Feng Jun also hoped in his heart that he could grow taller. He used to think that this goal would be impossible to achieve in this life. The best choice was just to buy a pair of height-increasing shoes.

However, he now had the second chance to develop again, and he had to admit it that he was quite attracted to it.

Anyway, no matter how he was attracted to it, he must focus on his ability to make money with the space now.

He went back to his dorm and found two autumn clothes, a thick jacket, and a pair of thick trousers. He also found a small rechargeable flashlight and stuffed them into a trolley case.

An infrared telescope reminded him of the good memories from when he was in college. During his education, he was a half-hearted traveler in addition to studying and exercising. Although he hadn’t done a long journey, he had bought some accouterments.

He really missed the good old days in college.

He bought the infrared telescope with a kukri back then, but he sold it to a junior student when he graduated from his university. It could easily cause him trouble if he carried it everywhere.

After all the necessities were stuffed into the trolley case, Feng Jun picked up his old phone and was ready to enter the space in it. However, the door was pushed open at this time, and Qin Tao walked in.

Feng Jun decided to wait for a while, but Qin Tao began to play a mobile game while lying on the bed, so he had to leave with his trolley case.

Qin Tao opened his mouth but didn’t bother to raise his head. “Are you leaving?”

Feng Jun gave him a glance, but found that he was paying his full attention to the phone, so he lightly said, “To walk around for a while.”

Qin Tao said nothing further. Actually, it wasn’t easy for him to say a complete sentence.

Feng Jun dragged his suitcase downstairs. When he passed by a convenience store, he stopped for a while. He then walked in and bought two bottles of 1.25 liters of mineral water along with a few boxes of chocolates.

When he dragged his suitcase into the door of Hongjie Fitness Club, Xiao Li at the front desk happened to be yawning toward the door. She was shocked when she saw Feng Jun. “Where are you going?”

Feng Jun lied, “My trolley case is a bit dirty, so I brought it over to wipe it.”

“Alright.” Xiao Li nodded. She disliked using her mind, so she accepted his lie. She suddenly remembered something. “I don’t need to use my mobile phone now. Is it enough to lend it to you for half an hour?”

Feng Jun was struck dumb for a second. “Um, I don’t think it’s necessary now.”

“Why?” Hearing that, Xiao Li was annoyed. “I just deleted online banking and Alipay, and transferred all the change from WeChat to others. Now you tell me it’s not necessary?”

“Fine.” Feng Jun was a little scared, so he could only nod with an upset face. “I thought it wasn’t convenient for you. I need it right now only for 10 minutes.”

“Ten minutes?” Xiao Li looked at him with suspicion and gave him her phone. “Where do you want to use my phone?”

Feng Jun said, “The washroom.”

“The washroom?” Xiao Li was startled then raised her hand and quickly grabbed her phone back.

She slid to open her phone, then the photo album. Her white fingers jumped on the screen, which was dazzlingly flexible.

Without thinking, she clicked about 70 times in succession, then the delete button before handing the phone over again. “You should have a girlfriend, and don’t be addicted to it.” She said to Feng Jun with a meaningful smile.

What? Feng Jun patted his forehead in distress. “Do you think I’m going to masturbate—”

“I won’t give you that chance,” Xiao Li interrupted him. “Only photos of food and beautiful views are left in my album.”

Feng Jun wore a resigned expression, and didn’t open his mouth again until he remained silent for a long while. “You’re thinking too much.”

He wasn’t so horny that he lost his reason and standards.

To be honest, Xiao Li had a good body, but her face was quite plain, so she actually wasn’t very attractive.

Anyway, she was young and not ugly, or she wouldn’t become the receptionist.

Feng Jun pulled the suitcase into a washroom stall. He then opened the camera of Xiao Li’s mobile phone before he placed it on the water tank cover. There was a small holder attached to her phone, which was very convenient to adjust the angle.

He put the handle of the suitcase on his right elbow and unlocked the screen of his old phone with his left hand. He then touched the blank space. “Let’s go!”

The next second, he was at the Gobi Desert again. As he expected, his trolley case was hung on his elbow and was brought over.

The sun at this moment still hadn’t set. In this space, once he left, time seemed to stop too.

A cold wind suddenly blew, and he shivered involuntarily. He opened the suitcase in a hurry and began to put on his clothes.

Afterward, he looked around and checked the mark on his left wrist.

