Chapter 121 Returning to Earth: The end of the memories was abrupt, Part 1...
The end of her memory was sudden. One second Sang Zhi Tao was playing with her companions in the clouds, and the next second she regained her senses and returned to the world of giants.
"You..." The manager looked at Sang Zhitao, who seemed no different from before, but hesitated to approach her, feeling that she exuded an untouchable majesty.
Sang Zhitao closed her eyes, and following the method in her memory, withdrew the oppressive aura emanating from her body before speaking to the administrator: "The dome should have disappeared by now."
The manager nodded.
Sang Zhitao stretched out her hand and pointed to the now empty hall.
As she moved, a door quickly rose in the center of the empty hall, a door just like those in other worlds.
“This place will become the new trading hall.” Sang Zhitao looked at the administrator. “It should have said so.”
The manager nodded knowingly: "Yes, please rest assured, I have already made the arrangements."
Sang Zhitao thought for a moment and reminded him, "I think Earth prefers your technology, such as zooming in, zooming out, and bubbles."
The manager smiled gently, a touch of tenderness appearing on his normally stern face: "Okay, sure."
Everything was over, and Sang Zhitao had no intention of staying any longer. She stepped aside to let the administrators and base personnel communicate, while she ran out of the hall to bid a sincere farewell to her companions waiting outside the door.
"You'll miss me, won't you?" Ling pouted, her eyes filled with tears as she tugged at her clothes.
"Definitely, definitely." Sang Zhitao glanced at Mingming shyly, then hugged Ling tightly.
Mingming shook her head slightly, looking disgusted, and covered her mouth to chuckle to herself.
Yu Cao, who was not far away, looked over in this direction with a puzzled expression, feeling that the petite girl in front of her was somewhat familiar.
Sang Zhitao didn't greet her. After all, she hadn't become the female lead, Yu Cao, in this world. Since that was the case, she wouldn't disturb her future any further. This was something she had agreed upon with the administrators and the world's consciousness.
"So, will she still be the female lead of this world in the future?" That day, Sang Zhitao lay on the world consciousness's lap and asked it curiously.
The World Consciousness thought for a long time before saying, "The so-called female lead is just a story that you recorded because you were influenced by our past memories. It is a chance for us to seize in the long river of fate."
"Now that this place has escaped the danger of the future, it naturally no longer serves as an anchor of life."
"Huh? Wouldn't that be a huge loss? Not only will I take your place, but you might also be in danger?" Sang Zhitao asked, puzzled.
The World Consciousness shook its head and softly retorted, "You can't say that. She shouldn't have existed in the first place. It was your power that invaded the River of Fate and forcibly left a shadow in that time, which is why she came into being. That's also why you replaced her."
“Then…” Sang Zhitao subconsciously retorted, mentioning the jade grass.
The world consciousness stroked her head: "I know what you want to say. Yu Cao may be an exception. Although I don't understand why you didn't take her place, perhaps you will encounter other consciousnesses in the future, or perhaps you will remember more memories. There should be answers there."
“Moreover…” he paused, “as the former shadow of the source, he also has special privileges.”
"What's so special about it?" Sang Zhitao became even more curious.
The World Consciousness chuckled and said, "She'll probably be very lucky."
"Wow~ that's not bad." Sang Zhitao raised her eyebrows, clapped her hands with a smile, and felt at ease if she could be lucky all her life.
On the night the dome disappeared, Sang Zhitao returned to the long-lost Earth base.
"I thought I'd see a giant version of Tao Tao~" Lin Jing said with a smile as she walked over with the documents. "I'd be willing to take over Team Leader Sheng An's job for this."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but even if I become a giant, I'll only be five meters tall." Sang Zhitao shrugged helplessly.
"Five meters is not bad either, it's a pity there was no footage." Lin Jing sat up, opened her notebook, and said with a regretful smile.
"Team Leader Sheng An actually assigned this task to you?" Sang Zhitao looked at Lin Jing, who was taking notes seriously, and was a little curious.
Lin Jing smiled and shrugged: "There's nothing we can do, their group is just not available right now."
"What happened?" Sang Zhitao asked, even more curious.
Lin Jing sighed and said helplessly, "Three worlds combined into one, what a huge loophole! Their team has been working hard to find other loopholes lately, fearing that any omissions might affect you."
"It's not their fault, who could have predicted it?" Sang Zhitao replied.
"That's true, but it was still a mistake at work." Lin Jing said, pointing to the notebook. "Come on, let me write this down first, and then I'll go and see the world of giants."
Just as Sang Zhitao was about to say that the people in the Giant World had shrunk, she remembered that there was a lot of video footage left there, so she stopped talking and told everyone what had happened to her there.
"That's really interesting." Lin Jing shook the notebook, thought for a moment, and then said, "Since the problem of carrying it is still unresolved, your physical training still needs to be put on the agenda."
Thinking of the grueling training, Sang Zhitao couldn't help but shudder, looking at Lin Jing with a resistant expression: "Forget it, when we get to other worlds, I won't be using my own body."
