The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

"How many people are in your world?" the little witch asked casually, then continued to look warily at the tens of billions above Xue Lude's head, as if afraid that her hometown would become Xue Lude's KDA, adding another two hundred million to the number above his head.

"More than 80 billion, to be precise, 83 billion." Xue Dinglu searched for detailed data on his phone.

"Thud..." The watermelon in the girl's hand fell to the ground. At this moment, she was completely stunned when she heard the population number.

Just like the incredulous expression on the faces of small countries when they see 14 billion people and 9.6 million square kilometers, eight billion people is simply a fantasy to their world, which has been hovering around 100 million for years.

"How did you do that! Please tell me, please! I'll do anything..." The girl immediately came to Xue Luding's side, no longer afraid of the bright red 10 billion figure above Xue Luding's head, and asked very sincerely.

"That's why I said it before, our world can develop like this only because there are no evil spirits." Xue Daolu didn't understand why a witch like her cared so much about population and birth rate. After all, she shouldn't have anything to do with this. Caring about population should be the job of the world government.

"By the way, how old are you?" Xue asked tentatively.

The shrine maiden suddenly paused, realizing that she had just excitedly come within ten meters of Xue Lude, but it didn't seem to be a big problem, so she became bolder and replied, "17 years old..."

Don't you have children yet?

“I became a priestess when I was 6 years old! And...and...clergy cannot have children or fall in love with ordinary people..." Her voice suddenly grew softer and softer.

As for why clergy cannot have children or fall in love, Xue Dinglu didn't know. When asked, she wouldn't answer, only muttering something about how people from different worlds can't be together.

Finally, unable to get any more information out of him, Xue Daolu had no choice but to take out a mobile phone, open the classic anime series "Ultraman Tiga", and say, "Take a look, this is why our world has such a large population."

"Oh!"

The shrine maiden wiped her hands, which were covered in fruit, on her pure white shrine maiden robe. This made Xue Dinglu's lips twitch for a moment, but she didn't seem to care. After wiping her hands clean on the shrine maiden robe, she picked up her phone, fiddled with it for a while, and seemed to have learned how to use it.

Then, while eating melon with one hand, he watched with great interest how to cook Da Gu into soup with the other.

However, Xue frowned.

Because in his field of vision, the area where she had just wiped her hands on her shrine maiden outfit instantly became spotless again, as if she had never wiped her hands there at all.

Even Xue Lude glanced at the petals that were still slowly forming around the girl...

She picked up her phone and sat down at another table and chair that Xue had arranged. A large number of flower petals appeared where she had been sitting, and the petals piled up on the ground, reaching a thickness of more than one centimeter.

While the witch was completely focused on her phone, Xue collected the flower petals and then silently sensed their presence…

Sure enough, he discovered the coordinates of another world!

Why are flower petals constantly falling around her...?

But why are these petals actually physical objects?

This is what Xue's law can't understand the most. Even he can make clothes look brand new, but he can't do such a simple physical petal effect at all, unless he's crazy enough to collect millions of tons of petals and put them in his consciousness space, and then design a fixed program to make a few petals fall every few seconds or some other abstract operation.

But clearly, she wasn't like that; these petals seemed to be something she was born with.

If you can't figure something out, then don't think about it anymore. Xue feels that he is living a very clear-headed life now and doesn't dwell on too many problems. As for that world...

Although she still seemed wary of Xue's law, Xue had already found the coordinates of her hometown and was on his way to her doorstep.

Xue's Law thought so.

……

Meanwhile, the White Crow and the Siamese fought a three-day, three-night battle against the invasive species from Earth, wearing down even the concrete roads, and finally defeated these plants and animals from Earth.

That's how the world is; whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak.

It is obvious that even if these plants and animals on Earth are modified by Schrödinger's Law, they will remain the same.

They carried large and small bags, mounted their Tyrannosaurus Rex, and began their journey, finally returning to their camp.

"Boss, we're back after our training, meow!" Siam greeted the center of the camp first.

When the old Demon Emperor emerged, he was immediately bewildered to see the Tyrannosaurus Rex's back covered in plants and animals.

Weren't we supposed to send you to study history and politics so you could come back and take over your positions? What exactly are you studying?

After hearing that the two children were studying agronomy and animal husbandry, the old demon emperor hesitated to speak.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, only saying, "Then take good care of yourself and don't let Xue's wishes go to waste."

"Hi!" The two girls started carrying their bags and packages, preparing to leave.

"By the way, we can find an angel from another world to learn about food production and storage here," the old demon emperor said.

The two girls, carrying large and small bags, went to find the angel Lan Lin'er. Then, in an instant, Lan Lin'er suddenly froze, because after seeing the two little ones, a strange thing suddenly appeared in her mind.

Congratulations on obtaining the "Xue's Law Strategy System"...

Lan Lin'er: "?"

Suppressing her curiosity, she listened to the two children finish speaking, then asked, "Do you know anything about systems?"

The two little ones shook their heads.

After the two children finished with their own things, she immediately went to find Rachel, the angel who was working on the construction site...

Then, Rachel was also taken aback!

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the "Xue's Law Strategy System"...]

The two remained silent. Although they did not share information with each other, they understood each other's meaning simply by exchanging glances.

As the sun set, sparks of electricity erupted from the point where their eyes met—this wasn't a figure of speech, but a real spark.

Chapter 346 The Silly Shrine Maiden Who Occasionally Mutters Quiet Complaints in Ghost Stories

"Hurry up, Alora, hurry up, I have a bad feeling..." Old Barak kept urging his granddaughter.

