Planeswalker My Plane War
Chapter 63 The Return
Chapter 63 The Return
When I opened my eyes again, it was Earth again.
The curtains were not drawn last night, so the sun shone into the house without hesitation from the window, reminding Zhang Cheng that it was another bright morning.
Zhang Cheng got up and took a moment to calm his mind.There seems to be a certain difference in the back and forth between the two worlds.It seems a little more human to travel across the earth, allowing you to procrastinate a little, more akin to normal sleep.Returning from the Quanrong world is very compulsive, and you can't tolerate any resistance at all, and you will be pulled back directly.
He turned the head of the bed, looked around, and quickly found a Wenzhu.
Yes, only one, by his pillow.With great patience and enthusiasm, Zhang Cheng carefully searched all the corners, and finally determined that there was only one Wenzhu this time.
Sure enough.Zhang Cheng suddenly realized that this Wenzhu should be the reward of the mission.On the task panel, there are two special tasks.As mentioned earlier, it is written in dark red text on the taskbar, which is very different from other tasks.One of the tasks is called "survival", and the remarks are very simple, just three words "survive".Another task is called "Exploration", and the note is also very simple "Find the truth of the world".
Zhang Cheng's two previous returns were all because of reading a book.That time in the dungeon was okay, after all, it was impossible to determine the time in that kind of place where the sun did not see the sun, and it was not clear whether it was day or night when I slept.But that time in his mansion, it was clear that it was during the day.
Therefore, Zhang Cheng has reason to believe that the last two times his soul transmigrated back, not "time is up", but for another reason.As for this reason, it should be these two tasks.
Before he came back, he read some books by accident.And the content of these books is all about the myth of the origin of the world and so on.This should be the completion of the "exploration", so when the soul comes back, you can get multiple beads.And this time, Zhang Cheng obviously only completed "survive", and he only got one Wenzhu when he came back.
Wu Lan told him a lot, but it was still not enough.There are so many things you can only find out on your own.
The ringtone of the mobile phone directly broke Zhang Cheng's train of thought.
"Brother," came the colleague's voice on the phone. "The old thing has already been reported to the personnel side. You may be in big trouble. I can't help you this time."
I don't know if it was because the other party called secretly, but after saying this, the other party just hung up the phone.
Only then did Zhang Cheng remember the company's affairs.
He has entrusted colleagues to ask for leave many times before.The old bastard had such a bad relationship with him that he would never let go of the opportunity to stumble upon him.So it is a leave of absence, but in the end it is estimated that it will become an absenteeism under the operation of the old bastard.That is to say, at this moment, Zhang Cheng is not asking for a few days off, but "absenteeism" continuously. According to the company's attendance system, not to mention bonuses, it is estimated that even his salary has been deducted a lot.
It is said that there is such a bad thing about going back and forth. Once you come back, it is like a lifetime. Time and memory are distorted. How can you still think about going to work?
Of course, having said that, it was originally a very important matter for Zhang Cheng, even a major crisis, but now it feels light and light, and there is no pressure at all.
What if it was reported to the personnel?After all, the company's last resort is to fire, and it's impossible to kill people. What's there to be afraid of?And the job, to be honest, had limited appeal to him.Not to mention that damn old bastard, he's not high just in terms of income - he's just a junior in the company, and that's what his annual salary is.If nothing else, the Wenzhu by his side can be worth more than one year's income.
Now he can fully understand what "Nameless", that is, Chen Wenwen's elder brother, does.As long as he survived in that world, he would be able to get a Wenzhu when his soul wears back.And a Wenzhu, at least 10,000+.
As Wu Lan once said, although it is essentially cannon fodder, it can also be understood as a mercenary.Although mercenary is a dangerous profession that requires people to hang their heads on the belts of their pants, it is indeed a high-paying profession.As we all know, at least in the current earth, there is no shortage of people in the mercenary industry.Many veterans have volunteered to join the line.
This may explain why most of the traversers finally accepted their fate, instead of coming to a "death of time, and you will die together".Because to put it bluntly, these traversers or cannon fodder for plane wars, the risks and benefits are roughly equal.
