Lu Huan was supposed to go to the yamen to hand over the Second Department of the Ministry of War to a few managers until the next Minister Counsellor took office. However, he had asked for sick leave.

He had always been diligent and had never asked for sick leave. These days, he had even risked his life to deal with official affairs. Thus, it was strange for him to suddenly ask for sick leave.

However, it was said that Lu Huan had left the city for some reason last night. It seemed that he had caught a cold on the way back. Thus, the Second Department Minister, who was one rank lower than him, had very quickly asked for sick leave.

At this time, the Minister of War was frowning. He didn't know if he should tell the Zhenyuan General about the truth of the Ninth Princes' background.

Forget it. The Zhenyuan General was a bit rash. It was better not to tell him about this. It was better to first send someone to investigate the truth. When the truth came to light, he would then discuss it with the General.

Last night, if Han Yue hadn't run away from home and gone to sleep at the Monastery of Eternal Spring, he probably wouldn't have found out about this by accident.

Thinking of this, when the servant came to say that Han Yue had woken up, the Minister of War decided to teach her a lesson.

But who knew that Han Yue would be confused. "Father, I went to sleep last night. After I slept, I didn't know anything. How could I have gone to the Monastery of Eternal Spring by myself?"

Han Yue was willful. It wasn't that she hadn't played the trick of pretending to be kidnapped before. Last night, the windows were wide open and there were no signs of struggle in the room. The Minister of War thought that Han Yue had gone to the Monastery of Eternal Spring by herself and left clues to pretend to be kidnapped. He felt extremely helpless and cooperated to bring her back.

But who knew that she would say no?

The Minister of War's expression suddenly changed.

Today, the atmosphere in the Minister of War's residence was solemn and vigilant.

Of course, this was another story.

At this moment, Lu Huan was still in the official residence, staring at the strange translucent curtain that had appeared out of thin air.

He didn't know what it was for the time being, so he called it a curtain.

He called a few servants in the courtyard to come in, but after a while, he had them leave.

Through the confused reactions of these servants, Lu Huan quickly confirmed three things.

Firstly, this wasn't a dream.

Secondly, he was the only one who could see the curtain that had appeared out of nowhere.

Third, the curtains could be pulled out from the right side and could also be closed at will.

This was really inconceivable. If others knew about this, they would probably think that Lu Huan had a mental problem.

Lu Huan stared at the strange translucent object with an unsightly expression on his face. He had the same suspicion in his heart, but the words "Do you want to see the person you miss?" that popped up on the screen kept lingering in his mind, causing him to concentrate. After asking for leave, he closed the door and began to study it carefully.

When the words on the screen disappeared, the room that Lu Huan had seen earlier was revealed.

Lu Huan's brows were tightly furrowed, and he used a scrutinizing gaze to sweep over everything in the room.

He hadn't guessed incorrectly. Right in the middle was a bed, but it was completely different from the carved beds of his own dynasty. Instead, it was a very strange style that Lu Huan found hard to describe. The two pillows at the head of the bed were also very strange. They were very swollen, as if they were stuffed with cotton. No matter if it was the common people or the palace, there had never been such pillows before.

Next to the bed was a very large bronze mirror-like object. It was about three feet wide, but it was much brighter than a bronze mirror. It reflected the other side of the room — Lu Huan suspected that it was a mirror for the time being.

The window was also very strange. Lu Huan knew it was a window because he could faintly see the sunlight coming in from outside and sprinkling on the ground. However, he had never seen the material of the window frame. It seemed to be a kind of silver, but it wasn't completely silver.

The floor, the table, and the chairs all gave Lu Huan a visual impact.

He could roughly guess what those things were, but in his eyes, it was as novel as seeing the moon suddenly fall from the sky.

After Lu Huan carefully examined these things, he discovered that the outside of the room was connected to the main hall — the main hall wasn't very big, but he was immediately startled.

What was that?

There was a black rectangular thing hanging on the wall in the main hall.

Everything was completely new to him. He tried hard to distinguish what those things were.

Then, after looking around the room, he subconsciously wanted to see more places.

However, new words immediately popped up on the screen —

【Sorry, Zaizai. Currently, you don't have enough points to unlock a new section. Please complete the main mission or side mission as soon as possible to unlock the section you want to go to.】

At the same time, this sentence was read out in a mechanical voice.

