It didn't take long for Olao to enter his control mode.
The four limbs of the Mystery Object carried the heart space and ran across the "sea" at high speed.
Angor watched the ever-changing scenery outside in silence.
Compared to his previous teaching standards, Olao's current operation was like the difference between heaven and earth. Olao was the cloud, while Angor was the mud.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that it was difficult to control the four limbs of Mystery. He tried his best to stabilize them, but he had to sacrifice his speed in the process. However, other people, including Laplace, her original self, and Olao, all had a much easier time controlling the limbs compared to him.
Especially Olao, who was now controlling the external limbs of the heart space as if they were his own limbs.
Not only could he move the heart space as if he was walking on flat ground, but he could also run, jump, turn, and even bend the "limbs" so that his next sprint would receive a powerful boost.
It only took Olao less than 15 minutes to go from beginner to master.
While he was running, he even found a floating object.
It was a piece of zeolite that was about to shatter, so it wasn't worth much. It must be something that escaped from the "eye of the sea". However, it also reminded him of Olao's talent in manipulating objects.
The speed at which he picked them up was even faster than when Gleipnir was controlling them.
After that, Olao continued to control the heart space to explore the area. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything else. However, Olao seemed to be addicted to playing around. Since he couldn't find anything in this area, he decided to go somewhere else and enjoy himself.
Of course, what attracted Olao wasn't only the objects that looked like the "blind box", but also the "people" he saw from time to time.
These images were like old movies, showing the life of different people in different worlds.
Although it wasn't as immersive as the illusion in the video box, this kind of silent mime gave Olao a different feeling.
It was a new experience for a ten-thousand-year-old otaku.
Of course, he wouldn't get tired easily.
However, for Angor, Olao's experience was a kind of "light and shadow" pollution. The images changed so fast that he felt a little dizzy.
He couldn't stand it anymore. So he left Olao alone and went back to his room to rest.
About an hour later, Olao finally noticed that Angor was gone. He put down his collection device and went to the illusion hut to look for Angor.
Angor didn't say anything and brought Olao back to reality.
In the quiet room, Olao's gaze was still fixed on the Unbreakable Heart Mirror. His eyes were filled with reluctance.
"I will place the Unbreakable Heart Mirror here. If you want to enter it in the future, you can do so at any time."
Olao's eyes brightened up. He wasn't used to living in the mirror realm, but he liked the "Heart Space" better than the "Object Collector".
Being able to open the blind box and watch a movie at the same time were two completely different surprises.
Angor was going to ask about Olao's opinion, but he already knew the answer when he saw Olao's eager look.
After that, Angor didn't restrict Olao's movements.
Olao seemed to want to enter the heart space to "play", but he had just come out of the heart space, and he was quite interested in the "Deviant Flame Pharmacist" outside. In the end, he chose to return to the outside world to accompany the little guys.
While Olao returned to the illusion of Apothecary of Strange Flame, Angor dragged another kid from the audience into the soundproof room.
It was Headland, a Voidtraveler.
Of course, Angor was going to contact Woof.
For one thing, he needed to keep in touch with Woof, which was the foundation of his intelligence network. For another thing, he wanted to know if Dalmatian responded to his message last time.
About two or three minutes later, he cut off the call.
This time, he didn't talk to Woof for long. It was mainly because Woof was in trouble.
It wasn't that something had happened to Wang Wang. Instead, it was a certain Void traveler from Wang Wang's' family 'who was being pursued by an unknown Void monster.
Luckily, the Voidtraveler wasn't being chased by a Void Whale. As long as he could escape for a while, he would be able to get rid of his pursuer.
But how could he escape for a while? Woof had to figure out a plan.
After all, other Voidtravelers were too stupid to listen to Woof's commands from a distance.
Woof was already used to such situations, which was why he dared to accept Angor's request to log in.
Angor didn't want to disturb Woof at this time, so he quickly logged out of the network so that Woof wouldn't be distracted.
