Chapter 112 Becoming a Gray Mulberry Peach in the World of Giants...
Sang Zhitao felt the blinding light slowly dissipate before she lowered her arms and slowly opened her eyes.
"This...!" She gasped as she looked at the scene before her.
How should I describe it?
What first appeared before her was an open space as vast as the sky, and then the Forbidden City, which was situated behind a transparent glass enclosure.
Sang Zhitao subconsciously took a step forward, but then felt her body go empty and quickly grabbed something beside her.
After pausing for a moment, she looked down at the bottom of the cliff, which seemed like a bottomless abyss, and then suddenly looked up at the Forbidden City opposite.
The familiar appearance and the familiar words told her that it was real.
She quickly looked around and was surprised to find that there were many familiar buildings around her.
Yuanmingyuan, Temple of Heaven...
Even not far away, there is a section of the Great Wall...
"What... happened?" Sang Zhitao frowned, carefully stepping on the platform that looked about half her height wide, and moved to the side.
As she turned around, she discovered that behind her was also a glass dome, inside which was her familiar environment—the microscopic world.
Sang Zhitao's face turned somewhat pale. She subconsciously looked up and saw familiar clouds high in the sky and buildings faintly visible on them, which told her that this was Bubble World.
"What on earth is going on?!" Sang Zhitao licked her dry lips, feeling that many things were out of her control.
After hesitating for a moment, Sang Zhitao still walked forward as planned.
It wasn't until she reached the end that she discovered there were also many transparent glass domes there.
The enclosure contained many antique buildings that she had seen before.
Looking down at the cabinet that resembled a bottomless cliff, she looked around but couldn't find a place to get down, and was at a loss for what to do.
Just then, voices came from not far away.
Sang Zhitao quickly hid around the corner and peeked out.
"Yu Cao, let's go see the Experimental City, it's been so long since we've seen it..." One of the girls, who was quite pretty by proportion, was pulling another girl along as they walked quickly.
"Slow down, slow down," the girl called Jade Grass soothed softly.
As they got a little closer, Sang Zhitao realized that one of them was much shorter than the other. By Earth's standards, it looked like an adult with a four or five-year-old child.
As they drew closer, Sang Zhitao gasped in shock.
The shorter of the two was a giant to her, and by appearances, he was even more terrifying than the people she knew on Earth and at the base.
She couldn't help but take a few steps back to slow down her body from almost falling because she lost her balance when she looked up.
"Yu Cao, look, the little person I looked at before has actually gotten married!" The tall girl said with a smile, bending slightly over and pointing at the microscopic world.
The short girl, nicknamed Jade Grass, was standing on tiptoe and couldn't be seen clearly at first.
"Ah!" The tall girl grabbed her under the armpits and lifted her up, startling Yu Cao.
"Jade Medicine!" Jade Grass couldn't help but exclaim.
Sang Zhitao frowned, feeling that these two names were extremely familiar.
After thinking for a long time, just as the two were having a pleasant conversation, I remembered it.
"The little people of the land of giants!" she exclaimed, realizing that this was another of her novels.
"How can there be three worlds with one worldview?!" Sang Zhitao looked at the two people in front of her in disbelief, feeling a headache coming on.
"And... why wasn't I the main character?" Sang Zhitao frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
Based on past experience, no matter what world she travels to, she will only become the protagonist, and only then can she obtain world fragments through the plot and open the trading portal.
In particular, whether in the Bubble World or the Microcosm, even without obtaining the World Fragment, she still took over the protagonist's identity. Especially when the Bubble World changed, she directly changed her identity.
But in this world of giants, she didn't experience such a transformation. Not only that, the protagonist was already following the plot...
Looking at the girls in front of her, Sang Zhitao already knew which plot they were in.
This story takes place in one of her traditional power-up novels.
The book is set in a world where radiation has caused mutations, and everyone is weak due to radiation and born with genetic diseases.
They discovered the effects of traditional Chinese medicine on the body from historical records.
However, after the cataclysm, traditional Chinese medicine had been interrupted, and they could only learn about the existence of some Chinese herbal medicines from a few written records. As a result, the special profession of planter emerged in the world of giants.
The female protagonist is one of them. She starts from the most basic herbs and, with her talent, slaps her vicious family members, villains who look down on her, and rich and powerful playboys in the face, eventually becoming the most powerful planter in the world of giants.
Yu Yao was a rich girl she saved when she slapped her family in the face, and the two became good friends after that incident.
"This is the scene where, after successfully cultivating Isatis root, the two decided to celebrate by visiting the National Museum," Sang Zhitao murmured softly after a moment's thought.
Her eyes lit up, and she instantly came up with an idea. She quickly ran towards the direction directly in front of the two people.
Just as she ran up to the two of them, panting heavily.
Yu Yao suddenly straightened up, which startled Yu Cao, causing her to lean forward involuntarily.
