Chapter 83 Meet Again
Fortunately, nightmares are not a series, and there is no separation between episodes - Hao Ren just appeared in the same place he was when he last left the dream plane, but the wolf pack that attacked him was no longer there, and the unlucky kid just walked out without any drama. The novice village was reincarnated into the birthplace by a bunch of wild monsters.
But bursts of howling wolves still came from all directions. Although it didn't sound nearby, it was enough to frighten Hao Ren, a guy who hadn't seen enough of the world. He deeply understood that this was a lawless zone, and the animal protection organization He and the ranger were in another world, where neither the wolf nor he had any protection, and frankly speaking - this was the wolf's territory, and he was an outsider.
As the only outsider on the grassland inhabited by wolves, Hao Ren tightened his tight clothes to resist the cold feeling that filled his body and heart at the same time. He walked forward, wondering as he walked whether his mind had deteriorated from spending too much time with Lily: Why did he have to put on his pajamas when he went back to the house to sleep? !
According to the experience of the last time he entered the dream plane, a person's physical condition in the dream plane is completely consistent with that in the outside world, including the clothes he wears and his physical fitness, but Hao Ren was stunned to give this to him. Forgot, he, Vivian and Yzaks messed around with a lot of preparations in the living room, and the end result was that he almost had insomnia and couldn't get in, and he was still wearing pajamas!
Walking on the prairie with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Hao Ren looked down at his feet and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Damn it, and I haven't put on shoes yet... If the crazy woman knew about this, she might be able to point it out. You have to be complained about."
A voice suddenly sounded from the side: "She will laugh at you, and then post it on the message board of the local universe channel, but it's hard to say how many likes she will get in the end. She is well-known in this universe. She is so crazy about water stickers that she has to send out a divine message to her followers several times because no one will read it.”
Hao Ren was startled by the sudden sound. He looked closely and found a small metal block as big as a palm floating next to him and following him silently. He was shocked: "Terminal?! Why did you follow me in too?" Already?"
"Why can't you come in?" the data terminal said lazily, "Didn't you hear what the commander said? This machine is also responsible for providing guidance when you cannot enter the dream plane. It can even handle the guidance work. Why can't this machine Come in?"
"But don't you need to dream when you come here..." Hao Ren looked at this small device that had become a masterpiece in surprise, "Is the artificial intelligence advanced enough to allow dreaming?"
"Dreaming is an inefficient and boring way to maintain the system. This machine does not need such a thing," the data terminal said in a sullen tone, "Who told you that you have to dream to enter the dream plane? It's just that you have to dream to enter. , if you control your own mental power to a certain extent, you will have the opportunity to contact the dream plane, but it is too early for you to think about this now."
Hao Ren knew that this data terminal would find an opportunity to quarrel with its owner whenever it opened its mouth, so the smartest way to deal with it was to pretend it was farting. He glanced at the vast prairie and felt that it would be good to have a companion who could talk to him, and maybe this terminal could have unexpected effects here, so he tentatively asked: "Can you conjure up a suit of clothes for me?" Come?"
The data terminal was silent for a moment: "What do you think?"
"Isn't this a virtual world? Aren't you a supercomputer? It's what I see in science fiction movies. In the virtual world, data is used to organize..."
Before Hao Ren finished speaking, the data terminal interrupted him rudely: "Who told you this misconception? The dream plane is a virtual world? Then why can you take things out from here, and why do people die in the dream? In the plane?"
Hao Ren opened his mouth and admitted that he had accidentally put something he had taken for granted into this unknown territory. In fact, Raven 12345 told him about the "authenticity" of the Dream Plane before, but Hao Ren's opinions were limited at that time and he never understood the issue. Now...well, he still doesn't quite understand it now, but he I have learned to ignore this problem.
"I don't even have a pair of shoes..." Hao Ren sighed as he walked, "I can't bear to keep walking. Is there anything I can replace?"
