Development and Utilization of Natural Resources
Although Su Mingya essentially just wanted to taste delicious food, it is undeniable that this activity, which originally seemed a bit outrageous, became the beginning of communication between the two worlds.
Culture, language, values...even if there are still differences among these, food can transcend everything.
For the next whole week, the topics of both worlds revolved around this cooking exchange conference, but the emphasis was different.
Earthlings are more interested in the poor cooking and complex ingredients of Parnaki, as well as the sub-races that were only seen in games and movies in the past.
Especially the cooking videos of those elven chefs, which went viral on major websites and platforms on Earth.
With colorful hair, creamy skin, stunning faces like in CG, and translucent wings faintly visible behind them - these faces can stir up bloody storms in the entertainment industry on Earth, and just standing together, they are pleasing to the eye.
Not to mention their cooking methods, fresh fruits don’t need any cooking utensils at all, they float directly in the palm of the hand and are chopped by the wind blade. The juice that is fried is frozen into snowflakes in mid-air by ice magic, and these snowflakes are transported to the plate by wind magic, piling up layer by layer to form a colorful snow mountain. They also use their white and slender fingers to chase the berries that look like blueberries, embellish them on the frost, and finally carefully drizzle a layer of nectar - let alone whether it tastes good or not, using skilled magic in cooking, the picture alone is already beautiful enough, and whether it tastes good or not is not important at all.
The elves, fairies, and tree spirits sitting in the VIP seats also received a lot of attention. It was just because these people were involved in the leadership of Parnagi, and it was said that some of them were time travelers. In order to prevent them from seeing some words that might cause dissatisfaction or discomfort, the official deliberately controlled the spread of related videos. On the surface, the discussion of these people was far less than that of the elf chefs.
However, this is only limited to the surface. Privately, everyone who sees the relevant news is secretly guessing who the time traveler is.
Su Mingya, who was responsible for promoting the cooking exchange conference, received the most votes. Her resentful look at not being able to eat meat also made her the target of countless memes, and also attracted a lot of popularity.
These discussions and news footage naturally fell into the eyes of Su Mingya's parents.
They were having dinner at a relative's house at the time, and the meal had not yet ended when the younger generation, who were watching the news in the living room, suddenly let out a strange cry.
"Aunt, uncle!"
"Mom and Dad—come quickly!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The adults were half awake from the fright and rushed into the living room without even catching their breath. They saw the younger generations in the family pointing at the TV and shouting excitedly: "Uncle and aunt, look at this! Is it my cousin?"
"This must be Mingya! I will never make a mistake!"
The camera happened to be pointed at the VIP seats, and as the reporter introduced the audience in the voice-over, the camera swept across each person's face one by one.
The elf sitting in the middle has beautiful waist-length blonde hair, with red petal hair accessories on both sides to tuck the hair behind her ears, revealing her pointed elf ears, and a breathtakingly beautiful face. Her aqua blue eyes seem to contain a clear spring, with the innocence of a fawn, which makes people fall in love with her the moment they look at each other.
She was wearing a red gauze dress, which made her skin look as white as snow and as delicate as a blooming rose.
——Even though this face is so exquisite that it exceeds human imagination, the facial features look very much like Su Mingya.
"Ah? This... this..."
Su Mingya's parents looked at each other in bewilderment. Even though they had sensed something was amiss due to Rui Hang's reminder and their daughter's early departures and late returns, they had never thought that their daughter would have anything to do with the legendary existence of "elves", and was even more so the elf saint who was about to become the future queen!
Compared to the shock of Su Mingya's parents, the younger generations in the family were more excited than surprised.
"My cousin is actually an elf!"
"Is cousin Mingya equivalent to the princess of the elves?"
"I already said she's a saint, not a princess. And the reporters said that my cousin is going to be a queen in the future!"
"This is so cool! I can show off to my classmates later - my sister is an elf!"
"So, can we rely on our cousin to go to Parnaqui?"
——Since the channel is not yet stable, in order to prevent accidents, the channel between the Earth and Parnaki has not been opened for the time being, and it is even more impossible to build signal towers and other equipment.
In fact, every day there are space earthquakes of varying degrees in both worlds, as well as monsters running from Parnaki to the Earth.
However, Team Nine had already restricted the passage between the two worlds on the first day. The passage was temporarily reduced, and even powerful people could not travel through it. The various organizations in the two worlds had also done corresponding protective work, so there was no need to worry too much at the moment.
