The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

"The available area is a bit small." Alice frowned. "Can the total area of ​​the world be expanded?"

"There is a way, but the price is a bit high." Luo Shu glanced at his World Origin Points balance, which was only a little over 180,000. "Why? Could it be that your shipment volume is huge?"

"Have you forgotten that I am, after all, a princess of a country? Although the total area of ​​my country is probably only the size of Fuso's Honshu Island, can you eat all the goods of such a large country?"

"That's true." Luo Shu was stunned for a moment, then frowned. "There are so many things to think about. Let me take you back to school first. You can bring your sister back here later. Liuli, Reina, and Xuecai, you too, go home first and then teleport here directly. I'll prepare dinner, and then we'll discuss setting up a cross-border logistics and trading company tonight."

"Can my sister come too?" Alice was stunned. "Are you sure?"

"Of course." Luo Shu shrugged. "After all, you'll have to discuss this with Isis when you return. It would be unnecessary to separate you two."

"Thank you for your trust." Upon hearing this, Alice immediately realized that Luo Shu's possessiveness exceeded her expectations, although she had long heard from some of her fellow tribesmen rescued from the continent where the Seven Shield Alliance was located that humans are a race with very strong desires.

If the level of development of human civilization in the Seven Shields Alliance was not so much lower than that of the newly discovered world, the Elder Council of the Ymir Light Elf Kingdom would have felt very disgusted with borrowing seeds from the humans of their own world.

This is also why the Asian Aid Project chose the New World, the Fuso government in the derivative world.

Luo Shu naturally had no idea how deep Alice's thoughts were.

"Let's go." Luo Shu said, and took the four girls back to Class B of Chengshen Academy.

Isis looked at the complicated magic circle that appeared out of nowhere for Class B and felt relieved.

"I'm sorry, Isis. I shouldn't have taken Alice away so suddenly." Luo Shu noticed Isis looking at him questioningly and apologized quickly. "As for the details, Alice, please go back and explain them to Isis. By the way, please keep our cooperation confidential for now. Otherwise, if Nomad finds out, I think it will make things very troublesome."

As Luo Shu spoke, he bound a teleportation anchor to Isis.

"Alice, I've given your sister permission and will send you a letter around eight tonight."

"I understand." Alice nodded and looked at her sister. "Isis, I'll explain it to you when we get back. As for Ursula, can I explain it to her, Luo Shu?"

"If we win over a demigod-level expert, it will only do harm to our future plans."

Luo Shu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "What do you think?"

"Indeed." Alice immediately understood Luo Shu's plan upon hearing this. "Urusla is, after all, the future leader of the Red Dragon Clan. Building a good relationship with her will be of great benefit to our future plans."

"That's it for now." Luo Shu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Alice agree with his proposal. He then looked at Kurumizaka Ruri and the other three girls and said, "Let's go. It's time for us to go back together."

"Yeah." Kurumizaka Ruri and the other three girls looked at Alice and Isis, saluted politely, and then accompanied him out of Class B.

After Luo Shu sent the three girls to Qianying Apartment, he temporarily parted ways with them.

Chapter 43: Isis's Bow and Sword

Luo Shu saw the three girls off, agreed with them to go to the Sky Island World at 8 o'clock, and then went straight back to Qianying Apartment.

He thought that he might have to go to the Sky Island World to prepare dinner tonight, so he took out the World Tree Terminal and asked the three women in the group chat.

"Do you store any food there?"

"No, do I need to bring the ingredients for dinner?"

The fastest responder was Setsuna Sasaki, "Then I'll go buy it now."

"Buy something you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."

Luo Shu typed back, "Dinner is over there. After you buy your food, go over and wait for me."

"Okay, Setsuna and I will go buy it together. Liuli, I'll leave the drinks and other things to you."

This is the statement from Reina Hamasaki.

"No problem." Kurumizaka Ruri typed back with a smile, "Do you want to prepare some wine? Shu-kun, are the princess and her sister coming to dine with us?"

