The next morning, Hal and the other members of his team came to the foot of the mountain. They were still worried about how to get up the mountain, but soon they saw a straight staircase leading to the top of the mountain. Not only them, Hal also saw several teams of volunteers, most of whom he didn't know. Looking at their confused expressions, it was obvious that they were just curious about this place.

The group walked up the stairs to the top of the mountain. The whole staircase was extremely long. Looking up, it seemed as if it extended to the sky - this was not a metaphor. In fact, the top of the mountain was covered by white clouds at this moment, so that it looked like Hal and others were climbing stairs to the top of the clouds.

After an unknown amount of time, the group finally reached the end, panting. However, when they looked up, the scene before them made everyone's eyes widen.

“Ohhh…!”

What appeared in front of Hal and the others was a building about four or five stories high. It looked like a rectangular block made of glass. Under the sun, it reflected the blue sky and looked quite beautiful.

But this was not the reason for Hal's emotion. On the contrary, when he saw the building, he seemed to recall something. The building in front of him was like an old friend that Hal had not seen for a long time, and even made his eyes wet. For Hal, he came to such a strange world inexplicably, and lost his memory. He had to fight for his life every day to survive. But at this moment, he was like meeting a familiar person in a strange foreign country, and he almost cried.

I know this!

Hal clenched his fists and stood up. The fatigue from climbing thousands of steps seemed to disappear. He stared at the building with wide eyes.

I know this! I recognize it! I've seen it!

For Hal and other time travelers who have lost their memories, the feeling of being filled with emotion at this time is completely incomprehensible to others. Just like when he was chatting with his teammates before, he would occasionally blurt out "This is just like a game", but after he said this, they would look at each other, completely confused as to why he said this.

What is the same as a game? What does a game mean?

They tried desperately to recall, but they couldn't remember anything. The feeling of having the impression but not being able to recall it clearly was too painful.

But now, he could finally grasp that familiar feeling in his mind.

This is a building! Yes, he remembered this! He had seen this in his own world!

Hal quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the door of the building. He was very excited at this moment, as if his memory was about to be restored. He couldn't wait to reach the door. Then, the translucent door that looked like it was made of glass opened automatically. Hal didn't have any doubt about this, because in his memory, it should have been like this.

That’s right, although he didn’t know why, he knew it was like this!

At this time, other people also walked into the hall. They looked around, and everyone had a complicated expression. Some people were as moved as Hal, almost crying. Others looked at everything in front of them silently, with a bit of nostalgia in their eyes.

But in fact, there is nothing special here. The hall in front of me is just an empty hall without any decoration. There are only two passages leading to the left and right sides respectively. The high ceiling looks as clean as a mirror. I can even see my own face when I look up.

Just as everyone fell into a strange silence, suddenly, a light voice rang out.

"Hello, welcome to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers."

Hearing this voice, everyone turned around and saw a beautiful girl with pink curly hair walking out of the passage on the right. Her clothes were completely different from the residents of this world - or rather, her clothes were the same as what Hal and the others wore when they first came to this world.

"I'm Mengmeng Belia Debiluk. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."

As she spoke, the girl bowed gracefully. Seeing such a beautiful girl, Hal felt his whole body stiffen, and he didn't even know what to say. Others didn't seem to be much better at this moment. Everyone was tense. It was no wonder. Meng Meng in front of him was not only a rare beauty, but also wore beautiful and clean clothes. In comparison, Hal and his people were all wearing adventurer costumes. Although they had washed their clothes, the tattered leather armor and armor were out of place in this clean, beautiful and high-end occasion.

So much so that Hal now regretted coming here dressed like this... Maybe he should go back and find the original clothes he wore?

Although Hal and his group didn't know what to say, the girl who called herself Mengmeng introduced them with a smile.

According to Mengmeng's introduction, Hal and others learned that this place was called Wanhua Valley, which was created by the witch Miss Ellie. According to the witch's idea, she wanted to make this place a shelter for time travelers. Only time travelers can come here and apply to live and work here.

Since this place has just been established, a large number of people are needed to perform various tasks, such as raising animals, cultivating crops, maintaining equipment, etc., so as long as you join, you can rely on your own hands to work. By the way, the money used here is not the gold, silver and copper coins circulating in Orudanari, but a kind of money that looks like it is made of paper.

Depending on their work, everyone will receive different remuneration, and they can also choose to open a shop here. In short, unlike Orudana, as long as the traversers come here, they can maintain their lives even if they do not go to fight.

You can live without fighting!

Hearing this, Hal and the others' eyes suddenly lit up. Because they had lost their memories, they had to rely on fighting to survive. But this kind of life with no tomorrow was obviously not what they expected. If they could really live without fighting, then... it would be great! !

