A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 204 No Need to Waste Space

Zhou Hanzhang discovered that he couldn't recall the specific details of that period.

Her father said he would take the things out and show them to her, but did she actually look at them?

She looked up at Zhou Tong and said, "Before I came here, my father seemed to have acquired some kind of treasure, which he said could help our family rise to a higher level."

This thing should be very important to our family, but I can't remember it at all, which is strange.

Hearing her say this, Zhou Tong understood that it was most likely this thing that influenced Zhou Hanzhang, bringing her into this world.

"This thing is very important. You'd better think carefully about what it is. If it is indeed it, then according to the law of conservation of mass, there must be something similar in this world. Otherwise, with only half of your souls, you wouldn't be able to come here so precisely."

"But I really can't remember."

Zhou Tong looked at Xiao Ba, "Xiao Ba, can you tell?"

"Didn't you already ask? Of course not."

Zhou Tong glared at him, "How can you be so useless?"

"...Are you talking about yourself? Wasn't I created by you?"

Zhou Tong was furious and grabbed a book from the side and threw it at Xiao Ba.

However, Xiao Ba's body was stiff, so this book was nothing more than a tickle to him.

Zhou Hanzhang: ...

"Do you usually interact like this?"

That's a bit too intense, isn't it?

Zhou Tong then remembered that Zhou Hanzhang was still beside her, and quickly composed herself, laughing it off, "Sorry, sorry, you know, it's true that bosses get angry when employees don't listen. Let's get back to why you came into this world, where were we?"

"Law of Conservation of Energy"

"Oh, right, that means there must be something in this world that connected you to this place; it's impossible for you to have been dragged here forcibly."

You'd better think about it, in your home, or in your family—I mean in this era—is there anything that feels familiar to you?

"Something familiar?"

Zhou Tong looked at her expectantly, but Zhou Hanzhang racked her brains but couldn't think of anything that she could say she was familiar with.

Zhou Tong waited for a long time but didn't get a reply from Zhou Hanzhang. She sighed and said, "Fine, let's draw blood first."

When Zhou Hanzhang saw Zhou Tong return to the inner room and take out a blood-drawing device, he was genuinely surprised. "How did you make this?"

Zhou Tong waved the blood-drawing equipment in her hand. "You mean this? This is a little gadget I made on the spot. You know I'm a researcher, so these things aren't difficult for me or Xiao Ba. As long as I can find the materials, I can just tell Xiao Ba what tools I need, and he can make them for me."

Zhou Hanzhang made no attempt to hide his surprise, "Really?!"

"Oh, long guns and cannons are a bit difficult, and atomic bombs and artillery shells won't work either, but I can make some small gadgets."

"That's really impressive. Are you really willing to lend me Hachi?"

"Of course, reach out and make a fist."

Zhou Hanzhang hadn't had his blood drawn in a long time, and he was somewhat stunned when he heard Zhou Tong's official statement.

She blankly stretched out her hand, and Zhou Tong took out a strap from somewhere, directly lifted Zhou Hanzhang's sleeve, tied it around her arm, took out a blood-drawing needle, and immediately punctured her vein. In less than two minutes, a large tube of blood was drawn.

To be fair, Zhou Tong's blood-drawing technique was quite good; Zhou Hanzhang felt almost no pain before the blood draw was over.

Zhou Tong, however, seemed somewhat dissatisfied. "This thing is still too crude. If we could make the blood-drawing equipment we had back then, you wouldn't feel a thing. Sigh... the materials are just too hard to find. This world is good in every other way, but it's too backward in some aspects."

Zhou Hanzhang looked at the crude blood-drawing equipment Zhou Tong had described, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.

According to her, these devices are already more advanced than those of her time.

But that makes sense. After all, she and Zhou Tong are three thousand years apart. Zhou Tong probably looks at her the way she looks at people from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She dared not say it.

Zhou Tong quickly put the blood into a box. She was in a hurry to process the blood sample and didn't have time to continue chatting with Zhou Hanzhang. "I'll go process the blood sample first. I'll come find you after the results are in."

Is there anything I can do to help?

"You can't help. If you can, you'd better think about whether you've encountered anything strange since you came here. Maybe that's the key for us."

Zhou Hanzhang had only been here for less than a year, so he had no idea what strange things he had come into contact with.

Back in modern times, her father said he had a treasure, but she had no memory of ever seeing it.

How long will it take to get your blood sample results?

She still cares about this.

"It's hard to say. If it's quick, we might have the results this afternoon. If it's slow, it might take a few days, but it won't be more than three days at the latest. You don't need to come over until the results are out."

Zhou Hanzhang knew that those researchers didn't want to be disturbed while they were working, so he said, "Then I'll go first?"

"Okay, Xiao Ba will follow you."

Zhou Hanzhang was somewhat surprised, "You don't need Xiao Ba's help?"

"No need. Xiao Ba isn't good at this. Even if he stays, he won't be of much help. Let him stay by your side. You're our precious child now, and we can't afford to have anything happen to you."

"Oh, by the way, after the results come out, I'd like you to bring the girl who's always with you so I can see her, of course, provided she agrees."

After saying that, Zhou Tong pushed Zhou Hanzhang and Xiao Ba out the door and closed the door of Youjian Bookstore again.

Standing at the door, Zhou Hanzhang and Xiao Ba looked at each other in bewilderment. Xiao Ba, unable to bear the awkwardness, spoke first, "You'll get used to it. That's how the boss is. Once she starts researching, no one can disturb her."

Zhou Hanzhang stared blankly at Youjian Bookstore. "I'm just wondering, didn't you say that Youjian Bookstore doesn't have a place to rest? Then where does your boss get blood samples tested?"

"I may not have explained it clearly. There is no place for me to rest, not a place for my boss to rest. This backyard is quite large. Not only is there a place for her to rest, but there is also a place for her to conduct experiments. So don't worry."

Zhou Hanzhang's gaze towards Xiao Ba became somewhat indescribable.

What do you think of your boss?

"What a great boss!"

"A good boss wouldn't even leave you a place to rest?"

Even if it's a robot, there's no need to exploit it like this, right?

What's the difference between him and Zhou Bapi?

"Oh, the boss asked me at the time, and I said I didn't need to rest, so there was no need to waste space."

Zhou Hanzhang looked at Xiao Ba, even more speechless. He had seen stupid people before, but never one this stupid.