At the same time, the two worlds are constantly discussing issues and solutions regarding entry and exit points, passports, etc. Once the two worlds are completely integrated and remain parallel, this problem will also be completely solved.
Nowadays, people from Earth who can enter Parnaqui, or Parnaqui natives who want to go to Earth from Parnaqui, need to apply and go through layers of approval before they can go together. Most of them are journalists and photographers from various countries. These people took a lot of footage and brought it back to their own countries, widely disseminated it through social media, and let their world see what another world looks like.
But how can it be fun just watching it on TV? Who doesn’t want to enter a different world and have an adventure in person?
Su Mingya's parents were also very excited by what the younger generations said, and began to consider whether to discuss the matter with Su Mingya after she returned home in the evening.
Nowadays, the priority of learning magic is comparable to that of taking civil service exams and postgraduate entrance exams. If you can allow your children to study abroad in another world, their future life will surely be smooth sailing.
It would be fine if my daughter was just an ordinary time traveler, but the elves are one of the most powerful races in Parnaki, and they are also saints!
Powerful, noble and mysterious have always been their signature words.
Relatives including Su Mingya's parents couldn't help but fantasize: Su Mingya was wearing gold and silver, was surrounded by people wherever she went, and could eat all kinds of delicious food every day...
Until the pitiful scenes of Su Mingya wolfing down her meal (compared to the Elf Queen) and staring at the meat dishes of other VIPs, wanting to eat but not being able to, were all captured by the camera and broadcast, and then seen by all the relatives.
Relatives: “…”
Su Mingya's parents: "......"
Su Mingya's uncle said awkwardly, "It seems that the elves...don't eat very well, either?"
Su Mingya's aunt nodded: "Look how hungry Mingya is. How many days has she not eaten?"
The younger generations, at this moment, stared at the "dish" from Parnaki and fell into a long silence.
It seems that life in Parnaki is more difficult than they imagined?
The same thought occurred to everyone - it would be better to take it slow before planning on studying abroad.
...
Su Mingya's parents could see their daughter on the news, and Qiao Muyu, who also appeared on the screen, was also seen by her parents and relatives. Qiao Muyu's parents' phones were directly flooded with calls from relatives one after another.
When Qiao Muyu's sister Qiao Muyin fell ill, her parents asked for help from all the relatives, but no one paid any attention to them. They even took the initiative to put their names on the blacklist.
Although every family has its own problems and refusing to lend money is a matter of course, Qiao Muyu has suddenly transformed from a poor boy into a highly-anticipated time traveler and the high priest of the tree demon clan, and even appeared on the news broadcast. These relatives suddenly forgot all the "compulsions" in the past and became close to each other unilaterally. Naturally, Qiao Muyu had reason to refuse them all.
In fact, as early as the day when Earth and Parnaqui merged, Qiao Muyu took the initiative to inform his parents of his identity and invited them to live in Parnaqui for a while. However, due to concerns about not being able to speak the language and not being used to a foreign country, his parents rejected Qiao Muyu's kindness.
But this time, under the repeated bombardment of relatives, his parents finally gave in and were taken to Parnaki by Qiao Muyu.
With the magic that Qiao Muyu performed specifically for his parents, the two did not worry about encountering language barriers. Just like those travelers who were pulled into the dream magic, every word they said would become the common language of Parnaki, and every word that fell into their ears would also become Mandarin.
Both of Qiao Muyu's parents are very decisive and proactive people.
After finding that there was no communication problem, the two, freed from work pressure, learned the language and magic of Parnaki, and under the protection of the tree spirits sent by Qiao Muyu, they traveled to other countries and had a great time.
As for her elder sister Qiao Muyin, after revealing her identity to her parents, Qiao Muyu took her directly to Parnaki.
Now Qiao Muyin lives in the "Temple of Life" of the Holy Roman Empire. She is the reincarnation of the soul of the saint and "Goddess of Life", and Zhou Ruo is personally in charge of her.
Just like Ou Wenna, Shen Qiting and the others, everyone was busy with their own affairs, and Zhou Ruo was no exception.
