4 Deaths

After a while, the laughter gradually stopped.

The young man gasped for a while as if he was short of oxygen. Then he couldn't help but say, "The first novel was the experience of that Traverse Ability, right?"

Seeing his father nod, the young man continued to laugh, "He was really unlucky. After crossing the world and figuring out that it was a cultivation world, he was affected by the battle between cultivators passing by and died directly."

"Uh-huh." His father shrugged.

"The second Rubik's Cube user..." The smile on the young man's face did not diminish. He continued, "That unlucky bastard's family accidentally restored Rubik's Cube's second color and crossed into the fantasy world of the physical body cultivation system. In the end, the gravity was too great. Before he could stabilize himself, he was pushed down by the gravity and fell down? Then when he reflexively supported himself with his hand on the ground, his arm was broken because of the gravity. In the end, before he could adapt to the gravity environment, he bled to death..."

"As you can see." Father nodded.

The young man took a deep breath to prevent himself from bursting into laughter again. He then pointed to the third document. "The third unlucky guy is the friend of the second unlucky guy. He entered a sci-fi world and happened to arrive at the end of the biochemical world. He died after catching his breath? Did he trigger any biochemical crisis after his body came back? I don't remember seeing any related news."

"Dozens of people were infected." His father replied, "But it was solved by the emergency team sent by the company. The biochemical virus is nothing in the eyes of 'Fantasy Technology."

"Yes." The young man responded perfunctorily, "Maybe your mysterious boss crossed over Resident Evil."

After receiving a disdainful look from his father, the young man pointed to the fourth novel file and asked, "How did the fourth unlucky person die?"

"After three incidents, Rubik's Cube was noticed by someone. It appeared in the black market and was bought by someone." His father replied, "Then the fourth unlucky person went to the world of the anime system."

"Got it!" The young man continued, "The most unreasonable world system. Any interaction will cause death..."

"That's right." His father also couldn't help but laugh. He opened the fourth novel file and pulled down the page to the end of the text. He pointed to the last paragraph and said, "He stood still on the side of the road. As a result, there was a group of middle school students fighting not far away. In the middle of the fight, a middle school female middle school student threw her schoolbag at her friend. That friend dodged it, but the fourth unlucky person didn't manage to dodge. His neck was directly broken by the schoolbag that surpassed the speed of sound, and he died."

"Alright, I can imagine it..." The young man laughed as he spoke, then pointed to the last novel folder and asked, "Then what about the unlucky guy in the end?"

"After Rubik's Cube' cursed 'four people, it was taken over by us,' Fantasy Technology '." His father shook his head slightly and said, "After that, we were assigned to the research lab to investigate and found this inconspicuous website."

As his father spoke, he pointed at the virtual screen with his chin and continued, "We guessed that as long as someone used Rubik's Cube to cross over, a novel would automatically be generated on this web page. Later, we sent someone to carry out the transmigration experiment and entered a normal world. The world system is similar to the pre-Earth, and it is a normal world without any mystery."

"I understand. It is an urban-type. Then what about the transmigrator?" The youth asked, "Is he dead? How did he get cursed in the normal world?"

"He didn't die. He came back alive." His father shook his head with a smile. "After that, we read the novel file generated by the experimenter's transmigration. We concluded that after the transmigration, as long as we survive the initial outbreak of the curse, everything will be normal after that."

The young man could not wait to listen to his father's introduction. He immediately opened the fifth novel file and quickly browsed through the first chapter. Soon, he learned the inner details.

The fifth time-traveling person also cursed because he appeared out of thin air on the street. Then he was discovered by the national institute of that world… After difficult hiding, fleeing, and fighting, in the end, the experimenter surrendered and thus successfully avoided the beginning of death.

The young man was stunned, but he was not in the mood to continue reading. This was because the fifth novel file was a complete time-travel novel with more than two million words. He could not help but turn to look at his father.

Seeing this, his father tacitly introduced, "The experimental subject stayed in the first world for seven years. After that, he cursed Rubik's Cube to appear again. After the experimental subject restored Rubik's Cube, he went through it for a second time. In the end, the experimental subject traveled for twenty-eight years, crossing four non-mysterious urban worlds and successfully returning."

"How long has it been in the real world?" The young man asked.

"Four days."

"Four days to twenty-eight years." The young man curled his lips and said, "Isn't that a loss?"

"No." His father smiled mysteriously, but he did not continue to keep them in suspense. He said directly, "There is one thing that is not mentioned in these novels and documents. Every time you cross a world, you will be seven years younger."

"Seven years younger?" The young man was surprised and asked again, "Rubik's Cube appears once every seven years, and then seven times younger... Then why is it seven? Also, will the transmigrator be young when he returns to reality for the last time?"

"The first question: Isn't it common knowledge that the six-faced Rubik's Cube corresponds to seven?" The father replied with a smile, "The second question, yes."

The young man no longer paid attention to the number 'seven', but asked curiously, "Then, after going back and forth, didn't the transmigrator become seven years younger after four days?"

"That's right." Father nodded.

"This superpower is really full of wonders..." The young man could not help but sigh. Then, he asked with an inexplicable expression, "But... Father, why did you bring this thing back? Don't tell me you intend to transmigrate?"

"I don't have the leisure to do that." His father rolled his eyes and complained, "After this thing was studied, we found that Rubik's Cube only had one chance to cross over. Moreover, it was an unknown world, and it was a great threat to the life of the time-travel personnel. Therefore, it was useless to' Fantasy Technology '."

"The company did not intend to continue developing it, so it was directly assigned to our laboratory. Among all the laboratory members, only your father, I, lost the coffin* because I raised you, a bottomless pit, so they did not consume many internal points and just threw this thing to me. At least for those dying rich people, it is seven years of life and can be sold for a lot of money."

[*TL Note: Coffin here refers to savings or moneybox.]

"Aren't I going to be an adult tomorrow?" The young man curled his lips and said, "I can earn money to support you in the future."

"Forget it." His father also curled his lips. "You don't need equipment when exploring the universe? You don't need money to buy equipment? You will be an adult tomorrow, and you have to buy an ability awakening potion so that you can speed up your ability awakening speed and probability, right? Wait for you to make money? Just feed yourself first."

"Tsk ---" The teenager obviously disagreed with this.

"Alright, I'm done talking." As his father spoke, he waved his hand to cancel the virtual screen. He then said, "Bring me your file, and I'll add it to it for you. Go to the training room and go to sleep after finishing your evening class. Aren't you going to apply for the 'Universe Exploration Certificate' tomorrow?"

"Got it, got it." The young man replied as he stretched.

Then, he went back to his bedroom to get a copy of the paper and electronic file. He went downstairs and handed it to his father...
