I can travel to the past and the future

"Brother Zhou? You really want to pursue Yan Baobao? She's going to Galaxy University soon!"

"So what? As long as I make significant contributions, add to my achievements over the years, and use my connections to voluntarily lower my salary, I can also apply to go to the main city. It's just that the cost will be high."

"That's what they say, but it's really difficult. Even the captain struggles to achieve it, so the ordinary team members shouldn't even think about it." The speaker was a young man with dreadlocks. "Even if we went, we'd just be the bottom of the class, no future there, brother."

"That's precisely why we have to try. You're right, we outsiders, even if we risk our lives to get to the top, we'll still be nobody. But damn it, is this the head of the phoenix? Is this where the future lies?"

At this moment, Zhou Ye stood by the street railing, smoking in the night rain.

He exhaled industrial white smoke, the embers of his cigarette reflecting the ambition in his eyes: "But thankfully, now I have a stepping stone. Her younger brother, Qiao Yuan, is quite good; he can help me get to the main city!"

"You're not trying to set a trap, are you?"

"Huh? I didn't say that." Zhou Ye shrugged expressionlessly. "I'm a gentleman."

……

Moonlit Community, Room 4912.

Qiao Yuan was wearing a transparent breathing mask, enjoying the fresh air. His chest rose and fell rhythmically, feeling very comfortable.

However, simply breathing fresh air is not enough; you also need to take impurity filtering agents.

Fresh air is about regularly cleaning your lungs, and by having your brain remember the sensations, filter medication can truly detoxify. It's also more expensive, costing 1500 per dose, and needs to be taken frequently.

In the past, he would feel genuinely envious whenever he thought about the people in the main city who could enjoy fresh air at any time.

There are seventeen days left. Once I earn the last 60,000 yuan, I can go to Galaxy University in the third main city to report for duty.

Qiao Yuan gradually closed his eyes, spending half an hour in the rain to cleanse his lungs. Just as he was about to take a shower, a sound came from the entrance hall.

"I'm back," Yan Baobao said, taking off her black Mary Jane shoes and looking over. "Have you had some fresh air? You do look better."

Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, I found a gold bracelet on my way back today. I pawned it for a thousand yuan. It seems that God still loves me."

"So lucky?" Yan Baobao's beautiful, clear eyes lit up slightly, then she bit her red lips haughtily and said, "Then don't I love you?"

"Ahem," Qiao Yuan said shyly, "I can feel my sister's love all the time."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Yan Baobao is usually aloof and cold outside, like an iceberg, but at home she has no boundaries at all, and things have become more and more ambiguous in recent years.

Sigh, he spoils her too much.

"Hey, do you know about the class reunion?" Qiao Yuan said, turning on the water heater.

"I know, I'm the class monitor, after all," Yan Baobao said, her red lips slightly pursed, a bright and cheerful smile on her face. "Are you going?"

Qiao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."

"Is this right?" Yan Baobao was slightly surprised. "Huh? You're actually interested in this kind of occasion?"

"Haha, I didn't want to go at first, but Hu Tu was so enthusiastic, I knew the baby wasn't interested."

Yan Baobao listened, removed the silver longsword from her waist, and unfastened her black mecha combat suit, revealing her stunning figure. She skillfully opened the refrigerator, licked her lips, and took out a bright red, chilled watermelon: "I'm really not interested, but do you want me to go?"

"I don't want to," Qiao Yuan shook his head slightly.

Yan Baobao sat down on the old sofa, holding a watermelon, and scooped out a spoonful: "Why?"

"Because I don't want to force the baby to do something he doesn't like," Qiao Yuan added with a smile, "but I know the baby wants to be with me."

"Hmph! You're so glib, Qiao Yuan, who taught you that?" Yan Baobao pouted and hmphed.

"We're clearly on the same wavelength, yet you call me greasy. Ugh, this is awful," Qiao Yuan shrugged slightly, turned around, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Yan Baobao, sitting on the living room sofa, opened her rosy lips, hesitated as if to speak, then smiled unconsciously, her face radiating a faint happiness.

Before I knew it, it was 2 a.m.

