After entering the space, Jing Tian stopped the flow of time in the Dragon Ball world, placed the small dinosaur, which was flailing in his arms, on the ground, and ignored it as it cowered in fear due to the unfamiliar environment. Jing Tian left the space again and returned to his home in reality.
He picked up the car keys, went downstairs, and drove straight to a video store. Following the recommendations of the staff, Jing Tian selected some apocalyptic movies that had elements of fantasy and could resonate with him from a large pile of DVDs.
Back at home, he spread out the DVDs, pondering and picking through them.
"Hmm... The Resident Evil series with the strong female protagonist Alice is too appealing, so I'll pass; the technology in the Terminator series is useful, but it's a pity it's too broken, so I'll pass as well..."
After a thorough selection, he finally found a few DVDs that had no redeeming qualities, including "2012," "The Day the Earth Stood Still," "Dawn of the Dead," "I Am Legend," "The Road," "Reign of Fire," "Land of the Dead," and "Skyline."
Holding these DVDs, he put away the others that had some value, and then entered the space. As the DVDs floated in the air and disintegrated, several new worlds, large and small, began to form.
To prevent any hesitation, Jing Tian focused his mind, and all the newly formed worlds rapidly progressed. Soon, only eight orbs of chaos energy remained.
Jing Tian fused one of the orbs of chaos energy into the small dinosaur, which was still cowering on the ground. After feeling the fusion complete, he held the small dinosaur and appeared in the real world with a thought.
Looking at the small dinosaur in his arms with some tension, he waited for a while. Seeing that it was still unharmed, Jing Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief, now confident that he could bring the three women to the real world...
Feeling much better, Jing Tian playfully rubbed the small dinosaur, which let out a series of soft, indignant cries. He then took it back to the Dragon Ball world, where he let it run around happily upon returning to a familiar place, and leisurely returned upstairs...
Looking at the outfits the three women had prepared, Jing Tian felt a bit of a headache... Bulma's black dress was normal, but her boots were too Dragon Ball-specific, and her light green hair was also a problem.
Xiaolongnü's long white dress was fine, but her ancient hairstyle...
Lanqi was a bit better, but her tight-fitting denim shorts...
Jing Tian, feeling both amused and helpless, had no choice but to take the three women out to a beauty salon in the city to get them redone.
He dyed Bulma's hair black and tied it into a ponytail, and replaced her long boots with high heels. Done.
Lanqi changed into jeans and a T-shirt, with a half-zip denim jacket over it. She also switched to regular sneakers. Done.
Xiaolongnü refused to show her feet, so Jing Tian put aside the open-toed sandals and chose a pair of white canvas shoes. As for her hairstyle, a simple black straight look would do...
Finally, after getting the three women's looks sorted out to match the fashion trends of the real world, Jing Tian took them back to the space. Seeing the expectant looks on the three women's faces, Jing Tian didn't waste any time and appeared with them in the bedroom of the real world with a thought.
Coming from the dim space into the bright world, although this happened every time they entered or left the space, the three women still needed a moment to adjust.
Once their eyes adjusted to the light, the three women focused on the room's decor.
Bulma glanced around and noticed that while the household items were more diverse than in her world, the technology was far behind. She then quickly walked to the window, opened it, and looked outside.
Meanwhile, Lanqi was playing with the household items. Bulma's voice came from the window: "Hey, Jing Tian, the pollution here is so severe, I can't even see the distant scenery clearly."
"Also, the absorption of energy is very slow, even more difficult than in my world," Xiaolongnü added.
At this, Lanqi stopped playing with the decor, turned around, and pointed at her chin, saying to Jing Tian, "Yeah, yeah, now that Long-ge mentioned it, I also feel like it's hard to breathe, just like when we first went to the temple."
Jing Tian, hit by the continuous comments from the three women, could only laugh bitterly and say, "There's no way around it. The industrial development here is still in its early stages, and there's no effective pollution control. As for the spiritual energy, it's said to be in an era of decline, so there's very little in the air, making absorption difficult. Also, because there's little spiritual energy, the environmental impact of our cultivation is limited. For example, Goku's Super Kamehameha, which can destroy an entire arena and its surroundings in Bulma's world, can only break a one-meter-square rock here, and the energy consumed can't be replenished."
"Ah, I see, this place is so boring..." Bulma said after hearing Jing Tian's explanation.
"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's not worry about that. I'll take you out for a tour later. The skyscrapers in the city are quite different from those in Bulma's world, where buildings are not very tall. Here, there are many high-rise buildings, and they are designed in various styles, so there's still something to see."
The three women were intrigued and eagerly pulled Jing Tian to go. Jing Tian, helpless, took the car keys and led them downstairs.
Once in the car, Bulma, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the car's interior and said, "It seems your world's technology has developed in a strange direction, all show and no substance, overly focused on luxury."
Jing Tian's forehead turned black, and he silently thought, "It's the Dragon Ball world's technology that's off..." But he didn't say it out loud, just gave a silly laugh and let it go.
Once they were on the main road, the three women were completely captivated by the surroundings, chatting excitedly and asking Jing Tian questions from time to time. Fortunately, Jing Tian had released his divine sense to focus on driving, allowing him to answer their constant questions.
Listening to the three women discuss, "There are no flying cars here, which is so inconvenient"; "The colors of the vehicles here are so vibrant, unlike our world where they are mostly gray and white"; "There are so many people, almost like during a martial arts tournament"; "Wow, that building over there is so tall"...
Jing Tian felt a bit relieved, thinking that at least they weren't constantly criticizing everything, and that Earthlings hadn't let him down...
When they arrived at the commercial street, seeing the three women's eyes light up at the surrounding malls, Jing Tian obediently suggested they go shopping. Seeing their satisfied expressions, he parked the car by the roadside and rolled down the window to ask a passerby where the parking lot was.
Seeing the passerby's straight gaze and stammering directions after noticing the three women, Jing Tian realized he had forgotten something important: the three women, with their stunning beauty, would definitely turn heads and cause unnecessary trouble if they went out like this...
PS: Please give me recommendations, votes for the Three Rivers, and add to your collection.
PS2: I had something to do tonight, so I didn't carefully edit this chapter and just set it to publish on schedule. I wanted to post it tomorrow, but I was afraid readers would say I broke my promise of three updates on Wednesday, so I had to release it now. If there are any issues, I'll fix them later.
