Currently, only Chang Jin remains at the main store; even Chef Wei has gone to a branch, supposedly to discover new ingredients. Chang Jin saw An Ge and her eyes lit up with joy, "Manager, you're finally back!"
"You've had a tough time these past few days. Is everything alright at the inn?"
Chang Jin thought for a moment and then told An Ge about the inn, "Everyone is saying that the inn will disappear in two years. At first, there was a lot of panic, but Emperor Jing quickly stabilized the situation. However, there are more and more guests, and many of them have come from far away, saying that they want to experience a life of immortality before the inn disappears."
They were all aware of the agreement between the store manager and Feng Jinghan. Therefore, when Feng Jinghan sought their help, everyone went all out to assist her in stabilizing the situation.
An Ge breathed a sigh of relief. She could guess how chaotic things must have been when the rumors first came out, without even being asked. Fortunately, Feng Jinghan was a capable new emperor who managed to calm the people down in a short time.
An Ge's time back was limited this time, so she couldn't meet with her old friends. She could only get some news from Chang Jin, Hua Yue, Chi Mu, and others.
For example, the most popular attraction in the inn is now the library. Other things can be taken away, but only knowledge is yours. The new emperor organized a large number of scholars to copy knowledge from the library, especially the skills of craftsmen.
For example, some businesses, having heard that the inn will disappear in the future, have already started a large-scale recruitment drive for employees. Anyone who left the Xianyuan Inn can get an extremely good job.
For example, several more grandmasters emerged in the martial arts world, and some sects that had previously secluded themselves began to roam freely. It is said that the Legal Affairs Department even cooperated with these martial arts figures, thus bringing order and prosperity to the entire martial arts community.
For example, the new emperor expanded the scale of the imperial examinations and suppressed the nobility, giving important positions to those from humble backgrounds. Xiao Chen even achieved a minor top score in the examinations this time.
Hearing Chi Mu's words, An Ge's smile widened. "Mr. Chi has taught such an outstanding disciple. There will definitely be a large number of people seeking his teaching. He'll be very busy in the future."
Chi Mu's eyes lit up. "Does the shopkeeper mean that the Immortal Destiny School will stay?"
An Ge smiled and said, "I didn't say I was taking everything with me. The school isn't a special building, so of course I can leave it here."
Even the usually composed Chi Mu couldn't help but burst into laughter. "On behalf of the people of Daye Kingdom, I thank the shopkeeper for his kindness."
For the Great Ye Kingdom, besides the library, the most precious thing is this school. It is already a great joy that the school has been preserved.
If possible, Ange would even like to keep the library. Unfortunately, if the inn moves away, the library will automatically close.
Ange spent several more days meeting with believers before he finally had time to find Hogg and ask him if he could craft equipment to detect death energy.
Hogg patted his chest, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, leave this to me, Old Hogg. I've studied the equipment that Fang Huanhuan had people make before, so I'm fairly confident."
An Ge breathed a sigh of relief and silently thanked Fang Yuanyuan. "Just tell me what kind of ore you need. There are plenty of resources in the Demon Realm. Maybe you can find some that you can use."
To everyone's surprise, Hogg chuckled and said, "I'll ask Jerry first. They have so many mineral resources over there; maybe we can find something suitable."
Jerry is the chieftain of the goblin race in the original plane.
Ange casually asked, "You seem to be getting along well with them over there." He remembered that when Hogg first arrived, he and Cook didn't get along, and Hogg was even somewhat hostile towards that dimension. Now, it seemed that they had a good relationship.
“I was narrow-minded before, judging Cook by my own petty standards. I, Old Huo, admire Cook very much. He not only shared the treasures bestowed upon him by the shopkeeper with me, but also asked the goblin chieftain to help me find materials when I was short of them. He is very selfless, and I feel that my forging skills have improved a bit.”
Ange looked speechlessly at Hogg, who was filled with gratitude. "Whatever makes you happy."
That old fox Cook wouldn't do anything without a reward. All this effort, isn't it all for Tuhog's casting technology?
When facing Cook, Hogg was sold out but was still happily counting the money.
However, Ango was pleased to see such harmony between the two groups of dwarves. He wished the elves on both sides were this friendly too; thinking of the increasingly hostile relationship between the two elven kings, Ango sighed.
After arranging things at the main store, An Ge, after being called by Meng Xia dozens of times a day, finally crossed the spatial gate and arrived at the newly born apocalyptic plane.
"The apocalyptic world, I'm finally back." After saying that, An Ge was pulled into the void by the Heavenly Dao.
Having grown accustomed to the ways of Heaven, An Ge showed no anger whatsoever. "Little Heavenly Dao, long time no see. I can tell you've missed me. I've only just settled in. Is there something you need?"
"Young friend An is still as energetic as ever. I just wanted to say hello and tell you that this plane has recovered quite well. Thank you. By the way, this plane is newly reborn, so please don't call it the apocalyptic plane anymore, haha." The Heavenly Dao's voice carried a hint of amusement.
An Ge originally thought that the Heavenly Dao was ruthless, but the two Heavenly Daos who had interacted with her, while acting within the rules, also had their own concerns. Ruthless, yet also compassionate.
After greeting Tiandao, Ange headed towards the Immortal Fate Base. A smile remained in her eyes as she looked at the plants and trees planted along the roadside.
People who live in a world of birdsong and fragrant flowers may not realize how joyful every blade of grass and every tree is after the world has survived a catastrophe.
"Little Ge'er, you're finally here! I missed you so much!" Meng Xia ran up and buried her head in An Ge's arms, like a weary bird returning to its nest.
An Ge smiled brightly at Rong Zhuo, Zhang Zhengyi, Wen Zihao, Meng Qiu, Gu Yixin and others who had joy on their faces, "I'm back. You all did a great job during this time. Thank you for your hard work."
Everyone wore smiles; nothing makes people happier than having their hard work recognized.
In just one year, the changes in this new dimension have been remarkable.
Thanks to the efforts of Wen Zihao and others, humanity completely defeated the zombies. With the improvement of the environment, everything returned to normal, even more vibrant than before the apocalypse.
Technology and supernatural abilities coexist, and there have even been instances of using supernatural abilities to advance technology. This gave An Ge some inspiration. If supernatural abilities can be used in this way, could the Tianxuan Continent also have a chance to enter a technological age?
Meng Xia kept pressing the little mouse in her arms closer, proudly saying, "If Xiao Ge'er has time, she should go to the interstellar space to see how much it has changed. My current planet is a key protected planet in the entire interstellar space, and it's lush and green everywhere. I heard that the Interstellar Research Institute has made considerable progress, and I believe that there will never be a shortage of plants in the interstellar era."
"Squeak!"
An Ge looked at the mouse that kept trying to peek out and burst out laughing.