The white fog outside the window grew thicker and thicker, splashing like ink among the floating buildings, some thin and some thick, like a layered ink painting.

After Qiao Yuan finished washing up and dried his hair, he went to his room, while Bao Bao followed him to take a bath.

"Baby, I'm going to sleep now."

"Okay, go to sleep." Yan Baobao's voice came from the bathroom, with a hint of concern and urging.

Qiao Yuan looked at his long-unseen bedroom and the colorful hero posters on the wall, yawned, and turned off the light.

I haven't had a good night's sleep in almost ten days. Hu Tu was right when he said that the monitoring room is definitely not a place for humans. If it weren't for my physical condition, I would have died of exhaustion long ago.

But in the past, in order to make money, there was no other choice but to roll around like crazy.

A level 4.8 physique may seem ordinary, but that's only compared to a baby. Most people only have a level 2-3 physique, a slightly better one can reach level 4, and an even better one can reach level 5, which is already very strong outside the city.

However, compared to the main city, it is indeed far from enough. It is said that secondary ascensions are everywhere there, with a large number of people having a physique of level 10 or 12, and many ascensionists having a physique of level 30 or 40.

It is a paradise for the strong, a place where geniuses emerge in great numbers and outstanding individuals gather. For over nine hundred years, it has been the site of countless legends and miracles, especially Galaxy University.

His longing for the main city and university is incredibly strong right now! It'll be soon, all he needs is money.

Time flew by and it was already afternoon.

When I woke up, Yan Baobao had already left. Yu Jin was still very busy, but I left him a message.

After the bedside sensor detected him getting up, a light blue holographic projection of Yan Bao appeared, gesturing at him and saying, "Remember to eat. There's a cake I made in the fridge. If you're free tonight, play games with me, Yuan."

Qiao Yuan smiled, raised his hand, touched the baby's holographic projection, and said "okay" in response via voice.

This is a projection bound by biological DNA codes, and correspondingly, it can respond in real time.

The era of typing and paper is long gone. The moment he speaks and touches the screen, a voice message pops up on Yan Baobao's phone. Everything is now interconnected.

Now, besides his small goal of 60,000 yuan, he is more eager to upgrade his physique to level 5 as soon as possible, carry out a secondary sublimation, and open up the future timeline. Rather than the fixed fate of the past, he wants to see the variables of the future.

So, let's order a nutritious meal first!

Oh right, I also need to buy the impurity filtering medicine; it's good to improve my physical condition as soon as possible.

He ordered the filter and nutritional meal, then got up, went to the living room, opened the refrigerator, and took out the cheesecake that Yan Baobao had made. It smelled delicious.

My baby is actually completely clueless about cooking, but she occasionally gets the urge to make cakes, desserts, and pizzas, and she does them quite well.

After washing up, he looked in the mirror at his handsome face, pale yellow skin, but slightly thin physique, and felt an even stronger desire for self-improvement.

This is actually the norm. Very few students can reach the first level of advancement so easily, like the baby. Most high school students are at the second level of advancement. They need to enter university to advance to the first level. High school is just the foundation.

But in order to unlock the future timeline, this last 0.2 of physical constitution needs to be accelerated.

There's no particular reason or explanation; it's just pure curiosity, interest, and an eagerness to foresee the future, seize opportunities, and do whatever one wants.

He's started eating the cakes his baby makes now; they melt in his mouth, are fragrant and sweet, and it's definitely more comfortable at home.

Five minutes later, a spherical white drone flew to the balcony, bringing with it the impurity filter and nutritional meal.

Qiao Yuan walked over in slippers and casually gave it a five-star review.

A 100ml bottle of amber-colored medicine, for oral administration, produced by Flounder Company, one of the top ten interstellar giants in the Apocalypse Federation, with top-tier biotechnology.

From inexpensive mainland Chinese goods to divine essence, they have it all.

After drinking this impurity-filtering medicine, the body will detoxify itself through defecation, which will cause a slight fever.

The nutritious meals are from the convenience store downstairs, costing over 100 yuan a serving, which is ten times the price of a regular bento box. If you eat them every day, it will cost 10,000 yuan a month, which is completely unaffordable for most families.

