Why didn't anyone tell me this is a parallel world?

The lady at the reception desk breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xia Liuying's smile, and her smile became more sincere. "Here is the room card. Take elevator No. 1 to floor -3. The room marked with No. 316 is your rest room. I wish you a pleasant rest."

"There is a restaurant on the second underground floor where you can dine. The buffet restaurant is open at set times every day. Please pay attention to the dining times. There is a paid room delivery service. You can call if you need it."

After explaining everything, the lady at the service desk watched Xia Liuying leave.

After Xia Liuying disappeared, the other staff members behind her came over to gossip. It was already the later stage of the desert hiking activity, and there were only a few delays due to various things. The psychics who came in sporadically, and it took half a day to receive one person, so their work was not busy.

"Is he really underage? I thought he was another elf-type psychic."

"The elf type will look younger. Although this girl is pretty, she is obviously not an elf type."

"Shouldn't it be height? I haven't seen an elf-type that's over 1.7 meters tall."

"Shhhhh, don't say this directly. People don't like to hear it. If someone hears it, you will be complained and your salary will be deducted."

"She looks familiar to me, where have I seen her before?"

"It's possible. Those with special abilities who can come to participate in this event are not ordinary people. She is so young and still in school. She should be somewhat famous."

"Go to school... Wait for me to search. I found him. He's a student at Sungkyunkwan High School. Wow, he's also the first-year champion of the National Psychic Competition!"

"Let me see, let me see, hey, I've seen her videos, she's such an amazing girl, I didn't expect to see her here, I didn't recognize her just now, there's such a big difference between the competition and reality."

"Yeah, she looks very powerful and domineering in the competition video, but in reality she seems to be just an ordinary pretty little girl."

"It's not ordinary. Ordinary little girls wouldn't dare to participate in the desert hike. This is a one-month event. This year's route is the closest to the middle of the desert. I heard the leaders arguing a few days ago, saying that this route is too risky. I don't know how many people can successfully walk it."

"I heard that someone saw smuggling in the desert before. I don't know if it's true or not. Who is smuggling through the desert?"

"Who can guess what the smugglers are thinking? Maybe they think that it's hard to be discovered in the desert where there are fewer people."

"Someone is coming, come to work..."

……

Xia Liuying was unaware of the discussion behind her. She went down in elevator No. 1 and it stopped on the third floor below ground. After a few steps she saw her room, swiped her card and went in. The space inside was not small.

It is larger than the average hotel room, with a private bathroom, separate bedroom and a small living room.

There was no rush to eat. The first thing Xia Liuying did was to open the backpack that Teacher Chu Jue had prepared for her and check the items inside.

A simple folding tent, said to be for one person, but it can accommodate two people when unfolded. It’s just that it has no weight and will fly away when the wind blows.

The quality is very good. The special material used looks thin, only a few layers of paper thick, but in fact it has a very strong heat insulation effect. It will not melt at the highest temperature of 80c, and will not freeze at the lowest temperature of -40c.

...but the people inside it may not be able to tolerate it. Just because this thing is of good quality doesn't mean it can be tolerated at this temperature.

The temperature of summer fireflies is estimated to be no higher than 40 degrees Celsius during the day. If it is higher, people cannot stay inside. If it is colder than -20 degrees Celsius, people will still freeze to death inside.

Well, I'm talking about ordinary people.

There are matching blankets, quilts and sleeping bags, all of which are very small, not the common bloated type, which made Xia Liuying feel very insecure.

It was hard to believe that a blanket that was only the size of a palm when folded could have any warmth-keeping effect. However, Xia Liuying knew that she was overthinking it. These products made of new materials must have gone through social tests before they appeared in her hands.

A set of folding tableware, when folded together, is the size of an iron lunch box. When unfolded, it contains all the pots, pans, and utensils you need. They are all made of new technology materials, thin but sturdy and easy to use.

There are ten bags of compressed biscuits, each of which is in a palm-sized package. There are twelve biscuits in each bag. It is said that one biscuit can meet the daily energy consumption of an average person, but for Xia Liuying, one bag may not be enough.

Fortunately, there are other foods, such as compressed dried vegetables and other food materials that need to be processed but can be stored for a long time. Teacher Chu Jue did not think of letting Xia Liuying live on compressed biscuits.

He also prepared a stack of water-collecting paper for Xia Liuying, about a hundred sheets, which looked to be about the same thickness as a notebook and was also a high-tech product.

It is said that it was made using the supernatural products of a water-based supernatural being. Such a small piece of paper, when exposed to the sun, can produce a liter of water.

No wonder I didn’t see him put any water in his backpack. It would be more useful with water-collecting paper.

In addition, there are some tools that may be useful and an insulated box of plant seeds.

Xia Liuying couldn't identify what kind of plant the seeds were. They were only one-fifth the size of a grain of rice. There was a card attached to them saying that just sow ten seeds each time.

You can spread it directly on the road surface or bury it in a hole, but it is best not to bury it too deep, otherwise it will not be easy to germinate and grow.

If you have enough time, soak the seeds in water as much as possible before sowing them. You can also water them appropriately after sowing them. About one cup of water will be enough each time, no more.

When Xia Liuying saw this, she suddenly realized why Teacher Chu Jue had brought her so many water-collecting papers. It turned out that they were used to water the plant seeds.

Even though there is only a small insulated box for these seeds, the seeds are small in size, so a dozen of them need to be watered with a cup of water. If conditions permit, they should be soaked in water in advance. Otherwise, so much water may not be enough.

After reorganizing her things and putting them into her backpack, Xia Liuying thought for a while and decided to buy a larger water bottle, fill it with water and carry it on her back. Water-collecting paper is useful, but the water may not taste good.

Then she had to buy two sets of change of clothes. She was taken away from the Student Union Office by Teacher Chu Jue and had no time to take her own clothes with her. On the way, Teacher Chu Jue gave Xia Liuying a set of supernatural combat clothes to change into so that she would not appear here in school uniform.

It's just that she has a supernatural combat suit, and she can't go a month without changing clothes. Xia Liuying plans to go to the ground floor later to see what they sell there. A wide variety of things are available there.

But the most urgent thing is to go to the underground second floor to have a meal and fill the stomach that has been hungry for a day and a night.

The little food we bought on the road is not enough to eat.
