Chapter 330 tp? (Three!)

Evening.

Stepping into the night, Dong Xuebin returned to the station Family Compound with English-Chinese Dictionary in his arms expectantly. As soon as he entered the house, he hurriedly made some food as if in a hurry and heated it up in the microwave. Egg custard, some soy sauce and sesame oil, and he hurriedly filled his belly. After burping, Dong Xuebin didn't even bother to smoke. He immediately moved his shoulders, sat firmly on the sofa, and continued to study the instructions.

nu!

A dial and a few numbers came out.  The Power of Time and Wealth 330

nu!

Dials and numbers disappeared again.

He tried it back and forth countless times, and pondered over and over again the string of numbers on it. Suddenly, Dong Xuebin was thoughtful and seemed to understand the meaning of the numbers. After pondering for a moment, he tentatively called out the nu menu, and then said "Rewind one second", after swiping, he saw the nu number flashing for an instant, Dong Xuebin also flashed in front of his eyes, and he was sure that the time had gone back one second. After that, he looked at the nu with concentration, and sure enough, the number of digits in the line of numbers on it that he didn't know what it meant was one smaller!

From 4 to 3!

You can't be wrong, Dong Xuebin understands, the number means the remaining b time!

According to this understanding, the time displayed by several numbers is... three minutes and forty-three seconds, which coincides with the incomplete b time of Dong Xuebin.

Dong Xuebin is very happy. This nu has helped him a lot. When he used b in the past, because Director Hou sometimes used it for a few seconds or ten seconds, this kind of number was too cumbersome, and he couldn't calculate it mentally. Dong Xuebin never knew how many seconds he had. To save time on b, it is unrealistic to write down every use with a pen and then calculate it slowly, because the moment when b is often used is very urgent, or fighting, or doing something, so there is no time to write it down one by one, and I can't remember it. With nu, it is convenient. How much time is left Ming Ming is written out in vain.

What a great feature.

No, you have to confirm again.

Dong Xuebin waited until twelve o'clock at night, tick, tick, when the pointer reached the zero point, Dong Xuebin immediately called out nu, and saw that the number of three minutes and forty-three seconds immediately changed, becoming four minutes and forty-three seconds, and one minute was added to zero every day. By the way, the above is the remaining time! After confirming this, Dong Xuebin rolled his eyes again. Since nu was something he didn't know before, does that mean that there are some instructions that he wasn't aware of? Besides b and nu, what else?

This ability to rewind time has always been Dong Xuebin's trump card, and it is also a big trump card and support. Since he knows that he has not studied it thoroughly, he cannot let it go.

But how to find out other instructions?

Dong Xuebin thought of a stupid way to read it word by word!

Read them all again. If you don't believe me, you can't find them!

With hope, Dong Xuebin seemed very excited. Even though it was past twelve o'clock in the morning, he had no intention of sleeping. He picked up the English-Chinese Dictionary and started to read a word., two words, three words, an hour later, Dong Xuebin was dazzled and his head was dizzy. He found that this stupid method failed for no other reason. There were too many words. How could he read hundreds of thousands of words? What's more, there are so many words Dong Xuebin that I don't even know how to pronounce, and I have to read the phonetic notation one by one.

No, if I continue to recite it like this, I won't be able to finish it in two months.

What to do? Is there any simpler way?

Soon, Dong Xuebin thought of another trick. Since it was an instruction for his superpower, he could simply ignore words like frigates, research institutes, and buildings. As long as he found some words that looked like instructions and recited them, he should be able to roughly find them out.

Yes, just do it!  The Power of Time and Wealth 330

"N."

"Ff."

"Lf."

At four o'clock in the morning, Dong Xuebin couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep.

In the morning, Alarm Clock rang, Dong Xuebin rubbed his eyes and crawled out of bed. After brushing his teeth and washing up, he picked up the dictionary and flipped through it, reading word by word.

While reciting Dong Xuebin, I vowed secretly that if I went to review any English again in the future, my surname would not be Dong. This time, he read the words day and night, which made Dong Xuebin nauseated. Now he wants to vomit when he sees the English words, but he has to read them in order to make progress in the future.