"I forgot to ask that. I only told her the meeting time."

Luo Shu really forgot whether he asked Alice if she wanted to go to the Sky Island World for dinner together.

"Shu-kun, it's better to ask." Kurumizaka Ruri, a genius who had been involved in the business world for a long time, was very familiar with socializing with the so-called upper class. "After all, she is a princess of a country."

"Liuli, could it be that you have investigated Alice?"

"Of course. She's a princess from a kingdom in another world. It's said to be a feudal society there, and Alice has mastered magic. Such a person would be a guest of honor among many wealthy tycoons in Fuso's upper class society. It's a pity that Alice has been quite dismissive of all the invitations from these wealthy tycoons."

"Did the chaebol invite Alice?" Luo Shu was stunned when he heard this. He had just forgotten that in the outer world of the inner derivative world, there were chaebols in the country of Fusang. He had actually forgotten to consider these threats. "That was my oversight. I'll ask Alice if she wants to have dinner there together."

Kurumizaka Ruri pondered for a moment before offering her own advice, "Shu-kun, I've already notified my family to gather information about the chaebol."

"Then please, if we establish a cross-border logistics and trading company in the future, we may have to deal with the chaebols in Fuso, and conflicts are inevitable. Especially since we may not build the transit station and warehouse in Fuso, but we will still need to target the Fuso market when shipping goods."

"Shu-kun, my family's company can provide some storage and logistics warehouse space for shipments." Kurumizaka Ruri naturally didn't forget to support her family. "We just need to disguise the convoy. After all, the existence of that place still needs to be kept secret."

"That's indeed a problem." Luo Shu pondered for a moment. He remembered that when he was in the Demonic World and established Yggdrasil, he had used the power of the Yotsuba family and used the name of building an artificial island to cover up the existence of the Sky Island World. The construction of the Edge Blockade Zone was also started at that time to prevent the true nature of the Edge from being discovered. "Liuli, does your family have the qualifications to purchase overseas islands?"

"Buying an island would require a considerable amount of money," Kurumizaka Ruri pondered for a moment. "My family does lease several islands, but the ownership isn't ours."

"Is it impossible to trade property rights?" Luo Shu was a little puzzled. "Or is it too expensive?"

"Fuso people can naturally trade in these types of fixed assets, but for people outside of Fuso, there are certain restrictions on the island's land area, and the property rights cannot be held permanently."

Kurumizaka Ruri briefly explained, "As Shu-kun knows, Fuso is a country with a very limited territory, so the buying and selling of islands has always been regulated. Some larger islands are often openly prohibited from trading."

"On the surface, I understand." Luo Shu looked at Kurumizaka Liuli's speech and thought for a moment. "I don't understand the details, so I'll leave it to you, Liuli. As for the funding issue, don't worry."

"If Mr. Shu can solve the funding problem, leave the island property rights transaction to me."

Kurumizaka Ruri did not ask Luo Shu how to solve the funding problem, but directly chose to believe that Luo Shu had the ability to do so.

"Okay, let's discuss the specific details in person when we get there tonight."

Luo Shu typed back, "I'll go say hello to Alice first."

When Kurumizaka Ruri saw Luo Shu's reply, she didn't continue typing. Instead, she turned to look at her two best friends sitting in the back seat, "Yukina, Reina, what do you think?"

"What do you mean?" Sasaki Setsuna was stunned. "Ruri, I don't quite understand what you're trying to say."

"A formidable rival has appeared," said Reina Hamasaki, perceptively. "Setsuna, Ruri wants to ask you what you think about Princess Alice."

"She's very pretty and cute." Sasaki Setsuna thought for a moment, "She's very elegant. Should I say she's worthy of being a princess?"

"Setsuna, you didn't notice... No, it's nothing." Kurumizaka Ruri was about to tell Sasaki Setsuna that the elf princess gave her the impression of being an extremely experienced politician, but when she thought of Setsuna's typical love-brained personality, she gave up in the end. "Your opinion is very valuable for reference."

