Nine out of ten gambles will result in loss: After the host activates this skill, if the host participates in any form of gambling activities, he will definitely lose nine games in a row, and he will definitely win in the last game.
Task: Live in Yunmiao Village for more than a year, help Xu Hongdou get out of trouble and get back on his feet (completed); Reward: To be collected.
Zhou Chen chose to receive the reward and received four attribute points, but the reward from the mission was a bit shabby.
A shuttle card and a plot card.
Seeing that there were only these two reward items, he twitched the corner of his mouth, but thinking about the difficulty of this mission, he understood why the rewards this time were so shabby.
Having experienced many film and television worlds, he also understands the importance of these two items.
The shuttle card is so far the only item that he can use to travel back to the film and television world he has experienced. The plot card is also very important. When he encounters a film and television drama that he has never seen, he wants to be forewarned, and the role of the plot card is reflected.
.
This time he traveled to a windy place and didn't do anything big. It was like traveling to another world. It was relaxed, comfortable, and comfortable. There was almost no mess. So after returning, he was in a very good mood.
A little uncomfortable.
During the Spring Festival in China, the festive atmosphere is quite lively. It seems that the management of fireworks and firecrackers has been relaxed a lot recently. Anyway, during the Chinese New Year, many people set off firecrackers in the community. As long as it is not too exaggerated, no one pays attention to it.
The past two years have been very difficult for everyone, due to various factors. Of course, the most serious problem is that many ordinary people have not been able to make money in the past few years. Once people have no money, most of the joys in life will be lost.
It has nothing to do with you. Even during the Chinese New Year, there are still many people who enjoy themselves despite hardship.
Zhou Chen has lived for so many years and in so many worlds, whether in ancient times or modern times, money is indispensable. If people have no money, it will be difficult to live a good life.
During this year's Spring Festival, the Zhou family was also very lively. Zhou Zhiming and Li Congping both invited relatives from both sides to their homes for dinner.
The news of Zhou Chen's fortune seemed to spread around his relatives all of a sudden. Many relatives who had not interacted with each other much in the past took the initiative to visit him during the Chinese New Year and gave him gifts. Their attitude was extremely good.
Many people took the initiative to say hello and chat with Zhou Chen, showing envy and asking for help overtly and covertly.
It just goes with that saying, a poor person lives in a busy city and no one cares about him, while a rich person lives in the mountains and has distant relatives.
Although Zhou Chen didn't like such exchanges, seeing the happy and proud smiles on his parents' faces, he also put on a smile and greeted his relatives together.
In this way, until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, relatives still came to visit, and some relatives took the initiative to invite Zhou Chen and his family to be guests.
During the Chinese New Year, we eat and drink like this. We meet relatives every day, eat and drink, play cards and mahjong, and the day and night are reversed.
Even Zhou Chen has gained several pounds over the past year and has dark circles under his eyes.
Li Luo's family, except for her father Li Ruiyang who came back first, she and her mother did not come back, but planned to wait until after the Lantern Festival before returning.
So Zhou Chen had a lot of free time during this period. In addition to playing with relatives, he also made dinner appointments with many friends.
In just one year, he had not developed many interpersonal relationships, but during the Spring Festival, many friends and classmates took the initiative to invite him, and he suddenly became popular.
After the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival slowly ended, and everyone began to return to normal life. Those who went out to work, those who went to work, and those who lay down were still lying down.
Zhou Chen's own small financial company has been developing well in the past few months under his coordination, earning more than two million yuan. During the Chinese New Year, he also gave year-end bonuses to his employees, three months' salary.
, so the few employees in his company are more active in their work.
He doesn't need to worry about the company's facade, and he doesn't care much about it, because he is already very rich, with tens of millions in his card and so much gold, so for him, his life is now complete.
Don't worry anymore.
Li Luo came back after the Lantern Festival. On the first day back, Zhou Chen asked her to go on a self-driving trip together. Li Luo agreed without hesitation, and then the two of them drove a car and officially set off for the trip.
