My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

Gu Xixi searched every corner of Xinshan Mountain and eventually returned to the front of the farmhouse. Gu Tingchen happened to be back, so the two went inside together.

Shen Qingyan walked out, followed by Chu Feng and Chen's parents. The two elders beamed with joy as soon as they saw them.

"You're back just in time. The meal we ordered has just been prepared and is still hot. Come on, let's go have lunch. Are you free? If not, we'll keep it warm for you and you can eat it when you're free."

"That's right, that's right, you young people should focus on important matters."

"I still have time for a meal." Gu Xixi originally wanted to refuse, as she should go back to the city in the afternoon and usually couldn't accept invitations to meals. However, she saw the look Shen Qingyan gave her and immediately agreed.

The two elders were even happier, and they led the way to the private room in the backyard.

Chu Feng walked to her side and whispered, "It's been confirmed. They are indeed the families of martyrs, and their son is Chen Kai, a former member of our time-traveling team. He was arrested when he went home for the last time... Their daughter is..."

It was Chen Kai... Gu Xixi still remembered that teammate; he was always taciturn, but he was meticulous in his work, giving it his all and taking it very seriously...

Unexpectedly, she ran into his parents here... Gu Xixi still has psychological trauma from the huge loss before, and her heart still aches when she thinks about it now.

No wonder Shen Qingyan gave her a wink. If she had known they were Chen Kai's parents, she definitely would have chosen to eat at this meal too.

Upon entering the private room, the two elders made no mention of what had happened on the mountain, but instead kept serving food to the group. Gu Xixi paused, raised her teacup, and said, "Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, let's toast you with tea instead of wine!"

Their children are heroes, and so are they!

The two elders looked at the group, not quite understanding Gu Xixi's sudden respect. The previous protection was because they were the families of martyrs, but now it seemed to be something else entirely.

But Gu Xixi and the others didn't say anything, so the two elders didn't ask anything either and accepted the cup of tea.

The food at the farmhouse was fresh and delicious, carrying the power of nature. After finishing her meal and learning about their background and future plans, Gu Xixi felt relieved and went back to her room.

"Xixi, we've checked all the nearby mountains and arranged for our people to stay at farmhouses and go camping and fishing on other mountains... We've been keeping an eye on the chemical plant and hospital in the city, but haven't taken any action yet. However, according to the information we've received, the operation should take place at 11 PM tonight..."

Chu Feng entered the room and reported, then remembered another matter.

"There was a bit of an unexpected situation at the hospital. When I went there today, I found Dr. Zhao Liang there. He was there to attend a TCM exchange event organized by the hospital. Given his obsessive learning nature, I figured he would stay tonight as well, but I had already hinted to him to go home early."

"There's also the matter of choosing a world to travel to next time. The higher-ups suggest that it's better to seek new opportunities, so why not choose the Elf World?"

“Okay, I understand. Just in case, Dr. Zhao needs to confirm his safety…” Before Gu Xixi could finish speaking, Shen Qingyan interrupted, “I’ll go to the hospital to find him.”

Chu Feng immediately blocked his way, "If you leave, will Xixi's safety be guaranteed?"

"Her system security protection mechanism doesn't care where my virtual body exists; it will always be there unless the system unbinds from her." Shen Qingyan nodded slightly to Chu Feng and then disappeared.

Chu Feng felt relieved.

Gu Xixi could still communicate with Shen Qingyan in her mind: "Brother Tongzi, for the next mission world where I can travel with a supermarket, I'll choose the Elf World. Make a reservation for me, and choose again near the end of the third day."

This way, they can wait three more days before the time travel mission, giving them more time in the modern world in case something else needs them.

【it is good. 】

Gu Xixi entered the system training room, while Chu Feng returned to the city. Night fell, and a crisis was quietly brewing, but it was averted by the swift intervention of a group of people.

At midnight, when Gu Xixi came out of the system's learning space, she saw several huge news articles.

The first day of the visit and exchange between the two countries in Zhongyuan City concluded successfully. Friendly talks were held, and both sides expressed their goodwill and anticipation for further exchanges and cooperation.

Gu Xixi understood; this meant the talks had broken down, which was expected.

[The largest chemical plant in Zhongyuan City nearly exploded tonight at 8 PM due to a worker's mistake that caused a toxic gas leak...]

A private hospital in Zhongyuan City suddenly discovered a patient with unusual symptoms. This patient was carrying the nnml146 virus, which had recently broken out overseas. It is reported that this virus has a mortality rate as high as 98%... The hospital has been locked down, and all personnel entering the hospital have been quarantined pending examination.

That's what security is all about; the lockdown is just for show... Gu Xixi randomly clicked on a news article, and within ten minutes there were already tens of thousands of comments.

[They've come all this way, yet they haven't managed to take any gifts with them. Could they really have come here sincerely to exchange ideas? I just don't believe it.]

[It was clearly not intentional. The moment they showed up, a chemical plant that hadn't had an accident in decades almost set our city on fire, and the hospital... well, you know what I mean.]

These events, taken together, are truly chilling. I really don't know how much effort my mother put in behind the scenes to make such a dangerous topic seem so trivial. If something happened anywhere, the death toll could fill a book.

[Thanks to Mom, thanks to the heroes behind the scenes. So what's the point of the factory? If something really happened, the boss would probably be beaten to death.]

The space elevator is right here in our Zhongyuan City. A bunch of scoundrels, what's the point of talking? If you ask me, we're not giving it to them. What are they going to do, forcibly take it from us?

……

After Gu Xixi finished reading, she turned off her phone and lay down on the bed. Just then, the virtual avatar of Tongzi appeared beside her bed; it was Shen Qingyan in ancient costume.

"How is Doctor Zhao?" Gu Xixi turned over and lay on her side.

“Of course it’s good. Zhao Liangyi was interested in studying the virus, so he left with them. But don’t worry, he’ll be fine.” As Shen Qingyan finished speaking, his figure was about to disappear when Gu Xixi reached out and grabbed his wrist.

Shen Qingyan turned around and asked, "Hmm?"

Gu Xixi's smile gradually froze. She shifted the hand that was holding his wrist, then carefully checked it. She sat up abruptly and put her other hand on Shen Qingyan's other wrist.

After a long while, Gu Xixi looked up and asked, "You... you have a pulse? You didn't have one before. Is this because you're turning into a human, or has your intelligence evolved?"

“The intelligent parameters have been adjusted. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too frightening for a person without temperature and pulse to walk among people?” Shen Qingyan spread out his palm. “Feel my palm and see if it’s a little warmer than before.”
