Ange's departure was sudden, leaving many things unresolved. The elves, who were eagerly awaiting Ange's healing of the Tree of Life, felt as if the sky had fallen upon hearing of her disappearance.
If Hu Jiu and the others hadn't repeatedly assured them that An Ge would return, these elves would probably have shed tears in the elf forest.
"Can't you bring the store manager back? Hurry up, I really can't stand the resentful looks these elves give me every day." And Hu Jiu... Lu Yan silently swallowed those words.
The elves are beautiful, but who would feel good looking at a beautiful woman full of resentment every day?
The others also looked at Meng Xia expectantly. Although they were living comfortably in the Elf Forest, they felt lost without the shopkeeper.
Meng Xia rested her chin on her hand, "I want to too, but Xiao Ge'er said we'll probably be going back to the inn in the next couple of days, so it's pointless to waste a summoning attempt. The inn is about to be upgraded, and she said that this upgrade might create a two-way passage in the space gate."
"When will the manager be able to foresee the changes after the inn's upgrade?" He had heard An Ge complain more than once that the inn's upgrade was like opening a blind box, with no idea what changes would happen in the future.
He only learned what blind boxes were after An Ge explained them, which was quite apt.
Meng Xia shrugged, "How would I know? Xiao Ge'er is already very capable, what's there to be curious about if she knows these things?"
In fact, An Ge found it quite amazing that she could foresee the changes at the inn.
The closer we get to the upgrade, the more obvious this change becomes, something that has never happened before.
An Ge thought it might be because she possessed divine power, and as the inn upgraded to a certain level, the chosen ones could foresee some changes.
Knowing the inn's future development is always a good thing for An Ge. Otherwise, if the inn's development exceeds expectations, such as in terms of land area, she would have to start clearing and adjusting the land again.
However, this premonition was not very clear; she only had some vague ideas.
The clearest premonition this time is that the portal will become two-way, and may even be able to refuse bad guests.
Ange was always worried that the arrival of guests from all dimensions would have a great impact on this continent.
Although these guests won't leave the inn's territory, this is, after all, an ancient world where gods only exist in their beliefs. Once those beliefs become reality, some people's thoughts will unconsciously change.
An Ge already knew that some of the guests had become somewhat obsessed with seeking immortality, including many nobles.
If this plane can support their pursuit of immortality, then it's feasible; at least for them, cultivating immortality is not a pipe dream.
However, as a low-level ancient plane, and even somewhat primitive, even the most powerful ancient martial artists could not fly or escape into the earth to successfully enter the immortal realm, let alone ordinary people.
The mismatch between their wishes and reality renders all their efforts futile, and may even hinder the development of this plane.
In An Ge's vision, this plane will focus on developing productivity, and may even reach the level of technology she possessed in her previous life, rather than developing in the direction of metaphysics.
Thinking about this, An Ge suddenly felt that she had made some mistakes in developing the inn in this world.
Fortunately, there aren't many visitors from other dimensions yet; only elves and dwarves are present, and most people simply believe these aliens are Ango's followers. Even if they aren't mortals, their different races prevent any sense of identification.
With the airing of various TV dramas, many people believe that gods and immortals exist in this world. If the visitor is a cultivator, the seeker of immortality in this realm will likely descend into a state of madness.
Believing is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another. When they see humans cultivating immortality, they unconsciously identify with them and feel that as long as they work hard, they also have the possibility of becoming immortals.
It wasn't that An Ge was overthinking things; she felt that psychologically she was just an ordinary person, and she could guess some of the thoughts of an ordinary person.
Fortunately, everyone only regarded the elves and dwarves as monsters or something similar, and An Ge had told them that there were no monsters in their world, and that these alien races came from the homeland of the gods, so it didn't cause too much panic.
As for those who are obsessed with seeking immortality and enlightenment, An Ge decided to find time to discuss with Feng Jinghan and give the people a lesson in morality.
The gods don't like those who pray to them all day long; they prefer those who are pragmatic. If you want to gain the gods' favor in the future, you'd better do more good deeds and contribute to the development of the people.
To some extent, An Ge's status as a goddess is quite useful; her words are practically golden rules.
Ange didn't want the people to be too superstitious, but he had no choice but to use superstition to guide them.
Having traveled through West Asia, she felt that sometimes people need to have some faith. At the very least, having faith in one's heart brings fear, and society becomes more stable.
"I'm just running an inn, why do I have to worry about these things?" An Ge sighed to the heavens, lamenting her damned conscience.
Liu Tingxue was right; she could be quite saintly at times. These were things that shouldn't be her, a small innkeeper, worrying about.
"So be it. Since I've come to this world to run an inn, I can't just run it happily and then leave a mess behind. It seems that when guests from other worlds come, I can't make too much of a fuss."
Ange had a hunch that the inn's development in this world was nearing its end.
Moreover, after this upgrade, the inn's development no longer relies solely on the number of people. Although it's not entirely about accumulating numbers now, other aspects of development have a relatively small impact on the inn's upgrade progress.
"Could it be that inns will be able to transcend dimensions in the future?" An Ge couldn't help but imagine.
One day in the future, Ange's conjecture came true, but some "minor" problems arose in the process.
The inn's development has now stabilized, especially after Feng Jinghan became the crown prince, the reputation of the Immortal Inn has soared again.
Now, Huaixi City has become one of the largest cities, with Xianyuan Town being the most prosperous.
Xianyuan Town has become an essential stop for merchants traveling from the north to the Great Ye Kingdom. Some wandering knights also come from elsewhere, specifically to experience this land of immortals.
In no time, Xianyuan Town became a well-known tourist destination, and Xianyuan Inn became a sacred place in people's hearts.
The inn's rooms have long been in high demand. Although there is no limit to the number of rooms in Another Dimension, not everyone has the financial means to experience the villas in Another Dimension.
Moreover, most people who stay at inns don't stay long; those nobles who make a living in inns are still a minority.
Looking at the daily customer flow, An Ge estimated that the inn would be upgraded in no more than three days. By then, Hu Jiu and the others should be back too.