Old Dengtou is now probably similar to a "half-heroic spirit" type. His physical body can only become the guardian of the original world, while his soul is like a descendant residing in a sword.

It should have been that greatsword, but he replaced it with the Tiga suit, so the other Swift Sword in Alola's hand is his true form.

"What's wrong, Grandpa? I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush..." The former pope looked at her impatient grandfather with a lot of speechlessness.

Despite having lived in this world for a week, Alora still feels somewhat unreal.

This is an incredibly peaceful world, so peaceful that it even made her, who had spent half her life in war, feel a sense of unreality, and this unreality made her even more fascinated by this place.

At the same time, she also understood why her grandfather, who had spent his life in the military, was so attached to this world.

only……

Looking at her "system panel," she was highly skeptical of it, and also of its contents...

[Task 1: Head to Xuejiaqiao Village. Reward: Initial Magic Unsealing (Limited to Tier 1 and below)]

[Task Two: With the help and witness of your grandfather, forcibly force Xue Daolu to his knees, then drag him to the church for your engagement. Reward: A marriage contract with Xue Daolu (world-certified). Note: Xue Daolu's personal favorability ±1]

The first task was alright, but the second task...

Ah this...

When Alora saw this quest, her expression was like that of a sweating soybean. She couldn't understand what was wrong with this world, with such an absurd quest.

Furthermore, she recalled Xue Lude, and although only a few months had passed, she could sense that Xue Lude was a very opinionated person.

Just like the human host in a tokusatsu drama, she has her own plans, her own determination, and an inner strength that is not swayed by anything external.

That was her only impression of the child.

But this second task was really making her nervous, especially since her grandfather kept urging her on after hearing about it, and also...

“This damn system of yours is very problematic, Alora. Trust my judgment. I know Xue's temper too well. He must have encountered a problem that no other world can solve before he came to us for help,” Old Barak continued, stating his assessment.

Arora remained silent; she found it hard to imagine what could be so difficult for a child with such a strong inner strength to overcome.

"Do you know Hideki Goe under the setting sun?" Old Barak suddenly asked.

During this time, they were taking risks while watching tokusatsu dramas on Xue Dinglu's phone.

Therefore, Barak watched almost all the tokusatsu dramas, but Alora did not. She was more picky and couldn't stand those Showa era Ultraman. She only watched the three Ultraman and some of the new generation.

Therefore, she couldn't catch the joke and could only shake her head.

"He was an incredibly strong man, but no matter how strong he was, he would fall into the lowest point in his life and even risk his life to force an Ultraman to compromise."

“Actually, the one whose personality is really similar to Xue’s is that of Hideki, not Daigo. Moreover, Xue is more extreme and doesn’t take himself seriously at all. He must have used some kind of technique with serious side effects to cause this situation,” Old Barak continued.

Looking back a few months ago, whether it was when he finally became a ghost and became one with him, or when he transformed into a giant of light under that mysterious academic ritual, old Barak had a very clear understanding of Xue's personality.

That kid is the type who would easily risk his life at the gambling table if he could achieve his goal, without any hesitation.

"Oh, right, Alora, there's also your mission. It says to beat that kid Xue to his knees. Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to make him kneel down and then drag him into the church to officiate the wedding," Old Deng added.

"Grandpa!" Arora was even more speechless at this old man.

"Okay, okay, I went off-topic just now, but I'm sure I'm not wrong. Since the world consciousness wants you to marry Xue, then he must have a huge problem in that area. I think he might be paralyzed right now, or he might have lost the ability to like someone else."

"That's why world consciousness came to us."

At this moment, a trace of anxiety and unease appeared on Old Barak's face. He had no idea what Xue's Law was in, and the more outrageous the task was, the more uneasy he felt.

"So, Alora, I hope you're truly sincere about that kid. It's even possible that his condition is more serious than we think; he might have turned into a lich." The old man continued rambling on.

In fact, Xue Delude had already become a ghost before. It was only after he connected with the world's consciousness that the world's power forcibly reversed his state from that of a ghost.

Therefore, he understood even more what it felt like to be a ghost.

He lost his five senses, leaving only his soul, and was in a state of extreme anger and resentment, a feeling that tormented him for decades.

Alora just rolled her eyes and continued, "Why does it seem like you're siding with the outsider? If I had a conflict with that kid, would you blindly side with him?"

“Of course! If Xue is having a conflict with you, then you must be the one with the problem,” Old Barak replied without hesitation.

The pope rolled her eyes, but after a long pause, she managed to say, "Actually, I don't know if I really like that child. I'm past the age where I can fall head over heels in love with someone."

"It's really just a feeling of pity for that child and gratitude for being saved. When you're most helpless and desperate, someone is willing to stand in front of you without hesitation. I think no woman could refuse such a boy..."

"But, just like a famous saying in this world, the furthest distance between longing and understanding is the longing. I don't know how long I can keep this longing and gratitude when it turns into the mundane trivialities of married life and the daily grind after the illusion has faded." She had actually thought about these things very seriously.

After all, even for a legendary figure, her age is considered mature.

No longer like a little girl who could pursue her dreams without considering the future, she would think about many things about the future and the time spent together.

Old Barack also fell silent. He truly longed to hold his great-grandchildren, especially his own granddaughter and Xue's child.

But in the end, he sighed and said, "Sorry, Alola."

"Well, I accept your apology. I'm not young anymore, and it's time for me to start thinking about how to be a good wife and mother." The pope said to the old man next to her on the side of the road, "Just don't blindly side with that child when we argue in the future."

"No way, why are you making Xue angry?" Old Barak said hurriedly.
