Chapter 1 - The Power of Trading Time

"Master, you have 25 days left in your time balance. If you don't start the first time trade within 25 days, you will die in an accident." "

Listening to the sweet voice in his head, Wu Hao looked confused, as if he had been in a car accident. How did this little girl end up inside her own head? Wait, wait, wait, in the moment of the car accident, when he was spinning freely in the air for 360 degrees, it seemed like he saw an illusory white figure descending from the sky, could it be... …

Damn, did I just get possessed by a little girl?? ?

Wu Hao widened his eyes, looking like he was about to cry but had no tears. Even if his soul had transmigrated, what's with the idea of dying in an accident just 25 days later? Don't play like this, okay?

"It means that the master only has 25 days left, and when time runs out, life will come to an end. However, the master now has the ability to trade time, and can obtain others' time through transactions. By increasing the remaining time, the master's lifespan can be extended." "

I can't believe this girl can still read my mind! ?

Wu Hao looked around and found himself in a hospital ward with no one around.

Are you in my head? Wu Hao tentatively asked in the empty ward, feeling like a lunatic.

I am inside my master's body, hehe, I can feel the thoughts in my master's head. "

The sweet voice in his head made Wu Hao roll his eyes uncontrollably.

I don't care who you are or why you're in my body, but from now on, you're not allowed to peek into my thoughts. "

"Hmm, since Master Brother said so, I won't try to sense Master Brother's thoughts anymore. Is there anything else Master Brother would like to tell me?" "

Is there anything else you would like to say? Fucking said more, Wu Hao sorted out his thoughts and calmed himself down.

I won't ask about the rest for now. You just said I only have 25 days left, but I can exchange time for life by interacting with others. How can I do that? "

Others sell their time to Master Gege, and Master Gege just needs to give them money, but... "

But what? "

However, the balance of the master's time account is zero, so he can't start the first time transaction. "

Hmm? "

In time trading, there are two closely related elements: one is the time surplus, which is the remaining time of the owner, and the other is the time account balance, which is an independent account showing the total funds available for time trading by the owner. The current account balance of the owner is zero, so they need to sell their time first in order to increase the account balance. "

I only have 25 days left and I have to sell my time? Wu Hao let out a howl of despair, this is really going to kill him.

This is just unavoidable, hehe. "

Laugh at your mother, Wu Hao cursed in his heart, but quickly calmed down. Getting angry now would not help at all. He needed to deal with the urgent matter at hand first.

Please explain to me the specific rules of trading hours. "Wu Hao said.

Time trading is bidirectional, you can buy others' time or sell your own time, depending on the needs of the master brother. I just mentioned the two basic elements of time trading. One thing to add is that the time account can not only be used for time trading, but also can function like a bank card in real life, and the funds inside can be used freely. The only difference is that the funds in the time account can only be increased through time trading. "

What about the price? "Wu Hao asked."

"Haha, the master brother is indeed smart. He immediately figured out the key point. In the time trade, whether buying or selling, there is only one base price, which is that the price of one minute of time is not less than one dollar." "

"So, am I free to set the price?" Wu Hao widened his eyes, with a mix of surprise and delight, the problem could be easily solved this way.

That's what it means. "

Wu Haos sighed in relief, a smile of relief on his face. As long as he made good use of these 25 days, he could completely eliminate the danger he was facing.

Put on the clothes, throw the coat over your shoulders, just as you are about to open the door and go out, you bump into a girl head-on.

Wu Hao, you're awake. "

The girl was stunned when she saw Wu Hao standing in front of her, then she excitedly called out and tears welled up in her eyes.

Wu Hao reached out to pull her away. There was no time to watch her get excited when her life was almost gone. After a second thought, Wu Hao stopped and pulled her into the ward.

Wu Hao certainly remembers why he went to the hospital.

During the National Day holiday, after having dinner with two friends, I was walking home alone and saw a girl distributing flyers at the intersection. I was wondering why she was on the main road distributing flyers. Suddenly, a dump truck ran a red light and was about to hit her, the impact would have sent her flying to the other side of the road. Without much thought, I rushed forward and pushed her away. The result of playing the hero was that I ended up getting hit and landed in the hospital.

Xinjie Xu, why aren't you going out to travel on National Day? Are you going to hit the streets to hand out flyers instead? "Wu Hao asked tentatively."

"Don't mention it, I'm just glad you're okay. I thought you would never wake up again." She wiped away her tears and avoided Wu Hao's question, "You just woke up or are you still lying in bed? I'll go call the doctor to come and check on you." "

No, you sit down. Wu Hao asked tentatively, "Are you in need of money now?" "

Xinjie Xu avoided his gaze and said nothing, biting her lips lightly.

Even if you are the campus belle, I don't want to get hurt for no reason. Tell me, what happened in your family? "

Xinjie Xu pursed her lips for a while and said softly, "My mom has a rare disease. To treat it, we have spent all our savings at home. I can't help them much, I just want to lighten their burden a little." "

So you went to hand out flyers? "

National Day comes with a triple salary. "

Wu Hao looked at her, the girl was indeed beautiful, with fair skin and a beautiful face like a flower, but there was a bit of fatigue in her expression. Compared to when he first met her in high school, she seemed carefree and slightly aloof, but now she looked like a phoenix turned into a chicken, down and out.

How much money does your family need? "Wu Hao asked."

I don't know, my mother's illness requires a lot of money. Xinjie choked up as she spoke.

"Make a deal with me, and I'll give you money!" Wu Hao said, since anyone's time can be traded, let's start his first time trade with this girl, anyway she urgently needs money, and he urgently needs time.

You... What kind of transaction do you want to make with me? Xinjie Xu looked at Hao Wu vigilantly, her face turning white and red alternately, not knowing what she was thinking.

Sell me your time! Wu Hao stared at her and said, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated, 'Why does that sound so much like a charlatan's words!?' ?

Sure enough, Xu Xinjie's expression changed instantly.

You... Are you okay? Should I call the doctor to come and check on you? I thought he would say something about how much money his girlfriend gave him, but I didn't expect him to say such a nonsensical thing. Of course, even if he said that, she would still firmly refuse.

I'm not joking with you. One yuan per minute. If you sell your time for a year, you will have over five hundred thousand yuan. Isn't this much better than handing out flyers outside? Imagine your mother lying in a hospital bed in urgent need of money, and all you have to do is spend a little time to rescue her from pain. This deal is definitely worth it, right? "Wu Hao urged."

He looked so serious that Xu Xinjie was taken aback. Was he joking or talking seriously? Can time really be bought and sold?