"Liuli, Princess Alice is only one person, after all." Sasaki Setsuna tilted her head, "But there are three of us on our side."

"Yukina, have you forgotten what Shu-kun just said, that she has a sister?" Kurumizaka Ruri sighed, "Or rather, have you forgotten the elf who stopped us from entering Class B?"

"I remember that girl called Isis." Reina Hamasaki looked at Sasaki Setsuna who seemed to have not yet reacted, and she quickly reminded her, "Setsuna, Shu-kun has already invited Alice and her sister to the dinner tonight."

"That Isis is Alice's sister?" Sasaki Setsuna thought about it for a moment, then her eyes widened. "But, the height difference is too big."

"Isis is a swordsman," Kurumizaka Ruri thought for a moment. "A very formidable swordsman, too. I heard this from Miyajima-senpai. As one of the representatives of Seishin Academy's many clubs, she once invited Isis to visit the Kendo Club and spar with her."

"Did we win?" Sasaki Setsuna asked subconsciously, "I heard that Miyajima-senpai's swordsmanship should be very powerful, and that Isis should..."

"She lost," Kurumizaka Ruri answered bluntly. "Miyajima-senpai said she couldn't break her opponent's sword moves at all. Or rather, she believes that humans probably wouldn't be able to challenge her with swordsmanship alone."

"So powerful?" Hamasaki Reina was a little surprised when she heard this. "Is it because of magic?"

"No, it's simply due to the difference in physical fitness." Kurumizaka Ruri thought for a moment. "Besides, Isis isn't just skilled with the sword; her archery skills are also incredibly accurate. I heard the talented sisters from the Kyudo Club even sought instruction from her personally."

Chapter 44: Differences in the Development Concepts of the Two Civilizations

"Who are the talented sisters in the Kyudo Club?" After Sasaki Setsuna was injured, she quit the basketball club in junior high and didn't participate in many sports clubs afterwards, so she didn't know much about the sports clubs at Seishin Academy. "Reina, do you know anything about them?"

"The Sakuramiya sisters, huh?" Hamasaki Reina thought for a moment. "I heard they're the women's representatives for the National High School Kyudo Tournament this year."

"The one from the National High School League?" Sasaki Setsuna had heard of the high school league. She thought for a moment, "Their archery skills are indeed quite impressive."

"I originally thought that the elves' proficiency in swordsmanship and archery was just a setting in fantasy works, but after hearing what Miyajima-san recounted, I feel that it's no longer a question of proficiency or not, it's more like an innate talent."

Kurumizaka Ruri considered her words carefully. "I heard from Senior Miyajima that Isis mentioned that in the Elf Kingdom of Ymir, there are elven archery masters who can hit targets over three kilometers away using only their naked eyes."

"That's too outrageous." Hamasaki Reina heard this, a little bit hard to believe, "Are you sure that it wasn't a sniper rifle, but a bow and arrow that could do it?"

"Isis emphasized to Miyajima-senpai that the three-kilometer range is only possible with the combined power of the elven enchanted longbow and specially crafted elven arrows. Furthermore, elven archery masters are few and far between. Isis said it would likely take several hundred years for her to earn the title."

"Hundreds of years?" Sasaki Setsuna was stunned for a moment. "Could it be possible that Isis can live for hundreds of years?"

"It should be possible." Kurumizaka Ruri sighed, "After all, elves are an immortal race, and magic exists in the other world they live in."

"I'm so envious." Sasaki Setsuna looked up at the roof of the car. "Living for hundreds of years or something like that? I can't even imagine it."

……

On the other side, Isis had just escorted her sister Alice back to the diplomatic embassy and sneezed as soon as she entered the door.

"Isis?"

"It's okay, maybe something is talking about me behind my back."

Isis sighed, "Alice, the invitations from those Fusang chaebols haven't decreased at all recently. On the contrary, they've become more and more numerous. We still have to find a way to deal with the troubles in the social circle."