Lin Jing thought for a moment: "It counts as my own too. Although the values will change depending on the world, if the conditioned reflexes are trained well, even if it's bad, I will still have the ability to resist."
Before Sang Zhitao could refute her, she added, "This was decided by higher-ups."
Hearing this, Sang Zhitao knew there was no escaping this challenge, so she could only lean back and let out a pitiful cry: "Help!!"
Li Mingguo and the others couldn't bear to let Sang Zhitao start training right away, so they gave her a few days off.
“The national treasures we exchanged have all been sent to the National Museum. I’ll take you to see them today.” Sang Leping looked at her younger sister, who had been sleeping all day, and couldn’t help but pull her up. “Don’t sleep anymore, you’re sleeping too much.”
Sang Zhitao yawned: "Aren't you going on your date with Sister Zhang Su?"
“We always have time, but you’re either in those worlds or stuck in the base, so we never see each other.” Sang Leping sighed and touched her messy hair.
Hearing her brother say this, Sang Zhitao was also a little emotional. She originally thought that after finding her family, she would become a lazy bum, but she never expected to become a tireless adventurer.
The brother and sister had an exceptionally good time at the National Museum, especially in the exhibition hall of returned treasures, where they were simply overwhelmed by the sights.
The country is quite interesting; they directly named the exhibition hall for returning artifacts "Returning the Jade Intact to Zhao".
"It's so crowded! How long has this exhibition been going on?" Looking at the exhibition hall so crowded that people could barely touch the ground, Sang Zhitao couldn't help but twitch her lips.
"It hasn't been that long. Even if it's three or five years, I don't think everyone's enthusiasm will diminish much." Her brother, Sang Leping, hugged her tightly and smiled happily.
“That’s true.” Sang Zhitao couldn’t help but nod.
The brother and sister squeezed their way into the exhibition hall with the flow of people, completely unaware that the security personnel had been left behind. Even if they had noticed, they wouldn't have panicked, after all, this was now recognized as one of the safest countries in the world—Dongguo.
After playing for seven or eight days, Sang Zhitao was still forcibly sent to the base for physical training.
Unbeknownst to her, while she was undergoing training, a great harvest was taking place on the seas of Dongguo.
"Really?! They were just pulled out directly?!" Netizens watched the shipwreck salvage videos that kept popping up on the news, with each shipwreck being pulled ashore like an endless sandstorm.
"The amount of fish salvaged in the last two days is probably equal to all the fish recovered since the founding of the People's Republic of China." Netizens were increasingly alarmed as they counted the fish.
"Hahaha, I saw the news! This was found by accident during a training exercise by my country's new type of personal submarine," one netizen replied enthusiastically.
This reply stimulated many netizens, whose responses were full of surprise and undisguised pride.
"Holy crap, that's awesome!"
"What?! What am I seeing?! A personal submarine?! Is this our mother's new technology?"
"I saw the news! A personal submarine that can be carried around and deployed with the push of a button!"
"My mom is fucking awesome!"
This news surprised not only the people of Dongguo, but also those of Country A, a country known for its technological prowess.
“Personal submarines are not uncommon, but…” The director of the National Academy of Sciences of Country A pursed his lips and looked nervously at the person in charge of Country A, “We don’t understand why they can carry their submarines with them.”
"We are a technologically advanced nation! How could Dongguo have such technology! This was stolen from us!" The person in charge of Country A shamelessly began to play the blame game.
"This...this doesn't mean that what's ours is ours..." The director of the National Academy of Sciences of Country A hesitated for a moment before cautiously reminding him.
"That's your business. Try your best to get the technical data to our intelligence agency, or at least steal a finished product." The person in charge of Country A turned his eyes to the head of the intelligence agency.
The intelligence chief opened his mouth, about to retort, but was interrupted: "The parliament allocates so much funding to you every year, you need to produce some results."
Once those words were spoken, the director of the intelligence agency had no choice but to nod in agreement.
With the advanced technology of bubble model balls being transferred over, the experts at the base, after research and analysis and communication with another world, finally produced the finished product on Earth, and even quickly produced a batch to be handed over to the Navy for experimentation.
The experiment was a success, and they devoted themselves to miniaturization and scaling techniques.
Before the two technologies could be successfully developed, Sang Zhitao finally completed the first stage of physical training.
"The second phase will begin in a week~" Lin Jing said with a mischievous smile when she came to tell Sang Zhitao about this.
Sang Zhitao ignored her, looked at the ceiling, and sighed deeply: "I really want to travel through time."
"It's no use, even if you come back you'll still have to train," Lin Jing said with a sly smile.
"I wonder what the next world will be like." Sang Zhitao rolled her eyes at her.
Lin Jing thought for a moment before saying, "There's no news from Team Leader Sheng An yet, but we should hear from him soon."
As Lin Jing said, within three days, the original book research team had already sent the data for the next world.
Looking at the name on the file, Sang Zhitao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"
Team Leader Sheng An pinched the bridge of his nose: "It's definitely this world, there's no mistake. Study the data carefully. Based on our guess, you'll probably travel through time very soon."
After saying that, he hurriedly left again, leaving Sang Zhitao speechless as she looked at the documents in her hand.
