Written by Infinite Bulldozer · 2703 words After finishing his business, Zhou Ye made full use of the superhuman abilities he had gained from the movies, sometimes walking quickly and sometimes stepping on rooftops.
After confirming that no one was following him, he took a taxi from the other side of Z City back to his rented place.
Jumping back into his room through the window, Zhou Ye suddenly wondered if he should move.
This place was a melting pot of all sorts of people; it was definitely not a good place.
But one thing made him hesitate: could he still use his computer?
What if he couldn’t get back into the movie world after it was turned on?
This really gave Zhou Ye a lot to think about; moving it or not moving it…
After scratching his head one last time, he gave up on the idea of moving.
Now, he was eager to verify something again.
He turned on the movie “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” and reached his hand into it…
With a whoosh, Zhou Ye reappeared in his penthouse apartment at 40 Wall Street in Manhattan, between Nassau Street and William Street, exactly where he had left off.
The perpetual calendar watch on the coffee table was still stuck at the time he had just left…
He had clearly been out for at least six hours, but the time here hadn’t changed…
“Is this the observer effect?” The timeline of a world only works when you’re in it, just like Schrödinger’s cat…
This is absolutely amazing!
Zhou Ye was so excited he almost jumped for joy…
After calming himself down, Zhou Ye once again chose to leave the world of film.
Back in reality, he began to plan his choice of a second movie world.
For him, one who does not plan for the long term cannot plan for the short term, and a person without foresight will have immediate worries.
When he can travel between many movie worlds, the question of lifespan will become a primary concern for him.
Immortality has been humanity’s greatest desire since ancient times, and this is no different for Zhou Ye.
There are many movies about immortality, but there’s only one movie that has no side effects and can also bring immortality to one’s harem…
In Time.
In a fictional future world, human genes are programmed to remain at age 25, and regardless of how long they live, their physiological characteristics will remain at age 25.
However, by the age of 25, everyone can only live for a maximum of one more year.
The only way to continue living is to acquire more time through various means (such as working, borrowing, trading, selling, or even robbing).
Thus, time became the currency of this world.
Similar to banks, time management institutions are found all over the world.
The rich can live forever, while the poor struggle to survive.
Once the watch on their wrist reaches zero, it signifies death…
This is a perfect world for Zhou Ye…
What he complained about most while watching the movie was that in a world where birth, aging, sickness and death have been resolved, the only weapon is a small pistol, oh my god!
This was an unguarded treasure trove for Zhou Ye!
As you turn on the movie, the 20th Century Fox intro begins.
The story begins with the male protagonist just waking up, looking at the remaining time displayed on his arm, and worrying that he only has twenty-four hours to live…
As the story unfolds, the male protagonist wakes up and starts talking to his mother, who looks like she’s 25.
To celebrate her 50th birthday, he spends a lot of time buying her a bottle of expensive red wine from a wealthy neighborhood…
After a heartwarming day between mother and son, the male protagonist prepares to go out to work to earn the time he needs each day…
Zhou Ye chooses to transmigrate into the world at this moment!
The progress bar in the upper right corner of the computer screen has reached about 50%…
“What a neat slum!” Zhou Ye realized he was standing on an old street, where people hurried by.
He saw no elderly people, only young people and children… “Bang—!” Without any restraint, Zhou Ye moved at supersonic speed directly through the bustling street.
As the sound of breaking the sound barrier rang out, a shockwave, accompanied by the explosive force of breaking the sound barrier, sent the people on the roadside flying into the air like toys…
“Oh my god!
What is that?!” “Damn it, have those rich people invented some new trick to exploit the poor?” Ignoring their complaints, Zhou Ye flew into the air and headed straight for a very modern-looking city in the distance…
“Is this New Greenwich?” Zhou Ye stood on the top of a building, looking down at the bustling metropolis below, and glanced at his watch.
“It took less than five minutes from entering to finding the place, which was a delightful discovery!” “Narrowing down the target is a good thing!” Zhou Ye sat on the edge of the building, swinging his legs, and muttered to himself, “But, for a more efficient robbery, I still need a guide, someone who knows everything about this place…” “Hmm?” Zhou Ye suddenly felt like someone was watching him.
He turned his head and saw a woman standing behind him, looking at him curiously.
The woman looked somewhat familiar.
Amanda Seyfried?
“No, my name is Sylvia!” said the beautiful woman in a long black dress with a mink shawl.
“Ah…” Zhou Ye slapped his forehead, realizing he had accidentally called out the actor’s name.
This is awkward!
“Excuse me, what I mean is, I have a friend who looks a lot like you, you two are practically identical!” “Is this how you always flirt with girls?” The girl walked up to Zhou Ye and sat down right next to him without a care in the world!
“Of course not!” Zhou Ye shook his head and said, “I’m usually the one who gets hit on by girls, so you know, after being hit on so many times, I’ve learned how to hit on other girls in the same way!” “Hahaha…” Sylvia laughed so hard she almost collapsed into Zhou Ye’s arms: “You’re so funny…” “That’s what they all say!” “You don’t seem to be from here!” Sylvia questioned Zhou Ye’s distinctly Asian appearance.
“All those wealthy people in the East are gathered in New Beijing and New Tokyo.
Good heavens, you’ve spent at least a hundred years getting through those time zone toll gates…” “That’s nothing!” Zhou Ye couldn’t help but smile at the unexpected surprise.
After all, his plan wasn’t for the millions; it was for at least the hundreds of millions.
He had been planning to rob the place for a long time, and now there was a ready-made guide here.
It was truly a delightful discovery.
“What’s wrong with you?” Sylvia looked at Zhou Ye with a mischievous grin, which gave her a bad feeling, but she couldn’t bear to look away from him.
“Nothing!
I was just wondering what you were doing here!” Zhou Ye collected his thoughts and said, “I didn’t see your bodyguards!” “I shook them off.
This place has been my secret base since I was little.
I come here to check on things when I’m in a bad mood!” Sylvia then asked curiously, “How did you know I have bodyguards?” “Isn’t it obvious?” Zhou Ye said, “Wasting time doing nothing is a privilege only the rich can afford.
And given the nature of the rich, they are usually afraid that others will steal their wealth, so isn’t it only natural for them to have bodyguards?
It’s like many rich people have had enough of life and want to die!” “Yes!” Sylvia nodded in agreement.
“I’ve only been an adult for a short time, so I don’t really understand what people who feel they’ve lived too long and want to die are thinking.
But many of my father’s friends seem to have similar thoughts; they like thrilling sports…” “And what about you?” Zhou Ye smiled slightly, looking directly into Sylvia’s eyes, and asked, “Do you like exciting sports?” “I…I don’t know!” Sylvia looked into Zhou Ye’s eyes, feeling an urge to get closer to him.
She didn’t know why she felt such a strong urge towards a complete stranger she had just met…
“Maybe…
I’ll do that when I get tired of all this!” Zhou Ye laughed.
He felt that his seductive gaze had left the deepest mark on Sylvia’s heart.
It was simply shameless and extremely beautiful.
“Do you believe me?” Zhou Ye asked again, trying to reassure him.
“I don’t know…” Sylvia, the little lamb who had always been well protected under her father’s wing, had absolutely no idea how to deal with the big bad wolf who had already left a mark on her heart… “If you trust me, give me your hand!” Zhou Ye said, extending his left hand.
“…” Sylvia, who didn’t know anything, unhesitatingly placed her small hand into Zhou Ye’s.