This is the moment!
Sang Zhitao lunged forward quickly and grabbed the female lead's hair that was hanging down.
What was an extremely fine strand of hair to the female lead was, for Sang Zhitao now, comparable to a rope that could barely be grasped.
She gritted her teeth, hooked her foot around the hair beneath her feet, barely freeing one hand to grab the hair. She quickly wrapped the hair around her waist a few times before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
This whole process happened in the blink of an eye, and Yu Cao was grabbed back into Yu Yao's arms.
"I suggest I carry you," Yu Yao sighed helplessly and pulled her into her arms.
Yu Cao shifted her body uncomfortably before explaining with a blush, "I'm an adult now, how can I let you hold me like a child?"
Yu Yao couldn't help but chuckle softly; the tremor in her chest felt like a mini-earthquake to Sang Zhitao in her current state.
She couldn't help but twitch her lips and clutched her hair tightly.
Yu Cao sighed, helplessly glancing at her hands, then looking at her friend's body, before softly saying, "What can I do? I was born disabled..."
Yu Yao's eyes flashed with annoyance. She turned her head slightly and cursed herself inwardly before turning to Yu Cao and saying, "You are a rising star in our city's plantation industry. So what if you are disabled? You are just so adorable."
As she spoke, Yu Yao turned to look at the Forbidden City in the glass case on one side: "If the Forbidden City were still in its original place, it would have been destroyed by us unintentionally long ago. Now, thanks to miniaturization technology, we are able to shrink it to a size that can be preserved. Otherwise, how can we explain to future generations that we destroyed the things left by our ancestors after we have solved everything?"
Yu Cao turned her head and looked through Yu Yao's shoulder at the countless historical sites behind her. She let out a soft sigh: "Thanks to the doctor's advice at the time, we only compressed it a little bit according to the proportion. This way, we can still come and see the wisdom of our ancestors when we have time."
Yu Yao chuckled softly: "That's right! If we had followed those people's ideas back then and collected them after compressing them to the extreme, we probably wouldn't have seen these amazing memories, let alone found records of medicinal herbs in the books hidden in those buildings. If that were the case, we would probably be dead long ago."
Yu Cao nodded silently: "Let's go take a look ahead."
The two continued walking forward with smiles. From their conversation, Sang Zhitao learned that after the great disaster, the survivors discovered that their bodies had been magnified by radiation.
If their average height was around 1.7 meters before, their current height is basically between 20 and 30 meters.
The Forbidden City, once a magnificent and splendid sight for people, has become a giant toy.
At first, people didn't think too much about it. Although they were a little unaccustomed to the change in height, they could still live normal lives.
However, within three months, they discovered that the ancient buildings had been unintentionally damaged by many people.
To prevent them from returning to normal years later only to find these ancient buildings no longer existing.
A scientist at the time developed a shrinking technique and decided to preserve ancient buildings by reducing their size.
However, a PhD argued that a race without culture has no foundation.
Based on this, after several meetings and discussions, they finally decided to scale it down proportionally, but retain a certain proportion, and to establish a museum in the capital to preserve these historical traces.
Furthermore, they used special methods to create simulated architectural frames in the locations where the buildings once stood, thus telling the world where the artifacts in the museum once existed, and what kind of environment and culture they were in.
Sang Zhitao lingered on Yu Cao's hair for a long time until Yu Cao and Sang Zhitao went to a restaurant for dinner. Only then did Sang Zhitao climb up Yu Cao's head along her hair.
As if she had climbed Mount Tai, Sang Zhitao lay panting on her hair, which was far from comfortable for her, and it took her a long time to calm her pounding heart.
"My head is a little itchy..." Sang Zhitao had only taken a few steps on Yu Cao's head when she saw Yu Cao look up and scratch where she was.
Sang Zhitao quickly rolled to the side, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the giant hands left.
She knew that it wouldn't be a good place to stay on that head, so she frowned and noticed that the female lead had a pretty hair clip not far away. After thinking for a moment, she simply walked over, slid down her hair a few steps, and sat directly on the hair clip.
This hair clip is shaped like a three-dimensional flower, which is comparable in size to Sang Zhitao's former tulip cottage, though it is not as comfortable and exquisite as her tulip cottage.
However, given the current situation, she has no choice but to stay here temporarily.
In the afternoon, Yu Cao continued shopping with her friends. Her movements caused her hair clip to sway slightly, giving Sang Zhi Tao the feeling of riding in a car. This feeling made her yawn and slowly fall asleep.
"Tao Tao? Tao Tao?" When she woke up, she found herself back in the base.
"Are you alright?!" Her brother, Sang Leping, looked at her with some concern.
Just as Sang Zhitao was about to ask what was wrong, she felt a sharp pain in her palm.
Looking down, I realized that my hands were bandaged, and red bloodstains were faintly visible under the white gauze.
