General of the Heavens

Chapter 92 The Spirited Young Man [Seeking Recommendations]

The world changes in the blink of an eye.

"Ding! System tasks issued, task completed. Task 1: Please sign in at least ten ancient tombs of royal rank. Task 2: Unmask the Queen of Jingjue. Task 3: Unravel the secrets of the imaginary space."

The system's familiar voice entered his mind as usual. Ning Chen stretched his shoulders, feeling that this mission was a little stressful.

"Signing in at ten ancient tombs of royal and noble rank, tsk tsk tsk, how could I not pick up something while signing in? To put it bluntly, isn't it just tomb raiding? The system really thinks highly of itself, but I like challenges!"

Ning Chen smacked his lips and muttered something.

There's also the Jingjue Queen's mask. Even without the system saying so, Ning Chen definitely wouldn't let it go. The true appearance of the Jingjue Queen has always been a mystery, and when it comes to the passion for exploring the unknown, Ning Chen is definitely a top performer.

Actually, the last two system tasks are not difficult. Jingjue Ancient City is a necessary place in the plot development, so you can't avoid going there.

The key issue is that the first system mission is a bit troublesome, not because of any difficulty in ability, but because of time constraints and the relatively short story time...

However, it turned out that Ning Chen was wrong.

Ning Chen's time travel point is ten years ago, which is before Hu Bayi served as a soldier in Kunlun Mountain, and there are still ten years before the official start of the Jingjue Ancient City storyline!

"No way, am I really going to live in this world for more than ten years?" Ning Chen found it hard to accept for a moment.

And so, ten years later...

.........

Beijing Railway Station.

Hu Bayi was feeling uneasy as soon as he got off the train, wondering if his father knew that he had been discharged from the army.

After serving in the army for ten years, Hu Bayi felt awkward walking after taking off his uniform. He wandered around his own house twice but didn't dare to go inside.

Finally, Hu Bayi was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he randomly found a restaurant to have a meal to fill his stomach before making any further plans.

As Hu Bayi ate the six-yuan plate of shredded pork with garlic sauce, he felt even more miserable. He had served in the army for ten years and only received three thousand yuan in demobilization pay, which was only enough to buy five hundred plates of shredded pork with garlic sauce, not even counting food...

I was so angry that even the shredded pork with garlic sauce didn't taste good. There were many empty tables in the restaurant, and just then, a complete idiot sat down across from me.

This guy was wearing bell-bottoms and big sunglasses; he looked like a hooligan, but in the terms of the main world, he'd be a "spirited young man."

Hu Bayi was really annoyed and was planning to beat him up to vent his anger when the man suddenly shouted, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!"

"A pagoda to suppress the river demon?"

Hu Bayi answered instinctively.

But why is he so skilled at it?

The man then asked, "Why is your face red?"

Hu Bayi was immediately excited. This was Fatty Wang, his childhood friend and best buddy. It had been more than ten years since he and Fatty Wang had last seen each other.

Seeing Wang Pangzi's smug look, Hu Bayi said, "Isn't it because he can't find a wife that he's so anxious! Little Fatty, I've missed you so much!"

However, no sooner had Hu Bayi finished speaking than two policemen rushed into the restaurant and slammed Wang Pangzi onto the table: "Wang Kaixuan, you're under arrest!"

Fatty Wang: "..."

The sudden turn of events left Hu Bayi completely bewildered. "Comrades, are you sure you're not mistaken? What crime could Little Fatty have committed?"

Fatty Wang was pinned down in front of Hu Bayi, utterly humiliated. He let out a pig-like scream: "You've arrested the wrong person! I haven't committed a crime!"

Hu Ba, completely trusting Fatty Wang, hurriedly said, "Comrades, I know him. I can guarantee that Fatty Wang is a good person and he won't commit a crime."

The policeman looked at him and asked, "Do you know him?"

"That's right, we grew up together. I know him best. He would never commit a crime, I can guarantee that!"

"Oh, so you're an accomplice. Cuff him too!" one policeman shouted. Another policeman immediately pressed Hu Bayi down on the seat, grabbed his hands, and put on the same handcuffs as Fatty Wang.

Hu Bayi: "..."

It's important to understand that Hu Bayi served in the military for ten years. With two policemen being so unreasonable, Hu Bayi was bound to resist.

However, the reality was that these two people were incredibly strong and fast, and Hu Bayi was like a weakling in front of them.

"Following a tip-off from a concerned citizen, the suspect, Wang Kaixuan, is suspected of reselling cassette tapes, swindling, speculation, and disrupting the market economy!"

Hu Bayi looked at Fatty Wang in disbelief and said, "Fatty, why are you reselling cassette tapes? How could that get reported?"

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang was on the verge of tears: "Ugh, I always run away whenever the Industry and Commerce Bureau comes to raid! Which bastard reported me? Damn it! I'll kill him sooner or later!"

Hu Bayi's face darkened. There's a saying that goes, "It's not the god-like opponents you should fear, but the pig-like teammates." If he had known, he wouldn't have made the guarantee!

"Shut up! You dare to threaten revenge in front of me? I think you're adding insult to injury. With your situation, a three- to five-year sentence wouldn't be a problem."

Fatty Wang panicked upon hearing this: "No, comrade, this isn't a serious crime. Just give him a warning and a fine, and that's it!"

Hu Bayi also said, "That's right, officer. I was drunk just now. I just returned to Beijing. How could I possibly sell tapes with him? I'm innocent. Why don't you let me go?"

"Hey! You old Hu, that's so disloyal! We're brothers, but now that you're in trouble, you're abandoning us? Officer, don't listen to him, I admit we were involved in reselling cassette tapes together!"

Hu Bayi was so angry he almost spat out blood. This guy really was an idiot! "Wang Kaixuan, you're a complete moron! How am I supposed to get you out if I don't go out? Do you really want to be imprisoned?"

"Huh? I thought you..."

"Stop! You two, stop talking. If you have something to say, come back to the station with us and we'll talk about it!" Two policemen, one on each side, took the two away.

Poor Hu Bayi, he still has more than half of the six yuan worth of shredded pork with garlic sauce left. That was one-five-hundredth of his demobilization pay!

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang looked dejected the whole way, especially Hu Bayi, who felt that his luck had been really bad lately.

First he was discharged from the army, then he was arrested upon returning to Beijing, and then went straight to the police station. Well, this was even more humiliating than being whipped with a belt by his father when he got home.

"Oh, it's Captain Wang. You've done another good deed?" Hu Bayi looked up when he heard the voice and saw a handsome young man in a suit and tie, with an extraordinary aura in his demeanor.

That's right, it's Ning Chen who transmigrated here.

The key question is: where does Hu Bayi feel he has seen Ning Chen before?

Captain Wang pointed at the two men and said, "Director Ning, you're here again. You're a regular here. This man was reported by concerned citizens for wandering around selling cassette tapes and disrupting the economic order. The other man may be his accomplice. We need to investigate further to confirm."

However, Ning Chen smiled slightly: "What a coincidence, Hu Bayi. I didn't expect to meet you again. It's just that the way we meet is quite unique."

Hu Bayi was surprised that this person actually knew him, but he just couldn't remember who Ning Chen was. He looked familiar, but he just couldn't place him.

Hu Bayi said awkwardly, "It's too much of a coincidence."

Actually, it's not a coincidence at all. It was Ning Chen who sent someone to report Wang Pangzi for reselling cassette tapes, just to give Hu Bayi a surprise.

Ten years have passed, and so many interesting things have happened.
