Chapter 1 I am unemployed and have no choice but to explore a different world [seeking investment, seeking further reading]

"Then, by signing this labor contract termination agreement, the process will be considered complete."

"Within three working days, seniority compensation and payment in lieu of notice will be credited to your account."

"About the insurance suspension and provident fund sealing time, you will be notified via text message next week."

In the office, an HR manager wearing black-rimmed glasses and a ponytail was speaking to Chen Xuan with a cold expression.

The agreement in front of me has been signed and stamped with the official seal by the legal representative, only his signature is missing.

In this regard, Chen Xuan didn't say much. He reached for the agreement and read it over slowly. After confirming that there was no trap, he picked up the carbon pen and signed his name.

After waiting for the HR manager in front of him who looked very much like a high school dean to finish his review, both parties took one copy, nodded gently and then stood up and left the office.

Pushing open the tempered glass door, there are several "former colleagues" from different departments waiting to go through the procedures outside.

No one said much, Chen Xuan walked quickly to the elevator with the agreement under his arm.

Affected by the general environment in recent years, the company's operations have become increasingly sluggish.

Economic layoffs were launched last month.

Nearly 200 employees in the company were laid off by 30%.

Passive layoffs and proactive job-hopping are two different things, which itself is also a kind of elimination.

Today's workplace culture is getting worse and worse, and the general environment is getting worse and worse. It is not easy to find a satisfying job.

After walking out of the office building, Chen Xuan looked up and saw that the sky covered by tall buildings only left a sliver of blue, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

After a moment of silence, he took steps towards the subway station surrounding the company.

The pedestrians around me, both male and female, all looked serious and walked in a hurry, as if they had pressed the fast forward button.

Only Chen Xuan walked forward slowly, looking out of place.

He swiped his card to enter the station and waited according to the line. Soon he was on the subway, ready to return to his rental house in the suburbs.

Grasping the hanging ring, his thoughts gradually drifted away...

In Tianhai, a super first-tier city known as the Magic City, the savings he had accumulated after working for four years could not even make up the down payment for a small apartment in the suburbs.

During these four years, he lived frugally and did not dare to indulge himself at all.

I do have some savings, but that's about it.

Compared with the yearning for big cities when he first graduated, Chen Xuan has already accepted his fate.

For an ordinary person with no family background, living in this city makes him truly feel his own insignificance, like an ant in a dense forest.

This is a helpless and desperate reality.

Recalling his great ambition when he just graduated, Chen Xuan only felt ridiculous.

There are too many talented people gathered in Tianhai City. If you want to stand out here, you must either have extraordinary talents, or be a second or third generation person with a strong family background, or a local demolished native.

The Demon City lives up to its nickname, it can swallow people.

I left the subway station in a daze. It was almost dusk outside.

Chen Xuan went to the convenience store with an expressionless face and bought a few cans of beer and a pack of spiced peanuts. He came to the building where he rented, went back to the rental house to put down the agreement, and then went straight to the rooftop.

Don't get me wrong, although he was depressed, he was not so fragile that he wanted to commit suicide.

The quiet rooftop is a relatively independent space.

Whenever he was in a bad mood and needed to vent, he would sit up there with some hops and peanuts, blow in the cool breeze, take a look at the distant view, and relax his thoughts.

In May and early summer, the weather is not too hot.

Chen Xuan climbed up to his old position, opened a can of fizzy beer, and felt a little more relaxed.

After downing several cans of beer, night gradually fell.

Dropping the empty can in his hand, Chen Xuan suddenly let out a breath of turbidity.

His cheeks were slightly red, but his eyes were particularly burning, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"It doesn't matter, I'll go back to my hometown in the worst case!"

"The devil won't even wait!"

After a low roar, the depression in my heart disappeared.

Just when he was about to take out his cell phone and call his parents back home.

The pupils looking towards the night sky narrowed slightly.

I saw a silver line streaking down the night sky.

"meteor!"

This is the first time Chen Xuan has seen a shooting star with his own eyes!

It is indeed beautiful, but not as spectacular and eye-catching as imagined.

The light of this shooting star is not dazzling. It is mixed with a slender silver track under the starry sky. It is just a passing flying star. If you don't look carefully, you can't even trace its trace.

But after staring at it, Chen Xuan noticed something was wrong.

That silver light spot seems to be growing rapidly?

After just a few seconds, he was no longer calm because the light spot was falling towards him!

In just a moment, it went from the size of gravel in the distance to the size of a basketball right in front of you. It is simply unscientific!

It doesn't feel like flying, more like teleporting.

During this period, there was neither a gorgeous fiery red burning special effect nor a sharp and piercing sound. Even the silver light emitted was bright and not dissipated.

Chen Xuan subconsciously wanted to escape, but in the end he was a step too slow.

As soon as he took half a step, the ball of light engulfed him.

On the rooftop of the building, it was like an incandescent lamp with a large wattage suddenly turned on and off, but that was it. There was not much momentum and it failed to attract the attention of others.

On the quiet rooftop, Chen Xuan lost consciousness and fell to the ground unconscious.

Only the imprint of a key dotted with roses appeared on his forehead.

This mark is fleeting and will soon leave no trace.

…

"Well…"

When Chen Xuan woke up with a groan, it was already midnight.

The night is getting darker and darker, and a cool breeze is blowing on the rooftop.

He sat up on the rough concrete floor. He didn't feel any discomfort, but he just felt a little thirsty.

After waking up, the memory quickly returned to his brain, and he remembered the ball of light falling in the sky.

"Good guy, just a few cans of beer won't cause hallucinations."

Because he fell asleep for a while, he began to doubt his memory.

But at this moment, there seemed to be a response to the doubts in his mind.

The light and shadow of a rose key appeared.

Then three more lines of short, dancing, weird fonts emerged in his consciousness.

Perhaps due to the direct effect on the level of consciousness, Chen Xuan clearly did not recognize these words, but he could understand their meaning.

【Crossover】

【Storage】

【Plug-in】

…

Chen Xuan was silent. He concentrated and confirmed that he was awake.

At any rate, he was familiar with various online works, and this breadth of knowledge allowed him to quickly accept the facts.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled to himself.

"It seems that I am unemployed and have no choice but to explore another world!"

These options in your mind can be interacted with through thoughts.

It is not difficult to understand their function just from the literal meaning.

When Chen Xuan used his mind to lock the [Cross-border] option, a new prompt immediately refreshed.

【Crossover】

…

【Naroya Continent】

【(Open the space-time gate)】

[The first cross-border crossing will ensure that the delivery location is selected as a random survivable area]

…

Chen Xuan suppressed the idea of ​​opening the space-time door immediately.

To be on the safe side, sufficient preparations must be made before going [cross-border]!

Otherwise, if you just slap your head and enter another world, you may encounter unknown situations, which will put you in a passive or dangerous situation!

So it’s better to be on the safe side first!
