Yun Zhen stayed up until five in the morning, making sure all the natural disasters had completely subsided. The land was no longer trembling with aftershocks, and the battered Mount Yulong still stood tall in silence. The water level at the foot of the mountain had risen significantly, but the waves had calmed down.

The sky cleared as the clouds dispersed, and the soft morning light began to pave the way for the upcoming sunrise.

Yun Zhen opened a bag of shredded pork buns and a chocolate cake, slicing them into thumb-sized pieces with a small knife, and placed them on a saucer specifically for the Lilliputians. She also poured three bottle caps of milk and handed them into the bookshelf as their breakfast.

The Pei family decided, after some discussion, to relocate everyone onto the yacht. They moved their belongings ahead of time, planning to stay on the boat for the next few days to observe the situation.

Yun Zhen placed the yacht back in the water and temporarily removed the villa from the bookshelf. Mount Yulong was in ruins, with no suitable place to set the house. Besides, with the unpredictability of aftershocks, living on the water was actually safer for the Lilliputians than staying on the mountain.

Seeing that everything was in order within the small world, Yun Zhen went back to bed. If anything happened, the system would wake her up, so she didn’t have to worry about the Lilliputians being in danger without her knowing.

She slept until 11 a.m., but her sleep was restless. Her dreams were chaotic and strange, and she even kicked her legs awake at one point.

When Yun Zhen finally got up, she felt weak and sluggish, moving slowly as she dragged herself through her morning routine. After being nagged by her mother to wash up and eat, she brought lunch to the study to give to the Lilliputians.

Stretching lazily in front of the bookshelf, the system screen suddenly popped up with several notifications:

[Congratulations! You’ve gained +5 correction value!]

[Congratulations! You have earned an opportunity to unlock a route map!]

[Please choose your target for binding the journey:]

[A. Pei Hao; B. Pei Yan]

Yun Zhen was surprised by how many correction value she had received from this rescue.

Up until now, she had saved at least 30 people, but only the Pei family had given her correction value.

Of course, the Pei family were also the only ones with whom she had established a good relationship. The other people she rescued had mistaken her for someone dropping supplies from a helicopter. Whenever she tried to talk to them, they ran off immediately, never even considering that she might be a deity or an alien.

Yun Zhen didn’t mind, but she was confused about how the system determined these contribution values.

There was also the issue of the points that were still undisclosed, and she wondered when she would finally be able to view them.

Unlocking the route map… What does that mean?

Yun Zhen clicked on the small exclamation mark next to it, and the system screen immediately displayed an explanation:

[Dear Lilliputians are about to embark on a journey filled with dangers and uncertainties. How can you protect them?]

[You can use points to exchange for (or randomly receive) the opportunity to unlock a route map. By binding to the journey’s target, you can follow them to unknown lands!]

[Note: The route map will move with the bound target, unlocking an area roughly the size of a town. Other areas will still require correction value to unlock!]

Hmm… The system’s explanation is lively, but it’s a bit cold and unfeeling towards me, the host.

Still, I understand now—this means I can follow the Pei family’s fleet back to Beidu.

The map will unlock as they travel, centered around the bound target. The area unlocked will be the size of a town, and I’ll only be able to see within that range.

Excellent, I won’t have to stay trapped in Huacheng waiting anymore.

Feeling rejuvenated despite her fatigue, Yun Zhen quickly chose to bind Pei Hao as the target and then shared the good news with the Lilliputians inside the bookshelf.

On the yacht, the Pei family was still recovering from the shock and relief of having survived the disaster. But as they talked about leaving in a few days, their anxiety began to resurface.

In the past, it would take less than two hours to fly from Huacheng to Beidu.

But now, it had taken them ten days to sail from Baidu to Huacheng.

The seas were incredibly dangerous now, and just looking at that number gave a hint of how perilous the journey would be.

If they encountered a city-level super tsunami, they might not survive the trip to Beidu.

As the Pei family was worrying about this, they suddenly heard the goddess speak.

She said she could escort them all the way back home—what could be better news than that?

“Great! Long live the goddess!”

“I’m so happy! I can go home safely without worrying about my parents burying their child.”

“I’m not scared of the super tsunami anymore. Worst case, we’ll just fly over it!”

The people on the yacht cheered and gave thanks, their previously gloomy mood transforming into one of excitement.

Pei Hao was the happiest of all: “The goddess can leave with us! I can even bring my new house! This is amazing! Brother, our guardian deity is truly powerful!”

Pei Yan laughed and patted his brother on the shoulder. “Feeling relieved now? You won’t have to keep fretting about leaving the villa or the goddess.”

Pei Hao blushed a little at his brother’s teasing. “Isn’t that just normal?”

Pei Yan, in a good mood, nodded. “You’re right. So, I’m leaving the task of inventorying the supplies to you.”

With that, he turned and walked briskly toward the living room to discuss the next steps with Ou Shengjie and the others.

Since they had divine protection, they could afford to modify their return plan.

With the outside world so perilous, it was best to return home as soon as possible.

Pei Hao stood there, stomping his feet and calling after his brother’s retreating figure, “What does that have to do with anything? Just say you want me to do the work.”

Yun Zhen watched them with a smile, then asked about the condition of the two injured men:

“How are Xu Da and Zhang Yong? Can they recover?”

Pei Hao quickly composed himself and replied, “Their lives are saved, but they won’t be able to handle high-intensity tasks anymore. When we return, we’ll see if they want to switch to a desk job or retire. Both of them were injured for the Pei family’s sake, so they’ll definitely be well compensated, and we’ll do our best to take care of them.”

Yun Zhen nodded, impressed by the Pei family’s generosity.

Recalling that Pei Yan mentioned inventorying supplies, she quickly opened the map to locate the small yacht.

The yacht had been carried quite far by the waves and was now stranded beside a large, exposed ruin.

The hull was severely damaged, with several large holes pierced by the twisted steel bars from the ruins. It seemed to have been hit during its drift, with several noticeable dents.

This yacht is beyond saving.

Yun Zhen sighed and began searching the ship for any undamaged supplies.

After a while, she realized that all the packaging was ruined—not a single bag had survived.

Some of the dehydrated vegetables had even soaked in the water, attracting passing fish to feast on them.

Oh well, let the fish have it. It wasn’t much, anyway.

Yun Zhen turned back and reported the yacht’s condition to Pei Hao.

Pei Hao was disappointed, both by the loss of supplies and by the yacht’s destruction.

He went into the living room to speak with his brother, then came out again, happily telling Yun Zhen in the sky:

“Goddess, my brother says the Pei family has a few more yachts in coastal cities, each as large as the Aurora. We can stop by and check them out on our way back. If they’re still usable, we can bring them along and gather more supplies along the way!”

The Aurora was the yacht they were currently on, which was said to be 56 meters long.

If they could get a few more yachts of similar size, they’d be able to carry enough supplies for the entire company.
