Chapter 1: Crossing Over, Equivalent Exchange
—“Where is this? This isn’t my home.”
Chen Luo patted his somewhat aching head and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling with a somewhat confused expression.
Remembering that last night was a get-together with his colleagues from the company, he drank a bit too much. He got into a taxi unsteadily, and then he couldn’t remember what happened afterwards.
“Th-this .. is.”
Chen Luo, who was slightly sober, took a few steps back in fear after seeing the room clearly, staring wide-eyed at the corpse not far away.
A human figure was lying in a pool of blood, and looking at so much blood on the floor, it had definitely gone cold.
“I couldn’t have fucking killed someone, could I?”
Chen Luo was a little nervous.
What to do? Call the police? This thought was dispelled just as it rose.
In this situation now, even if he wasn’t a murderer, he would still be treated as one.
【Ding, host awakening detected, equivalence trading system officially activated!】
“System? A system from a ?”
Chen Luo’s mind was a bit confused, first seeing a corpse and then binding the system. He couldn’t catch his breath for a moment.
“Wait, how come this corpse on the ground looks exactly like me?”
After taking a closer look at the corpse on the ground, he realised that the corpse on the ground resembled him by almost ninety-nine percent. The twins don’t look this much alike, right?
【System prompt, the world the host is in is no longer the original world, last night when the system bound the host. The host was in danger and the system brought you across to this world in an emergency】.
【This corpse is you from the parallel world, seeing the sudden appearance of you, getting frightened and accidentally falling down and dying when his head hit the corner of the table.】
“The me of the parallel world?”
Chen Luo looked at the corpse on the ground with a very complicated expression, reaching out to check his breathing at his nose, which was indeed already cold.
The floor was covered in blood, this amount of bleeding would be non-human if it wasn’t already cold.
“You said I was in danger before you brought me through in an emergency, what danger did I encounter exactly?”
Chen Luo couldn’t help but ask about the system.
【The host got into a black car yesterday. The driver was a murderer!】
“Holy shit, why am I so unlucky, can you send me back?”
【The host can’t afford to cross back, not for now!】
“System, can you help me get rid of this corpse?”
The smell of blood was so strong, sooner or later he would be discovered, and if he was discovered he would definitely be arrested.
【 This system is an equivalence trading system, if you want to get something, you must pay something of equal value, the host wants the system to help you dispose of the corpse, think about what to take for the trade first, there is no free meal under the sky!】
【 Now the system sees that the host has just crossed over, temporarily free to answer your questions, in the future, if you want the system to answer questions you need to do a deal.】
“Do you have any newbie benefits?”
Chen Luo’s face didn’t look too good, actually asking a question for money? That’s too dark!
【Yes, but the host has already used it, when you were in danger. Taking you through to avoid the death crisis automatically is a newbie benefit.】
“What kind of newbie benefit is this.”
Chen Luo’s face turned even darker.
He was having a good time in his original world, and then he was thrown into a strange world by the system, with his corpse from this world lying on the ground.
“Forget it, I’ll take what I can get.”
“System, what can I trade with on my body.”
【Anything that belongs to you can be traded with the system, such as your life span, soul, seven emotions, the clothes on your body, lighter, etc.】
Chen Luo’s heart moved at his words, then pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked.
“System, does this corpse belong to me?”
【It’s yours】
“I’m a fucking genius, system, this corpse is my trade item.”
【Ding, the host selects a trade item: “A corpse of small value”, please select what you need to trade!】
“Can I choose anything?”
【Host please remember the principle of equal value. As long as the value you pay is large enough, you can indeed choose anything and become the controller of all the worlds, provided you can pay enough value to buy the item!
“Equal value trade, then wouldn’t I earn nothing, you’re such a rubbish system.”
Saying that the system was rubbish, Chen Luo actually knew that it was awesome, depending on how it was used.
“I want to trade all his memories and replace his identity.”
A corpse, trying to trade the power of an immortal god was surely a fool’s errand. He could only trade for what he needed most at the moment.
In an instant, a scale that only Chen Luo could see appeared in front of him, and the corpse on the ground turned into a stream of light and appeared on the left side of the scale.
On the other side, was the memory Chen Luo wanted to trade, a white ball of light.
It was only when the two sides were balanced that the deal was equal.
At the moment, the right side was slightly raised, and the value of the corpse was actually a little higher.
“I thought I had to make up the difference in price.”
Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, then said, “Add the currency of this world until it is balanced.”
On the right side, in addition to the white ball of light, there were two more piles of coins, and then the scales tended to balance.
【Ding, congratulations to the host on the deal】
The corpse disappeared and the white ball of light merged into Chen Luo’s body, and a series of memories made Chen Luo’s head swell a little.
At the same time, there were 20,000 Yuan coins around.
After a long time, it was noon, before Chen Luo absorbed all the memories.
“The parallel world’s me is actually an orphan, but that’s good, it saves me the trouble.”
In the parallel world, his name was also Chen Luo, but his life experience was completely different. The “Chen Luo” in this world was an orphan.
In his original world, he had a pair of nagging but loving parents.
“I hope my dad and mum won’t be too sad, but luckily I still have a brother, so they won’t be left without someone to take care of me even if I disappear.”
The body was traded away, but Chen Luo’s mobile phone, bank card and ID card were all left behind, and after receiving Chen Luo’s memories from the parallel world, he skillfully unlocked his mobile phone password.
“Ugh, so poor.”
He only had a few hundred dollars in his savings, and if he hadn’t gotten 20,000 yuan from the transaction, I’m afraid he would have crossed over to eat dirt.
This world was too miserable for him to live in.
“But he seems to have found a good job, it’s a good thing he is starting tomorrow and not today, otherwise he would have missed work on his first day, I’m afraid he(I) would have been fired.”
The bodyguard job, earning 12,000 a month, was quite a bit higher than his salary in his previous life when he first entered the job market, a job Chen Luo wasn’t about to give up.
Until he found a way to use the system to earn big money, the job definitely couldn’t be given up.
Although he might be able to trade his life expectancy for a large amount of money, according to Chen Luo’s character, he would not trade his life expectancy for money until he was desperate.
He would be willing to trade his life expectancy for money, but unfortunately he was short of money. 20,000 yuan to trade his life expectancy was probably not even a day’s life expectancy.
“How do I clean up the blood on the ground?”
Looking at the puddle of blood on the ground, Chen Luo’s expression was in trouble. It definitely wasn’t that easy to clean up.
It was also a problem to be found, it was hard to explain why a puddle of blood appeared here, the landlord would definitely call the police if he knew about it, the embarrassed Chen Luo thought of the system again.
The corpse could be traded, so the dirty blood on the ground could be traded too, right?