Zhang Cheng replied absentmindedly, and then sorted out his Wenzhu.Including this new one, he has a total of twelve.This is a good auspicious number, Zhang Cheng thought so, twelve astrological signs, twelve zodiac signs are twelve.
It's a pity that one was stolen by the "nemesis", otherwise it would be the Thirteen Taibao.
What Wenzhu should do for the time being is not a problem.Zhang Cheng has already thought it over, he doesn't have any capital at all now.Wu Lan and Lao Liu can use Wenzhu to play futures because they can make up 4000 million capital.But he doesn't have the capital now, so he can only and must exchange some money first.
Moreover, it can be seen from a small amount of clues that playing futures is not what two people are interested in.It is a choice made by two people after repeated weighing and even trying.In other words, this is the use of Manju to maximize its value under the existing conditions.
Of course, this thing is too amazing and unbelievable, there must be more and more effective uses.But if you want to experiment with better uses, the price is really not small.Because once it fails, that is, the content is misinterpreted (just want to say the same, you want 100 million yuan, but you get a piece of waste paper with "100 million yuan"), it is tantamount to a big loss.
In short, the resources are limited at the moment, and there is no room for squandering.Zhang Cheng thought about this question, but the phone rang again.
"Zhang Cheng, are you still alive!" On the other side of the phone, Lao Liu's laughter came.
"It's okay." Zhang Cheng replied. "Looks like you're fine too."
It seems that there is a tradition of people who have crossed over to communicate with each other by telephone - but this is easy to understand.After all, being in another world is not a peaceful mess, but struggling to survive in a turbulent and wild age. .
"Murlocs have an advantage." Old Liu smiled proudly this time, obviously he confirmed that his living conditions were decent.
According to the last chat, Lao Liu should have transmigrated into a murloc, and now he lives alone in an unmanned sea area.If it's just for survival, I have to say that this is a good choice.After all, as a murloc, the ability to survive in the wild is much higher than that of humans, and the sea is also safer than the land, and there are almost no strong enemies.There is no shortage of food and water.
However, Zhang Cheng still felt that Lao Liu's survival strategy was too passive.Don't look away from the storm, but there is no chance to become stronger.They are all people with experience points system, killing monsters and upgrading is the kingly way.
"Do you have any thoughts on what I mentioned last time?" Inexplicably, Lao Liu's voice sounded condescending excitement.
What Lao Liu said should be the matter mentioned in the last meeting, about wanting to buy Zhang Cheng's Wenzhu.The purchase price of Wenzhu on the forum is 200 yuan, but the last time Lao Liu and Wu Lan used about [-] pieces of Wenzhu, the converted price was about [-] million yuan, and the exchange was tens of millions of income.
This is ten times the return, and it is an absolute good deal. Not to mention ordinary people, even profiteers will be tempted, so it is reasonable for Lao Liu to want to buy it.
Thinking of this, I instinctively feel reluctant.But reason told Zhang Cheng that it was useless to be reluctant.Because he doesn't have the ability to realize Manzhu.And Lao Liu has it.Therefore, his current loss is an inevitable stage and cannot be skipped.This is like the same bank loan. It is extremely difficult for the poor to apply for it, while the rich only need to fill in the application form at will to get it.Since you can't skip it, it's better to maintain a good attitude.
"Okay." Zhang Cheng agreed.The old Liu Daxi on the other side of the phone agreed to meet at a well-known restaurant in Dongzhou at noon.Meet and have a meal, it is a celebration of living again, and the transaction is completed by the way.
After putting down the phone, Zhang Cheng hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go to the company.
According to the earth's time, in fact, he didn't take much time off, which is a very common level of personal leave.But if the time spent in another world is combined, it will be quite a long time.At least when Zhang Cheng walked into the company's door, he felt a sense of vicissitudes.
He didn't set the alarm clock today, and slept until he woke up naturally. At this time, he was naturally late, so he directly avoided the trouble of punching in.
Soon, he came to the outside of his office, and through the window, he could see the new manager patrolling the office.