When Lu Huan heard the two words "Zaizai," his eyebrows twitched. He did his best to ignore this title that made his expression change.

He understood the meaning of this sentence and asked, "What mission?"

Words appeared on the screen —

【Currently, ten main missions have been completed. The eleventh one has yet to be unlocked. Please complete side mission 8: Before you leave, finish all the affairs of the Second Division of the Ministry of War and win the admiration of the managers.】

Although Lu Huan felt that all of this was unimaginable, perhaps it was because his obsession to see the ghost was too deep in his heart. Therefore, he didn't have time to figure out what was going on. He directly put away the curtain and hurriedly rode to the yamen.

He lifted his robe and sat behind the table. Within an hour, he waved his pen and wrote down a solution to all the problems in the Second Division of the Ministry of War's files that had accumulated!

Then, under the astonished gazes of the managers, he came and went without a trace. He galloped onto his horse and rode back to the yamen. Panting, he pulled out the screen from his right sleeve.

The screen seemed to be shocked by his speed. It paused for a moment before new words and a mechanical voice appeared —

【Congratulations on completing side mission 8. Reward points + 2. Currently, Zaizai, you can choose to unlock a new section.】

Lu Huan stared at the screen.

In the next second, a picture popped up on the screen. It seemed to be a map of a city.

Lu Huan looked at the various strange nouns on the map: "school," "hospital," "CBD building," and so on. He only felt that his worldview had been impacted. He opened his mouth slightly and his expression went blank for a few seconds.

He tried to match those nouns with what he understood. "School," did it mean a private school?

As for the string of crooked English letters "CBD," he couldn't guess what it meant at all.

But, wait, Lu Huan suddenly remembered the tiny words on the lantern that the ghosts and gods had given him. There were a few small words that were actually similar to these three small words.

He quickly walked under the eaves and took down the lantern. He compared it to the small, crooked words on the map and found that there really were some that matched!

Lu Huan's heart beat wildly and his blood rushed to his head. The thoughts that had been lost last night were instantly reignited at this moment.

He suppressed his excitement and first put the lantern on the side of the table. Then, he clenched his fists and continued to look at the screen.

For the time being, he didn't know which section to unlock. But when he thought about it, the scene that suddenly appeared on the screen was of that room. There had to be something special about that room.

So, he chose to unlock the area around that room.

Soon, the newly unlocked section appeared on the screen.

That was —

Lu Huan's worldview was once again impacted!

He raised his head and saw that on the long street, there was actually a flat carriage with four wheels rushing past at lightning speed!

And on the long street, the people coming and going were dressed strangely. The women's clothes didn't cover their bodies, and the men's hair was very short. Most of them held a small, long black brick in their hands and were muttering something to the black brick.

Lu Huan's mind was full of doubts, but he remembered what Daoist Cloudroaming had said last night: "You and the person you want to see are not in the same world."

He suddenly understood something.

Could it be —

This was the world she was in?

Those tall buildings seemed to be rushing to the sky, making people feel as if they could pick the stars.

Such tall buildings were absolutely impossible in his dynasty. Even the observatory in the imperial palace couldn't be like this!

Those extremely fast four-wheeled carriages could really be said to be a thousand miles a day. No matter how good a BMW was, it couldn't be that fast.

The objects in the hands of those pedestrians were like the legendary objects that could transmit sound from a thousand miles away. He saw one of them say something to the black brick, and soon, another person on the other side of the street waved at that person.

Lu Huan then remembered the drawings of the cold shelter and greenhouse that the Demon had given him. The contents of those drawings were also very novel. Not only in the Yan Dynasty, but in the entire Four Continents, they had never been heard of before.

Could it be that the world she was in was the future after the change of dynasty?

Lu Huan recalled all the things he had experienced after his encounter with the Demon. Blood rushed to the top of his head, and a thin layer of electricity appeared on the back of his neck. Almost in a flash, he confirmed his guess.

Almost subconsciously, he took a few steps forward, excitedly wanting to go through the translucent curtain and chase after her.

However, his step went straight through the curtain, and he walked to the other side of the house, pouncing on empty air.

