At 8 pm, people in Zhengyang City were ready to enjoy their dinner.
Feng Jun walked out of the dormitory building and found a small restaurant in an alley. He was a regular diner here.
The consumption level of Zhengyang City wasn’t low, but there were still small restaurants with very common prices deep in alleys in first-tier cities.
Feng Jun normally had a large bowl of fried noodles, a plate of cold tofu, and a chicken drumstick, which were a lot.
However, today, he ordered three full bowls of fried noodles, two vegetarian dishes, and five chicken drumsticks, and later on, he extravagantly added a plate of thinly sliced beef and beef offal to fill his stomach.
In the end, he ordered two more bowls of soup noodle before he finally felt full.
He then paid using WeChat and ignored the restaurant owner’s surprised look.
The second he walked out of the small restaurant, an idea dawned on him. “I just paid using WeChat. Can I go into it as well?”
It seemed that he must figure out what the adventure could bring him as soon as possible.
First of all, he needed to figure out how the adventure happened and whether the phone was changed or if he was changed.
Sitting under a bright street lamp, he carefully looked at his phone, then his left hand. He was left-handed, and his phone was held in his left hand when he was struck by the lightning.
There was slight swelling in his left palm, but he didn’t know if it was left by the lightning or the heavy labor work on the farm.
At least it looked quite normal on the surface.
When he flipped his wrist, he was surprised to find that there was a faint, light blue mark on the forearm near the back of his hand. “No way, where is my stone ring?”
During his internship at the university three years ago, he and his roommate went to Bingzhou City for a few days. In Mountain Long to the east of Bingzhou City, there was a valley off the beaten track. At that time, they were a group of young and energetic college students and went in and played around together.
There was a dilapidated tower in the valley. It was said that it had a history of thousands of years. Feng Jun picked up an indigo stone ring there.
The stone ring was oblate and had an outer diameter of more than two centimeters and an inner diameter of almost three millimeters. It was cool to wear and quite heavy. It was almost as heavy as iron.
This stone ring didn’t have a good appearance, but it had the advantage that it was very cool in summer.
Feng Jun picked it up simply to play with it, and he could leave it behind at any time. However, when he brought the stone ring back to Jiangxia University, he discovered that it could help him cool down in the extremely hot Jiangxia.
The slight coolness was actually a more idealistic feeling. Probably it was just a psychological thing, but Feng Jun hated the heat and thought it was quite helpful. He then wore it with a red string on his wrist and wouldn’t even take it off when he took a bath.
Now, the stone ring was strangely missing, and the red string was also gone. Combined with the light blue mark on his wrist, Feng Jun believed that the stone ring must have undergone a change after receiving the electric shock.
He didn’t know what the change was, but he thought it was highly possible that the stone ring merged with his body.
This explanation was quite unscientific, but an adventure was an adventure!
It wouldn’t be an adventure if science could explain it.
After summing up the antecedents, Feng Jun decisively dispelled the idea of exploring the source. He believed that he wouldn’t be able to pick up such a stone ring again in a short term.
He made up his mind to figure out what this adventure could bring him first. It should be something more than harvest grass in QQ farm.
First of all, he needed to find a place without surveillance cameras and repeat the magical feeling he had just experienced.
He wasn’t sure whether his body followed his consciousness into QQ farm.
In this city full of surveillance cameras, it might cause a lot of unnecessary trouble if a big living person suddenly disappeared in public.
Feng Jun disliked trouble, and he didn’t want to see his adventures robbed by other people.
It wasn’t difficult to find such a place, and the washroom of Hongjie Fitness Club was a good choice.
The thunder and lightning in the afternoon broke the transformer outside Hongjie Fitness Club. Fortunately, it had its own generator. There were also many guests who came to exercise at night, so the generator was running loudly.
Feng Jun didn’t go to work this afternoon. Many colleagues knew it, but no one stopped him from going to the washroom. It was a different age now, and many passers-by came in to use their washroom nowadays, so could he.
The washroom of Hongjie Fitness Club was of great quality in order to match the image of the club. At least it had washroom stalls and doors that could be locked
Feng Jun entered a washroom stall and walked out with a gloomy face half an hour later.
Nothing happened, and he failed to enter the space in QQ farm again. He could only resignedly plant a handful of grass seeds.
He planned to harvest the grass with his hands once more when it was mature.
Anyway, in the past half an hour, he made various attempts, but no surprises happened.
