I, the Guide to the Omniverse, Usher in Blue Star's Great Ascension! - chapter 30

Chapter 30

Sheng Ai watched Xu Zhi leave, politely escorting him all the way to the entrance of the alley.

He Zhou also came out from her own yard, craning her neck to watch Xu Zhi’s departing figure. Then she turned back and met Sheng Ai’s gaze, giving a mysterious smile: “Are you being watched?”

“Go, go, go.” Sheng Ai waved her hand. “Can’t you talk properly? I haven’t done anything wrong. Don’t spout nonsense, you’re just a kid.”

“I’m not a kid anymore, and I’m not stupid.” He Zhou didn’t believe her. “How could there not be a reaction from above?”

This was obviously something strange.

Sheng Ai made a shushing gesture. “Some things, it’s enough that you understand. Your dad still works in the system, and you don’t even have this bit of awareness?”

He Zhou mimed zipping her lips. “Fine, but is the next trip really in three days? I have a bad feeling about this. The Hot Search is already digging into your Travel Agency. When the time comes, there’ll be tons of people fighting for tickets. How am I supposed to get one? I couldn’t even get concert tickets before.”

Sheng Ai looked at He Zhou sympathetically and spread her hands. “I can’t help you.”

He Zhou sighed deeply. “Sister Ai, with our relationship, can’t you pull some strings for me?”

Sheng Ai scratched her head. “No can do. I asked before, you all have to buy tickets yourselves.”

The first time was because they couldn’t find tourists to buy tickets, but essentially, it was still self-purchase.

The System said Sheng Ai couldn’t reserve tickets herself, so the spots would always be released to the website immediately, even if she reminded the tourists.

She couldn’t guarantee whether the tourists would actually be able to grab the tickets.

Right now, the online attention was still focused on Stinky Fruit, but by the afternoon, with Tang Yuanhang’s performance in the video, The Omniverse Travel Agency also shot to the top of the Hot Search.

#Hu City# was also trending.

Because Tang Yuanhang and his group departed from Hu City, and the location in the video made it easy for people to identify the city.

Most netizens were skeptical, but those who had bought Stinky Fruit gradually started to believe.

After all, the delivery speed of Stinky Fruit couldn’t be faked!

And the extraordinary nature of this Travel Agency was fully revealed.

Tang Yuanhang’s video had completely exploded.

[Damn, can you really travel to other worlds?]

[I just pulled an all-nighter gaming yesterday, and now you’re telling me aliens might actually exist?]

[It’s not just aliens, they actually went to the world of Journey to the West, but isn’t Journey to the West fictional?!]

[So sad I didn’t get to see the Great Sage]

[What’s the deal with this Omniverse Travel Agency? Is it really as literal as it sounds?]

[It all feels so absurd, I really don’t believe other worlds exist…]

…

Netizens were baffled and shocked. After a day of hype around Stinky Fruit, Sheng Ai received news.

The Toad Spirit clan’s Stinky Fruit was almost sold out.

Seeing how well the fruit was selling, the Toad Spirits were preparing to develop Xiaomi Mountain and plant nothing but Stinky Fruit, but after this batch sold out, it would take at least three months for the next crop to mature.

The online store only had a little stock left, but Sheng Ai wasn’t concerned about that.

Instead, the Toad Spirits eagerly asked Sheng Ai what she could buy for them and send over.

After thinking it over, Sheng Ai simply went on a shopping spree at the supermarket.

She bought so much that it was impossible to put everything into her space in front of the supermarket staff, so she just had the supermarket deliver everything to her door.

This batch of Stinky Fruit had already sold hundreds of thousands, which was basically Xiaomi Mountain’s entire stock.
This sum of money was even automatically taxed for Huaxia.

The System and Sheng Ai could also extract a five percent handling fee from it.

This money belonged to her and the System.

System: [Our joint property. You need my permission before you touch it.]

Sheng Ai: […Why didn’t you ask for my permission when you used my bank card to rent a car!]

Sheng Ai didn’t dwell on it with the System; right now, she was thinking about how to fulfill the procurement order to satisfy the Toad Spirit clan.

Food and drink were essential. The Toad Spirits ate everything, since they’d never tasted any human food.

It wasn’t that they wouldn’t eat it, but rather that they’d never had the chance.

Growing up deep in the mountains, they simply didn’t have those conditions.

So Sheng Ai didn’t need to worry too much about this aspect. For snacks, she could even go to the Underground Mall and get wholesale prices.

After all, if you calculated this sum of money carefully and divided it among all the Toad Spirits, it couldn’t be too extravagant.

The Toad King still loved beautiful things.

Sheng Ai even bought it a crown from the Underground Warehouse. It wasn’t worth much, but it looked flashy and sparkly.

In the world of Journey to the West, it was definitely a precious item, something it could show off.

After all, there were no plastic products over there!

Fruit candies, chocolate, instant foods-a massive shopping spree. Sheng Ai spent the whole afternoon busy with this.

She hauled load after load of goods to the alley entrance. He Zhou saw her and came out to help: “Sister Ai, are you sending things to the Toad Spirits?”

Sheng Ai didn’t deny it: “Yes.”

He Zhou’s eyes lit up: “Then can you help me send something to them too?”

Sheng Ai asked the System: [Can tourists send things to them?]

System: [Not for now. You need to build enough rapport with the local guides. They don’t have enough yet. If you agree this time, every tourist will want to send things, treating you as a transfer station?]

Sheng Ai suddenly understood-this could be a huge problem.

So she shook her head regretfully: “No, tourists can’t send things for now.”

He Zhou was a bit disappointed, but could only give up.

Seeing that most of what Sheng Ai bought were daily necessities, He Zhou thought for a moment: “Then can I pay for some supplies and donate them to them, in your name? Would that work?”

System: [No, that’s not allowed either. It’s very strict-the money can only be spent from their own online shop.]

Sheng Ai sighed: “Really can’t. It seems Omniverse Corporation has very strict requirements for cross-time-space item transfers.”

He Zhou pouted: “Alright then.”

But the System added: [Once rapport is high enough, tourists will be able to send things themselves, without needing you as a guide.]

Sheng Ai quickly asked: [Does that mean there’ll be a transfer station here?]

The System fell silent.

Sheng Ai felt she might have guessed something.

Since the Travel Agency was going to open up, there would inevitably be some kind of connection between tourists and the local world-it didn’t seem like a one-off trip.

If it really was a one-off, the Toad Spirits wouldn’t be able to open an online shop on Blue Star.

But since she’d only been there once, Sheng Ai didn’t know how things would develop later.

Now that she had a Spiritual Root, even sleeping these past two days, she’d fall asleep as soon as she hit the bed, but any little noise would wake her up instantly and she wouldn’t feel tired at all. Her energy was worlds apart from before.

She was no longer the fragile type who’d feel faint after just a bit of activity upon waking up.

She couldn’t wait for the next trip and the Cultivation Manual reward!
