On the abandoned planet, when Gui Mei returned with her bags of supplies, everyone was stunned.

They wouldn’t have been this surprised even if Gui Mei had returned with a whole case of inhibitors.

The main thing was, the tea and steamed buns were still warm.

Did this mean there were other people on this planet? Has their location been exposed?

Seeing the worried and fearful eyes of her companions, Gui Mei suddenly smiled. “Don’t worry. I met the Veridian God.”

At these words, everyone held their breath.

The legend of the Veridian God was known throughout the galaxy; there wasn’t an Omega who didn’t know it. But… wasn’t it fake?

A middle-aged Omega said, “Leader, were you deceived? The Veridian God, how… how could he appear?”

It was just a legend. If there really was a god in the world, where was he when they were imprisoned and tortured? Where was he when they were being used as breeding tools?

Gui Mei smiled faintly and held up the large bottle of tea. “Whether it is or isn’t, you’ll know once you see.”

She poured a cup of tea and tipped it into the mouth of the still-unconscious Xiao Yu.

After only a few dozen seconds, Xiao Yu, who had been unconscious with a high fever, began to show signs of improvement, and he slowly regained consciousness.

Everyone present was shocked.

All Omegas knew that stomach acid would destroy the most useful components in an inhibitor. Therefore, there was absolutely no such thing as an oral inhibitor in the galaxy!

Could it be… that it really was the Veridian God?

That wasn’t all. Gui Mei then poured a cup for each of them and had them drink it.

The leader would never harm them; everyone believed this implicitly. They raised their cups and drank.

The fragrant, sweet tea flowed into their mouths, soothing their throats, with a long-lasting aftertaste—

“What’s going on? I feel so much lighter!”

“The after-effects of my last disorder period never went away, but after drinking the tea, I think I’m cured?”

“M-me too! The spot where I was injured before has been aching faintly, but now it doesn’t hurt anymore!”

The tea from the Clear Rhyme Tea Set only had the effect of recuperating the body; it couldn’t replace medicine for treating illnesses.

But this group of Omegas, displaced and hunted, all had at least some minor ailments. What they needed most was to recuperate their bodies.

The group of Omegas talked excitedly for a long time, then suddenly realized something and all looked at Gui Mei. “So, the Leader really did meet the Veridian God? What does he look like? Will he continue to protect us? Can we go live in his territory?”

Gui Mei smiled and recounted her encounter with Zhao Xing, then said, “I don’t think he will protect us unconditionally anymore. What he wants to see is us working hard to fight for the rights we deserve.”

After she said this, everyone fell silent.

A young Omega who had not yet come of age said worriedly, “Does the Veridian God think we’re too weak? Does he not like us anymore?”

“Of course not!” Before Gui Mei could speak, another Omega answered for her. “He gave us food, and he gave us such precious tea. He’s definitely still protecting us! He just… he just…”

Gui Mei helped her finish, “He just wants us to grow up on our own. Just like children will eventually leave their parents, he hopes we can become strong on our own. So, we can’t just stay in this corner anymore. That will only give the empire’s dogs time to find us and wipe us out in one go. We have to think of a way to escape the empire’s reach and then find an opportunity to strike back!”

This was the plan she had come up with on the way.

“This time, we absolutely will not disappoint the Veridian God!”

The other Omegas felt as if something had awakened within them. The arrival of the Veridian God had planted a seed in their hearts.

Perhaps before, they had only wanted to escape with their lives, and had somehow muddled their way into being hunted by the entire empire. But now, they have a strong desire to change something.

They placed their right hands on their left chests, performing the highest-level salute of allegiance in the entire empire—a salute that no Omega was allowed to perform—and said solemnly, “We will absolutely not disappoint the Veridian God!”

No one knew that these twenty-four still-naive but very determined Omegas would one day overthrow the entire empire, topple the corrupt ABO class system, and establish a new Free Alliance.

And all of this was because they had met their Veridian God.

Zhao Xing, of course, had no idea that his casual words could stir up such a huge storm in another world.

He was currently looking at his rewards.

Gui Mei’s current favorability was 80, which had given him two rewards. Adding the two rewards from before, that was a total of four.

