Now, she needed to have a long talk with the Ugly Kingdom, so she simply came to Earth 300 years in the future in a parallel world that Jade and the others had abandoned.

She imagined a desolate planet, unable to grow edible crops or breed animals, perhaps barren and lifeless.

But what Gu Xixi saw when she looked up was a scene straight out of a science fiction movie.

Skyscrapers soar into the clouds, and the ground is not made of ordinary tiles; it looks like a glass panel, but it is not transparent.

Calling it glass wouldn't be accurate; stepping on it feels no different from walking on solid ground. I don't know what kind of technology has been added, but any footprints disappear instantly, and there's no dust or trash on the ground.

Between the skyscrapers, at a height of about 50 stories, lies the remnant of the now-defunct air transport system. The air transport lines weave through the sky like nimble snakes, graceful and beautiful.

There are also pedestrian walkways on the ground... The entire building is silver-white, with silver and blue colors complementing each other.

With the fantastical shapes of the buildings, if all the lights were on, Gu Xixi would definitely think she had entered another dimension, a science fiction space, rather than the human world.

Just by looking at it, you can imagine the fantastical aspects of this city and the Earth as it operates.

However, all of this felt too cold, and now that there were no traces of humans, it seemed even more eerie and terrifying.

Gu Xixi remembers seeing a common essay question when she was a student: "If one day you woke up and found yourself all alone on Earth, and then you heard a knock on your door, what would you do?"

She now truly understands... the silent fear and desolation of being the only person left on Earth!

Bang bang bang!

Just as Gu Xixi reached out and grabbed the handle of the small shop door on the street, a thought flashed through her mind in an instant, she heard a sudden knock on the door.

She was startled and quickly pulled her hand back, her back bumping into Shen Qingyan's chest. She was almost thrown off, but fortunately, the person behind her held her shoulder firmly.

Gu Xixi turned around and saw Shen Qingyan giving a guilty smile.

"Did you scare me on purpose just now? Shen Qingyan!" Gu Xixi really didn't expect that he would be... so unlike the person he used to be. "You and... you've changed!"

“I didn’t expect you to be so scared… No one stays the same, Xixi.” Shen Qingyan pushed open the door, her tone hesitant, tentative, and sad.

Gu Xixi followed him inside and found an empty table to sit down. "I didn't mean to say you've changed in a bad way, I was just surprised..." Last time, Shen Qingyan said he didn't know how many years he'd been working on systems...

She only knows the original Shen Qingyan and the current Shen Qingyan. There may be a year, ten years, several decades, or even hundreds or thousands of years in between... If Shen Qingyan doesn't change, then it really is just a formality.

"I know." Shen Qingyan lowered his eyes, and his blue robe seemed to have turned grayish.

Taking advantage of her moment of inattention, Gu Xixi asked, "So, you're finally admitting that you're Shen Qingyan?"

"Host, you're getting too into character!" Shen Qingyan's tone suddenly turned cold and mechanical again, her eyes hidden by her eyelashes, making it impossible to see her expression.

"Fine, you still won't admit it..." Gu Xixi pretended not to hear, "Didn't you say you were playing a stunt double? You shouldn't deny it now. You should play the part to the end and say it. You're not professional at all."

"Alright, alright, let's get started. The Black Ugly Country Space Agency sent a message." Gu Xixi immediately knew when to stop and changed the subject, "Let's finish this quickly so we can go for a walk around the neighborhood."

She wanted to see more of Earth 300 years from now.

Shen Qingyan immediately became serious. He placed his hands on the table, took out a laptop with a silver-white base and a transparent screen, adjusted the interface, and handed it to Gu Xixi.

"You enter the text of the signal you want to send, and it will automatically convert it into a signal of different frequency bands and send it to the United States. Although it is cross-dimensional, with the level of technology on Earth, it will only think that the coordinate system is too far away and therefore the exact location cannot be determined."

"But they will definitely believe the fact that the signal comes from outer space."

“Okay, I’ll write it…” Gu Xixi took the notebook and began editing the first message: [Hello friends from the Cosmic Star, this is a signal from Emerald Star. If you are also intelligent beings and use the dragon as your totem, please reply upon receiving this message.]

Gu Xixi sent the first message using more than ten different frequency bands, and then sent them all again after three minutes and ten minutes.

After confirming that the message had been delivered to the Ugly Kingdom on Earth, she began editing the second message: [Hello, friends from Earth. Is this the Land of Flowers, the distant ancient civilization ruins? We are from Emerald Star, your home planet. Upon receiving this message, we will provide you with technological development assistance so you can return to your home planet as soon as possible and state your needs.]

Gu Xixi scheduled this message for the same time three days from now. She would tease them a little first, and then, after the mission to Zhongyuan City was over in three days, she would come back to deceive them—no, to have a friendly exchange with them.

Although it sounds ridiculous... it's a genuine signal sent from outer space, and the U.S. has no choice but to believe it.

Furthermore, this "alien" of hers is looking for China... She's betting that the Ugly Country isn't afraid of its own danger, but rather that China will rise again after it takes off!

They'll try anything that can cause trouble for China or give them an advantage.

After finishing writing, Gu Xixi closed the notebook, and Shen Qingyan put it away. The two looked outside and quietly waited for a reply.

Meanwhile, at a research center in the United States.

When they received the first translatable alien message, everyone was in a state of excited anticipation. Then, the bombardment of a dozen or so identical messages on different wavelengths made them even more excited.

“Mr. Pete, we can confirm that this signal comes from other galaxies in the universe that are currently inaccessible to our technology. This is the first time in history that such a clear signal has been detected, which means that there are other intelligent beings in the universe besides us!”

"That's right, this will be a huge discovery, and it may even bring about earth-shattering changes to human history. Based on the information from different frequency bands, we speculate that the other party is a technological civilization that is more advanced than us."

“Mr. Pete, the signals from every frequency band have been translated. They say they are searching for a civilization with the dragon as its totem. I suspect they are referring to China!”

……

The phrase "China, the land of flowers" is like water poured into a frying pan, drawing everyone's attention and causing them to stare with mixed feelings as they await what will happen next.

"Go on!" Pete checked the data signal, his eyes flashing slightly. It's China again. Do aliens even know about China?

"So, should we reply or not? If we reply, what should we reply with? Although we cannot pinpoint the other party's coordinates, the wavelengths they transmit can be refracted back, and we can use this property to carry our reply."

They had never even considered such technology, so the other civilization must be far more advanced than Earth's current technology. Replying would reveal Earth's coordinates, but whether that would be good or bad was still unclear...
