Finally seeing a living human in The Plane of Dreams, Hao Ren was so surprised that he almost screamed out loud. The expression on his face was so obvious that the girl on horseback not far away raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You really hurt your brain?"
"Uh, no, no, no. It's not easy to see a living person in the wilderness. I'm a little excited." Hao Ren quickly waved his hand and returned to normal. Only then did he have a chance to look at the first human he met in The Plane of Dreams.
She looked to be in her early twenties, perhaps even younger. She wore a light brown leather waistcoat with a white shirt underneath. Her lower body was a set of clothes that seemed to be a combination of an outer skirt and a layer of underwear. A longsword hung from her waist. Her face was full of youthful energy, her eyes were bright, and she looked full of energy. Her skin was a healthy wheat color, and her clean shoulder-length hair at the back of her head made her look quite spirited. The animal that the girl was riding also made Hao Ren a little curious. Although it was said to be riding a horse, the creature was much thicker than the horses on Earth. There were two pieces of keratin that looked like bony plates protruding from its forelimbs near its shoulder blades. Its tail was fluffy and thick, and there was no mane at the back of its neck. It could be said that other than the basic shape that reminded people of a horse, it was a completely different creature. This was probably the unique camel beast in The Plane of Dreams.
"What are you looking at?" The girl on horseback frowned and glanced at Hao Ren. "You really hurt your brain when you fell?"
Only then did Hao Ren realize that it was quite rude to stare at a girl he just met. He quickly smiled and waved his hand. "No, I got lost in the grassland. It's not easy to see signs of human habitation, so I'm just surprised."
"Oh." The young girl nodded and looked curiously at Hao Ren from head to toe. "Weird clothes, no luggage, and lost in the grassland... I can tell that you have no money. You don't even have money to rob. What a bummer. I'm leaving then. "
When Hao Ren heard the word "robbery", he did not know what to say. When he saw that she was really going to leave, he quickly went up to stop her. "Hey, wait! Can you give me a ride … "
"What a thick skin," the voice of the MDT rang in his head. Hao Ren automatically ignored it.
"Give you a ride?" The young girl raised her eyebrows. "Why? I don't know you, and you look very suspicious. "
Hao Ren was a little dumbfounded. Things were not going according to the normal script. If there was a normal script, he would have seized the opportunity to embark on a new adventure with his new acquaintance, the knight. But why was this person in front of him so stubborn?
"I'm lost, aren't I?" Hao Ren spread his hands. "Besides, do you think I can walk out of the prairie on my own in this state? There were more wolves here than people. Aren't you ashamed to watch him die? "
"Although there's nothing to be ashamed about..." The young girl frowned and thought for a moment. "But forget it. Anyway, this place is close to Lamberg. I can give you a ride. But I need to know who you are, where you come from, and most importantly, whether you have money. I'm a mercenary after all. I don't do business without money."
Hao Ren was stunned by the series of questions. He cursed in his heart that he could not meet the kind of brainless girl in other stories. He should have asked the silly wolf king more about human society the last time he came here. Now he did not even know the name of a human, how could he make up an identity?
"Ugh, what do I look like to you?" Hao Ren thought for a moment and spread his hands. "You saw me falling from the sky just now. Not many people can fall from the sky, right?"
He could only hope that the girl could really follow the lead and think of something. After all, "falling from the sky" seemed to be the only breakthrough point at present.
"Oh, yes, you fell from the sky." The young girl nodded. "By the way, you didn't even bring a piece of luggage. You certainly didn't walk into the prairie with your equipment. Are you one of those crazy magicians? Is there something wrong with the teleportation? "
"Then there's something wrong with the teleportation." Hao Ren nodded vigorously, thinking that there was really someone in this world who could match his situation. He had successfully fooled the girl for the first time. But he was only happy for a few seconds when the strange girl asked excitedly, "Then can you make a big fireball for me to see? I've been studying magic recently! "
You're just a mercenary with a sword hanging on your back. Why the hell are you studying magic?
Hao Ren had never thought that the situation that could be easily fooled by the protagonists in novels and TV dramas would be so troublesome in real life. A living person with a normal IQ was indeed harder to fool than a 2D character. The one in front of him, who did not look particularly smart, was enough to make him break out in cold sweat. In the end, he simply shrugged and said, "I can't make it. I was confused when I fell just now. Believe it or not, I'll just walk out on my own anyway …"
"Oh, a magician really has a bad temper." The young girl laughed. "Forget it, I'll give you a ride. Magicians all have money. It's still half a day's journey from here to Lamberg. Charging you 200 Jinas isn't too much, right? And I'll let you ride with me. What do you think? "
Hao Ren was dumbfounded. How would he know what Jinas were? He had never even seen what money looked like in this world! However, the girl in front of him was obviously not one to refuse. So, he gritted his teeth and put his hand into his pocket. As he slowed down his movements, he explained, "Well, I came out quite suddenly and I don't have any money with me. And look at me … I don't have the energy to teleport back to get the money. I'll have to let you wait for a while …"
The girl did not say anything. She just stared at Hao Ren's movements. She knew that although most of the magicians were not normal, there was one thing that made them popular, and that was that they were filthy rich. They could casually make a potion or something that could prolong life and sell it to the nobles for a huge profit. In any case, they were much richer than the average mercenary. The guy in front of her looked like a common magician who was easy to get along with. She liked this kind of person the most: rich and profitable. After all, they spent all their time studying until they became stupid.
"Can I use this to pay off the debt?" Finally, Hao Ren was done with his nonsense. He could not afford to do it in slow motion anymore. After whetting the girl's appetite, he took out a shiny hexagonal object from his pocket. "I made this when I was bored."
"You actually dared to pull me out!" The MDT roared in Hao Ren's mind. It echoed for a long time. "The moment you put your hand in, I should've been prepared!"
"What's this?" The girl looked curiously at the metal plate with blue light wandering on its surface. "Alchemy item? Synthetic ore? Or a broken magic lamp? What's it for? "
"It's actually a very magical thing," Hao Ren said as he tossed the MDT up and down. He ordered the MDT fiercely in his mind, "Hurry up. Show her that you're valuable in three seconds. Make her believe that you're worth bringing a stranger around the prairie for half a day!"
"Just you wait. When I get back, I'll take a picture of you and post it on a gay dating website." The MDT retorted fiercely. It then reluctantly floated in the air and began to play the song that Nangong Wuyue had played earlier.
"Wow, a music box?" The girl was surprised. "And it can fly … Music boxes are common, but why did you make a music box that can fly?"
"Just take it that I'm full of artistic germs and have nowhere to vent them." Hao Ren did not want to explain any further.
"Okay, deal. This looks like it's worth a lot. The music box alone is enough for the trip, not to mention that it can fly." The girl pointed behind her. "You ride on it. Don't touch anything you're not supposed to. I can stab you to death at such a close distance. Once we get to Lamberg, this music box is mine. "
Hao Ren was speechless. He did not know if the people here were tough or if he just happened to meet a tough girl. He awkwardly and clumsily got on the horse, trying not to do anything rude. At the same time, he communicated with the MDT in his mind, "Can you stop blaming Dou E?"
"You f * cking sold me first! Even if I were to downgrade one more time, I could get a top-of-the-line interstellar shuttle in the Macro World market. You know what? You f * cking traded it for a chance to ride with a girl! "
"Cut the crap. Can't you find a chance to fly back yourself?"
"… Oh, right."
"I suddenly thought of a way to make money. We can …"
"I dare you to say it out loud. I know more than 200 gay dating websites. Do you believe that I can summon 3,000 gay men in a minute? "
Hao Ren was speechless.