It just went to show that hosting otherworldly guests was the way to go. One visit was a huge harvest!

【Sweet Dreams: Made with mental magic. A permanent, group-wide status effect. After equipping, guests staying at the guesthouse will have an excellent night’s sleep. The moment they lie down, they will fall into a sweet dream.】

【Guidepost: Be Quiet for a Moment: When installed on the road to the guesthouse, it can guide new guests.】

Zhao Xing said, “This guidepost came at the perfect time. There have been more and more guests lately, and they always have to ask for directions when passing through the village. I was afraid of disturbing the villagers. I hope ‘Be Quiet for a Moment’ doesn’t mean what I think it means. It’s quite fitting. I’ll go hang it up in a bit.”

“And this ‘Sweet Dreams.’ I knew there had to be magic worlds among the myriad realms, and mental magic at that… How do I use this?”

“It’s the same as the other items, Host,” the System said. “Just take it out and click ‘Use.’ You’re so lucky, Host! Group-wide status effects like ‘Sweet Dreams’ can all be upgraded!”

Zhao Xing, a little excited, took “Sweet Dreams” out of his inventory.

Normally, the items he took out would land in his hand, or on the ground next to him if they were large. But with “Sweet Dreams,” there was nothing.

He held his hands out in mid-air, feeling like he was holding a fart… Looking closely, this fart even had a faint yellow tinge…

Zhao Xing shook his head and then clicked “Use.”

A gentle breeze blew past.

Zhao Xing clapped his hands, deciding to test it out tonight.

Doing a quick count, he had quite a few items on hand now:

Wallpaper: Ancient Wood Fragrance,

Windows: Scenic Vista,

Threshold: Unwelcome Guests,

Robe: Dragon-Patterned Cloud Shirt,

Delicious Iron Wok, Clear Rhyme Tea Set,

Sign: Winding Wisteria,

Super Kitchen Knife,

Welcoming Flower,

Floor: Refreshing,

Hanging Ornament: Lingering Whisper,

plus the “Sweet Dreams” and the guidepost he had just gotten.

He couldn’t even count them on two hands.

He stroked his chin. “I’ve gotten so many items. Why does the guesthouse still look so run-down?”

The System cleared its throat and said cautiously, “Perhaps… you haven’t obtained the most important guesthouse appearance item yet?”

As the man and the system were talking, a commotion came from outside.

The guests who had been digging for wild vegetables were back.

The group walked in, carrying their baskets, talking and laughing.

Looking at their baskets, they had quite a haul.

The person with the least had half a basket, while the person with the most had a basket that was overflowing!

A smile appeared on Zhao Xing’s face. “A good harvest!”

With that, he took the first guest’s basket, looked down, and saw… a basket full of beggar-ticks…

He took the second guest’s basket… a basket of green bristlegrass…

The third guest was even more outrageous, having dug up a basket of wolfsbane!

He slowly looked up at the guest, a big brother with a simple, honest smile. Is this guy trying to take me down with him? he wondered.

He knew these guests were unreliable. They couldn’t even dig for wild vegetables correctly. Tsk.

The guests, unaware that they were being complained about, were observing the changes in the inn.

“Hey, the floor has been changed! It wasn’t changed when we left!”

“They probably changed it while we were all out, right? But I have to say, this floor is really comfortable to walk on. My feet were so sore from digging for vegetables just now, but after walking a few steps, it really helped! I knew it, the Immortal’s Rest Inn will never disappoint me!”

“Really? I believe you that the floor is comfortable, but relieving fatigue is a bit of a stretch, isn’t it? It’s a floor, not a massage board…”

“If you don’t believe me, try it yourself! How about we make a bet? If you lose, you give me your dinner tonight?”

“Holy crap! This floor really can eliminate fatigue? My legs really aren’t tired anymore, and my arms don’t hurt either? What’s going on?!”

“The usual situation at the Immortal’s Rest Inn, of course! You’ve been staying here for so long, and you still don’t know that our Boss Zhao is a god? Even the walls can cure illnesses. What’s so unbelievable about a floor that can relieve fatigue?”

“Tsk, I’m actually a little not used to the floor not having any holes in it anymore. How am I supposed to sprain my ankle when I get up to drink water at night now?”