At the same time, a line of words appeared on the curtain —

[Hello, Zaizai. Your points haven't reached 200, so you can't unlock the next big gift pack. Please don't be impatient. Please complete more main missions and side missions to increase your points as soon as possible.]

Lu Huan's face suddenly turned pale. He couldn't go to her world?

Although he didn't understand what points were, he roughly understood that he had to do some missions like just now to accumulate enough points to go to her world and see her.

Thinking of this, Lu Huan thought that there was still a glimmer of hope, so he rubbed his face and calmed down.

He continued to understand this brand-new future world.

But …

Lu Huan looked at the people on the street. He didn't understand why these people were all like dwarves. Their limbs were short, their style was strange, and their faces were like steamed buns.

The curtain: [Zaizai, do you want to spend money to switch to the quality of original art? One copper coin can maintain the original art for two hours.]

Lu Huan didn't quite understand what the words "spend money" and "original art" meant, so he touched the "Yes" option on the curtain. Soon, the fog disappeared, and the pedestrians on the street on the curtain all returned to their normal appearances. They were no longer short limbs and ugly steamed buns with faces.

He roughly understood the meaning of the curtain's words.

However, because there were many people on the street, a lot of money was spent in a short while. Lu Huan directly lost a banknote.

Adhering to the principle of saving money, Lu Huan restored the curtain to its original appearance of everyone with short limbs.

What he had seen today was strange enough, inconceivable enough, and shocking enough. Thus, when he saw the banknote disappear into thin air, Lu Huan wasn't that surprised.

However, the world on the curtain looked very big. Where was he going to find her?

He temporarily switched the scene to the room at the beginning. Lu Huan fumbled around, but he was very smart. He discovered that this curtain could actually be touched, and when he touched it, the scene on it would float. Thus, he quickly fumbled around and learned how to switch the interface.

Just as he was thinking about this, the door of the room suddenly opened.

Lu Huan immediately held his breath. His throat was a bit dry as he stared at the iron door. Was it her?

He almost had a feeling of homesickness, like a youth who was about to see his sweetheart. His heart was beating very fast.

Then, the door opened.

A cute little girl with short limbs and a round face walked in. She seemed to have just come back from running outside. Her forehead was covered in sparkling sweat, her eyelashes were thick and curly, and her white cheeks were slightly red. She was very small, and her short legs moved quickly on the ground. She walked into the bathroom and took a towel to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

She was very small, and her hair was tied up in a bundle. It was a hairstyle Lu Huan had never seen before.

— Was it her?

For some reason, Lu Huan had a faint premonition in his heart, but he still wasn't sure.

However, in the next second, he saw the little girl with the round face sit down on a rectangular soft couch in the main hall. She crossed her legs (Lu Huan: … …), and then took out a rectangular black screen brick from her pocket, as if she was planning to do something with it.

"Are you her?" Lu Huan couldn't help but ask, somewhat at a loss.

However, she didn't seem to be able to hear his voice. She just lay down on the soft couch, with a sparkling smile on her face, and opened the brick in her hand.

The brick in her hand suddenly lit up, making Lu Huan's eyelids jump.

In the next second, the image that appeared on the brick in her hand was actually — from Lu Huan's angle, he could see it clearly — actually showing Prince Ning Fu's Firewood Courtyard where he used to live?!

Lu Huan's breathing suddenly quickened.

He suddenly understood something.

— It was her.

The two worlds that Daoist Cloudroaming spoke of —

The brick in her hand should be no different from the translucent screen in front of him. For so long, she had seen and touched him through the small screen in her hand.

She wasn't a ghost, but a woman from another world a thousand years in the future.

And now, perhaps because his obsession was too deep, a screen that could see her had appeared on his side.

— It was her!

Lu Huan's eyes suddenly reddened. He stared at her, letting the screen open to the original art. Thus, the little girl with a bun face on the screen suddenly turned into a beautiful young girl. Her skin was snow white, her hair was jet-black, and there was still some sweat on her forehead that hadn't been wiped away. Her eyes were very bright, her nose was high, and her lips were slightly pursed. She very seriously stared at the brick in her hand.

It was a very strange feeling.

