Liaozhai world,
Mu He carefully entered the space passage of the Liaozhai world and came out from the space passage of the underground shopping mall. She had saved up several months' salary to travel to the Liaozhai world and experience the authentic ancient customs.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator to the underground shopping mall, I was surrounded by the noisy crowd.
All I saw in the mall were red decorations, and groups of people were walking around the mall with bags of all sizes.
"Candy is 200 wen per pound now, and it's indispensable during the New Year and other festivals."
"Chocolate is 500 wen per pound. We have chocolate with a liqueur filling, hazelnut chocolate... all kinds of flavors available."
"New Year's greetings clothes, festive New Year's greetings clothes, on sale at a low price!"
…………
The sounds of hawking could be heard one after another in the mall. The things being sold were normal and the timing was also right. It was almost Chinese New Year, and Mu He had chosen this time specifically to experience the New Year atmosphere that his elders talked about.
But no matter how people looked at the people in the mall, something seemed amiss.
Leather shoes, curly hair, jeans, where do these Hong Kong style things come from!
Isn't it the ancient world?
It’s okay if it’s something with a strong Hong Kong style, but are cheongsams, tight skirts, and Lolita things meant to be funny?
Mu He stood at the elevator door, not knowing whether he should get off.
"What's wrong with Ms. Mu? Are you feeling unwell?" the staff asked with concern.
Mu He pointed outside and asked, "Is this the Liaozhai world? I came to the ancient world. What's going on?"
Upon hearing this, the staff burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... You have to believe in the infectious power of our Chinese people."
"There's no proper ancient world among the worlds that have good relations with China today. The modern world of Liaozhai is just a hodgepodge."
"Ancient and modern thought converge. Open-minded people are already wearing short sleeves and short skirts, while those who are not open-minded are still wearing long robes with wide sleeves."
There's no question of who's right or wrong; the situation of a true ancient world meeting the modern world is the result of manipulation.
After a pause, the staff member continued, "Even the world of cultivation has been led astray by China. Sword cultivators have learned to live-stream their teachings, and the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect have learned to ask for rewards for their live broadcasts. Don't even begin to tell me how the Hehuan Sect's people have thrived in the live-streaming world."
"And the culinary world is about to be conquered by our Chinese Eight Great Cuisine. Under our Chinese influence, many aspects of the culinary world have changed."
"The unique landforms of our country have appeared..."
Mu He opened his eyes wide with curiosity. What kind of unique Chinese landforms could there be in the food world? "For example?"
"Stinky tofu mountain, pickled cabbage spring, mushroom hot pot hot spring, hot and sour rice noodle river, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Island, the island is full of ingredients for making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall..."
"People in the food industry are protesting China's influence on their industry and want to expel China from the food industry."
The staff member read out a long list. Mu He was originally sighing that the food industry now has Chinese specialty foods, but when he heard the staff member's next words, he immediately became angry.
"Why are they expelling our Chinese people? If we Chinese people hadn't sold them the techniques, eighty percent of people in their world wouldn't be able to practice Kung Fu."
"I heard that there are many alien worlds attacking the Gourmet World. With only the few skills sold by the traveler from the Gourmet World, the Gourmet World would have been destroyed long ago."
The staff looked at the girl, whose face was puffed up with anger, with amusement and said, "Don't be angry. It's only the upper echelons of the culinary world who want to expel us from China. The people in the middle and lower levels have a good relationship with people in our industry."
"That's more like it. Otherwise, it would be like crossing the river and destroying the bridge."
"So, are you still going to the Liaozhai world?"
"Of course I went. My visa is already processed. Since I'm here, of course I have to have some fun before leaving."
"Then hurry up, there are people behind you, and there is a big surprise waiting for you today."
"Oh? What a big surprise."
"You'll find out when you get out."
The staff was mysterious and refused to tell Mu He.
Mu He could only follow the crowd out of the mall. Outside was the capital city of the Liaozhai world.