While I was busy working, my phone rang.

Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, it's Hu Silian Secretary Hu's phone number.

Dong Xuebin flicked through the dictionary pages and pressed the answer button, "Hello, Sister Hu."

Hu Silian smiled and said, "County Chief Xie asked me to tell you that you can go to her office when you are free today."

"Okay, please Sister Hu."

"By the way, after you go to the Investment Bureau and take office, according to the rules, you can bring someone with you. It will be officially named Investment Bureau Office. You can also give it to a deputy director. In fact, he will be your secretary, responsible for helping you handle some chores. I think County Chief Xie wants you to bring someone over. After all, Investment Bureau used to ask... but it doesn't matter. Well, if you don't have a candidate, I will find a suitable one for you at the county government office."

Can a buddy also have a secretary?

This Dong Xuebin really hasn't thought about it, "What, Sister Hu, I haven't thought about the secretary thing yet, but there is an old subordinate of mine who I want to get Investment Bureau for him. Do you think this is troublesome? His name is Guo Panwei, and he is currently working with Capital City National Security Bureau."

"It's a bit far, isn't it? Are you familiar with the leader there?"

"Familiar, as long as we can pick people up here, I will call the National Security Bureau, and they will definitely be able to release them."

"It shouldn't be a big problem, then... let me tell County Chief Xie for you."

"Hey, trouble Sister Hu."

"Haha, why are we so polite?"

Hu Silian was not at work, so it was convenient to talk to her family. She had not seen Dong Xuebin for a long time. In addition, what happened in South Korea made Hu Silian very interested, so she chatted with Dong Xuebin for a while. Finally, Hu Silian said with a smile, "Director Dong, did you just wake up? Your voice sounds a little hoarse? Or do you have a cold?"

Dong Xuebin cheered, "Don't mention it, I'm just reviewing English."

"Ah?" The Power of Time and Wealth 330

"After reciting words for a day, my head feels heavy."

"Haha, that's it."

Dong Xuebin opened the dictionary, patted it, and complained, "Why do you think there are so many English words? I read it all night, and I still haven't finished reading it. I still skipped and read it, alas." As he said, he pointed at a few words at random, "N, rry,, look, it will probably take two days to read."

Suddenly, the surrounding air suddenly solidified, as if the air pressure had increased countless times!

Dong Xuebin frowned subconsciously, "Sister Hu? Sister Hu? The line is disconnected?" No one answered on the other end of the phone.

Dong Xuebin didn't react at first, but after a second, he realized something was wrong. The phone in his hand was very hard, as if it was frozen in the air. He held it to his ear and wanted to change his position, but he didn't move it. Dong Xuebin was stunned and stood up!

The world in front of him was simply dumbfounding to Dong Xuebin!

The English-Chinese dictionary was floating in the air on the sofa, the n mobile phone was fixed in the void, the second and minute hands of the clock on the wall stopped motionless, and even the kettle on the gas stove in the kitchen that was making water, the flames underneath actually seemed to be dry and fixed there like a photo taken by a camera.

How is that possible!

Holy shit! What is this?

Dong Xuebin was a little panicked and ran to the window to look at the courtyard downstairs.

Seven or eight sparrows maintained a spread-winged posture near a telephone pole, and they seemed to have applied Body Immobilization Technique general Anomaly in a daze. Qin Yong was on the left as he was about to go to work. He raised his legs in the air, holding a bag under his arm, his expression stuck on a smile, and there was a young man riding a motorcycle on the side who was about to drive out, as well as all the pedestrians and vehicles on the road outside the compound, as well as the light in the sky, insects, birds...

Everything stood still!

The only one who can move is Dong Xuebin!

"God!" Dong Xuebin was dumbfounded. He still didn't understand what was going on. There was no sound at all around him. Plop, plop, he could only hear the beating of his own heart. It was as if the whole world was just a photo, as if Dong Xuebin was the only one left in the world!

Dong Xuebin turned pale. Realizing that this might be related to the instructions of his ability, he immediately shouted nu!

Four minutes and eleven seconds!

