Chapter 2 Travel through Time Casually

Jack had just run two steps and stepped into the puddle. The scenery around his eyes changed in an instant, and a tall building of one hundred thousand feet appeared from the ground.

"Excuse me." A man who was playing with his mobile phone walked past him, and the sound of countless cars rushed into his mind. Jack looked around in a daze. He was back!

"What's going on?" Jack rubbed his hair irritably. Was he dreaming just now? But when he looked at his hand, He found that the red mark was still there because he hit the wall. It was the smell of the old man.

Jack's mind was in a mess. Did he mean that he could travel from this world to that world and then come back? Or even travel through the world again?

If so, what was the switch to start it? Jack thought for a while and looked at his wet shoes.

Water? By the way, he also touched the water when he jumped into the river, and when he was pulled by the old man to run away just now, He also touched the water.

Jack looked around. It was still early in the morning and the streetlights were still on. It was not raining and there was no water on the road. Jack immediately found a twenty-four-hour convenience store and bought a bottle of coke. He poured half a bottle of coke to the ground and stepped hard on it.

The moment he stepped into the cola, he saw the familiar stone wall again. It was a stone wall of a two-story house. He came to that world again!

He could travel back and forth between two worlds!

A man patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Have you seen four or five people chasing an old man?"

"No" Jack replied without hesitation. He had no enmity with the old man, and he was kindly answered by him. Of course, he could not return kindness with ingratitude.

"OK." The man leaned against the wall and bent his legs back, rubbing off the mud on his boots on the wall. Then he rubbed his wrist. Jack saw clearly that his wrist was bandaged and there was blood on it. But there was no expression of pain on his face.

"I have some hemostatic spray. You seem to need it very much." Jack thought a bottle of coke could change magic. He didn't know what he could get this time.

After asking for his permission, Jack sprayed the spray on the wound. The wound was no longer bleeding.

Then the man took out a few silver coins from his bag and put them in Jack's hands. "Thank you for your treatment. See if 5 silver coins are enough."

'Silver coin?' Jack was a little disappointed because it wasn't magic. But he weighed the silver coins in his hand and guessed that they were probably the common currency of the world. But he didn't know how much it was worth.

But it didn't matter. What mattered was that he thought of a business opportunity!

He had been living in that shitty place in Grady city for so many years and had gone through many dangers with the "Old Street" gang. Till now, he had got nothing but a lot of debts.

Now that God had given him the ability to travel through two worlds, he couldn't waste it!

"Thank you, buddy." With five silver coins in his hand, Jack turned several corners, found a quiet place, and then stepped into a puddle.

As expected, he returned to the city. And this time, it happened to be in the old street.

Was it because every time he came back to the city, the place was different? Random choice?

To have a try, Jack went back to Niles city again, which was exactly the place he had left last time. Looking at the mottled moss on the wall, he thought of his shabby rental house. When he had money, he will move to a premium apartment house.

Stepping into the puddle, He never thought that he would return to his rental house!

What happened? 'Is it possible that I can go back to a place as long as I think of it before I go back to the city? If so, it would be very convenient!'

Jack went back to Niles city. Before he went back to the real world again, he thought of Wesley's bathroom which has a mirror wrapped in gold. Although it was a little risky, Jack decided to have a tryout of disgust with his boss.

Stepping into the puddle, Jack finally appeared in front of the golden mirror. Fortunately, there was no one in the bathroom.

Excellent! He could go back wherever he wanted!

If that was the case, then he could show up wherever he wanted to go to Niles city. Jack thought of the wall he had hit. He fetched some water from the washbasin and poured it on the ground. After stepping in, he still appeared in front of the moss.

It seemed that he couldn't go anywhere he wanted in the Niles city. But that was enough.

Jack began to think about what he could sell in Niles city.

This world did not exist in any period of history. It should be a new world. Before doing business, he must try his best to understand this world.

Jack walked through several alleys to a road where people came and went, and a carriage passed through. There were all kinds of shops on both sides, selling all kinds of goods.

Jack walked into a clothing shop. Someone inside immediately welcomed him. "Hey, young man, welcome to Niles city. What do you want to buy?"

Jack shook his cheap jacket. Since he didn't know the market condition, he could only tentatively point at a vest made of cotton and ask, "How much is this?"

"Good taste, this is just made. 50 copper coins." The man touched the vest and smiled, "You're not local people, so you don't know about it. The tailoring of our shop, Mr.Nolan, is one of the best in Niles city. If you buy cloth and material from other shops, it won't be so good."

'50 copper coins?' Jack didn't know the relationship between the silver coins and the copper coins. So, he tentatively took out a silver coin and handed it to the man. "I want it."

"Okay." After saying that, the man immediately gave Jack 50 copper coins.

It turned out that one silver coin could be exchanged for 100 copper coins.

Jack immediately changed into his new clothes and bought a pair of trousers, so that he wouldn't be strange walking on the street. However, through these two things, he could not know the purchasing power of this world.

So, Jack found a bread seller and asked for the price. The old man who sold bread replied, "Black bread 1 copper coin and 1 pound, white bread 5 copper coins and 1 pound, and horse bread 20 iron coins and 1 pound."

'Iron coins? It turned out that there was another currency in this world.'

"What about this bread?" Jack pointed at the bread with cream.

The man immediately smiled and said, "This is 1 silver coin and 1 pound. It is added with honey, cream, nuts, and the thinnest and best wheat flour. But this is customized by others. If you need it, why don't you also order one?"

Jack frowned and thought, "An ordinary cream bread that needs customizing?" He could buy a lot of bread in any bakery in the city.

"No, No, No. It's too expensive." Jack waved his hand and went to other stores to ask. After asking a lot of questions, Jack felt that the world was backward.

Just then, he saw a nearby meat shop. There was a sign beside the chopping board, which read "Red Forest First-level Horse Leopard".

Horse leopard? Jack went in and asked. Then He found that there have many magical beasts in the world! And some magic hunters were specialized in hunting magical beasts!

Of course, some ordinary people didn't know magic. It could even be said that only a small number of people knew magic.

Jack recalled the old man he met today. He was good at magic, and he had said that he had magic talent. Did it mean that he could learn magic?

Just as Jack was about to ask if there were any organizations similar to a magic school in the world, or where he could find the master he recognized.

At this time, someone patted him on the left shoulder and turned around, but there was no one. A voice came from the right, "Young man, you want to buy meat? How about you buy me some?"

It was that old man!

Jack immediately bought a piece of meat and respectfully gave it to the old man. The old man was very gratified, and his eyes were full of appreciation. Then he winked at Jack and said, "Come on, follow me."
