King from scratch

After those occasional softness and fragility, everything still has to return to the most critical issue at hand.

How long has this short interdimensional dialogue passed for the mainland.

Although the dialogue time is very short, it has no other meaning compared to the random passage of time. After all, before returning to the mainland, no one knows what kind of "surprise" will be opened in the blind box.

After feeling the passage of time, He Tong gave the answer: "Two years."

The scene was quiet for a few seconds, and He Tong continued: "Twenty years have passed in this different world."

He Xingwen took a deep breath.

"This is not bad news," He Tong: "Judging from the changes in the mainland in the past 20 years, the new order you led has worked well without you, and because of the existence of the "catfish" players, the new order Order is still alive with energy and pursuit of science.

At the same time, the 'game' is running normally. Judging from the situation of the main console of the game, although there are some minor disturbances, the player has still successfully become a member of the New Order of the Continent. "

He Tong's voice flowed calmly. For him, the two years really did not cause data fluctuations.

"The second stage of your 'main mission', balancing the number of natives between the mainland and the kingdom, should have been completed."

He Xingwen, who is feeling the complicated emotions brought about by two years passing in the blink of an eye:?

I don't know why he suddenly guessed what He Tong was going to say next...

He Tong said calmly, "Do you need me to help you book a ticket home?"

I... you... um... is it too late to say that I just set a flag for myself just now?

It's not that He Xingwen regretted it in a blink of an eye, it's just that time has passed so fast that everything needs to be reconsidered. For example, if he has been missing for two years, his parents' missing persons notices have been posted all over the country, right?

For He Xingwen, what just passed was just less than an hour of conversation time, but for others, it really happened, two years later without He Xingwen's participation...

He Tong got the answer from He Xingwen's silence, and he brought up the topic thoughtfully: "Then do you plan to go back to the kingdom next?"

He Xingwen thought for a moment, and the topic suddenly jumped: "Am I on Huaguo's missing persons list?"

"In fact, in order to avoid accidents due to the uncertain passage of time, the part of the data I left has been maintaining a stable connection between you and the only contact." He Tong: "Until you return to the mainland, or the only contact until the time when one no longer needs a steady connection."

"Stable connection? How did you do it?" He Xingwen asked subconsciously, "You also cloned me on Earth?"

"After the earth's scientific and technological civilization has entered the age of information media, real contact is not required to maintain stable contact, only stable information exchange and occasional video needs are enough to achieve this."

He Xingwen: "So it's been two years, and my parents haven't found out that the person communicating with them is not their son?"

He Tong said truthfully: "Based on my understanding of you and the ability to evolve information, it would be unreasonable if they could detect abnormalities."

But in general science fiction, it is not written like this...

He Xingwen hesitated to speak, considering He Tong's control over the Internet, he swallowed the redundant question back.

"I have to go back to Earth."

When the world changed, He Xingwen vaguely heard He Tong's voice.

"So, do you want me to book your tickets for you? How about two high-speed rail tickets?"

So, haven't you given up on the idea of ​​going home with me to meet your parents?

Although the time has fast forwarded to two years later, when He Xingwen reappeared in the bedroom, everything around him was still as if he had just played a game for a few hours.

Not as dusty as imagined, the green plants on He Xingwen's window sill are even growing well, lush...

wait?

He Xingwen stared at the lush green plants on his windowsill and asked doubtful questions.

"Why are there these things on my windowsill?"

He searched his memory, and couldn't remember that he had plants before—it was such a large group.

The data was piled up in a human form, and He Tong appeared in front of He Xingwen with a handsome and non-aggressive face, which seemed to have the shadows of many celebrities, but upon closer inspection, he was handsome and very distinctive.

"These plants..." He Tong explained: "Your mother was obsessed with planting flowers and grass before, and bought a lot of them but failed to feed them, so your father secretly sent you the remaining ones that were still alive."

