Fragments of Reality and Time Chapter 1

How long does it take to change your life?

Three months ago, Jason Jiang was still a mediocre blue-collar laborer, working hard every day and earning less than 5,000 yuan a month. He wandered aimlessly in a big city like Shanghai like a dog, unable to find a direction or a future.

Three months later, he had accumulated a huge fortune, with a net worth of 10 billion.

Fate could not be more bizarre than this.

Because he was cheating.

I don't know where the favor came from, but after get off work that day, the exhausted Jason Jiang bought a bottle of Erguotou, returned to the narrow and dark basement of less than 15 square meters, drank it and fell asleep, and when he woke up, he had the cheat.

A very simple personal attribute panel.

With it, Jason Jiang completed an epic turnaround in just three months.

The function of the property panel is very simple.

The main thing is to collect skills and improve skills.

Collect knowledge from relevant information and solidify it into skills. The skills you have collected can be upgraded to higher levels without bottlenecks or obstacles through repeated practice until the potential limit of the skill is reached.

The other is the time travel function. This function needs Jason Jiang to activate it actively. It has been three months, and he still hasn't activated it.

In addition, there are 25 skill points, which is roughly a novice gift package - this is consistent with his age. The attribute panel's explanation of skill points is also one point per year.

That is to say, 25 skill points are what Jason Jiang accumulated every year until he was 25 years old - and they are included in the panel.

Skill points are used to directly increase skill levels, with ordinary skills increasing by one point at a time. An ordinary level 0 skill requires one skill point to increase by one level, and a level 10 skill also requires one skill point to increase by one level.

However, one point per level is only limited to ordinary skills. The skill points required to upgrade a high-level skill by one level vary according to the quality of the skill.

At that time, Jason Jiang thought carefully and found that the most urgent tasks were, first, to make money, and second, to have a strong body.

So, I first extracted the skill of "stock trading" from books, online videos and documents, and pinned my hopes of making money quickly on the vast number of "leeks" in the stock market.

Then he used the same method to extract several skills that could enhance the physical strength, and finally chose to focus on improving the [Five Animal Exercises].

He first spent two months studying on his own, trying to improve the levels of these two skills as much as possible. By the third month, he realized that it was becoming increasingly difficult to improve his skills through self-study, so he used his skill points to upgrade these two skills to the highest level in one go.

With his full-level stock trading skills, Jason Jiang made a fortune of 10 billion from the stock market.

The full-level Five Animal Exercises gave him the strongest physique possible.

Now it is as follows:

【Name: Jason Jiang】

[Race: Ordinary human]

Age: 25

[Realm: Human Limits]

[Skills: Five Animal Exercises (5/5) Stock Trading (5/5) Cooking (2/5) 60% Driving (2/5) 51% etc.] (Skills not relevant to the plot are omitted hereafter)

[Skill points: 23 (one point per year)]

【Space-Time Gate (Not Opened)】

Jason Jiang invested a total of 2 skill points in the two skills of Five Animal Exercises and stock trading. They both belong to the category of ordinary skills, or in other words, the skills he has extracted so far are all in the category of ordinary skills.

He spent two months studying on his own to upgrade both skills to level 4 before using the skill points.

After these two skills reached level 4, it became increasingly difficult to improve, with only 5% progress per day. It took 20 days to reach the top through self-practice.

He had been holding back for two months and didn't want to wait any longer.

As for other skills, I don't care.

Skill points were very precious, so he didn't plan to spend them recklessly for now.

With money, people naturally buy houses, cars and enjoy themselves. The great city of Shanghai is full of lights and nightlife. As long as you have money, you can enjoy the best life.

Jason Jiang spent more than 100 million yuan to buy a mansion that he could not even dream of three months ago and moved in with just his luggage. He also bought a luxury car worth several million yuan that was not ostentatious in appearance but low-key and luxurious.

After another thorough makeover, he looked like a decent human being.

In the following half month, I frequented various so-called high-end places, experiencing the joy of spending money like water.

Every day, I lead a strange life, full of sensual pleasures and a dreamlike state.

Until this day, he found his waist a little numb, and woke up from his dream.

"We can't go on like this!"

Jason Jiang clenched his fists and said, "I'm only 25. It's too unambitious for me to sink into despair at such a young age."

He stared at the unopened space-time gate on the attribute panel, and his expression was quite struggling: "I have the full-level stock trading skills. I can see at a glance all the changes of any stock in the next three days, and even the changes after adding various variables. I can't be short of money."

"After spending 1 billion, I can still make 10 billion. After making profits at home, I will make profits abroad. Money is no longer what I pursue!"

"Good wine makes people linger, and beautiful women make people linger, but my kidneys and liver can't take it anymore! It's only been half a month, and my kidneys are numb even though I'm at the limit of the human body. This is not good!"

"I have to have higher aspirations!"

He stared at the unopened space-time gate: "I just don't know what's on the other side of the space-time gate. Unknown things are hard to grasp."

Jason Jiang pondered for a moment and slowly exhaled: "A life that can be seen through at a glance is not what I want. The current situation is that it is difficult to struggle here no matter how rich I am. Therefore, the unknown and mysterious should be what I pursue."

With his mind made up, Jason Jiang silently chanted [Open the space-time gate].

Suddenly, the three words "Space-Time Gate" on the personal panel shone brightly, and some information flooded into Jason Jiang's mind.

[Two-way space-time gate opens]

[Rule 1: Lock the host's time and space point]

[Rule 2: When traveling, you can carry any items that do not exceed the host's weight]

[Rule 3: The space-time ripples caused by time travel will bring some new elements to the host's world]

[Rule 4: After each shuttle is completed, the space-time gate will be in a cooling state for ten days, waiting for the space-time ripples caused by the connecting space-time to calm down, and the next shuttle will be carried out after the cooling down]

[Rule 5: Shuttle is not mandatory. After the cooldown is complete, you can shuttle at any time and anywhere.]

[Warning: There is no specific shuttle protection measure, please prepare before the first shuttle]

Five rules, one warning.

Jason Jiang stared intently, reading the system prompt over and over again several times, word by word.

The rules of cooling time, non-compulsory travel, and carrying items are clear at a glance and need no further explanation. Jason Jiang chewed on the two rules of locking the host's time and space point and causing time and space ripples to bring new elements when traveling.

The so-called locking of the host's time and space point, this one, Jason Jiang understood after careful experience; roughly speaking, if Jason Jiang starts the shuttle at this time, then when he comes back, the time here is still this time, the place is still this place, the time and place remain unchanged.

Conversely, the next time he travels back there, the time and place there will be the same place when he travels back.

Therefore, the time and space point is locked on the host, that is, Jason Jiang.

As for the fact that time travel caused ripples in time and space and injected new elements into Jason Jiang's world, Jason Jiang had not figured out a definite answer to this.

Basically, every time I travel back and forth, Jason Jiang's world will change a little bit; as for what the new element that brings about the change is, I don't know. I have to travel back and forth once and wait for it to manifest itself.

Then came the warning.

It is said that you should be well prepared for the first shuttle because there are no protective measures. The emphasis is on the first time, that is, if something goes wrong or even fails the first time, there will naturally be no future; if the first time is safe, then there is no need to say more about the future.