Only 83% of the battery was left in his phone, and the two circles of the percent sign seemed to be a pair of eyes, which were coldly staring at him with mockery.
I’m only a phone. Don’t think too highly of me!
However, Feng Jun was very confident, and he didn’t think the adventure tonight was an illusion.
He must have missed something important!
As a double degree holder, he didn’t lack the spirit of research. In fact, he liked to face all kinds of challenges.
Feng Jun quickly adjusted his emotions, then walked outside the door. Just as he was about to walk out of the door of the club, he met a glamorous woman in her thirties, who was walking quite fast.
The woman was tall with a graceful and curvy figure. She was wearing a light brown office lady summer dress with her beautiful calves and small rounded thighs exposed in the air.
She wasn’t wearing stockings, which proved that she was quite confident about her legs.
Feng Jun stopped and greeted the woman with respect, “Nice to see you, Sister Hong.”
The woman was Zhang Weihong, the general manager of Hongjie Culture and Entertainment Co Ltd. She didn’t like being called Manager Zhang, but she liked to be called “Sister Hong”.
Hongjie Fitness Club was also named after her name.
Zhang Weihong had great influence and connections in Zhengyang City, and her background was extremely mysterious. She couldn’t be a simple woman since she could hold a position in the entertainment industry, or the culture and sports industry, as a stunning beauty.
It was said that Zhang Weihong opened this club in order to give her good female friends a nice place to enjoy themselves. It was their own place, so they didn’t need to restrict themselves. They could also do workouts, which couldn’t be a better idea.
Zhang Weihong gave him a glance when she heard him, but she didn’t make any response as if he didn’t exist at all. She then quickly walked away.
Feng Jun didn’t mind it, because he was already used to his leader’s attitude toward the staff. Besides, everyone knew Zhang Weihong was a super proud woman, and words like “kindness” and “motherhood” were natural rivals to her.
Feng Jun returned to the dormitory and spent another two hours thinking about his cell phone. When the power reached 40%, he squeezed his cell phone under the pillow and fell asleep. The last thought in his mind was that he must buy a charger tomorrow.
He made the decision now, and he would continue to work tomorrow.
The reason was very simple. It was because he wasn’t sure whether the occurrence of the adventure had something to do with the room he lived in now. He wouldn’t move until he figured out why the adventure happened.
Compared with the adventure, the worries he suffered at work weren’t important.
In the early next morning, he came to the club and started the preparatory work before it opened. He needed to turn on the air conditioner and drink dispenser, check on the sanitization, and even clean dirty places.
After all the above was done, it was 7:30 am, and several members were already doing morning exercises.
Feng Jun was going to have breakfast, and so, he walked to the entrance of the club. The young girl at the front desk just walked in from the outside and greeted him when she saw him. “Hey, Double Degree, are you going to buy breakfast? Buy a serving for me.”
The young girl’s surname was Li, and her relationship with him in the past wasn’t bad. Although the nickname of “Double Degree” was somewhat ironic, at least she didn’t call him “Postgraduate”.
Feng Jun hesitated. Instead of being irritated by the nickname, he suddenly remembered there was a mobile phone charger at the front desk, which was a convenient service for customers. Staff at the club occasionally used it too.
Nevertheless, he didn’t open his mouth and asked for the charger. He was going to buy one anyway.
When he finished his breakfast, he brought a serving of breakfast back to Xiao Li. It was almost 7:50 am now, and he had eaten a lot today.
Unfortunately, his old phone wasn’t charged at all today, and there was only 12% power left in it, which wasn’t enough for this morning.
At this hour, some members had already left the gym to go to work. Feng Jun walked in the area he was in charge of and found sweat stains on a treadmill, so he immediately took a rag to wipe it off.
After wiping, he took the rag to the staff room for cleaning, but he suddenly saw a light green mobile phone charger on the windowsill.
This non-mainstream charger was Liu Shuming’s. Someone once laughed at him because of that, but Coach Liu triumphantly replied. “Cuckold others is also something ‘green’. You’re a bunch of losers, and you can’t understand the mentality of successful men.”
Since it was Liu Shuming’s charger, Feng Jun didn’t hesitate to use it. He put one end of the charging cable and plugged it into the phone, then took the charging plug and plugged it into the wall outlet.
The next moment, there was a loud bang, and sparks splashed everywhere.
Immediately afterward, someone outside shouted loudly, “F*ck, the transformer was just repaired. Why did it explode again?”
