"Haa—"

Kurosaki Ichigo walked out of Karakura First High School with a yawn. The sky had already turned a withered yellow, and the teacher's incredibly dull lullaby had left his head feeling a bit dizzy.

Who exactly was that guy under the overpass last night? Kurosaki Ichigo recalled the scene from yesterday, still feeling a sense of eeriness, because no one had seen how that person named Wu Biao had appeared.

At the time, Kurosaki Ichigo had felt a strange ripple and subconsciously glanced in that direction, only to see Wu Biao suddenly drill out of thin air.

This immediately made Kurosaki Ichigo curious about that person.

"Yo, little brother, it's you again!"

A voice suddenly cutting in from the side interrupted Kurosaki Ichigo's deep thoughts. He turned his head and realized there was a translucent middle-aged man floating in mid-air beside him. Yes, floating...

The corner of Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth twitched. He turned his head straight back and continued walking forward, completely ignoring this unknown translucent creature.

The middle-aged man's ghost, however, followed him relentlessly: "Little brother, I'm so bored, let's chat for a while."

"..." Ignore.

"Just for a bit, if you keep me company, I'll give you money, how about that!"

"..." Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth trembled. Money from a ghost? Who am I supposed to spend that with?

"I'm going all out! As long as you chat with me, I'll introduce my daughter to you. My daughter is very beautiful. A few days ago, I even floated into the bathroom to watch her bathe. That bust, those hips, and those long, white, shapely legs..."

As he spoke, Kurosaki Ichigo hadn't reacted yet, but this unknown creature started having a nosebleed...

Damn, this is a pervert!

Kurosaki Ichigo instantly labeled this person in his heart and continued to ignore the pervert who was chattering away and showing off his daughter's body to a stranger, hoping that after being ignored for long enough, this pervert would leave on his own.

"Step right up, don't miss out! 100 bucks won't leave you at a loss, won't leave you cheated. 100 bucks lets you vent the stress of work and the pain of a breakup to your heart's content. A human punching bag is just that satisfying!"

"Is this your punching bag? No, this is your punching bag!"

The extremely bizarre hawking sound immediately drew Kurosaki Ichigo's gaze. However, when he saw the person making the noise, Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned, because the person selling 'human punching bags' on the street was none other than the youth who had appeared so strangely under the overpass last night.

It was that Wu Biao with the odd name. At this moment, Wu Biao was still dressed in the same outfit as yesterday: shirtless, wearing a pair of tattered jeans that still had faint traces of blood on them.

Hanging on his chest was a sign with a bunch of characters he couldn't understand, though Kurosaki Ichigo did recognize the '100 yuan'!

"Eh... brother, it's you!" Wu Biao also saw Kurosaki Ichigo walking over and immediately hurried toward him with an anxious face: "Brother, tell me, what kind of hellish place is this?"

After leaving the riverbank yesterday, Wu Biao had run all the way back, wanting to return to the place where he had been fighting to kill his way in and out three times, but he ended up running until late at night and ran right out of Karakura Town.

However, what he saw was an endless ocean. That's right, damn it, it was actually an ocean...

Did I really jump across an ocean in a single charge? And how could I have run so far in the blink of an eye? Then, Brother Biao realized he had probably... picked the wrong direction!

Then Wu Biao ran back to Karakura Town and ran in another direction. This time, what he saw finally wasn't the ocean; mountains came into his view.

The result was naturally more running. In the end, he ran all over Karakura Town, tired, thirsty, and hungry, but he couldn't find the way back.

Finally, he could only come to the city center of Karakura Town, wanting to see if there were any familiar buildings, but he found that he couldn't even recognize the characters on the signs in this godforsaken place. The only few characters he could identify as Chinese, he couldn't understand the meaning of.

Hmm, that's right, I must be dreaming. It should be fine once I wake up!

Holding onto this thought, Wu Biao fell asleep. However... after opening his eyes, it was still this strange world. His stomach was starving, so he took the only 10-yuan note he had from his pocket and wanted to find a supermarket to buy some bread.

After searching all the way, he finally found a shop, but... he couldn't even spend the money. In the end, the boss was so annoyed by him that he gave Wu Biao a piece of bread as charity and showed him what the current currency looked like.

"Brother, tell me the truth, what kind of hellish place is this?" Wu Biao grabbed Kurosaki Ichigo's shoulder: "Is there something wrong? I just blinked my eyes, and everything changed. Tell me where this is, which way is S City, and also... can you treat me to a meal first?"

"..." Kurosaki Ichigo felt dizzy from this barrage of questions and subconsciously nodded.

Ten minutes later, Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the dozen large bowls stacked on the dining table, his face darker than the bottom of a pot. One had to know these were large bowls of ramen, the largest size available...

The other customers in the ramen shop had also forgotten to eat, all staring blankly at Wu Biao, who was burying his face and devouring the food.

'Bang—'

The large bowl was set down, and Wu Biao let out a satisfied burp: "Ah, I'm alive again!" Only then did he remember what Kurosaki Ichigo had said earlier, and he blinked his eyes in confusion.

"You're saying this is Karakura Town, you don't know what S City is, and you don't know what Earth is?"

"Yeah, I don't know anything you're talking about!" Kurosaki Ichigo nodded expressionlessly, though his heart was aching. His living expenses for this month were likely going to shrink by more than half after this meal!

"How is that possible? Could it be that I transmigrated?" Wu Biao waved his hand, but then he froze in mid-air. Recalling his trek throughout the night yesterday, he probably, maybe, really had transmigrated.

After all, no matter how good he was at fighting, it was impossible to cross an ocean and climb over mountains in a single charge!

Wu Biao rubbed his chin: "So that's it, looks like I really did transmigrate..."

"What's transmigrate?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked, full of curiosity.

"Transmigration, it's just..." Wu Biao frowned. How should he explain this thing called transmigration? "Forget it, anyway, it's transmigration. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Not everyone is as smart as Brother Biao."

"..." Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth twitched. You damn well explain it! If you don't explain, who would know?

"But if I transmigrated, doesn't that mean my wages from a month of laying bricks are gone?" Wu Biao blinked his eyes, then shook his head indifferently. Brother Biao had truly never cared about money.

In Brother Biao's world, as long as he didn't starve to death, it didn't matter if he had no money.

"Sigh, jobs are so hard to find. I wonder if there are any construction sites in this world hiring bricklayers. I need to find a place to get some food quickly, or I'm really going to starve to death!"

A wandering orphan, huh?

Kurosaki Ichigo listened to Wu Biao's muttering and vaguely understood something, so he spoke up: "The convenience store near my house is hiring a cashier. Do you want me to ask for you?"

"Cashier?" Wu Biao was taken aback upon hearing this. "I can't do that. I don't even recognize the money you have here. You actually have 100-yuan coins, for crying out loud! Are all the people living here filthy rich?"

"Huh?" Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth twitched. It was truly the first time he had heard of someone who was fourteen or fifteen years old and didn't recognize money.

Deciding not to dwell on what a 100-yuan coin was for the moment, Kurosaki Ichigo said, feeling somewhat speechless, "If you really have nowhere else to go, I can talk to my old man. You can come to our clinic and help him out!"

Kurosaki Ichigo didn't know why, but he felt very curious about the background of the young man in front of him. Moreover, this person didn't even look older than himself, and he wanted to help out within the scope of his abilities.

"Helping out? Haha, I definitely have no problem with that!"
