The Dream Coin was a beautiful currency. It floated in his hand like starlight.
However, it was only for a moment before it went into his hand. He could clearly feel it moving up his arm and stopping at the symbol of the Dream Seed.
Almost instinctively, Tang Ling tore his shirt open to have a look. Under the symbol of the Dream Seed, Kunya, there were two beautiful dots the size of sesame seeds.
This should be the sign of obtaining Dream Coins.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. The mist will disperse, and congratulations on entering the real adventure. "Liu He's voice was still as friendly as ever. He put his hands back into his sleeves and smiled at Tang Ling.
But even with such an expression, he couldn't feel any emotion from it.
"Hold on, I have something to do." Tang Ling did not even have the time to straighten his shirt as he called out to Liu He.
Actually, he didn't think of anything at the moment. However, the part about not every Dream Seed could meet the receiver and most of the Dream Seeds did not even know about the existence of the receiver.
The arrival of the envoy should be an opportunity, and he had to seize it.
The Dream World had a strong sense of purpose. It could not be that the guide was just here to deliver two Dream Coins, right?
"Time is limited." Maybe it was as Tang Ling expected, Liu He did not reject Tang Ling after Tang Ling called him. Instead, he gave Tang Ling another hint.
Time is limited. As for whether you can get anything from the envoy, it depends on whether you can grasp the key points in the limited time.
"The Dream Coins are here. What if I get a lot of Dream Coins and can't fit my arms?" Tang Ling asked a ridiculous question.
He didn't do it on purpose, but he had his own considerations.
"Oh." Liu He squinted his eyes. He did not expect Tang Ling to ask such a question, but he quickly regained his smile and answered, "I think as a new Dream Seed, you don't have to worry about this for the time being."
"Why?" Tang Ling's expression suddenly turned serious. The seemingly nonsensical question was meant to elicit the question why?
The question was a big one, and it was not targeted at the details because it was impossible for Tang Ling to understand the details of the Dream Domain. However, he used this method to ask about the Dream Domain.
No matter how Liu He answered, he would always leave behind some useful information.
"You are very smart." Liu He did not seem to dislike Tang Ling's cunning. Instead, he immediately understood and praised him.
"Since you're able to clear the Rank S entry mission, I'm sure you've analyzed a lot about the meaning of the Dream Domain."
"The Dream Domain is a test, and the nature of the test is to test the limits of a person's ability. What was the so-called limit? It was a matter of life and death. Do you understand why you can't get more Dream Coins now? "
"I understand. Between life and death, surviving is the most important thing. Dream Coins could only be obtained after reaching a certain level of completion. It's not easy to survive, let alone Dream Coins. " At the same time, he changed the topic. "For every Dream Seed, the test of life and death can be understood as a … hmm … a principle of the Dream Domain."
"Of course. This is the Dao that forms the Dream Domain, and it can also be understood as the Dream Domain's fundamental law. "Liu He was being polite and did not show any signs of impatience.
"In other words, I can go anywhere I want in this city called the Dream Domain. What I ran into was just a line of life and death that targeted me? "Tang Ling's questions were targeted.
"You can understand it as the same for every step you take. To be precise, there's no such thing as going anywhere, understand? "Liu He's smile grew more sincere.
Tang Ling went quiet. He caught the main point of Liu He's words. Within a certain distance, he would run into a line of life and death, and the entire city would not allow him to go anywhere he wanted.
Without any tricks, all he could do was move forward step by step towards the destination that he had set in mind.
"Alright, I should go." Liu He had answered a lot, especially the words' line of life and death '. It almost revealed one of the most important pieces of information about the Dream Domain.
However, it was not considered special care. The key was the person who asked the questions. Tang Ling was able to think of it, which was why he was able to get an affirmative answer from him.
"The line of life and death is the limit of a person's ability, but does a person's ability include everything?" Tang Ling did not care and seized the moment to ask.
