Standing at the entrance of the police station, Gao Zhonghua and Li Chunxiang exchanged puzzled looks.

Li Chunxiang: Are we sending the foreigners inside?

Gao Zhonghua: Could these guys be spies?

"Jiang, where is this place?"

Mr. Todd inquired, and Jiang Cheng truthfully responded, "The police station, it’s the police in Hua Xia."

Todd blinked, then blinked again, and the next second, he grabbed Luke’s sleeve and exaggeratedly acted out: "Luke! You can’t hide your identity as a villain anymore!"

Luke shrugged off Todd’s hand in disgust and looked at Jiang Cheng with a headache, asking, "Is there a mental hospital here? I think Todd needs to take his medication now."

Todd scoffed, defiant: "I don’t need a mental hospital, I can take my medication myself!"

Luke’s mouth twitched as he clapped: "Wow—you’re amazing! You can take your own medication!"

Seeing the two about to argue again, Jiang Cheng intervened just in time.

If she didn’t, the socially anxious George next to them, who preferred quiet, would have his brows knitted tightly.

"Gentlemen, I’m here because in our Hua Xia, when you have things to deal with, you go to the police station. It’s a custom... yes, it’s a custom."

"There’s a saying that goes, ’In times of trouble, seek out the police.’"

Jiang Cheng redirected the attention of the two gentlemen, and under her guidance, the six of them walked into the police station.

Once inside, the staff at the police station were stunned for a moment.

Eight nations—no, a coalition of three nations dare to come here?

One staff member subconsciously touched his lower back, finally a chance to bring glory to his ancestors!!

Perhaps, his genealogy would need a whole new page.

"Hello, I’m the translator for the trade fair, and these are three foreign traders from the fair. They want to see the local features of Sheep City, but I’m really not sure where to find them, so I wanted to inquire."

As soon as Jiang Cheng spoke, it shattered the dream of reopening a page in the genealogy.

Not only was the dream shattered, but he also had to stand up and work.

"Hello, what would you like to ask?"

The staff member stood up and, against the usual practice, offered a smiling service.

The aunt who came to file a report looked at the foreigners, then at the smiling service police.

Why didn’t she get this kind of treatment?

The opposite police officer also sat up straight instinctively, his voice softened a bit as he asked, "Ma’am, what did you say you lost?"

The patriotism of the reporting aunt was raised to a hundred percent, she straightened her back and said, "You heard wrong, I’ve lost nothing. How could we lose things here in Hua Xia!"

"We’re all like fearless night... something... anyway, it’s all good!"

The aunt held her head high, exuding spirit and a new demeanor.

As for filing a report... no problem, she’ll come back after the foreigners leave.

The arrival of the three foreigners elevated the spirit of the entire police station.

Jiang Cheng found a police officer who wasn’t busy and knew the local area well, asked for directions, and for places worth visiting nearby.

Moreover, the police officers enthusiastically dispatched their most handsome personnel to accompany Jiang Cheng and her six companions out of the police station, continuing to guide the way.

Of course, it wasn’t to take them sightseeing, just to lead them to the nearby community office.

Introduced by the police station, the community office placed high importance on them.

With the passionate help of a group of local old-timers, Jiang Cheng, along with Luke and Mr. Todd, experienced the local customs.

They were even warmly invited to lunch.

After the lunch, Jiang Cheng quietly left payment.

In the afternoon, Jiang Cheng continued walking with the group. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

When tired, they opted to take a ride on a human-powered tricycle or a bus, highlighting a sense of improvisation.

The whole process Todd enjoyed the most.

The main purpose of coming out to see was also for Todd, as he had a new design to create.

This trip to Hua Xia was to seek inspiration.

And just like that, a day went by.

After seeing Todd and Mr. Luke back to the Foreign Affairs Hotel, and agreeing on a time to meet the next day, Jiang Cheng, along with Gao Zhonghua, returned to the courtyard.

Back home, Jiang Cheng busied herself with organizing the next day’s itinerary, Li Chunxiang cooked, and Gao Zhonghua helped.

George continued to zone out.

After an hour or so, Li Chunxiang called them for dinner, and the four gathered around.

George had his own meal, though he wasn’t very talkative, he enjoyed sitting together with Jiang Cheng and the others.

"Jiang Cheng, have some chicken soup and a drumstick, you need to nourish yourself, don’t go hungry and thin!"

Li Chunxiang placed the drumstick and chicken soup next to Jiang Cheng.

"Okay, one drumstick is enough for me, and I prefer chicken wings, so you all can eat more of the rest."

Li Chunxiang replied, "Alright, the wings are all here, eat up."

Jiang Cheng nodded, and they began to eat.

While eating, Jiang Cheng asked Gao Zhonghua if he’d visited his comrade.

Gao Zhonghua put down his bowl, "Not yet, I’ll go after the trade fair is over."

"Alright then."

Jiang Cheng didn’t press further and kept eating.

After dinner, Jiang Cheng went for a walk around the area, trying to gather more information.

Upon returning, she synthesized Mr. Todd’s descriptions into her mind and developed the most reasonable route.

Todd, a renowned designer, is the close friend of hotel magnate Luke.

His most successful work is a hotel on an island.

If guessed correctly, the owner of the island hotel is Luke.

And the most featured design element and materials used by Todd for the island hotel, Hua Xia happens to have them all.

After a night of contemplation, Jiang Cheng made several pre-plans, attempting to inspire Todd in Hua Xia instead of finding inspiration documented in books from country R.

The night passed, Jiang Cheng got up early to wait outside the Foreign Affairs Hotel.

Luke and Todd were punctual.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward to greet them, then invited the two to enjoy the local characteristic breakfast.

The day before, Jiang Cheng told them in advance not to have breakfast.

Jiang Cheng took them to a nearby state-run tea house.

She inquired carefully about their taste preferences, then ordered accordingly.

Soon, the server came over with several platters, setting them on the table.

"What beautiful plates."

Todd lowered his head, examining the plates carefully.

After looking for a while, he jotted something down in his notebook.

The three began to eat, and the taste was unanimously liked by Todd and Luke.

After breakfast, Jiang Cheng continued walking according to the planned route.

Todd saw artistically designed folk walls and pathways paved with broken tiles.

Along the way, Todd, who usually talked the most, became increasingly quiet.

Luke tacitly made a quiet gesture to Jiang Cheng, and she slightly nodded.

Approaching noon, just as the group was about to have lunch, Todd suddenly shouted: I got it!!

"I got it!"

After shouting, Todd forgot everything else and sat on the ground, pulling out a pen and notebook, scribbling away.

Jiang Cheng and Luke stood on Todd’s left and right, both lowering their heads to look.

Luke: What on earth is this drawing? I can’t make heads or tails of it.

Jiang Cheng: Has the inspiration successfully triggered? But... what on earth is this drawing?
