Otherworld Girl Development Guide

Soon, a nice bus stopped at the station. After the doors opened, Lingdang got on and swiped her smartwatch on the card reader.

"Beep~ Student ID card..."

After the bell was set up, the driver started the car. Since navigation satellites have not yet been launched, these electric buses can only be controlled by humans for the time being, and autonomous driving will be implemented later.

Through the car window, Lingdang could see the infrastructure under construction on both sides of the road.

According to Lingdang's understanding, in addition to the roads on the ground, there are underground transportation modes called subways and above-ground light rail. In the suburbs of Shangqiu, a fully functional airport that can dock the Kingdom's Orbal Airships is also under construction.

After passing through the noisy construction area, the bus stopped at the temporary school, and Lingdang got off and walked towards the school.

"I wonder what interesting things I'll learn today..." Lingdang muttered to herself as she pressed buttons on her smartwatch, selected Zhou Mingrui as her only contact, and sent a message:

"I've arrived at school."

A few seconds later, I received a reply from Zhou Mingrui:

Study hard.

With a screeching sound of brakes, another bus pulled up in front of the school. Some children from the town got off the bus, chattering excitedly, and then walked towards the school under the guidance of their teachers.

The child was very curious about everything in Shangqiu, like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden – dazzled by all the sights.

These local students were taken in by Shangqiu at the request of the town mayor. Educational resources within the kingdom are scarce, and many children never learn anything in their lives.

Upon discovering that there were schools in Shangqiu, the town mayor offered to provide agricultural products at the most favorable prices in exchange for accepting some school-age children from Shangqiu.

After discussions among the higher-ups in Shangqiu, the town mayor's request was approved. After all, if they learned my knowledge, we would be "one of our own."

"Ding ding!"

Upon hearing this, Lingdang frowned and turned to look. She saw a boy from the town whose eyes lit up when he saw her, and he ran straight towards her.

"Sigh~ Kids are so hard to deal with... They're so childish."

Lingdang sighed inwardly and scurried towards her classroom.

She wasn't learning pinyin like the other kids; she had already taught herself the fifth-grade curriculum and even read "Chinese History: Shangqiu Revised Edition" in her spare time.

It tells the story of how China fought against the heavens, the sea, and sea monsters in the Abyss Sea, and ultimately grew and prospered there.

Seeing that the bell was completely ignoring him, the little boy held back his tears and angrily walked into the "kindergarten class" where he was learning pinyin.

....................

"Mingrui... I heard you recently adopted a local girl?" the old man said with a half-smile.

"Cough cough..." Zhou Mingrui, who was drinking water, was startled by the old man's words and almost choked on the water: "...I'm saving a person. You know what happened to Lingdang. She definitely can't survive if she leaves Shangqiu."

Given Bell's situation, the Order would definitely pursue her relentlessly and send her back to the Kingdom, which would be tantamount to murder.

The old man looked at Zhou Mingrui with very bright eyes. He was well aware of Lingdang's plight, and Zhou Mingrui was indeed the most suitable person to adopt Lingdang. Others would not be as easy to get approved as Zhou Mingrui.

Ding-dong~ Zhou Mingrui glanced down at his phone and saw a message on the bell icon: I've arrived at school.

After casually replying with a half-hearted message, Zhou Mingrui looked at the old man again, waiting for him to continue.

"Since you've adopted the child, you must take responsibility for her," the old man reminded him again. Adopting a child is a good thing; it can help Zhou Mingrui mature quickly.

"I see."

Zhou Mingrui was well aware of his responsibilities. Adopting Lingdang was not like treating her to a meal; he was going to support her until she came of age and give her a skill so she could survive in Shangqiu.

The old man nodded, picked up the report Zhou Mingrui had brought him, and began to examine it. It recorded Lingdang's escape route.

"We will coordinate with the kingdom as soon as possible to cooperate in the pursuit of the cult..." the old man said solemnly.

"The Order?" Zhou Mingrui asked, puzzled.

"The intelligence sent by Queen Estée states that the organization that attacked us is called the Order, a sect or cult that aims to pursue truth as its ultimate goal."

The old man explained the facts to Zhou Mingrui, who then gained a better understanding of the force that attacked Shangqiu.

"Regarding the cult's actions, we have already defined it as an organization against humanity... The kingdom has also issued a warrant for its arrest, and the two sides will cooperate to carry out a crackdown on the cult within the kingdom's territory."

In fact, the cult's act of gathering 30 mechs to attack Shangqiu completely crossed the bottom line of the Bel Kingdom.

Today they're attacking Shangqiu, but what about tomorrow...? If they concentrate their forces to attack a kingdom city, then the entire city will probably be slaughtered by these cultists!

Author's Note on the Launch of Section 0

Dear readers, my fourth book is now available! (A little tribute to the heavenly "Second Cycle")

The first book, "Interstellar," is currently on hiatus.

The second book, "Second Cycle," has been completely removed from online platforms.

The third book, "A Loli Arrives Beside Me," will resume updates tomorrow.

This is the fourth book.

This book is a niche subject I chose from several ideas. I learned from the experience of the plot collapse in the middle of "Second Play" and will not "indulge in self-indulgence" again. All the stories take place on Mingrui Star.

The fantasy world development theme is a very niche genre in the market, and almost no one writes about it, but I just want to write about a little rabbit's dream of a great power.

However, this book was not developed by a single rabbit, but by a group of rabbits. After all, the power of a single rabbit is limited, while the power of a group of rabbits is ruthless and endless.