Because they had already made an engagement, Li Ruiyang and his wife were not too worried and allowed them to go out together.
Zhou Chen and Li Luo's first destination was Ludao, a journey of more than a thousand kilometers, and it took them two days to arrive.
After playing with Li Luo on Ludao for a few days, the one-month rest period given by the system came to an end, and he had to travel through time again.
…………
Zhou Chen woke up again and found himself sitting on a plane. He calmed down and quickly received the memories in his mind.
The memory content this time was not much, and it did not have any impact on him. With his strong mental attributes, he quickly accepted the memory and picked out the parts that needed attention.
He time-traveled into the body of a thirteen-year-old child. His body became smaller, but his name remained the same. He was still called Zhou Chen, and he was a junior high school student in junior high school.
It's May now. Logically speaking, he should be in class at school, but at this time he is sitting on a plane.
It turns out that not long ago, his parents in this world passed away in an accident. He no longer had any close relatives in the country and became an orphan.
Fortunately, he had no relatives at home who could raise him, but he had a second grandfather abroad, his grandfather's younger brother. The second grandfather learned that he had no relatives and became an orphan, so he rushed back from abroad.
Take him to live abroad.
Now, sitting next to him is an old man in his early sixties, his second grandfather, and their flight is to San Francisco, United States.
His second grandfather is Zhou Guoxing, who lives in Chinatown in San Francisco. The reason why he is willing to adopt him is not only because they are related by blood, but also because he has no children and only has one wife.
Therefore, after Zhou Guoxing met Zhou Chen, he was very kind to him and regarded him as his own grandson.
It is now 1995, and I had been living in Denghua Hutong in Dongcheng, the capital.
Zhou Chen glanced at Zhou Guoxing, who was resting with his eyes closed beside him, and keenly discovered that Zhou Guoxing's dress should be relatively fashionable in this era. He also wore a Rolex, wore famous brands, and had a very good temperament.
In addition, their current seats should belong to the first class cabin of the plane.
He judged that his second grandfather, whom he had never met before, should have good conditions. He was not like a laborer struggling to make a living abroad, but more like a successful person with social status.
After traveling through so many worlds, this is Zhou Chen's first time traveling on a plane, and it is also his first time traveling abroad.
Having temporarily figured out my current situation, the next step is to know which film and television world I have traveled to.
"System, open the panel."

…………
Nine out of ten gambles will result in loss: After the host activates this skill, if the host participates in any form of gambling activities, he will definitely lose nine games in a row, and he will definitely win in the last game.
Thirty years of turmoil: Live in this world for at least thirty years and be a successful person who contributes to society and is helpful to the country.
Side missions:
College Love: People who enter college without falling in love are destined to be singles. The host is asked to choose one of the four girls in dormitory 213 of the 2001 class at Beiqing University to fall in love with (Xie Qiao, Wang Ying, Xiao Qianxi,
Xu Lin).
Qin Qian's regret: Qin Qian longs to marry Tan Hui and is willing to be with him for the rest of her life, no matter how rich or poor she is.
I saw three tasks released by the system, one main task and two side tasks.
Especially the main mission, Zhou Chen fell into deep thought. To be honest, after doing so many main missions, this main mission is really deep enough.
He has contributed to society and is helpful to the country. It seems that the system has discovered that he is a person of noble character and good character, so it issued such a task.
There are also two side tasks, which makes Zhou Chen very happy. After all, the more tasks, the better the rewards after completion.
It's just that these two side tasks made him feel speechless. They were both related to the relationship between men and women.
The second one is to ask him to be the Yue Lao?
Could it be that the system discovered that his god-level Yuelao skill had not been used much, so it was planning to give him a chance to use it?
Several of the names that appeared in the mission were familiar to him. Xie Qiao and Qin Qian were both his childhood friends who grew up together in Denghua Hutong. Among them, Xie Qiao was one year younger than him and Qin Qian was one year older than him.
They are all quite familiar with each other.
There was also Tan Hui, he also had an impression that he seemed to be a famous gangster in Denghua Hutong.
