Chapter 2: Preparing to Time-Travel (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Since Qin Yiling had made up her mind, her mother prepared to pack some supplies for her daughter. As both of them discussed enthusiastically about what to pack, her father walked in.
He had just called her eldest brother, who said that he had not felt anything ominous recently. This meant that Duo Duo would not be in any danger during her upcoming time-travel trip.
Her eldest brother had the special ability to predict the future and could avoid danger in advance. Since he didn’t sense any danger, their parents felt more at ease.
However, when her father saw the eager discussion between mother and daughter, he couldn’t help but voice his doubts and worries.
“Duo Duo, which time period are you traveling to?”
Qin Yiling stared blankly. “…”
Could she say that she didn’t know?
Her father then asked, “Does the time tunnel allow you to pass through with your suitcase and supplies?”
Her mother was at a loss for words.”…”
“Oh no! The system was tied to herself. Every time they traveled through the tunnel, her family never needed to bring any suitcases because her system had its own storage space.”
“But if her daughter was separated from her, could she still carry her suitcase along?”
They had never experienced such a situation before, so they didn’t know if she could.
Her father’s words were like a splash of cold water that instantly sobered them. They had overlooked all of these issues.
When Qin Yiling saw her mother’s look of vague uncertainty and hesitation, she shook her head helplessly. “I don’t know either. There weren’t any clues in the dream. I couldn’t identify anything at all. But there is one thing I’m sure of—the man in the dream had short hair. I couldn’t see anything else.”
Regarding the incident that happened when she was young, she had no memory of it at all. How would she know which time period it was?
Besides, in these dreams from the past few days, that man was soaked in blood and stranded in a dark, eerie mountain forest. She could not gather any useful information at all.
Her father pondered. “Since he had short hair, he must have been in a modern era, but we just don’t know which year it was.”
Upon realizing that it was not in an ancient era, he heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was born in an impoverished feudal era, at least times had changed and it was no longer the complete feudal state of the past. These two feudal systems were worlds apart.
Under the feudal system of the olden times, people did not even have human rights. Even though his daughter had superpowers, he would not bear to send her to such a place—where even one’s personal freedom and ways of thinking were restricted.
If it were a more modern era, one after the reforms, he would feel more at ease even if that world was just as impoverished and underdeveloped as this one.
Qin Yiling, his precious daughter, had always been a free spirit since she was young. As long as they didn’t impose any human rights restrictions or class divides, with her capability, she would definitely be able to thrive in that world too.
Mrs. Qin contemplated for a while and said, “Then we shall prepare according to the conditions of the worst and most bitter era—the forties. There couldn’t possibly have been a tougher time than the forties, right? It’s better to stay low and stay safe than to attract attention and invite trouble.
“Yes, I understand.”
Qin Yiling nodded in agreement. Right now, she was still clueless about the other world. If she brought something too conspicuous, it would raise suspicion and attract unwanted attention from unsavory characters..
