Fortunately, the nightmare was not a serial. It was not divided into two episodes. Hao Ren only appeared at the place where he left the Plane of Dreams last time. But the wolves that attacked him were no longer there. The unlucky kid did not have to play out the bitter drama of being reincarnated by a bunch of wild monsters when he just left the novice village.
But there was still a burst of wolf howling coming from all directions. Although it did not sound like it was nearby, it was enough to make Hao Ren, who had not seen enough of the world, frightened. He deeply realized that this was a lawless zone. The animal protection organization and the forest rangers were in another world. Here, neither he nor the wolves were protected. And frankly speaking, this was the territory of the wolves. He was the outsider.
As the only outsider in the grassland occupied by the wolves, Hao Ren tightened his clothes to resist the chill that spread from his body to his heart. He stepped forward, wondering if his brain had degenerated after spending too much time with Lily. Why did he have to put on his pajamas when he went back to his room to sleep?
Based on his previous experience in The Plane of Dreams, a person's physical condition in The Plane of Dreams was exactly the same as in the outside world, including the clothes they wore and their physical fitness. However, he had forgotten about this. He, Vivian and Y 'zaks had been busy with the preparations in the living room, and the end result was that he almost had insomnia and could not enter the Plane of Dreams. What's more, he was still in his pajamas!
Walking on the grassland, Hao Ren looked down at his feet and could not help but let out a long sigh. "Damn it, and I'm not wearing shoes … If the neurotic goddess knows about this, she'll probably make fun of me."
A voice suddenly came from the side. "She'll 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'll get in the end. She's a well-known spammer in this universe. Even when she sends a message to her believers, she has to send it several times — because no one reads it."
Hao Ren was startled by the sudden voice. He looked carefully and found a small metal block the size of a palm floating beside him silently. He was shocked. "MDT?! Why did you follow them in? "
"Why can't I come in?" "Didn't you hear what the chief said? I'm responsible for guiding you when you can't enter The Plane of Dreams. If I can even guide you, why can't I come in?"
"But don't we need to dream to come in here?" Hao Ren looked at the little device in amazement. "Is the artificial intelligence so advanced that it can dream?"
"Dreaming is an inefficient and boring way to maintain the system. I don't need it," the MDT said arrogantly. "Who told you that you have to dream to enter The Plane of Dreams? It's just that you have to dream to come in. Once you've reached a certain level of control over your mind power, you'll have the opportunity to come into contact with The Plane of Dreams. But it's still too early for you to think about that now. "
Hao Ren knew that once the MDT opened its mouth, it would find an opportunity to quarrel with its master. So the smartest way to deal with it was to ignore it. He glanced at the vast grassland and felt that it was not bad to have a companion who he could talk to. Maybe the MDT could play an unexpected role here. So he asked tentatively, "Can you make me a set of clothes?"
The MDT was silent for a moment. "What do you think?"
"Isn't this a virtual world? Aren't you a supercomputer? I've seen it in sci-fi movies, where you use data to organize —"
Before Hao Ren could finish, the MDT rudely interrupted him. "Who told you this wrong idea? The Plane of Dreams is a virtual world? Then why can you take things out from here and why people died in The Plane of Dreams? "
Hao Ren opened his mouth. He had to admit that he had once again taken things for granted in this uncharted territory. In fact, Raven 12345 had told him about the "reality" of The Plane of Dreams before. But at that time, Hao Ren's understanding was limited and he did not quite understand the problem. Now … well, he still did not quite understand it, but he had learned to ignore it.
"I don't even have a pair of shoes …" Hao Ren sighed as he walked. "I can't stand it anymore. Is there anything that can replace it?"
"Yes," the MDT said in a calm tone. When Hao Ren perked up, it said the second half of the sentence faintly, "a tenacious spirit."
"… Hehe."
One man, one machine. (Isn't this a strange combination?) Walking in the night, Hao Ren did not want to stop. Even if he was not in a good state, he still decided to walk on. After all, he came to The Plane of Dreams to train himself. There was no point in coming here until he woke up naturally. Anyway, if he encountered a fatal threat, he would forcibly leave this place (thanks to Raven 12345's little pills). He was not worried about dying. Now he was just curious about what kind of place this was.
He looked into the distance. The last time he left, he saw something that looked like a house in the distance. Now that those things were still there, it meant that it was not an illusion. So, he would target the "house" in the distance.
One man, one machine. (Isn't this a strange combination?) Just as Hao Ren was feeling a little bored, the MDT suddenly said, "I need to remind you of three things."
"Go ahead," Hao Ren replied casually.
"First, firmly abandon the idea that this is a 'virtual space'. Although The Plane of Dreams 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. You can also take things out of here, but you have to figure out the specific mechanism of 'taking out'. Of course, you should already know about this. "
"Second, no matter what you see here, don't be surprised. Just accept it. When you return to the real world, slowly analyze the cause and effect. If you have too much confusion here, it will cause your connection with The Plane of Dreams to weaken rapidly. It's not a good thing to end your journey early."
"Third, don't you think it's very stupid to let your MDT float around you? I've seen people walking cats and dogs, but never a PDA! Quickly put me in your pocket, do you hear me?! "
Hao Ren was speechless.
"Hey, wait, don't go! I'm talking to you, do you hear me? Quickly put me in your pocket. I'm a mobile device, but not a mobile device. Do you know what a mobile device is? Don't go! Can you at least tie a rope around me? My levitation function is for emergencies, not for traveling … "
Hao Ren ignored the MDT, which was a little neurotic like Raven 12345. He just kept his head down and hurried forward. The annoying noise of the MDT rang in his ears for a full half an hour. Hao Ren found that his physical enhancement was indeed effective. He did not even gasp for breath after running so far in the wilderness without shoes. At least the soles of his feet were much stronger than usual. He walked like this for a long time, and the small houses in the distance seemed to have improved a lot. But just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, something that made his hair stand on end happened.
He clearly heard a rustling sound coming from the grass nearby, and then a faint fishy smell wafted into his nostrils along the night wind. It was the smell of a beast.
There were wolves, and they were the unique black wolves of The Plane of Dreams!
The wolves had not come close yet, but they had obviously noticed the smell of prey. Now these beasts were carefully setting up a circle, using their usual ambush tactics to prepare for a full meal. But this time, Hao Ren had sensed the danger around him in advance. The last time the wolves appeared, he was completely surrounded, and there were faint eyes in the grass around him. This time, he sensed the wolves as soon as they moved.
Hao Ren deeply sighed at the amazing gadget of the Reconfiguration Chamber. Then he silently thought about his progress: by the time he reacted, he would still be surrounded!
"I suggest you don't run," the voice of the MDT sounded in his mind. It seemed that this thing also knew that it was necessary to hide. "You can't outrun the wolves. Even with your current enhancement level, you can only shake off a part of them. You can't break out of the encirclement."
"Face it head-on?" Hao Ren tried to calm his heart. He knew that the wolves did not know that he knew the fact that they were close. "I'm feeling a little diffident."
"Don't you feel diffident when you were chased by hundreds of undead knights in the crypt?" the MDT snorted. "Don't worry, I'll pull you out when you're about to die. Now … get ready! "
