World Numbering

Li Mu Chuan walked over to the barbell and, after giving it some thought, began testing his strength bit by bit.

He started with fifty jin, easily lifting the barbell.

Then Li Mu Chuan gradually increased the weight. It remained fairly easy throughout, but once it reached a hundred jin, he began to struggle a little.

Considering that Li Mu Chuan had originally been an ordinary person with little exercise, being able to lift a hundred jin was already quite impressive.

Li Mu Chuan was rather satisfied with that.

After working out in the gym for over an hour, he returned home drenched in sweat.

After taking a shower, Li Mu Chuan lay down and quickly fell asleep.

Having spent over half a month in the apocalypse, he had finally returned. Li Mu Chuan slept exceptionally soundly that night.

The next day.

When Li Mu Chuan woke up, he felt refreshed and energized. After stretching, he washed up.

He checked the time. It was only a little past seven, when the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Seeing that, Li Mu Chuan checked the map on his phone and decided to jog from the residential area to the park and back, then grab some breakfast along the way.

The morning air carried a faint dampness. As Li Mu Chuan jogged against the cool breeze, he felt rather refreshed.

By the time Li Mu Chuan finished his loop and returned, more than half an hour had passed.

"Boss, five steamed buns, a bowl of soybean milk, and a fried dough stick."

Still sweaty, Li Mu Chuan bought breakfast and ate as he headed home.

It was the time when office workers were heading to work, and quite a few hurried commuters could be seen on the streets.

As Li Mu Chuan ate his steamed buns and watched those office workers, he felt that not having to work was truly great.

"Li Mu Chuan?"

Just as Li Mu Chuan gnawed on a steamed bun while walking home, a surprised voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing the voice, Li Mu Chuan found it somewhat familiar.

"Si Yu?"

Li Mu Chuan turned around and was taken aback when he saw Si Yu. What a coincidence—they had actually run into each other here.

"What a coincidence."

Li Mu Chuan smiled at Si Yu.

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Si Yu looked at Li Mu Chuan and seemed rather happy as well.

"Have you found a job recently? Where are you working now?"

It had been some time since Li Mu Chuan resigned, so Si Yu thought he should have found another job by now.

However, there had been no updates on Li Mu Chuan's social media, so it did not seem like he had found work.

Li Mu Chuan scratched his head. "Not yet. I probably won't be looking for a job for a while. I plan to rest some more."

"I see." Si Yu seemed to think of something, and her mood visibly sank.

Li Mu Chuan did not think much of it. He only noticed that Si Yu seemed a little unhappy, though he had no idea why.

"We need to get to work. Don't be late."

Pan Jingjing had been standing nearby. Ever since she saw Li Mu Chuan, she had not said a word, nor did she seem inclined to greet him.

Perhaps she had grown impatient by now, as she urged Si Yu to hurry up.

Hearing that, Si Yu could not help feeling a little anxious. After saying goodbye to Li Mu Chuan, she quickly left.

Once they had walked some distance away, Pan Jingjing frowned deeply.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't have anything to do with that guy anymore. Why do you keep staring at him?"

"Look at him now. He lost his job, yet he doesn't even bother looking for another one. He has no ambition at all—he's completely content to loaf around and wait for death. If you really fall for someone like that, you'll suffer for the rest of your life!"

Pan Jingjing was somewhat angry. She simply could not understand how her friend had taken a liking to someone like Li Mu Chuan.

Just now, Li Mu Chuan had calmly said that he planned to rest for a while despite having no job. How could he even bring himself to say something like that? She felt embarrassed for him!

At those words, Si Yu lowered her head even further. She remained silent the entire way, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Pan Jingjing sighed, unsure whether Si Yu had taken her words to heart.

No, no matter what, she had to make Si Yu give up on him.

Once Si Yu became a little more mature, she would understand that Pan Jingjing was only doing this for her own good!

Li Mu Chuan did not think much as he watched Si Yu leave. Back when they were still at the company, he and Si Yu had gotten along quite well.

Whenever they had time off, she had often asked him out to have fun. She had been one of his few friends at the company.

After finishing the steamed buns in his hand and drinking the soybean milk, Li Mu Chuan returned home.

He then turned on the shower and took a cold shower before sitting down in front of his computer.

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu Chuan began typing on the keyboard.

The first world he traveled to had been something like a primeval forest. Even now, looking back on it, he barely had any impression of that world.

Li Mu Chuan did not know what the first world he had traveled to had truly been like, or what era it belonged to.

With that thought, Li Mu Chuan skipped over that world.

The second world had been relatively less advanced than the Main World. Li Mu Chuan leaned toward the idea that it had been a parallel world.

After pondering for a moment, Li Mu Chuan assigned the second world he had traveled to a designation: G625 World.

625 represented the Main World's time when Li Mu Chuan had traveled there, while G stood for "past." That world had resembled an earlier era to some extent, so Li Mu Chuan had chosen that designation.

The third world had been the Future World, a world with highly advanced technology where Huaxia held a dominant position in society.

He designated it W627 and added some basic information about that world.

Then there was the world he had just finished traveling through, W727. It was an apocalyptic world where humanity stood on the brink of extinction and order had collapsed.

However, he had also gained quite a few benefits from such a world. If everything went smoothly this time, he should be able to make a huge sum of money. In addition, he had gained a large number of Interference Points because of it.

After finishing his records, Li Mu Chuan shut down the computer.

This computer would no longer be connected to the internet.

Given the world designations Li Mu Chuan had made up himself, even if a thief broke in and saw the information, they probably would not be able to make sense of it.

It was just like Li Mu Chuan's experience in G625 World. When he told the people there that he was a traveler between worlds, no one believed him at all.

Li Mu Chuan had personally tested this. The serum patent he had applied for should not make anyone wildly speculate that he could travel between worlds.

Then there were the Interference Points.

Li Mu Chuan examined them carefully. His Interference Points were still at zero.

Li Mu Chuan's brow furrowed slightly. Did Interference Points have to be obtained in other worlds, with no effect in the Main World?

According to the explanation for obtaining Interference Points, interfering with the course of a world could earn points.

Li Mu Chuan had already applied for the serum patent, yet the number of points had remained unchanged until now.

Either the Main World did not offer any way to obtain points, or it was because the medicine had not yet gone on the market?

But Li Mu Chuan felt that the Main World simply did not meet the conditions for earning points. After all, when he had left some information behind in G625 World, he had received points directly.

Even if G625 World was going to develop things like digital wallets and nuclear reactions, that would still take time, wouldn't it?