As for the other three women who would share a dormitory with Xie Qiao in the future, he didn't know them.
Beiqing University, as soon as he heard it, he knew it was the top university in the country. It was this name that made him want to complain.
In fact, compared to traveling to the ancient world or the world of martial arts, he feels that tasks in the modern world are relatively easier to complete, because his current abilities and knowledge are enough to deal with most things.
Zhou Chen thought about the names that appeared in this mission for a long time. In the movies and TV dramas he had watched, these people did not seem to exist.
In other words, the film and television world that I travel to this time may be a film and television drama that I have never seen.
Fortunately, he has long been used to it and is not surprised. Now that the system task has appeared, he can use the plot card.
It also takes a long time to get from the capital to San Francisco. They had just flown and had nothing to do, so Zhou Chen directly used the plot card and started to look at the plot of the film and television world he was in.
‘Zeng Shaoyou’!
This is a TV series called Zeng Shao Shao. He happens to know the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and is very familiar with them, Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao.
Zhou Chen directly watched it at double speed. When he arrived at his destination and got off the plane, he had already watched more than 20 episodes.
How can I put it, the plot of this Zeng Boy is richer than that of the previous film Where the Wind Is.
A Place with the Wind actually doesn't have much of a plot. It's basically a relaxed routine from beginning to end. There's no sense of pretentiousness or twists and turns of bitterness, and the time span is not that big.
In comparison, Zeng Shaonen's time span is relatively large, and he has experienced more things. Although the number of episodes is less than that of Going to a Windy Place, the content is actually richer, and the male and female protagonists even live and die several times.
crisis.
Overall, this is a youth love TV series.
After watching more than 20 episodes, he also knew that Xie Qiao would be admitted to Beiqing University in the future. He also knew that dormitory 213 would be Xie Qiao's future dormitory. The four girls in the side mission were also the love targets required by the system, and he needed to choose
Order one.
The four girls in Xie Qiao's dormitory all have their own unique personalities, but if they were to fall in love, they would definitely rule out Xu Lin first without hesitation.
Damn, even if he doesn't complete this side mission, he won't attack Xu Lin. It's not discrimination, but Xu Lin really doesn't meet his vision. He wants to fall in love, not find a brother.
"Xiao Chen, this is America. From now on, you will live here with the second grandpa and the second grandma."
Zhou Guoxing awakened Zhou Chen from his thoughts.
"Thank you, Grandpa Er."
When you walk out of the airport, you will see people of all colors outside. As one of the largest cities in the United States, San Francisco is naturally much more prosperous than in China now.
Even in 2020, many Chinese people will still be proud to go abroad, let alone now in 1995, especially when this is still one of the most prosperous cities in the United States.
San Francisco's Chinatown is definitely one of the largest Chinatowns in the world. Not only does it have a long history, but its scope is also very large. The Chinese here also have a certain say in the city, at least slightly better than other cities.
Zhou Chen has been to this city many times, so even though it is now 1995, he is not very unfamiliar with it.
But now he is only thirteen years old and a child who has never been abroad, so he must learn to hide himself.
Zhou Guoxing took Zhou Chen out of the airport, but they didn't take a taxi, but a private car, and someone came to pick them up.
As soon as he arrived at the car, Zhou Chen saw an aunt in her forties who came to greet her.
"My dear, you are back. Is this child Xiaochen?"
Looking at the aunt hugging his second grandpa Zhou Guoxing, Zhou Chen's expression changed slightly. He felt that this aunt was his second grandma?
It seems that the second grandfather still has some tricks. He is in his sixties and his wife is only in her forties and has two brushes.
Zhou Guoxing said: "Ali, this is Xiaochen. Xiaochen's name is Second Grandma."
Tao Li covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I have grown up too fast in my generation. Now I am a grandma? And I have such a big grandson?"
Zhou Chen was even more speechless. Zhou Guoxing was already over sixty years old anyway, so he could still accept being called grandpa. But for Tao Li, they were probably only thirty years apart, so now they had to be called grandma?
But there was no other way. With his seniority here, he could only pinch his nose and admit it.
