UPDATE SCHEDULE: Mon-Wed-Fri

A/N: Please enjoy this story as it doesn't have a deep plot and tons of plot twists. I made this light and enjoyable to read with more on adventure and character development than focusing on actions and mysteries. So please don't complain too much saying the novel doesn't make any sense or doesn't have a real plot. I wrote this for sole entertainment anyways.

I might even drop this halfway through if I don't see improvements in my writing.

Warning: My main character is not that smart. Also, he sides with neither good nor bad as he will always follow his desires and what his 'partner' tells him to. So his character is quite cruel yet weak and not heroic too.

Anyways, I thank you for stopping by and giving this story a try.

PS: This story is inspired by 'Trash of the Count's Family.' I am obsessed with TCF, it's really good and suits my taste. Please read it too!

The new guide was a little worried about Yin Dajing's tricks, but when he heard Chang Qiu calling Yin Dajing's uncle, he had no protection against him. At this age, he still called such a young martial uncle. It seems that he learned from the same school, that is, the martial arts school. The two around her are still martial arts.

What's more, behind her, it's Guicheng Haijia.

"Invoice? Hehe, we don't have this thing. We can't open it. " The attitude of the new tour guide is totally disdainful.

Chang Qiu said, "well, very good."

The new tour guide said: "OK, there's so much nonsense. Is it a direct transfer? I don't have time to spend with you here... "

Chang Qiu sighed, looked at the new tour guide and said, "I want to transfer money to you. I'm afraid you can't afford it."

 


"It's better to pretend that you are special than..." The new tour guide immediately scolded, "how much money do you make? I can bear it. This is Guicheng. I can't afford such a small sum of two million?"

 


As soon as his voice dropped, he saw a young man in his early thirties running up to him, slightly panting Often Secretary, I've contacted the boss of Guixiang Hotel and Guiyuan travel agency. They've all come here. "

 


"You Who are you The new tour guide suddenly seems to have been stepped on the tail, a sense of crisis, the moment filled the whole body.

At the same time, the middle-aged men and the security guards around the new tour guide are also some fried dishes. They are not stupid. When they see the man in black around Chang Qiu, they are worried.

 


This is a bodyguard. Those who take bodyguards with them at any time are not ordinary people. They are either rich or expensive.

However, it was not the first time that they had done such a thing. They were relieved when they heard the words "Secretary Chang" and the young man even called "the owner of Guixiang Hotel" and "the boss of Guiyuan travel agency". It was obvious that the matter was a big one.

 


Although it is the boss's command behind this, but if something really happens, their "temporary workers" must be used to stop the evil.

"Shut up." When the youth heard how the new tour guide scolded Chang Qiu, he said angrily, "you don't know what disaster is coming."

"Disaster is coming, you are so special." The new tour guide is a young girl. Although she has a close relationship with Hai Linyuan, who is the lover of Hai Linyuan, she has never seen the world and doesn't know how powerful she is.

 


"You two, open your mouth. Teach him a good lesson. " The new guide ordered.

Compared with the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man who was kicking his feet out of the middle-aged man's eyes just now, the middle-aged man's two big fists have not seen out of the middle-aged man's two big kicks, but the two big fists of the middle-aged man's face have not been seen.

 


Yin Dajing just made a move, but he didn't want to show his strength in front of his colleagues in the company.

But the man in black was different. He wanted to die directly.

The two middle-aged men couldn't stand up for a long time after being kicked.

"You How dare you hit people? It's over. I can tell you responsibly that you are finished. This is not a problem that can be solved by two million. "

The new tour guide was furious. She bit her teeth, took out her mobile phone and called Hai Linyuan.

Hai Linyuan is the youngest son of the Hai family master in Guicheng. He is one of the four shaos in Guicheng and is known as a cruel man.

"Hello, baby, do you miss me?" The new tour guide also deliberately turned on the mobile phone hands-free, in order to let everyone hear the sound of Hai Linyuan.

The new tour guide is very proud to be a woman in the sea, and she shows off her work. When there are outsiders, she likes to play with her hands-free.

Although there are many women in Hai Linyuan, he is still very satisfied with the new tour guide. He takes new tour guide to participate in many activities.

"Brother yuan, someone bullied me. You're angry for me." The new guide is coquettish.

"What? Someone dare to bully you? It's a pretty good life. " Hai Linyuan said with a smile, "OK, don't be angry. In this way, where are you? I'll arrange someone to help you."

"I'm in Guixiang hotel now." Said the new guide.

"Guixiang hotel? Isn't this cengui's hotel? Mom, I didn't ask Cen Guan to take care of you. How could you still Hello, Hello, I'm driving. The signal is not good here. I'll talk about it later... "

At the back of the phone, zizizi rang a few times and then hung up.

Almost when Hai Linyuan hung up the phone, cen Guan, the owner of Guixiang Hotel, and Guiyuan travel agency came together.

"Cen GUI, it's a long way to go. You're here so soon. Hum, you're here just in time. You're just taking care of these guys for me." The new guide pointed to Yin Dajing, Chang Qiu and others.

CEN GUI was just about to cry. He was so sad that when he heard the new tour guide's words, he rushed over and slapped her in the face. "I'll go to your uncle's, what's your special thing? Dare you talk to me like this?"Luyuan was even more unhappy, and gave her a good kick and scolded: "from now on, you are fired. You are no longer an employee of our Guiyuan travel agency."

What is it? Relying on the relationship between the sea and the abyss, we don't even pay attention to it?

Although they are members of the Hai family, they are not slaves of the Hai family. They can respect the people of the Hai family. If you can become the wife of Hai Linyuan, we can also respect you. But you are special, but you are just an invisible lover. In a few years, Hai Linyuan will kick you out.

We can be polite to you, but when is it?

