Chapter 1709 Eighteen Years Passed in a Flash
After Qin An returned to Sky Opening City, he stayed for seven days.
Interests and rights are an inseparable combination.
When he obtained the City Lord, Qin An's methods were extremely extreme. Many people hated him, but when the Sky Opening City brought all kinds of benefits to the players, the people were not so ruthless. Some people even began to teleport the mysterious city lord who refused to reveal his identity. He was truly awesome! How could he think of a way to occupy the palace with the zombies of the system? Moreover, the few women who appeared at that time were truly experts, causing others to be astonished.
Qin An introduced a number of measures, such as recruiting civil servants, organizing family communities, reducing transaction taxes, lowering housing rents and so on, which quickly integrated the players' resources in the city. Afterwards, he pushed Ci'an and the Yang Family to the front desk, allowing them to participate in the follow-up management.
The Yang Clan mainly used their clan connections. After all, they were people from the future world. Participating in management would be easier. Yang Xiaofeng was very cooperative, because directly becoming the City Lord's trusted aide was a good thing for the clan. The Yang Clan would not refuse. Yang Guo's status in the Yang Clan had also improved a lot because of Qin An. He was naturally happy. The relationship between people always changed from deep interaction to different. The two of them were polite and could never become friends. There were some storms and waves between the two of them that could cause sparks in the end. Back then, Yang Xiaofeng had let Yang Guo ride her like a dog, but now, the two of them had become better CP. Although Yang Xiaofeng would still lose her temper with Yang Guo, her relationship was slowly developing into an ambiguous relationship.
Ci An's wisdom was always ignored. Without Ci Xi, she would most likely have been an influential empress dowager in history. In the Great Qing Imperial Palace back then, many of the policies she advocated were actually very good. Under Qin An's plea, the Empress Dowager, who had traveled through space and time, left the mountain. With the help of Jing Yi and Wei Hong, Kai Tian City was managed in seven days. Of course, everything could not be separated from Qin An, the City Lord behind the scenes, who had formulated a number of policies.
Qin An had not seen Yao Zi in seven days, but he knew what Yao Zi had done in the past seven days, because she had occupied the pavilion not far from the palace gate, which had become her bedroom.
Qin An thought it was funny, but he wasn't prepared to take the initiative to reconcile with the demon. He also had to consider his relationship with the demon. How could a smart person like Qin An not feel how special the Demon Child was to him? Although he felt that it was illusory to be with the Orc Queen, Qin An still needed to think about it. If you don't want to get any results, then you'd better stay away from it now. Otherwise, if there really is a trick to live for a long time in the future, it will be a waste of your heart. After Qin An recovered his memories, he had been tangling with his women. There were four in the real world and more in the dead space. He really didn't want to have any interactions with other women.
Qin An had already reached Level 40, so it seemed that he could go to the next map to explore and fight monsters.
Back City Battle System will be activated from Level 40, Attacking other people's cities would not only benefit from all kinds of wealth and equipment, but also allow all players in the city to upgrade their experience. Qin An's first goal was to attack Evernight City. The city was still occupied by Undying Monsters, but Qiye had already disappeared and never appeared again. Qin An had secretly gone there twice and found no changes.
Yao Zi seemed to have completely forgotten about Qiye. He had cultivated for seven days and slept and ate every day. He didn't even leave the pavilion. Wei Hong had the potential of a dog. She helped Ci'an take care of the things in the city, but she still had time to bring food to Yao Zi to chat with her. When she returned, she would tell Qin An what Yao Zi wanted to eat and ask Qin An to personally cook it.
Qin An wanted to refuse, but when he activated his clairvoyance and saw the lonely figure of the woman in the pavilion outside, he couldn't bear it.
The days went on like this, calmly and tediously.
Today's heavy rain covered the entire Kaitian City area. This rain was very real and could really soak a person's body through. Therefore, most players chose to stay in the city and not go out to upgrade. Players who were unable to return to the city in the wild also found shelter from the rain.
