I, the Guide to the Omniverse, Usher in Blue Star's Great Ascension! - chapter 16

It wasn’t that He Weiguang didn’t trust Sheng Ai.

After all, Sheng Ai was someone he had watched grow up.

But opening a travel agency, plus the fact that both his mother and daughter had gone along-showing some concern, making a phone call to ask where they were, was only natural.

Who could have guessed that one call would reveal a problem?

Aunt He’s phone was out of service, and He Zhou also had a cell phone for easy contact with her parents.

He Weiguang couldn’t reach her either.

Finally, he tried calling Sheng Ai.

Still unreachable!

As a police officer, He Weiguang was naturally more sensitive than most.

It would be one thing if only his mother was out of contact, but all three of them?

He Weiguang immediately began investigating where exactly Sheng Ai and the others had set off from.

At the same time, he started to feel a bit panicked, afraid that something really had happened to them.

Of course, suspicion toward Sheng Ai still flashed through his mind, but he was unwilling to truly believe that Sheng Ai had taken his mother and daughter away. He preferred to think that the three of them had all encountered some kind of trouble.

Compared to He Weiguang’s anxiety-

At this moment, Aunt He was grinning from ear to ear.

“Come, come, just take it like this.”

Aunt He wore a silk scarf on her head, made a peace sign, and took photos under a big tree, hugging several Little Toad Spirits beside her.

At first, Aunt He had actually been a bit afraid of these Toad Spirits, but after getting used to them and chatting with them, she found them to be exceptionally pure and innocent, so she just treated them like children.

She held up her phone and asked He Zhou to take some good photos of her, so she could show them to her son and daughter-in-law when she got back.

It would definitely give them a huge shock.

He Zhou was giggling as she took the photos, while Sheng Ai took Pei Qiu to see the Stinky Fruit at the foot of Xiaomi Mountain.

Xiaomi Mountain wasn’t exactly big, but it wasn’t small either.

At the very least, it would take most of a day to walk all the way around it.

The Stinky Fruit grew all at the foot of the mountain, and since there were no humans around, this place had long been deserted.

The Toad Spirits didn’t eat Stinky Fruit, so the fruit had become overgrown.

Zhou Zhihui and the others were happily picking fruit. They couldn’t finish it all themselves, so they planned to help distribute it to the entire Toad Spirit clan.

Tang Yuanhang was filming the fruit-picking scenes with his phone, already imagining how explosive the reaction would be if he ever released this footage.

The Toad Spirits weren’t made with special effects-they had the real, tangible presence of living beings.

Sheng Ai was watching from the side, but she didn’t want to be on camera, and Tang Yuanhang didn’t insist.

He was truly curious about Sheng Ai-even after arriving at this magical place, he still found it hard to believe.

When there was no one else around Sheng Ai, Tang Yuanhang walked over and asked, “Chief Guide, are you a native of Hu City?”

“Ah.” Sheng Ai nodded. “Yes, I am.”

Tang Yuanhang couldn’t help but get excited. “How do you-how do you have such magical abilities?”

Sheng Ai made a ‘shh’ gesture. “It’s a secret. But all you need to remember is that I’m a native-born Chinese from Blue Star.”

Seeing that Sheng Ai didn’t want to say more, Tang Yuanhang didn’t push it. Instead, he asked, “When is the next trip? Can I book in advance?”

Sheng Ai replied awkwardly, “No.”

The next task would be randomly assigned by the System, and she didn’t even know the requirements yet.

Tang Yuanhang didn’t press further and said, “But when the next trip comes up, you have to let me know in advance.”

Sheng Ai continued, “It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that next time, the price might not be as favorable.”

The System had said that 200 yuan was a first-time promotional price; the second time, the price would definitely be different.
The destination was also random.

“It’s fine, money isn’t a problem – uh, as long as it’s not too outrageous. Even a five-digit price is acceptable to me.”

Tang Yuanhang had intended to exaggerate a little, but considering his actual situation, he could only face reality.

This was all he was worth.

This journey was so incredible. If he ever got another chance, Tang Yuanhang wouldn’t want to miss it: “It’s really amazing, we actually arrived in the Otherworld. If I hadn’t come myself, I definitely wouldn’t believe it. Once I post the video, there will definitely be netizens questioning me. I wonder if it’ll cause a huge stir.”

There was no phone signal here, and it didn’t match anywhere he remembered.

Suppose this was a dream.

To make someone feel so immersed, the method of creating this dream must be ridiculously advanced technology!

Tang Yuanhang knew netizens wouldn’t believe him, but he felt certain it would cause a sensation.

Thinking of this, Tang Yuanhang hurriedly asked, “Can I post this video?”

“Sure, why can’t you post a travel video?” Sheng Ai said naturally. “If you want to post it, just post it.”

Whether netizens believed it or not wasn’t her responsibility anyway.

Besides, if Tang Yuanhang posted the video and became popular, it would be easier to gather people for the next trip.

Surely someone would be willing to buy a ticket for the novelty alone.

Seeing that Sheng Ai didn’t mind, Tang Yuanhang couldn’t help but imagine: “Why were we the ones chosen? Are we some kind of chosen ones…”

“It just happened that you bought tickets.” Sheng Ai took out two sunflower seeds that Aunt He had given her. “I just started selling tickets and messaged my former colleagues. They advised me to go to the hospital early for a check-up, in case it’s too late.”

Tang Yuanhang: “…”

“It’s fine,” Tang Yuanhang replied in a tone as if they didn’t know what they were missing. “Next time, let me know in advance – I’ll definitely go!”

Sheng Ai waved her hand: “I can’t say for sure. I’m just a middleman.”

Tang Yuanhang understood.

Sheng Ai was just the one in charge; there must be someone above her.

But Tang Yuanhang was still curious: “When the video goes out, even if some people don’t believe it, once your travel business starts and more people know, our country will notice, right?”

Actually, Sheng Ai had thought about this too.

She couldn’t talk about the System, so what if she got targeted then?

But the System said it would handle it, so Sheng Ai didn’t worry.

She shook her head. “Let things take their course.”

At this moment, Xiao Ma came over with Wu Qian, Aunt He, and the others to help pick Stinky Fruit.

Wu Qian had gone from wanting to fight at the start to now happily holding her phone and filming everywhere, already planning how to show off to her classmates and even her parents once she returned.

She had come to an Otherworld!

And it was a world where the Great Sage existed!

When the Toad Spirits learned that these Stinky Fruits were edible, and Xiao Ma – who had already tasted them – said they were delicious, they all came to help carry the Stinky Fruit.

They decided to hold a Stinky Fruit feast tonight to welcome Sheng Ai and her group of tourists.

Sheng Ai and Aunt He discussed dividing up the things they brought. The instant food wasn’t tasty for them, but to the Toad Spirits, it was definitely a delicacy.

Hopefully, every Toad Spirit could have a taste.

At that moment, another little toad suddenly ran up from the foot of the mountain.

It said in shock,

“At the bottom of the mountain, Da Zhuang Toad and the others caught one of the Mortals – not a tourist, but a local one!”
