I, the Guide to the Omniverse, Usher in Blue Star's Great Ascension! - chapter 20

Compared to the impatience and panic on Blue Star, the ten tourists on Xiaomi Mountain were leisurely enjoying tonight’s Stinky Fruit feast.

The Toad Spirit clan had already learned that this Stinky Fruit was called durian by the tourists. However, they still preferred to call it Stinky Fruit.

Who would have thought that after decades of being repulsed by its stench and ugly appearance, this fruit would turn out to be so delicious!

They could even trade it with the tourists’ hometowns. The money earned in the future could provide them with other tasty foods, beautiful fabrics, and some fun things.

The tourists hadn’t brought much with them; apart from a change of clothes, most of their luggage was food.

All the food was taken out and given to the Toad Spirits. Only most of the rations in Sheng Ai’s bag remained untouched-after all, they couldn’t eat fruit for three days straight, so some Blue Star provisions had to be saved.

As night gradually fell, Tang Yuanhang held his phone and said, “Damn, my storage is full!”

He had been filming all day, and his phone, which had never handled such a workload before, quickly ran out of space.

Tang Yuanhang couldn’t bear to delete any files, so he was in a dilemma.

“No worries, my phone has plenty of storage. I’ll keep filming for you,” Tian Youyue offered her phone. “But I didn’t bring a power bank. Did you?”

“I did!” Tang Yuanhang was excited. “I always bring them when I travel. I brought three fully charged power banks. If it weren’t for the backpack weight, I’d have brought even more.”

The night on Xiaomi Mountain was very tranquil, and everyone was thoroughly enjoying the Stinky Fruit feast.

After several hours of playing, the group’s excitement gradually settled, but the sense of novelty was still hard to hide.

The tourists sat together in a circle. He Zhou was playing happily with the Little Toad Spirits.

Aunt He was comforting and taking care of the little girl, Ah Yao, who had come down from Xiaomi Mountain. Surrounded by Demons and humans, Ah Yao was still too young and remained frightened, clinging to Aunt He the whole time.

Pei Qiu leaned against Sheng Ai’s shoulder, gazing at the sky and murmured, “It’s my fault. When I came today, I thought you were going to take me to get my kidney stolen.”

Sheng Ai patted her head. “You’re overthinking. Your kidney isn’t worth much; it’s not worth me taking such a big risk.”

Pei Qiu: “…”

Wu Qian, nearby, said awkwardly, “When I came, I thought you were a scammer.”

On the other side, Tian Youyue burst out laughing, “Who wouldn’t think the tour guide was a scammer at first?”

Believing it was real would be the real problem!

At this moment, the Toad Spirit tour guide, Xiao Ma, came before everyone, waving its excited claws.

In its claws was a bunch of shiny green leaves.

It said to the tourists, “My uncle warmly welcomes you to Xiaomi Mountain. To thank you for buying Stinky Fruit, my uncle used his power to give you each a leaf imbued with his magic. I hope you won’t mind.”

With that, Xiao Ma handed out the green leaves to the tourists.

Upon hearing this, the tourists’ eyes lit up.

Especially Tian Youyue and the others, who trembled with excitement. “Wait, a leaf with magic-does this mean it’s a magical artifact that can save our lives?”

Now that they were in the Demons’ world, nothing seemed too outrageous. Instead, their minds instantly went to the magical leaves described in TV dramas and novels.

“Uh-”

Xiao Ma scratched its Toad Spirit head. “My uncle isn’t that powerful yet. This leaf just carries a bit of his goodwill and can make your luck a little better…”
Xiao Ma’s toad paws couldn’t really mimic a clear hand gesture, so he just moved them slightly: “Only a tiny bit.”

After all, he was just an ordinary Demon, so his magical power couldn’t be that strong.

“It’s fine, please thank the Toad King for us!”

Tang Yuanhang and the others were not the least bit dissatisfied.

They carefully accepted the leaf sent over by Xiao Ma into their own hands.

It was just an ordinary green leaf, the only difference being that it was very whole and lushly green.

“I guess this counts as a local souvenir?”

Zeng Xu and the others looked at their leaves. “If we bring this back to Blue Star, will its magical power remain?”

“It should,” Zhou Zhihui swallowed. “After all, we managed to get here.”

They just didn’t know how powerful the Toad King’s magic really was-it was possible that this tiny bit of magical power wouldn’t be enough to make any real change for the tourists.

But being able to receive a gift from a Demon was still quite precious.

It probably never happened in the entire history of Blue Star!

Seeing everyone happily accepting the gifts, Xiao Ma was also delighted.

As long as the tourists didn’t mind that their gifts were a bit humble, it was all good.

After all, with ordinary gifts, Toad Spirits like them would never have anything presentable to offer.

Usually, it was only Great Demons that were expected to give gifts-who would care for these things otherwise?

Compared to this, what Xiao Ma’s uncle, the Toad King, was more looking forward to was Sheng Ai returning to Blue Star as soon as possible to open that online shop and sell their Stinky Fruits.

Then, the Toad King could finally wear a real crown on his head!

In the following two days, Tang Yuanhang used Tian Youyue’s phone, and the group of tourists managed to explore all of Xiaomi Mountain.

After all, there wasn’t anywhere else they could go.

The terrain of Xiaomi Mountain wasn’t much different from that of Huaxia, and the vegetation was even quite lush; this world was still a complete, unspoiled, and purely uncontaminated place.

The whole mountain was covered with trees.

At the bottom of the mountain there were also damp and complex caves-such an environment was perfect for the Toad Spirits to live in.

However, the sleeping conditions were quite rough.

The Toad Spirits all lived in caves, most of which were very damp, which fit their habits.

The tourists really couldn’t get used to it, so for the past two days they stayed in the caves and lit torches.

It was a different kind of experience-like living as primitives.

Although He Zhou, who had grown up in the city, was delicate and pampered, the excitement of traveling in an Otherworld soon made her forget any discomfort about the environment.

Even sleeping on the ground, He Zhou found it very interesting.

As for the little girl Ah Yao, since the tourists all had to return to Blue Star and couldn’t take care of her, and since after interacting with the tourists the Toad Spirits had no objections to Mortals, they were happy to accept a little girl living in their territory.

After two days of getting used to life among the Toad Spirits, Ah Yao gradually grew accustomed to their appearance, which was quite different from humans.

On the third day, no matter how reluctant or excited they were, the journey had to come to an end.

Early in the morning, Sheng Ai received a notification from the System.

[The bus picking up the tourists will arrive at 7 p.m. sharp. Just wait by the same stop where you arrived.]

Sheng Ai immediately urged the tourists to pack up and get ready to leave.

“Just like when we came, don’t take too much-there’s a 10kg limit.”

Although there weren’t any rare treasures on Xiaomi Mountain, the tourists wanted to bring back a little bit of everything from here.
