Chapter 133: Building a Beautiful, Peaceful Village Life

"Yesterday was truly exhausting, fighting non-stop until my mind went numb."

"Thinking about it now, he still loves me very much."

Now in clean clothes, Yu Xing sat in the mech's cockpit, eating lunch, shaking her leg, and livestreaming with her forum buddies.

"What? He hates me?" Yu Xing saw a comment and immediately straightened up, swallowing the dessert in her mouth. "Of course he hates me. I took over his sister's body—how could he not hate me?"

Seeing her admit it so frankly left the chat speechless.

[You just said he loves you.]

[Your logic is surprisingly coherent.]

[He literally led a group to beat you up yesterday—isn’t that hate?]

[Fan-Favorite, take some elixirs to fix your brain...]

Reading the comments one by one, Yu Xing wore an expression that said, "You just don’t understand." She shook her head. "No, no, no, you don’t get it. Without love, where does hate come from? Besides, he didn’t actually try to hurt me. He even arranged a fake identity for me to return inside the Wall. I think his feelings for me are... complicated. A love-hate so intense it burns, sometimes love, sometimes hate—deeply passionate yet bitterly resentful. You know, like those over-the-top xianxia romance novels..."

[Got it. Fan-Favorite, don’t just eat cake—take some elixirs too.]

[Don’t forget where Fan-Favorite lived back on Earth.]

[Girl needs therapy...]

[Gotta admit, her logic makes twisted sense.]

[Hope you don’t hold back next time you see your brother. If you don’t run him through, how can you call it ‘deeply passionate yet bitterly resentful’?]

[It’s so weird. My elixirs can revive the dead and regrow bones, but they can’t cure mental illness...]

Yu Xing felt her forum friends were all career-minded and didn’t understand love. Of course, she didn’t have time to explain what love was either. She straightened up and said seriously, "Let’s talk shop. This time, I got wrecked. My Celestial Serpent Feathered Robe is ruined, my broomstick is broken, and I need to buy another Celestial Serpent Feathered Robe."

At this, Zhang Wei in the Primordial World had something to say.

[You think the Celestial Serpent Feathered Robe is some cheap street vendor item? That you can just get whenever you want? I only had that one piece.]

Yu Xing’s face scrunched up. "Then what should I do? I can’t go without a Celestial Serpent Feathered Robe. Everyone, please help me find something similar. I’ll make it worth your time."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a green... thing appeared in her palm.

"Waaah! Waaah!" A loud infant’s cry echoed through the cockpit. Yu Xing held up the green baby to the camera. "Look! A veggie-baby!"

This was the fruit she had stored in her storage ring back in the Twenty-Five Cities. Left unattended for so long, the fruit had split open, revealing a green infant inside.

"This thing can survive inside a storage ring. It’s not an animal or a monster, so it can be traded." Yu Xing put on a shady dealer grin. "Well? Never seen anything like this, right? All I want is something similar to the Celestial Serpent Feathered Robe."

For a moment, the comments fell silent as everyone scrutinized the green baby. It looked freaky—what use could it possibly have?

Finally, Zhang Wei in the Primordial World responded.

[I don’t have what you need right now, but give me some time. I’ll find something for you. Keep that plant baby for me.]

This thing didn’t even have a pollution source—Yu Xing had originally kept it as a throw-in. Who knew a throw-in could be traded for something valuable? What a happy accident.

"Done and done!" Yu Xing eagerly agreed, then turned to the comments. "Xiao Li, the broomstick you gave me broke. Can you send me a few more this time?"

In the magical world, broomsticks were common transportation tools, equivalent to cars in Yu Xing’s world.

The broomstick Xiao Li had given Yu Xing was the cheapest, most basic magical broomstick—basically the equivalent of a bicycle on Earth.

After so many collaborations, Xiao Li already saw Yu Xing as a trusted long-term partner. Without hesitation, she sent Yu Xing a whole pack of brooms.

Yu Xing counted them—twelve in total.

Xiao Li was really... Yu Xing was legit tearing up...

Since she didn’t have anything like the Celestial Serpent Feathered Robe for now, Yu Xing had no choice but to pick up the ragged scraps of her old one and make it work.

The robe was in such bad shape that only a small part was still usable. Yu Xing transformed that part into a pair of glasses and gloves—at least now she could pass for normal.

After that, she steered the mech toward Tomorrow Village.

Tomorrow Village was tucked away in the mountains, surrounded by swamps, which were in turn encircled by toxin-riddled peaks. It was an extremely secluded backwater spot. If not for accidentally wandering into the bog while searching for someone last time, Yu Xing would never have known such a place existed.