He wanted to know how the Dream Domain judged the completion level.
"Include everything. Within the scope of your personal ability, the most perfect solution will receive the highest evaluation. " As Liu He spoke, he had already retreated into the fog. He clearly didn't move, but it was as though a mysterious force was dragging him into the fog.
Wherever he went, the watery mist would magically fade away, revealing a corner of the city.
However, Tang Ling did not have the time to care about that. He watched Liu He's fading figure and seized the moment to ask loudly.
"Can you tell me who you are?"
"Is there any trace of your existence in the old civilization?"
"You and Kun are …"
There was no sound. In just a few seconds, the Guide Envoy Liu He disappeared without a trace.
It was a pity. Tang Ling felt a little regretful. He still had a lot of questions for Liu He, but he knew that the Dream Domain would not let him cross the line.
"He and Kun are of the same race." Somehow, Tang Ling came up with such a conclusion. The conclusion made him feel like he had grasped something, but it was blurry.
With that in mind, Tang Ling grabbed the grade C alloy longsword from his back and put the Wolf Crunch back into his sleeve.
The mystery about Kun and Liu He was obviously not suitable for him to think about at the moment because he was still in the dream. He was in the strange city called the Dream Domain where unknown dangers lurked everywhere.
After the mist dispersed, Tang Ling saw a street in front of him.
The street was made of rough green bricks with short grayish-black walls on both sides.
The street was narrow and uneven. Traces of green moss seemed to be telling the story of the passage of time.
Behind the short walls were buildings with a strong Huaxia style. The black tiles and white walls seemed to represent a famous school of architecture in ancient Huaxia — the Huizhou School of Architecture.
The buildings were not extravagant. At first glance, Tang Ling could tell that they were just common residences, but together with the gloomy sky that seemed to have just rained, it looked like a natural black and white ink painting.
Other than that, through the lingering mist, Tang Ling saw many more streets further away. The most obvious one was obviously a large main street. According to the old civilization's standard, it could accommodate at least ten cars at a time.
The strange thing was that there were all sorts of noises coming from the main street, and he could tell that they were human voices.
However, the Tenacious Papyrus that Su Yao had given him was still in his pocket. There were some unimportant but clear hints on it.
Do not simply enter mountains, forests, caves, houses, and other complicated and sealed spaces.
The wider and more lively the place, do not simply barge in.
As a matter of fact, according to Liu He, the nature of the test was the same, so the conclusion sounded a little ridiculous, but Tang Ling would not simply deny his own experience.
For example, the main street. Tang Ling believed that even though the nature of the test would not change, there must be a lot of hidden secrets in such a crowded place. The test might be repeated one after another.
Liu He's appearance was sudden, and he disappeared just as quickly.
Did he not leave the last bit of convenience for himself? Tang Ling pondered on the spot for a few seconds before he sheathed the longsword and sheathed it back into the leather buckle on his back. Then, he sauntered towards the ancient green brick road in front of him.
The ancient road must have been around for quite some time. As he walked along the road, he realized that the green bricks had all sorts of deep and shallow marks.
The water that accumulated after the rain formed puddles on the road, reflecting the white walls and black tiles. It was a dazzling light with a tinge of panic.
The soft breeze carried the smell of mud mixed with moss. The air was so fresh that it was breathtaking, unlike the era that Tang Ling came from. There was always an inexplicable smell in the air that was not exactly pungent, but it was also known as the omnipresent pollution.
All the realistic details made him feel like he was in a trance. Was this a dream? Or was it reality?
Step by step, step by step …
One meter, one meter …
The regular combat uniform on Tang Ling slowly changed from a dull gray to a heavy black with a sense of toughness.
In the blink of an eye, his upper garment had turned into a short black robe, and his lower garment that was similar to overalls had turned into a pair of black cloth trousers. The trousers were tucked into a pair of boots made of animal hide.
The Wolf Crunch did not change as Tang Ling kept it in his sleeve.
