Raven 12345 had emphasized twice that she was fully in charge, and Hao Ren felt that there was a hidden meaning behind it. Perhaps it was some kind of test, or perhaps the seemingly silly, neurotic goddess was going to assign him some responsibility. Either way, he had to accept it.
But at the same time, Hao Ren was a little excited. He knew that Raven 12345 would jump out to warn him before things got out of hand, so he felt that this was a relatively safe opportunity to broaden his horizons.
Hilda waited for Hao Ren to finish studying the MDT before she asked in a low voice, "Can you send me back?"
"Oh, no problem," Hao Ren patted his chest confidently. The idiotic guide to dealing with transmigrators made him feel that the whole process was not complicated at all. "I'll give you a check-up when I get back. According to the guide, I'll be able to determine your origin world in about two or three days. I'll personally send you to your planet."
When Hao Ren mentioned the word "planet", Hilda opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just nodded gratefully. Hao Ren looked up at Raven 12345 and said, "Then I have nothing else to do. I'll go back first."
Raven 12345 picked up the bowl and continued to slurp the noodle soup. "Well, go ahead..."
Hao Ren looked at the goddess who was not acting like a gentleman and could not help but remind her, "You put too much salt in the noodle..."
This was the first time in Hao Ren's life that he had eaten Holy Communion — the real Holy Communion in every sense of the word. It was made by the goddess of the universe, and the dining place was next to the reception room in heaven. In a slightly more normal religious setting, this should be a privilege that all the kings and bishops in the world would fight over. But Hao Ren felt that it was better to go home and ask Vivian for a bowl of soup. The Holy Communion was a bowl of noodle soup with a few noodles and vegetables, and there was too much salt. Hao Ren felt that Raven 12345's cooking was not as good as Lily's.
Hao Ren led Hilda out of the "heaven" with several big holes. The first thing he did was not to go home, but to go to the city to buy a change of clothes for Hilda and some snacks for Lily. Hilda looked embarrassed when she heard the arrangement. "I'm fine like this. You don't have to spend money..."
"Don't mention it. It will be reimbursed." Hao Ren said as he looked at Hilda's appearance. The queen was still wearing the white dress that they met in the Plane of Dreams. The style of the dress was a bit like a combination of a trench coat and a long skirt. It used to be an exquisite dress, but during the days when Hilda was in the Plane of Dreams, the dress had been badly damaged. It was not suitable for long-distance travel in the wild. Hilda had cut off the long hem and many decorative lace to make it easier for her to move. Moreover, the activity in the mountains and forests had caused the dress to be scratched and stained. Hao Ren felt that it was inappropriate for such a beautiful elf to wear this kind of dress. Becky could still wear Nangong Wuyue's clothes, but Hilda was half a head taller than Hao Ren. She had no choice but to buy a new one.
Before the two reached the city, Hao Ren reminded Hilda to put on her hood because the latter's long elven ears would definitely attract attention in the busy city. Even so, Hilda's particularly eye-catching figure and appearance still attracted a certain degree of attention. Hilda subconsciously tugged at her clothes. "It's weird for me to be here like this, isn't it?"
Hao Ren did not expect to see so many people on the street. He asked Hilda to be careful not to expose her ears as he looked for a relatively quiet place. "It's okay, it's okay. There are all kinds of people in strange clothes these days. As long as you look natural, it will be fine."
"Oh," Hilda replied. She curiously observed the strange and novel world as she followed Hao Ren through a few crowded intersections. Soon, they noticed that the curious gazes around them had lessened. It seemed that people were no longer paying attention to Hilda's strange clothes. Hao Ren was curious about what was going on. When he looked up, he found himself standing in front of the cultural square. In front of him was a group of young people wearing leather plate armor and chainmail, carrying knives, swords, staffs, and meteor hammers. There were also two men in dark cloaks handing out flyers. Not far away, there was a girl wearing almost the same clothes as Hilda — but her clothes were much cleaner.
Hilda was stunned as she looked at the chaotic... noisy scene in front of her. Her brain could not wrap around it. "Are we back in The Plane of Dreams again?"
Hao Ren slapped his forehead and finally remembered what was going on here. "Hey, the city is holding a cartoon festival. This is a cosplay exhibition!"
Hilda was tongue-tied. "C... What?"
She used a special language proficiency magic to forcibly read the shallow thinking of the surrounding intelligent creatures to learn strange languages. The more people there were, the faster she could learn strange languages. However, this magic was after all not as good as Hao Ren's global translation hack. When faced with some of the less used foreign words and their pronunciation, she was tongue-tied, just like an ordinary person speaking a foreign language for the first time.
"Cosplay, one of the cultures on Earth. You don't have to know what it means. Anyway, it's very helpful for us now." Hao Ren said happily. He finally found a place where his otherworldlings could transform back into their original forms and run around — it turned out to be a cosplay exhibition. In this place, Vivian and Lily could let their wings and tail out for fresh air. Places like the indoor swimming pool were also very suitable for Nangong Wuyue. However, Y'zaks still could not help it. It was difficult to explain a five to six meters tall lava demon with props and special effects. In fact, even if Y'zaks appeared in human form here, it was like a cosplay. The demon's face was too postmodern. Other than using makeup to explain it, it was difficult to explain how a person could look like that with normal genetics and genes...
With his brain going berserk, Hao Ren pulled Hilda towards the shopping mall near the square. As they walked, he said, "If anyone really asks, just say that you are participating in CosPlay... Of course, it would be best if no one asks."
Hilda nodded in confusion. Anyway, she would listen to whatever Hao Ren said. However, when they passed by the fountain in front of the square, Her Majesty suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, "Ah —"
Hao Ren was shocked. "What's wrong?"
"The water... and the power to spray it..." Hilda pointed at the fountain in disbelief. "Why are you guys doing this?"
"Why... for show?" Hao Ren was baffled by the question. "This is a fountain. You don't even have a fountain at your place?"
"I know this kind of thing." Hilda frowned in disbelief. "But only in the ecological dome, used to maintain the ecology of the botanical garden. And it's much smaller than this one, and the efficiency of the water distribution is also very high. You guys put this' fountain 'out in the open just for show? "
Hao Ren could only nod. Soon, Hilda found more unacceptable things. "What is the display on the building over there doing? Isn't it announcing important information? Why do I feel that it is repeating something meaningless over and over again? "
"Err... that's for show and advertising."
"What about the balloons in the sky? And there are so many fabrics under the balloons. Can't those fabrics be made into clothes or something else? Why do they have to paint so many colors and hang it in the sky? "
"It's still for show."
As Hilda calmed down from the initial surprise and excitement, she began to have more energy to pay attention to the details of this complex world. So, she found more and more "incredible" things. In her eyes, The Plane of Dreams was already a world of extraordinary abundance. But here, she saw an even more abundant and extravagant lifestyle. Finally, when she and Hao Ren passed through the large open-air square, she could not suppress her excitement. "You guys... are wasteful."
Hao Ren looked at her, puzzled.
"Too many resources... water, energy, all kinds of living materials, these are very precious things, but you guys use them on a large scale for useless activities." Hilda looked down at the things in her hand. It was snacks that Hao Ren bought for her when they passed by a stall on the edge of the square. "And this meaningless packaging. This soft material seems to be disposable. This is unimaginable in my world. We haven't had this luxury for a long time. "
Hao Ren was suddenly very curious about what Hilda's hometown was like. The depletion of resources there seemed to be more serious than he thought.
(It's the end of the month. Reflexively asking for a monthly ticket =. =)