Now don't say it's us. Even if it's the sea near the abyss, it's unfair.

"You How dare you beat me... " The new tour guide was completely muddled, cried out, and dialed the phone in the past, and soon the phone was dialed again.

"What are you doing? I said, I'm driving. " On the other end of the phone, there's really a racing sound. However, it is obvious that Hai Linyuan has begun to be dissatisfied.

The new tour guide is going crazy now. Naturally, he doesn't care about it. "Brother yuan, cen GUI and Lu Yuan come here, and they beat me up CEN GUI slapped me and Luyuan kicked me. My face was swollen Sobbing Brother yuan, you have to decide for me... "

"What? Are they LuChen and lugui crazy Sea Lin Yuan's astonished way.

Lu Yuan quickly said, "Hai Shao, this woman, is hiding from all of us. Tourists from other places who come across porcelain are of bad nature..."

Obviously, it's a long way to go. I want to make a final conclusion and push all the things to the new tour guide. But Hai Linyuan is racing. I don't have any awareness of this.

"It's so stupid of you to be far away. Isn't that what you and I often do? Isn't that what I asked her to come here for? "

The girlfriend who has been talking about online dating for half a year is actually a classmate posing as…By chance, Yin Jing discovered that he was able to copy the skills of others.English level eight? Yes, copied it!Advanced medical skills? Copied it!Advanced cooking? Copied it!Piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, proficient in everything, not to press down on many skills.…"Huh? There is still cultivation method? I copied it!"

This novel is translated from chinese to english.

"Everyone, follow me closely. The Dalong Mountain tourist area is in ahead, not far. Our group will carry out a three-day group building activity in the Dalong Mountain tourist area. Today we are going to take a walking tour of the Dalong Mountain to take a good look at our beautiful Dalong Mountain."

The tour guide Xiao Wu introduced the attractions vigorously, trying to attract the attention of the group, but few people listened to his introduction.

Three or five in a group, not chatting with each other, just taking pictures.

Xiao Wu looked at this group of people, felt a little helpless, and cursed the company leaders at the same time, a large group of 200 people lets him be the guide. They are really capitalists, and only knows exploitation.

The only thing that made Xiao Wu comfort was that none of these people got rid of the group without authorization, otherwise, he almost wanna quit.

Though complaining, the guide Xiao Wu still smiled on his face: "Friends, pay attention, let's go into the mountain now, please follow me, the mountain road is dangerous, pay attention to safety, do not deviate from the safe route."

Then, Xiao Wu led the way walked ahead, looking back from time to time.  They proceeded in accordance with the safe route that had been opened up.

In the first hour, nothing happened. Although the route was artificially created, the scenery was still very beautiful.

But there are too many people, and there will be many kinds of people. Some people were not satisfied with watching such artificial landscapes. They want to see real wild landscapes.

Whatever the idea was, as long as there were some who take the lead, and someone will echo. Most of them were inspired, and the people who have always followed the rules will become unruly.

Even if Xiao Wu said thousands of times, it is useless. In the end, more than half of them want to see the real wild scenery, and the remaining half of them follow the flow.

In the end, Xiao Wu had no choice but to agree to the members' requests, temporarily changed the route of travel, and walked deep into the Dalong Mountain.

Walking around, about an hour later, a group of people had walked inside the Dalong Mountain. The weather somewhat became sultry. The fog began to appear in the mountains and forests, and the sun was shining down.

Everyone was happy, those who propose to see a wild beauty were even more proud.

Only Xiao Wu felt something not right. The mist appeared so abruptly that it appeared too quickly, and he immediately decided to take the group back to the regular route.

"Guide Xiao Wu, let's play for a while, it's still early, we are not far from the regular route, and it's easy to go back."

"Yeah, tourist guide. Our group tour only happened once a year. It's not easy to encounter such beautiful scenery. We must have fun this time!"

"Please, let's play for a while, how about play half an hour more?"

All the members trying to persuade guide Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu did not flinch this time but insisted on his own thoughts, saying, "No, we can't stay here anymore. The mist is getting thicker and thicker, and we must rush back to the safe route before the mist obstructs our sight.

Its not a suggestion, I'm thinking about the safety of everyone's life. This time you listen to me, we must go back, now, immediately, immediately! "

"Okay, okay, okay, it's disappointing!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's tough attitude, the members of the regiment no longer insisted, just complained, and looked at Xiao Wu with an unhappy expression.

As if he did not see their facial expression or heard their complaining, Xiao Wu said, "Now, before we go back, I'll check the people to see if anyone has separated from the team!"

Then, Xiao Wu began to count: 1, 2, 3, 4 ... 198,199.

"Hey, what's going on? Why are there only 199? Isn't it 200?" Xiao Wu's facial expression changed.

Some people laughed, "Tourist guide, are you confused? You didn't count yourself? If you count yourself, the number of people is right!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu was relieved, yes, exactly 200 people!

However, the next moment, Xiao Wu's facial expression changed again: bullshit, if I counted myself, it should have 201 people.

Watching Xiao Wu's face keep changing, someone teased: "Xiao Wu, have you learned Fast mask-changing? In such a short time, you have changed your facial expression several times, haha ..."

Many people also laughed, relaxing and happy.

At this moment, Xiao Wu couldn't laugh at all. He was so anxious inside that he looked at the person who laughed heartlessly and shouted, "Don't laugh, what's so funny? Count me, then a total of 201 people, One less! "

When the person heard Xiao Wu say this, he was a little angry, but at that time he did not wanna argue about this and said, "Xiao Wu, don't make a joke, you are counting wrong, let's count it again!"

"Yes, I should count again, I may really count wrong, 1,2,3,4 ... 189,190,190, damn, count again? I count again, 1,2,3,4  ... 168, 174, 174, how can it be less? Impossible "Xiao Wu felt very cold.