He Xingwen's head was full of question marks: "Why did you send it to me?"

"In order not to be overwhelmed by your mother, don't you happen to be at work? Planting flowers and grass in the office can also protect you from shooting." He Tong added: "This is your father's exact words."

He Xingwen had the illusion that he had traveled to parallel time and space, and he was very unfamiliar with himself in He Tong's words: "Wait a minute? I'm still at work?"

"After you dropped out of school and became obsessed with games for a year and a half—that is, the first two years of your disappearance, I think that according to the unspoken rules of Huaguo society, in order to ensure that your personal image can grow, you should make some changes. So you got a job."

This is too detailed, but also consider the growth of personal image?

He Xingwen suddenly understood why his parents didn't realize that the person they communicated with in the past two years was a fake son...

Who would have guessed this, He Xingwen thought as he glanced at the lush green plants on the windowsill.

"By the way, your father said that if you haven't finished the group merger and procurement case, you don't have to rush back this year during the Chinese New Year..."

It was hard for He Xingwen not to interrupt He Tong's words, and repeat a word that made him puzzled: "Group merger and procurement case?"

"It's like this. After you found a new job, you were promoted to general manager in the first year because of your outstanding personal ability. In the second year, you resigned and started your own business. You started from scratch and built a business empire. Opened the group merger procurement case..."

The more you said the more outrageous, He Xingwen took a deep breath, it was incredible: "You made it so outrageous, my parents still believe it?"

It seems that the conclusion that the elderly are the most deceived people is indeed based on reality. How dare his parents believe such an outrageous lie?

He Xingwen thought that such a thing as building a business empire in one year could only be written in novels.

He remembered that his father was quite energetic two years ago, why did he see signs of dementia in the past two years?

"Objectively speaking, this can't be considered fabricated," He Tong said, "Except for the fact that you haven't had any personal contact with any employee in the company, the group you command remotely is indeed gaining momentum and is preparing to enter..."

He Xingwen and He Tong looked at each other for a moment, then reached for his mobile phone, and opened his balance in a low-key way.

Damn, He Xingwen has never seen so many zeros in his balance in his lifetime.

"This..." He Xingwen glanced at the phone, then at He Tong, and after repeating it several times, put the phone back on the table, and sat tremblingly on the chair: "This is too exaggerated."

He Tong pondered for two seconds, and felt that this should not be considered too exaggerated: "In order to keep a low profile, I deliberately slowed down your entrepreneurial process, so as to avoid becoming the richest man too quickly..."

He Xingwen felt a little lack of oxygen: "Have you even set the final goal?"

"After all, the longer you disappear, the stronger your parents' desire to meet you. In order to avoid problems with your existence because you cannot meet them in reality, you need a suitable and reasonable reason to postpone meeting your parents. Time to meet.

After my analysis, successful business activities and personal prospects can delay the need for your parents to meet you to the greatest extent, and they will support and understand your busy personal career. "

He Tong's explanation was as persuasive as ever, and He Xingwen's mood stabilized a lot.

In fact, compared to He Xingwen's achievements in another world, his mere commercial achievements are really nothing.

But on the other hand, even if the kingdom's warehouse is full of gold, He Xingwen doesn't think it belongs to him. It's really too impactful to face so many zeros on the balance.

After He Xingwen stabilized his mood, he simply browsed through all his social media and found that He Tong's performance was indeed impeccable.

Judging from social media alone, in the past two years, He Xingwen has been busy at work and lived a romantic life. He bought gifts for his family, created surprises, cleared new games, and occasionally felt self-doubt and depression. If He Xingwen hadn’t This memory, I almost thought it was sent by myself.

The image of the characters is full, and the process of the gradual growth of the characters' mentality is clearly visible.

He Xingwen flipped through the communication records, put his phone on the table, and finally made a decision.

"Book two high-speed rail tickets, let's go back to meet my parents, and change my personality as a successful person by the way."

