Chapter 946 The Merchant Who Hunts Time
Chapter 946 The Merchant Who Hunts Time
Su Yan asked Xiao Mei, "Is it possible to track him using his partner's fingerprint?"
Xiao Mei replied: "Yes, host. 003's tracking mode can track any real entity related to the host."
[003 is tracking Fal.] Su Yan said to 003.
"Yes, host," 003 replied.
Su Yan immediately disappeared from the rose garden.
Pulan arrived after Su Yan disappeared. Looking at the abandoned rose garden, he ordered the gardener to restore it to its original state.
……
On a cold, gloomy street corner, a very young boy, wearing an ill-fitting, dirty, tattered suit, was eating a half-cooked sweet potato.
His cheeks were bulging, but because he was so delicate and beautiful, especially with a red mole at the corner of his eye, his disheveled appearance only added to his pitiful state, making him seem even more pathetic and worthy of pity and sympathy.
Suddenly, rain began to fall from the sky, mixed with hail, which stung painfully when it hit people!
He looked up at the sky, and just then a hailstone hit his mouth. He reacted quickly, caught it, and put it in his mouth.
'Crunch~ crunch~' He chewed it up and swallowed it along with the sweet potato.
Su Yan stood not far away, looking at the young man with unbearable eyes. That was Far!
[Xiaomei, what is Far doing? Is he undergoing tribulation?]
[Little Mei doesn't know, but the host can start their investigation from this world.]
What kind of world is this?
[The Casket World. In the long river of time, countless worlds are born or vanish. But some fragmented civilizations, within the river of time, undergo mutation, giving rise to void time, also known as the Casket World. Time merchants hunt for this void time and sell it to worlds on the verge of destruction at extremely high prices!]
[World time can be bought and sold!?] Su Yan really hadn't thought of that.
Xiao Mei replied: "The greater the profit, the greater the risk. Those who succeed through time often disappear into the flow of time itself."
Su Yan looked around at her surroundings. "Does this world of the water clock also have time merchants?"
Xiao Mei said, "Maybe it's Fal."
Su Yan was stunned. [He's a time merchant? How could that be!]
Xiao Mei replied: [The host can observe this, but such void time can only be used in worlds on the verge of destruction.]
【That makes it even less likely that Fal is him, he never left the Beast World at all... uh!】 That's a slap in the face, Fal is currently in the Mirror World.
Could it be that Far has a side she doesn't know about?
Su Yan watched as Far walked down the street and finally entered a bar. The lights at the bar's entrance flickered on and off, as if there was a faulty connection. There was also a sign advertising for a bartender.
Su Yan transformed into her beast form, but her belly was now large and bulging, making it a bit difficult for her to run. So she asked Xiao Mei to give her Xiao Qi's little skateboard.
Stepping on it makes running or teleporting quite convenient.
She slipped into the bar.
Perhaps because of the rain, even during the day, there are quite a few people relaxing here, with men and women mixed together and smelling of alcohol.
Su Yan spotted Fal at a glance; his appearance was simply too outstanding, and many people were looking at him with lewd and malicious intent in their eyes.
The bar owner handed him a cocktail shaker and a few cheap liquors, telling him to mix his own drink.
Far washed his hands first, then skillfully picked up the cocktail shaker and began to mix drinks in various styles... Before long, a glass of red-orange, dreamy-looking liquor was made.
The bar owner took a sip and immediately nodded. "Three-day trial period, fifty copper coins per day, one hundred after you become a full-time employee. If you agree, go to the back to wash up and change into your work clothes."
“No problem!” Far agreed.
Su Yan followed Far into the staff room behind the bar, where she washed up and changed her clothes under the guidance of a senior employee.
His already exquisite face became even more handsome and captivating, making anyone who saw him momentarily stunned.
A long-time employee joked, "Fal, you won't be here for long."
"Why?" Far asked.
“Because you don’t seem like someone who belongs here at all.” The senior employee turned and left.
Far threw the clothes he had brought into the trash can and went to work.
Su Yan followed him the whole time.
Farr was extremely popular, especially his cocktails, which sold very well.
After a busy day, he started cleaning up after the bar closed.
He was as skilled as if he did this kind of work all the time... In fact, Su Yan had never seen it before. There were palace servants in the royal palace, and if he really wanted to do it himself, he had the talent and skill to do it easily.
Su Yan realized something, "Xiao Mei, can't we use talent here?"
Xiao Mei replied: [Yes, host, but the system's power is sufficient.]
"How do Time Merchants hunt for this Void Time?" Su Yan asked. "Fal can't even use his talent, let alone hunt for it, right?"
[Void Time has a seed-like core. If you break open the outer core and crush the seed inside, Void Time will become a timeline. The Time Merchants hunt for that segment of time.]
Can you find a time-seed nucleus?
[Xiao Mei hasn't scanned anything yet.]
【Hmm, no rush. Let's see what Fell is up to first.】 Could he really be some kind of time traveler?
The bar owner gave Far fifty copper coins, plus thirty copper coins for his bartending commission, and let him stay temporarily in the staff break room, but advised him to find a place to live as soon as possible.
The houses around the bar aren't expensive. Renting a single room costs only about 100 copper coins a month, which is exactly his wages for two days. He should be able to afford it.
After speaking with his boss, Farshe rested in the lounge.
For the next week, he worked at a bar and went out to look for a place to live... He continued working until he found a place and moved in.
Su Yan followed him into the rented room.
The dirty and chaotic environment made it really hard for her to stay.
After cleaning up, Far bought some basic household items and a bag of pet food!
He poured the pet food into the free food bowl, then looked towards the corner of the door and said, "Come out."
Su Yan was right at the corner of the door!
“White mouse, you’ve been following me for several days now,” Farr asked.
Su Yan: "..."
Putting away her skateboard, Su Yan emerged from the corner of the doorway, her round belly clearly indicating that she was pregnant.
"Don't you remember me?" Su Yan asked.
They actually called her the White Mouse!
Far was quite surprised to see that she could speak. "Do we know each other?"
Su Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at him. "I am your wife."
Far chuckled: "...Even if I'm desperate for a girlfriend, I wouldn't stoop to dating a pregnant female rat!"
He pushed the bowl of food towards Su Yan, saying, "Eat."
Su Yan glanced at it, but showed no intention of eating the pet food.
It's not like she's really a pet.
“Your name is Far Saint World,” Su Yan replied.
Far was even more surprised. "How did you know? I've never told anyone my last name. Was I talking in my sleep?"
"You're a time hunter!" Su Yan said again. Actually, she wasn't sure at all; she was just guessing.
However, to his surprise, those words immediately changed Far's expression!
A dangerous and murderous gaze was fixed on Su Yan...