There was no sound in the tour group, and their facial expressions changed. It may be normal to miscount once, but if it miscounted twice or three times, then it is basically not miscounting, and the count number less each time.

"Guide, Xiao Zhang is missing!"

"Sister Wang is missing, just now Sister Wang was here with me!"

More and more people were disappearing. Finally, the people in the tour group found out something went wrong. The people around them were disappearing. The remaining people were increasingly panic, especially when they call for help. The equipment had failed, the panic deepened.

Looking at the beautiful old scenery, no one felt beautiful, there was only endless fear, looking around, they felt like watching the devil who eats people without spitting out their bones.

Those who disappear at first just disappeared silently. In the end, someone disappeared directly under the eyes of everyone.

"Damn, how could this be?" Xiao Wu's mind collapsed, crouching on the ground holding his head and shaking, the last person of the tour group disappeared in front of his eyes, and there was only mist in the surrounding.

Then, the figure of Xiao Wu disappeared in the mist.

Strange to say, when Xiao Wu disappeared, the fog here quickly disappeared and turned into the original look.

An hour later, the team brought by Xiao Wu did not arrive at the scheduled place. The people who were ready to meet at the scheduled place noticed something wrong and reported the situation to the travel company in a timely manner.

Xiaowu's travel company, immediately connected to Xiao Wu, only heard these words on the phone: Sorry, the user you called is temporarily out of the service area, please dial again later! Sorry ...

Something went wrong, this was the first reaction of the travel company!

Because Xiao Wu's travel company has a rule, the tourist guide must keep the phone on for 24 hours to facilitate contact at any time and report work.

In addition, the routes were all prescribed safe routes, and there were no areas without signals. There could have an accident so that his phone can not be contacted.
 
Immediately, Xiao Wu's travel company started a series of arrangements such as rescue and search, and also reported the matter to the relevant local authorities.

When you look up at the stars, have you ever thought that there is a monster looking at you?

When you pass by someone, have you ever thought that it cast greedy eyes on your flash and blood?

Humans are not alone, monsters are around us.

Most of our exploring that afternoon was us walking in the area near our hotel just looking at the gothic architecture and window shopping. Ponta Delgada truly us one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.

"I really want to get a taxi to the Mercado da Graça..." my mom said looking at a travel guide.

"Its a covered market with a wide variety of fresh fruits! Doesn't a picnic at the Harbor for dinner sound lovely?" she asked.

"It does. I heard there are hot springs hear from the locals. I would really love to go to them on one of the days." said Lee.

"I could use a good soak. Nothing helps out the knee more than hot water. That is one thing I miss about my time in Japan. I know I was supposed to be fighting them but I just wanted to walk around in that fancy robe drinking sake while in a hot spring all day." said my dad while rubbing his knee. 

"They are called Kimonos or Yukatas dad." I said rolling my eyes.

"But that does sound really nice....I like sushi too." I responded trailing off.

"Oooo Stacie! They have a pineapple plantation!" said my mom with sparkling eyes.

My mouth instantly started watering. 

My father grabbed the travel guide from her and started flipping through the pages.

"Don't just yank from my hands!" said my mom taking back the travel guide and giving him a playful wack.

"Watch it there tiger. I bite." said my father winking.

"Um. Right here. Ew." I said thoroughly grossed out.

My mom blushed and covered her face with the book. 

"Let's just get a taxi and head to the market before it closes." stuttered and walking away. 

My dad grabbed Lee by the shoulder "I need to speak with you in private for a bit boy."  said my dad stepping away. Lee was listening intently and nodding. Then he fished out some money and pat him on the back. Lee walked up to me smirking.

"What was that about?" I asked.

Lee bent over to whisper in my ear "He told me that the reason he brought me was to give you someone to explore with so he can have alone time tonight with your mom at the hotel."

I scrunched up my face "you could have made up a lie."

Lee laughed "why do that when I can see you make that face instead?" 

I shoved him and my mom ran out from a cafe.

"I just bought a chai tea for you in exchange for a phone. The taxi is on the way." said my mom while handing my father a cup of chai. 

My father took a sip from the cup and sighed. "I have the best wife in the world." Then my father grabbed my mom by the waist and kissed her on the cheek. My mom smiled.

"I think I'm going to want to go exploring with Lee tonight if this is how you guys are gonna be all night." 

Everyone chuckled a bit at that. 

"Ill try to figure out some age appropriate stuff to do of course sir." said Lee holding up both hands.

"As long as you are both safe, I don't care what you do." said my dad. 



When the taxi arrived, my mom asked the driver if he spoke english and he shook his head. My mom then opened the travel guide and showed him the picture of the market. He gave a thumbs up and gestured for us to get in.

He drove us there in silence and when he arrived we paid him our faire and got out. The market really did have a great variety. Fresh fruit, local cheeses, and wines were in abundance.

"We really should try a wine. Portugese wine is famous." said my mom. 

My father and mom were chatting about what to get and simply asking the market workers for recommendations and rolling with that.

They eventually packed a nice basket of goodies. I wandered the market without them taking in sounds and smells. I walked up to a booth of a fruit I wasn't familiar with. I picked it up and smelled it. The worker started speaking to me in portuguese.

"I'm so sorry, I don't speak Portuguese..." I said. 

"Maracujá dos Açores. Delicious." The worker then cut it in front of me to reveal a very odd seed interior that looked like a yellow alien egg sack. He then took half and handed it to me and scooped out the insides with his fingers and ate. Then he gestured me to do the same. I did and was hit with a strong tart flavor. It was delicious just like he said. 

"Why are you eating passion fruit with your fingers?" asked Lee with my parents in tow.

"I've never had it before." I said taking another scoop with my fingers.

"...I like it." I added on savoring the taste.

My mom then grabbed 2 and paid the man a proper amount.

