Welcome to the Dream WorldCh113 - My host isn’t your host’s father! Why should I let him have his way? Screw off!

It was not easy to endure the mental examination on our home planet. Both 110 and Song Kefeng were a bit mentally exhausted. Song Kefeng patted his own head and said to 110, ‘I’m going to sleep well now, no matter if it’s the game of the past seven days or the recent self-talk, I feel utterly exhausted.’

Meanwhile, Mo Yang was pulling Wan Mei to check the rewards for completing the ‘Bloody Monopoly’ game this time.

[Because the player Yang Heigou obtained the complete ‘King’s Scepter’ as the starting item, the special Dream World weapon and equipment leaderboard is now open for access, which can be queried through the guide system or forums.]

[Player Yang Heigou received 40,000 Dream Coins. Current total Dream Coins: 660,500.]

[Player Yang Heigou obtained a level four Mental Power Recovery Card, a level four Immortal Tea, and a level four Otaku Drink.]

[The player can now bring rare in-game items and skills: (Excluding junk items).]

[King’s Scepter (Level 1 Complete): Can be used for attack, defense, and support. That’s me! I witnessed the establishment of the empire! To be honest, I’m surprised you were able to synthesize my complete form. But what impresses me the most is your unruly soul! You’re just like my first master, a show-off who can talk big and can’t be killed! I believe you can lead me back to the peak!]

  pN4lGD

[Level 2 Phoenix Ring: High Priestess Feng Zhao uses the power of life to protect, and those who possess the Phoenix Ring can sense each other within a certain distance. If one suffers a life-threatening injury, the other will automatically share half of the fatal attack.]

[Tree Heart (Young): Doubles the rate of mental power recovery. Upgradable.]

  MEPGOo

[Level 2 Phoenix Village Blessing: Beauty is everything! The initial favorability of all human-shaped NPCs increases by 60%, while the initial favorability of other non-human NPCs increases by 30%. Even if you have high charm, without our blessing, Feng Xingyu won’t buy you a microphone on his own. That’s a lot of money added up.]

[Guardian of the High Priest: Ugly is the original sin, get lost! Defends against attacks from all repugnant beings, and defense power is proportional to their ugliness. Remember that basketball? The reason it bounced back was because of my protection, and I blocked many of Emperor Qin’s attacks. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have lasted that long.]

[Gore and Linlin’s Wedding Invitation: Please be sure to attend our wedding!]

[Well, wish the player good luck, and let’s hope for more success in the next game.]

Mo Yang looked at the introductions of the King’s Scepter and the Guardian of the High Priest, and he couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing. Sometimes, when he looked at such descriptions, he had the illusion that people from other worlds in the past were still alive.

However, reaching level 4 surprised him. He quickly summoned 006 to check the level leaderboard and saw dozens of level four players who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. This list included his family’s Great Demon King, Wan Mei, as well as Emperor Qin, Qing Nu, and a few other foreign names like Yarabran and Safiro. Finally, Mo Yang also saw Qi Hong, the host of 003. Apparently, even though they hadn’t cleared the same game together, this person was still at the forefront of many players.

  SCBbA7

By this time, most of the players in the top 100 level rankings had achieved their positions through their genuine abilities. Even if they could level up quickly by playing dating simulation games for experience, starting from the third-level games, even dating simulation games were filled with hidden dangers. If not taken seriously, not only would leveling up quickly be difficult, but even clearing the game would be very challenging.

006 was very satisfied with his host’s sixth-level ranking. It didn’t think that being ranked first or second was the best; sixth place was just fine. Moreover, it knew its host well, and he had no intention of playing games crazily just to gain experience. If its host started to grind for experience, he would undoubtedly be the most formidable. Playing it cool was enough to make a fortune quietly.

  x4KzwU

006: [Host, do you want to take a look at the newly opened weapon and equipment leaderboard? Hehehehehe, you’re famous on the list, you know.]

Mo Yang, hearing 006’s laughter, felt that this ball was definitely up to no good. And when he looked at the leaderboard, his face turned slightly green.

Following that were Emperor Qin’s Emperor’s Sword, Safiro’s Thunder Spear, Yarabran’s Book of the Old Testament, and Mei BaiWan’s Fang Dissection Knife. These weapon and equipment names were impressive just by their titles, but Mo Yang felt that this could potentially lead to future collective attacks or ambushes on him and Wan Mei. They appeared in sixth place on the weapon and equipment leaderboard, with their names listed as the Phoenix Ring.

The weapon leaderboard had only ten slots in total, and he and Mei BaiWan occupied three of them. From now on, all the nearly one million players in the Dream World would probably remember his and Wan Mei’s names.

  KZ80fo

006’s schadenfreude-filled voice sounded.

