"Chen Yang, did you make this grass skirt?"
"Yes."
Did you build this wooden house?
"……Yes."
Chen Yang paused for a moment, then said.
He couldn't think of any other reason. Fortunately, the wooden house had a simple structure, so they wouldn't suspect anything.
Chen Yang had prepared food in advance to welcome the group.
Smoked dried fish.
This was the food he had painstakingly saved up.
"You have to find your own food here. Imagine you've been airdropped naked onto a deserted island, with no trace of human life."
Chen Yang said this as he handed the smoked dried fish to the three of them.
Wang Bing glanced at the fire on the ground and said, "Then what is this fire...?"
Chen Yang smiled smugly, "To make fire by rubbing sticks together."
The three of them nearly popped their eyes out. They never expected to come into contact with such primitive words. It was as if they had returned to ancient times, to a life of drinking blood and being covered in fur.
"This place is different from the real world. Even after eating in the real world, your body will still feel hungry here, so finding food is the most important thing."
After saying this, he took out his indestructible blade and said, "This is the only item I can currently bring from Earth; it has been a great help."
"So, Brother Yang wants us to help you establish yourself in this world, so you'll have more abilities in the future, right?" Jiang Yining asked.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I can only open the micro-world between 8 PM and 8 AM, and the time flow here is twice that of reality. Staying here for a day and a night is only 12 hours in reality, so it won't take up your time. Of course, if you don't want to, you don't have to come in."
"Yes, I do!"
Li Su'er was the first to raise her hand and shout. She was incredibly excited, her face flushed, and her eyes shone brightly.
Wang Bing and Jiang Yining nodded in agreement. Having gone through this experience, who would give it up?
There are no people or pollution here; it's like a legendary paradise, and it doesn't interfere with real-world life. There's absolutely no reason to refuse.
"From now on, our inn's service hours will only end at 10 PM. One of you three can work until 10 PM," Chen Yang said.
Wang Bing's eyes lit up, and he said, "Chen Yang, are you planning to use the Micro Realm as a resource for our inn as well?"
Chen Yang smiled and nodded, saying, "After one month, each of you will have the right to invite one person in. I will only invite a maximum of three people per month. They, like you, can invite one person after staying for a full month. This is the rule of this world. The reason for the one-month timeframe is that you need to connect with the world's energy before you can use that connection to invite others."
Years of management experience allowed Wang Bing to discover the business opportunities within this.
If we make good use of this spot, those who have entered the Micro Realm in the future will definitely become regulars at the inn.
Thinking about it carefully, if this spot were auctioned off, it wouldn't be unreasonable for it to fetch hundreds of thousands of yuan. However, Chen Yang definitely doesn't want to make a fuss about it.
"There's something I must tell you."
"What?"
"After revealing the secrets of the Micro-World, your related memories will be erased. I can't control that; it's a natural rule between the two worlds."
Chen Yang said very seriously that only by explaining it this way would the others take it seriously.
"I promise I won't leak it," Li Su'er swore.
Wang Bing and Jiang Yining nodded as well. Although they had some doubts about Chen Yang's talk of erasing memories, they didn't say anything more.
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to get through it. With the help of the three people, things became much easier for him in the micro-world.
"As I said, we have to obtain all the resources here ourselves, so we'll be getting to work right away."
"Please give instructions, alien Yang!"
Chen Yang suddenly had a new nickname. He chose to ignore it.
"You two girls can just collect wild fruit nearby. There are fruit trees about ten minutes to the right of the cabin. Most importantly, don't go too far. There are wild animals around. Lucky Dog will be with you. It's a dog, after all, and it has a good nose."
Both women nodded excitedly and happily agreed.
"Brother Wang, let's go catch some fish."
Chen Yang handed the harpoon to Wang Bing, while he himself took the spear.
"Don't go too far, and keep an eye on the fire so it doesn't go out," Chen Yang added.
He led Wang Bing to the lakeside, telling him about his experiences living in the micro-world as they walked.
"Yining, it feels like a dream, but it's not a dream! It's not a dream!"
Li Su'er excitedly hugged Jiang Yining and jumped around, while Jiang Yining was also a little dizzy. She felt the same way. It all happened so suddenly.
Just a few hours ago, they were eating and playing on their phones in the inn, but now they've suddenly found themselves in another world, met aliens, and are now preparing to pick wild fruit.
All of this felt so unreal; if Li Su'er hadn't been there, she would have thought she was dreaming.
"Let's go pick some fruit."
Li Su'er skipped ahead, but was pulled back after only a couple of steps.
“The oxalis on the ground is all edible,” Jiang Yining said.
If Chen Yang were here, he would definitely spit out a mouthful of blood. The wild grass next to the hut was actually edible. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have had to go hungry several times.
"And that's wild ginger over there. The roots are edible, but it makes a great seasoning," Jiang Yining said, pointing to a small patch of plants.
How did you know all that?
Jiang Yining laughed and said, "You forgot, I'm a genuine country boy."
Li Su'er was taken aback. She knew Jiang Yining was from the countryside, but she didn't possess any of the qualities a country girl should have. Her behavior was dignified and her manners were graceful, more like someone from a scholarly family, which made Li Su'er forget about that.
"Let's pick them then, and give them a surprise when they come back."
The two women began picking wood sorrel and wild ginger before heading to find the wild fruit Chen Yang had mentioned.
The wild fruit Chen Yang mentioned was a kind of fruit with a good taste. He didn't know its name, but he remembered seeing it on TV before and knew it was edible. Li Su'er and Jiang Yining picked a whole basketful, and then Jiang Yining discovered several kinds of edible fungi.
Just as the two women were reaping a great harvest, Chen Yang and Wang Bing also began their own fishing plan.
There were two fish in the shallow trap, not enough for four people; they needed more fish or meat.
"Brother Wang, I've set up traps around here. We'll check them when we get back. Let's start by fishing."
Wang Bing confidently held up the harpoon and said, "When we were kids, we loved going down to the river to stick and catch fish. Watch me!"
One hour later...
Wang Bing stood in the water, sweating profusely, his eyes fixed on the water's surface.
"Damn it, the fish here are too clever," he cursed.
"Don't be discouraged, I've only recently gotten lucky and managed to snag one," Chen Yang said with a smile.
Wang Bing felt somewhat ashamed; his boastful claim had been instantly proven wrong.
Just then, Chen Yang suddenly thrust out his spear, firmly embedding a crucian carp into the mud.
Seeing this, Wang Bing became even more determined and stared intently at the water's surface.
Two hours later, he also got one, and it was even bigger, which relieved him. At least he hadn't lost face.
He wasn't bragging; when he was young, he did plenty of things like stealing birds and catching fish, and he was always right. He hadn't done it for over a decade, so he was actually a bit rusty.
The two of them then took the two fish from the trap and walked back, chatting and laughing all the way.
"I haven't been this happy in a long time, Chen Yang. This place is really great. Rich people will definitely love it. Our inn won't have to worry about business anymore."
"We can't just look at money; those who don't meet the character requirements shouldn't be let in."
"Yes, this is a paradise on earth. It would be a waste to let people like that in."
Chen Yang's trap only caught one small sparrow today, which was better than nothing. When they arrived at the cabin, two women and a dog were already waiting for them.
Chen Yang was stunned when he saw the wild ginger and oxalis placed on the bench he had made. Weren't they right around the cabin?
"Were these originally edible?"
