Chapter 8 Going Back in 500 Years

"What happened?" Laura was a little confused.

"Manfred is dead." Zhao Ming said, putting a pocket watch into Laura's hand. "This is your father's pocket watch. Manfred killed him."

Laura opened her pocket watch, and there was a faded photo inside. The person in the photo was exactly what Laura looked like when she was a child.

Time goes back to two minutes ago. When Laura grabbed the triangular key, Manfred fell downwards and returned to reality first.

However, Zhao Ming had already activated the "Guidance Technique" to make the other mercenaries believe that the place would collapse soon, and they had to get out first to escape.

After the mercenaries left, Zhao Ming quietly hid behind a rock, took out the prepared pistol from his backpack, and got ready to shoot.

As soon as Manfred appeared, before he could see his surroundings clearly, he was beaten into pieces by Zhao Ming, and the pocket watch he had snatched from Laura's father was also searched out by Zhao Ming.

"There's only one thing left now." Laura put away her pocket watch, pulled out her pistol, and shot the triangular key suspended on one side.

"Space-time energy has been detected and is being absorbed." The system's voice sounded as expected, and all the silver energy that was supposed to be scattered in all directions entered Zhao Ming's body.

"Absorption completed, reward 500 energy points and 6 attribute points."

"What's going on?" Laura couldn't help but ask when she saw this scene.

After the key was blown, the entire cave began to shake violently and looked like it was about to collapse. It was time to leave.

"This is not the place to talk. I will tell you when I get back. Please believe me. Get out of here now, it's going to collapse." Zhao Ming pulled Laura and ran towards the exit.

The 6 attribute points just now were evenly distributed by Zhao Ming to physique, strength and agility. This was a point-adding plan that had been thought up before, because Zhao Ming had asked the system and found that there was no matching physique and there was an upper limit for mental attributes.

Moreover, mental skills cannot exert their full power.

This is a very simple barrel principle, and Zhao Ming still understands it.

The cave is shaking more and more violently, and the ice picks on the top are falling down like rain. If you are not careful, you will string someone into a candied haws. The situation is very critical.

"Damn, it's too late." Laura shouted breathlessly as she ran.

"Not always."

At the critical moment, Zhao Ming no longer hid his clumsiness and grabbed Laura who was running beside him. His leg muscles exploded with superhuman strength, pushing the two of them to run forward quickly.

Laura exclaimed, and saw Zhao Ming hugging herself to flexibly avoid the falling ice picks that were falling more and more densely, and rushed towards the entrance of the cave at an inhuman speed. Her eyes were filled with brilliance, and she reached out to hug Zhao Ming's neck.

Let him take him to escape.

Back at the manor, Zhao Ming was pushed into the room by Laura who couldn't wait.

"Can you tell me the truth now?" Laura asked impatiently.

"So, what do you want to know?" Zhao Ming replied calmly.

"When I was in the Ten Thousand Shadows Cave, I blew up the key, and all the contents inside poured into your body. What happened?"

The time on the road was not short, and Zhao Ming had already thought of his words.

"Oh, well, the technique I practice can absorb the energy inside the key. Based on the principle of not wasting it, after you destroy the key, I will absorb the energy inside."

"What technique is so powerful?"

"I'm sorry, this is a secret of my sect and cannot be revealed casually."

"Okay, then let me ask you again, when you escaped from the Cave of Ten Thousand Shadows, why did you suddenly become so powerful, able to flexibly avoid ice picks falling everywhere while holding a person in your arms, and still be so fast?"

Zhao Ming shrugged and pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's very simple, because my previous skills have reached a bottleneck. After absorbing the energy in the key, the skills broke through and rose to a higher level, and their power naturally increased greatly."

"Oh, really? Then let me see how powerful you are now."

Laura dragged Zhao Ming to the gym to prepare for a friendly free fighting sparring session.

Laura is a rich woman who lives in a manor with more than eighty rooms of various sizes, including more than one, which really makes Zhao Ming coveted.

This room looks like the place where Laura usually does yoga. One wall is full of mirrors, and the floor is covered with thick mats, so it won't hurt if you fall.

The 6 attribute points were not added in vain. Except for the physical attributes that did not directly help the attack, the strength and agility were doubled. The effect was from being crushed by Laura to crushing Laura.

In front of Zhao Ming, Laura's movements were too slow and her strength was too weak. It felt like she was playing a game with a kindergarten kid.

"Don't fight, you are too strong." Laura stopped and rubbed her legs, "It hurts me to death."

Just now, Zhao Ming failed to control his strength and kicked Laura on the thigh, causing considerable damage.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my realm is not stable yet, so I took a heavy shot." Zhao Ming quickly stepped forward to help.

"Help me go to the bathroom, I want to take a bath." Laura did not refuse Zhao Ming's service.

Zhao Ming helped Laura into the large jacuzzi in the middle of the bathroom and put on the hot water. Laura felt so comfortable that she wanted to moan.

