Chapter 76 The Gift of Reunion
Stepping on the accelerator and drilling into the space passage, there was no steering wheel here, so Zhao Mai fiddled with his mobile phone and finally understood the usage of taxi-hailing software. It turned out that there was also a manual hidden under "About this software". There was a sentence mentioned at the beginning: If you want to receive a time travel order, you must have people, cars, and mobile phones together, and it will be useless to get the same missing one.
The gold coins of fate are the most important props used for driving, either oil or taxes. Anyway, they all mean the same thing. The generation of gold coins of fate seems to be related to the stability of the space world and the complexity of the rules, but the instructions do not write about the specific laws. In short, the tolls in different worlds are different, and the old angel once told Zhao Mai about this.
Since it is a taxi, the pricing can be adjusted according to the actual situation. Such as waiting fees, price increases in space turbulence (rain and snowy days), and accident insurance in war environments, etc., can all increase the driver's income level. But the most important thing Zhao Mai discovered is "returning to the sky".
If you only take one way, the passenger needs to pay the fate gold coins on a double journey. Since the gold coins will be consumed during the journey, the driver cannot get the gold coins, so the driver cannot pay for it to go home. If you go to a world where hardware coins can only reach it, will the driver have to pay out the hardware coins for the return trip?
"Old angel, I'm cheating me, don't you tell me such an important thing?" After browsing the instructions for use, he put his phone aside, and drove attentively. After passing the starry sky passage, the car shook slightly, and then looked up and found that he had returned to the airport expressway.
On the busy highway, no one seemed to notice the sudden appearance of this private car. This may also be the effect of magic? The long-distance bus behind honked its horn and expressed dissatisfaction with Zhao Mai's speed of only 100 kilometers. Since he has returned to the flat road, it is indeed unreasonable to drive it again.
After a few overtakings, Zhao Mai quickly regained his familiar feeling. He opened the map software of his mobile phone and chose to use satellites to adjust the time. After a while, he determined that the time flow rate on both sides was indeed 30 to 1.
No one called him for more than two days, only the cute and conscientious communications company sent a message of condolences and reminded him of the remaining network traffic this month. In a daze, Zhao Mai felt an unreal feeling, as if he had never left. Ashes Lake, Neibo Town and the Wujian Walker Community were just daydreams.
"Wow!" The reserve grain started to scream in the back seat, climbed to the front seat, squatted on the chair and stuck out his tongue at Zhao Mai. That was not a dream, Zhao Mai was sure, it was an extraordinary adventure.
The car did not get off the highway, but turned a corner. Zhao Mai was not in a hurry to go back to his home. He was going to go directly to his parents and send the drug to expel the disease.
After driving for more than six hours in a row, Zhao Mai didn't feel tired at all, maybe because he was home, or because the natural force strengthened his physical fitness. He stopped the car once in the middle and filled the gas tank at the gas station. After returning to the real world, his car began to consume fuel again, and he could clearly feel it when encountering bumps on the road. While refueling, Zhao Mai pressed the engine cover hard, and couldn't press it at all. Maybe it was indestructible, but he really didn't dare to test it. He couldn't drive and hit something to see if it would be damaged, right?
"Mom, are you at home?" Zhao Mai called and tried to calm down his excited voice: "I have a vacation these two days. Come back to see you and you will be home in a while."
"You're home soon? Why didn't you say it earlier? I'll prepare some delicious food for you!" Mom complained in a surprise tone. "You have no plans at all, so you don't have to go anywhere. Now you go home directly. Your father will come back soon, so I'll go buy some vegetables. In the evening, your younger brother and sister don't have to go to evening self-study and come back for dinner!"
"By the way, mom, I'm not alone, I even brought a dog."
"Girl?" Mom was silent for a moment, then said hurriedly: "I know, I know, you don't have to worry, just come back quickly! How old is it, birds singing..."
As he was nagging, his mother hung up the phone.
Zhao Mai took a deep breath, rubbed his nose, trying not to let himself cry. He turned his head and said loudly to the reserve grain: "Dog, there is something delicious tonight!"
The reserved grain was jumping wildly in the carriage, shaking its tongue, splashing its saliva everywhere.
When he got downstairs, he found a corner where no one paid attention to it and parked the car. Zhao Mai took his backpack and pulled the dog home. He still felt familiar here. Before he went out to explore, this was his fortress and his paradise. He threw the straw sandals (his shoes disappeared when they fell into the water) aside, walked in barefoot. Suddenly, he lowered his head and felt something was wrong. His outfit was not normal no matter how he looked.
He was wearing leather armor, linen pants, and a circle of bullets on his belt... Fortunately, these bullets were so big that they were not "real" at first glance. Otherwise, the waiter would have called the police long ago (it might also be called to the doctor, psychiatric department, etc.). He hurried downstairs, removed all the dangerous items, turned home, took out his old clothes, and then started taking a shower.
The reserved grain did not escape this disaster. After struggling for a few times, the puppy also accepted his fate and rubbed Zhao Mai. After troubling each person and a dog for half an hour, it finally became clean and refreshing.
The key was clattering outside, and then the door opened. Dad coughed twice, stomped his feet hard, and changed into slippers. Zhao Mai hurried over and hugged him hard, so that he could vent all his worries, longing, worries and love. Dad looked a little pale, and he hit his son with his fists, gently pushing him away. Then he leaned into the room, then turned his head in confusion and asked, "Your mom said you brought your girlfriend back, where are you?"
"What girlfriend, why don't I know?" Zhao Mai Zhang Er couldn't figure it out. "I didn't come by myself. A friend gave me a dog. I was worried about throwing it at home, so I brought it together. Aliang, come and see my father!"
The reserve grain ran over from the inner room obediently, sat on the ground, sticking out his tongue in a flattering manner, and quickly patting the ground with his tail, like a pile driver. Dad looked like a small animal, and immediately squatted down and stroked it with his big hands. "Why call me dad, he is the same generation as you?"
Uh, I usually say that I am close, but I can't say that, but I can't really count the same degree, right? Reserved grain can be considered brothers, which is fine, but Zhao Mai will never admit that people of the same generation as dogs. Seeing his father having fun with Aliang, Zhao Mai took the opportunity to go back to the house, took out the disease-removing medicine from his backpack, and handed it to his father. "Dad, this is the folk remedy I asked for. How do you feel if you drink it?"
"Have your mother told you?" Dad scratched his face with his index finger. Zhao Mai's habitual movements were inherited from here. "I said, don't let her tell you, so as not to worry. You all have your own lives, and your mother and I can solve the problem."
"Ah, I'm not here to be criticized, Dad, please drink it quickly. If you don't be filial to you, then you will be truly sad, right?"
"Boy!" Dad took the medicine bottle, looked at it, opened the plug and smelled it: "Where did you get the three-no products? Why is it similar to the Qigong water you cheated on back then? I tell you, don't do such a bad way. If you want to cure the disease, you have to rely on a doctor."
"I admit that this was not prescribed by a doctor. That person is a pharmacist... Alas, this is not the point. Just think this is qigong water. It's not harmful anyway, so drink it quickly."
"Don't say it, it smells OK." Dad raised his head and drank all the potion.
