Chapter 1 Time Travel
July 15th, Tokyo in midsummer.
Days of rain have washed away the dust accumulated on the streets, but as the sky clears, the remaining rain evaporates quickly, making the air even hotter.
The warm sunlight shines through the half-open blinds and onto the tatami in the room.
Lying on the tatami was a young girl sleeping peacefully. She had soft, light golden hair, and a tall nose under her slender willow-leaf eyebrows. The girl's face is thin and three-dimensional, with obvious European and American white features, but the facial contour is softer and more delicate.
This is a girl so beautiful that you can forget to breathe.
Suddenly, her eyelashes fluttered slowly, her breathing became rapid, and soon she woke up.
"Where am I?" Luo Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, put his hand on his forehead, and looked at this strange environment.
A sharp pain suddenly struck from the depths of her mind, as if a pair of big hands were tearing at her nerves. The past memories were shattered in the severe pain, and another memory she had never experienced was overlapping in her mind. And gradually became one under the weaving of those big hands.
As the pain gradually subsided, Luo Quan finally understood what had happened.
Like the protagonists in countless novels she had read, she traveled through time and space to a girl in a parallel world. This girl was also named Luo Quan. She was a freshman at the University of Tokyo in Japan and had just had summer vacation two days ago.
"I didn't expect that in the parallel world, I would still be a top student..." Luo Quan struggled to get up from the ground, feeling mixed in his heart.
In her previous life, because her parents died early, she grew up in an orphanage. After the age of fourteen, she worked alone in society. She spent seven or eight years in a daze without finding a way out. She hung out with a bunch of bad friends all day long. Living a life of drunkenness and dreams.
Fortunately, God was merciful and gave her a chance to start over again, and it was still such a dream start. The only flaw was that this start was a little off.
"At least the appearance is very good." Luo Quan looked at himself on the phone screen and couldn't help but sigh.
In this life, her father was an English-Japanese man, but his character was as bohemian and free-spirited as the French, and he had romances in many countries. But only in China, I gave birth to the only daughter in my life with Luo Quan's mother.
It is said that children are the anchors of a prodigal son, but Luo Quan's little hook obviously cannot keep a giant ship like her father. On the second day after Luo Quan turned one year old, Luo Quan and her father left without saying goodbye. Fortunately, he left a sum of money before he left, which was enough to support the mother and daughter's livelihood, and they were not scumbags.
When Luo Quan was twelve years old, Luo Quan's mother learned about the heartless man from nowhere, and took her daughter across the mountains and seas to Tokyo.
Although the whereabouts of the heartless man was not found in the end, Luo Quan's mother did not give up. Instead, she stayed in the man's hometown and chose to wait patiently.
Not long ago, Luo Quan's mother received news about her father and flew to an unknown island in excitement. Until now, she has not sent a reply to Luo Quan.
In Luo Quan's impression, such lingering and pathos love stories can only be seen in those vulgar TV series that focus on sadomasochistic love. He never expected that such an infatuated woman actually existed in reality. It's a pity that in the world of love, whoever takes the initiative first will definitely lose. If nothing happens, the cheap mom's long journey to find a husband will most likely be in vain.
But here comes the problem. My mother didn’t discuss it with her before leaving. She just left a sticky note on the door, packed her luggage and passport, and set off. The finances of the family have always been in the hands of her mother. She It doesn't matter if he leaves, Luo Quan's source of income will be completely cut off.
Luo Quan immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed his mother's number, but the reply he received was that he was not in the service area.
"No, you really didn't leave me any money?" After Luo Quan put down the phone, he rummaged through the boxes at home, but except for the 20,000 yen he had saved in the past six years, he couldn't find even a single coin.
The most valuable item at home is probably the iPhone 6s in her hand. It was a gift from her mother when she was admitted to the University of Tokyo a few months ago and cost nearly 100,000 yen! However, Luo Quan would definitely not sell mobile phones unless absolutely necessary.
As for the 20,000 yen on hand, it is only about 1,300 yuan. How long can such a small amount of money last in Tokyo, one of the most expensive cities in the world?
Luo Quan held a thick stack of change in her hand and licked her lips anxiously, thinking about how she should live her life next.
At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Is Miss Luo Ni at home?"
"It's the landlord... What happened! Today is the day to collect rent!" Luo Quan panicked and quickly stuffed his cell phone and change under the tatami, then ran to the entrance and opened the door.
