Quick-travel system: The host is having a blast in the small world

"Ah! Help!"

A heart-wrenching cry for help broke the silence in the air.

Lin Dai suddenly woke up and sat up, breathing heavily, her whole body soaked with cold sweat. She hurriedly touched her body, recalling the lightning that struck her just now, and the pain that penetrated her bones was still lingering.

But the strange thing is that there is no injury on her body? Did someone save her?

Lin Dai looked around in confusion, and suddenly found that there were several people standing at the door, looking at her with strange eyes.

"Were you the ones who saved me?" Lin Dai asked with a hint of uncertainty.

Several people at the door came in upon hearing the noise. One of them was an old man with a kind face who seemed to be the head of the family. He slowly walked to the bed, sat on the stool beside it, and said with a kind smile: "Girl, you must have been frightened just now. It's good that you woke up. Rest assured and you will be fine soon."

Lin Dai was filled with gratitude and quickly said, "Thank you for saving my life, old man. I will never forget it."

The old man laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Haha, Miss Lin, you've got the wrong person to thank. It was my naughty granddaughter who found you, so we brought you into the house. You've been in a coma for two days, but luckily you're fine, just a little frightened."

As he spoke, the old man pointed to a little girl who looked about five or six years old. The little girl smiled shyly, then hid behind a man, with only half of her head showing.

Lin Dai looked at him with a trace of disbelief. She slowly stretched out her hand and pointed at the little girl: "Uncle, the little girl you are talking about who saved me is not her, is she?"

The old man smiled and nodded.

"How is it possible?" Lin Dai's tone was full of surprise and confusion. She couldn't imagine that this young and timid little girl in front of her could be her savior. "Old man, she looks so young, how could she save me from the thunder and lightning?"

The old man showed a puzzled expression on his face: "Thunder and lightning? The weather has been sunny in recent days, and there has been no thunderstorm. You fainted in my yard and were found by my little granddaughter who was playing."

"Fainted in the yard?"

Lin Dai repeated the old man's words, her heart full of confusion and puzzlement. So, someone saved her and put her in this family's yard.

Just as she was lost in thought, a woman came in with a bowl in her hand. When the little girl saw her, she ran over happily and called out sweetly, "Mom~"

The woman touched her head lovingly, then walked to the old man and said softly, "Father, the medicine has been boiled and is at the right temperature. You can drink it."

The old man nodded, turned to Lin Dai and said, "Miss Lin, this is the tranquilizer my daughter-in-law prepared specially for you. Drink it while it's hot."

The woman handed the bowl to Lin Dai and motioned for her to drink quickly.

Lin Dai was just about to reach out to take it, but when her eyes fell on the black medicine in the bowl, she was suddenly stunned.

"Auntie, are you bringing... medicine?" Lin Dai asked in disbelief.

The woman replied, "Yes, this is a tranquilizer I made myself. I hope it can help you calm your nerves."

"Boil? You mean boiled?"

Lin Dai confirmed again, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. Could it be that she had traveled to another world again?

Lin Dai finally reacted and quickly looked at herself. She was so nervous and scared that she didn't pay attention to what she was wearing.

Modern clothes, white shoes by the bed, and glasses by the bed! Exactly the same scene.

Lin Dai quickly asked, "Excuse me, where is this place?"

Seeing the panicked look on the woman's face, the old man quickly replied, "This is Wuyoutun!"

"What?" Lin Dai exclaimed in disbelief, with shock written all over her face. She then asked, "Is it Wuyoutun in the extreme of the Netherworld?"

The people in the room looked at her strange reaction and nodded in confusion.

"So I didn't travel to another world, but wasn't I in Youlan City? Why am I back in Wuyou Village and wearing modern clothes?"

Listening to her words, although he didn't understand everything, he still understood one sentence. The old man said in surprise: "Miss Lin is from Youlan City?"

Remembering that the fake identity she used in Wuyoutun was from Youlan City, Lin Dai nodded.

Lin Dai thought for a moment, but still couldn't sort out her thoughts, so she decided to put this issue aside for the time being and slowly investigate it later.

When she cast her eyes on the bowl of medicine again, she couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Aunt, don't you usually drink the Bi Teng Lu directly here?"

When the people in the room heard this, they all showed a bit of embarrassment on their faces and explained: "Bi Teng Lu is a relatively precious medicine. We don't have it at home."

"what?"

Isn't this Bi Teng Lu a daily tonic for every household? But realizing that the atmosphere was rather subtle, Lin Dai didn't ask any more questions. She raised her hand to take the bowl from the woman, subconsciously took a deep breath, and drank it all. After drinking it, she realized that something was still wrong.

"Auntie, how did you make this medicine?"

"For this medicine, first boil it over high heat, then simmer it over low heat, so that the essence of the medicinal materials can be concentrated..."