The Desert Eagle turned into a strange object that looked like an ancient Huaxia hidden weapon and was still hanging on his waist.
Tang Ling had no idea whether the longsword had changed or not because he did not have eyes on his back, but he did not have to worry about it because the Dream Domain would provide him with the perfect disguise.
Tang Ling had moved less than 50 meters forward, and his image had changed from a New Moon Warrior of the Purple Moon era to a young knight from an unknown era in ancient Huaxia.
Tang Ling's expression did not change at all. He accepted it calmly and even felt a little regretful in his heart. His limited reading also limited his understanding of ancient Huaxia's history.
If he knew the historical background, would the mission be easier? But what about the mission? However, Tang Ling did not receive any mission notifications.
With that in mind, the bluestone street, or rather, the alleyway, came to an end.
Before he could react, he saw a group of children in ancient Huaxia attire running past him at the end of the street.
As the water splashed, it also left behind a series of sounds that did not disperse.
"The Wang family's grandmother was bitten to death."
"Don't talk nonsense. She's old and she's going to die soon."
"She was bitten. I heard it from someone."
"Why don't we go and have a look?"
The splashing water was easily dodged by Tang Ling and the child's words entered his ears, but he failed to dodge a pair of rough hands.
"Young Master Tang, where have you been for the past two days? It's not a peaceful day, so don't run around. "
Tang Ling looked up and saw a man's face with deep wrinkles between his brows and his forehead. The man's face was thin and yellowish, but his hands were strong. Tang Ling could feel the web between his thumb and index finger swollen from the force of the grip.
It was then that the mission notification popped up in his mind.
"Tang Chongwu. The second son of the Tang family of Qingxi town. "
As the notification popped up in Tang Ling's mind, a complete set of information about the person and the background of the environment appeared in his mind.
What kind of technique is this? Is it directly instilling memories? Tang Ling was shocked by the Dream Domain's technique, but at the same time, he spoke to the old man without showing his emotions.
"Thank you, Grandfather Han. Chongwu has no idea what happened in the village during the past two days. I only heard those children … "Even though Tang Ling did not understand how ancient Huaxia spoke, when he spoke, his dialect, accent, and words were all right.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, be it his accent or his choice of words, everything was on point. The Dream Domain's silent indoctrination seemed to have taught him some basic ancient Huaxia knowledge.
"Don't ask, don't ask. Let's go back to the house first. The master will have to show up later. Sigh, this is the third time this month … "The old man, who Tang Ling replaced with Grandfather Han, interrupted Tang Ling and sighed silently. His words came out of the blue as he dragged Tang Ling towards a certain direction.
Tang Ling was not in a hurry, so he allowed Grandfather Han to drag him away.
Based on the information he got, Grandfather Han was a guard of the Tang family and had a respectable position. Whether it was him or the person above him, the so-called big brother, Tang Chongwen, grew up under Grandfather Han's watch.
Tang Ling's obsession with martial arts since he was young was also because of Grandfather Han's influence.
Therefore, there was no reason for him not to trust Grandfather Han for the time being.
"Look at you! Look at you! Why are you dressed like this when you wield a knife and a spear? Can't you even become the champion of martial arts with your mediocre skills? "
"Why don't you learn from your big brother? He's read the scriptures and he's already a scholar. With a belly full of knowledge, he'll be respected wherever he goes. "Grandfather Han let go of Tang Ling's hand, but old men could not help but grumble.
Tang Ling listened with a smile, but he was looking around absentmindedly. He was sizing up the whole Qingxi town. The town was not that big. A clear meandering river flowed in the middle of the town. The green water reflected the white walls and black tiles of the Hui-style buildings. The trees on both sides of the river were fresh and lush, making one feel like they had walked into a tranquil landscape painting.
The scenery would not have been preserved in the Purple Moon era, but Tang Ling was not in the mood to appreciate it. Instead, his Precise Instinct was running calculations in his mind, outlining the whole of Qingxi town. Based on Tang Ling's habit in every battle, he would memorize the surrounding terrain in his mind. If it was possible, he would not miss out on any details.