He clearly remembered that his remaining power time was four minutes and forty-three seconds, which was absolutely correct, but now it was actually less, and it was still decreasing little by little!

Four minutes and ten seconds...

Four minutes and nine seconds...

Four minutes and eight seconds...

Relating to the scene before him, Dong Xuebin seems to understand that he can stop time? Is this stop time deducted from the one minute accumulated every day? If you stop for one second, one second will be deducted? So the remaining time is gradually decreasing? That's the only way to explain it!

Be good!

But... how to go back?

Dong Xuebin suddenly remembered something. When he was on the phone with Hu Silian just now, how many words did he seem to pronounce? Yes, I read it, what is it? What's coming? No one could stay calm with the abnormal sight in front of them, and Dong Xuebin was no exception. He forgot everything in the rush, and hurriedly walked over to grab the dictionary in the air, but after grabbing it, he lost his hand, and the dictionary didn't move!

Just like a mobile phone! Dong Xuebin can't pick it up!

Or should I say, everything in the world is now at a standstill!

Dong Xuebin didn't believe in evil, so he grabbed the dictionary and increased his strength. Sure enough, this time the dictionary moved, and he pulled it forcefully in front of him. It was very heavy. It felt like he was moving a dictionary, which was better than sinking it. Several times as heavy as a dumbbell, and then Dong Xuebin let go, the dictionary stopped in mid-air again, without the usual tendency to fall freely, just like the magic book in Harry Potter, just floating like this.

Dong Xuebin couldn't care less about being surprised and quickly took a look at the dictionary.

That's right! Remembered!

yes! I said this in Chinese before, which means stop!

Dong Xuebin took a breath and shouted, "!"

The air is relieved!

With two snaps, the English-Chinese Dictionary and the mobile phone fell to the ground together. The kettle in the kitchen was whining, and the clock on the wall continued to tick. Looking out the window again, Qin Yong walked out of the courtyard with a bag under his arm, smiling, and the sparrows also flew over!

Time is restored in vain!

It's a command! A command to stop time!

"Hello? Director Dong? Director Dong?" Hu Silian's voice came from the mobile phone on the ground.

Dong Xuebin quickly lowered his head and picked it up, "Hey, Sister Hu, it's me, it's me."

"What's wrong? Is the signal not good? Haha..." Then she continued what she just said, "It seems that I have to learn from you. I have put down English for several years. I will also review it another day."

Dong Xuebin looked left and right, "So what, just now... are you okay?"

"Just now? What happened just now?"

Didn't she notice? Only you know? Dong Xuebin said, "Uh, it's nothing, the signal seems to have been interrupted."

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Oh, it's already this time. I should go to work."

After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin sweatdropped and sat down on the sofa, wiping his forehead. He felt a little frightened for a moment, but he was really not mentally prepared at all.

Is this also my ability?

b Backward time? Still time?

Dong Xuebin lit a cigarette and took two deep puffs. He was surprised and happy in his heart. It was a good thing to have one more trump card. After calming down for a few minutes, Dong Xuebin accepted this fact. He had no choice. Things like b that could rewind time had already appeared on him, and now there was another one that could stop time. It was nothing. In the past, I only discovered B, and thought that my ability was to rewind time, but now it seems that this ability should be to control time, be able to go back, and be able to stop. The nudging dial also foreshadowed this.

Manipulate time?

Dong Xuebin was immediately excited.

From the experiment just now, b and b share the remaining time, which is one minute that can be saved every day. Also, unlike b, which usually defaults to one minute when called, it is similar to the nu menu command. Call once to execute and call again to restore.

Dong Xuebin couldn't help but try it a few more times.

Finally, Dong Xuebin thought of a possibility. Could it be that after the initial car accident, something unexpected happened to him after his death, and he gained one minute more every day than everyone else in the world? It took about a minute between his death and resurrection. Could it be that this minute was not included in the time of this world? So I have these sixty seconds more every day than others? But this minute cannot be synchronized with everyone in the world, so it has been accumulated. Whether it is stop time or rewind time, it can be freely used by myself? Because this is my extra free time?

This is the most reasonable explanation that Dong Xuebin can come up with.

Three is here!
