This was an idea that Zhu Xianhai had after regaining consciousness!
In a daze, unable to move his limbs, he only felt soreness all over his body, as if all the bones in his body had been kneaded into a ball and then re-aligned.
There is a strange smell in the air, but I can still breathe...
"Doctor... Where's the doctor? Doctor! I can still save you! I was just struck by lightning... I was just struck by lightning..."
The next moment, Zhu Xianhai stopped talking.
His vision had been restored, and the scene came into view. Then he even forgot about the pain in his body, stood up suddenly, and then...
My mood is very complicated, let me smoke a cigarette to calm down!
Litting the cigarette and glancing ahead, Zhu Xianhai closed his eyes again, his mind still a little confused!
He quickly took a deep breath of cigarette, nicotine filled his alveoli, and he slowly calmed down.
Open your eyes again, and then close them again, as if you don't want to face it.
Vision, hearing, and smell have all been restored. The air is filled with a pungent smell of ammonia, which is... the smell of feces.
Everything around seems different.
Under the bright sunshine, the bustling streets are full of... Europeans?
Here is that?
The pedestrians were dressed in a 19th-century style, as if they had stepped out of an old Civil War movie. Many women were wearing exaggerated rococo dresses.
Everything in front of him seemed so real, but to Zhu Xianhai, it was so unreal.
"What the hell is this?"
Zhu Xianhai's scalp was numb. In shock, he kept taking deep breaths to force himself to calm down.
Now, he is more concerned about what time it is and where this place is.
This... is time travel?
Or was he struck dumb by lightning and a phantom appeared?
…
This... traveled through time!
After a moment of confusion, Zhu Xianhai's expression suddenly became a little excited.
"I really, really traveled through time!"
Time travel!
This is an opportunity to change your destiny!
Originally, he had been working hard in first-tier cities after graduating from college. After running into obstacles everywhere, he decided that instead of trying his best in big cities, he might as well return to his hometown and work hard to become a civil servant, and then
Find a girl from a good family and live a makeshift life between work and home. This is a life that can be seen with the naked eye.
But now he has traveled through time!
Isn’t this the rhythm of reaching the peak of life?
The protagonists in the novels I have read a long time ago, after time travel, relied on their insights and knowledge ahead of the times, let alone earning endless wealth, it is normal for them to be called lonely and ignorant.
Now it's my turn. With our engineering background, even in the 19th century, an era of mechanical technology explosion, it was easy to earn billions of wealth.
"Haha... I'm rich now!"
Zhu Xianhai, who realized that he was about to reach the peak of his life, was naturally excited.
…
After walking on the street for half an hour, Zhu Xianhai finally figured out where this place was.
1860!
Argentina!
Buenos Aires!
What does Buenos Aires, the country's capital, look like?
The noisy streets were like a vegetable market. The streets were filled with crowded people and horse-drawn carriages, and the ground was littered with excrement left by the carriages and horses.
There are various vegetables and some fruits on the stalls on both sides of the street, flies are buzzing on the butcher stalls, and all kinds of gadgets are placed everywhere.
Horse hooves trampling on the stone road, the shouts of coachmen and the cries of vendors echoed on the street, making it extremely noisy. Although only a few people were still well-dressed, most of them were relatively clean.
Look up and look into the distance.
The sky here is very blue, and the blue sky and white clouds are exceptionally transparent, but the air in the city is very smelly!
The sky is blue, but the air is smelly!
If it were in the past, he would have been choked by the smell of urine and spit out his overnight meal, but now that he was in a great mood, he couldn't care less about that.
Of course, no matter how excited you are, you can still feel the gazes from around you.
Surprised and curious.
What is certain is that Zhu Xianhai did attract the attention of many people. Even the patrolling military police also noticed this guy who looked a bit like an aborigine.
But looking at his bright clothes, they started to murmur in their hearts.
"Maybe it's a new model from Europe..."
In the eyes of the old-timers in Buenos Aires, Zhu Xianhai's cheap work suit has become his talisman.
He was wearing the latest European suit and leather shoes, and he looked like a wealthy man.
Of course, Zhu Xianhai knew nothing about all this.
After all, he has more important things to consider right now.
What's most important right now?
Of course he survived!
Perhaps, this place is full of opportunities and countless wealth!
However, as a time-traveler, he must first solve the problem of food and clothing. What about becoming a successful person is something that will happen later.
The problem of food and clothing is very simple, as long as you have money.
But...where does the money come from?
money?
People don’t recognize the “rich money” of the 21st century!
In the midst of boredom, Zhu Xianhai took out a cigarette from his bag. Come on, let's smoke another cigarette to calm down!
The moment he touched the cigarette box, his eyes suddenly lit up...
There is a door!
…
Mapuche?
Not like.
The moment the customer entered the store, a cloud of questions appeared in Alfonso's mind.
Despite this, as a businessman, he still looked at this customer with a businessman's eyes.
His clothes are not only fashionable, but also very decent. His black leather shoes sparkle in the sun. His clothes and leather shoes all show exquisite workmanship. He is definitely a rich man!
But it is clear that this man's condition does not seem to be good at the moment. There are some gray marks on his pants.
"Sir, do you need anything?"
The other party's answer immediately verified Alfonso's guess.
"Do you buy jewelry?"
Facts have proven that the Spanish you learn when picking up girls is definitely more fluent than the English you learn for CET-4 and CET-6, Zhu Xianhai said.
"certainly,"
Alfonso had a bright smile on his face. As a jewelry merchant, his favorite thing is to buy second-hand jewelry.
The profits are more generous. And the people selling are often in a bad situation, which naturally makes it easier to lower the price.
"I don't know what you want to sell, sir? Gold jewelry, diamonds, or..."
"You may have never seen this thing like me."
Zhu Xianhai took out a box from his satchel and put it on the counter.
"What, this... chess?"
Alfonso was stunned, what did he want to sell?
chess?
This is a jewelry store, but you treat it like a pawn shop.
The change in Alfonso's expression fell into Zhu Xianhai's eyes, and he immediately took a deep breath and said.
"This is no ordinary chess piece...it comes from the imperial palace of China."
