She kept babbling on and on, and Gu Xixi just went along with it, while casually unpacking the pile of gifts that Zhang Chunhua had brought her.

In ancient times, rouge, silk and satin, jade bracelets, and so on... were all things that girls liked.

"Yes, yes, yes, now our Ms. Chunhua is a rich woman, a super rich woman! Thank you for the gift, rich woman!" Gu Xixi smiled and pointed to the items in the supermarket, "Take whatever you want, it's all free. You should be stocking up now, right?"

Now that she has successfully lost weight, she can eat whatever she wants.

"Hehe, you know me." Zhang Chunhua smiled slyly and immediately went to the supermarket shelves to pick up things, as if she knew exactly where she was going.

Gu Xixi hasn't been around for the past two years, and she's always too embarrassed to say anything when she comes, so she's never taken any snacks home. Otherwise, her weight loss wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Today, the bitterness has finally come to an end.

It's been two years.

Zhang Chunhua loaded the snacks into her small pickup truck. It was almost time, so she quickly drove off, said goodbye, and entered the fog. The Mermaid King appeared after she disappeared.

He was holding several things in his hands, which looked like fragments of a shipwreck.

Gu Xixi hurriedly got up and went over, "Your Majesty the Mermaid Emperor, you've arrived, welcome, welcome."

"Okay. These are what you wanted. We found a shipwreck and are currently salvaging and collecting materials. I'll bring them to you after the other merfolk bring them back. Here are some fragments from inside; take a look at them first."

He wouldn't have bothered coming if he wasn't worried about Gu Xixi's progress.

The Mermaid King handed it over, his eyes full of anticipation for praise. Gu Xixi could tell at a glance and smiled slightly, "Wow, thank you, Your Majesty the Mermaid King. You are so amazing. You must have been worried that I would be concerned, so you sent it first."

"Has His Holiness the Pope finished his snacks? Shall I prepare some more for you?"

Gu Xixi reached out and took everything from Chu Feng, who then handed it to Professor Wei.

The Mermaid King grunted again before making his request, "I want that, are you alright? And some Inner Mongolian yak jerky. Just prepare a few hundred pounds of each, I don't eat much."

Gu Xixi: ...

Well, that's quite a small amount of food.

“Alright, then I’ll send you another portion, a thousand catties of each, okay?” Gu Xixi’s words were perfectly timed, and sure enough, the Pope’s expression became even more gentle.

Chen Yu wrote it down and began preparations.

The goods were easily allocated and delivered in less than half an hour. The Mermaid King and Chen Yu stared at each other for half an hour.

After seeing off the Mermaid King, the work was considered finished. Gu Xixi stretched and walked out, with Chu Feng following behind. "Xixi, the remaining members of the Yuanmingyuan action team have reported to the villa. The descendant of Ren Liang, whom the general sent, is named Ren Xuan. He's a freshman at the National University of Defense Technology..."

"Okay, let's go back and have a meeting to go over the detailed plans and arrangements. Make sure everyone remembers them so that we can help each other when needed."

Gu Xixi got into the car and continued looking at the materials about that period.

Back at the villa, Gu Xixi led a meeting with the project team members. The meeting lasted for three hours. When they came out of the meeting room, everyone's clothes for the time travel had arrived.

Ran Qing distributed the clothes, and Gu Xixi also received a set. As the shopkeeper, she received clothes worn by people with a little wealth at the time. The colors were simple and the style was similar to the cheongsams worn by women in the late Qing Dynasty.

The others were dressed in the most ordinary clothes, a shirt and pants, but Gu Xixi could tell that these soldiers were tall and upright even in their clothes.

That damn superior aura!

"Xixi, I'm a little nervous." Ran Qing, who was usually quiet, suddenly spoke up to share her feelings. Gu Xixi turned around in surprise, "What are you afraid of?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of death or anything, it's just that the thought of bringing those things back, and us taking them back with our own hands, makes me nervous. I don't know about others, but my grandfather and my father were both scientists, and they have been contributing to the country's development since the founding of the People's Republic of China. So I've seen our country gradually and painstakingly get to where it is today since I was a child."

Ran Qing smiled as she spoke. She had always felt that she had never received a mission to demonstrate her value since joining the army, but now... a big one had come along. That was great.

"The news from the airshow a few days ago all said that we have become powerful and can now show our face to other countries. I am also very happy. I wonder how happy everyone will be when our cultural relics are announced in the future."

Gu Xixi nodded, "Don't worry, there are so many of us, this day will come soon."

Chen Yu chimed in, "Wouldn't it be great if all the cultural relics that belong to us overseas suddenly became fakes or simply disappeared on the spot? That would be even more awesome."

Gu Xixi had also fantasized about this, but she was already very fortunate to have such an opportunity now, and she dared not ask for too much.

Furthermore, if everyone ends up with the same model, ours will be the real thing, while the foreigners' will be fake, humph.

Before Gu Xixi could finish laughing, her stomach suddenly cramped, and in an instant, the pain made her break out in a cold sweat.

Gu Xixi immediately squatted down and hugged her stomach.

"Xixi, Xixi, what's wrong?" Chen Yu was startled. Goodness, something bad must not happen at this time.

Everyone looked over; something was wrong with Gu Xixi…

The doctor from the villa rushed over. Gu Xixi was in so much pain that she couldn't speak and was breathing heavily, trying to relieve the pain.

"Didn't we just have a physical exam the day before yesterday? How come suddenly..." Chen Yu didn't understand. He thought of Gu's parents' illness... Could it be hereditary?

The doctor hurriedly examined Gu Xixi, and when he pressed on her abdomen, Gu Xixi's pain was relieved a lot.

After she recovered, she felt a warm current running through her body... a warm current, right, it's been half a year since her last period.

She only comes once every six months, oh my god...

Gu Xixi covered her face, embarrassed. "I'm fine. Ran Qing, help me back to my room. Chu Feng, you guys continue." Ran Qing then carried Gu Xixi away in a princess carry.

Gu Xixi: !!!

So handsome... Ouch, but it hurts.

She immediately messaged Chu Feng to explain the situation and asked for another packet of arginine. Fifteen minutes later, Gu Xixi had fully recovered and lay on the bed, letting out a comfortable sigh.

She took out her phone, replied to everyone's messages, and saw the latest news from the space agency.

Over the next decade, space city construction will continue, making space colonization a reality. Reports indicate that the China National Space Administration has already begun preparing a super version of the space station…

This is still a message from the official website.

Wow, you announced it so quickly! It seems you've already mastered controlled nuclear fusion technology and have the final technological backing, which is why you're making such a bold announcement.

Gu Xixi scrolled down to the comments section and burst out laughing.

[It's official news... I was just about to yell at which rumor-monger was spreading this nonsense, but have I traveled back in time? I remember we only just built our first space laboratory.]
