Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Receiving Sanjay's call, Hou Chang felt both happy and worried. She was happy that Sanjay had finally found her. After her memories of the good old days were shattered by reality, Hou Chang had gradually come to terms with her current situation and had to work tirelessly to find a job with a slightly higher income. However, after trying several jobs, whether it was a regional courier or a supermarket cashier, they all offered heavy workloads for meager pay. Later, she heard from some coworkers that a man named Sanjay had a lot of resources and good jobs, and that if she could get his help, she would get better pay. So, through a recommendation, she met Sanjay, but she hadn't heard from him since. She thought she had been forgotten, but then opportunity finally came knocking.

But she was also a little worried. After all, Sanjay asked her to go to the Silver Gate on the White River right now, and that place was not close...

However, after taking a look at the utility bill on the table and thinking about her son who was in school, she gritted her teeth and stood up immediately.

Although the straight-line distance from her residence to the Silver Gate wasn't far, actually walking there felt like trekking through mountains and rivers. When Hou Chang arrived breathlessly at the Silver Gate, he saw seven or eight other people standing besides Sanjay. One of them was a tall, thin man whose feet were actually suspended in the air!

Seeing Hou Chang finally arrive, Sanjay simply greeted him and then looked at Hei Qian and Hong Sa with a flattering look on his face: "Gentlemen, the five people I found are all here. Let them start the experiment. I guarantee that I can meet your requirements."

When Hou Chang heard the word "experiment", he was stunned and looked around at the people around him.

The remaining four people happened to be two men and two women. Judging from their ages, there seemed to be people of all ages. The youngest girl was not even twenty years old.

Their expressions were also a little surprised. Obviously, like her, they didn't know what they were here for. They just came because it was Sanjay who informed them, and this fat black man had a reputation for providing high-paying jobs.

However, "experimentation" doesn't sound like a particularly common job.

"Are we going to conduct experiments here? But I don't see any instruments or equipment..." Hou Chang thought to himself.

At this time, the tall and thin man floating in the air began to speak: "Hello, warriors, let me introduce myself first. My name is Hydrogen Sa, and I come from Taibai Star in the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall structure. It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of me, just know that I am from the Hydrogen Clan. We are good friends with the Helium Clan, and naturally we have full goodwill towards you. Therefore, in our important business dealings with the Helium Clan, we have also considered how to include you, so that we can share the benefits together..."

Hydrogen Sa was very articulate and polite. After introducing the situation, he even pushed out Hei Qian, who was standing beside him, to introduce him to Hou Chang and the others. In comparison, Hei Qian was much more awkward and didn't say anything long. He simply added, "Everyone, feel free to participate in the experiment. We won't treat you unfairly."

After listening to the two's speeches, Sanjay's face flushed with excitement. He seemed to have recovered from his previous fatigue. He puffed out his slightly bulging belly and said to Hou Chang and the other five, "Did you hear that? This event you're about to participate in is used to support a very important business between the Hydrogen and Helium tribes. The two leaders have already made it very clear. The reward is substantial!"

Compared to the other four people's excited eyes, Hou Chang, though also feeling excited, was still nervous. "Their introduction just now only said that we need to 'participate in the experiment,' but they didn't explain how to participate specifically. And that person called Hydrogen Sa even called us 'warriors.' Is there any danger? Otherwise, why would they give us a share of the money?"

Thinking of this, she mustered up the courage to ask, "How exactly do we participate in the experiment?"

Sanjay chuckled, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious... Take your time. But since you asked this question, it means you really want to do this. With this prerequisite, everything is easy to discuss!"

"Then tell me." Hou Chang thought to himself, "How could I not be anxious? You called us all the way here."

At this time, Sanjay looked at Hei Qian and Hydron Sa, his eyes seemed to ask: "Can we tell them the details now?"

Hydrogen Sa shook his head: "They need to sign a confidentiality agreement first. Our matter needs to be kept extremely confidential."

Sanjay was stunned. “Now?”

"Of course. What else could you do? You promised to call them over for an on-site test to see the results. Only after we have witnessed it on-site will we decide to give you this opportunity."

"Yes......"

However, he had nothing prepared at the moment, so where could he get a confidentiality agreement? He could only ask his subordinates to print it out and send it directly to him. However, this process would take quite some time, and who knew what might happen during the waiting period...

However, Sanjay had no better solution and had to bite the bullet and call his men.

"Yes, yes, print five copies of the confidentiality agreement and send them immediately to the Silver Gate on the White River!"

After finishing the call, he smiled and said, "Two leaders, can we wait a moment?"

"can."

Hydronza crossed his arms over his chest.

Hou Chang took the opportunity to chat with the others, only to discover that they all came from diverse backgrounds. The older, more refined-looking middle-aged man was actually a faculty member at Kunlun University. Hou Chang felt a profound shock. The disparity between reality and her memories was somewhat understandable—after all, in her memories, she had been a housewife for years, and returning to society hadn't been easy to find a long-term, well-paying job. Furthermore, her husband in that memory was completely unreliable, and she had no friends or connections to help her. But this university professor was also relying on part-time work to make money? What was his motivation?

The middle-aged man sighed. "You don't know, but our school's salaries are all funded by grants and donations. However, for some reason, the amount of both has plummeted recently. We have no choice but to earn extra income... Some female colleagues have even resorted to selling their bodies..."

Hou Chang was dumbfounded.

She felt more and more that the experiment she was about to participate in was not that simple.
