Bai Yi felt as if he was about to fall apart. He grasped the hand of this strange young man in front of him and burst into loud wails, crying as if his parents had died.
Only he himself knew what kind of excitement and sorrow was hidden in these cries!
This feeling of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, this kind of blood connection like that of relatives...
This feeling... It was like a little loli who had been lost and abducted for many years finally saw her parents who gave birth to her and raised her in a strange place. How touching it was!
He really wanted to immediately throw himself into the arms of this fellow townsman in front of him, snuggle up to him, and let him hold him tight!
°(°ˊДˋ°) °
"Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land! Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land!"
Bai Yi wiped his tears while crying, his voice full of sobs.
"Even just using the navigation can make you travel through time! Turning a corner can make you chased by ghosts, and just dropping by someone's place can get your kidneys removed! Ahhhh!"
"Brother! Do you know how I've been these past few days... Fellow townsman, do you know how hard it's been for me?"
Bai Yi wailed loudly, unable to hold back his sobs.
"I've had my organs removed here and there. One of my testicles has even been removed!"
Ryan's eyes were already red too.
He hugged this hapless fellow townsman and said with choked sobs and teary eyes, "It's okay! We still have one left! We can still keep using it! As long as we're alive, there are infinite possibilities in life!"
How tragic!
It's really so tragic!
I didn't believe it before.
Now that I'm really in a foreign land, when fellow townsmen meet, our eyes are really filled with tears!
Bai Yi wailed and asked, "Brother! Did you also travel through time to this place? May I ask your name, big brother?"
Ryan choked back his sobs and said, "We are both in misfortune! Since we've met, there's no need to ask if we knew each other before. My name is Ryan,I'm from Asia!"What about you?"
Bai Yi cried and said, "What's Asia?"
"..."
"..."
The crying stopped abruptly, and there was silence all around.
Ryan gradually realized that something was wrong.
Under Bai Yi's bewildered gaze, Ryan stood up and kept pacing back and forth in front of him with a frown.
Bai Yi was confused and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Ryan thought for a while and then asked, "Who wrote 'Before my bed a pool of light, Is it hoarfrost upon the ground'?"
When Bai Yi heard this, he almost burst out laughing through his tears, thinking that Ryan was joking with him. He said,
"Of course it was written by [a completely unheard-of name]. Big brother, are you joking with me? We learned this poem in the first grade of primary school!"
Ryan was stunned.
He gradually realized that there was a problem.
Either the guy in front of him was an idiot or was deliberately teasing him.
Or there was really a big problem...
He looked at Bai Yi in front of him and murmured, "Then let me ask you again. Do you know Newton, Einstein, Galileo? If you don't know them, do you know Jordan, Kobe? Or, more familiarly, do you know Jackie Chan?"
Bai Yi's eyes grew more and more confused. Listening to the names he mentioned one after another, he looked completely bewildered.
"Er... Who are those people?"
Buzz—
Ryan's mind went blank, and his expression suddenly became vacant.
[Ryansan value - 50]
...
A few minutes later.
Ryan frowned and carefully compared everything he could think of that was common in his world with Bai Yi in front of him.
And Bai Yi also told everything he knew one by one with a bewildered look on his face.
In his opinion, this senior from another world in front of him seemed to lack a lot of common sense. He didn't even know some ancient historical celebrities that anyone who had received ten years of compulsory education would know.
This was really strange.
And after a more detailed comparison, Ryan finally, blankly, confirmed one thing.
No...
They were not from the same world at all...
Although the world he was in had many similarities to his own world, and even the historical process was roughly the same, it was still not his world...
That country was called Kyushu.
The capital of that country was called Longcheng.
That country had become the largest country in the world decades ago.
That nation was already like a giant dragon coiling in the east.
But...
But...
It was still not his home.
Ryan raised his head and looked up blankly, saying,
"What on earth is going on..."
[Ding! You've triggered a special achievement: Hometown in a Foreign Land. You've gained 200 basic experience points]
[Hometown in a Foreign Land]Special achievement, obtained when you encounter the first "hometown" visitor. Introduction: Perhaps the slightest difference is eternal... You've gained a permanent attribute bonus: All attributes +10, Happiness -10
Looking at Ryan's suddenly vacant expression, Bai Yi was astonished and asked, "Brother, what... what's wrong with you?"
Ryan sat down, grasped his own hair with one hand, and pulled it hard a few times, saying,
"There's a problem."
Then.
Ryan told Bai Yi all the problems he had discovered, told him about the differences between their two "hometowns," and told him all the things he had found out.
And Bai Yi, who learned the truth, was full of shock and surprise on his face.
In other words...
If what he said was true...
Then they... they...
"Although similar, they're different." Ryan said dejectedly.
"It seems that we come from two homelands with the same historical process, but that's your world, not mine."