"Wait?" Lin Dai seemed to have heard something incredible. "Auntie said to use fire, right?"

"That's right, what else can we use if not fire?" the woman answered with a confused look on her face.

At this moment, Lin Dai suddenly woke up and realized that things were far more complicated than she had imagined. She quickly got out of bed, put on her shoes, rushed out of the room, stood at the door, and stared at the house with smoke rising from the kitchen outside.

She stretched out her hand tremblingly, pointed at the smoke, turned around, and asked stutteringly: "What... are those?"

Seeing how nervous she was, the people in the house hurried over to see what was happening outside, but there was nothing unusual except the smoke rising from cooking in every household.

The old man's son quietly approached his father and whispered, "Father, this Miss Lin has been talking in a daze since she woke up. Is there something wrong with her brain? She seems a little abnormal."

After hearing this, the woman next to him nodded and agreed: "Yes, it seems there is a problem."

The old man also nodded instantly.

Lin Dai, who was hearing everything clearly at the side, couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. She silently closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed her inner excitement.

After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes and comforted herself not to bother with them and to ask someone she knew.

"Uncle, I wonder which direction Gusu's house is. I want to go see her."

"Gusupo?"

The old man lowered his eyes and thought carefully, then replied, "I don't know Gusu Po, and I don't know which village she is from. Perhaps I can ask my son Qinghan to help find out."

"She is from Wuyou Village?"

The old man turned to look at his son Qinghan and asked, "Qinghan, have you heard of this person?"

Qing Han also shook his head and answered affirmatively: "No, there doesn't seem to be such a person in Wuyou Village."

"How could it not be?"

Lin Dai looked at them in confusion, and then fell into confusion. What on earth was going on? She even wondered if she was being played by someone.

Turning around and looking at the houses outside, Lin Dai discovered that not only did every household learn how to cook, but everything around them had also undergone tremendous changes.

She turned around suddenly and looked carefully at the furnishings in the room. Everything was different. Many things were different from the Wuyoutun in her memory.

Lin Dai stared at the candlelight on the table, wondering: It has only been half a month since she left Wuyou Village. Has fire become so popular so quickly? She turned around and asked them, "When did you start allowing the use of fire? I remember that the use of fire was strictly prohibited in the Nether Realm before."

The old man's son scratched his head, looking puzzled: "Hasn't this fire always been there?"

The old man paced slowly in the room, thought for a moment, then stopped and said, "I've heard about this before. It seems that there was no fire here before, but later people found that fire had many benefits and uses, so they gradually allowed its use."

"Yes, yes, old man, how long has it been since you first started using fire?" Lin Dai asked happily.

"It seems like many years, maybe more than two thousand or three thousand years."

"what!"

When Lin Dai heard the news, her mind went blank, her ears buzzed, and she was overwhelmed by this huge shock. She widened her eyes in disbelief, and she couldn't understand why a thousand years had passed in just one sleep.

She bit her lips subconsciously, frowned tightly, and fell into deep thought. After some hard thinking, she came up with a reasonable explanation: after she was struck to death by lightning, she traveled to this world again, but it was the Nether Realm Pole a thousand years later.

Thinking of this, she sighed deeply, her heart filled with helplessness and emotion. She guessed that this must be the system's doing. She was struck to death by lightning before she had time to do anything, so it happened again.

After figuring it out, Lin Dai tentatively called the system in her heart, but there was no response just like before. It seemed that she still had to explore Youlan City again.

So, Lin Dai continued to slowly understand the current situation of the Nether Realm with them.

After more than three thousand years, the polar regions of the netherworld have undergone tremendous changes. First, the population has increased significantly, and now has reached about 5,000 people. In a small polar region, a tribe is not a small number, and their diet and living habits have also undergone tremendous changes.

Secondly, the management system of the Nether Realm was also adjusted. Now, each village is no longer directly governed by the Youlan City, but is managed by special managers selected by the city lord, and reports to the main city regularly.

Furthermore, one no longer needs a jade token to verify identity when entering or leaving Youlan City. Instead, guards will conduct strict checks on people coming in and out, and only allow entry into the city after ensuring their safety.

This is because the barrier of Youlan City has been cancelled, which is also to allow Youlan City to welcome the change of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and bring a new natural life experience to the people of the city.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the protection of the secret realm. Not many people still know about it, but there are still a large number of practitioners guarding it in secret.

Lin Dai stayed in Wuyoutun for a few days. After getting a clear understanding of the current world, she prepared to go to Youlan City again.

However, this time she went alone on the spirit beast, which made it much more convenient for her to enter the city. But she was still penniless at this time, so she had to borrow some money from the old man's family - shells, the common exchange currency in the polar regions.