However, if the supply is affordable, and combined with the Monkey God Stance Breathing Method taught by high school professors, physical fitness will improve much faster, far exceeding that of ordinary people.

High school classmates like Jiang Qi, class representative Qin Xue, Charles, and Hu Tu either come from wealthy families and are provided with nutritious meals and fresh air every day, or they are exceptionally gifted and can keep up with the pace even without nutritious meals.

Alternatively, it can be done through a loan.

He was actually quite good. He had consumed a lot of martial arts potions that the baby bought and had also taken out a loan of 100,000 yuan. However, his talent was average and his progress was always relatively slow. Fortunately, he managed to succeed despite all the setbacks.

He opened his nutritional meal and started eating. He glanced at the time; it was only four in the afternoon. He would practice the Ape God Stance after finishing his meal so he could advance to level five as soon as possible.

"I remember there was a bald old man in the first unit who collected scrap every day, but he used his house entirely as a warehouse. It doesn't seem right to use it to store scrap, does it?"

"The black market across from Moonlit Community, those guys often clash over goods and customers."

"And I remember there's an octagon boxing match in the Merlin Department Store area! You can place bets!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. For example, in this boxing match, there are many fixed fights. Even if the future timeline hasn't been activated yet, he can still find out who wins and who loses just by relying on the past timeline.

So, as long as you place a few small bets and get a share of the profits from the big boss, you can make a fortune without anyone knowing!

Betting too much will attract attention. Anyway, he enters twice a day now, frequently making small profits, accumulating them little by little, which is the best strategy.

But he only has two chances a day, and it's impossible for him to throw every single match. It's still unreliable. If we could travel to the future timeline now, then it would be 100% certain.

Therefore, obtaining a Level 5 physique is a must!

But even the most potent potion requires money; it's true that even a hero can be brought down by a lack of funds.

As for the lottery, well, he just checked and found that if he wanted to buy all the tickets for a single draw, he would need at least tens of millions. There's no way around it.

Even if the prize money is hundreds of millions, he would need tens of millions in capital, so it's out of the question.

It is said that in ancient times, lotteries offered two betting methods: self-selection and machine selection. However, as artificial intelligence reached a singularity, many organizations used AI to predict the winning lottery numbers, which angered the major lottery companies. Ultimately, a federal law was passed to abolish the self-selection method, leaving only machine selection.

As the saying goes, "The predecessors cut down trees, and the successors get rained on."

At this moment, Qiao Yuan assumed the stance of the Ape God Stance. He bent his left leg, pointed his toes, leaned his upper body to the side, raised his left hand with his elbow bent, raised his right arm behind him, and looked straight up, like gazing at the moon. This posture comes from the "Gazing at the Moon Balance" in ancient martial arts.

According to my high school teacher, one needs to close their eyes and visualize the appearance of the ape god in their mind, repeatedly depicting its expression, sensing the spiritual atoms between heaven and earth, forming a great cycle of energy that blends with heaven and earth, comprehending its true meaning of stillness like a rock and movement like lightning, and reaching the state of combining movement and stillness.

The purpose is to lay the foundation for sublimation.

The so-called spiritual atoms are changes that occur after the invasion of the multiverse, such as the entirely new spiritual helium-6.

Just like water, which can drown people but is also the source of life, spiritual atoms are the same; they can lead to invasions from other universes, or they can be transformed into our own.

Standing meditation is not only used to improve physical fitness, but it will also be used for further spiritual development.

His current maximum is ten major cycles, and reaching twelve major cycles would be considered a perfect completion.

For ordinary people, maintaining this cycle for three or four times is already the limit.

Time flew by and it was already evening.

Four hours later, Qiao Yuan gradually opened his eyes and stopped breathing slightly.

[Constitution +0.02.]

"Something seems different?"

He was a bit strange. He usually only practiced for 0.01 or even 0.005 a day, but now his training volume had doubled and increased at an unbelievable speed.

If I keep training hard and eating nutritious meals, I feel like I can achieve a breakthrough in five or six days at most.

Could it be related to this Eternal Great Luo?

maybe.

He wiped away his sweat with a radiant smile, in high spirits; it was time to get to work and make some money.