"Well don't just wander off by yourself next time okay?"asked my father and I nodded while taking another scoop of passion fruit.

Set in the last few years of the Vietnam was, slightly antisocial and unrelatable Stacie loses her dog to cancer and it sends her into a state of mourning that summons a devil. He is not allowed to leave until she makes a deal with him but she will never do that. She is sassy, blunt, asexual, and has no desire for power or fame. Sometimes your lack of desire can be exactly why you end up where you don't want to be.

The driver thought that they were the usual cash cows that were easily deceived. He had no idea how advanced the equipment hidden within Helian Wei Wei's hair was. Besides capturing sound and image, the mini gadget could also transmit data to the Internet at the same time. 
The driver did not even realize that his license plate number had been taken down and everything he said was being recorded too...
It was exactly how the middle-aged man had described, the driver put Helian Wei Wei's family on a tour bus that collected individual travelers. These buses departed from a bus station in Li City, they were then put on a schedule with an assigned tour guide to every bus. 
The tour guide in charge of Helian Wei Wei's family called himself Tour Guide Xiao and he was a Li City local. He was pretty humorous and he talked quite a bit about the local culture and customs in the first 10 minutes of their departure. At first he sounded pretty normal, but the more he spoke, his intention of selling jade became more obvious. 
At this point, some who had woken up early in the morning were starting to take naps on the bus. Some were here to have fun so they just wanted to chat among themselves. After all, it was a one-hour journey to the scenic spot.
Tour Guide Xiao started to express his discontent. He glanced at the two girls who were chatting lowly and said, "Please don't talk when I am trying to introduce something to you, this is basic manners. Alright, listen to me. You are all here to have fun, so it is important to adopt the correct attitude when you travel. If you see something you like you should grab it quickly, we are arriving at our destination soon. I hope I don't have to look for you when we are there, some people just hide in the toilets when they get there. We are not monsters and beasts, you don't have to hide from us. You are out to have fun so you shouldn't worry about splurging. The goods we provide are of good quality, we are quite close to Myanmar here so you should take advantage of that…"
His entire speech was hinting at the jades. Helian Wei Wei could sense that the two female college students were feeling conflicted when they heard his speech and they were discussing something in low voices.
The destination they arrived at was the Grand Jubilee Jewelry Mall mentioned by the middle-aged man. There was a dazzling array of jades within, and there was even an underground stone gambling den. 
Every stone was marked with a price, you could cut it if you liked. As the saying goes, a cut could determine your wealth. It had its origins in stone gambling, if your cut showed jade, it meant that you've hit the jackpot. 
This was something that usually intrigued Little Qingchen, but after looking at all the stones in the market, he threw up his little hands for very few of them were jade.
He was not interested anymore so he followed Baili Shangxie obediently as they looked around together. 
After one round of strolling, Little Qingchen came back and reported to Helian Wei Wei with his little face raised, "I've seen everything. Basically, every piece of jade here is overpriced. The feet grinding jade Uncle Monkey gave me could be sold at forty thousand here, but Uncle Monkey said he only bought it for four thousand. Everything here is really expensive."
"That means we are on the right track." Helian Wei Wei smiled evilly and pressed on her Bluetooth earphone, "Monkey, are you there?"
On the other side of the phone, Monkey paused his League of Legends game and spoke excitedly, "Boss, is Little Boss looking for me? I knew he would need me."
"Get lost!" Old A pushed Monkey away, "Little Boss would ask for me first before looking for you."
Helian Wei Wei could not help but hold her forehead while she waited for them to quiet down, "Alright, let's get down to business. Monkey, please find out who owns Li City's Grand Jubilee Jewelry Mall and the connections behind it. After you're done investigating, send me the photos in 10 minutes. I want to see everything you have about this place after 10 minutes."
"Yes." The rough men behaved differently when they were in work mode. 
Monkey was responsible for hacking while the others were responsible for gearing up. They had gotten permission from Young Master Tang, so as soon as they had irrefutable evidence, they could arrest the related personnel on the spot discreetly.
Such an operation was considered an S-grade mission on the mainland. That means no one else would know anything about it as all the deployments were made directly by Tang Sect.
Therefore, the atmosphere in Li City was still calm. 
Almost one hour later, Tour Guide Xiao paced over. Once he saw that the two female college students were empty-handed without any purchase, his attitude turned bad. With a stern cold face, he spoke to them, "We're all here to enjoy the services but you two did not buy a single thing. With this kind of behavior you shouldn't even travel, why don't you stay at home instead."
No one liked to be lectured in this manner, one of them was more direct so she rebutted, "We're here to travel not to shop. We don't feel like buying anything so we won't."
Tour Guide Xiao's nostrils flared when he heard her reply and he replied maliciously, "A girl shouldn't speak so aggressively. Buying something here would keep you safe you know."
The other female student started to be afraid when she saw how he behaved. She reached out her hand to drag her friend away.
A few tour guides looked in their direction. They did not look friendly at all. 
They were girls after all. If a conflict happened, they would really get the short end of the stick as they were on foreign grounds.
Seeing that they had withdrawn and would not cause any more trouble, Tour Guide Xiao allowed them to stand aside in annoyance. Then he turned and saw that Helian Wei Wei's family was empty-handed as well. He walked to Baili Jia Jue and sneered, "It seems like you have not bought anything too. Brother, I will tell you the same, if you don't have the money you shouldn't travel. If you are not spending any money when you're out, what's the difference between you and those who beg and scrimp? Paupers should just stay home."
Poor? Pauper? Beg and scrimp?
When Baili Shangxie heard these adjectives, he was still holding Little Qingchen's hand but he raised his head slightly.
If they told this human how much jewels they had in the demon realm, he would probably freak out. 
Furthermore, when they were in the United Kingdom, his Imperial Father had expanded their business in the human realm in order to locate his Imperial Mother faster. Their wealth was far greater by China's standards. In his opinion, this human's end was fast approaching.
Because the smile playing on the corner of his Imperial Father's lips was too obvious, it was so obvious that all the existing or concealed creatures around felt a strong sense of uneasiness. This included the two reapers held by Little Qingchen.
"Is this person stupid, huh? Is he stupid?!"
He could trifle with others but he had to provoke the Great Demon King. The Demon King could destroy the entire human realm if he was unhappy, damn, what a retard!
People like him should be condemned to the eighteen layers of hell immediately, he should not be allowed to parade his dumbness in the human realm! 
"Why? Have you lost your tongue? Don't tell me you're scared out of your wits…"


