Time manager

20:50

Under the night sky, Shi Jing walked slowly, recalling while asking notes: "Shi, what did you do to me just now?"

[Dangerous information fluctuations were detected, and I unilaterally stopped the master's time. 】

Is that the static state?

As for the dangerous information... He remembered that Lian Ping was about to tell Liu Ke's secret at that time.

"So, it's dangerous for me to know their secret?" Shi Jing guessed.

【Yes. 】

This is a bit difficult.He originally wanted to find out about the light ball and see if he could help Lian Ping get rid of it.

"Then is there any danger to those who are attached to the light sphere?"

[Unexpectedly, the unknown existence has reached some kind of agreement with the attached person, and everything depends on the choice of the attached person. 】

"That is to say, what happened to Lian Ping was his own choice?"

【Yes.Even if there is danger, it is the willing choice of the epiphyte.Masters can be seen as an equivalent transaction between them. 】

Trading...I'm afraid it's not a simple transaction.Shi Jing thought about it. In the student comics he had confiscated before, there seemed to be a similar story. Humans made a wish to the devil and paid their souls for it.

It's just that this ball of light doesn't seem like the devil's spokesperson, at least Lian Ping still looks quite normal, except that he has been a little unlucky recently.

But if it's unlucky, his situation is much worse than Lian Ping's...

Thinking of this, Shi Jing finally remembered an important thing, his dinner time is over!

He hurried into the community, and suddenly a bright light flashed in the night sky.

It's lightning.

Then there was thunder.

There is no wind and rain, but drought and thunder.strangeness……

What's even more strange is that looking at the direction of the lightning strike, it seems to be a bar.

Shi Jing looked at his watch subconsciously, tossing and tossing all night, it was almost nine o'clock at this time, and he had to add the lexicon of notes later.He has to copy a few pages every day recently, and he can't give up halfway.Otherwise, bad luck too.

Yes, after years of research, he found that this strange rule of "unlucky if you don't discipline yourself" seems to set some of his small habits on his own.As long as one thing is repeated several times in the same period of time to form a pattern, it will be regarded as a new plan by default.Until the program is over, shelving or termination will be bad luck.If it ends according to plan, there will be no bad luck.

So Shi Jing felt that it would be too late to cook according to the usual rhythm, so he made some noodles.Anyway, it's past dinner time, so let's just forget about it.

He just bought pork bone instant noodles downstairs, put the noodles into the pot and cook for half a minute, then poured out the water, then added clear water to cook, cracked an egg, and cut a few slices of ham.Instant noodles are easy to cook and don't take much time.Sprinkle the ingredients, and the tempting aroma will overflow with the stirring of the soup. Shi Jing took a deep breath.

This taste is so nostalgic.

From a health point of view, this is actually a kind of dietary indiscipline.

However, he concluded that his unlucky things were all related to time and had little to do with other things.It doesn't matter what you eat as long as you eat on time.

So when he was a teacher, in order to save time, he ate instant noodles and got stomach problems because of it.After I moved to the library, I started to control my diet, and gradually became lighter.

Shi Jing picked up the noodle bowl and walked out of the kitchen, slipping suddenly.

[Time stands still. 】

Notes came to the rescue again.

Shi Jing immediately felt a force supporting his body, and the instant noodles that flew out of his hand were also frozen in the air.

With a slight effort, he walked out of the momentary state of slipping and falling, and then took the instant noodles frozen in the air, carefully placed them on the dining table, and then returned to the place where he slipped and fell, carefully observing.

He was sure that he was mentally prepared, he was cautious enough, and he walked very slowly, but in the end there was an accident.

It turned out that there was a puddle of water at the door of the kitchen for some reason, and the tile floor was a little slippery.

Sure enough, it's still the same, throwing bowls when you don't eat on time... Shi Jing thought helplessly, dragged the water stains away, sat down and finished eating noodles, and while copying the supplementary vocabulary, he asked notes: "When I was young, what was wrong with me? Nothing wrong?"

【No. 】

"Then why do bad things happen to me if I don't discipline myself?"

[I have a bold guess. 】

"Ok?"

【Master may be jealous. 】

"What?" Shi Jing didn't understand.