[Hehehehehehe! Host, you’re in the limelight! Hahaha, the most popular discussion thread on the Dream World forums right now is about who you and Mei BaiWan are, where you live, and what you look like. The number of participants has reached 400,000, and nearly a million are secretly lurking! You’re definitely in the spotlight. Are you happy?!!]

  dZcINT

Mo Yang chuckled, “I’m about to die of happiness.”

As he spoke, the on-screen notifications inviting him to battle and add friends had already filled his entire field of vision. Mo Yang waved them all away, except for his original friends, and didn’t respond to anyone else.

  3Kc6wT

Qi Hong, Qi Fu, and Xiao Junshi sat together browsing the forums while making comments. Qi Fu said, “I told you I’m not the protagonist. 003 told me my weapon can only rank thirteenth, not even in the top ten. I’ve given up. Let’s find some time to go to Jing City in a few days. I think the Dream World is getting more dangerous, and today I felt like my brain was being scanned. In this situation, following the main character has a future. At least we can die a little slower.”

Qi Fu paused his game and said, “Uncle, are you joking? Our family’s businesses and industries are all here in Shenzhen. Are you really planning to go to Jing City without any consideration? I don’t think the Dream World is that dangerous.” RdMPvS

Qi Hong gave his nephew a sly smile and looked at his little strategist. Xiao Junshi pushed his glasses and said, “I agree with going to Jing City. It’s at least the political, military, and cultural center. If something happens, we can get the news and respond quickly. Although Shenzhen has good economic development, if something major occurs, we won’t be able to react as swiftly. Besides, I also felt some strange power today.”

Qi Hong laughed playfully and teased his nephew, “See, kid, don’t always say that I favor the little strategist. I just favor those with smarter brains.” Then he looked serious, “You can make money again if you lose it, but if you lose your life, that’s the real game over.” 4DRi9X

Conversations like this, discussing the newly emerged Dream World weapon and equipment leaderboard, were happening all over the world. However, most people were only discussing who Yang Heigou and Mei BaiWan were, while only a very few sensed the impending danger from this leaderboard and took action.

  2zQxJg

Zhou Api was beyond excited, boasting about his Big Brother Hei and Big Brother Bai on the forums while touching the jade pendant on his neck to thank his ancestors. His guide, 666, told him that his jade pendant had ranked 28th in the equipment leaderboard, which made him laugh so hard that his eyes disappeared. But that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that following the big shots would ensure he could survive to the end!

Mo Yang replied to his dream world friends, including Qi Hong, Zhou Luoluo, and Rose, and then closed the leaderboard. 006 was circling around him, still smiling mischievously, and asked why he wasn’t happy.

  hIwALe

006: [Do you want to hear something else that will make you happy?]

Mo Yang glanced at it, and 006’s tone was fluctuating excitedly: [Hahaha, your Tree Heart would be in the top ten on the equipment leaderboard if it were counted as equipment! Think about it, dominating three top-tier equipment by yourself, isn’t that amazing?]

  nd7SUQ

Mo Yang smirked and then suddenly asked: “What’s the deal with the Subverters? And the System Self, um?!”

Before Mo Yang could finish speaking, 006 panicked and directly blocked Mo Yang’s mouth with its shiny ball body.

  Box4RH

After spitting out this shiny golden ball in disgust, Mo Yang heard 009’s voice floating over: [Are you trying to get yourself killed?! You dared to utter those three words!!]

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Mo Yang furrowed his brow and asked, “Hasn’t the inspection already passed? Why are you all acting so scared?”

  r65woZ

Surprisingly, 006 summoned a small cloud that rained over itself. After getting its golden ball body wet, it rushed over angrily and said, [Do you think the inspection only happens once? If it were that easy, what would you need to do? From now on, you all should be prepared for inspections at any time. Our great mother star has awakened, and it won’t go back to sleep! As long as there’s any issue or strong thought fluctuations, inspections will happen again, maybe once a week or even more than ten times a day.]

006’s tone turned cold and mechanical towards the end: [You’ve awakened the most formidable opponent yourselves. Be prepared to face the harshest survival conditions.]

  1ntocC

Mo Yang’s heart skipped a beat.

009 added, [Look forward to the results this time. The second stage might open at any moment. Hmph, I think you might not survive for many chapters.]

  ZddSoi

After this, no matter how Mo Yang tried to ask more questions, neither 006 nor 009 answered. Mo Yang glanced at Wan Mei, who was quietly cooking beside him. Wan Mei curled her lips and said, “We’ll talk about it when we go to sleep.”

Mo Yang raised an eyebrow and understood.

  dScoaw

In the Dream World, their every move was under the surveillance of that mother star. Discussing any significant issue was too dangerous. It seemed like 006 and 009 had already told them all they could. From this perspective, 006 and 009 didn’t seem to be complete enemies. Whether it was the sudden warning in the game or the recent blatant threat that actually leaked some information, they both suggested that these two entities had ulterior motives.