After all, it was a test of life and death.
"You're not going to say anything? Are you going to regret it if you don't say anything? " Tang Ling was very quiet, and Grandfather Han was not used to it. When he turned around and saw Tang Ling's nonchalant smile, he got angry.
"I'm going to regret it. I thought it would be great to have one scholar and one martial artist in the family. If you don't like it, Grandfather Han, Chongwu can study literature too. " Tang Ling tried to pacify Grandfather Han. He really did not want to hear a character from his dream nagging at him.
After surveying the whole town, Tang Ling noticed the key point, but he still needed to verify it.
As expected, Tang Ling's words soothed Grandfather Han. His furrowed brows smoothed out and even the wrinkles on his face faded a little.
Seizing the chance, Tang Ling casually asked, "Grandfather Han, what time is it now?"
"You don't even know the time in the wilderness?" Grandfather Han scolded him, but he quickly answered that it was the time of the day.
In other words, according to the modern time conversion, the time of the day was between 9 am to 11 am. If he wanted to be more precise, he might not be able to do it in this era.
The shops along the street were closed, and other than the group of children, there was no one else on the street.
The strangest thing was that the doors of the houses were shut tight. Other than the occasional crowing of chickens and barking of dogs, there was no sound at all. It was as if they were afraid of something.
What was even stranger was that the doors of every household were tightly shut. Other than the occasional crowing of chickens and barking of dogs, there was no sound at all. It was as if they were afraid of something.
Did it have anything to do with what the kids had told him and the unrest that Grandfather Han had mentioned? If that was the case, the focus of the mission would be on this matter.
Although the mission notification only provided some information and did not mention what he had to do, Tang Ling was immersed in his thoughts again.
Tang Ling was immersed in his thoughts again, but Grandfather Han asked, "Are you hungry?"
Wealthy families still had to eat at this time of the day. Grandfather Han felt sorry for Tang Ling, so when Tang Ling asked about the time out of nowhere, he thought that Tang Ling had suffered a lot in the wilderness and it was hard for him to even have a full meal.
Grandfather Han could not help but grumble at Tang Ling. He blamed Tang Ling for being a vigilante and said that he could not do anything without money.
Tang Ling automatically blocked out the grumbling. He pretended to be remorseful as he followed Grandfather Han and memorized the places that they passed by.
Less than 15 minutes later, they arrived at the southernmost part of the town.
There was a big mansion there. It was also a building with black tiles and white walls, but compared to the other houses, it was much more majestic and grand.
The mansion was built at the outskirts of the town. Further south was a small hill with lush greenery. There was a pond between the hill and the town.
The ripples were deep and the water was green with a tinge of black, making it look cold.
"What are you waiting for? Come in. " Grandfather Han was already standing in front of the black door. Maybe it was daytime or maybe the Tang family was not afraid of the things that the people in town feared, but the door behind Grandfather Han was wide open.
Tang Ling nodded and followed Grandfather Han into the house.
However, just as he stepped over the high threshold, a servant came out of nowhere and shut the door as fast as he could with a 'hua' sound. Then, he hurriedly hung the heavy and heavy door latch on the door.
"Interesting." Tang Ling turned around and glanced at the servant's action, chuckling in his heart.
Based on his experience, he was not allowed to enter any mountain, forest, or house. This kind of mission seemed to be more dangerous to him.
However, not only did he enter a house, but he also ran into a mountain and a whole town. What kind of difficulty would this mission be?
More importantly, if the difficulty level did not change, what kind of limit would the mission show? More importantly, did the calculation of the difficulty value include the 'seed'?
Facing this strange dream that was hard to distinguish between real and fake, the nervousness and fear in Tang Ling's heart slowly faded away.
All that was left was excitement and the urge to break out of this dream!
