"I'll take this. I'll give you your phone tomorrow."
An Chen put the Qingxin Grass Leaf back into the wooden box and tightly closed its lid.
For ordinary people, this was definitely a good thing.
Smelling the fragrance of the Qingxin Grass Leaf, no matter what one was doing, work efficiency would surely greatly improve.
For people in anxious moods, this was the best "sedative" for calming the mind and concentrating, and it had none of the side effects of a sedative.
An Chen was sure this thing could sell for a high price.
However, the current problem was how to invent a reasonable "origin" for the Qingxin Grass Leaf; if there was no way to clearly explain what qingxin grass was, it would probably be very difficult to sell.
But An Chen was not very worried.
At least from the current situation, news about Transcendents was flying around the internet, and before long, the Kyushu Continent and the Cultivation World would certainly be made public, and the authorities might not be able to find a suitable reason to suppress it.
The public opinion was fermenting too quickly now; even if the authorities forcibly suppressed the hot searches, it would seem like an attempt to cover up.
By then, a single phrase, "a treasure from the Cultivation World," could explain many things and add a lot of value to the Qingxin Grass Leaf.
"Then... what about now? What do I use now?"
Su Xiaojiu stared wide-eyed at the phone in An Chen's hand.
"Why don't you take this back for now, and I'll pay on delivery tomorrow..."
"I want yours!"
Before An Chen could even finish speaking, Su Xiaojiu sprang up with a pounce.
An Chen immediately stood up, and Su Xiaojiu landed directly on the sofa.
"No snatching things. Is this allowed even in your Kyushu Continent?"
An Chen frowned.
"This isn't snatching. We're already acquaintances, can't I even take a look?"
An Chen stared at Su Xiaojiu with a complex expression for two seconds, finally compromising, and said:
"Come here, let's look together."
After all, this ancestor was the patron; he couldn't afford to anger her, and she also knew spells. If she really got angry, he probably wouldn't end up well.
At the very least, he'd be roasted into a physically "cooked acquaintance."
An Chen sat next to Su Xiaojiu, took out his phone, and first spent a full ten minutes watching a video titled "Smartphone Usage Tutorial" to give Su Xiaojiu a basic understanding of how to use a smartphone.
This was a tutorial for the elderly, essentially a nanny-level instruction, so Su Xiaojiu could understand it quite easily.
Then, An Chen opened a social media app and browsed news from various places.
Many more Transcendents from the Kyushu Continent had made it onto hot searches, and this time, compared to the hot search itself, An Chen focused more on browsing the comment section.
"As everyone knows, videos cannot be Photoshopped."
"Fake, right? Who's been reading too many Cultivation novels again?"
"Which film crew's actors ran out?"
Most people in the comment section were still in a stage where they didn't understand much.
But there were also many "eyewitnesses" speaking out.
"It's not Photoshopped, it's not Photoshopped, it's not Photoshopped! Those superpowered individuals really have abilities similar to those in novels! I saw them fighting with the police with my own eyes!"
"Someone here was cut down by those strange people! The police came and they still attacked the police, shot dead on the spot!"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the whole picture!"
Gradually, more and more people believed the "eyewitnesses," as these people posted a large number of on-site photos and videos.
It was impossible for any internet company to hype things up to this extent, right?
More and more news was proclaiming to the world: this was real, not an advertisement, nor was it made up to fool children.
However, the only thing that puzzled An Chen was the attitude of the authorities.
They did not suppress the hot searches, letting the situation develop. This indicated that they did not intend to hide it, or rather, did not intend to obstruct the current trend of public opinion. But they also did not come forward to clarify or explain any of it...
This was very much worth pondering.
What exactly was the authorities' attitude in this large-scale Transmigration event?
An Chen did not know, but he always firmly believed in his own judgment: that before the authorities stated their position, he must not act rashly.
Especially since he was harboring a Cultivator girl from another world in his home.
After scrolling through his phone for a long time, An Chen turned off the screen, startling Su Xiaojiu, who had been staring intently at the phone screen.
"Why aren't you looking anymore?"
"It's meaningless now. There's not much left online that I want to know, and most of the content I can find isn't very informative."
Actually, An Chen didn't want to explain too much, but when he thought of Su Xiaojiu's nature of constantly asking questions if she didn't know the answer, An Chen felt a headache coming on, so he tried his best to explain things clearly.
"What do you want to know? Ask me!"
An Chen silently glanced at Su Xiaojiu's face, full of pride and confidence, and his eye twitched.
"Then I ask you, do you know the reason why you Transmigrated here? Do you know our world's authorities' attitude towards you Transcendents? Do you know how many people from your Kyushu Continent have Transmigrated here in total? Do you know why you have two eyes and one mouth?"
"This..."
Su Xiaojiu was bewildered by this barrage of questions. Her eyes rolled for a long time, her mouth opened and closed, but she still couldn't figure out the answers to An Chen's questions.
"So why do people have two eyes and one mouth?"
An Chen shook his head helplessly, holding his forehead.
This guy was hopeless.
Was that the main point of the question?
"Then I'll ask you about things you're familiar with. Don't tell me you don't know anything again."
Although Su Xiaojiu knew nothing about these truly important questions, there was still some basic information that could be extracted from her.
For example, basic information about the Kyushu Continent, or the basic system of Cultivation, and so on...
Even understanding what things were relatively precious and valuable in the Kyushu Continent, and what might attract the attention of Earth's wealthy, was very important information.
Under such an anomaly, most people probably hadn't yet figured out the situation. The more effective information he possessed, the greater his advantage over others.
Most of the rich and powerful people in the world today, didn't they all seize opportunities during periods of change to reach their current positions?
An Chen hadn't benefited from the previous reform dividends, nor could he have, as that happened before he was born. The "pigs" that took off on the wind were decades older than him.
But the current change was undoubtedly an opportunity.
An Chen believed that as long as he seized the opportunity, he would also be able to "turn the tables."
At the very least, he had to improve his life.
"Ask away. As long as I know it, I will tell you everything!"
An Chen looked at Su Xiaojiu suspiciously, full of doubts, but still began his questioning.
