Ten minutes until traversal begins?

Wu An's eyes lit up!

He hadn't expected the second traversal to come so quickly!

But since the system had given the prompt, there was no way it could be wrong!

"I wonder which world I'll be traversing to this time!"

"Could it be The Outcast world again?"

Wu An looked forward to it!

Ever since parting with Zhang Chulan, Wu An still remembered it clearly!

He wondered how Zhang Chulan was doing now.

And Feng Baobao...

After what he had done, would The Outcast world still follow its original storyline?

"System, what is the mission for this traversal?"

Wu An did not directly ask which world it would be!

"Ding... The specific mission will only be issued once the host reaches the traversed world!"

Wu An was somewhat helpless!

He had originally wanted to make some preparations!

After all, if he knew the mission and the world in advance, Wu An would definitely be able to handle things with ease!

Unfortunately, the system would not indulge him!

"I hope it's a low-martial world!"

"Otherwise, if it's really one of those mythical fantasy worlds, I'm screwed!"

In a true mythological world, any random powerhouse could pluck stars and seize the moon, move mountains and drain seas!

If Wu An went there, he would not even count as cannon fodder, much less complete the mission!

Just then, the system's voice rang out again!

"Ding... System notification: eight minutes remaining..."

"Got it!"

Wu An turned and headed to Nini's room!

"Nini, I'm going back to my room to sleep!"

"Mm, get some good rest, Brother!"

Nini nodded obediently!

She thought Wu An was tired!

After all, Wu An had to attend school during the day, then work part-time as a tutor after school!

How could that not be exhausting?

Right then, Nini made up her mind!

"Brother works far too hard!"

"I have to grow up quickly so I can help him share the burden..."

Nini thought firmly to herself!

After returning to his room, Wu An locked the door!

"System, begin traversal!"

Excitement spread across Wu An's face!

At once, a Seven-Colored Spacetime Passage opened in the room!

Wu An stepped straight into the Spacetime Passage!

Buzz!

It felt like an instant, yet also like an eternity. When Wu An appeared again, he was already in another world!

"This is?!"

Wu An frowned slightly!

His gaze swept over the area!

Gothic-style buildings stood all around him!

Blond, blue-eyed white people passed along the street one after another!

Aside from that,

Wu An could also sense that the air around him was somewhat cold!

Chilly winds blew in waves!

"This probably isn't China!"

Wu An narrowed his eyes!

"And judging by the surrounding architecture, it should be twentieth-century Europe!"

Wu An quickly made his assessment!

"Sir, where are you from?"

"I don't believe I've seen you before!"

Just then, a white man approached and asked!

Hm?

Shock appeared on Wu An's face when he heard that!

Because he suddenly realized that he could understand what the white man was saying!

Wu An's English might have been fairly good!

But this was Europe!

And it was the twentieth century!

It was completely different from the English taught in China in later generations!

The pronunciations and syllables varied greatly!

Yet Wu An understood every word perfectly!

It was simply inconceivable!

"Ding... Since this system helps the host traverse the Myriad Worlds,

it will naturally allow the host to communicate with the living beings of the Myriad Worlds without any obstacles! The host will automatically learn the local language upon arriving in each world!"

The system's notification came right on cue!

So that was how it was...

Wu An understood!

Sure enough, having a system was awesome!

Meanwhile, the white man who had questioned Wu An studied him uncertainly!

This black-haired, black-eyed young man before him...

was simply too strange!

Neither Wu An's black hair nor his eye color surprised him much!

After all, white people knew that white people were not the only race in the world!

What astonished him was Wu An's clothing!

The fabric of Wu An's clothes was something the white man had never seen before!

Yet he could tell that this kind of material was definitely not something ordinary people could afford to wear!

Could this young man be from the territory of some great noble?

Or perhaps the royal family?

At that thought, the white man's expression immediately changed!

There was even a trace of respect in the way he looked at Wu An!

No matter where Wu An came from, he was not someone this man could afford to offend!

"Where is this place?"

"And what time is it now?"

Wu An casually spoke in extremely authentic European English!

That made the white man even more certain that Wu An had an extraordinary background!

"Respected sir, this is Switzerland..."

"As for the date, it is May 7, 1905!"

Though the white man had his doubts, he still respectfully answered Wu An's questions!

Switzerland!

1905!

Wu An immediately fell silent!

"System, what exactly is the mission?"

"And what world is this?"

"Ding... Please keep walking forward and turn right after eight hundred meters..."

Wu An bade the white man farewell and quickly followed the system's instructions!

"Who is that man?"

"Judging by his clothes, could he be some noble lord?"

Along the way, Wu An drew all kinds of exclamations!

Everyone who saw Wu An looked utterly shocked!

"But why would a noble lord come to a place like this?"

"Yeah, is there something here that attracted a noble lord?"

"Can't you tell? This noble lord is unbelievably handsome!"

Everyone discussed it in hushed voices!

By then, Wu An had already left the crowd behind and arrived before a dilapidated building!

"This place is?!"

Wu An could not make sense of it!

Because the system's prompts had stopped here!

In other words, someone extremely important lived in this building!

There was a strong chance that person was related to Wu An's mission this time!

Knock, knock...

Without hesitation, Wu An began knocking on the door!

A moment later, a young white man opened it!

The young man's eyes were bloodshot, and exhaustion was written all over his face. He had clearly been up all night!

"Who are you? We don't know each other, do we?"

The young white man glanced at Wu An and asked warily!

But Wu An froze the moment he saw him!

This...

Why did this man look so familiar?

Wu An steadied himself as thoughts raced through his mind!

He merely felt as though he had seen this young white man somewhere before!

But how could that be possible!

It was 1905!

China had not even been founded yet!

Not to mention Wu An—even the Wu Family did not know where it was!

"You are..."

"You are..."

"I remember now!"

In a flash, Wu An's eyes widened!

"You're Einstein!"

"Albert Einstein!"

Wu An's tone was utterly certain!

What a joke!

At Wu An's school, every classroom displayed portraits of great figures such as Einstein!

Wu An saw them dozens of times every day!

He could not have been more familiar with them!

The reason he had not recognized him immediately

was that the Einstein before him should have been Einstein in his younger years!

He naturally looked somewhat different from the portraits!

The second reason was that Wu An had never considered the possibility!

"You know me?"

Einstein froze for a moment and asked in confusion.

Wu An composed himself and was just about to speak!

Just then,

"Ding... System notification... Mission issued!"

"Main mission... Help Albert Einstein perfect Relativity!"