Every rabbit is a witness to the great rejuvenation, and also a participant.

As a development topic, some readers may ask why there wasn't much development in the early stages, and why it remained "invincible" the whole time.

The prerequisite for development is to lay a solid foundation and complete basic construction.

The rabbit's journey begins in the Abyss Sea. Due to the limited area of ​​the islands, large-scale industry cannot be carried out. Therefore, it is necessary to turn its attention to the continent, as only the continent has enough space to complete the construction of large-scale industry and the development of the planet.

I sped up the development process appropriately, otherwise the development would have been too time-consuming and the main character would have aged.

Development is intertwined with conflict. Will the Rebonian Empire, the Republic of Calva, and other powers just stand by and watch you grow stronger? The answer is clearly no.

In order to develop and survive, the rabbit must contend with the major powers on the continent. The Rebonia Empire, the Republic of Calva, the Kingdom of Bel, and Krobel are all unseen battlefields.

The best strategy is to subdue the enemy without fighting! Our ancestors knew the dangers of war long ago. War should only be used as a last resort because it not only exacerbates conflicts but also leaves behind many problems.

Of course, there are many foreshadowing elements in the book, and I wonder if the readers have noticed them. These are all issues that need to be addressed in the later stages of the story.

Because of the sensitivity of the subject matter, I will not become a political commentator, nor will I touch on sensitive topics.

Some readers might say that writing it is no big deal, and that others have written it without any issues...

To this group of readers, all I want to say is: people need to eat. My second reading was taken down, which caused my wife and I to go hungry for three months, and I developed PTSD!

Finally, regarding the issue of the protagonist having a harem, don't worry about that. He won't have a harem. The protagonist isn't the kind of brainless harem man who knows what he should and shouldn't do.

There will be no issues like the army going berserk in the book; the fundamental principle of D commanding the gun remains unchanged!

The final chase:

I beg all you beautiful and handsome guys to subscribe, tip, or even send me a knife!

I beg all you beautiful and handsome guys to subscribe, tip, or even send me a knife!

I beg all you beautiful and handsome guys to subscribe, tip, or even send me a knife!

I'll say it three times because it's important: to be honest, you are my bread and butter!

Finally, regarding the issue of donations: There will be a donation period of 10-20 chapters in the middle of the month. After that, another donation period of 10-20 chapters will be held.

Chapter 70 Rainbow-5

To ensure compatibility with the Bel Kingdom's airship transport network, a pick-up and drop-off point for regular ships was specially built at the civilian airport. However, compared to the kingdom's regular ship stations, the facilities here are more intelligent and digitalized.

In the sky, an airship bearing the royal insignia is slowly descending.

Thanks to the skilled pilots, the airship landed precisely at its designated parking spot, prompting applause from the ground crew around it – a testament to the pilots' prowess.

Once the regular ship came to a stop, the retractable gangway extended onto the airship.

As soon as the hatch opened, a small white bird flew out, circled once in the air, and then chirped merrily.

"Chirp~"

"Churi?"

Zhou Mingrui immediately recognized the white bird. Since Chuli had arrived, that meant... His gaze turned toward the hatch, and soon he saw a familiar figure—Princess Corliss.

Queen Estée sent her granddaughter over; is this to represent Queen Estéee's wishes...? It makes sense, considering the principle of equality and mutual assistance, many actions require the kingdom's authorization.

"Good day, it's been a long time, Mr. Zhou Mingrui."

Dressed casually, Corliss bowed to Zhou Mingrui. Zhou Mingrui thought her hair seemed to have grown quite a bit, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination. Behind her, Yuri bowed to Zhou Mingrui as well.

“It’s been a long time, Miss Corliss... This way please.”

After returning the gift, Princess Corliss, guided by Zhou Mingrui, got into a Hongqi car and drove towards the command center in Shangqiu.

Along the way, Corliss looked at Shangqiu, which was already taking shape, with a hint of surprise. Although she had heard that people in Shangqiu were particularly fast at building things, she never expected that the construction speed would be so fast!

"Mr. Zhou Mingrui, I heard you were attacked by the cult. Are you alright?" Corliss turned her gaze from outside to Zhou Mingrui and asked.

"It's alright. We discovered the cult's intentions early on and thwarted their plot before they could launch an attack, thus protecting the lives and property of the people."

As Zhou Mingrui spoke, he realized that his words sounded rather...formulaic, so he coughed lightly and continued, "Ahem...I wonder what brings Miss Corliss here this time?"

"Grandma has something to attend to, so this time the Kingdom is cooperating with Shangqiu to eradicate the cult, and I will be the Kingdom's representative."

Just as I thought... Zhou Mingrui thought to himself.

...............

Shangqiu Command Center.

In the room next to CIC, Princess Corliss sat in a chair, looking through the one-way glass at the busy staff in CIC. On the huge digital screen, a region appeared on the map of the Kingdom of Bell.

Zhou Mingrui, as the host, is explaining the basic uses of some CIC equipment to the princess... As a strategic partner of the rabbit, the royal family of the Kingdom of Bell can still show some things to Corliss, which represents sincerity.

"Thank you."

Corliss took the monocle Zhou Mingrui handed her and examined it curiously.

The monocle is shaped like the power level meter from Dragon Ball.

Under Zhou Mingrui's demonstration, Corliss put on the AR augmentation device, and then activated it. Immediately, a simple logo flashed across the single eyepiece, and the system then entered a self-check. After confirming that there were no abnormalities, the AR eyepiece was activated.

With a soft beep in my ear, the AR device connected to the command center's network.
