"Then, sign this labor contract termination agreement, and the process will be completed."

"Within three working days, the seniority compensation and notice pay will be deposited into your account."

"Regarding the suspension of insurance and the sealing time of the provident fund, you will be notified by SMS next week."

In the office, a human resources manager wearing black-framed glasses and a ponytail said to Chen Xuan with a cold face.

The agreement in front of him has been signed and stamped by the legal representative, and only his signature is missing.

In response, Chen Xuan did not say much, reached out and picked up the agreement, read it slowly, and after confirming that there were no pitfalls, he picked up the carbon pen and signed his name.

Waiting for the human resources manager who looked like a high school dean to review it, both parties took a copy, nodded slightly, and then stood up and left the office.

Pushing open the tempered glass door, there were several "former colleagues" from different departments waiting for the formalities outside.

No one said much, Chen Xuan walked quickly to the elevator entrance with the agreement.

Affected by the general environment in recent years, the company's business has become increasingly sluggish.

Since last month, economic layoffs have been launched.

Nearly 30% of the company's 200 employees were directly laid off.

Passive layoffs and active job-hopping are two different things, which is also a kind of elimination.

The current workplace culture is getting worse and worse, and the general environment is getting worse and worse. It is not easy to find a satisfactory job.

Walking out of the office building, Chen Xuan looked up and saw that the sky was covered by high-rise buildings, leaving only a line of blue, and he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

After a moment of silence, he took a step and walked towards the subway station around the company.

The pedestrians around him, both men and women, all looked serious and hurried, as if they had pressed the fast-forward button.

Only Chen Xuan walked slowly, looking out of place.

Swipe the card to enter the station, wait for the bus according to the route, and soon he took the subway and prepared to return to his rental house in the suburbs.

Holding the ring, his thoughts drifted away...

In Tianhai, a super first-tier city known as the Magic City, the savings he had accumulated after working for four years could not even make up the down payment for a small apartment in the suburbs.

In these four years, he lived frugally and did not dare to indulge himself at all.

There is indeed some savings, but that's all.

Compared to his yearning for big cities when he just graduated, Chen Xuan has now accepted his fate.

For an ordinary person without a family background, living in this city makes him feel his own insignificance, like an ant in a dense forest.

This is a helpless and desperate reality.

Recalling his lofty ambitions when he just graduated, Chen Xuan just felt ridiculous.

Tianhai City has gathered too many proud children of heaven. If you want to make a name for yourself here, you must either be extremely talented, or be the second or third generation with a solid family background, or the local demolition natives.

The Magic City is worthy of its nickname, it will swallow people.

Leaving the subway station in a daze, the sky outside was almost dusk.

Chen Xuan came to the convenience store with an expressionless face and bought a few cans of beer and a bag of spiced peanuts. He came to the building where he rented, went back to the rental house to put the agreement, and then went straight to the rooftop.

Don't get me wrong, although he was in a bad mood, he was not so fragile that he wanted to commit suicide.

The quiet rooftop is a relatively independent space.

Whenever he was in a bad mood and needed to vent, he would take beer and peanuts to sit up there, blow the cool breeze, look at the distant view, and empty his mind.

In early summer in May, the weather was not too hot.

Chen Xuan climbed up to the old position, opened a can of bubbling beer, and felt a little more relaxed.

As a few cans of beer went down his stomach, night gradually fell.

Throwing down the empty can in his hand, Chen Xuan suddenly let out a long breath.

His cheeks were slightly flushed, but his eyes were particularly bright, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Nothing to worry about, at worst I can just go back home!"

"It's better not to stay here!"

After a low roar, the depression in his heart disappeared.

Just when he was about to take out his mobile phone and call his parents in his hometown.

The pupils looking at the night sky shrank slightly.

I saw a silver line falling in the night sky.

"Meteor!"

This was the first time Chen Xuan saw a meteor with his own eyes!

It was indeed very beautiful, but not as spectacular and eye-catching as imagined.

The light of this meteor was not dazzling, mixed with the starry sky, dragging a slender silver track, just a passing flying star. If you don't look carefully, you can't even trace it.

But staring at it, Chen Xuan noticed something wrong.

The silver light spot seemed to be growing rapidly?

Just a few seconds later, he was no longer calm, because the light spot was falling towards him!

It only took a moment for it to change from the size of gravel far away in the sky to the size of a basketball right in front of him. It was simply unscientific!

It didn't look like it was flying, but more like it was teleporting.

There was no gorgeous fiery red burning special effects, no sharp and piercing sound, and even the silver light was bright and not dissipated.

Chen Xuan subconsciously wanted to escape, but he was a step too slow.

He had just taken half a step when the ball of light swallowed him up.

On the rooftop, it was as if a very high-wattage incandescent lamp suddenly lit up and went out, but that was all. There was no excessive noise and it failed to attract the attention of others.

On the quiet rooftop, Chen Xuan lost consciousness and fell to the ground in a coma.

Only a key mark decorated with roses appeared on his forehead.

This mark was fleeting and soon left no trace.

…

"Hmm..."

When Chen Xuan woke up with a groan, it was already midnight.

The night became darker and darker, and the rooftop was "whirring" with a cool breeze.

He sat up on the rough concrete floor, but he didn't feel any discomfort, just a little thirsty.

After waking up, his memory quickly returned to his brain, and he remembered the light ball that fell from the sky.

"Good man, just a few cans of beer, it's not like I'm hallucinating."

Because he had been sleeping for a while, he began to doubt his memory.

But at this moment, it seemed that there was a response to the doubts in his mind.

The light and shadow of a rose key appeared.

Then three lines of short and jumping strange fonts appeared in the consciousness.

Perhaps because it directly affected the consciousness level, Chen Xuan did not recognize these words, but he could understand their meaning.

[Cross-border]

[Storage]

[Plug-in]

...

Chen Xuan was silent, he concentrated his mind and confirmed that he was awake.

After all, he was familiar with various online works, and this cognitive breadth made him quickly accept the fact.

He was stunned for a while, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It seems that I have no choice but to explore the other world when I am unemployed!"

These options in the mind can be interacted with by thoughts.

It is not difficult to understand their functions just from the literal meaning.

When Chen Xuan locked the [Cross-border] option with his mind, a new prompt was immediately refreshed.

[Cross-border]

...

[Naroa Continent]

[(Open the space-time gate)]

[The first cross-border will ensure that the drop location is selected as a random survivable area]

...

Chen Xuan curbed the idea of ​​opening the space-time gate immediately.

To be safe, you must make adequate preparations before [crossing the border]!

Otherwise, if you just rush into the other world, you may encounter unknown situations, which may put you in a passive or dangerous situation!

So it is better to be safe first!
