Perhaps because she was able to diagnose her mother's depression earlier than her mother had, Nanxing became even more interested in studying medicine.

Moreover, he doesn't reject either traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, and he carries a book in one hand and a dictionary in the other every day.

She could teach him traditional Chinese medicine, but he actually just looked up courses for Western medicine online.

This meant that Nanqu, who had originally planned to play with her son, had to let him rest every now and then. At the same time, she also prepared eye care and health supplements for him.

Since her son was so serious and wouldn't play with her, she simply started up the "other world" again.

It's quite pleasant to sit there every day, drink tea, and watch the cars go by.

However, this pleasant feeling did not last long.

Nanqu underestimated her popularity and the allure of the "otherworldly" costumes. On the third day after the shop opened, people began to come and take photos.

There weren't many people buying clothes, but while Nanqu didn't allow people to try them on, it didn't stop them from taking photos. In fact, you were allowed to take photos wearing your own clothes.

At first, it was Nan Qu's fans who rushed over after hearing the news. They took photos from various angles in the "other world" and even got Nan Qu's autograph and photos with her. They even got to eat delicious desserts.

Later, this place became a popular spot for online influencers to take photos.

The line of people queuing up to take photos stretched for hundreds of meters outside.

Su Ruoyan ended up being left out of the hot springs, while Nan Qu became a tool for taking photos.

What left Nan Qu speechless was that she directly boosted the tourism economy of this small city. Even the mayor came to Nan Qu's home to offer his special regards.

The implication was clear: they wanted her to treat the guests kindly, and if necessary, hoped she could recommend other tourist attractions in the city.

She wasn't against Nan Qu's actions. Although she lacked a strong sense of collective honor, the nearby shops had seen a significant improvement in business because of them, and everyone was grateful to her. So, if a word from her could help this small town, she wouldn't refuse.

However, she can't just mention it to everyone; she's not an NPC and can't have fixed lines. Besides, it would be too deliberate.

NPC?

Nan Qu suddenly had an idea.

Because Nanqu's house was the last one on the road, surrounded by farmland, there was absolutely no problem with erecting a billboard there.

So, that very evening, after discussing it with city leaders, Nan Qu made some unusual changes.

The next morning, when everyone returned to the "other world," they found that many billboards had suddenly appeared outside. The billboards advertised local delicacies and tourist attractions. Each billboard had directions in the lower right corner, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.

The most interesting thing is that next to each billboard, there is a contour photo of Nanqu opera.

A sign next to it reads "Photo Area," meaning you can take photos here while waiting.

At first, people were curious and went over to take pictures, but as soon as they got close, they triggered an advertising message, and the corresponding advertisement was read out.

This discovery felt very strange to everyone; it really was like an NPC, triggering dialogue when you got close to them.

Furthermore, some people discovered that the dialogue wasn't monotonous; in fact, some lines even triggered NPC quests. This immediately made everyone want to start playing.

The NPC's task is to go to the corresponding tourist attractions to complete tasks, which will in turn increase the number of tourists visiting those attractions.

The key issue is that it's not always available; it's triggered randomly, which naturally displeases those without a mission. They originally came to "check off" their experiences in this "other world," but now they can't leave from the entrance.

In contrast, the pressure on Nanqu was much less.

Of course, because of the large customer flow, the clothing sold in Nanqu store also sold a lot, and the store had a lot more money.

However, Nan Qu couldn't forget her own affairs because of this, so after returning to the laboratory, Nan Qu shut down the other world without hesitation.

Nan Qu hadn't expected the lab equipment to take a month to arrive. The container house, for example, had arrived the day after Nan Qu mentioned it.

However, when Nan Qu entered the laboratory and looked at the equipment inside, she instantly understood.

If I'm not mistaken, these devices were transported from a special laboratory. She recognized some of the markings on them from the apocalypse.

These high-end experimental equipment are probably not available for purchase elsewhere.

I just don't know if this lab is related to the virus lab.