"So it's Luo Quan. Where is your mother?" The landlord was tall, with a beard and a beer belly. He looked like he was in his early forties and seemed to be easy to talk to.
"Mom went on a trip." Luo Quan answered briefly, mainly because he felt guilty and nervous and didn't know what to say.
The landlord rubbed his hands and said, "By the way, Izumi-chan, today is the day to pay the rent. Your mother must have mentioned it to you, right?"
Luo Quan said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry. My mother didn't leave me much money this time. Can you give me two days of grace? I will give it to you as soon as I get in touch with my mother."
"Nani?!" When he heard that he was going to be in arrears with the rent, the landlord seemed to have changed. His voice immediately became louder, and his eyes were as wide as bells, like the evil yaksha in Ukiyo-e: "The entire Adachi City The rent here is the cheapest. It’s less than 70,000 yen a month. It’s such an affordable price that you still have to pay the rent in arrears. How can it make sense! If you don’t want to live there, then move out quickly. There are a lot of them outside. People who want to move in!”
Luo Quan quickly explained: "We didn't mean to default on your rent. It happened suddenly. My mother didn't leave me any money when she left. I can't contact her now. I really don't have any money to give you."
The landlord said angrily: "No money? Then go to Kabukicho. With your appearance, you can get 70,000 yen in just a few hours!"
As the largest red light district in Japan and even Asia, Kabukicho can be said to be famous. Although Luo Quan has never been there, he has heard about it, but can you find any serious work in a place like that?
Regardless of whether the landlord said angry words or not, Luo Quan was already a little angry: "Mr. Landlord, I only have 20,000 yen and a mobile phone on my body now. After paying the rent, I have to drink Mistral tonight. If you really don't want to Wait, I will pledge my mobile phone to you. If your mother calls, just answer it and ask her to call you the money."
After saying that, Luo Quan turned around and went into the room to get his cell phone.
"Wait a minute." Perhaps realizing that what he just said was inappropriate, the landlord stopped Luo Quan with a stern face.
"What's the matter?" Luo Quan turned around and asked.
The unique machismo of Japanese men prevented the landlord from saying anything like apologizing. He just waved his hand and frowned: "Forget it, I'll give you a few more days of grace. Remember, it's only this time."
Before Luo Quan could say thank you, the landlord turned around and went downstairs.
Luo Quan, who returned to the room, sat down on the ground and sighed helplessly: "Seventy thousand yen, where can I get so much money?"
Just when Luo Quan was at a loss what to do, something suddenly came from his mind.

Novice mission: Get at least 100 heat points before 12 o'clock tonight.
Failure penalty: Force the host to debut in Kabukicho. Unconventional methods may make you famous more quickly! ]
If the first half of the system made Luo Quan ecstatic and gave her unlimited hope, the second half simply made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.
"If the mission fails, I will be asked to make my debut in Kabukicho? Is this a personnel matter?" Luo Quan held the phone and was shaking with anger. Of course, a lot of it was because of fear.
After hearing Luo Quan's complaints, the system immediately responded: "People are forced out and don't put pressure on you. How can you grow? Also, I am not a human in the first place."
"You're cruel!" Luo Quan silently raised his middle finger in his heart, and then focused his attention on the traveler-limited gift bag.
"Open that gift bag and see what's inside." Luo Quan said to the system.
"The gift package is opening... Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a three-piece street artist set, high-quality song lottery tickets, guitar expertise, and elementary singing proficiency."
It sounds like a fruitful harvest. Luo Quan said with joy on his face: "Give me everything you can use!"
As soon as she finished speaking, an acoustic guitar, a portable stereo and a microphone appeared out of thin air in front of Luo Quan. The result of drawing high-quality song tickets made Luo Quan dumbfounded because she drew "Lemon".
As one of the most popular Japanese songs in recent years, "Lemon" can definitely bear the word "high quality". Sales exceeded 300,000 in the first week of release. Oricon, Japan's most authoritative music chart, has topped Japan's most authoritative music list for six consecutive weeks. YouTube plays have accumulated 400 million. These data all illustrate its excellence. But it was precisely because it was so good that Luo Quan listened to this song countless times and even learned its guitar tab, keeping every note in mind.
In other words, she could sing this song already and there was no need to learn it again. As a result, a lottery ticket was wasted. Fortunately, she finally mastered the arrangement of this song through the system. If she has the opportunity to produce a single in the future, she won't have to trouble others.
She looked at the time and saw that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. She still had eight hours. Now everything was ready and she had to leave immediately.