No matter how smooth and reasonable He Tong's explanation is, He Xingwen's career plan does not include the plan of becoming the richest man. What's more, the He Xingwen portrayed by He Tong is not the real him no matter how reasonable he is.

He Tong had no objection. While he was booking the high-speed rail ticket, He Xingwen gave a solution: "Are you planning to close the company's operations? Considering that it has just been supported by government policies recently, I suggest you hand over the company to professionals , set up a charitable fund, and return this part of the proceeds to the society.”

He Xingwen and He Tong stepped into Huaguo two years later.

There was no change in the community, He Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about it carefully, two years is indeed not enough to bring about changes in a stable and orderly society.

With this thought in mind, He Xingwen looked up and saw a group of people flying in the sky on skateboards...

He Xingwen paused, and heard the cry of a child not far away.

"How many times have I said, no damage to public facilities is allowed!"

"I didn't do it on purpose, I accidentally lost control of the ether..."

"Entering the ether sensitive period, go to the ether appeasement area! What are you wandering around in the community!"

He Xingwen followed the sound and saw that the ground in the center of the conversation had an inconspicuous collapse, and there were countless gaps extending far outward, which looked like it was about to collapse...

He Xingwen turned his feet to avoid the dangerous-looking accident area, but suddenly a white shadow jumped by his feet, about knee height, and it was quite fluffy.

What the hell is this?

He Xingwen stared at the place where Bai Ying disappeared with a puzzled face, because the other party was too fast, he didn't see the other party's appearance clearly.

Someone behind said slowly: "Haha, don't run so fast, come back quickly."

The white shadow reappeared from the place where it disappeared, swished past He Xingwen's feet, and stopped beside its master.

As a result, He Xingwen was able to see the other party's appearance clearly.

That's a Samoyed...

Its owner is an old lady who is not young, and the ether fluctuations on her body are very gentle. When she noticed He Xingwen's gaze, she nodded to him in a friendly way, and passed He Xingwen slowly.

Samoyed once again turned into a white shadow, disappearing from the field of vision at a speed that Samoyed shouldn't have.

He Xingwen slowly moved his gaze back to He Tong who was at the side.

"It's only been two years, has the recovery of spiritual energy reached this point?" He Xingwen couldn't fully summarize what he meant by "this point", but this world has not changed at all, on the contrary, it is becoming unprecedented lively.

He Tong: "Although the changes in the world in the past few years were called spiritual recovery, until now, it can be regarded as a real spiritual recovery. Before that, it could only be regarded as a foreshadowing, and the concentration of ether has not crossed that line before the foreshadowing."

"And now, the ether has completely become a part of this world."

He Tong looked at He Xingwen: "What do you think?"

"I don't have any talent for ether." He Xingwen put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly towards the exit of the community: "I haven't taken the classes of mages seriously, and I don't feel much about the changes of ether."

He Tong followed his footsteps, smiled when he heard this, and moved his eyes down to He Xingwen's hand in his pocket.

He reached out and tentatively touched He Xingwen's arm.

He Xingwen, who was walking forward, didn't even look at it, and took his hand behind his back.

Someone on the opposite side cast their eyes on their holding hands, and then shook their holding hands at He Xingwen.

The sun was warm, He Xingwen couldn't hold back, a dimple appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The world has changed so much, not only in the fact that there are more people and animals using, learning, and controlling ether, but also in the process, the changes caused by a series of laws implemented by the country.

At the gate of the community, after swiping the card with the newly registered ID card to go out, He Xingwen flipped through the new ID card over and over again.

Apart from the familiar information on the id card, there was also a line of signs of people with special abilities.

The neighborhood is very lively, because it is adjacent to the school, a small commercial street has been formed here.

All kinds of small toys after the introduction of ether emerge in endlessly, and the column of "Ether basics and exercises" is also added to various exercises, and the most common products are ether guidance tools.