Zhou Ruo, who has regained her strength, can do much more in terms of treatment than on Earth. In order to facilitate research, Zhou Ruo directly brought all the medical experts she worked with on Earth to Parnaki, and all kinds of research equipment and even generators were available. Now Zhou Ruo, the priests of the "Temple of Life", and medical experts from Earth are constantly exploring treatments for various difficult and complicated diseases.
They are currently researching Qiao Muyin's disease, and have made some progress so far. I believe that in time, Qiao Muyin and other patients with the same disease will receive perfect treatment.
If he unfortunately dies, Qiao Muyu doesn't have to worry at all. Just like Ran Luo who died before, his dead soul was attracted by the channel and entered Parnaki. Now that the channel between the two worlds is open, the reincarnation system will also be restarted. The souls of all the creatures who died on Earth will not disappear, but will enter Parnaki and reincarnate to start a new life. And those lives that died in Parnaki can also choose to reincarnate on Earth, or stay in Parnaki and continue to practice in the form of souls.
The former can feel the beauty of being a human again, while the latter can have a longer life, but may also completely disappear due to the exhaustion of magic power. Both have their pros and cons, and each creature can choose freely.
The reason why Qiao Muyu took his sister to Parnaki was for this. Once Qiao Muyin encountered any accident, or wanted to give up treatment because of the pain, Qiao Muyu would directly start plan B and let Qiao Muyin start practicing as a dead spirit.
With him around, Qiao Muyin will never disappear.
While Zhou Ruo was busy with medical research, he was also constantly looking for the souls that went from Earth to Parnaki as the passage opened. In addition to wanting to observe the changes in their souls, he also wanted to find old friends.
...
Relying on the popularity created by the food, the Chinese government struck while the iron was hot and quickly held the second food-related event in Parnaky - the Chinese Food Festival.
This time only China participated, and the venue was moved from the "Forest of Elves" to the "Kingdom of Kyrenia", which is Su Mu's mermaid kingdom.
The reason for changing the location was naturally because of Su Mu's invitation.
As the person who brought Earth delicacies to Parnaki, barbecue has long become the external symbol of the mermaids. Although Su Mu welcomes Earth delicacies, he cannot let the huge foreign exchange channel of the Kingdom of Kyrenia disappear.
Since Su Mu is a Chinese, the best way is to deeply bind China and the Kingdom of Kyrenia, and thoroughly infiltrate Chinese cuisine into every corner of the Kingdom of Kyrenia - Want to eat authentic Chinese cuisine? No need to travel through another world, just come to Kyrenia.
With the current buzz about Earth Cuisine in Parnaki, there is no doubt that this collaboration will greatly promote tourism in Kyrenia.
As for whether it will have an impact on Kyrenia's traditional cuisine - the word "cooking" did not exist in the mermaids' dictionary in the past, and marine creatures have always eaten the fish they caught directly.
By utilizing the tourism resources brought by the food festival, Su Mu can also bypass those opposing ministers and elders and deepen cooperation with China in all aspects.
As a wandering bard traveling around Parnaqui, Si Jishi naturally had the responsibility to once again serve as the Chinese guide for this event.
But this time, it was not only the Chinese government that came to see Ji Shi, but also the variety show staff of Fruit Channel.
——The news about the cooking exchange conference before, Si Jishi, as the guide, naturally appeared on the screen. Unlike others, Si Jishi is a complete celebrity in China, and rounding off and being related to the entertainment industry is also a little bit.
Now Si Jishi no longer hides his identity. Although he has not said it explicitly, everyone, including his fans, have guessed that he was once a "time traveler."
"Want me to be the tour guide and MC, and take the guests and staff to Parnaky to shoot a show?" Si Jishi looked at the project plan handed to her, and immediately saw the three big names "Lin Lang", "Su Mu" and "Lin Shen" on the proposed guest list.
On the other end of the phone, the producer of the program was still introducing his program to Si Jishi earnestly. Si Jishi was too lazy to listen to him and asked directly: "I want to ask you, has the guest list been confirmed?"
"This..." The producer choked. The proposed guests were just for the sponsors to see, and they would not follow the proposed list. How could he explain this to Si Jishi?
But the other party obviously hoped that all the members on the proposed list would be present. The producer gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Confirmed! These are the people!"
"Okay!" Si Jishi said with a smile, "I agree, but I'll decide the location."
"Ah?" The producer didn't expect to hear this answer, and asked quickly: "Where do you want to take us?"
"The Kingdom of Kyrenia - the home of mermaids."
