What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

And then... and then...

"Ron!!"

An Yan suddenly sat up in bed.

He suddenly remembered that Ron, who hadn't transformed yet, was sucked into the vortex. To save Ron, he followed Ron into the vortex, and then he knew nothing more.

So… how is Ron doing now?!

Wait, where am I?

Upon waking, An Yan looked around. Before he could figure out where he was, a voice beside him made him freeze instantly:

"Xiao Yan! You're awake? Are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"

A familiar hand landed on his shoulder. An Yan turned his head and met the worried face of a woman.

The woman's face bore a resemblance to An Yan's, but her brows held a hint of meanness. At this moment, her brows were furrowed, and she looked at An Yan with concern while complaining:

“I told you you shouldn’t have gone to summer camp. You should have used the opportunity to review for next semester. Look… this is what happened! Luckily, the doctor said you just accidentally fell down the mountain and didn’t break any bones, otherwise your whole vacation would have been wasted…”

"mom……?"

An Yan's voice trembled as he called out to the person beside him.

The woman paused, her expression growing even more worried, and asked An Yan:

"Xiao Yan, are you alright? Did you...did you hurt your head? Wait here, I'll go get a doctor! Doctor...doctor!!"

Before An Yan could grab the woman, she had already run out of the ward, shouting and calling for the doctor.

Giving up on calling the woman back, An Yan turned to look around.

White walls, white ceiling, pristine white hospital beds, and the smell of disinfectant permeating the air.

This is a hospital, a hospital in the human world.

So... I've returned after completing my mission? Or... was everything I experienced before just a dream...?

As An Yan was thinking this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something red out of the corner of his eye.

The red thing was placed on his bedside table, along with his stationery.

That's... a mythical beast purifier!

Everything I experienced before was not a dream!!

"woke up?"

While An Yan was still in a daze, Chen Xiaolian's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

She had changed into a white mini-skirt and a pink T-shirt, and wearing sunglasses, she walked in with two bodyguards.

As soon as she came in, she raised her little head at An Yan, looking very proud, and said:

"You woke up too late, now we've been waiting for you!"

"Just...just waiting for me? What do you mean?"

"You think you're staying in a private room? Of course, it's all thanks to me. Not just you, everyone else is too. And now everyone else is awake, only you are left."

Chen Xiaolian said smugly.

Besides Ron, she was the first to wake up, having regained consciousness the previous night. She then asked her father to arrange private rooms for everyone.

Next to wake up was Mu Dongyin, then Jiang Chen who woke up in the morning, and An Yan who had just gotten up after morning, when the sun was already high in the sky.

"..."

To be honest, I didn't ask you why I was staying in a private room...

An Yan wanted to say that, but considering that he was able to stay here thanks to Chen Xiaolian, he didn't say it aloud. Instead, he asked:

Where is everyone now?

"They're having a team-building event in Ron's ward, you should come too."

Chen Xiaolian extended an invitation to An Yan.

An Yan was quite surprised to hear this: "Why are we having a team-building event in Ron's hospital room? Ron... what's wrong?"

It would have been better if An Yan hadn't asked. As soon as An Yan brought it up, Chen Xiaolian rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the top of her head.

Then Miss Chen complained:

“Ron... usually looks aloof and world-weary, but he turns out to be a gaming addict. He's been playing on the laptop I gave him since last night and hasn't even gotten out of bed yet. He's so childish.”

An Yan: "?"

Ron...is he addicted to the internet?

Uh-huh? ?

……

Fifteen years!!!

Fifteen years!

Do you know how I've spent the last fifteen years?! My biggest form of entertainment every day was playing in the mud with my older sister!!

And now… I've finally gained access to modern technology! Access to the internet!!!

Long live mobile phones! Long live computers! Long live the internet!

Having just returned from the game World of Warcraft and borrowed a game laptop from Chen Xiaolian, Ron's first thought was this.

Fortunately, he has strong self-control, otherwise he would have jumped up the moment he got his hands on the computer!

Thinking of this, Ron picked up the Coke next to him and took a sip.

Yes, long live iced cola!!!

"Ah...that feels so good..."

Ron put down his iced cola, his smug expression lasting for a moment before he turned serious and looked at the computer in front of him.

Actually, apart from playing games on the computer for a while at the very beginning, Ron spent the rest of his time collecting information about this world.

Although the simulation system's words suggest that this is probably just a world from some anime series, Ron's search results show that this world is no different from a real world.

It is even extremely close to the world before Ron's time travel.

Both ancient and modern histories are consistent; both countries experienced World War II, and An Yan's country also went through that painful period.

In modern times, whether it's culture, technology, or entertainment, things are actually not much different from what they were like before Ron traveled through time.

If Ron hadn't failed to find any trace of his existence online, he would have truly believed that this world was the one he lived in before he transmigrated.

But unfortunately it isn't.

The current time in the world is July 2025, which is when most students begin their summer vacation.

Ron was reincarnated into another world at the end of 2026.

However, since he knew that this world was not the world he had traveled to before, but only a parallel world that seemed similar, Ron didn't need to think too much about it.

Anyway... it's all just background setting.

"...What a pity."

After searching for some information online and watching some entertainment videos, Ron finally let out a soft sigh.

Although he was also an orphan in his previous life, the fact that this world was not his hometown still left Ron with some regrets.

"Ron... Ron, don't you want to take a break? You've been watching for two hours straight."

Seeing that Ron's eyes were still glued to the computer, Jiang Chen, who was reading a book next to him, couldn't help but come over and persuade him.

He was worried that if Ron continued like this, he would become completely addicted to the internet and unable to extricate himself.

However, his worries were unnecessary.

Ron has now satisfied his internet addiction after 15 years, albeit temporarily, but at least he doesn't have to worry about his eyes being glued to the computer anymore.

"Yes, I know, I was just about to turn off the computer."

Ron said to Jiang Chen while closing the laptop.

Games are certainly fascinating, but in this world, Ron doesn't have a game account at all and can only play some small games for the time being.

Moreover, Ron actually cares more about other things than these games.

Ron's world is a fantasy world, and a medieval fantasy world at that. In that world, although many things can be accomplished with magic, and in some ways magic is even more convenient than technology, there are many other things that the fantasy world lacks.

For example, methods for making certain convenient consumer goods, or methods for making some simple technologies.

Another example is something that most protagonists in farming-themed stories will start building after transmigrating... a steam engine.

This relevant knowledge was the most important thing to Ron.

He might not need it in the fantasy world, but he can't live without it, so... if the story of "Fantasy Beast Warriors" isn't over yet, he might be able to learn a few more things to take back with him during this time.

"Unfortunately, besides the Beast Purifier, I can't bring anything back. Even the purifier itself is probably not a physical object... Otherwise, I could have gotten a phone, downloaded some data, and brought it back with me..."

Even though Ron practiced meditation and improved his mental strength, he still couldn't achieve the level of photographic memory.

Currently, there is no magic that can help him record learning materials that could be as high as tens of terabytes, or even hundreds of terabytes.