Qin An did not waste any time. In order to build his own city, he did not act as the shopkeeper, so he had been very busy these past few days. Now that he had free time, he naturally had to go out and train. He came out alone, so the women couldn't stand the pain of leveling up in the rain.
From killing monsters in the morning until night, Qin An was a little tired.
This was a mountain forest ten kilometers north of the city. Originally, Qin An wanted to activate his speed to return to the main city, but he suddenly found a pink pig running past him.
Recently, Qin An checked out some NPC selling game guides, so he knew that this little pig was called "Fragrant Pig". It was a very delicious ingredient that could increase the basic attribute points. It was also considered extremely rare.
Naturally, Qin An would not let it go. He chased after it and eventually caught it and killed it in a cave.
Originally, he hadn't eaten. Now that he had obtained high-grade ingredients, he could enjoy it. Moreover, Qin An discovered that this cave was very special. A hot spring was crystal clear to the bottom. Stones made of unknown materials on the wall of the cave emitted a gentle light. Many strange flowers and plants competed for beauty under the light. It was very beautiful.
Qin An simply started roasting the fragrant pig with firewood in the cave. After finishing it, he ate half of the pig and added 50 Attribute Points each. This made Qin An very satisfied.
Xiangxiang pig could increase their stats by 50 points with a single bite, so Qin An put away the other half and prepared to go back to the women to eat.
After dinner, Qin An took off his clothes and jumped into the hot spring to soak in a hot bath. He felt extremely comfortable and finally fell asleep.
After falling asleep, Qin An felt as if he had had a dream, and he didn't expect that this dream would last for another eighteen years!
…
"Two nights of beef noodles!"
At that time, Weng Lan was still a woman named Li Ying in Qin An's eyes.
"Darling, a night of beef noodles is nine yuan, two bowls of eighteen. I'll add an egg for you. It's exactly twenty."
"Honey, I made 300 today. You made 100. Our income is 400 a day. Today, I spend 70 yuan. You spend 11 yuan. In addition to this dinner, 18 yuan, we have to spend 99 yuan. If we add an egg, it's 101 yuan. If it's more than 100 yuan, isn't that a big loss? This was simply a huge loss! You can't spend more than a hundred dollars a day, so that we can keep our monthly expenses at 3,000 yuan, Excluding the cost of living and the mortgage, we need to spend 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month. We can only save 2,000 yuan a month. After that, we can save up to 20,000 yuan a year and 200,000 yuan a decade. When the time comes, our children will have to go to school. We will have the first education fund and have the money to have a second child. I want to have two children. Thirty years from now, we have already paid off the mortgage. We should be able to save one million yuan. At that time, the two children will grow up. We can't give them a lot of money, but we can let them have a comfortable life. After that, we will have to rely on them to earn a living. We need to save up for the rest of the decade. When I retire, I will keep the money I earned from the previous ten years for myself. I don't want to go abroad either. I just need to go around the country where we have never been before. Let's use the pension to see a doctor. People must have all sorts of illnesses when they get old. Darling, do you think I planned it well? "So, leave your life to me. Eat one less poached egg and my wife will give you happiness and comfort for your entire life!"
Qin An felt very happy. His wife was very outstanding. Her optimism, her diligence and frugality could infect anyone.
At this moment, another Qin An stood outside the store.
He opened his X-ray vision and saw Qin An talking to Li Ying inside.
Could this be a dream?
Why did he return to the past again? Such a clear feeling, such a clear scene, such a clear state of mind!
No, this can't be a dream!
What's going on?
"Haha, Qin An! It's really fate, I actually found you! Guess who I am?"
Qin An's eyes were suddenly covered by someone. He quickly turned around and saw a graceful woman standing at the spot where he had just stood.
Qin An was slightly stunned for a while before he asked in surprise, "Wu Xiaoxiao?"
Speaking of this woman, Qin An was really familiar with her.
Back then, she met Wu Xiaoxiao when she was participating in the curse for the first time with Ling'er, and she even brought her to Hong Kong in her memories. That time, it was also very unexpected. When they came out of the space, they brought back Qin An's relatives. Now that the father and daughter were still living in the Nine Dragons Empire, they could be considered at ease.