A person can be unlucky, shouldn't it be a curse or something?What does that have to do with jealousy?

[It must be that the heavens are jealous of the master, which is why they keep making the master unlucky. 】

"..."

Shi Jing pondered for a while before realizing the meaning of the note: You are born with unlucky fate.

"So it's still normal..."

He smiled helplessly, relieved.In fact, after so many years of self-discipline, he has gotten used to it, and he no longer always blames others and feels that fate is unfair like when he was a child.

However, this time, the notes were uncharacteristically rejected him.

【unusual. 】

Shi Jing was stunned. "What did you say?"

[My guess is that someone was jealous of the master and changed the master's luck. 】

"Who?"

[There are only two kinds of people who can interfere with the manager's luck.The first type is both managers, but the person must be above the master. 】

"Personality..." Shi Jing came into contact with a new word. "What's the meaning?"

[In this world, there used to be many managers like masters.It's just that what they're in charge of is something else.Such as day, night, good luck, bad luck, water source... Their abilities are high or low, and they have different scores. 】

"So I'm so unlucky, isn't it because of bad luck...?" Shi Jing said hesitantly, almost saying the word "God".

【impossible.As far as I know, the Doom Manager has long since disappeared due to contact with the person who possessed the Orb of Light. 】

Photosphere!Shi Jing was taken aback, thinking it's no wonder that the notes always prevent him from contacting the person who owns the light sphere.It turned out to be so dangerous.

"What does disappearing mean? Missing? Or..." Shi Jing asked closely.

【No longer exists in this world. 】

Is life or death uncertain... Shi Jing thought, the consequences would be serious.

"What about the second type of person?"

[The person who owns the light sphere. 】

The ball of light... Shi Jing fell into deep thought.Ever since he could remember, he could feel that he was very unlucky. Was he being targeted at that time?What kind of person would lay hands on a child?

He wasn't such a brat when he was a child, he was playful and lazy at most, even if he wasn't liked by others, he wouldn't be hated by others...

The note added: [But I didn't find the quest line on the master, and there were no traces left by other managers.Therefore, either this is the fate of the master, or a higher-level manager made a move, or the interfering person has a light sphere that can change the world's timeline.If the master's personality improves a bit, maybe I can see the clues. 】

Shi Jing's curiosity was finally aroused, and he asked, "What personality am I now?"

[The owner has just returned to his position and is now the first manager. 】

"Well, how do you improve your status?"

【Then the master will have to spend time, experience and achievements.To put it simply, the longer a manager is in office, the higher his status will be, and if he does something, the faster his status will be improved. 】

Sounds a bit like a job title?Shi Jing thought for a while, he had no advantage in fighting for time.After all, human life is limited.So……

"What needs to be done?"

[That...] The note suddenly hesitated.

[As the time manager, the master's basic duty is to guard the timeline of this world.But in this regard, the owner does not need to worry!I will monitor this line, and if there is any abnormality, I will make corrections.So the master just needs to put me away.Don't lose it! 】

[You can't give it away either! 】

[Borrowing is also not allowed! 】

"Hmm." Shi Jing thought to himself, so it's enough for him to lie down and win?

The note issued several statements in a row, and after getting Shi Jing's promise, he said cautiously: [If the master must do something, he can help others improve their time awareness. 】

"Time awakening?" Shi Jing said to himself.

【Yes.For example, if the master helped Lian Ping solve the trouble today, if Lian Ping is no longer late tomorrow morning, it will be regarded as an achievement point. 】

Lian Ping... I don't know if I listened to his words before, maybe I have to remind him tomorrow morning.Shi Jing thought for a while, put down the pen, opened the drawer, took out the phone, and suddenly froze.

By the way, he doesn't have Lian Ping's number.

Lian Ping was packing up his things and preparing for moving tomorrow, when he suddenly sneezed hard and said in a panic, "All! I, I, I seem to have caught a cold again! You didn't do it, did you?"

"Host, this is just an ordinary sneeze."

"Ahhh, I don't believe it! I'm looking for cold medicine... Do you remember where I put the one I bought last week? You do, but the system even remembers the decimal point of my deposit, tell me where the medicine is!"

"..."