She, a 21st century mercenary queen, had crossed over into a tragically betrayed body of a waste. Waste? She will show them what it means to be a waste!
Betrayed? With the Ancient Manual in her hands, she will astonish all the despicable men and cheap women!
Wait! Didn’t everyone say that she was an evil woman which everyone feared? Why is his Third Highness, full of mystery and charisma, so interested in her?

So this is all where it ends huh? Really? We thought we are friends since we were children and expecting to be best buds till the last of our breaths, but here we are. Here I am lying on the floor being stabbed.

"Why it could be you ha? Why is it always you to have them? Why is it always you being flocked by girls?"

He withdraws the knife and stabbed it again, and with that last stab, all my senses faded and I can see flashbacks about my recent activities in my life.

Blacking out, I left the world, leaving my family and girlfriend. Sorry, and I hope you will all be fine.

- - - - -

"Eh? Where is this?"

I found my self standing in a void, I am surprised to have my senses back. I suddenly heard a feminine robotic voice that got me stunned.

"Hello! I'm HLN-A, a fractal memory design to be your guide!"

I may have my senses back and wanted to say something but I can't talk back. Fractal Memory? Guide? 

I look around to discern where the voice came from but I did not see her.

"Don't worry and you can't see me. I'm inside of you. Just listen to me and you won't get your self killed."

She answered in a cheerful voice and what my thoughts were. So I decided to not think of anything and continue to listen to what she is about to say.

I already died so I don't know if this is a dream or not.

"Probably... I'm new at this too."


Then, she said in a low voice as if she didn't know what she is saying.

"Well as you can see, you died in your previous world but given a chance by the higher-ups and they said if you refuse, you will be stuck here in this lonely void. Alone. You don't want that right?"

So for short, I don't have any say in this. I thought there is heaven or hell, but...

"Okay! Silence means yes!"

Idiot... How can I answer you if I can't talk? I internally sighed.

"Now, I will begin to clarify everything. You will travel to multiple worlds and save these worlds."

Expecting me to play hero huh... 

"But you're a normal human with no special abilities so before we let you travel and save these worlds. I was designed to guide you and help you get stronger by surviving in an exotic Islands."

She stopped for a while then continued.

"There are 10 Islands to be exact that will make you stronger. Maybe you know about dinosaurs right? Yes, these Islands have different biomes and kinds of dinosaurs that you can tame, raise,  companion, and breed them to have stronger offspring. Also, you can take them to the worlds you will travel in the future."

"Now then, I will name all the Islands and choose what you like."

1. The Island.
2. Valguero.
3. Extinction.
4. Crystal Isles.
5. Aberration.
6. Ragnarok.
7. Scorched Earth.
8. Primitive plus.
9. The Center.
10. The Center.

"Okay, I want you to think about the Island where you want to go."

Can I at least ask the details of each Island? Some names are quite scary in truth... I hope she understands.

"Hmmm... About what you thought right now. No, I am not allowed to tell you the details about each Island because I was programmed to. I am allowed to tell you once you already choose one and take note that every Island is not safe but with me, you will be fine..."

Your voice seems not confident enough to guide me. Well, Okay... Maybe the Island? it's a simple name so it will be fine right?

"Okay! Initializing! Installing... Transferring to the Island."

I immediately heard a woosh sound and my surroundings feel like being stretched.

How many minutes pass?

"Hello? Finally, you are awake!" I heard the cheerful voice of HLN-A and opened my eyes.

I feel tired and found myself lying in the sand. Yep, I'm on the beach.

"So this is the Island huh?"

I can finally talk and looked around to check if there is something wrong. I checked my body and it was all fine but there is a weird triangle thing stuck in my wrist. It changes color from violet, green, red and yellow every two seconds.

"HLN-A can you hear or understand me?"

I said in a calm and silent voice. It's a new place so I decided to stay low and want to confirm everything.

"Yes, partner! Now then, you are at the southern part of the Island where only Herbivores are living. Good right?"

"Good for you but not for me... Now? What do I do first?"

I asked my genius guide.

"For now it's necessary to collect stones, wood, and thatch to craft tools that will help you collect materials easier."

"But I don't have any crafting experience?"

Yes, I only know how to craft in Minecraft or Terraria.

"Partner, everything you will collect will transfer in your inventory and you can use the crafting system to craft things easier."

Well, that's very helpful thank you. Then she continued to speak.

"And also, every time you level-up, you will automatically get stronger. But not just that, I will
tell you later once you tame your first companion."

So there is also a leveling system like in games huh... I nod and understand. Wait...

"Wait? HLN-A why is their a giant fin in that side of the sea?" 

I asked, there is like a shark-like fin but it's too big to be a normal shark.

"Partner, you can call me Hellena and also, oh! That? It's a Megalodon! You have to tame that or tame a faster monster to travel to the main Island. As you can see, I transferred you hear because all are herbivores. Hehehe..."

Now I know I fucked up. This Island is small and Hellena transferred me here, all maybe herbivores but the resources will be limited. I heard about megalodons on the internet. Known as one of the largest predators on the internet.

