This trip brought unexpected results to Fang Zheng. Not only did he get a plan to save the world, but for Fang Zheng... it was also a great place to train.
Of course not to him.
After that, Fang Zheng returned to the Academy City again. He then gathered Emilia, Firut, Misaka Mikoto, Saten Ruiko, the priestess and others, and carefully explained the situation in the new world to them.
"...In short, that's basically it. Now you should know what kind of power and organization our Tiandao Palace is. Now, our goal is to carry out a comprehensive reconstruction of that world... But please note that unless the other party has committed inhumane acts, we cannot arbitrarily interfere with or destroy the other party's power and system."
"I don't understand, bro."
Hearing this, Firut raised his hand in dissatisfaction.
"From what you said, it seems that we are just working for them for free. Is there any benefit for us?"
"Of course, maybe in your eyes, we are just helping you without asking for anything in return, but the stability of order is a very important part of the Tiandao Palace. As for the reason... hehe, I will tell you when you are a little older."
"Wow...you're talking like I'm just a child."
"do not you?"
"No, I'm already fourteen years old!"
“That’s still a child.”
Fang Zheng’s words sank Felt, and this time it was Huihui who raised her hand.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, Mr. Fang Zheng, can I cast explosion magic at will in that world?!"
"Well, of course. There are a lot of monsters in that world. I think your explosion magic will be very popular."
After all, this is a wasteland world. There is already nothing left to bomb. It doesn't matter if we bomb it a few more times.
"Then I'm going, I must go!!"
It seems that Huihui has been very frustrated with life in Academy City recently. Although it is fun here, she must be very depressed because she cannot release explosion magic to her heart's content.
"I want to go too. As a believer in the Earth Mother, I can't turn a blind eye to people who are in trouble."
Recently, due to the activeness of the World, the goblins in the surrounding territories have been basically killed, so the priestesses have naturally received fewer commissions. However, for a loyal believer in God, being able to help those in need is also her belief.
"If the monsters in that world are very powerful, I won't let them go."
For Aisi, she obviously felt that this was a good opportunity to improve her strength.
However, at this time, Emilia looked at Firut uneasily.
“Feit, are you planning to go to that world?”
"Hmm? Emilia isn't going? That world sounds really fun. There will definitely be a lot of meaningful adventures!"
"But... the royal election is about to begin..."
"……ah……"
After hearing Emilia’s reminder, Firut froze in place.
Speaking of which, there is also the matter of Wang Xuan.
“…Can I quit?”
"Talk to Reinhard about this."
Looking at Firut who was looking at him pitifully, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Even if it's just a formality, participating in more election activities can be considered experience."
“That being said…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Firut also had a bitter look on his face. Frankly speaking, after coming to the territory, joining the adventure team, and now coming to Academy City, Firut no longer wanted to go back to that world.
After all, for Firut, there is nothing good in that world.
"Emilia, do you still want to participate in the royal election?"
Firut was obviously trying to gather allies. If Emilia withdrew with him, it would naturally be the best thing for Firut.
However……
"I still want to participate... No, I should say I really want to participate in the royal election!"
Felt was stabbed in the back by Emilia.
“Why?”
Felt was shocked to hear Emilia’s answer.
"Don't you think it's nice to live here? And everyone is so friendly."
"Because this place is great, I also want to make Lugnica a country like this, where people don't have to worry about life and can enjoy themselves to their heart's content every day, can happily chat and shop on the streets, and both commoners and nobles can live in peace..."
"Ugh... But, this is difficult."
The current Felt is no longer the little girl from the slums. Fang Zheng forced her to take so many political and ideological classes, and she also learned a lot of modern knowledge and history from the Academy City. Naturally, she understands how difficult it is to accomplish what Emilia said in Lugnica.
“Yes, it’s difficult, but if we don’t do it, who will? Felt, you have read history books, right? This world has also had a period similar to our country. How many years did it take them to develop from that time to today? And there have been problems for various reasons. But that’s because we don’t know what the future will be like, so we have to do this.”
Hearing this, even Fang Zheng looked at Emilia in surprise. To be honest, he, like Firut, originally felt that Emilia was not interested in these political affairs... It seemed that Emilia had grown up during her time in Academy City.
"But we are different. We know what the future will be like. One day, there will be no nobles, and everyone will live together in equality and harmony. Even if it may not change quickly, as long as we work hard, we will move in that direction."
"but……"
Firut seemed to be convinced by Emilia, and the others were looking at them curiously.
"So, do you have any ideas?"
"Well, I can't do it alone. I need help from others. Besides, I can also turn to the wisdom of netizens!"
"……Um?"
Even Fang Zheng was stunned when he heard this unexpected word from Emilia.
"Netizens?"
"That's right, Mr. Fang Zheng."
Emilia nodded vigorously and then spoke.
"Aren't there discussion boards on the Internet? Then I found that there are a lot of novels and discussions about 'What would happen if I were reincarnated into a different world', so out of curiosity, I opened a similar discussion thread and asked them how they would change a country like Lugnica if they were in that country... Unexpectedly, those netizens gave me a lot of good suggestions."
As she spoke, Emilia took out a stack of papers and handed them to Fang Zheng, who took it and looked at it curiously. On it were printed contents of discussion threads. Apart from some stupid ones like "I hope I can be invincible and have a harem", there were actually a lot of suggestions and opinions from others, including how to guide the public, use the power of the media, and win over companions... It can be seen that there were even contributions from professionals.
"You did a good job."
Flipping through the documents in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. Generally speaking, this kind of discussion thread is basically just nonsense, but Emilia's discussion thread is so professional, mainly because her "different world setting" is very rigorous and complicated. After all, Emilia is one of the representatives of the King's Choice, and she is very familiar with the domestic political and economic situation, so the setting conditions she gave at the beginning of the discussion thread are also very "hardcore".