The mark was very faint now, and it seemed to be lighter after he harvested the grass for the first time. If he didn’t charge himself, he wouldn’t be able to enter any space again, including this strange space and QQ farm.

It seemed that he needed more energy to bring the supplies inside.

It was necessary for him to make a quantitative indicator for the energy required to bring in materials.

Feng Jun shook his head. He couldn’t take this into consideration for the time being. What he needed to do now was to patiently explore the surrounding area and not waste this chance.

He spent more than two hours walking around the village but found no living creatures.

A while later, he began to change clothes and put on the autumn clothes and long trousers on the leeward side. His thick jacket and trousers were outside.

He waited until the sun went down before he tried to enter the village, and it took him another four to five hours to walk the whole village.

There indeed weren’t any living creatures in the village, but he found some scattered bones, which looked like human bones.

He even found a skull in a shallow pit with a bite mark on it.

Feng Jun wasn’t a coward, and he came to take an adventure, but it was still quite scary when he encountered a skull in the middle of the night in the wilderness.

He also brought a thin towel quilt with him, intending to stay overnight here in case of an accident, but now, it seemed that the field was much colder than he thought, and the thin quilt wasn’t enough.

Besides, there were many human bones around him. It wasn’t easy for him to fall asleep in such a circumstance.

Even though Feng Jun was brave, he was only a brave human being.

He didn’t know how long he had tolerated the cold, but it seemed to be as long as a century. The sun finally rose, and tears welled up in Feng Jun’s eyes when he saw a red glow in the sky.

When the sun finally rose and a red glow appeared on the horizon, tears welled up in Feng Jun’s eyes.

He had eaten all the chocolates he brought here, but he didn’t drink much water. He didn’t even finish a bottle of 1.25 liters of mineral water because it was too cold.

He must prepare more supplies the next time before he came here again!

As the sun rose, the temperature soon went up. Feng Jun stretched his limbs and began to do the last exploration in the village.

After looking around for a long time, he didn’t find anything valuable. There were fragments of earthenware pots and coarse porcelain bowls, but he couldn’t make much money with them.

He wished that he could find something valuable here, which would be worthy of his effort.

Anyway, on a broken wall, he indeed found two paintings. One was the portrait of a character, while the other was an animal similar to a rabbit.

The level of the two paintings wasn’t high, and it was painted with charcoal strips. In Feng Jun’s eyes, it wasn’t much better than children’s graffiti.

Nevertheless, from the characters in the paintings, he was sure that the costumes of the people here were about the level of the Ming Dynasty. The upper and lower clothes were separated, and the right side was wrapped over before the left.

“Did I travel back in time?” Feng Jun rubbed his jaw with a frown.

After that, he found a broken stone slab with shallow characters on it.

Even though he indeed had travelled in time, he wouldn’t be afraid of it. Feng Jun sat on a stone pier and carefully thought about it. Anyway, this was a two-way door, and he was able to go home.

However, he didn’t know what dynasty it was. If it was the last year of the Ming Dynasty, that would be great.

He wouldn’t miss this great chance to have sex with all the famous beautiful women like Liu Rushi, Dong Xiaowan, Chen Yuanyuan, Bian Yujing, and so forth in the history.

Well, he was thinking too much now. Feng Jun glanced around and planned to return. He didn’t know when he could come here again, so he needed to observe this place carefully to avoid missing anything.

The next second, he faintly felt that something was wrong. He raised his left hand to have a look, and he found the print on his wrist had already faded to be almost unrecognizable.

He somehow felt the print was a little hot.

Feng Jun raised his right hand and touched his left wrist. As he expected, the place, where the mark was, was really hot.

Before long, he found the cause of the heat. It came from the stone pier under his a*s.

When his left hand touched the stone pier, the heat on the print increased.

This stone pier was abnormal!

The stone pier wasn’t big, and it was about a foot square, a foot and a half high, and about half a foot of it had fallen into the soil.

It took Feng Jun half an hour to dig out the stone pier. He stretched out his arms, but he failed to move it. It was at least three to four hundred pounds.

He believed that he couldn’t bring such a heavy stone into the real world. It was already very difficult for him to move it, and he didn’t have enough energy to bring it out.

Besides, he must consider other people’s feelings.

He came to use the washroom, and it would be quite strange if he left with a large stone.

Out of anger, he kicked the stone pier. “I’m really mad now. Oh, wait.”