I don't know if your useful, useless or idiot Hellena. I rather face carnivores than that monster...

Are you ready to get stronger in another world to save another world? Accept the challenge and everything you desire will be yours.

However, Fang Yunjing was a student after all. She was burdened with her studies, so she seldom had the chance to come to One Finger Monastery. The chances of them meeting were low.
Fangzheng was a little surprised to suddenly meet her today. He felt a little guilty, afraid that he would be recognized by someone he knew.
Just as Fangzheng was about to dodge, he heard the driver shout, "Take the correct seat. Don't take the wrong seat? That will save us trouble."
Fangzheng hurriedly took out the card he had hung on his neck and looked at the seat number: "Number 42!"
Fangzheng immediately felt relieved. With such a seat at the back, he could definitely distance himself from Fang Yunjing.
Red Boy heaved a sigh of relief as well. The two of them looked up to find their seats. The seats had their numbers on the racks above the seats. On the left were No. 1 and No. 2, followed by No. 3 and No. 4…
"What's your number?" Fang Yunjing asked kindly.
Fangzheng took out his card and said, "Number 42."
Fang Yunjing smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I'm number 41. What I'm sitting at Seat 42. I suffer from car sickness. Can I change seats with you? Sitting by the window is more comfortable."
Fangzheng was instantly dumbfounded when he heard that. He looked up at the top of his head. Indeed, Fang Yunjing was sitting at number 42!
Red Boy tugged at Fangzheng's trousers, implying, "We can't avoid her, what do we do?"
Fangzheng patted his head, implying: "It's fine."
Hence Fangzheng smiled. "It's fine. This Pe… I can sit anywhere."
Then, Fangzheng sat down and carried Red Boy over, placing him on his lap.
Red Boy did not look at Fang Yunjing the entire time, afraid that he would be recognized. It was a classic example of having a guilty conscience.
Fangzheng was fine. Since he couldn't avoid it, he decided to face it calmly. He sat there and waited for the bus to drive off.
"Are you guys doing the one-day tour?" Fang Yunjing asked curiously.
Fangzheng patted Red Boy on the head. Red Boy felt helpless. It was time for him to lie. "That's right. We also signed up for the one-day trip. However, we spent our last bit of money. Now, we have nothing left. Not a single cent."
Fang Yunjing did not believe Red Boy. She pursed her lips with a smile and said nothing.
Not long after, a tall and burly woman entered the bus. She was dressed in red, making her look fiery. She had a large ponytail, but it did not make her look innocent at all. Instead, she looked even fiercer.
The woman's voice was very loud. She said loudly, "Hello everyone. I'm your tour guide for this tour. You can call me Tour Guide Li. I'll use your registered phone number's last few numbers. Shout out when it's your number."
Then, it was a round of attendance-taking. They were split into groups and families. After figuring out what was going on, Tour Guide Li added, "Everyone, listen up. Today is a low-priced, one-day tour, but we don't have any hidden expenses, nor do we force anyone to spend. Today, we are mainly having fun. I wish everyone of you a good time."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that.
Fangzheng clearly heard Fang Yunjing heave a sigh of relief.
Clearly, after Fang Yunjing's parents left, her life was not going well. Otherwise, she would not have signed up for such a low-priced tour to relax.
Fangzheng didn't mind. It was his first time traveling with a group. He felt a little excited.
The bus drove for an hour before they finally left the city.
At that moment, Tour Guide Li stood up again. Holding the microphone, she said, "Everyone, I've already told everyone that we're going on a low-priced, one-day tour. We're just a tour group meant to have fun. Therefore, when we arrive at the scenic area, everyone must listen to me. Why do I say that? Because we're all tourists, and all of you are getting off from this tourist bus. The target is too obvious. Everyone knows that no matter where, there's a type of person that can't be avoided—thiefs.
"You don't know them, and they don't know you either, but they know that you are tourists and will steal your stuff. The possibility of you getting it back is low. Furthermore, in their eyes, you are all rich people.
"Perhaps someone might ask me—don't you know them? Wouldn't it be enough if I just point them out?
"I'm sorry, everyone comes here once, while I ply this route every day. Even if I recognize them, I can't call them out in front of everyone. That way, my life will be difficult. Therefore, what I can do is that when I see them approach, I'll shout "everyone get on the bus." At this time, everyone will have to look after their own things and quickly return to the bus to prevent any unnecessary financial losses."
Everyone nodded when they heard that.
Red Boy said, "Master, Tour Guide Li isn't bad."
Fangzheng nodded slightly but did not say a word.
By the side, Fang Yunjing frowned slightly as she mumbled, "Why is it this saying again…"
Fangzheng asked in surprise, "Have you heard of something similar?"
Fang Yunjing nodded and said, "Yes, everyone seems to be saying the same thing. Of course, some tour guides really do it for our own good. However, some tour guides are just trying to scare the visitors. Their goal is to shorten the time for the visitors to have fun. My friend went to Guilin before and said that its security is good. There are not many thieves who will steal things openly. Furthermore, the local government is also very protective of the tourists. If anything happens, they will stand on the tourists' side.
"Moreover, locals don't like to bully others, so there aren't many…"
Red Boy whispered, "So that means Tour Guide Li is bluffing?"
Fang Yunjing nodded and said, "From her accent, she's not a local tour guide."
Fangzheng remained silent as he watched silently. At the same time, he tapped Red Boy's head, indicating that before he figured everything, he shouldn't be in a rush to label others and make a conclusion.
But no matter what, what Tour Guide Li said gave many people on the bus a better impression of her. Their vigilance and wariness were greatly reduced.
Fangzheng heard a couple whisper behind him. "This tour guide is not bad. She's quite honest."
"Yes, it's pretty good."
…
After driving for a while, Tour Guide Li stood up again and said, "Everyone, I've been emphasizing that we are a low-priced tour group. Then, someone will be suspicious. Why can we spend such a low price to have fun? Doesn't the tour guide earn any money? Does the travel agency not earn any money?
"I'll do the math for everyone. The cost of one person on our bus is 50 yuan. When we reach the place, we'll need 200 to 300 yuan for all the entrance fees. This is the fee that everyone has to pay themselves. But it's different for our travel agency. Our company's purchase of tickets is done in bulk. We have an agreement with the tourist attraction, so it's much cheaper. That's why our fees are lower than if you were to travel on your own.
"However, we still have a shop front and so many mouths to feed. I need to eat too. That's why this doesn't make it profitable. In fact, there might even be a loss."


