These huts built on the prairie did not look like tents as Hao Ren remembered, but they still had the characteristics of nomadic people. The huts were made of tough wooden strips and were built into a cylindrical structure. The wooden strips were filled with flexible straw mats and woven fabrics of unknown texture. The roofs were made of thick straw and heavy stones were placed on top of them. The walls of the huts were reinforced with some kind of hard round blocks. The huts looked simple but sturdy. Each of the cylindrical huts was less than ten meters in diameter, and they all looked the same. About a dozen of such huts were scattered in an area surrounded by fences, and it could be considered a primitive 'village'.
Hao Ren was eager to know what the human civilization in The Plane of Dreams was like. So, he did not look carefully at the empty space in the village. Instead, he pushed open the door nearest to him. With a loud crack, the door made of rattan and grass... was pulled down by him.
"It doesn't look like they left recently..." Hao Ren looked at the rotten doorframe in shock. The door and the doorframe were connected by ropes, but the once tough ropes had long rotted away. It seemed that the sense of time of the wolves was not very accurate. The herdsmen here might have been gone for a long time.
"I hope the hut won't suddenly collapse." Hao Ren mumbled and carefully crept into the hut. The MDT floated beside him, emitting a constant dim light. It was barely a flashlight, so Hao Ren could see everything in the hut clearly.
Unsurprisingly, the house was empty. The previous owner of this place had left calmly in a well-prepared situation, so the original furniture had been cleaned up. The floor of the hut was bare mud. Hao Ren found fiber fabrics of unknown texture in the corner of the wall. It was probably a carpet or straw mat. Metal hooks could be seen on every wooden bar of the curved wall. They were probably used to hang weapons or living tools. The center of the hut was low, and there was a dark pit, probably the place where the fire was.
Other than that, there were no other traces left.
Hao Ren was a little disappointed. There didn't seem to be anything valuable here, not even a piece of sheepskin.
However, the existence of the hut could still prove something: there was indeed a human civilization in The Plane of Dreams, and the degree of civilization was probably not low. They had metal craftsmanship (the metal hooks left on the wall), construction technology, and could survive on the grassland surrounded by wolves. The Plane of Dreams was by no means a desolate and strange space with only beasts and monsters. Although Raven 12345 had told Hao Ren this before, Hao Ren only had a real understanding of it after witnessing it with his own eyes.
"Do you know about the Plane of Dreams?" Hao Ren looked at the floating MDT beside him. "Hey, stop swaying. Can you keep the light steady?"
"If you have the guts, go back and study the manual! You've never used this machine properly before! I'm a high-tech auxiliary device, not a flashlight, not a brick, not a meteor hammer, and definitely not a pet for you to play with! " The MDT was furious, but it still answered Hao Ren's question. "I didn't input too much preset information. As a standard device for inspectors, I only have the necessary modules pre-installed. But I can retrieve some information from the local universe channel … Search complete. Characteristics of The Plane of Dreams: authenticity, expansiveness, linear development, self-consistency, influence the real world. Do you need me to explain them one by one? "
"Explain, I'll listen slowly," said Hao Ren as he wandered around the hut, looking for any possible valuable clues.
"Authenticity, The Plane of Dreams has definite attributes of truth. It is a real world, with effective, calculable rules. Although it is distorted, everything in it has internal logic. Everything in this space is not an illusion. Expansiveness, due to various reasons, research on The Plane of Dreams has never really been carried out. But from the results of a few rough spatial sensing, the size of The Plane of Dreams is very likely to be similar to the real world. Its vastness is worth looking forward to. If the god of the universe decides to start a large-scale exploration of The Plane of Dreams, the inspectors will be very busy. Linear development, The Plane of Dreams is a space of development and change. Although it is strange, things inside it do change linearly. There is the replacement of history and the evolution of everything here. Everything has a linear cause and effect. Therefore, there is no unexplainable or unreasonable thing here. This is a new entry, its authenticity needs to be verified. Self-consistency, everything in The Plane of Dreams is self-consistent, which is also the embodiment of its authenticity. Influence the real world … This entry is nonsense, I don't think it needs to be explained. "
Hao Ren listened half-heartedly and picked out the parts that he could understand. Suddenly, a flash of light in the corner of the hut caught his attention.
He quickly walked over and found a small piece of iron that was half buried in the soil.
The moment he saw the small metal piece, Hao Ren felt his heart tremble. A sense of familiarity spread from the bottom of his heart. When he dug out the metal piece, he was really stunned.
It was a diamond-shaped metal piece, less than the size of a palm. The surface was partly rusted, and the material seemed to be iron. The most eye-catching part of the metal piece was some patterns that looked like hieroglyphs. Hao Ren stared at the patterns for a long time, and finally confirmed that he had seen them not long ago — it was the metal piece that he and Vivian found when they were rummaging through the junk in the basement!
"What the …" Hao Ren was stunned and said to himself, "Why would my house have …"
Before he could finish, he was suddenly interrupted by a sudden strange howl from outside the hut.
"Whoo — whoo —" A burst of howling wind came from all directions as if it was planned, followed by the sound of the hut shaking. Hao Ren looked up in shock. At that moment, he saw the entire roof of the hut flying away!
The straw roof, which was weighed down by heavy stones, suddenly disappeared without a trace. Bright starlight and moonlight shone on the hut. Before Hao Ren could figure out what was going on, he saw the wall in front of him shaking violently, and then the whole hut was uprooted from the ground!
The word "hurricane" flashed in his mind, but before Hao Ren could react, he felt the weight under his feet lighten, and the whole hut flew into the sky!
The strengthening of his body had given Hao Ren great strength and a strong physique, but it did not give him the ability to stand still like a pine tree. The sudden strange hurricane on the grassland suddenly swept the unlucky kid into the air. Before he knew what was going on, he had already spun more than 30 times in the air. In the crazy spin, Hao Ren kept bumping into all kinds of things that were swept up into the air. He was dizzy and embarrassed. But soon he found that the most frequent collision was not the debris of the hut that was torn by the wind, but a palm-sized luminous metal block. He suddenly became furious. "MDT! You're here for revenge, aren't you?! "
The MDT, while circling around and hitting Hao Ren's head, explained sincerely, "I really can't control the direction. The hurricane is so terrible …"
"Terrible, my ass! You've hit my face against the wind four times … five times! "Hao Ren was furious, but he did not forget the matter at hand." What the hell is going on? Why is there a hurricane on such a sunny day? "
"How would I know? My natural disaster warning function was messed up by Officer 12345! I replaced it with a trial version of the extreme weather radar, and the trial period just passed last night. If you have any complaints, you can go and write a complaint to the higher-ups! "
"You …" Before Hao Ren could say two words, he suddenly felt his vision go black.
A sense of weightlessness hit him, and then he heard a thud. Hao Ren felt that he had fallen on a hard ground. He opened his eyes and saw that he was in his familiar bedroom, and the bright sun was shining on him.
When he woke up, it was the time that he had set before entering The Plane of Dreams.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Hao Ren was still in a state of palpitation after being tossed into the air by the tornado. Entering The Plane of Dreams was indeed a test of the heart. He panted for a long time before his heartbeat finally returned to normal. Then, he felt something pressing against his butt.
He touched it, and a diamond-shaped metal piece jumped into his eyes.