On the streets where people come and go, many people carry related suppressors and guiding tools, which allows the order on the street to be controlled,

Of course, blocking is worse than sparse.

On the other side of the street, some people are floating forward, and some people are having fun. The ether fluctuates on this road, but it seems to be subject to some unknown restriction, which limits the fluctuation to a certain range , without affecting others.

The changes brought about by the increase in ether concentration were orderly incorporated into the old order and became part of the new look of society.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." He Xingwen took out the key and pushed open the door.

In the next second, a certain shadow rushed over with a swish.

"Yaya, come back." Huang Heling stopped the other party in time: "This is your brother, don't rush."

The parrot, which fell back on the shelf, tilted its head and cast its gaze at the stranger.

"Why did you come back suddenly? Didn't you tell the family?" Huang Heling complained, while laughing: "Didn't you say that the company is busy...Huh?"

Huang Heling hurriedly stood up, stopped and glanced at the figure behind He Xingwen: "You brought friends back?"

After He Xingwen changed into slippers, he took a pair for He Tong, and acted like a baby without saying a word: "Mom, I miss you."

"How old are you, and you still act like a baby..." Huang Heling touched He Xingwen's head: "I said it earlier, why do you need to work so hard? There is no shortage of food and drink for you at home. As for working so hard? Money is more The more you earn, but you see how busy you are, and you haven't had time to come back during the Chinese New Year for the past two years..."

He Xingwen patiently listened to Huang Heling's ramblings until she finished a long list and got up to pour tea for He Tong.

"Tell me, did you cause trouble again when you came back this time?" Huang Heling handed the tea to He Tong, and turned her head to show He Tong with an amiable smile: "Xing Wen didn't bring many friends home, so you just treat him as one of them." Your own home, don't be shy."

He Tong took the teacup with both hands, nodded calmly, and drank it down.

When Huang Heling turned her head to look at He Xingwen, her expression instantly turned fierce: "Is there a business problem?"

"Mom, why don't you expect me to order..." He Xingwen muttered.

"Then you have to make people feel at ease. How long did you say you haven't come back?" Huang Heling scolded him, and when she turned her head and saw that He Tong's teacup was empty, she filled it up for him, and said kindly: "You Are you colleagues with Xingwen or..."

He Tong drank it down calmly.

Huang Heling glanced at the empty teacup in the other party's hand, seeing that the other party was drinking in such a hurry, hesitated for a while, and filled it up again.

He Tong calmly drank it down again.

Huang Heling glanced at the teacup, then at He Tong's calm expression, and slowly shifted her gaze to He Xingwen, a certain sign slowly appeared in his expression. When the lightning and thunder were thundering, He Xingwen changed the subject in time: "My dad Woolen cloth?"

"I went fishing. Your dad likes fishing now. In his words, the fun of fighting wits and courage is only when the fish are mastered..." Speaking of this, Huang Heling talked endlessly: "Every morning I just went out, and when I came back, it must be empty. If you want me to say, it’s just a waste of bait... Why are you changing the topic? What kind of friend is this?"

Huang Heling glanced at He Tong, she was no longer amiable, and became inexplicably critical.

"He's pretty handsome, and he's popular with little girls, right? How's work going? Are you married?"

It seems that He Tong's previous worries were not unreasonable.

Even the most enlightened parents will become the same when they encounter this topic.

He Tong cast a questioning look at He Xingwen. He Xingwen coughed and introduced Huang Heling: "This is He Tong...my boyfriend."

The last four words were whispered as if they would disappear as they floated out of the mouth, Huang Heling couldn't hear clearly: "What?"

Yaya, who was combing her feathers, repeated in a straight voice: "My boyfriend!"

The scene fell silent for an instant.

He Xingwen cast his gaze at Yaya, not understanding how the other party inserted the knife so precisely, it couldn't be because it had a high IQ enough to understand the meaning of this sentence, right?

