I'm so tired of traveling all the time

A soft double bed occupies most of the bedroom, with a wardrobe and bedside table next to it, on which there is a newspaper.

Wen Liang picked up the newspaper. "The New York Times, July 2008, 7?"

“Is this New York?”

Wen Liang walked to the bedroom window and opened it. The noisy sounds outside immediately came in.

“The sound insulation is good.”

The streets outside were busy with traffic, and everywhere you looked there were people of all races, most of them foreigners.

Even the neon signs on the buildings on both sides of the street were in English, and the faint noise was in accented English.

At this moment, Wen Liang was basically certain that he had really come to a foreign country.

As to whether it is a real foreign country or another world, it is hard to say.

"Can I try to see if my bank card can be used... Can domestic bank cards be used abroad?"

He took out the wallet from the space, which contained his own small treasury, with more than a thousand yuan in cash and three bank cards.

After thinking about it, Wen Liang put down the newspaper and walked out of the bedroom.

The living room outside the bedroom has a standard Western-style layout. There is also an open kitchen facing the desktop TV in the living room, making the living room look particularly spacious.

There is a three-seater sofa in the middle. Behind the sofa is the kitchen entrance, where an old refrigerator is rumbling away.

I opened the refrigerator and found that it was divided into two layers, constant temperature and refrigeration. The upper constant temperature layer was almost full of beer, and the lower refrigeration layer also had some instant steaks, pizza and self-heating rice.

Wen Liang put everything into the storage space without thinking, but after he finished putting them all away, he realized that this was no longer an island where supplies were scarce.

However, the habit he developed made Wen Liang feel a strong sense of crisis, and he would not feel at ease unless he put enough daily necessities in the storage space.

I closed the refrigerator and walked into the kitchen area. There were various sauces, seasonings, rice and beans in the cabinets, but they were all stored according to Western habits. There was no sign of star anise or other spices used in Chinese cuisine.

After seeing the frying pans and cooking pots under the stove cabinet, Wen Liang couldn't wait to put them away! When he even saw a set of steel knives, he hugged them in his arms with his eyes shining!

When I lived on an island before, my fruit knife had broken a long time ago. In the end, I had to use Chuck’s multi-functional knife that I got from a blind box to cut fish and meat. It was too difficult to use!

That's why he lost his composure when he saw the "brand new" knives, and at the same time he put away all the dozen or so knives and forks he found in the cupboard.

If God played a joke on him again and threw him back to the island, Wen Liang would definitely live a better life!

Oh, and there's toilet paper and lighters! And medicines, etc...

When he came to the bathroom, Wen Liang looked at the smooth, reflective mirror and was dazed for a moment.

The person in the mirror had completely changed into someone he didn't recognize. His originally fair skin had now turned brown and reddish, and there was no trace of his original appearance at all.

Rough skin, messy long hair, and bare upper body covered with various scratches.

Rubbing his thick beard, Wen Liang found the razor on the sink and clumsily turned on the switch. The buzzing white noise made Wen Liang's eyes well up with tears.

After shaving, Wen Liang fumbled to turn on the shower switch. The moment the hot water came out, he felt like he was sublimated!

It’s better to live in modern society!

The electric shaver is so convenient, and the electric water heater is so luxurious. It also allows you to take a hot shower, which I couldn’t even imagine when I was on the island!

Shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, facial cleanser, try them all!

As I sang while washing, the memories of the past seemed to come back to me instantly. Some of the songs that I had forgotten seemed to be re-engraved in my mind.

After “washing and brushing”, Wen Liang felt refreshed and felt like he had never been in such a good condition!

There is no shortage of clothes in my own space, but the temperature on the island is high all year round, and I can't wear any clothes at all.

After changing into sportswear, I still feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the unfamiliar self in the mirror, Wen Liang always felt a little out of place.

"Yes, hair!"

The hair below the head is neatly groomed, except for the black spots, but the hair is really too non-mainstream. When I was on the island, I could only use a fruit knife to cut it, and it looked like it was bitten by a dog. Even this is not something I can enjoy every month.

Just in time to explore this new world, Wen Liang thought about what he was going to do:

The first thing is to explore where this is, and then try to spend the RMB I brought with me, and then fill up with supplies, medicine, and haircuts...

When he arrived at the door, Wen Liang took a bunch of keys from the shoe cabinet, opened the door and tried it. It was the key to the door of this house.

