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

An hour later, the official US space agency released a statement: "According to the latest detection information from my country's space agency and OSA, a signal in a frequency band identifiable by human technology was received from outer space yesterday. The signal, translated, reads: 'Hello, Earth.' It is suspected that extraterrestrials have acquired and are spying on Earth..."

Based on the current level of technological development of all countries on Earth, if an alien civilization were to invade Earth, we would have no ability to retaliate. This might be the most critical moment in human history. Members of the OSA suggest that China, possessing the world's most advanced science and technology, could make outstanding contributions in this human crisis and perhaps even study human civilization.

The news, especially since it was an official announcement, shocked the world.

[What?! I knew this day would come, the day they'd announce the existence of aliens! How did the US know so much? Could they be the ones beating up aliens on the moon?!]

[Hello Earth? Which alien is so crazy? I feel like it's something the U.S. made up themselves. Hello U.S., hahaha! How would aliens know we call Earth Earth? I know, the U.S. people are the aliens!]

[I initially believed it, until I saw the last sentence. No matter how much buildup there was before, once that last sentence appears, it's fake news, just a ploy to morally blackmail us internationally!]

【Me too, I watched it all carefully, damn it.】

China loves peace and has consistently contributed to peace efforts. If this is true, I want to go to China; it's the only place where I feel safe!

……

Less than two hours later, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China responded: "Thank you for acknowledging our technological capabilities, but in reality, we have not received any signals from extraterrestrial civilizations. The veracity of this claim remains to be verified. We will not consider or address any events that have not yet occurred. We prefer to focus on the current international situation… and on whether peace can be maintained at present."

[Well said, that's hilarious! We have the best technology in the world, yet we haven't discovered extraterrestrial civilizations or received any signals. You think you've received them? Who would believe that? What makes you think you have that?]

【Hey, let's not fall for that, hahaha!】

[The current peace... Our mother is a master of yin and yang; it's those troublemakers stirring things up everywhere. There's no peace on Earth, yet they want peace with aliens? How can they even bring themselves to say that?]

[If that day ever comes, honestly, everyone type 1 to indicate an accelerated extraterrestrial invasion of Earth and let's all perish together. It's like nobody wants to live.]

【111111111! 】

We want peace, not just empty talk about it. Please, Ugly Country…

……

Everyone was talking about it, mocking and subtly criticizing it; the internet, both online and offline, was buzzing with excitement.

Meanwhile, in the world of elves.

Most of the goods in Fa Da Cai Supermarket were replaced, and Gu Xixi also rearranged the supermarket's hardware facilities and decorations, giving the entire Fa Da Cai Supermarket a brand new look.

It only took two days to finish everything, and we have one day to rest before reopening the day after tomorrow.

After dinner, Gu Xixi convened another small meeting with Elder Yang, Chen Yu, Chu Feng, and others.

Chen Yu's leg was almost fully recovered. He ran ahead and was the first to sit down in front of Gu Xixi. "These past few days, I've infiltrated the Elf race by posing as a disabled person. Guess what I found out?"

Gu Xixi tilted her head, revealing three black question marks resembling those of an emperor next to her head! Chu Feng and the others also sat down, looking at him and waiting for him to speak.

"The elves are very, very, very, very simple-minded, to the point of being a little foolish! I told them I broke my leg while saving my sister who had fallen from a tree, and they believed me without even looking at my leg."

“There were even several elves who carried me around every day and gave me delicious food. I just wanted to tease them, but they took it so seriously that my conscience started to bother me and I even felt a little pain.”

From now on, he can only try to make up for the deception he committed over the past two days by doing more chores for them.

"Have some decency." Gu Xixi sighed, no wonder she had seen Chen Yu being carried around so much these past few days, she really thought he had developed a deep friendship with the elves. "Chu Feng, what about you?"

"My investigation confirms this conclusion. Furthermore, elves almost never lie, and they excel at conquering their own familiar territory. They don't interfere in the territories of other elves, nor do they ask many questions. They are also very hardworking and energetic."

Chu Feng began his report, and he looked much more serious.

“Currently, there are five princesses in the Elf race, but Princess Zhuzhu has the highest national recognition and popularity... White Elves are the most intelligent and wise elves in the Elf race, but their numbers are extremely small, and without exception, all White Elves are at the management level in the Elf race. In addition, based on the focus you mentioned, Xixi, Zhao Jing and I have investigated and found that no one in the entire Elf race has ever seen an elf from Zilang Kingdom.”

"However, the hostility of Zilang Kingdom and the reasons for the war all came from the Queen's statement, and no one had any doubts."

Gu Xixi wrote down the points of doubt, then her gaze fell on the others.

"I've also heard that the elves have a magical forest called the Spirit Spring Tree. They say the Spirit Spring can heal all things, and those who drink from it will live long and be healthy."

"The valley where the elves conceived their little elves is the entrance to the Spirit Spring Forest, but only Princess Zhuzhu and the other royal princesses, and the Queen, know exactly how to get in."

"Also, the Elven wars haven't been ongoing all the time; they've just been more frequent recently. There was a very long period of respite during the centuries-long wars before, which, according to my inquiries, should have been about five years. Those five years were also when the Spirit Spring Tree was at its most depleted."

……

All the clues gradually wove into a regular network in Gu Xixi's mind. Just a little bit more and something was about to emerge in her mind.

She felt that the seemingly dreamlike and beautiful fairy kingdom was shrouded and imprisoned by an invisible net, and that the lush green sky seemed to be just a cover concealing the truth.

After hearing the clues, Gu Xixi, Old Yang, Chen Yu, and Chu Feng were the first to react. They exchanged glances and understood each other's thoughts.

"As long as it doesn't interfere with our business, we'll pretend we don't know anything else," Gu Xixi concluded, and the others immediately nodded in agreement.

Gu Xixi waved her hand, the small meeting ended, and everyone went about their business. Old Yang remained seated, saying, "Xixi, you've also realized that this Elf Kingdom may have long been a puppet state controlled by the Zilang Kingdom."

Only in this way can we explain why a powerful enemy always teases us but never kills us.

Their campaigns were less of an invasion and more of a training exercise, or rather, a coordinated effort—training an heir and working with the local royal family to choose their desired successor…
