Chapter 2 Traveling Everyday
Truman began to enter this strange time-traveling state three months ago.

I don't know why.

Travel through 23 hours every day and return to 1 hour.

This kind of time travel is not soul time travel but body time travel. That is to say, the Truman on the earth will disappear with a 'swish' during the period from 1:12 am to [-]:[-] midnight every day.

From 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the morning, return on time with a 'whoosh'.

There is no limit to the environment, any location, and any conditions. In the process of traveling through or returning at the same time, except for Truman himself, no object can follow, that is to say, coming and going naked, which is very scary.

Truman was troubled by this time travel, the world over there was very mysterious.

When he first traveled through, Truman felt that it was an industrial society similar to Earth, after all, he spoke the same language and had a similar social form.

As a result, Truman came into contact with the mysterious workshop, only to discover that there is a power beyond human cognition in the world there.

"One for one, one for two, two for one, three for three..."

Truman began to memorize the nine-nine multiplication table facing the computer screen.

At the same time, Guo Degang's cross talk was playing on the computer screen.

The best way to recover 'share' is through intellectual logic or emotional sublimation.

That is to be happy and rational.

At the same time, Truman discovered that after returning to the earth, the "share" recovered very quickly. It seems that the world has a background color of despair and depression, so as long as you travel through the past, you will fall into this background color...

"Or something like world consciousness?" Truman wondered, "That world is crazy and depressive, while the earth is logical and normal."

Truman has been able to think normally, and the 'share' is almost full. Looking at the time, it takes half an hour. According to Anton's estimate, it will take three days for Truman to recover all the 'share', which is equivalent to a hundred times the speed of that world.

"Such cheats can only be said to be better than nothing."

Truman muttered bitterly, and then checked the indoor monitoring according to the procedure. As usual, he disappeared for 23 hours, and then suddenly appeared naked.

Looking at the phone again, there were missed calls from his father, and several courier calls. Of course, Truman couldn't answer these calls.

Because this time travel is equivalent to a disaster, Truman couldn’t live a normal life at all. He quit his original job and moved to the suburbs of the city where the cost of living is very low. He lied to his family that he had found a new job. Due to the confidentiality of the job, there was no way. answer the phone.

The difficulty of this process is hard to describe in words, after all, Truman can only stay on the earth for one hour a day.

"Are you going to build an atomic bomb?"

Facing his father's question, Truman couldn't answer at all, and he was not a professional in this field either.

In short, although it was temporarily fooled, but this "temporary", it has been "temporarily" for three months, and my father was obviously suspicious, and sent a text message saying that he wanted to see what Truman was doing.

Truman replied with a message, "Don't come because you are busy with work", but there is a high probability that it cannot be stopped. As for what to do next, Truman can only be an ostrich first.

Then, Truman went out to pick up a few couriers. After opening them, he took out a bottle of medicine, a kind of nerve-stimulating medicine, prescription-type, which was difficult to get.

"Hope it works."

This is one of the strategies Truman uses to deal with the sinister situation in the world over there.

In the past three months, Truman has tested that nothing can be brought to that world, even if XZ is put in the body, it will fall out.

"But what if the drug is acting on my body?"

It's worth testing it out.

At this point, 40 minutes have passed.

20 minutes left.

Truman started his daily routine work, recording his latest experience and next work and experiment plan in a notepad.

From entering this strange time travel, from fear to confusion to anger to acceptance of reality, Truman has only one thought left in the end: come here, try to live as much as possible.

To live you have to understand it.

It refers to that world, and it also refers to this time travel.

Since that world has a magical power system, it is very likely that a certain coordinate in that power system caused Truman to travel through.

Just find it or he or he and maybe get rid of this disaster.

To this end, Truman listed some experimental plans and urgent matters.

For example, the actual plan includes 'going to other latitudes of the earth to test whether the time of crossing is constant'.

The principle of this experiment is that the zero point of each time zone on the earth is different.

If Truman only crosses at one o'clock in the morning, then Truman keeps in the time zone between zero o'clock and one o'clock, that is, running after the sun, so there is no need to cross it?
Of course, due to limited economic strength, this experiment cannot be completed for the time being.

Same as other experiments.

Even this bottle of medicine has already cost Truman a lot of money, making his bank card numbers, which were not much at all, dwindle rapidly again.

Truman, like many young people, has no savings and no reason to ask his family for money, so the biggest problem right now is that he is about to run out of money to make ends meet.

"The first thing to do is to make money..."

Truman wrote this line on the notepad.

He on earth needs to make money.

This is consistent with Truman's goal in that world.

How do you make money?

"extraordinary."

Truman wrote two more words.

Mystical power.

If it can be brought back to Earth.

In theory, you should be able to make money.

During the past three months, Truman learned about the existence of the "extraordinary power system" in that world through the knowledge of the owner of the workshop, especially through Anton's encouragement.

"Soul refiner."

These three words are Anton's longing description when he talked about the master of the workshop.

'Soul Refining Master' is a 'sequence', and it is a high-level sequence, while Anton hopes to be promoted to a 'sequence' that is not so high-level through the favor of the workshop master.

"Secret medicine and ritual."

This is a must for promotion 'sequence'.

Truman drew two big question marks on 'secret medicine' and 'ceremony' respectively.

Only through words, he can understand that the 'secret medicine' is used for eating, and the 'ceremony' is used for doing, but what it is, he can't understand.

"Those 'mysterious texts' that require consumption of 'shares' to understand are probably related to 'secret medicines' or 'rituals'?"

Truman made the following guess, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the owner of the workshop would spend a lot of money to open the workshop.

But the mysterious words Anton gave to Truman are all fragmented and cannot be combined. This is also a means of preventing knowledge from leaking out.

"With more intellectual support, I should be able to understand more."

Truman looked at the fragmentary words on his notepad.

This is all he has gained in that world for three months. Limited by his experience and knowledge system, he still doesn't have a complete understanding of that world.

If there is an organization, or the support of a national force, obviously he will get more.

"But it's also more dangerous."

Truman was talking to himself. At this time, the countdown had reached 59 minutes and 59 seconds. He closed his eyes and waited for another time travel.

　Opening a new book~ It’s been a long, long time~ I’ve been preparing for so long, I hope this time I will bring you a different surprise!