"It looks like someone else has joined."

Looking at those travelers wearing tattered armor and equipment walking into the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, Ai Li also smiled and nodded. A month has passed since then, and Ai Li has successfully built a new gathering place on the top of the mountain.

Of course, this place is more like a modern resort than a city. The building at the entrance is used to register and organize visitor information, and the area is divided into commercial areas, residential areas, administrative areas, and military areas. Ai Li has almost spared no effort to restore the structure of modern society in this world. From the structure of residential buildings to the basic infrastructure such as street lights and toilets and bathrooms, the taste of modern society has been restored as much as possible.

In fact, at first Ai Li wanted to build a Chinese-style Tang and Song Dynasty building complex, but considering that Meng Meng was too cunning, if she found any problems, Fang Zheng would be caught. So she decided to just make it the most ordinary modern architectural style.

Of course, this is not an easy task. Although water can be obtained from the underground water source of the Great Maze, people need food and clothing to survive. Ai Li wants to make this place completely isolated from the outside world and a home for travelers only, which means that she cannot have material exchanges with the outside world. For Fang Zheng, this may not be a difficult task, but Ai Li does not have Fang Zheng's ability.

Fortunately, the three Lala sisters provided assistance in this regard.

Especially Mengmeng, as a member of the Debiruk royal family who has the ability to communicate with plants, Mengmeng carries with her an electronic ecological botanical garden that contains almost all the plants in the universe. There are many edible plants, and even plants whose branches and leaves are very similar to cloth. As long as the leaves are cut, they can be cut into cloth to make clothes.

The food source of Wanhua Valley also comes from the alien seeds in Mengmeng Electronic Botanical Garden - of course, the kind that humans can eat.

As for energy, it was a solar power generation system made by Lala. Although Fang Zheng knew that it was not uncommon for things made by Lala to explode, it would be uncommon for them not to explode, but in this situation, she could not expect too much. Fortunately, the magic of the Age of Gods obtained from this abyss maze was refining and production magic, so Ai Li could also refine ore to make some parts for Lala...

As for security, Ai Li was handed over to Xiao An and Kurosaki Meiya. If anyone could sneak in under the noses of two cosmic-level killers and cause trouble, that would be really amazing.

The reason why it was called Wanhua Valley was naturally also the decision made by Ai Li. After all, when the city was built, everyone asked Ai Li what it was called, and she almost said "Starlight" on impulse... This name was basically used by Fang Zheng in every world he traveled to. If she said it out loud, she would be exposed. Fortunately, Ai Li braked at the last moment and chose the name Wanhua from the online game she played in her previous memory.

After all, there are flowers everywhere here - although they were all planted by Mengmeng out of hobby.

Wanhua Valley immediately attracted a lot of time travelers. Although some of them were still doing well even after losing their memories, most of them were not doing well. After learning about the situation in Wanhua Valley, many people came here with the idea of ​​trying their luck.

Most of the people who came here at first were women, and then some men joined in. Ellie assigned them various tasks, and some people were unwilling to lay down their weapons. For these people, Ellie also taught them the mental skills, and then sent them to the big maze to fight against monsters - this was much more exciting than killing goblins in the wilderness outside.

It can be said that Ai Li's Wanhua Valley has given these travelers enough choices. Those who don't want to fight can do what they can. Those who are willing to fight can also hone their strength in the Great Maze. Of course, Ai Li did not forget to explain her position and the reason for the existence of Wanhua Valley to these travelers, including that she did not trust Orudana and the Human Empire, and the latter might be the mastermind behind these people's loss of memory and travel. Some people chose to believe, while others were half-believing and half-doubting. But whether they believe it or not, Ai Li has already said it - as for whether they believe it or not, and what choice they make, that is their business, and it has nothing to do with Ai Li.

but……

"Yue, it's about time you get off me."

"No, I want to be with Ellie."

Looking at Yue sitting on her lap, Ai Li sighed helplessly. Ever since she rescued Yue from the bottom of the great maze, Yue has been following her all the time, and even called her "Sister", and even wanted to sleep with Ai Li at night - now Ai Li understood how Misaka Mikoto felt when facing Shirai Kuroko.

Fortunately, Yue is not as perverted as Shirai Kuroko. At most, she will act like a spoiled child when she wants to suck blood. However, it is true that she is very clingy to Ai Li.

"But how long do we have to wait? It seems those people have not made any move."

"Not for long."

While gently stroking Yue's hair, Ai Li whispered.

Orudana will definitely not sit idly by and watch the loss of their precious volunteers. I believe that it won't be long before they respond to the existence of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
