Chapter 4

"Sorry, I don't have any money," Li Zhiying replied, "Goodbye."

With that, Li Zhiying turned and left.

Knowing about "The Search for Qin," Li Zhiying naturally had some understanding of Shan Rou, the woman.

She was a woman with brains, talent, and a strong personality.

As the king of the underground boxing ring, Li Zhiying's view of Shan Rou was completely different from Xiang Shaolong's. He admired her talent and ability. As for liking her... she was currently masked, and he didn't know if she was as beautiful as in the novel or looked like she did on TV. Saying he liked her would be a stretch!

Moreover, the treatment Xiang Shaolong received in "The Search for Qin" was one thing, but the treatment Li Zhiying could get was another.

Li Zhiying deeply understood that the advantage of foreknowledge could not be blindly applied, nor could he follow the plot. Otherwise, it would be easy for unexpected things to happen. After all, he was not Xiang Shaolong and could not endure the humiliation Xiang Shaolong experienced.

Since this was the first level of the Infinite Divine Ring, Li Zhiying had to conquer it, rather than be defeated by reality and live a life as bitter as Xiang Shaolong's.

Watching Li Zhiying's back, Shan Rou, who was masked, revealed a thoughtful look in her eyes...

After a while, in a market in the State of Zhao, Li Zhiying appeared on the street.

Many people watched him in curiosity, intrigued by his strange attire.

Li Zhiying frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar seal script.

The world created by the Infinite Divine Ring had solved the language problem for him, but the writing was entirely ancient, and he couldn't understand a single word.

Suddenly, Li Zhiying saw many people trading. Besides using ancient knife coins, they also supported bartering.

Bartering?

As he watched a person trade a horse for just a piece of jade, a smile appeared on Li Zhiying's lips.

Suddenly, he thought of a way to solve his livelihood problem after returning to the modern world.

Modern items were absolutely rare in ancient times, while ordinary ancient items would become very valuable in the modern world.

For example, jade. Unlike gold, which was difficult to sell and could cause legal troubles, jade was always in demand. If you had jade, you wouldn't worry about finding buyers. Otherwise, how could so many people become rich overnight from gambling on jade?

Li Zhiying thought he could bring some glass beads or similar items from the modern world, trade them for things like jade pendants and emeralds in this era, and then sell them in the modern world. Would he ever have to worry about running out of money again?

Entering a lodge, Li Zhiying found a corner where no one was paying attention, and with a flash, he returned to the real world.

As soon as he returned to the real world, the Infinite Divine Ring suddenly sent a message, asking if Li Zhiying wanted to pause the development of that world.

There was a pause function? Great, pause it!

After doing this, Li Zhiying went to the street.

Looking at the sky, he noticed that it seemed unchanged from when he entered the Infinite Divine Ring, which made him puzzled. Could the time in the ring's world be out of sync with the outside world?

After waiting for a moment, a small truck passed by.

Giving 50 yuan for a ride, the truck driver agreed to take Li Zhiying to the nearby town.

Upon reaching the outskirts of Shanhai City, Li Zhiying went to a store to buy a mobile phone and a SIM card. Of course, he didn't use his domestic ID but a passport from a South Seas investor.

After leaving the store, Li Zhiying dialed the phone number left at his old home.

"Hello," a familiar voice came from the phone, "Who is this?"

"Dad, it's Zhiying," Li Zhiying took a deep breath and said, "I'm back."

"Zhiying? Son, is that you?" A surprised voice came from the other end of the phone, "Where are you? Are you really back?"

"Grandson is back? Let me talk to him!"

"Grandson is back? Let me talk to him!"

"Husband, is that your son's call? Let me talk to him!"

Excited voices came from the other end of the phone, and Li Zhiying was momentarily stunned, then a strong sense of longing and warmth welled up in his heart.

It turned out his family had been waiting for him all along, and fortunately, they were all well!

"Stop arguing, I'll put it on speaker," Li Zhenxia's voice came, "Alright, son, you can speak now."

"Where are you?" Li Zhiying asked, "I just got back to the old home and saw the phone number Dad left. I was about to look for you."

"We're in Xiahai City, celebrating your uncle's birthday," Li Zhenxia's voice came, "If we had known you were coming back, I and your mother would have stayed in Shanhai City for a couple more days."

"It's good to be back. We'll come back to the old home to pick you up tomorrow," Li Zhiying's grandfather, Li Dubei, said, "That's great, Zhiying is finally back. I always said that as long as this child didn't lose his memory before the age of eleven, as long as he's alive, he would eventually come back."

At this moment, Li Zhiying's mother said, "Son, how have you been these years?"

The warm greetings from his family made Li Zhiying very happy as he chatted with them.

At this moment, Li Zhiying felt a sense of peace.

This was the life he wanted.

When he reached the city, Li Zhiying bought a motorcycle at a dealership and paid an extra 1,000 yuan to have it registered immediately. While waiting for the registration, he went to a supermarket to buy some canned food, instant noodles, and beef jerky to tide him over.

When Li Zhiying returned to the dealership with a large box, the registration was already complete.

After filling the motorcycle with gas at the dealership, Li Zhiying also got two 10-liter cans of gasoline, tied them to the back of the motorcycle, and drove back to his old home.

When he arrived at his old home, Li Zhiying was about to re-enter the world of "The Search for Qin" and suddenly realized he could freely choose any place he had been to. He was pleasantly surprised.

This meant that in this first level of the world, Li Zhiying could instantly teleport to any place he had visited.

This ability meant that Li Zhiying had an unbeatable trump card.

If he couldn't fight someone, he could just flash away to a few miles away, and the other person couldn't do anything to him. Additionally, if he needed to pass on any information in places he had been, it would only take a second!

With this ability, he would surely be able to navigate the first level of the world with ease.

His identity as a mystic could also be better utilized, making it easier to deceive others.

Thinking about this, Li Zhiying's mood improved greatly.

Leaving the lodge, Li Zhiying wandered the streets, appreciating the unique aspects of the ancient world.

Suddenly, a loud argument came from ahead. Li Zhiying, curious, walked toward the source and saw an old man being chased and beaten by a group of people.

"Please, heroes, spare me," the old man shouted, using the object he was holding to weakly defend himself from the attacks.

However, the young men showed no mercy and continued to beat the old man.

Seeing the young men beating the old man, Li Zhiying couldn't bear it.

"Stop!" Li Zhiying shouted, quickly stepping in front of the old man and loudly said, "The old man has already begged for mercy. You should know when to stop. Whatever the issue, we can discuss it calmly!"
