Haha, there are quite a lot of requests and they are quite diverse.

Some pray for their sows to give birth to two more piglets. Some pray for their grandchildren to be healthy and strong. Some pray for their descendants to pass high school and have a successor. Some pray for smooth sea transportation so that their family can board the ship. Some even pray for the gods to bless their hens to lay more chicks.

The official's face was filled with complexities. He really needed to pray to the gods. From the big things like ensuring his children passed college entrance exams and improved family status to the small things like ensuring his hens laid eggs and kept his crops free of insects, it was such a tedious and tedious task. Who else could possibly do it for him except praying to the gods?

Listening carefully, it turned out that the old ladies all had the same wish in the end, asking the gods to help drive the foreign barbarian monkeys out of their country. They also promised that if the gods helped to fulfill their wishes, they would make incense and offer sincere thanks every day.

The official's expression grew even more complicated. The soldier in the monitoring room, watching the surveillance camera outside, also had a complicated expression. The soldiers standing behind the electronic gate, ready to maintain order once it opened, also had complicated expressions upon hearing these prayers. The expressions of Zhao Lingyun's personal guards, lining up outside to maintain order, were even more indescribable.

This pie in the sky is so high that it's almost like a god? And there's still business requirements? Do you know you're asking for a god? If you know you're asking for a god, how dare you ask for anything? Why do you feel like you don't know? Good god, even a god has to meet KPIs.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the people in the monitoring room opened the door of the shopping mall.

As soon as the shops opened, people rushed in. The sun was out outside, and the heat was unbearable. But once inside, it was just as the man in line had said. The air conditioning inside was lingering, like early autumn.

"Dear guests and staff who maintain the mall, due to yesterday's booming business, lunch and dinner were delayed for everyone. Therefore, Boss Ling decided overnight to open the food stalls and snacks on the fourth floor. You can all dine there at your leisure. Staff members can eat for free with their work ID."

"I'll let you know again..."

As soon as everyone entered the mall, they heard a voice floating in the air. The voice was everywhere, and it seemed to be right next to their ears, but they couldn't find the person who was talking.

"Excuse me, young man, where does this sound come from?" a young boy asked the shopping guide curiously.

"It's the radio. People are in the studio, talking into the radio. The sound comes out." The shopping guide explained in a gentle voice.

"Does this mean there's a restaurant on the fourth floor?" the young man asked.

"Yes. If you need, you can go to the fourth floor for dinner. There will be someone to guide you there." The shopping guide led the teenagers to the step elevator.

"Go up from here and find an elevator similar to this one. Continue up. You'll reach the fourth floor. The fourth floor is the food court. Enjoy your meal."

The young men looked at the automatically moving ladder excitedly and couldn't wait to step on it.

The food area on the fourth floor is a busy scene of meal preparation.

"There are not many staff members coming up to eat. Distribute these takeaway meals to everyone." said a team leader.

"Lieutenant Ling said that yesterday, the ancient soldiers who came to help were given instant noodles with ham sausage, and each person received a braised chicken leg and a braised egg. It's not a good idea to send them off with these fast foods today." Another team leader said with a smile.

"Yes, so we ordered takeout early this morning. We'll go distribute the food later."

"Okay, I'll go get the last box. You just stay here and watch."

"Ok."

There was a bustling atmosphere here. Not to mention how happy Zhao Lingyun's personal soldiers were when they saw the breakfast being distributed.

Original plane, one day ago.

Taohua came back from the space-time gate dragging a wooden board of supplies.

The tribesmen cheered.

After Taohua took out salt, refined rice, and white flour.

The atmosphere reached its peak.

Taohua knocked on the wooden clapper, asking the tribesmen to calm down first.

Then he called all the tribesmen to come and form a circle. The tribesmen were puzzled, but still did as he was told.

"While there's still daylight, let's pass it around and see if anyone has seen it before. Don't break it, and be careful when you pass it around."

Taohua took out the photo of cotton plants that Ling Xiaoyue had printed out. Then she pinched out a small ball of cotton from the cotton Ling Xiaoyue had given her and passed it around.

"The plant on this animal skin is called cotton. The fruit it bears looks like this." Taohua held up a large ball of white cotton in her hand.

"This white, soft thing is called cotton. It can't be eaten, but it keeps us warm and helps us get through this cold winter!"

"Everyone, take a look. Has anyone seen one like this? As long as it's similar, it's fine. It may not look like this, but it may look something else. But as long as it's a white, soft, cotton-like fruit like this, it's fine." Taohua emphasized.

After everyone passed the photo of cotton around, they all frowned and began to think hard.

"Chief, I have seen this cotton in the Chi tribe." The priest walked out slowly and said.

Taohua was overjoyed. "Does the Chi tribe have this kind of cotton?"

"It's not that the Chi tribe has it. The Chi tribe picked a lot of flowers as decorations for their last marriage. I found it among those flowers."

"I remember now! Chief, priest, that bouquet of cotton flowers was collected by the boys from our tribe on the way to the Chi tribe. There are a lot of such cotton flowers. They are different from the ones in the pictures, but the flowers growing on the top are also white, and the fruits are like peaches with a very hard tip. They will burst open when exposed to the sun, and the burst fruits feel almost the same as cotton." A member of the tribe jumped up to share the information he remembered.

"That's true, that's true!" Another tribesman also remembered it after hearing it.

"I remember it too. I picked those flowers too. There were so many of them. They were everywhere on the mountain, and they smelled really nice!" The tribesmen who had gone to the Chi tribe to attend the wedding banquet all recalled it.

"But is there any way to go there now?" a tribesman asked worriedly.

"The cotton is not as tall and thin as shown in the picture. The fruits are as big as the head, and the bigger fruits are as big as the tiger's head." Another tribe member added worriedly.

After listening to the tribesmen's chatter, Taohua finally understood the information they were talking about.

Tall? Big? Tall and big is good. The immortals have long said that the plants and animals here are much larger than those in the fairy world. If the cotton is taller, there will be more cotton.

On the way to the Chi Tribe. It's not far, but it's not close either. Walking would take a whole day. Riding a mount should be enough for the round trip. There's no need to worry too much about the tribe's safety.

"Now that we know the whereabouts of the cotton, we will send someone there tomorrow to confirm whether the cotton fruits are still there." Taohua made a decision.