"Let's organize a banquet later." Alice also understood that sooner or later she would need to deal with people from all walks of life in Fuso. She thought about it for a moment and was about to say something else when she heard her cell phone ringing.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a call."

Isis watched Alice subconsciously open the soundproof barrier, and immediately walked to her sister's side and began to be on guard.

"Alice, you're home. Uh, that's a little strange to say. I mean, are you back at the diplomatic mission now?"

"Just arrived, Luo Shu, no, A Shu, what can I do for you?"

"Aren't we going to discuss setting up a company tonight? I'd like to ask if you and your sister plan to go there after dinner, or wait until we get there to eat with us?"

"Can I bring my sister with me?" Alice thought for a moment. "If not, I can only accompany my sister to finish dinner before going over."

"Of course, no problem. I'd rather say, I welcome you." Luo Shu thought for a moment, "By the way, if you want to go there, just tell your sister and silently recite the Sky Island Teleport in your mind."

"Word Spirit?" Alice was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Or is it a spell?"

"Well, how should I put it? I set the keyword myself. Of course, this keyword needs to meet certain conditions to be triggered."

"I understand. I'll tell my sister."

"Uh, and also, do you elves have any dietary restrictions, such as not eating meat?"

"Can't eat meat?" Alice was stunned for a moment, then a little surprised, "Ashu, who told you that?"

"Isn't that true?"

"Ashu, we Ymir elves also eat meat. The elves you mentioned who don't eat meat, let me think about it, they seem to be the wood elves. But wood elves also eat meat occasionally. It seems that there are no elves that don't eat meat at all."

"So there are no dietary restrictions?"

"Yes, I do. I don't like eating raw or cold food, especially sashimi." Alice thought of a previous trip to a Japanese restaurant with her sister. As an elf magician with excellent magical sensing abilities, she felt nauseous when she saw sashimi. "In the Kingdom of Ymir, there's a custom that prohibits eating raw fish."

"Is there such a custom?" Luo Shu hadn't expected that the Ymir Light Elves had such an exotic custom. "I see. I don't like sashimi either. I'll tell Liuli and the others right away."

"Excuse me."

"It's okay, it's okay, but can you tell me why you prohibit eating raw fish?"

"According to the elders of the tribe, eating too much raw fish seems to make people sick. Although this can be overcome with healing magic, for safety's sake, we ultimately established this lifestyle custom."

"That's probably because of the parasites in fish." Luo Shu thought for a moment. "Alice, when you have time, you can read the medical books of this world. Although the viruses in this world have little impact on you, some diseases in this world may be quite well-known to humans in your world. The same is true for plant pathogens. You'd better learn about them as well."

"Is that so? I'll send someone to look into this later." Alice's tone suddenly became serious upon hearing this. "I was negligent. Thank you, Mr. Shu, for reminding me."

"You're welcome. After all, if we want to establish a cross-border logistics and trading company in the future and exchange materials, if the disinfection procedures are not done well, the impact on the ecosystems of both worlds cannot be ignored."

"Ecosystem, I've been learning about the natural sciences of this world lately. But, Mr. Shu, is it really possible to transport supplies through the space-time channel?"

"That should be no problem. Have you ever thought about bringing anything into this world?"

“Yes, there are, but the amount is very small.”

Alice thought for a moment. "After all, the transportation in our world is still at the, uh, medieval level. Most of them are horse-drawn carriages powered by animals like oxen and horses."

"Your world has magic and magic items, but have you ever thought about improving your living standards?"

"Perhaps it's due to different philosophies." Alice pondered for a moment. "The Ymir Light Elves believe in living in harmony with nature, so they practice moderation in the exploitation of natural resources."

Chapter 45: Summoning Yotsuba Miyuki

"Temperance?"

Luo Shu's eyes flashed with thought when he heard this. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I see."

"Ashu, actually, I've been thinking about whether I can import automobile-related industrial production equipment from this world."

Alice thought for a moment and remembered the car she was riding in. "It's just that I'm a little worried about environmental pollution."