After so long, when the Ninja mech slowly descended in the center of Tomorrow Village, the villagers all hid in the shadows, staring fearfully at the hulking machine falling from the sky.

The cabin door hissed open, and Yu Xing stepped out.

Standing outside the gates of Tomorrow Elementary, she scanned the area. After so many days, the village hadn’t changed much—it was still the same as before. Low earthen houses, roofs covered with turf, and the barely-hanging wooden door of Tomorrow Elementary.

Before Yu Xing could even get nostalgic, she quickly noticed something different about the village.

A man dressed in rough-spun weed garments emerged from behind a door. He wasn’t tall—only about five-foot-seven—but his posture was upright, with long limbs. He wasn't much to look at, but his features were regular, and though his skin was slightly dark, it was plainly human.

Step by step, the man approached Yu Xing. When he got close enough to confirm it was really her, he lit up. "You’ve returned!"

Yu Xing frowned. His voice sounded familiar.

"You are..." She hesitated. "Yu?"

"It’s me!" Yu (the villager) was both excited and reverent, shifting from foot to foot.

Suddenly remembering something, he turned and shouted to the others, "Everyone, come out! The holy messenger who saved our village has returned! The great God of Misfortune’s envoy is back!"

At his call, more and more villagers emerged from every corner of the village.

They gathered before Yu Xing. She should have recognized them, but now she couldn’t. None of them looked like their old twisted selves. Though still dressed in simple, crude clothing, and though none were particularly tall or strong, every one of them now looked like a normal human.

They gazed at Yu Xing with starstruck awe, their eyes no longer empty or crazed.

Seeing their transformation warmed Yu Xing's heart. Before she could think of what to say, Yu (the villager) and the rest of Tomorrow Village’s residents suddenly dropped to their knees as one.

A wave of villagers dropped to their knees before her, startling Yu Xing.

"Thank you," Yu (the villager) said, pressing his forehead to the dirt at her feet. "Thank you for the blessing you gave us. You saved everyone in Tomorrow Village."

"Hey, don’t do this..." Yu Xing tried to get them to stand, but they were stubborn. No one would rise until Yu (the villager) finished expressing their gratitude.

At a loss, Yu Xing could only wait for him to finish.

When he finally finished, the villagers finally stood. Yu (the villager) motioned behind him, and soon two children approached bearing a tray.

Yu Xing looked closely—it held three glowing crimson fruits.

"Divine Envoy," Yu said reverently, presenting the gifts. "Thank you for the treasures you bestowed upon us. Not only have they restored our normal appearances and freed us from pollution's effects, but we can now even eat foods we once dared not touch."

"These are fruits we found in the mountains—really tasty," Yu said, somewhat nervously holding out the fruits with both hands.

Yu Xing could see immediately that these fruits were contaminated. However, since the villagers now possessed the Spirit-Nourishing Warm Jade to counteract pollution, consuming them wasn't a big problem.

She thought. She would have to stay in Tomorrow Village for a while, and eating these every day wasn’t feasible. Moreover, glancing around, the houses were small and crude, with living conditions pretty bad. She couldn’t possibly live here.

With this in mind, Yu Xing turned to Yu. "Come here for a second. I have something to discuss privately."

Yu complied without hesitation, bowing respectfully as he followed her aside.

Once they stood behind the mech, Yu Xing spoke. "Actually, I came here this time to ask for your help."

Yu immediately responded, "Please, don’t say it like that."

"I..." Yu Xing hesitated briefly. "There’s someone very important to me who’s currently unconscious. I need to settle her in the village and hope you can care for her... protect her."

Without a second thought, Yu agreed to her request.

Though Yu promised earnestly to protect the person entrusted to the village with his life, Yu Xing remained uneasy. The villagers had no fighting ability at all. If Yu He’s organization ever found them, their efforts would be futile.

That night, Yu Xing stayed in Tomorrow Elementary School, the most spacious building in the village. The villagers cherished it deeply, and only Yu Xing was deemed worthy of staying there.

She laid out a makeshift bed on the floor, declining the fruits Yu brought. Instead, she took out all the sweets from her storage ring.

She had originally bought these sweets to share with friends. Now, sharing them with the villagers did what they were meant for.

"These are called desserts," Yu Xing said, stuffing them into Yu’s arms. "Distribute them among the villagers."

Yu clutched the nicely wrapped desserts, their amazing sweet smell seeping through the wrappers.

Suddenly, he understood why the Divine Envoy refused the fruits. Compared to these fragrant delicacies, the fruits were way too sour.

After seeing Yu off, Yu Xing closed the door and immediately logged into the Transmigrator Exchange Forum, contacting her only senior sister.

