A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

The screen was flooded with comments.

[Host, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for days!]

Go check it out! See if anyone is spending money in the rural areas.

[Coming at this time, are they trying to finish off the enemy?]

Chen Hang smiled slightly, pushed open the car door, got out of the car with his live-streaming phone, and walked inside.

Then he stopped.

He stood at the intersection and glanced inside.

The comments section was still flooded with messages.

Have we arrived yet?

Hurry up, streamer!

[Capture the deserted scene! Quick, take a picture!]

Chen Hang did not speak.

He raised the camera and pointed it forward.

The scene in the camera did not match any of the scenarios he had imagined.

From inside the gate to the street, it was packed with people, a dense mass of heads.

Students in school uniforms sat in rows inside the shop playing video games.

Outside the gate, a long line stretched out, filled with elderly men and women setting up stalls.

Chen Hang's handheld gimbal trembled slightly.

The comments section started to change:

【? ? ? 】

Wait, what's this...?

Holy crap, are there really this many people?

"...I'll go buy a cup first, no, just a regular Mixue. Why are there so many people here?"

After walking through the long queue, Chen Hang arrived at the main entrance.

It turns out they were all giving away gifts and having a lucky draw when you came in.

Tsk tsk tsk, this attitude really makes them think they're some kind of freeloader.

"Everyone, let's analyze this rationally. What's the point of this kind of zero-dollar purchase marketing, besides attracting a bunch of bargain-hunting old folks? Let's look at how much it costs to give away these gifts?"

A cup of milk tea costs only a few yuan; how can this poverty alleviation pioneer even recoup their costs? Once this campaign is over, who will still be drinking milk tea in the countryside?

Chen Hang pointed his camera at the elderly people who were holding eggs and plastic buckets and smiling.

Chen Hang had a sneer on his lips. He lined up, ordered a glass of lemonade, and didn't ask for any complimentary gifts.

He took a sip and then said nothing.

The chat waited a few seconds:

【? 】

[Anchor? 】

Why aren't you saying anything?

Chen Hang took the cup away from his lips and looked at it.

He took another sip.

The comments section started to get anxious:

[Hey host, say something!]

What's going on?!

I sensed something was off about his expression.

Chen Hang slowly began to speak.

"...Family members."

"I don't know how to explain this to you."

What's going on?!

"Holy crap! This tastes amazing!"

Chen Hang held up the cup, facing the camera.

"It tastes so good."

"It tastes even better than those real fruit teas that cost ten or twenty yuan a cup."

"I don't understand why, it's just a regular Mixue lemonade. But... holy crap! How can it taste so good?"

【？？？？？】

[Are you kidding me, host?]

[Topped up! Topped up!]

Aren't all Mixue drinks the same across the country?

Water purified by otherworldly magic has a distinctly unique taste.

The first wave of arrivals consisted mainly of elderly people and children.

As Chen Hang's live stream was recommended to local people, young people in the town and even the county who hadn't gone out to work after the Spring Festival saw the stream.

The little red dot indicates 99 new messages.

Is there any navigation? I want to go there.

[Where are the coordinates? Where is the location?]

With the increasing number of young people, everyone is making short videos and posting them on social media.

More and more people.

……

After last night's date, Lin Yan was particularly reluctant to get out of bed today. After waking up in the morning, he spent the whole day in bed playing on his phone. With Xier serving him food, he took another nap. Finally, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yan got up and stretched comfortably.

Today was indeed quiet; it seems that, just as he predicted, no one came on the first day of business.

"Honey, you're awake."

Syl maintained a serious expression.

"Let's go to the shop and enjoy some quiet time without being disturbed, and have a cup of milk tea while we're at it."

Lin Yan smiled and ruffled her hair.

Lin Yan took Xier's hand and walked out of the courtyard, heading towards the national highway along the path.

However, when they turned that familiar street corner...

Lin Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Before me stretched a vast, dark sea of ​​people.

The open space in front of the building, along the national highway, and even outside the wall of the school across the street were all packed with people.

Hundreds of motorcycles and cars were parked haphazardly.

The older women, each holding a red bucket, were sweating profusely as they jostled for eggs and entered the lucky draw.

They formed a long line that stretched for tens of meters.

Inside the shop, Lin Jiaqing and several employees were already shaking the milk tea, their shadows blurring as they did so.

Lin Jiayao and Lin Yecheng, on the other hand, looked proud of having fulfilled their mission.

"This... Ah!"

Lin Yan stood there, mouth agape, stunned, on the outermost edge of the crowd.

Just then, a young man holding up his phone and taking pictures randomly squeezed next to them.

The young man's camera was originally filming the crowd in line, but when he glanced at Sylphy out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly gasped.

Even though Syl used magic to hide the elf's pointed ears, her delicate features and fair, translucent skin were still striking.

Holy crap!!

The young man, as if he'd been injected with adrenaline, held up his camera and shoved it at us.

"Beautiful lady! Are you mixed race? Or are you a famous internet celebrity here to check in?"

As he spoke, he even recklessly tried to bring the phone closer to Syer's face.

"What are you doing? Put your phone away."

Lin Yan's face darkened, and he pulled Xier behind him, completely blocking the camera.

The young man felt uneasy under Lin Yan's gaze, muttered a few words, and slipped back into the crowd.

"Fine, then don't take the photos..."

Hiding behind Lin Yan, Sil watched her husband's back as the magical light from her fingers faded, and her cheeks began to flush uncontrollably again.

At this moment, Lin Yan chased away the flies, looked at the noisy and bustling street in front of him, and covered his face in anguish.

What was his original intention? It was to retire after his adventures as a hero and his life as a lord.

Although they had to develop their territory due to magical limitations, for these two long-lived beings, it was merely a diversion from their lives.

Back then, after finishing their busy years in the other world, they also stayed in a rural village for a few years, living a slow life of reading, fishing, and going on outings every day. How pleasant it was! The only pity was that there were no modern entertainment facilities.

However, they can spend a whole year observing a plant sprout and shed its leaves.

Time is the least oppressive thing.

Interpersonal relationships are the least important thing.

After traveling back in time, I initially just casually arranged jobs for my relatives.

In Lin Yan's original plan, the development of Blue Star's territory should also follow this pace.

We can set a few small goals, build some structures, support local industries, and provide a few jobs for our relatives.

Then, over ten, twenty, or even half a century, they slowly changed the village.

The two of them gradually built some modern amusement and food facilities, while also reading, studying, and researching magic together.

Ultimately, it will be transformed into a peaceful and comfortable retirement garden, where people can spend their time together in these modern entertainment facilities, creating genuine romantic memories. For an elderly person who has spent their life fighting in another world, this is how their concept of time should be.

This is the kind of simulation dating game I envisioned.

But unexpectedly, on the very first day of opening, it was sped up eight times.

Why would anyone drink milk tea if this is the case?

The store was so busy that he couldn't even cut in line.
