Test the transmission effect
The teleportation points already set up include his cave in Shuangshui Village, the secret base in Huangyuan City, and a deep part of a park forest in the capital's large compound.
Originally, he planned to find a safe house in the capital, but due to the rush of time, he temporarily set up a spatial coordinate in another corner of the forest.
This was in case he ever needed to go directly to the capital, without needing to open a letter of introduction or buy a ticket.
Since the teleportation bracelet could only be used once every five days, and he hadn't had a proper opportunity to test its teleportation effect before, he wanted to test it this time.
Zhao Dongchuan placed the teleportation bracelet in his hand. It had already been bound when it first appeared, so now he only needed to select coordinates and start the teleportation.
However, he wanted to test another function of the teleportation bracelet, the 'As You Wish Transformation'.
Zhao Dongchuan tried to imagine the bracelet as an antique ring in his mind, and then saw the bracelet continuously transform according to his will, eventually becoming the ring Zhao Dongchuan had imagined.
For a moment, Zhao Dongchuan was overcome with playfulness and began to try transforming it into various shapes: small knife, small sword, jade pendant, spoon, chopsticks, cat, dog, etc.
But slowly, the style began to change, and mini versions of Yui Aragaki and various 'teachers' appeared.
.........
Zhao Dongchuan ended this wonderful experience with a tired mind...
It's better to play with this kind of thing less; it consumes too much mental energy. Although there isn't such a column in his attributes, he knew it must be related to his physique.
After resting for a while, Zhao Dongchuan changed the bracelet back to its original form, checked his watch: 7:25. Then, with a thought, he selected the coordinates: Huangyuan City Secret Base, and initiated teleportation!
Without any warning, his figure instantly vanished. There were no colorful lights, no lightning effects, and no anomalies.
He just disappeared silently.
At this moment, in another part of Huangyuan City, the secret base, back courtyard bedroom.
Zhao Dongchuan appeared silently. He checked the time again: 7:25. The minute hand hadn't moved, but the second hand had.
So, it was basically instant movement, with no time difference in between.
However, it might also be because the distance was relatively short within the same city, so it took less time. Zhao Dongchuan wasn't sure if all teleports were instantaneous.
"Next time, I'll try a long-distance teleport!" Zhao Dongchuan thought to himself.
He looked at the bedroom, which already had some dust. Then he walked to the door and looked at the crack. He had left a strand of hair there when he left, which was impossible to see without careful observation.
The hair was still there, indicating that no one had entered.
Zhao Dongchuan nodded. It seemed Huang Laosan had handled things well; no one had entered without permission.
Although he was confident that he had completely subdued Huang Laosan, he couldn't guarantee the same for his subordinates, so it was still necessary to take precautions.
Zhao Dongchuan listened for any movement and found the surroundings to be very quiet. There should be no one around. He pushed open the door and went into the back courtyard.
He walked around everywhere but found no traces of anyone moving about.
Zhao Dongchuan took out an enamel basin and a rag from his space and went to the back courtyard, where there was a well.
He picked up the bucket tied with a rope, inverted it, and threw it into the well. With a loosening and pulling of the rope in his hand, he quickly filled a bucket with water, poured it into the enamel basin, returned to the bedroom, and began to wipe.
.........
After a while of work, he wiped the room clean and tidied up the bedding. Zhao Dongchuan planned to sleep here tonight.
He hadn't stayed here since he bought it.
Feeling a bit hungry again, as he hadn't eaten enough in the dormitory, he made a few home-cooked dishes in the back courtyard kitchen.
Zhao Dongchuan took out a thermos and a cup from his space.
The thermos didn't contain boiling water; it contained a pitcher of 'draft beer' that Zhao Dongchuan had bought at a restaurant in the capital.
He hadn't seen beer in Huangyuan City, but there was some in the capital's restaurants, though they only sold 'draft beer' in bulk. Bottled 'white label' beer was occasionally sold in grocery stores.
Earlier, when Zhao Dongchuan was strolling around the capital with his system glasses on, he saw several workers pulling a sealed can-like object to a restaurant. The restaurant''s waiter then used a tube to draw the liquid from it into a wooden barrel and carried it to the back kitchen.
Curious, he asked and found out it was draft beer from a brewery.
Immediately, he couldn't hold back and ran directly into the restaurant, filling a thermos full of iced draft beer.
Later, to drink more, he secretly took out all the empty thermoses from his space and bought several more, which made the waiter stare in surprise. Fortunately, Zhao Dongchuan was wearing system glasses and was bold enough not to fear being watched.
Since it was during the Spring Festival, the weather was cold, and not many people were buying, so there wasn't much of a queue. According to the waiter, in the summer when it was hot, the queue could extend to the next intersection outside the shop.
Zhao Dongchuan poured himself a glass of beer. The temperature was still icy cold. The 'preservation' function of his space locked in the fresh taste.
He took a beautiful sip, tsk! tsk! tsk! So refreshing!
"Cool to the core, heart soaring!"
To be able to drink a glass of iced beer in January 1976, that taste was truly inexpressible to outsiders.
.........
After dinner, Zhao Dongchuan, as usual, performed a round of Five Animal Frolics and practiced a set of Seizing Skill moves in the back garden.
By the time he finished, it was completely dark. Fortunately, his eyesight was excellent now, and he could see clearly by the moonlight.
Just as he tidied his clothes and was about to return to the bedroom, a series of urgent footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
"Catch him, don't let him run!!!"
"Stop!!!"
...
The voices of several men and the chaotic footsteps rapidly approached from a distance.
It sounded like a group of people were chasing someone?
Zhao Dongchuan wasn't one to meddle in others' affairs and originally intended to go straight back to the bedroom to sleep, but then a 'bang!' of a gunshot made his heart stir.
What kind of situation was this, using a gun?
Zhao Dongchuan grew a little more interested. With a few agile movements, he leaped onto the top of a rockery in the garden, then lay down and looked out of the courtyard.
He saw several militiamen with red armbands on their left arms holding guns, chasing a man in black.
The man in black was agile and seemed to possess martial arts skills, managing to outrun all the militiamen. Moreover, he constantly changed his position while running, making it impossible for the shooters to aim.
But ultimately, 'random shots can kill even a master.' A militiaman suddenly fired a shot, which happened to hit the man in black's left shoulder. Immediately, the man in black let out a 'grunt' and stumbled, almost falling.
Just when he thought the show was over, something unexpected happened to Zhao Dongchuan. The man in black actually took out a package from his pocket, flung it behind him, and instantly a cloud of smoke arose. It seemed he had used a life-saving technique.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and with the smoke obstructing their view, the militiamen's vision became blurry, and they lost sight of the man.
The militiamen behind them exchanged glances and continued their pursuit.