"Wasteland World’s Belle requests a private chat."

"Wasteland World’s Belle: Sis! My only senior sister! I need your help!"

Three minutes passed before a reply came.

"ABO Only Senior Sister: What is it? Do you have any idea what I was just doing? Do you know how hard it was for me to get away? I’m pantsless here!"

Yu Xing felt a pang of guilt. Her sister’s life was truly wild.

"Wasteland World’s Belle: Here’s the thing. I’m in a village now, and the situation is... I hate seeing the villagers suffer like this. I was wondering if I could buy some robots from you to help develop Tomorrow Village and ensure its safety. Also, do you have educational materials in your world? I want to help the villagers learn to read and learn basic science..."

After reading Yu Xing’s lengthy message, the only senior sister silently pulled on her pants and replied thoughtfully.

"ABO Only Senior Sister: I sincerely admire your great plan of building a beautiful rural community. But you must understand, I’m just an ordinary worker. The robots, educational materials, power generators, and other supplies you want aren’t cheap. While I can gift you a mech, I can’t hand everything over for free—even if you’re so damn hot."

Yu Xing had anticipated this.

"Wasteland World’s Belle: I know you don’t need pollution sources, but what about pills? The kind that can revive the dead, regenerate flesh, and prolong life? I can trade them with you. After taking these, your omega lovers won’t be able to resist you."

"ABO Only Senior Sister: You really know how to push my buttons, don’t you? Fine, deal. As for the educational materials, I don’t just have textbooks—I also have implantable chips. Once inserted, the brain automatically absorbs our world’s foundational knowledge. No need for traditional teaching."

Holy shit, this existed?!

Yu Xing was stunned. If Earth had something like this, would children still need to endure years of cram schools?

"Wasteland World’s Belle: I need this so badly! If possible, I’d like the chips to include not just basics but also university-level knowledge—doctorate-level would be even better!"

"ABO Only Senior Sister: Oh, you greedy bastard. But I must warn you, the human brain has limits. Overloading it with too much knowledge at once can cause a mental breakdown. Even in our world, children only receive foundational chips. Higher education still requires actual schooling."

Fair enough... Yu Xing was slightly disappointed, but then she reconsidered. For villagers who could barely speak coherently to suddenly become literate and knowledgeable was already a huge improvement.

In fact, she suspected that some defective people living in Wall District D might not even grasp basic knowledge.

After working things out, the only senior sister said she needed time to get the stuff. Not one to idle, Yu Xing then contacted A Yuan.

"Wasteland World’s Belle requests a private chat."

"Cultivator A-Yuan in the Immortal Realm: Yeah?"

"Wasteland World’s Belle: Do you have any high-yield, pollution-resistant crops in your world? I’m planning to build a beautiful rural community..."

Upon reading Yu Xing’s request, A Yuan didn’t even mention prices. At her current level, what Yu Xing wanted was trivial.

"Cultivator A-Yuan in the Immortal Realm: Crops? You mean spirit plants. If you just need high yield and pollution resistance without special effects, ordinary spirit rice, spirit mushrooms, and spirit fruits will do. These things are dirt cheap—only low-level cultivators in our sect use them. I can get you as much as you want. Just crops? No livestock? You’ll need meat, right?"

Tears welled up in Yu Xing’s eyes. Wah... our Earth compatriots are the best.

With such overwhelming support, Yu Xing realized Tomorrow Village could become a proper base. Instead of worrying about integrating into the Wall, the village could develop into a match for the Federation.

The only question was whether Divine Chosen would emerge once the village flourished.

Since the robots required bulk ordering, the only senior sister needed time to arrange production. However, the foundational knowledge chips were readily available and delivered soon after.

"ABO Only Senior Sister: Here are the chips. But I have a question—our worlds are different, and so are our cultures and knowledge. Are you sure about implanting these directly into the villagers?"

Yu Xing thought it was perfect. With a flood of robots and machinery from the only senior sister’s world arriving soon, how could the villagers operate them without understanding the underlying principles? How else could they build their beautiful rural community?

Too excited to sleep, Yu Xing stayed up all night. At dawn, she gathered all the villagers.

She didn’t bother explaining much. The villagers were still in a simple state—even if she described chips and science, they wouldn’t get it. It was better to implant the chips first. Once they absorbed the foundational knowledge, further explanations would come easier.

Under Yu’s direction, the villagers lined up one by one for the chip implantation.

The chips were inserted into the arm using a specialized device—it looked like a giant syringe-gun. The process was as painless as a tiny pinch, with no bleeding and barely visible marks.

