Chu Feng returned quickly. "Xi Xi, we can deploy the submarine after noon. You can stay here..."

"Set the time at one o'clock and make all the preparations." Gu Xixi replied and continued eating. Beside her, in front of "Shen Qingyan," there was also a plate of dumplings.

"You can eat that?" Gu Xixi chuckled, then ate two more as if showing off.

Shen Qingyan shook her head. "Not yet, I don't have my five senses right now. But I like it, I want to see it, and I want to have dinner with you."

Gu Xixi: So cheesy...

Shen Qingyan seems to enjoy eating with her too… Why is this damn system copying him… Right, he said he would help me desensitize myself… He must be doing it on purpose.

After thinking it through, Gu Xixi immediately shifted her position, moving further away from him, and rolled her eyes as she did so.

Shen Qingyan witnessed everything, was first stunned, then understood, and lowered her eyes with a gentle smile.

……

Meanwhile, in the land of giants.

After the city lord of the Giant Kingdom discovered the flyers in the city, he realized that many people had already been drawn to buy things and tell stories.

He feared it was a trick by Lilliputians, so he was leading his troops out of the city, and had just raised his hand, "Out..."

Before he could even utter the word "fa," a number of giant civilians suddenly appeared around him, leaving the civilians bewildered.

"Weren't we just at the Fa Da Cai Supermarket? How did we suddenly come back?"

"Yeah, that's so weird. That supermarket is so strange; it was able to send all of us back in an instant!"

"We are the most powerful giants on this continent, Lord City Lord, Lord Abangtai!"

……

The crowd immediately began to bow to Lord Abangtai of the Giant Kingdom.

This is the largest city in the Kingdom of Giants, and Abangtai is naturally the most powerful of the five city lords.

Lord Abangtai immediately waved his hand, indicating that everyone did not need to bow, and then asked, "You just came back from the Fa Da Cai Supermarket. What is that supermarket like? What does it do? And why did you suddenly appear in the city?"

The group chattered and explained it over and over.

"So it seems the supermarket owner was afraid you'd fight, so he sent you back." Lord Abangtai's impression of Gu Xixi improved somewhat.

A peace-loving person can't be all that bad.

"Don't panic, everyone. I, the city lord, will go to the Fortune Supermarket to investigate." Abangtai waved his hand again. "Everyone, listen up! Head to the border!"

Meanwhile, in Lilliput.

Just as Nana and her disguised officers were about to set off, they discovered that the civilians had all disappeared. They then witnessed everyone being brought back, which instilled fear in Nana of Gu Xixi's power.

"You said the 'Get Rich Supermarket' asked you to tell stories, but when you told us stories of our ancestors, you almost got into a fight with the people of the Giant Kingdom... Something says you're all lying?"

Nana's alarm bells rang loudly; Gu Xixi had previously inquired about their ancestors.

Therefore, Gu Xixi approached her with a specific purpose...

What exactly is she plotting? Is she an ally of the Giants, or does she want to eliminate the Lilliputians and the Giants—the foreign visitors...?

"Everyone, assemble and prepare to depart for the Fortune Supermarket!" Nana, dressed in military uniform, issued the order, and soon, the Lilliputian troops also headed towards the Fortune Supermarket.

……

At the Fa Da Cai Supermarket.

Gu Xixi had long guessed that they would all come to settle accounts with her. Once the news of exchanging stories for goods spread, the Lilliputians would definitely be the first to discover the problem.

[Brother Tongzi, could you extend the area from the supermarket to the riverbank and let everyone in the land of giants and the land of little people experience being trapped in a maze? Let's wear them down first, and then we'll meet again when we get back from the river.]

Otherwise, it would take who knows how long it would take to finish fighting with them here.

There was a possibility that the people from both countries might not allow them to go down into the river, so Gu Xixi planned to go down into the river first.

After lunch, at 1 p.m., Gu Xixi and the others appeared on the riverbank on time. After more than an hour of transmission, sorting, and activation, the small submarine sent by Modern was ready.

The small submarine could only accommodate 6 people, so the two special forces soldiers in charge of operating the submarine, Gu Xixi, Chu Feng, Professor Zheng, and Professor Wei, went inside.

After entering the submarine cabin and taking their seats, the submarine began its operations, moving forward according to the coordinates pre-set by Professor Zheng.

Gu Xixi has been to the sky, but he has never been to water hundreds of meters deep.

When she used to watch movies, what she feared most was when a submarine reached the bottom of the sea and couldn't get back. The despair of that combined with the fear of the deep sea made her feel suffocated even through the screen.

Just then, "Shen Qingyan" appeared. He stood next to Gu Xixi's seat and reached out his hand to her, "System-branded seatbelt, want it?"

"Yes." Gu Xixi quickly grabbed her last line of defense.

She had just reached out her hand when "Shen Qingyan" withdrew it.

Gu Xixi: ? ? ?

"My hands are too cold, I can't warm them up." Shen Qingyan took out a handkerchief from his pocket, put it in his palm, and extended his hand to Gu Xixi again.

Gu Xixi: Here we go again. Her gentle and considerate nature is exactly like Shen Qingyan's. No wonder it's a super intelligent system... She's learned it too well.

She reached out and shook hands, clearing her mind of all thoughts, and listened to the submarine's diving depth announcement.

Half an hour later, the submarine smoothly arrived near the coordinates mentioned by Professor Zheng. The submarine began its exploration and search, and within minutes, it found a place on the riverbed that was glowing faintly.

Images transmitted from the submarine's detection scope show that at the deepest part of the riverbed, a millstone-sized rock, at least a meter thick, is emitting a faint white light, resonating with some light on the riverbed surface.

She could vaguely sense the emanation of a magnetic field...

This is the gem that the people of the land of giants and the land of little people say their ancestors fought over.

Given their enormous size, it's possible that giants would fight and kill each other, but what about giants and tiny people...?

There are indeed many suspicious points regarding the source of their conflict.

"Xixi, look, here you can feel the changes in the magnetic field most clearly and to the greatest extent. This is the greatest mystery of this planet. It's a pity that people can't go out, otherwise we might be able to find some clues near that rock."

Professor Zheng carefully observed the images transmitted back by the probe, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

"The energy of that huge gem seems to be running out. The moment it stops shining, this planet will probably become a living hell."

Without the protection of an atmosphere, a sudden increase in temperature alone would be enough to turn this planet into a molten mess.

Gu Xixi sighed and looked at Shen Qingyan.

"can."

Before she could say anything, "Shen Qingyan" understood her meaning, nodded, and with a little force, pulled Gu Xixi into gradually becoming transparent.

The next second, Gu Xixi and "Shen Qingyan" were holding hands, floating on the bottom of the river, outside the submarine.

"We'll stay still and provide them with light," Chu Feng commanded.

Gu Xixi discovered that she was enveloped by an "eggshell" that emitted a bluish glow. Inside the eggshell, she could breathe and move freely.
