Because I'm a Coward, I Maxed Out My San Value

Chapter 186 Entering the City of Dreams

Ye Tingbai sat behind Li Xiaoxiao, and his hand was so awkward. In the past, there was a big iron can behind her, so it was OK to hug her, but now it was wrong to hug her waist.

Ye Tingbai: "By the way, where is Johnson?"

Li Xiaoxiao: "He is working as a laborer for Grandpa Xie."

Ye Tingbai hummed and didn't know what to say. The two of them were so awkward all the way. After getting off the car, Li Xiaoxiao said, "Have a good sleep" and turned around and left.

Ye Tingbai looked up and saw that the lights in his house were still on. He walked home while strolling. What was strange was that the secondary personality actually spoke on its own initiative today.

"You seem panicked?"

Ye Tingbai didn't know how to answer. He was in a complicated mood now. Emotionally, he wanted to talk to his mother about the bad things he had encountered these days, but reason told him not to say it.

No matter from which aspect, these things were not suitable to be told to Chen Lan, and was this woman real?

Ye Tingbai: "Somewhat."

"I can feel that you want to chat with that woman, why do you resist me?"

Ye Tingbai laughed at himself. Even the secondary personality can see more clearly than himself, so what is he struggling with? Ye Tingbai bought a set of bedding downstairs and went upstairs. When he opened the door, he saw Chen Lan sitting at the dining table, staring at the cold food.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why don't you watch TV?"

Chen Lan suddenly woke up and walked to Ye Tingbai to take the quilt.

"I can't do that. You get off work too late today. I'll go heat up the food for you."

Looking at the busy woman, Ye Tingbai felt inexplicably more at ease. The house was cleaned up and all the dirty clothes were washed.

After Chen Lan heated up the food, she returned to the table and stared at Ye Tingbai's face.

"Son, you seem to have changed a lot."

"What has changed?"

Chen Lan: "You are more assertive than before, and you are more confident when you speak."

Ye Tingbai smiled. Confidence is directly linked to one's strength. Ye Tingbai's strength is constantly growing, and his vision and knowledge have been greatly improved. It would be strange if he didn't change.

Chen Lan: "I seem to have forgotten something. I thought about it for a long time during the day, but I couldn't remember how I got here. Your father has no food to eat at home."

Ye Tingbai: "You, you had a car accident before, so I took you to the city for treatment. Now it's December, you have been in a coma for a month, and you probably forgot a lot of things."

Chen Lan's frown relaxed.

"Is that so? No wonder I can't remember anything. I feel fine now. When will you send me back?"

Ye Tingbai could only smile bitterly. Now the home in his memory has become Yi Mo's shelter, and he can't get in at all now.

After dinner, Ye Tingbai and Chen Lan sat on the sofa and chatted for a long time. Most of the time, Ye Tingbai was making up some wonderful life experiences for Chen Lan. Although he knew that all this was fake, and even the woman in front of him might be fake, he was very comfortable.

Ye Tingbai fell asleep while chatting. He slept particularly well that night. When he woke up in the morning, Chen Lan had already started making breakfast. Ye Tingbai ate a little and went out. Today was the day that Dream City invited him.

When Ye Tingbai walked downstairs, he saw a particularly conspicuous black Beetle parked at the gate of the community. The driver was a tall and thin white man with a delicate back hair. He waved to Ye Tingbai and ran down from the car immediately.

He walked in front of Ye Tingbai and bowed slightly.

"Hello, I am a staff member of Dream City. Are you satisfied with the gift?"

Ye Tingbai: "You call it a gift?"

The man apologized immediately: "It was my mistake. I shouldn't say that. Dream City sincerely invites you to go there. Any of your dreams can come true there."

Ye Tingbai shook his head.

"I don't have any dreams. I'm fine now."

The man was stunned, as if he didn't expect this answer. He continued to explain patiently.

"The Dream City will open once every ten years, and a lucky person will be selected to realize any of his dreams. After the dream is realized, you can choose to leave or stay there and continue to live."

Ye Tingbai said impatiently: "I said, I don't have any dreams. Let others have this opportunity."

The man curled his lips.

"If you give up this opportunity, she will disappear completely, and she will never appear in this world again."

Ye Tingbai suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's neck and strangled him.

"What are you doing?"

The man was strangled by Ye Tingbai and had no power to resist, but he didn't struggle. As if he was determined to die, Ye Tingbai helplessly put down his arms and got into the car by himself.

At least now he didn't want Chen Lan to disappear, and he also wanted to see what this so-called Dream City was.

After the car started and drove about a hundred meters, the scenery outside the window became blurred, and he himself did not feel any discomfort. After the surrounding scenery became clear, he had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.

A city with mixed medieval styles, with red bricks and green tiles, courtyards, and small villas in European and American styles. The streets were quite lively. Most of the things sold by these people were food, and the fruits looked very fresh and delicious.

The man explained while driving.

"The history of the Dream City is as long as tens of thousands of years, and there are different humans from different eras here, and they have different living habits, so you don't have to be surprised to see anything here."

Ye Tingbai muttered in a low voice.

"Ten thousand years?"

"According to your understanding, the appearance of Dream City probably started in the Second Era. This is the place that everyone dreams of. You will not regret it."

After passing through the prosperous small town, the Beetle came to a castle in the city center. The castle is about four or five stories high and covers an area of ​​about the size of a football field. There is also a moat around it. Modern technology is particularly rare here.

Under the guidance of the staff, Ye Tingbai was brought into the hall. When he entered the door, he was attracted by four other people who were dressed similarly to him. The confused eyes and breath were definitely not local residents here.

"You can chat first. I will ask the city lord to come over."

The four people, two men and two women, did not look special. They were just ordinary people. Ye Tingbai also took the initiative to communicate with them. These people looked very happy, so they answered all of Ye Tingbai's questions.

It seems that they have also been brainwashed by the so-called gifts.

There is no free lunch in the world. Those things without price tags are the most expensive, so expensive that you may not be able to pay them back.

The previous occupations of these four people were police, unemployed otaku, pharmaceutical factory worker, and a researcher.

The male policeman was muscular, named Fran, a cheerful Caucasian, very enthusiastic towards Ye Tingbai, and took the initiative to tell him a lot of things.