Yet Yu Xing was wrong. After implantation, the villagers grew drowsy and retreated to their homes, sleeping for three straight days. Terrified they couldn’t withstand the flood of new knowledge, Yu Xing dissolved pills in water and fed them individually.

Fortunately, the only senior sister had mentioned that drowsiness or even short comas were normal post-implantation. As long as they received nutrients and didn’t starve, they’d be fine.

Once the false alarm passed, shipments from both the only senior sister and A Yuan arrived.

Yu Xing bought some pills on credit from A Yuan to pay the only senior sister, specifically requesting those with the Joyful Union Sect’s special qualities.

A Yuan provided three storage bags. One contained various spirit plant seeds along with a cultivation manual. Another was a spirit beast bag filled with eggs of low-level spirit livestock like chickens, ducks, and geese, requiring local incubation.

The last storage bag was stuffed with enough grain to feed Tomorrow Village for years.

Deeply grateful, Yu Xing promised to repay A Yuan with pollution sources soon.

She wasn’t just paying lip service. She genuinely planned to head out soon to hunt pollutants. Beyond the Wall, pollution sources were abundant. Moreover, her Broomstick Star Skill needed upgrading—from Level 3 to Level 4, which required consuming the hearts of ten beings of equal or higher tier.

So even for her own sake, Yu Xing had to go out and find tainted creatures.

She was also itching to level up. To find a way to save her grandmother, Yu Xing believed she needed to focus on the organization Yu He was part of. Since they were the ones behind the giant tree and its seeds, they must know something.

And then there was that arcane array—Yu Xing wanted to figure out what exactly it was.

To do all this, she had to return inside the walls. But she was a wanted criminal there, making every corner a danger. To avoid falling into such crises again and to stop relying on the Sword of the Lake with its nasty side effects whenever danger arose, Yu Xing had to level up as soon as possible.

Yet, looking at the level-up requirements, Yu Xing felt stuck. Eating the hearts of tainted creatures...

Just the thought made her nauseous.

If Level 3 to Level 4 already had such a messed-up requirement, she couldn’t even imagine what the later requirements would be.

As Yu Xing sat by the classroom door basking in the sun, a figure stumbled toward her from a distance. Upon closer look, who else could it be but Yu?

Yu wobbled over, and Yu Xing suspected it was because he hadn’t eaten for days after sleeping so long.

The moment he got close, Yu collapsed to his knees with a thud.

"!!!" Yu Xing was speechless. "Why are you kneeling again?! I told you not to kneel—get up!"

"No..." Yu weakly waved his hand. "Too weak from hunger to stand."

Yu Xing: "..."

The next second, Yu burst into tears. He sprawled in front of her, bawling so hard it turned into full-on sobbing.

Yu Xing was flabbergasted. Sure, a hot guy crying might be fun to watch, but Yu couldn’t be called handsome by any stretch—at best, he was sweet-natured.

"What are you crying about?" Yu Xing was at her wit’s end. "What’s there to cry over?"

"I... I..." Yu sobbed, face pressed to the ground. "I’m... so happy..."

Yu Xing: "...?"

"My brain." Yu patted his head, tears streaming. "So much knowledge... I’m so happy."

Yu Xing: "..."

She should totally show this to those lazy Earth kids who moan about homework!

"It’s fine." Yu Xing helped him up by the arm and pulled a banana from her storage bag for him. "This is just beginner stuff. Later, I’ve got university courses, postgraduate courses, and doctorate programs lined up—you’ll be happy for a long time."

Yu sniffled, took a bite of the banana, and cried again.

"Why are you crying now?!" Yu Xing was losing it.

"It’s so good..." Yu cried because it tasted so damn good, his teary eyes gazing at her. "You’re seriously the God of Misfortune’s envoy? Aren’t you the envoy of the God of Light, Wisdom, or Love?"

Yu Xing: "..."

Great, now he even knew about the God of Light and the God of Love. He’d never have managed those fancy words before.

Half annoyed, Yu Xing handed him a thick stack of manuals. Yu clutched them, staring blankly at her.

Yu Xing pointed ahead, where she had gathered all the robots and machinery. "Those are all blessings from the God of Misfortune. Go over the manuals ASAP, then start planning for Mingri Village. Tear down and rebuild the houses, and ditch the tainted crops in the fields—I’ve got good seeds here..."

The villagers who could read crowded around excitedly, studying the manuals and testing out the robots. Every now and then, someone would whoop in excitement.

Yu Xing sat on the doorstep, propping her chin on her hands, watching them quietly.

For the first time since she’d gotten stuck in this world, she felt truly at peace.

Who’d have thought she’d find peace in a place like Mingri Village.