"Yes," the data terminal said in a calm tone. When Hao Ren was refreshed, it faintly uttered the second half of the sentence, "a tenacious spirit."
"……hehe."
One man and one machine (isn't this combination strange?) Walking under the night, Hao Ren was unwilling to stop casually. Even though his condition was really not very good now, he decided to keep going like this. After all, he entered the dream plane to exercise. If you come here by yourself, what's the point of coming in if you wait until you wake up naturally. Anyway, when he encounters a fatal threat, he will be forced to leave here (thanks to Raven 12345's little pill). He is not worried about dying. Now he is just very curious about what kind of place this place is.
He looked into the distance. When he left last time, he saw something like a house in the distance. Now that those things are still there, it means it is not an illusion, so let's target the "house" in the distance.
One person and one machine (isn't this combination strange?) were walking in silence under the night. Just when Hao Ren felt a little bored, the data terminal suddenly spoke: "This machine needs to remind you of three things."
Hao Ren agreed casually: "Tell me."
"First, resolutely abandon the idea that this is a 'virtual space'. Although the dream plane is not the real world, it has a huge impact on the real world. If you die here, you will die in the real world, and you will also die. You can take things here out, and you have to figure out the specific mechanism of 'taking them out'. Of course, you should already know this."
"Second, no matter what you see here, don't be surprised, just accept it directly, and then slowly analyze the cause and effect after returning to the real world. If you have too much confusion here, your connection with the dream plane will quickly weaken. , it’s not a good thing for the experience journey to end prematurely.”
"Third, don't you think it's very stupid to let your data terminal float next to you? You've seen people walking cats and dogs, but you've never seen people walking PDA! Hurry up and put this device in your pocket, do you hear me? ?”
Hao Ren: "..."
"Hey, wait, don't go! Do you hear this machine talking to you? Hurry up and put this machine in your pocket. This machine is a mobile device, but it is not a device that moves by itself. Do you know what a mobile device means... You Don't go! At least tie a rope to this machine to hold it. The suspension function of this machine is for emergency use, not for traveling..."
Hao Ren ignored this data terminal, which was as neurotic as Raven 12345, and just kept his head down and hurried forward, so the annoying noise of the data terminal rang in his ears for half an hour. , Hao Ren found that his physical strengthening was indeed effective. He could march so far in the wilderness without wearing shoes without breathing, and at least the soles of his feet were much stronger than usual. He walked like this for a long time, and the few small houses in the distance seemed to have entered a lot. But just before he could breathe a sigh of relief, something happened that made people stand on end.
He clearly heard a rustling sound coming from the nearby grass, and then a vague fishy smell drifted into his nostrils along the night wind. It was the smell of wild beasts.
There are wolves, and they are the incredibly huge black monster wolves that are unique to the Dream Plane!
The wolves haven't come nearby yet, but they have obviously noticed the scent of prey here. Now these beasts are carefully setting up an encirclement, using their usual ambush tactics to prepare for a feast, but Hao Ren noticed it very early this time When it came to the dangerous atmosphere around him - the last time the wolves appeared, he had been completely surrounded, and there were faint glances in the grass around him, but this time he noticed the wolves as soon as they made some move.
Hao Ren deeply sighed that the adjustment chamber was really an amazing thing, and then silently thought about how useful his progress was: by the time he realized it, he would still be surrounded!
"This machine recommends that you don't run away," the voice of the data terminal rang in his mind. It seems that this thing also knows that it needs to hide at the moment. "You can't run away from the wolves. Even with your current level of enhancement, you can only get rid of it." Some of them can’t break out of the encirclement.”
"A tough confrontation?" Hao Ren tried hard to calm his heartbeat. He knew that the wolf didn't know that he knew that the wolf was approaching - you can understand this sentence. "I feel a little guilty."
"Isn't it true that hundreds of undead knights are chasing you in the underground palace?" The data terminal snorted, "Don't worry, I will pull you out when you are about to die. Now... be prepared!"
