Qian Wenhuan

Of course, all of this is currently just speculation.

Furthermore, if the USB drive is truly life's key to exiting the box, why can't life be materialized into reality when it's materialized?

Chen Chen had previously thought it was due to insufficient energy, but he had also tried to extract a cockroach from a movie, and still failed.

Not only that, but Chen Chen had also attempted to find traces of bacteria and other microorganisms on the newly materialized NZT-48. No matter how Chen Chen observed with a microscope, there was still nothing.

Therefore, Chen Chen had two guesses:

1. The passage formed by the USB drive cannot accommodate life forms. 2. All the worlds connected by the USB drive inherently lack life.

In reality, to determine whether the USB drive in his hand is the same as the one from Lucy, only one thing needs to be done.

That is to see if the USB drive can contain the movie Lucy.

If it can contain the movie Lucy, it naturally proves that this USB drive has no relation to the movie, just as no matter how strong a person is, they cannot lift themselves by pulling their own hair.

Conversely, if it cannot contain the movie, then two possibilities arise:

The first possibility is that the USB drive has a very deep connection with the movie Lucy, hence it cannot contain it.

The second possibility is that the movie Lucy is too fantastical and does not conform to the structure of reality, thus it cannot be stored in the USB drive.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the USB drive indeed comes from the movie Lucy, but it can also contain the movie itself.

It's like the infinite parallel universes; what is stored in the USB drive is another Lucy world, not the Lucy world where the USB drive itself is located...

But if it's like this, whether it succeeds or fails, there's no solution.

Emmmm...

This is really awkward.

For now, all one can say is that the depths of this USB drive are unfathomable.

Chen Chen decided to stop thinking about it and walked directly to the studio, plugging the USB drive into the computer.

"X, put the movie Lucy into the USB drive."

"Yes, Dad."

As Little X replied, Chen Chen only saw a progress bar flash on the computer screen, followed by a "thud"...

As expected, it couldn't be put into the USB drive.

Chen Chen, unwilling to give up, opened the USB drive. Inside, there were indeed still those seven movies.

[Ju-On.avi][Final Destination.avi][One Missed Call.avi][The Ring.avi][Alita: Battle Angel.mp4][Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters.mp4][Terminator 5: Dark Fate.mp4].

This USB drive used to only have four movies, but then Chen Chen foolishly tried it once, and it became seven.

However, after deducing that the USB drive was the key for the box to connect to reality, Chen Chen became hesitant to casually open these movies.

The latter three movies were fine, but Chen Chen worried that if he opened the first four horror movies, he might trigger some hidden mechanism.

Of course, to uncover the secrets of the USB drive, these movies would have to be opened sooner or later.

But not now.

Three days later.

Shangdu Trump International Airport.

A Boeing 747 aircraft bound for Switzerland was parked on the spacious tarmac. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the departure hall, one could see the azure sea in the distance.

In front of the boarding gate, a group of foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes were queuing, slowly passing through the ticket check and heading towards the plane.

Mixed among the large number of foreigners were only a handful of Central Continent people with black hair and black eyes.

Within the Earth Federation, the political system was diverse, and the European Region was a special case.

Unlike continental regions such as Central Continent, Indian Continent, and North America, which had unified regional governments, it adopted a peculiar decentralized autonomy.

Switzerland was one of the members of the decentralized autonomous regions of Europe.

Although it belonged to the European Region, it had its own independent "sub-federation" system, bypassing the regional government and only being under the jurisdiction of the Earth's mother federation.

The density of Central Continent people in Switzerland was not high. Besides the difficulty of obtaining a work visa for Switzerland, there was also the phenomenon of the Swiss people always discriminating against foreigners.

However, compared to the idyllic natural environment, world-leading quality of life, orderly public life operations, and most importantly, the high salaries, a certain portion of people would grit their teeth and persevere.

Qian Wenhuan was one such person.

He had finally returned to Central Continent to visit his relatives, but because a major incident occurred at his company, his supervisor personally called him seven or eight times, forcing him to return early.

Sometimes, he even considered leaving his hometown, seeing his wife and daughter only a few times a year. Since it was so hard, why not just quit his job?

But every time he thought of his high salary, Qian Wenhuan could only abandon this unrealistic notion.

Life in other regions was never easy for those who lived there.

Among the crowd of foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes, Qian Wenhuan subconsciously puffed out his chest and sucked in his stomach, trying his best to make his short stature appear more upright.

After all, to integrate into the Swiss work circle, this was basic etiquette.

But just as he was putting on airs like a successful businessman from the upper class, he suddenly saw a person from the Central Continent walking ahead of him in the crowd.

Tsk, tsk. Although the person looked young from behind, I have to admit, they were even better at pretending than I am.

They were clearly wearing a few hundred yuan worth of street vendor clothes, but they walked with a power that compelled people to look their way.

Not only that, but with every step they took, they exuded an air of effortless grace and composure.

They must have grown up in Switzerland, right?

Qian Wenhuan shook his head in disdain.

The most bizarre thing about the Swiss is this: despite being proletarians with no money or property, they always pretend to be wealthy and civilized, expecting people from other countries to envy and be jealous of them.

This young fellow up ahead has clearly mastered the essence of it.

Foreigners only see Switzerland's ridiculously high salaries, but rarely know that their cost of living is also astonishingly outrageous…

Qian Wenhuan glared fiercely a few times, as if trying to steal that kind of aura for himself.

Only he knew the bitterness in his heart.

When he was young, people around him always said he looked like a mountain bandit from the turbulent era of the last century. No matter what he wore, he couldn't shake off that bandit aura.

Now, although society has smoothed out many of his rough edges, and he smiles at everyone, it has only erased that bandit air.

But the rustic charm remains…

Despite his poor image, through hard work, Qian Wenhuan, at his current age in the Central Continent Region, has already earned twenty thousand Swiss Francs a month, while others his age are still struggling to earn ten thousand.

Converted, that's a monthly salary of one hundred and forty thousand.

It's a pity that taxes alone take away twenty thousand, insurance ten thousand, rent and utilities twenty thousand, and food alone costs over thirty thousand each month.

That damn place is ridiculously expensive to live in…

Inside the sky bridge, Qian Wenhuan's thoughts drifted aimlessly; he didn't even know what he was thinking about until he boarded the plane.

Guided by a flight attendant, Qian Wenhuan arrived at his seat and placed his luggage in the overhead compartment.

The company had booked him a business class seat. The seats were arranged in groups of two, with three groups per row. The seats could not only recline to a 180-degree flat bed but also had individual TVs.

Although not as considerate and comfortable as first class, it was passable.

At least it was much more comfortable than economy class, where you can't even stretch your legs…

Phew!

As his backside settled completely into the seat, Qian Wenhuan let out a sigh of relief. He could finally get some good rest for the next sixteen hours…

"Rustle, rustle…"

But just then, Qian Wenhuan suddenly heard the sound of pages turning from the next seat.

Because the business class seats were arranged in pairs, the two seats were actually adjacent, separated only by a retractable plastic partition.

At this moment, the partition was not raised. Qian Wenhuan followed the sound and was stunned to find…

The young man who had been acting so high and mighty was sitting right next to him?

And looking at what he was holding, he had a book in his hand.

Hmm.

The title of the book was… Zero-Based Happy German Learning.

"Pfft!"

Qian Wenhuan burst out laughing like a pig.