In the rural northeastern mountainous regions stands a tiny Buddhist temple, named One Finger Temple. It isn't a large one but it is extremely miraculous.

The temple has rice that emanates an aromatic fragrance.

The temple has sweet and refreshing water that rivals ambrosia.

The temple has Buddhas that grant wishes to the sincere.

The temple isn't large but it has everything. The temple isn't large but it has flourishing incense offerings that far exceed all temples. The temple isn't large but it attracts both citizens and foreigners that line up overnight…

The temple has a bald but handsome monk. Every day, he would bawl, "I want to renounce asceticism! I want to marry a chick that's not too pretty, have a cute baby, and lead a stable life!"

This book is a casual novel that introduces various Chinese traditional customs, as well as Buddhist ones. It strives to be a positive book, allowing people to reflect on how they should live their lives and treat others.

"This is not good. Not good at all." Alex muttered to himself as he and Alina felt the powerful presence getting nearer at their location. 
"What should we do?" This was the first time that Alex saw Alina being this unsure, and Alex could understand why.
"I think we just have to wing it." Alex replied quickly as he glared at Asteria with the corner of his eyes.

"Boo…" Asteria pouted as she knew what Alex's look meant. "Ok, I will help you, since I will die if you die!" Asteria then flew from Alina's shoulder towards Alex's, somewhat reluctantly.
"Its too late for us to leave now." Alina suddenly said with clenched fists. "Lord Ergo has arrived already."
"I can see that perfectly well too." With his danger sense, Alex felt that the whole building was now extremely dangerous. This was not like this earlier, so Alex knew that this danger came from Lord Ergo himself.
"…" As he realized that he was in dire straits right now, Alex knew that he must do desperate measures if he wanted to survive.

And if Alex had to expose Asteria's existence to Alina, then he will gladly do so.

"Oi Asteria, Alex whispered as he stared at Asteria. "Is it possible for you to show yourself to Alina? I think we will have a better chance of succeeding if she sees you."
"What?" Asteria looked surprised as she stared at Alex warily. "Why do you want to do that?"

"Well…." Alex tried to lower his voice  a little more as he replied,
"Maybe Alina can be our ally you know…"

"Oh, well you do not need to worry about that." Asteria then looked at Alina's direction as she shouted,
"Oi Alina, it seems like Alex wants to officially partner up with you. We can end this farce already."

"Oh really?" To Alex's surprise, Alina actually replied to Asteria! "Now I can talk to you freely without Alex suspecting a thing."


"Wait, what?" Alex's mind was drawing blanks as he saw the entire situation. "How, how could this be happening?"

"Alina could see me since the first time that I appeared in front of her." Asteria said as she plopped on Alina's lap. Alina then proceeded to pat Asteria's head as Asteria continued on talking. 
"When I realized that Alina could see me, I realized that I can make her my secret ally or something like that. Remember when you accused me on peeping when Alina goes to the bathroom? I only go there because that's the only place that we can really talk freely."

"Are you sure about that? Because I can feel that you are sometimes checking me out in the bathroom, especially when I am taking a bath." Alina interjected out of nowhere. "Since I like you as my pet, I tried to not get bothered with it. But it seems like you are not happy getting called out on it."

"Huh. I did not see that coming." That was the only thing that Alex could say before he saw Asteria trembling out of embarrassment and shame.
Seeing the chemistry between the two women, Alex realized that they were telling the truth.
With little time left for them, Alex just accepted what he heard as there is no choice for him right now but to just believe them.
"Wait, why are we talking about this!" Asteria said as she shook her head angrily. "We are here to discuss about a way to save both of your asses! And mind you, Alina has one fine a-"

"I'd rather not listen more to more of your perverted talks." Alex winced, realizing that Asteria actually had something like this on her personality. "So, you said there is a way for you to help us?"

"Yesh, there ish." Asteria mumbled out in reply, as her cheeks were being pinched by Alina, who looked quite unhappy with the small blonde. "However, I am not shure if Alina will agree to thish."

"Why not?" Alina said as she freed Asteria from her cheek pinch. "Is it something that will be dangerous for me?"
"Hell yes, it will be dangerous for you." Asteria said as she rubbed her swollen cheeks. "But I am sure that if you agree, you will have your problems solved."
"…." At this point, Alina suddenly turned solemn as she seemed to be thinking deeply.
After 10 seconds of silence, Alina let out a sigh as she said,
"If I agree to whatever you are planning, will I be able to save my sister?"

"There is a 100% chance that you will save her if you will agree to my request." Asteria replied smugly as she puffed out her chest. "You can see that I am telling the truth, right?"

"… Yes, you are not lying at all." Alina replied, sounding somewhat displeased with Asteria's attitude. "But there is a catch, right?"

"Yes, there is a catch." Asteria replied as she tilted her head. It looked cute, but the words that she said in this pose certainly was not cute.
"Once you agree to my request, you will have a high chance of saving your sister. But once your sister is saved, you will be forced to leave your sister for a very, very, long time.  As for when you can return, it will be only up to luck and your skills."
"Hold on…" From the words that Asteria said, Alex was able to faintly deduce what Asteria was leading on. "Are you telling me that we should turn Alina into a Traveler?"