Although it was Lu Huan's first time seeing her, he felt that she was strangely familiar.

It was as if every strand of her hair was as he had imagined.

Separated by a thousand years, he stood in this room, letting the sun outside the wooden window gradually set to the west. His eyes were red as he stared at her on the translucent screen. His heart seemed to have been struck by an electric current, beating heavily.

He never thought that the heavens would really care for him and let him see her.

At this moment, he held his breath, feeling as if time had stopped.

For the time being, Lu Huan still couldn't figure out how she had crossed a thousand years through a screen to accompany him for a year. His mind was a little blank, filled with the joy of finally seeing the person he had missed day and night, as well as the slight feeling of being close to home, not knowing what to do, and blushing with embarrassment.

But she didn't seem to know that he was finally able to see her, as she was still focused on pressing the brick.

Today was Saturday. After Su Xi got up in the morning to help Mother Su buy groceries, she went for a morning run. She was thinking about how depressed Zaizai was last night, so she didn't run much. She rushed home and planned to go online.

Every time this game went online, it would be on the initial screen, so Su Xi had to switch to find Zaizai.

At this time, the sun was setting in the game. She originally thought that Zaizai should be at the government office, but she heard a dialog box pop up above the heads of the two managers, saying that Zaizai was sick today.

Su Xi was shocked. It can't be, did he catch a cold yesterday?

She hurriedly switched the screen to the official residence.

Then, she saw Zaizai standing in the middle of the room of the official residence, looking into the void without moving. His two big black eyes were red, as if he was wronged, but also as if he was pleasantly surprised. In short, all kinds of ecstasy, shock, and ecstasy mixed on his face.

But he didn't move, which made Su Xi think that the game was stuck.

So, Su Xi switched to the courtyard and looked outside. She saw that there were some servants outside who were still cleaning up. There was no card.

At this very moment, Lu Huan's expression froze for a moment as he stared at her in the other world and the image on the brick in her hand —

On her screen, the people walking around in the courtyard were all little people. They were no different from the little people with short arms and legs that she had seen in her previous world. Moreover, there were names above their heads: Manager A, Manager B, Manager D …

And herself —

After her screen switched to the inside of the house, the one standing in the middle was clearly herself. The one with short arms and legs, a huge bun face, and a blank expression was clearly herself!

Lu Huan: …

Why did she look so stupid on her screen?!

And above her head were two huge words:

Zaizai.

Lu Huan finally understood why this screen called her Zaizai.

If it was the same as her side, where she had to spend some money to switch to a normal person's screen, then she must be.

Have. Spend. Money.

After Su Xi confirmed that there was no card, she switched the screen back to the inside of the house. She saw that Zaizai still didn't move, standing there in a daze. His bun face revealed a very colorful and indescribable expression.

What, what's wrong?

Su Xi was inexplicably shocked by him.

She was about to tug at Zaizai to signal that she was here, but she suddenly realized that the number in the upper right corner had reached 102 —

？？？！！！

Su Xi was suddenly shocked. What was going on?

She almost jumped up from the sofa. "Zaizai, what did you do last night?

Why did it suddenly become 102 points?! "

Could it be that he crazily did hundreds of thousands of push-ups last night?!

After she shouted this sentence, she saw Zaizai's eyebrows twitch on the screen.

Then, he seemed to take a step forward and press on the air in front of him.

Then, Su Xi realized in confusion that after a "pa" sound, a cloud of fog appeared on her screen, the cartoon-faced Zaizai suddenly turned into the original art. He became the handsome sixteen-year-old youth, staring at the sky, his eyes faintly red.

She: … …

What's wrong with the game today?

Why did it suddenly become an original art?

She hadn't spent money yet, but Zaizai had turned into an original art?

And it lasted for so long. A full half a minute had passed, and he still looked like a youth.

Su Xi had called Zaizai out of habit, so she casually spent money to change Zaizai's name from "Lu Huan" to "Zaizai."

At this moment, just as she was feeling confused, she saw another "pa" sound on the screen. The name above Zaizai's head suddenly changed into a new line of name —

"The sixteen-year-old Lu Huan who could already marry and have children in the Yan Dynasty."

Su Xi: … …???

There was definitely a bug in this lousy game, right?!
