This was news that concerned every Time Walker, because if you weren't careful, you could very well end up like the twelve Time Walkers in the news—imprisoned somewhere for no apparent reason.
Becoming someone else's means of transportation.
Merchants of the past sold southern goods in the north and northern goods in the south.
But now, the Outer World and the Inner World had too many differences, and there were far too many things that could be traded.
Only one thing could limit this business: transportation efficiency and transport capacity.
Right now, if you didn't want to become someone else's mule, you had to make yourself stronger.

Qing Chen thought that the person who had ambushed Jiang Xue back then might have had the same idea.
At this moment, Wang Yun slowly recovered from her shock.
The other students in the class also began paying attention to this news. No one brought up Qing Chen and the transfer students becoming neighbors anymore.
The focus had shifted.
But ordinary people watched the news more like they were watching a fire from across the river. It had little to do with them.

He got up to pay the book fee to the class study representative, covering Nan Gengchen's share as well.
It wasn't because Qing Chen was particularly righteous. It was simply because, after becoming a Time Walker, Nan Gengchen's first thought had been to treat him to a meal. Now that Qing Chen had money, paying for him in advance was no big deal.
Nan Gengchen was so touched that his eyes filled with tears.