The group laughed and joked, having a great time.

Gao Jiajia was about to pour herself a glass of water to quench her thirst when she looked up and noticed something new. “Huh? There’s a new hanging ornament here!”

The ornament was a circular wreath. The stems were a pale, whitish-green, dotted with tiny, light purple flowers. Looking closely, the small flowers seemed to emit a faint glow, giving off a very tranquil feeling.

Everyone gathered around to look. It felt a little different. As they got closer to the wreath, they felt as if their ears were being gently caressed, a bit like the feeling of eardrum pressure changing when a plane takes off, but much more comfortable.

Everyone involuntarily quieted down.

After a moment, someone said, “This is so comfortable. It feels like the sound has gotten quieter in here.”

“Is this some kind of high-tech thing? This guesthouse is too amazing! Where do they get all this stuff? I want to install one in my house. There’s a construction site near my place, and it’s so noisy every day.”

Someone shouted to the back, “Boss Zhao, are this floor and wreath for sale?”

Zhao Xing was used to it by now. “The floor and the wreath are not for sale. The house is not for sale either. If you like it, just stay a few more days.”

The person who asked shrugged, as if to say, See? I knew Boss Zhao wouldn’t sell.

The guests weren’t surprised and continued to chat together. With the presence of the wreath, the volume of their conversations was also suppressed.

Before, the main hall was a bustling hubbub. It was lively, but also quite noisy.

Now, the decibel level was just right—comfortable and full of life.

The guests drank their tea and sighed with emotion again. This was the Immortal’s Rest Inn! The comfort they enjoyed here was beyond anything they could have imagined.

Gao Jiajia held her water cup and leaned back comfortably in her chair.

Next to her was the basket of beggar-ticks she had painstakingly dug up.

She felt that these two days at the guesthouse were the most comfortable two days of her life.

There were no electronic devices, no junk food, but it just felt comfortable and fulfilling. It felt like everything here was a perfect fit.

Remembering what her colleague had said before, she suddenly had an idea. She took out her phone, opened the Qingyang University forum, and posted a thread with her own account.

The faculty accounts on the forum had a special verification, so the moment Gao Jiajia’s post went up, the students discovered it.

In the post, she described her life at the guesthouse over the past two days in detail. Although her intention was just to share, the unique aspects of the guesthouse itself were enough to be captivating.

If nothing else, the mere mention of a little orange kitten that would sneak into your room at night to give you a massage was enough to make these university students drool!

Seeing more and more students asking for the address in the thread, Gao Jiajia gave a mischievous smile and closed the page.

The report about the guesthouse was still circulating in the social circles of the people of Qingyang City. She wasn’t worried that they wouldn’t be able to find the address.

But something you find yourself is always more fragrant than something handed to you for free, right?

Feeling that she had made a contribution to the guesthouse, Gao Jiajia was very happy. She generously took her basket to the kitchen and asked Boss Zhao to cook it and share it with the others.

And then she was stunned to learn that the basket was full of beggar-ticks.

This highly educated intellectual was very surprised. “That’s impossible! Doesn’t this look exactly like a dandelion?”

The big brother next to her also scratched his head. “Yeah, and I thought my basket looked just like a shepherd’s purse. Boss Zhao insisted it was wolfsbane and said this one basket could poison the entire guesthouse…”

The two of them looked at each other and silently went to dispose of the two piles of wild weeds.

In the afternoon, after discussing it with the village chief, Zhao Xing went to the village to install the guidepost.

That night, he planned to test out how well this “Sweet Dreams” worked.

The moment he lay down, he felt the difference. He was usually a pretty good sleeper, but it still took him about ten minutes to feel sleepy.

But today, the moment he lay down, he was overwhelmed by a thick wave of drowsiness.

The bed was the same, but it just felt incredibly suitable for sleeping…

Just as he was about to drift off to dreamland, his phone rang.

The village chief’s voice came from the other end. “Ah Xing, are you asleep? If not, could you come to the village for a bit?”

Zhao Xing was instantly wide awake. “Uncle, what’s wrong?”

The village chief seemed to hesitate. “Well, Ah Xing, that guidepost you installed… it’s gotten into an argument with someone.”

Zhao Xing: ?