Mo Yang closed his eyes, then opened them again. This was a critical point he needed to grasp, no matter what.

  fndkUB

Of course, apart from this, there was another thing he had to do tomorrow.

Mo Yang thought about it and let his mind go blank. After mechanically fishing and collecting his harvest, he and Wan Mei exited the Dream World.

  7p6TYw

They didn’t know that after they left, 006 and 009 had a showdown with 001 and 002.

After leaving the game, Emperor Qin quickly figured out how to obtain the King’s Scepter. He believed that if he managed to get any one of the three microphones auctioned, Yang Heigou’s King’s Scepter wouldn’t be complete. But the biggest issue was, where did “Proverbs” come from? For this, he interrogated 001 in a very aggressive tone. OiGQlh

It seemed like 001 was experiencing a situation where its host was intercepted by others in the game for the first time. It was shocked beyond words and reviewed the recording of the Bloody Monopoly game world. It then explained to Emperor Qin how Yang Heigou obtained “Proverbs.”

Emperor Qin was still dissatisfied. “You said the King’s Scepter was at the Black Star Grand Hotel, right? But ‘Proverbs’ is not there.” ALTYxo

In a gentle but somewhat helpless tone, 001 replied, [Your Majesty, I didn’t expect those two players to actually go to the Wei Research Institute. Based on my calculations, Wei Shuyu wouldn’t have been saved, and then Wei would have to compensate for the explosion. At that time, Wei’s elder would auction ‘Proverbs.’ Once that happened, you would have successfully obtained the King’s Scepter.]

001 continued, [This was a high-probability event, but those two players’ actions didn’t follow common sense, especially Yang Heigou, who played with other people’s hoverboards in someone else’s research institute. What was he thinking? This kind of mindset reminded me of a certain host who had a peculiar brain.] bz6yID

Emperor Qin also felt frustrated. “Why didn’t you tell me the details of what happened? Then I could have gone to the Wei Research Institute directly.”

With a flash of golden light, 001 emitted a beautiful radiance. A woman who combined the beauty of various extraordinary women appeared in front of Emperor Qin. She reached out and hugged Emperor Qin’s neck, gazing at him with her enchanting eyes. [Your Majesty, don’t blame me. I’ll be very sad.] c4dqVw

Emperor Qin was taken aback by the beauty of this woman, and his brain momentarily went blank. He sighed softly and embraced 001. “Ah Yi, I won’t blame you. It’s not your fault.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

001 smiled and said, [Well, Your Majesty, I’ll look forward to the day when you stand at the pinnacle of the world and offer both myself and the Dream World to you.] 1ZzFGn

Emperor Qin raised the corners of his mouth. “That day will come.”

  7dE5ag

After Emperor Qin logged off, 001 learned about Yang Heigou from the current rankings and directly found out that Yang Heigou’s guide was 006. It was furious and immediately called for a showdown with 006. 

Internal exchange group for the top 100 guides:

  tOHaQX

001: [006, you damn defective product! What’s wrong with your host? He actually stole something from my host?!]

006 heard 001’s words, and its whole spherical body seemed ready to explode. It immediately shouted back:

  XZOzVu

006: [Dammit! If your host has no abilities, don’t blame other guides! My host isn’t your host’s father! Why should I let him have his way? Screw off!]

001: [Alright! You’re quite something! Come roll over here to meet me!!]

  Jhra c

006: [If you want to fight, come on your own! I don’t have time to roll over!]

Chrysanthemum Garden.

After that, both 006 and 001 went offline, leaving the other eavesdropping guides to comment: [Wow, it’s getting scary again. The bosses are at it again. But it seems like this showdown is happening earlier than in the previous worlds, right?]

  KAHnS3

Author’s Note –

*cough*, I saved the game review for nothing, but I felt I couldn’t skip the one about the Black Dog. So, I wrote it, and I’m really not trying to meet a word count, I swear! t5Rsdk

Also, at the end of this chapter, the last force is revealed—the residual consciousness of the previous world.

So far, all three major forces have been introduced: the “Dream World, including the mother star and the guides,” the “Earth players,” and the “residual consciousness of the previous world, including the planet’s self-consciousness and the consciousness of its inhabitants.” NGZYXe

Well, I personally believe that everything has a spirit, and the Earth itself might be a living being, like a peculiar “vampire planet” in the universe. Their grand consciousness is challenging to completely eliminate, and the mother star of the Dream World can be seen as a form of the vampire planet, except its method of consumption is gradual. Consumed planets don’t disappear but become desolate. There will be a demonstration of the second-stage invasion of the Dream World later, and you will understand.

*cough*, that’s all for now. Thanks to all of you for listening to me ramble and providing me with nutrients, landmines, and rocket launchers. You’re all too awesome. QlefSE