They didn't talk for long, but Angor still learned a lot about Woof's "family" in the void.
Apart from that, Angor also learned that Dalmatian didn't reply.
Last time, he sent Dalmatian a video of his conversation with Rabbit Chacha in the background of Teapot Kingdom, which was about "looking for the full text of Singularity Dispersive Meditation".
Angor tried to use this method to get more information about Teapot Kingdom and meditation from Dalmatian.
Maybe Spotted Puppy noticed Angor's "bug". It had been a long time, but Angor did not receive any reply.
Angor had no choice but to put it aside for now.
After logging out of the network, Angor looked at Hydlan, who was floating in the air while emitting a faint purple glow.
"Are you going to watch Apothecary of Strange Flame with Dankros, or do you want to go back to my bracelet and rest?"
He noticed that Hydlan was wandering around outside, but the calm aura around it suggested that it was taking a nap instead of watching the movie like the other kids.
That was why Angor asked this question.
Should Hydlan sleep in the illusion or go back to his bracelet?
Angor thought Hydlan would choose to go back to his bracelet, but to his surprise, Hydlan chose to go back to the viewing group.
Angor watched Hydlan leave the soundproof room with a hesitant look.
Maybe it was just his imagination, but he felt that Hydlan's eyes were sharper than before.
…
Angor spent the rest of his time in the soundproof room, as well as working on the Unbreakable Heart Mirror.
Time flew by, and a new morning arrived.
Angor estimated that Luigi should have finished performing Night Sparrow Flight Rhapsody yesterday. Angor wondered what Uriel thought about it.
Did he pass the test in one go? Or was it another case of nothing happening again?
Angor returned to his heart space with curiosity.
When Angor saw Luigi, the man had already logged out of the game and was lazily plucking the strings of his instrument.
Angor looked at the man's frustrated face and realized that he had failed again.
As expected, when Angor asked Luigi about it, Luigi sighed and used the illusion nodes Angor left in his room to show him a row of words.
[Main Quest 3 of Special Dream, Uriel's Choice, failed. ]
[Rating: 13th seat of the Empire Music Group. (21 seats in the Empire Music Group.)]
[Main Quest 3 cannot be activated at this time. (You will need to wait for the next notification from Fairyland.)]
[Challenges available: 4. ]
Last time, Luigi was rated as 14th seat. This time, he got 13th seat, which was only one place higher.
According to Broy, Night Sparrow Flight Rhapsody was much better than Yi Yang, and Luigi agreed with it. But even so, there were very few promotion spots. "Night Sparrow Dance Rhapsody" was only one spot higher than "Yi Yang". No wonder Luigi was so depressed.
According to the number of seats that could be promoted, in order to reach the top three in the remaining four times, the music scores that could be used were probably the kind of shocking and unprecedented songs that could shock the world.
But such music was really rare. Also, whether it could touch Uriel's heart was another problem.
Angor looked at Luigi's sad face and thought for a moment. "Do you remember Uriel's expression when he listened to your performance?"
Angor couldn't think of any other way to help Luigi, so he had to think of something else.
For example, he could analyze Uriel's micro-expressions and see which parts of the performance Uriel liked better, so he could determine Uriel's personal preferences. This way, he would be able to make a specific choice next time.
However, Luigi shook his head. "No. Uriel never looked at me. He just covered his eyes with the back of his hand and leaned against the sofa like he was sleeping."
Also, Luigi didn't pay too much attention to Uriel's performance. Therefore, he wasn't entirely sure if Uriel would reveal any subtle expressions during the performance.
Angor considered. "Next time, I'll go with you."
Luigi focused on the challenge while observing Uriel's expression in his "dream" state.
Of course, Luigi appreciated Angor's encouragement. But …
"But I don't know which song I'll perform next time."
"I'll go look for it."