"Of course not! Do you think I am an idiot?" Asteria seems to be offended by what Alex said as she crossed her arms  in front of her chest. "If we do that, Alina will be forced to leave this place right now, which just beats the purpose of our goal. Besides, you do not even have enough lifespan to do it, so even if you want to turn Alina into a Traveler, it will be pretty impossible for you."

"Then what is your plan?" Alex replied as he crossed his arms too. "Be sure that it will be good!"

"Of course it will be!" Asteria giggled as she sent Alex and Alina one dazzling smile. 
Asteria then floated in the air as she asked Alex a question.
"Alex, let me ask you something. What do you call a person who accompanies another person?"
Alex was not sure where Asteria was going on with this, but he decided to play along with her.
"That person will be called a companion, right?"

"Exactly." Asteria's white teeh glinted as she looked at Alex smugly. "A C	ompanion."

Alex did not miss Asteria's word emphasis, which she made pretty obvious. So, that means…"
"A Traveler cannot just always travel alone." Asteria said, interrupting the words that Alex was about to say. "Sure, a Traveler will have a Guide with him, but the role of the Guide is to guide the traveler. A Traveler will also need someone joining him on his journey. And this someone will be called…"

"A Companion." Alex finished Asteria's words for him, and he was surprised that the word felt somewhat pleasant to his tongue. "So, you are going to turn Alina as my Companion? Care to explain more about that?"

"Gladly." Asteria replied with another smug grin. 
"....."
***************
"Now, it might sound like the Companion is a fairy loose concept, but let me explain it to you quickly."
Alex, Asteria, and Alina all knew that they are under limited time now so Asteria decided to use one of her unique Fairy Magic to impart information to Alex and Alina.
Asteria's magic skills might be lacking in the offensive and defensive aspects, but it is efficient on stealth and information gathering.
"!!!" Both Alex and Alina felt slight throbbing on their heads as they felt information flowing inside their minds.
With both of their brain capacities improved by becoming Espers, both Alina and Alex were able to withstand the flow of new information.

"So that is how it is huh." Alex muttered as he mused on the information given to him. "It is actually really simple."

According to Asteria, a real Traveler cannot just travel alone. A Traveler must have a group with him to travel, and this group will be real Travel Group. 
According to Asteria, a Travel Group will be composed on 3 types of people.
The Traveler, who will serve as the one travelling between worlds and performing missions there.
The Guide, whose goal is to guide the Traveler and purchase items and abilities from the Endless Monarch.
And finally the Companion, whose goal was to join and assist the Traveler personally on the missions.

In terms of the benefits received, the Traveler and the Companion were just the same.

The Companion's body will also be rebuilt to accommodate all types of techniques and abilities.  The Companion can also buy items and abilities from the Endlesss Monarch too.
But that is only here where the similarity lies.
In terms of lifespan, the lifespan of a Companion is safe from the Endless Monarch, as it will not be manipulated or tampered by the Endless Monarch in any means. 

And unlike the Traveler, whose lifespan was used to purchase items and abilities, a Companion uses a different currency for purchase.
This currency is referred to as the Contribution Points.
Contribution Points will only be obtained by the Companion if he/she contributes or helps the Traveler in any way that will be beneficial for the Traveler.

The more that the Companion assists the Traveler, the more Contribution Points the Companion will get. 
This Contributions Points can then be used by the Companion to purchase Items and Abilities, and if needed, extra lifespan too.
When Alex reached this point, he felt somewhat jealous of the companions, as he thought that they had it easy.
But when Alex continued on going through the information given to him, he realized that he was mistaken.

Excluding natural and man-made reasons, there are 2 ways that a Companion can die.
First is by not helping the Traveler at all.
A Companion's goal is to assist and help the Traveler. IF the Companion does not do any of this at the duration of the mission, then this Companion will be instantly killed.
Second is when the Traveler dies.
Once a Companion decides to accompany the Traveler, it will be a lifetime choice. If the Traveler dies, then the Companion will also accompany the Traveler until death.
"Wait, now that I see it, it seems like this Traveler-Companion thingy is only meant for couples." Alex thought to himself as he realized that large amounts of trust must exist between the Traveler and his/her Companion if they want to co-exist harmoniously.
Of course Alex did not say his thought out loud, as it will just make the whole situation more awkward.
After scouring more information, Alex also saw the way to become a Companion.
It was actually just simple.
If a Traveler and a Guide sees someone with a good potential to be a Companion, then they will offer it a chance to become a Companion. If that person disagrees, then the deal will be off. Of course, this person's memory will be wiped away by the Endless Monarch to prevent complications.

"So, what do you two think? Being a Companion is the best choice for Alina now, right?" Asteria said as she looked at the two triumphantly.
"Well…" Both Alina and Alex looked indecisive, as they struggled to say something.
"Oh come on Alex…" Asteria pouted as she saw Alex's hesitation. "If Alina becomes your Companion, you will receive some bonus gifts that you will surely like! The same thing goes to Alina too! If you become Alex's Companion, you will also receive some bonus gifts that you will like!"

'Maybe its just me, but you sound like those people that sell stuff in midnight shows." Alex said as he winced from some of his memories. "You just sound the same as them. Cringy, pushy and relentless. No wonder you became my Guide."
"...…."

After all the things that he had done in his life, Alex realized that it was already his time to die. 

But a sudden encounter with a weird person will turn his whole life around.

The formerly about-to-die teen shall now be a Traveler of different worlds!



"You are an Esper? Then come and taste my saber!"
"You are a Daoist? Then come and taste my fist!"
"You are a Genie? Well, can you grant me infinite wishes?"

Everyone shall witness Alex's rise on his endless journey!