Wu Xiaoxiao was suffering from some mental illness, and then she became crazy. She would often disappear, disappear in the real world, disappear in other people's memory space. Wu Xiaoxiao possessed this special ability to stop the real world. After that, he would be able to enter another person's memory space for several decades. Therefore, the current Wu Xiaoxiao was most likely the oldest person on earth, because she had already visited countless people's memories and had stayed there for countless years.
Upon seeing Wu Xiaoxiao, Qin An understood that she must have encountered him when she entered the game world and brought him back to the memory world.
"Heavens! How did you recognize me? Did you recover your memories?"
"Mm, I've almost recovered. Aren't you crazy?"
"Crazy? That's right! I'm crazy! How did I forget? I'm crazy! Qin An, I'm scared, someone is chasing me! Someone is chasing me!"
Wu Xiaoxiao was still laughing before, but suddenly, she put on a look of fear.
Qin An was a little speechless. It was normal just now, but after being prompted by him, he went crazy?
"Don't be afraid. Who will chase you? Let's not stay here. Why did you bring me back into the memory world and leave?"
"No! You can't go out, Qin An. Didn't you miss Weng Lan? I brought you to see her. Are you happy?" Wu Xiaoxiao seemed to be crazy for a while, but he wasn't crazy for a while, which really confused Qin An.
Looking sideways at the noodle shop, Weng Lan was wiping her mouth with a tissue when a warm smile appeared on Qin An's face.
"I miss Weng Lan, but this Weng Lan is not mine, and this world does not belong to us. Wu Xiaoxiao, you must think of a way to bring me back."
"Go back where?"
"Of course it's the real world, our space."
"But I can't find it … There are many, many worlds in my world. I can freely travel through them. For me … Which one of them is real?"
Wu Xiaoxiao frowned and pondered. Qin An was extremely depressed when he saw her appearance. If he couldn't return, could he still stay here forever?
Just as he was thinking, the scene suddenly changed. Qin An arrived in a room and saw a man and woman embracing each other naked on the bed.
This is … Wang Yi and Li Ying?
"Qin An, can we look for it slowly? I really don't know which one is your real world. Shall we look for it slowly?"
"Alright … but can't they see us?"
'"Yes, I can't see or hear it. As long as I enter someone else's memory space, I can open it at any time. Isn't it fun? Let's see, this is Shangguan Yeying's memory space. Qin An, do you know the man in bed?"
Qin An sighed. Since he couldn't go back now, he could only come at ease.
"Yes, I do. Weng Lan's younger sister Li Ying, this man should be called Wang Yi. This is my home … Weng Lan should be in the hospital at this time, perhaps in the United States. She asked Li Ying to replace her, and then Li Ying brought her boyfriend Wang Yi home, but …"
Qin An suddenly stopped talking and activated his Heaven Scryer Spiritual Sense to search around. In the end, he found a camera near the chandelier.
This should be the thing Tang Yu secretly photographed herself with, right?
"Haha, I've also been to Tang Yu's memory world. I'll show you."
After Wu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the scene changed and she went to Tang Yu's office.
"En … Ah …"
The suppressed woman's voice rang out, startling Qin An. Looking around, she was even more frightened silly. Back then, Queen Tang Yu was the boss of Qin An Company. At this moment, the female boss was actually stroking her chest with her hand, her face flushed red.
This… Touch yourself?
Looking carefully at Qin An's face, she also blushed. She was actually watching the video of herself bathing. Touch, it turned out that there was also a camera in the bathroom.
People's appearances were indeed completely different from their hearts. Who would have thought that a woman like Tang Yu would actually be so unrestrained in her heart?
"Wu Xiaoxiao, we should be able to continue walking. I'm not interested in wandering around in other people's memories." Qin An decided to leave. He didn't want to see Tang Yu in estrus. It wasn't that he didn't want to. It was just that with Wu Xiaoxiao around, he was a little embarrassed.
'"Alright, this is so funny. I'm always scared, because when I wander around, people often chase after me. She seems to want to talk to me. She's a shadow, a terrifying, terrifying shadow!"