In order to help Luigi pass the test and see the changes in Uriel's "dream" state, Angor had to do something himself.
Under Luigi's grateful gaze, Angor left the heart space.
His goal this time was to find Broy in the dream wasteland and check what he had collected.
Since he already met Broy, Angor didn't need to contact Leona this time. Instead, he could directly locate Broy's location and log in.
Angor logged in and looked around. As expected, he was at the mission center of the new city.
There were quite a lot of people in the lobby. For a moment, Angor felt as if he was back at the questing hall in Tree Spirit Garden. However, the screen in Tree Spirit Garden displayed a wide variety of quests, ranging from taking care of livestock to saving the world and exploring otherworldly puzzles.
But in the mission center of the new city, most of the quests displayed were "Exploration", "Rural Development", "Biographical Record", and "Construction".
Most of them were "Construction" quests.
Angor didn't spend too much time in the lobby because Broy wasn't there. He was currently in a cubicle on one side of the lobby.
When he came to the cubicle, he saw a long line of people waiting outside.
The people in the line were either holding music sheets in their hands or mumbling to themselves as if they were reciting something. They were the ones who intercepted the quest.
Angor looked around and saw apprentices ranging from level-1 to level-3.
Angor could tell that the music sheet quest this time had a wide scope and a large number of people were willing to accept it.
This was to be expected. Compared to other quests, Angor's quest offered better rewards and was relatively safe. In fact, even mortals could accept it.
If they were lucky enough, they might be able to get the best reward. And the best reward was more than enough for these apprentices to turn their lives around.
Angor looked inside the cubicle and saw that it wasn't Broy who was waiting for him. Instead, it was a pretty girl.
She was reviewing the manuscript.
Or rather, she was the first judge.
Broy was in another cubicle next to her, holding the music sheets that she was reviewing and sifting through them.
Broy didn't do this yesterday. But today, he arranged for the first and final trials, which showed how important the quest was to him.
Angor didn't bother the girl. Instead, he walked through the wall and approached Broy.
Broy wasn't too surprised to see Angor. Angor already sent him a voice transmission, so he was prepared for this.
"Sir, the manuscripts from yesterday are almost done. I've filtered them out — "
Angor didn't comment on Broy's words. Instead, he snapped his fingers and showed Luigi's performance of Night Sparrow Rhapsody.
Of course, Luigi's face was still blurry, so Angor couldn't tell who he was.
When Luigi finished, Angor told Uriel about the number of seats. "Compared to 'Yi Yang' the other day, 'Night Sparrow Rhapsody' is only one place higher."
Angor looked at Broy again. "As I said, there's no problem with the number of seats. So, I hope you can use his performance and the final selection to choose the music sheet I'm going to give you today.
"Similarly, I'll choose one."
Broy was a little flustered after hearing Angor's explanation. Because among the music scores chosen today, there were indeed some that were better than Night Sparrow Dance Rhapsody, but they were not much better. Personally, he felt that it was impossible to directly rise from the thirteenth place to the top three.
Besides, the quality of a music sheet was really hard to define.
No matter how objectively he chose, he still couldn't help but make some subjective assumptions.
It was hard to choose only one.
However, Broy's dilemma didn't last long. Angor's next words gave him a new choice.
"Tomorrow, I'll show the master's expression when he listens to the music sheet through an illusion. Maybe you can read his preference from his micro-expressions.
Of course, it's also possible that he doesn't show any expression when he listens.
Anyway, you'll know the details tomorrow. "
With Angor's words, Broy's choice could be changed appropriately.
Some music sheets were like theater performances that mixed many styles at the same time, from great joy to great sorrow, from cheerful to heavy, from classical to new.
Such music sheets with many styles and performance forms were obviously more useful for probing micro-expressions.
Broy had really found one of these musical scores today, and it happened to be one of the few musical scores he had screened out.
If it was before, he might have to think about which music sheet to choose. But now, he didn't have to.