"Second Grandma."
Tao Li smiled and said: "Good boy, this child is so handsome. Xiaochen, from now on, you will live with your second grandpa and grandma. We will be your biological grandparents."
She had been with Zhou Guoxing since she was a teenager. They had been together for more than 20 years and still had no children, so they gave up long ago.
Now suddenly there is a cousin grandson with a close blood relationship, which is a great thing for the old couple. It means that in the future they will have someone to take care of them and have an heir.
Foreign countries may not pay too much attention to things like pension and inheritance, but for the Chinese, this is a very important matter.
Many people have no children, so they adopt orphans for the purpose of providing for the elderly and passing on inheritance.
How can an adoptable child compare to a child who is biologically related to oneself?
Especially since Zhou Chen's parents and relatives are no longer here, they are Zhou Chen's closest relatives, so there is absolutely no problem in raising him as his biological grandson.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Guoxing attaches great importance to it and travels thousands of miles to pick up Zhou Chen in China regardless of his age.
"Let's go, get in the car first and take Xiaochen to see his new home." Zhou Guoxing waved his hand and asked Zhou Chen to get in the car.
After getting on the bus, Zhou Guoxing told Zhou Chen: "Xiao Chen, it's your first time to go abroad and you don't know much about foreign countries. There are still big differences between here and at home. The same goes for going to school. There are big differences, but don't
Don't worry, I will help you arrange these, and you will study in a school within our Chinatown area."
"Okay, Second Grandpa," Zhou Chen replied.
"You don't have to worry. With me here, even if you fail to study, it doesn't matter. Anyway, my money and business will be left to you from now on, which will be enough for you to live on. If you want to do something, you can follow me."
Hearing this, Tao Li hurriedly stopped her: "Don't come up with blind ideas. Xiaochen is just that old. He wants to study, go to college, become a lawyer or a doctor. How can he join society with you? Don't lead Xiaochen into trouble."
Zhou Guoxing laughed loudly: "You are right. In this land of America, lawyers and doctors are indeed good jobs. What I just said is when you can't go to school."
"Xiao Chen looks so smart. How could he not be able to read correctly? He will definitely succeed in the future."
Tao Li looked at Zhou Chen expectantly. She is only in her forties this year. If Zhou Chen succeeds in studying in the future, she will be around sixty years old. As long as Zhou Chen can be successful and filial, in the future she will be at least
If you have someone to die with, you might be able to enjoy your old age and see your great-grandchildren.
Listening to the conversation between Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li, Zhou Chen was thoughtful. Before, he felt that Zhou Guoxing had a different kind of toughness, but he didn't expect that the second grandfather was actually a gangster.
But then I thought about it, and it was normal. Zhou Guoxing came to San Francisco more than thirty years ago, and every time he studied, if he wanted to survive here at that time, he probably had no choice but to join a gang.
Zhou Guoxing lives in Chinatown. The house is a two-story Western-style building with a yard. The family also employs servants and drivers. The conditions are indeed very good.
A few days later, Zhou Chen adapted to his current residence and environment. Seeing that he adapted so quickly, Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li were very happy.
Originally, they were worried that Zhou Chen would have difficulty adapting to a strange place, especially a foreign country. But now Zhou Chen surprised them. He didn't look like a thirteen-year-old child at all. He adapted very quickly and learned English very quickly.
.
Zhou Guoxing has already arranged a school for Zhou Chen, and he will be able to enroll in school soon.
After a few days of getting to know each other, Zhou Chen also knew what his second grandpa did. Zhou Guoxing was a senior member of the Huaqing Gang in Chinatown. He was very powerful in Chinatown in San Francisco. When it came to Mr. Zhou, most gang members would
give face.
Zhou Chen was very surprised by Zhou Guoxing's identity and status. Zhou Guoxing reached this level by himself, and it was all achieved through hard work, which can be regarded as a miracle.
As Zhou Guoxing's 'grandson', Zhou Chen clearly felt that the neighbors around him were very polite to him. From this, Zhou Guoxing's prestige could also be seen.