It’s great to have money. In the future, I will also buy a bathroom as big as this and a jacuzzi. I can take a bath when I have nothing to do. It’s so comfortable!

Seeing Zhao Ming's eyes full of envy, Laura felt a lot more balanced, and the frustration of being easily defeated by Zhao Ming disappeared.

Just as Zhao Ming was about to leave, he heard Laura say: “I see you are sweating profusely too, do you want to wash it off together?”

Sexy beauties invite you, do you still need to hesitate? This is a question that doesn’t need to be considered...

(Five thousand words are omitted here)

Early the next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and Zhao Ming was woken up by the chirping of birds outside the window.

Looking sideways, he saw that Laura was still lying next to him, not waking up. Zhao Ming also felt a little crazy when he thought of the fight between the two of them from the bathroom to the bedroom yesterday.

Fortunately, he strengthened his physique in time, otherwise it would have been too much. Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel grateful to the system.

In addition, the biggest surprise after absorbing space-time energy this time is the unlocking of portable space, another major function.

Zhao Ming can put any inanimate things into the portable space, and can also take out items from the space at any time. The items stored in the space will not deteriorate or change in temperature, which is really a magic weapon for home travel.

At present, the portable space is only about the size of two standard containers. In the future, energy points can be used to expand the capacity, which has good growth potential.

"System, has the spatial coordinate positioning been completed?" Zhao Ming asked in his heart.

"Part of it has been completed. According to preliminary estimates, this place is too far from your hometown, and more space energy needs to be absorbed to teleport back."

"Then how to absorb it?"

"I can slowly absorb it independently from the surrounding space. According to current data calculations, I can meet the transmission needs in 500 years."

500 years... Are you kidding me? Let’s not say whether I can live that long. Even if I can, by then everyone I know and everything I am familiar with will have already become history. Is there any point in going back?

unless……

Zhao Ming had a bold idea.

Yes, that’s Marvel’s Space Stone.

Since this world also has Tony Stark, maybe Captain America, then there is S.H.I.E.L.D.... Well, maybe Snake Shield, who cares, as long as they can find a way to get in touch with the Cosmic Cube, the system should be able to absorb it.

Once you have enough space energy, you can teleport away and no one can catch you.

Just do it like this. The next step is to go to New York to see if the situation is what you imagined, and then adapt accordingly.

Three days later, Zhao Ming boarded a passenger plane from London to New York, using a special certificate that Laura had found someone to apply for.

It was still early to board the plane, so Zhao Ming was carrying a small backpack with a few changes of clothes in it, walking easily.

The suitcase and clothes were gifts from Laura. After all, Zhao Ming saved Laura's life when she escaped from the Cave of Ten Thousand Shadows. Originally, Laura wanted to give Zhao Ming a large amount of money, but Zhao Ming

Not accepted.

Because in Zhao Ming's opinion, Laura could actually escape on her own, he just didn't give her this chance. The money was a bit embarrassing, but a few sets of clothes were still acceptable.

Zhao Ming couldn't say he liked Laura very much, but after playing the game and watching the movie, he was somewhat curious, and after the novelty wore off, that was it.

For Laura, Zhao Ming is just a relatively mysterious passer-by. At most, he can be regarded as a friend who has shared adventure experiences, and he will not be reluctant to part with him.

So after Laura drove Zhao Ming to the airport, the two parties shook hands and said goodbye cordially and walked away very gracefully.

There were not many people on the plane, but coincidentally, there was a young Asian girl sitting next to Zhao Ming's seat.

"Hello?" The girl took the initiative to greet Zhao Ming tentatively in Chinese.

"Hello, are you Chinese?"

Being able to see his familiar yellow-skinned compatriot again, even though he was a person from this parallel world, Zhao Ming felt a sense of intimacy, and besides, he was still a pretty cute girl.

"Yes, my name is Zhang Wen, and I went to study in the United States." Zhang Wen took the initiative to extend her hand and said.

"My name is Zhao Ming, I am also Chinese and I am traveling." Zhao Ming shook Zhang Wen's hand and replied, "I am really happy to see my compatriots in the motherland."

Zhao Ming took a flight at around 15:00 local time. Because he was flying west, although it took 8 hours to fly, he arrived at around 18:00 local time. Zhao Ming, who was taking a cross-border flight for the first time, said it was very refreshing.

Zhang Wen's personality is relatively outgoing, and it is rare to meet a Chinese, so the two chatted happily. Most of the time, Zhang Wen was talking, and Zhao Ming listened patiently. Judging from Zhang Wen's description of studying abroad in New York, this

The New York of the world is similar to what I imagined.

After getting off the plane, the two said goodbye in a friendly way. Zhang Wen left a phone number for Zhao Ming, saying that if Zhao Ming visits her New York University, she can be his tour guide for free.

Although it was unlikely that he would go to New York University to hang out, out of politeness, Zhao Ming accepted the note from Zhang Wen and threw it into the portable space. It is so convenient to have a portable space!

After getting off the plane, Zhao Ming took a deep breath.
Chapter completed!
