Chapter 211 Returning to the Original World
Chapter 211 Returning to the Original World
Before Lin Xiaoqian could even ask, the system offered an explanation.
Basically, they eliminated many crises and hidden dangers in the previous world, preventing a huge crisis that would have caused the collapse of the small world.
To thank them, the consciousness of the small world specially sent them a wisp of luck, which was full of blessings from the consciousness of the small world. After the system got it, it rubbed it into a ball and gave it to Lin Xiaoqian as a reward.
Lin Xiaoqian: "...So, this thing was originally a reward from the consciousness of that small world? What about the reward you gave me?"
System: "...Host, this bead is the reward for this mission. If the luck given by the small world's consciousness were directly placed on you personally, you would be rejected by the consciousness of other worlds when you go there, and you wouldn't be able to complete the mission."
Seeing your deep love for your country, this system has taken the liberty of fusing it into the Pearl of National Fortune. With this pearl, your country will enjoy favorable weather and abundant harvests, and natural disasters and man-made calamities will certainly not befall you. Moreover, host, don't think that fusing a pearl is easy; it actually takes a lot of effort.
Lin Xiaoqian listened to the system's explanation and replied with a somewhat expressionless face, "Then you've really had a lot of trouble."
However, with this bead, the trip wasn't entirely fruitless.
Lin Xiaoqian carefully put away the Pearl of National Fortune and went downstairs with the others to leave the restaurant.
Familiar cityscapes came into view, a stark contrast to the desolation of the post-apocalyptic world. Liao Zhuang took a deep breath and exclaimed, "This place in the original world is so much better. I love our home so much."
Chen Yuan and Political Commissar Lin were still waiting for them at the door. As usual, they greeted them when they came out.
"You've had a tough time. How was the interdimensional travel this time?"
Lin Xiaoqian replied, "This time we went to another post-apocalyptic world, a post-apocalyptic world with zombies. But that world was very ordinary, and the technology was more backward than ours. Humans didn't have any superpowers, so we didn't bring anything back."
Chen Yuan nodded knowingly: "There are so many small worlds, not every one of them is useful to us. It's good that you came back safely."
"Oh right, Uncle Chen, Political Commissar Lin, something happened to Sister Shuang in this world. Let's take her for a check-up first."
Chen Yuan and Political Commissar Lin asked with concern, "What happened to Jiang Shuang?"
Jiang Shuang said helplessly, "I'm fine now. I don't need to be checked."
Lin Xiaoqian insisted, "Sister Shuang, it would be better to have her checked out to put your mind at ease. Uncle Chen, Political Commissar Lin, something happened to Sister Shuang in the apocalyptic world, and she only recently woke up, so I think it would be best to have her fully checked out."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan and Political Commissar Lin's expressions of concern deepened.
Chen Yuan immediately said, "Your health is something we can't be careless about; you must get checked."
Political Commissar Lin nodded in agreement: "Yes, I'll arrange for someone to examine Jiang Shuang right now."
Seeing everyone's persistence, Jiang Shuang was deeply moved and no longer declined.
Fortunately, the medical facilities at the military base were among the most advanced in the country, and even the world, and Jiang Shuang was quickly put into the equipment for examination.
The final result was good; Jiang Shuang's health was perfectly normal, even better than most people.
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
Lin Xiaoqian took out the Pearl of National Fortune and handed it to Chen Yuan, explaining its function to him.
Chen Yuan's face showed surprise. "The Pearl of National Fortune? Little Qian, you really have a lot of nerve, only telling me now."
Lin Xiaoqian chuckled.
Chen Yuan knew, of course, that she was concerned about her teammate and wanted to confirm that Jiang Shuang was alright first. She was afraid that if she took out the bead first, it would delay Jiang Shuang, so she didn't expose her.
He carefully took the beads and said in a relaxed tone, "Alright, you can leave the beads to me. You can all go back and get some rest."
The five people went their separate ways.
Life in the original world was the same as before: going home to spend time with family, training as needed, and Mo Ying also had to go to the cultivation school to instruct students.
However, in just these few days, many major events have indeed occurred in the original world.
First, because of the significant improvement in their country's military strength and technological capabilities, the islanders on the east side obediently returned to the embrace of their motherland.
Without expending any force, it was the popular choice.
In just two days, the matter was settled, and the country even gave a three-day holiday so that the people of the whole country could celebrate the moment together.
The next day, netizens on social media platforms both at home and abroad began showing off the magic academy and cultivation school that were being built in the area, as well as the various high-tech electronic products that they had either bought or that the government had distributed, all of which were exclusive to the island.
Netizens from other countries were both envious and admiring after seeing this.
Citizens of neighboring South Korea openly stated online that their country has been a vassal state of South Korea since ancient times, and even presented various historical materials as proof, implying that they are South Koreans and want to return to the embrace of their motherland.
The monkeys in the south couldn't sit still after seeing this, saying that their country had also belonged to the Flower Kingdom for thousands of years, and they also wanted to return.
Then the people of the small countries surrounding the Flower Kingdom all requested to return.
The internet became incredibly lively for a time.
People in the country were both amused and exasperated when they saw these messages copied from foreign websites.
Various jokes and ridicule have emerged online. One person said, "South Korea used to steal our culture, but now they admit online that the culture they applied for UNESCO World Heritage status is from South Korea, and even say that we are all one family. What are they up to?"
"What could they be up to? They're just jealous."
"The monkeys from the south are also coming to join in the fun, wanting to enjoy the benefits of our country. Dream on."
Some people exclaimed, "Our ancestors were truly amazing; these places used to be vassal states of our country."
People chimed in with their own comments, creating a lively atmosphere online.
Lin Xiaoqian and the others even speculated that this might be the effect of the Pearl of National Fortune.
However, the government of the United States has maintained a cautious and rational attitude toward these demands on the internet.
In response to questions raised by international media, a spokesperson for the Chinese government stated: "Historically, relations between countries have been complex and volatile. Today, international relations should be based on the principles of equality and independence. We cherish our friendly and peaceful diplomatic relations with all countries."
They're very busy, okay? Things are changing every day in China, and they're busy enough dealing with domestic issues alone. They don't have time to deal with these messy diplomatic requests.
It seems the country is currently working on some kind of space project, searching for stellar objects. Although we don't know the specifics of what it's about, it's definitely going to be a big event.
Thinking of this, the spokesperson couldn't help but puff out his chest proudly and said in a calm tone, "Next question."
