Xuan Qi took a deep breath.
She left this place and came to Tianyu Divine Mountain.
This is the legendary stronghold of the evil god, a place of extreme evil.
However, she also witnessed a shocking scene.
There are more factories here than in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain; as far as the eye can see, they seem to stretch on forever.
It was as if one colossal structure after another stood before us, surrounded by countless bustling crowds.
In addition to the metallic and steamy smells unique to industrial areas, the air also carried a faint, extremely overpowering fragrance.
It tastes like cumin and chili.
There's also a sweet, milky aroma.
The smell was so familiar that it made her heart skip a beat.
She inexplicably bypassed the factory's massive main building and followed the source of the fragrance.
Behind the factory, there was a hidden world.
A brightly lit street, bustling with people and steaming with heat.
"Boss! Twenty more skewers of grilled pork, extra spicy!"
"Is my fried chicken ready yet? I'm in a hurry to get back to see the new show at the Mountain God Theater!"
"Give me a bubble tea, full sugar, no ice!"
Xuan Qi's steps were completely rooted to the spot.
She looked at the stalls, at the sizzling, oily kebabs, at the golden, crispy fried chicken nuggets sprinkled with seaweed powder, and at the small black glutinous rice balls bobbing in the cup.
Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
This is not...
Isn't this the smell of the night market downstairs from before she time-traveled?
An elderly woman in an apron deftly brushed sauce onto a skewer of grilled meat and handed it to a customer, her movements so practiced it seemed she had been doing it for twenty years.
Xuan Qi walked forward blankly, his throat dry.
"Give me one of those. Fried chicken."
"Alright! Here's your crispy chicken cutlet!"
When the steaming, fragrant chicken cutlet was handed to her, Xuan Qi almost burst into tears.
She took a bite.
The outer layer is crispy, while the inside is tender and juicy.
This is the taste.
It was a taste from another world deep in her memory.
Just as she was lost in thought, a gentle voice sounded beside her.
"This tastes authentic, it's the taste of home, right?"
Xuan Qi was startled, his body tensed instantly, and the card hidden in his sleeve was ready to be used.
She turned her head and saw a woman wearing a pristine white doctor's robe.
The woman was about twenty years old, wearing frameless glasses, with a gentle demeanor, and holding a bowl of steaming oden in her hand.
Her eyes were clear, and she had a kind smile.
"We've been exposed!"
This was the only thought in Xuan Qi's mind.
"Don't panic, don't panic."
The woman seemed to read her mind and quickly waved her hand to indicate that she meant no harm.
Her smile softened.
"Judging from your reaction, I guessed it. Don't be nervous, me too."
Xuan Qi's pupils suddenly contracted.
"We have many time travelers on Tianyu Mountain," the woman said softly, a hint of pride in her voice. Everyone calls this the time traveler's headquarters!
The Time Travelers' Headquarters?
Xuan Qi felt that his worldview had been repeatedly shattered.
Now someone wants to use these fragments to piece together an even more outrageous answer for her.
"My name is Tong Yiwen, and I used to be a nurse."
Tong Yiwen introduced herself.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
Xuan Qi was pulled away by this woman named Tong Yiwen without even realizing it.
They walked through the food street, climbed the sacred mountain, and arrived at a well-planned residential area.
"These are Zhangjia Village and Linjia Village, where the local villagers live."
Tong Yiwen pointed to the courtyards with their blue bricks and gray tiles and said.
Then, she pointed to a group of buildings in the distance with a completely different style, featuring a modern and minimalist design.
"That's our Flower Planting Village, a special settlement for us transmigrators."
“We still have many brothers and sisters, but recently the Mountain Goddess issued a new mission, and they have all gone out to do disaster relief, construction, or publicity, and haven’t returned yet.”
Tong Yiwen introduced them as if they were her own treasures.
"See that observatory on the mountaintop? That was built by Sister Zhongyan. She has a PhD in physics and specializes in studying the patterns of natural disasters in this world."
"And the highest-yielding grain varieties in our Tianyu Mountain were all cultivated by Le Bai, who is a top agronomist."
"Oh, by the way, our county magistrate Xu Rurong is also one of our own. She's practically turned the whole county into a model pilot area."
As they were talking, a little girl with pigtails ran out of the flower-planting village, carrying a plate of freshly baked cookies.
"Sister Yiwen! You're back! Is this the new sister?"
The little girl looked at Xuan Qi curiously, then enthusiastically handed him the cookies.
"Hi sister! My name is Lily! Try my freshly baked cookies!"
Immediately afterwards, several more people poked their heads out of the village.
A man wearing a plaid shirt, who looked like a programmer, brought over a bowl of sliced watermelon.
A young lady dressed in Hanfu and with exquisite makeup brought over a pot of chilled plum juice.
"We have a new friend! Welcome, welcome!"
"Come on, come on, let's have a bonfire party tonight!"
Tong Yiwen smiled and nodded repeatedly, then took a cookie and handed it to Xuan Qi.
Xuan Qi looked at the cookies in his hand, then at the sincere and enthusiastic smiling faces in front of him, and was completely speechless.
There is no suspicion, no exploitation, and none of the deceit and treachery described by the medical angel.
Only the warmth of home.
Over the next period of time, Tong Yiwen took Xuan Qi to explore almost the entire Tianyu Mountain.
She saw in the huge glass factory that workers were producing a completely transparent, impurity-free glass, clearer than crystal.
Boxes of finished products were snapped up by merchants from all over the world at high prices, and the ecstasy on their faces seemed genuine.
She saw that in the tool factory, strangely shaped farm implements were being produced on the assembly line, which were said to increase the efficiency of farming tenfold.
Countless people lined up to buy these farm tools and high-yield seeds at cheap prices, their faces beaming with longing and hope for a bountiful harvest.
She also saw pharmaceutical factories, textile factories, paper mills...
Each factory is like a tireless heart, supplying this land with lifeblood.
Throughout the entire process, Xuan Qi remained completely silent.
She just watched and listened.
In her mind, she had already taken the medical god's warning that the mountain god was the biggest cancer in the world as a joke.
If this is a malignant tumor.
She would rather let this cancer spread throughout the entire world.
