Chapter 1: Flesh Transmigration 1979
Chapter 1: Flesh Transmigration 1979
Xu Yang rubbed his sore eyes, saved the last report, and stood up to stretch his body.
It's midnight again.
However, his work was not over yet.
Because, as a part-time online novel writer, he hasn't written a single word today.
Before he started typing, he went to pick up the takeout he had just ordered.
He was stunned when he opened the door.
The sunlight outside was so bright that he could barely open his eyes.
He squinted for two seconds to adjust his vision, and then his field of vision gradually cleared.
A narrow dirt road is lined with tall sycamore trees on both sides, and rows of bicycles are parked under the shade of the trees, with the "ding-a-ling" of bicycle bells ringing out all around.
The men wore gray-blue Zhongshan suits or military uniforms, while the women mostly wore floral shirts or Lenin suits, with either short hair to their ears or two braids.
"Where did they put me?"
"The 1960s?"
Xu Yang shook his head, feeling that it was all an illusion.
Xu Yang glanced at the takeout food hanging on the doorknob, took it down, turned around and went back inside, then casually closed the door.
"Strange, why is there a power outage?"
Xu Yang took out his phone, intending to check the meter box to see if the circuit breaker had tripped.
"The circuit breaker didn't trip, so how can there be no power?"
Undeterred, he prepared to go out and check, hoping it might be a power outage in the distribution room.
When I opened the door again, I was greeted by the blinding sunlight.
This time, Xu Yang finally realized that something was wrong.
The sunlight was shining directly on me, and it felt warm; this shouldn't be an illusion.
He picked up his phone and glanced at it, only to find that it had neither network nor signal.
All signs indicate that the situation is not good.
He hurried to his roommate's door, not caring that it was past 1 a.m. or that there was a difference between men and women.
He knocked on the door a few times and said, "My roommates, please open the door. We seem to be in trouble. We need to come out and discuss how to deal with it."
After knocking dozens of times without any response, Xu Yang tried opening the door.
The door opened smoothly, and with the sunlight streaming in through the entrance door, Xu Yang saw that the room was empty.
His heart sank.
Now there's no one left to discuss and deal with things together.
He took a deep breath, took out the barbecue he had ordered, and ate it as he walked towards the door.
He opened and closed the door hundreds of times, but the sunlight outside remained unbelievably bright.
He closed the door one last time, leaned against the door panel, and slowly slid down to the ground.
"Oh no, Barbie Q is here! I've really traveled back to the 60s and 70s with this house."
As a struggling online novelist who had been writing for three years, he was all too familiar with the "time travel" trope.
"And there's no system, just this rental apartment with no power or water. What are we going to do?"
"If I don't go out, won't I starve or die of thirst in three days?"
"But what if I can't get back to this rented house after I leave? I didn't have legal status in the 1960s. What if I get arrested as an enemy agent? Wouldn't that be acute copper poisoning?"
Xu Yang frowned, looking extremely anxious.
He felt his anxiety was causing his heart rate to spike, and he felt terrible.
He patted his chest, took a few deep breaths, and calmed himself down.
"Forget it, it's come to this now, I should just go to sleep first, saving my life is the most important thing."
"Maybe, I'll fall asleep and find myself transported back to the house?"
Back in his room, he popped a few melatonin tablets into his mouth, then crawled into bed and closed his eyes.
Empty your mind, focus on your breathing, and don't think about anything.
In less than five minutes, he drifted off to sleep.
Xu Yang slept for over twenty hours.
This must be the longest sleep he's ever had since he was a child.
The first thing he did upon waking was to reach out and press the switch on the bedside lamp.
"Still no power. This is bad. Does this mean that someone as handsome as me is destined to only be with girls from the 60s and 70s?"
To be honest, Xu Yang was not averse to time travel; on the contrary, he was quite delighted.
After all, before he transmigrated, he was a nobody, without even a house of his own.
Besides, he not only time-traveled, but also brought with him a 90-square-meter rental apartment. What is there to complain about?
What people pursued back then was simply to have enough to eat, and dating and marriage were relatively sincere. Staying warm was much easier compared to later generations.
Moreover, if we persevere for a while longer, the country will enter a period of rapid development, with opportunities and opportunities everywhere.
By leveraging the trends they know, they can easily achieve financial freedom and completely reshape their own and their descendants' social standing.
Having figured this out, Xu Yang immediately felt much more comfortable and couldn't wait to rush out of the house to the 1960s and 70s.
However, although he was in a hurry, he did not take immediate action.
It wouldn't be right for him to just swagger in like that; his clothes weren't appropriate for the 1960s.
Moreover, his biggest worry was that he wouldn't be able to come back after leaving home.
So when you go out, you need to choose some suitable things to take with you and be prepared for the possibility of not being able to return.
You can't bring too much, since everything in the rented room was something that didn't exist in the 1960s or 70s.
The first things I took were my laptop and the hard drive from my desktop computer.
Since it's impractical to take the entire desktop computer out, you only need to remove the solid-state drive (SSD), and a laptop can access the data on it.
It contains various materials collected by Xu Yang, such as movies, TV series, songs, and novels.
With these, he could dominate the entertainment market and turn it into his own backyard.
Everything else is optional, but I definitely need to bring a laptop and a hard drive.
In addition, he took some personal belongings.
Although razors, water flossers, and electric toothbrushes are all groundbreaking products, he brought them all with him.
It's not just because we're used to them, but because these things incorporate a lot of technological methods.
The technology behind these things was absolutely dominant in the 1960s and 70s.
He doesn't want to put all his eggs in one basket; besides entertainment, he also wants to have a few technological assets in his portfolio.
After all, tech companies are a great safeguard, and they can also improve people's quality of life, so why not?
In addition, he brought all the charging cables, power banks, and various batteries.
Battery technology is also crucial; it's something that could change the world order.
After getting ready, Xu Yang went to the door.
He took a deep breath and opened the door.
The sky outside was hazy and gray, as if it had just begun to brighten.
On the street, there were already two or three pedestrians carrying loads on their shoulders.
He picked up a stainless steel water glass and threw it out the door, intending to test the waters.
The cup fell directly to the ground with a sound after it was thrown.
After observing for a while and finding that nothing had changed, Xu Yang felt relieved and stepped out, entering the 1960s and 70s.