Having such an elder is a strange thing for Zhou Chen, and it is something he has never experienced before.
If you are in China, such an identity will definitely have a great impact, but overseas, such an identity can save a lot of trouble. At least you don't have to worry about being bullied in a foreign country. This is also the biggest reason why many Chinese stick together.
Zhou Chen naturally does not dislike Zhou Guoxing for being a member of a gang, but feels that this can bring him a lot of convenience. This is a ready-made network of people, and most of them are compatriots, so they are definitely more trustworthy than those foreigners.
With the support of Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li, Zhou Chen lived a very stable life abroad. He also used the power of his second grandfather to develop his own business.
If he wants to complete the main mission and contribute to society and the country, he must first strengthen his own strength, which is not a particularly difficult thing for him.
Because he now has a very good starting point and backing, coupled with his ability, it is only a matter of time before he develops and grows.
…………
Time flies, stars change, time flies, and six years have passed.
San Francisco International Airport!
Six years later, Zhou Guoxing was nearly seventy years old, with gray hair, but he was still in good spirits and in good health.
There are some wrinkles on Tao Li's face. After all, she is over fifty. No matter how much she takes care of herself, her age is still there, but compared to Zhou Guoxing, she still looks much younger.
"You kid is really good at Stanford University, but you insist on going to Beiqing as an exchange. After all this time, we won't be able to see you for another half a year."
Tao Li arranged Zhou Chen's clothes and then grabbed Zhou Chen's hand with a look of blame and unhappiness on her face.
After six years, she has already regarded Zhou Chen as her grandson. They have been living together in the past few years. Even though Zhou Chen was admitted to Stanford University, he would go home every month.
But now Zhou Chen is going back to China to be an exchange student at Beiqing University, and they won't be able to see each other for at least half a year. Naturally, she is inseparable.
Zhou Guoxing listened to his wife's words and took the initiative to say for Zhou Chen: "Xiaochen hasn't returned to China for six years. Since he wants to go back, let him go back and see. The child has grown up, and we can't keep him by our side forever.
The eagle always has to fly alone."
Tao Li glared at him and hummed: "Xiaochen is no longer a young eagle. He has made more money in the past few years than you will make in your entire life."
Zhou Guoxing looked embarrassed. Although he was a big boss in the eyes of many people, in terms of making money, he had to admit that even if he was a flatterer, he could not compare to his grandson. With the wealth he had accumulated over decades, Zhou Chen could only
After using it for more than two years, it has doubled several times.
In his eyes, there is no difference between his grandson and the economists and stock gods on TV. In fact, he is better.
"Xiao Chen, you can use the money in your card however you like. You earned it anyway. At worst, you can earn it after you have spent it."
After knowing Zhou Chen's earning power, Zhou Guoxing completely let go. As long as Zhou Chen wants to spend money, he can spend the family's money as he wishes.
Zhou Chen replied: "I understand, grandpa."
After several years of getting along, he established a deep friendship with Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li. In order to show their closeness, he stopped calling them second grandfather and just called them grandparents.
"After I returned to China, I went to my house to have a look. Your alley has been demolished. With the money, I have bought you two houses nearby. Knowing that you want to go back, I have already had one of them renovated. If you don't want to live in the school,
, just go and live there.”
Zhou Chen's return to China was actually mentioned to them last year, so Zhou Guoxing started making arrangements in advance.
"Thank you, grandpa."
"When you return to China, if you see a girl you like and pursue her, your grandma and I will tell you to get married early and raise your children."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I will try my best, but you will definitely not be able to escape the matter of raising a great-grandson."
Although Zhou Guoxing is nearly seventy years old, his body is strong and he has no serious illnesses. If he takes good care of himself, he will have no problem living for another ten years. Not to mention Tao Li, who has just turned fifty.
When it was time to board the plane, no matter how reluctant they were to leave, Zhou Guoxing and his wife could only watch Zhou Chen leave.
Until Zhou Chen could no longer be seen, Tao Li finally couldn't help but shed tears and wiped her tears.