If there is anyone who hates Zhang Cheng the most, then the first is which old bastard, and the second is this manager.This manager was airborne recently, perhaps because of the mentality of "three fires when a new official takes office". He has been trying hard to find fault among his employees, saying that no mistakes are small mistakes, and small mistakes are big mistakes, just casually. Just train people, in short, the posture is to find someone who does not open his eyes to kill the chickens and warn the monkeys, so as to establish his own authority.So everyone was careful, for fear of being caught.
Of course everyone hates this kind of person.
However, for a grass-roots employee like Zhang Cheng, it is usually "the county official is worse than the current one." After all, my boss's boss is separated from me by a layer.That's probably why the old bastard is still the most hated person, topping the hatred score.
But when he saw this manager, Zhang Chengcheng fully understood what he was going to face.Because normally, he won't be here for so long.That means someone should have notified him of the HR department.
If it develops according to normal logic, Zhang Cheng will eventually be dismissed, and the old bastard will also be punished for lax rule.
For the old bastard, the result was something he was happy to accept.Because he also hates this irritable and restless subordinate who refuses to obediently suffer and swallow his grievances, but instead jumps out all day to make trouble.
He only received a trivial reprimand, while Zhang Cheng directly lost his job.It is clear which of the two is more important than the other.Not only that, if he uses some news channels to declare Zhang Cheng's affairs.So basically, other companies in the entire Dongzhou City will not consider Zhang Cheng when recruiting.In other words, either Zhang Cheng changed his career, or he had to start over in another city.In short, he will have enough trouble.
That's why he took the initiative to report this unfavorable news to the personnel department.
Staff, large and small, held their breaths, conscientiously doing the work at hand or pretending to be serious about the work at hand.
If it was in the past, Zhang Cheng's first thought was to compromise - honestly admit his mistakes and limit his losses to the level of deductions from wages and bonuses.Deductions are bad, but better than outright unemployment.
But now, this option has been canceled directly.
In fact, there are many broken things in this type of workplace, most of which have to be swallowed up, because the root cause is that once things become big, although your boss will indeed be unlucky, so will you.Not only that, but your losses are usually greater than your boss's.Killing [-] enemies and losing [-] is something that the wise do not do.
But on the other hand, if you really don't care about anything, almost everyone can make a big difference.
The manager walked around the office for a long time before leaving.After he left, Zhang Chengcai entered the office, and several colleagues immediately greeted him.
"Zhang Cheng, you're in trouble now." A colleague who doesn't usually get along well with each other smiled a little gloating. "The manager just came to find you, you are not... absenteeism should be confirmed."
Zhang Cheng ignored it.There are many people who fall into the trap, and it is strange to say that Zhang Cheng clearly has no conflict with other people.But in fact, there are a few people who don't like Zhang Cheng.It should be noted that this is not the old bastard's popularity, it is more likely to be that kind of instinctive tendencies, or some kind of special psychology that is indescribable: I admit that I have suffered losses, how dare you object?
Fortunately, Zhang Cheng is not a special case. There are many people who have been cheated by the old bastard, so more people are willing to stand on Zhang Cheng's side.Although he won't blatantly gang up against the supervisor, it's not a problem to send a letter or something privately.
"Zhang Cheng, it's hard to do now," said a colleague next to him.His name is Sun Fei, he gets along well with Zhang Cheng, and is a person who is willing to help.Zhang Cheng asked him for leave before.Although it was said that things turned out like this in the end, it was not Fei's fault. Zhang Cheng of course understood that the old bastard was behind it - as long as the supervisor didn't approve it, it would be meaningless to ask for leave.However, his temperament is relatively soft, and he can be regarded as the type whose edges and corners are smoothed by the workplace.So although he hates the old bastard, he won't come out against it.
"Is Xu Wenjie here?" Zhang Cheng asked.
"It should be going to the toilet." Fei curled his lips and gestured towards the toilet.
Zhang Cheng already knew that he couldn't do it any more. The fault-finding manager came over to look for him, and the matter was already settled. If he didn't leave, others would ask him to leave.And this company has nothing to linger on. He stayed here and hasn't left because of the issue of his job.If the problem of eating was solved, he would have left long ago. Who would be willing to work with such a boss who deceived his subordinates and worked hard.A civilized urbanite, a junior executive of a company, and someone with modern education is not as good as a doctor Kunwu in a reckless society!