As I left the door and walked into the corridor, I happened to meet two people, a man and a woman, coming out of the opposite room on the same floor.

The man opposite saw Wen Liang and greeted him with a smile, "Hi morning, Will!"

Does he know himself?

Wen Liang grinned unnaturally and replied, "Good morning~"

"This is my girlfriend Beth, and this is Will, a Chinese man who's a great translator!" The man introduced his girlfriend with a smile.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Beth."

"Nice to meet you, Will..." Wen Liang replied and shook hands with Beth who extended her hand.

"Rob and I are going to the amusement park. Do you want to join us?" Beth invited with a smile.

Although Wen Liang had been away from human society for a whole year, he still had some vision. He shook his head and said, "No, no, I have something else to do." Then he pointed to his hair.

So this familiar man is called Rob. Um, is it Rob or Robert? I didn't hear it clearly, forget it...

They walked into the elevator together. Robert and Beth were being affectionate with each other, while Wen Liang stayed in the corner, looking a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Robert turned around, holding a DV in his hand, and the red light showed that it was working.

"Come on, man, smile!"

"What?" Wen Liang was a little confused.

"Record your life. Don't always think about work. Smile more~" Robert was so enthusiastic that he almost shoved the DV into Wen Liang's face. "How about the fitness plan I mentioned before? When I'm free, let's do it together?"

"What? Uh... ok, ok, let's go together!" Wen Liang responded ambiguously.

"Then it's settled, how about we start tomorrow? I have to keep my Beth company today!"

Ding~ The elevator reaches the first floor.

After the three of them came out, they waved goodbye.

Wen Liang walked away with his back to the two men, but he could still vaguely hear the conversation between the two people waiting for the bus.

“Is he really Asian? His skin color looks too healthy?”

"He went to Mexico for a few months and became like this when he came back. Recently he has been keeping his hair white at home, but the effect doesn't seem to be that obvious~"

"Haha, that's really interesting. But his personality is pretty much what I imagine Asians to be like, very shy. Has he always been like this, or is it because he saw me?"

"Of course I'm like this because I saw you... Baji!"

Wen Liang felt jealous. They were kissing, that must be it!

"You have to help with this. As far as I know, Will is still single. You can introduce him to your friends. I think that will make him enthusiastic..."

Wen Liang's pace immediately quickened, and he felt a little excited inside: Yeah, this is possible!

After finding a bank, Wen Liang couldn't wait to go in and try his bank card. He could actually withdraw money?!

This made Wen Liang a little confused. When he heard Rob calling him Will and saying that he was working as a translator, he thought he had come to another world. But when he saw that his bank card could be used to withdraw money, he couldn't help but wonder, where on earth is this? !

He exchanged three thousand dollars and some change and left the bank.

I bought a copy of today's newspaper and a city map from nearby, and first looked at the time in the New York Times, April 2008, 4.

What movies have you seen that took place in New York during this time period?

It is definitely not the Marvel movie that I am familiar with, because there is no Stark Industries here.

Since I couldn't figure it out, I didn't waste any more time thinking about it. Looking at the city map, this is Manhattan, New York.

Referring to the tourist map, Wen Liang found a barber shop and had his hair cut into a neat and tidy short style.

Then we took a taxi to the pharmacy and the trade market.

I bought some common medicines for treating headaches and colds at the drugstore, as well as an emergency rescue kit including anti-inflammatory drugs, gauze, etc.

The price of medicines is too expensive. Wen Liang went to several stores but couldn’t find a cheap one. The prices were basically several times higher than the domestic prices!

Then we went to a Home Depot. According to the Indian driver, this is one of the largest home improvement retailers in North America, providing all types of tools and building materials!

Wen Liang does not need materials, only tools, and they are purely handmade tools.

Fortunately, everything here is really complete, and everything is perfect except the price, so Wen Liang only bought a logging axe, a saw, a safety rope, etc., as well as outdoor equipment such as tents, flashlights, jungle machetes, lighters, flints, tents, etc.

Because he bought a lot, the goods could be delivered to his door for free. After leaving his address, Wen Liang left and waited for a phone call.

In addition to these emergency supplies, there is also food and water, which requires going to a large shopping mall.

Compared to the tools, the food and water costs were not that much, but a glance at the wallet showed that it was almost empty.

"Fuck! (a plant)"

"What a black-hearted capitalist!"
