The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

"Sister Wang, first, I have recorded our conversation just now; second, after we signed the contract, we have already filed a case with the relevant department; third, according to the terms of the contract, I do not need to bear any compensation to you, and you should return my deposit."

"Well, you bitch, you coaxed me into registering and even scared me by saying there would be consequences if I didn't. I helped you, and this is how you treat me? You are such a conscienceless bastard, you deserve to have no one left in your family!"

Chaoyao has heard such words countless times since he was a child.

The last of her family members died when he accidentally fell from a scaffolding at a construction site on the day she came of age.

Everyone said that she was the only one alive in the family and she was the one who brought bad luck to her relatives. Her relatives all stayed away from her for fear of being tainted by even the slightest bit of bad luck.

If he wasn't strong enough inside, he would have had a mental breakdown and died with his family.

"I have recorded all of Wang Jie's insults. I am still able to talk to you in a friendly manner. I wonder if Wang Jie has paid taxes? I heard that this building belongs to you. If you add up all the apartments, there are at least 100 units, right? Wang Jie is a big landlord. She listened to me and filed the registration. I think she is soft-hearted. My deposit is not too much, but not too little either. To someone like Wang Jie, it may just be a drop in the bucket. But for me, it is the only condition for survival."

"Bah! You are so heartless! I curse you to be hit by a car and die when you go out! Back off, back off, back off. I will give it back to you right away. Just consider it as burning paper for you in advance!"

After saying that, Sister Wang hung up the phone.

In less than two minutes, Chaoyao received a transfer message from Sister Wang on his mobile phone.

So what if I get scolded a few times? So what if I get cursed a few times?

As long as you can survive, these are not a problem.

Besides, cursing or swearing won’t hurt you.

She said that she would die, but it was impossible for her to be so unlucky as to die.

Chaoyao took the bus to the funeral home. She was carrying a lot of bags. Although she was very tired, she was extremely excited.

The new job provided food and accommodation, so she finally didn't have to worry about wandering around.

The bus slowly drove onto a bridge. The sun was shining outside and the people on the bus were drowsy.

Suddenly a woman walked up to the driver's side, and before anyone could react, she grabbed the steering wheel.

"What are you doing! Put it down, put it down now!"

The driver yelled at the woman, but the woman seemed to have infinite power and drove the bus into the river like crazy.

Before the sleepy Chao Yao could react, he saw the bus suddenly turn in a different direction and drive into the river.

"boom!"

"Now let me break in a piece of news. On the XX Bridge, a female passenger suddenly grabbed the steering wheel of a bus traveling on the bridge, causing the bus to lose control and all passengers to fall into the river, resulting in heavy casualties."

"According to witnesses, the bus was driving normally on the bridge when the female passenger suddenly rushed forward to grab the steering wheel. The driver tried to stop her but failed. As the steering wheel was out of control, the bus deviated from the road, broke through the railing and eventually fell into the river."

"Rescue workers quickly arrived at the scene, but unfortunately, all passengers and the driver did not survive. At present, relevant departments have begun investigating the incident to determine the specific cause of the accident and the responsible party."

"We remind the general public once again that traffic safety is a matter of life and death. Everyone should consciously abide by traffic rules and not do anything that endangers public safety. We must crack down on such illegal behavior to maintain normal social order and public safety."

Chao Yao hovered above the bridge, watching the reporters below reporting slowly and steadily.

She... died?

Is this considered a car accident cursed by the landlord Sister Wang?

The probability of someone trying to grab the steering wheel and falling off the bridge should be lower than being hit by a car, right?

She sat on the bridge and watched the rescue team salvage again and again, and watched the cars coming and going in a shameless manner.

She felt sorry for his death, but it seemed like she couldn't do anything.

"Do you want to live?"

Um? Where did the sound come from?

Zhao Yao looked around to make sure there was nothing.

"Tell me, do you want to live?"

"Think, who's talking?"

"I am a seed system from a high-level civilization. I am now capturing some ordinary people in the myriad worlds and sending them to other worlds. My main purpose is to collect species from each world. The world we are in is desolate, so we need to collect things from each world to decorate it."

"Oh."

"Why did you react so calmly? You weren't surprised at all, or even pleasantly surprised?"

"I can't even see you, so of course whatever you say is what it is. I am just a ghost now, and I have never been a ghost before, so I don't have any experience. I don't know what the myriad worlds you mentioned are. I don't know why you chose me. Humans are afraid of everything unknown, and so am I. If I can't resist, then I'll just accept it as it comes. There's nothing to be surprised or delighted about."

"Your mentality is very good and it meets our selection criteria. So from now on, you should prepare for the time travel."

Although Chao Yao had never been truly bound, she had taken a look at system novels during her school years.

"Don't you need to bind me?"

"No need to bind, I can just carry your soul away. After completing the mission in a world, you can stay there until you die, and then I will take you away."

"Oh, I see. What if I suddenly die during the mission, or there is no way to complete the mission?"

"I will give you three chances. If you fail in all three worlds, or die halfway, your soul will dissipate in the myriad worlds."

"Wouldn't this be a losing deal? If I go on a mission, I won't get any benefits, and if I fail, I will die without a burial place, and there will be no chance of reincarnation."

"When you travel to countless worlds, you will accumulate various abilities and get various opportunities. Maybe those opportunities will allow you to reshape your body. Besides, even if you don't travel with me, you won't be able to reincarnate. The birth rate in your society is too low. There shouldn't be too many people waiting in line to reincarnate. With your soul strength, you won't be able to wait until the day you reincarnate."

"Will there be different kinds of worlds? For example, the world of cultivation, ancient times, the end of the world, and the interstellar world?"

"Correct."

Chao Yao was a little excited, but he managed to suppress his expression.

"Okay, so what do you think I need to prepare?"

"Is there anything you'd like to take with you?"

"Are you going to give me some space?"

"I can't provide it to you at the moment, because I'm the only one who has the space, and I can't lend it to you. But I can give you the space to the person who chooses the first world. Whether you can bring one over at that time depends on your ability."

"Then why are you asking me what I should take away?"

"As a horticulture graduate, the things you like should be very valuable, so I plan to put them in my space and take them away."

"Thank you so much! I have lived for 24 years and I don't have anything to take away. Just take me to the first world and I will see who owns the space."

"Okay, we'll leave right away."

A flash of white light passed by, and Chao Yao came to a new world.

In her original world, the HR lady who introduced her to the funeral home also learned the news of her death through the funeral home.

The HR lady patted her chest and sighed.

"What a sin, what a sin! I really didn't expect the funeral home to have such great power! How could this child, who was so young, die after only working half a day?"