Yaya ignored him, and was still combing her feathers slowly, looking very dignified and elegant.

"Don't you like girls?" Huang Heling's voice raised a few degrees unconsciously: "When I was in junior high school or high school, I told little girls that I would not marry her? Why did you suddenly..."

Huang Heling glanced at He Tong, and tried to lower the volume, so that her emotional ups and downs did not appear too intense: "Find a boyfriend?"

"The main reason is that people are wrong, it has nothing to do with gender. Besides, hasn't our country also passed the same-sex law?" He Xingwen quickly calmed down and argued with Huang Heling: "Mom, you can't discriminate against homosexuals." Bar?"

"I..." Huang Heling took a deep breath and said softly, "When your father comes back, let him tell you."

"It doesn't matter if you know what our father's virtues are, he listens to you anyway..." He Xingwen refused: "You just say it."

"Speak frankly, I have been waiting for so long for my daughter-in-law, you brought me back a tough man, and you want me to speak directly?" Huang Heling, who had always been soft-spoken, stood up, and the storm swept over: "I don't need to Time to adjust your mentality? Do you still expect me to be very happy when I see someone or something?"

He Xingwen's momentum went down in an instant, and he discussed with her in a low voice: "Then you adjust slowly, I just tell you, it's useless to object. I discussed it with He Tong, and then we are going to travel around the world together, yes Alright, if you want to travel around the world with my dad, I'll give you money right now..."

"Travel around the world?" Huang Heling frowned, noticing that things were not that simple: "What about your company? Don't care? I was so busy a few years ago that I didn't go home for the New Year. Now I just travel around the world when I say travel around the world." ?”

He Xingwen stretched out his hand quietly and took He Tong's hand: "Isn't this why I suddenly realized what the most important thing in life is?"

"Love! It's like a ray of light illuminating my world! How can vulgar money compare with him?" He Xingwen said affectionately: "In order to thank God for allowing us to meet, we decided to invest all the company's previous and future profits into charity Fund, contribute an insignificant amount to make society better."

Huang Heling didn't answer, she looked at He Xingwen and He Tong silently, her gaze became sharper.

The longer she was silent, the more guilty He Xingwen felt.

"You don't want to say anything?"

Huang Heling really wanted to say something: "I just said that it was not right for your prodigal son to turn back two years ago. Your father insisted that you are mature. How can I not understand my son? No matter how mature you are, you will not be so mature."

It turned out that it wasn't that I acted too fakely. He Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief and ran the train with his mouth full: "I worked so hard before, mainly to meet him in my later life."

Huang Heling glanced at He Xingwen, then turned to He Tong with a "kind" smile: "Leave him alone, let's talk."

He Xingwen was inexplicably nervous, and hurried over: "Mom~ then I'll listen too..."

Huang Heling showed an amiable expression, and sent He Xingwen: "Go ahead, you go and tell your dad that there are guests at home, and ask him to come back and cook quickly. Anyway, he won't catch any fish, so don't waste time there."

He Xingwen took out his mobile phone and clicked on the address book: "I'll just call my dad..."

"I haven't been back for two years, and I don't want you to meet your father?" Huang Heling glanced at him: "What? How else can I swallow Xiao He alive?"

He Xingwen put back his phone and exchanged a glance with He Tong.

He Tong gave him a calm look.

He Xingwen carefully thought about the gap between He Tong and his mother, and estimated that He Tong could kill his mother sixty times in one minute without losing any blood, so he was relieved: "Then I will go to my father, by the way." , where is my dad fishing?"

"It's just the river you used to go to when you were a child, just follow the river and find it."

He Xingwen went out in a relaxed mood.

As soon as the door was closed, an invisible blade and sword figure instantly appeared inside the door.

"Xiao He, right? Where is your family? How many people are there? How are your parents? How did you meet Xingwen? How long have you known each other? Xingwen has a bad temper..."