For those who simply like mindless harem adventures in another world, such a "hardcore" and cumbersome setting is definitely not welcome, but for those real "hardcore" enthusiasts, it is different. So although Emilia's discussion thread was not of high quality at the beginning, it became more and more like a discussion between professionals as time went on.
Some people even gave methods on how to improve production efficiency and manufacturing industry chains in another world...
How should I put it...I didn't expect you to have the aura of a protagonist.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng's eyes changed when he looked at Emilia. Frankly speaking, his impression of Emilia has always been that she is a very gentle and kind person, but seeing that Emilia could think of this, and actually use this method to collect suggestions... Frankly speaking, it seems like she is possessed by the halo of the protagonist.
Fang Zheng could imagine that even if Emilia did not have the support of the nobles within the Kingdom of Lugnica, she could still rely on the Internet to gather a large number of professionals to provide her with advice.
From a certain perspective, this is even more powerful than the think tanks around the nobles. After all, the number of think tanks is limited, but the number of netizens is unlimited...
"In that case, just go ahead and do it. I will give you a communicator. This way, even in Lugnica, you can connect to the network here."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang Zheng!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Emilia smiled, and Fang Zheng nodded to her. To be honest, Fang Zheng also wanted to see what the ending would be like after reading this online novel-like story.
Besides, she has the support of Tiandao Palace.
As for Frenda and Riko, they are still keen on returning the cultural relics in museums in various countries to their original owners. Although "Lupin IV" has now become the number one on the blacklist of European and American countries, because Academy City is backing her up, and Riko's abilities are indeed very strange, until now, everyone still thinks that "Lupin IV" is just a phantom thief with extraordinary means, and does not associate her with a person with special abilities.
According to Riko and Frenda, they plan to go to the new world to hide after completing the "return" of cultural relics in this world... Anyway, no matter how powerful the martial arts detectives and police in this world are, they can't control the other world.
Just as she had said to Fang Zheng before, Misaka Mikoto planned to go to the New World to find her future goals. It was simple for Shirai Kuroko - she just had to follow Misaka Mikoto.
The same goes for Ryoko Saten. Although Fang Zheng doesn't know how Ryoko Saten communicated with Lei later, it seems that Lei has come out of her sadness. She hopes to fulfill Xia's dream and rebuild a new world, and Ryoko is willing to help Lei accomplish it.
However, this would make Chuchun miserable. If three of the four members of the group disappeared every day, she might feel excluded. As for how they communicate with each other, it would be up to them to handle it themselves.
Tokisaki Kurumi (the clone) will stay here with Ram, Rem, and Reki to deal with the problems of Academy City and the wasteland world. For now, everything is almost over. Next, it's the story of these protagonists growing up. As for Fang Zheng...
"Why do I have to drink tea with you here?"
Shokuhou Misaki looked at Fang Zheng with a complicated expression, while Fang Zheng drank some juice with a smile.
"Because we met on the road, so what's wrong with saying hello and having tea together? Would you like a piece of cake?"
“No way!”
Hearing this, Shokuhou Misaki almost slammed the table in anger. After that day, her weight increased so quickly that she became depressed. She even had to ask everyone in the faction to help her lose weight. It was not easy for her to return to her original figure... She absolutely could not let Fang Zheng lead her by the nose anymore.
"It took me a lot of effort to get back to my normal weight!"
"Really? But I feel like you've cut out the unnecessary parts, huh?"
Fang Zheng's eyes wandered around Shokuhou Misaki's chest, and noticing Fang Zheng's gaze, Shokuhou Misaki hurriedly covered her chest.
"This is all your fault! Besides, you don't know how troubled I was after that day!"
"Um?"
"It's just that the rumor that you and I are dating is really disturbing!"
Whenever this matter was mentioned, Shokuhou Misaki gnashed her teeth in anger. Ever since she was seen shopping with Fang Zheng during the Daihasei Festival, all kinds of rumors have spread.
At first, it was just "I heard that Shokuhou-sama is dating Mr. Fang Zheng", but gradually the rumors began to change, and gradually became "Shokuhou-sama is Fang Zheng-sama's fiancée, and Fang Zheng-sama gave up the superior conditions in the outside world and came to Academy City to be with Shokuhou-sama because he was worried about her"...
After all, the young ladies of Tokiwadai are all flowers in a greenhouse, and they naturally yearn for romantic and beautiful love. So unknowingly, the whole story has completely changed. Now almost everyone has determined that Shokuhou Misaki is Fang Zheng's fiancée...
Shokuhou Misaki had no way to deal with this. Although she could tamper with the memory, she couldn't modify the messages in the computer and mobile phone. Of course, Misaka Mikoto could do this easily, but Shokuhou Misaki knew very well what would happen if she asked Misaka Mikoto for help... and the other party might not help at all out of revenge!
Instead of this, it is better to grit your teeth and hold on. Rumors can only last for 90 days anyway.
It will just pass slowly.
"In fact, girls who are a little chubby are more cute. Skinny girls are not a good choice."
"Mr. Fang Zheng, do you mean that even if I turned into a fat pig, you would still like me?"
"Of course."
In response to Shokuhou Misaki's question, Fang Zheng chuckled - the orange cat he raised at home must be cute when it was young, but it's also very interesting when it's fat.
“…”
On the contrary, facing Fang Zheng's answer, Shokuhou Misaki didn't know what to say for a moment. Noticing Shokuhou Misaki's eyes, Fang Zheng pushed the dessert in front of him over.
"Would you like a piece of cake?"
“… Just one piece.”
Looking at the cake in front of her, Shokuhou Misaki thought it over and finally stretched out her hand with an expression as if she was going to the execution ground.