"If I leave, I won't be able to see her for half a year. I really can't bear to leave."
In the past few years, she had become accustomed to Zhou Chen's company, and most of her emotions were devoted to Zhou Chen. Now that Zhou Chen suddenly left, she was the most reluctant to part with him.
Zhou Guoxing hugged his wife and said: "If the child wants to go back, let him go back and have a look. Didn't he also say that he will definitely come back to accompany us in the future? Let him go back to China to study for a few years. When he comes back, we can think of a way."
Helped him immigrate."
"Actually, not only him, but also me want to go back to our country. After all, it is our ancestral land. If we leave in the future, I still want to let Xiaochen take my soul back to my hometown."
"What are you talking about? You are in good health now. Xiaochen said more. If you want us to help take care of your great-grandson in the future, you have to take good care of your health." Tao Li scolded dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, you are right, taking good care of your body is the most important thing."
…………
Zhou Chen, who was sitting in the first class cabin of the plane, calmly accepted the service from the stewardess and declined the stewardess's small note.
Flying in first class, being young and handsome, he naturally caught the eye of some stewardesses, but unfortunately, he had no intention of having a romantic relationship.
He was admitted to Stanford last year because there was a cooperation and exchange between Stanford University and Beiqing University a few years ago, so this year he used some tricks to get an exchange student qualification to go to Beiqing University.
The reason why he wanted to go to Beiqing was of course for his own mission. After all, this year was already 2001, and the story of Zeng Shaojun was about to begin, and he couldn't miss it.
The journey of more than ten hours was not too stressful for Zhou Chen, who was traveling in first class. He closed his eyes and rested, and the time passed quickly.
After setting foot on the land of his motherland again, Zhou Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although it was the same air, he just felt that the air of his motherland made him feel at ease the most.
He was also very familiar with the capital city of 2001. After calling a taxi, he went directly to Beiqing University.
It was already September, and the freshmen of Class 01 had already arrived at school one after another, waiting for the opening ceremony on September 5th to end, and then military training would begin.
Zhou Chen has been an exchange student since his sophomore year and is not a freshman, so naturally he does not need to participate in any military training.
I came to the school and met the school leaders. The school leaders were very enthusiastic about him, an exchange student from Stanford University, and specially arranged a single dormitory for him.
Zhou Chen naturally accepted it happily. He has rich life experience and naturally knows that class exists everywhere. As an exchange student from Stanford, he naturally has great privileges and care in this era.
In fact, not only now, but even twenty years later, foreign students will still be taken care of by the school, and sometimes they will even be taken care of a little too much.
Zhou Chen came to his dormitory and found that the conditions of the single dormitory were quite good and everything was available. So he simply tidied up, then took out his laptop, connected it to the dormitory's network cable, and started dial-up Internet access.
Today is already September 3rd. Counting the time, Xie Qiao and the others should have arrived at the school to report. I am afraid that even the poisonous mushroom incident has happened.
So he entered the online forum of Beiqing University, did a simple search, and found interesting hot posts.
The content of the hot post is that on the first day of freshman enrollment at Beiqing University, four freshmen set fire to the female dormitory building and almost burned down the dormitory.
Seeing this post, Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh. In the last world, he encountered the fungus poisoning incident of Xu Hongdou and others. When he came to this world, he unexpectedly encountered the poisonous mushroom incident again, but Xie Qiao and the others' hallucinations were even more powerful.
The four of them actually became coherent.
Xie Qiao has been at school for three days. She has gotten along very well with her three roommates in the dormitory these three days. Today they went to the cafeteria to eat together. When they came back, they were about to walk into the dormitory door when they suddenly heard someone calling her name.
"Thank you Qiao."
Xie Qiao stopped, and her three roommates also stopped.
"Xie Qiao, someone called you."
"I heard."
Xie Qiao looked confusedly toward the source of the sound, and then saw a tall and handsome boy a few meters away staring at her with a smile.
Seeing this tall, handsome, and noble boy, her mind was a little confused. She didn't seem to recognize this person, right?