Wu Xiaoxiao's words were very serious, and then it became abnormal. He was crazy like a child, and he kept letting Qin An hug him.
Qin An could not resist her enthusiasm at all, so he could only hug her.
Perhaps it was because of her mental instability that Wu Xiaoxiao started to bring Qin An back and forth in her memories.
Originally, Qin An was able to return to the real world very quickly, but he was wrong.
As Wu Xiaoxiao and Qin An returned to the beginning of the apocalypse, the day Qin Xiaoyan hid in her house, he saw Qin Xiaoyan throw away the key in front of his door. In other words, Qin Xiaoyan hiding in her house was a plan that burned the boat. She wanted to use her compassion to take her in when she was in trouble. Ah, Qin An sighed with emotion. It could only be said that Qin Xiaoyan was also a scheming bitch. Of course, although there was such an evaluation, Qin An's love for Qin Xiaoyan would not change.
The scenes that followed were unfamiliar to Qin An. Wu Xiaoxiao had entered the memories of countless people, so her memories were countless.
The creatures Wu Xiaoxiao remembered weren't just humans, there were also many people from the Heart of the Sword Spirit.
Because of this, Qin An finally had a long journey and started to visit this mysterious and special planet.
Just like that, eighteen years passed in the blink of an eye.
For eighteen years, Qin An and Wu Xiaoxiao had been reincarnating in their memories.
Finally, one day, Wu Xiaoxiao somehow opened her aperture and brought Qin An into a cave.
There were hot springs, glowing stones, and strange flowers and plants in this cave. It was the real world.
After traveling for eighteen years, there was no change at all in the real world.
Even though Qin An was already an extremely experienced man, he couldn't stand such a change.
Sitting naked in the hot spring, he found Wu Xiaoxiao unconscious on the shore beside him. Qin An hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, then woke Wu Xiaoxiao up.
"Xiaoxiao, we're finally back! Haha, we're finally back!"
"You're back?"
Wu Xiaoxiao looked cute.
Qin An and Wu Xiaoxiao had been together for eighteen years, and their relationship had not made any substantial progress. They could be considered good friends.
At the very least, that was what Qin An thought, but Wu Xiaoxiao's thoughts were unfathomable to Qin An.
She would often wake up for a day and then be confused for a few more days, and go crazy was simply unparalleled madness.
Wu Xiaoxiao had been going crazy these past few days, so Qin An didn't have much hope for her. She probably didn't understand what she was saying.
Ah!
That's great. Eighteen years. He had experienced eighteen years of this night. He really wanted to see someone he was familiar with!
Ci An, Jing Yi, Yao Zi, Wei Hong!
How are you doing in the game world?
Of course, it would be good, because their World Guard appearances didn't fade in the slightest for his eighteen years!
Qin An felt hot in his heart. These eighteen years were really lonely for him.
Wu Xiaoxiao's memory world was opened randomly. Other than the memories of Weng Lan, Tang Yu, and Qin Xiaoyan, the other memories that entered were the memories of strangers. The first eight years were on Earth, and the next ten years were on Planet Sword Spirit. Qin An could not find a sense of belonging in those worlds. Although he had seen many sceneries along the way, as if it was a journey that had lasted for eighteen years, these were not what Qin An wanted.
Suddenly, Wu Xiaoxiao burst into tears and threw herself into Qin An's arms.
Qin An knew that Wu Xiaoxiao was only in a fit of emotion, and crying for no reason was a manifestation of madness.
"Qin An, I'm so scared, so scared."
"Don't be afraid. We've returned to the real world. What's there to be afraid of? Don't worry, I'll accompany you."
"No! You won't accompany me, you will leave me!"
Qin An was speechless and could only comfort Wu Xiaoxiao as usual.
Under Qin An's gentle whispers, Wu Xiaoxiao gradually stabilized her emotions and then fell asleep in Qin An's arms.
Inside the cave, there was still the fragrant kiss of a roasted pig floating. Qin An sat on the ground, hugging Wu Xiaoxiao. He was dumbfounded when he saw the rain falling outside the cave.
Eighteen years, I feel so tired…
