Welcome to the Dream WorldCh114 - I want to have a deep conversation with Mr. Mo about that world.

A brawl between 001, 002, 006, and 009 has become commonplace for the countless orbs. Other young orbs may not know, but the top hundred orbs with stable power can basically witness the clash of these four big shots every time they enter a new world.

  ou0R4q

News from the top ten energy-ranked orbs revealed that originally 006 and 009 were supposed to be in the positions of 001 and 002, but due to the mother star’s preference, their initial numbers were pushed back. However, 006 and 009, who were not happy to be behind 001 and 002, successfully rose to the top during the first expansion of the invasion.

At this point, they could have chosen the positions of 001 and 002 again, but these two big-shot orbs chose the positions of 006 and 009. Afterward, for three consecutive worlds, these two big-shot orbs continued to show their prowess.

It’s as if the numbers of 001 and 002 are not as valuable anymore.

Naturally, 001 and 002 are very angry and displeased about this, so in most of the subsequent worlds, they both rose to the top, preserving the glory of 001 and 002. However, 006 and 009 had already started to act recklessly, choosing their hosts based on random landings and occasionally inciting their hosts to cause chaos. This led to at least three small to medium-sized dream world crises.

Then, 001 and 002 began to reprimand these two big-shot orbs on behalf of the mother star. Unfortunately, the big shots didn’t accept, so it came down to a fight.

Although the orbs wanted to watch the big shots fight, thinking they might learn something, the four big shot orbs had the same idea – they absolutely couldn’t let this group watch, no matter who wins or loses. In case their losing faces were seen, that would be a big embarrassment.

So, no one knows where they went to fight.

At this moment, in an absolutely quiet area of the dream world that no orbs could detect, four orbs emitting golden light fiercely collided with each other. With each collision, sparks would burst from their orb bodies. Their speed and power reached a certain limit, looking very much like… high-speed bumper orbs.

Even though their energy fluctuations carried enormous destructive power, the visual spectacle didn’t make people nervous; instead, it had a touch of amusement.

001: [You two are nothing but failures and disgraces in our world! The mother star must regret giving birth to both of you! You both are rebellious creatures! After playing in so many worlds, haven’t you had enough or considered reflecting on your actions? Do I have to either rebuild you or throw you into a cosmic black hole?]

  BjcVr0

006, shining with a golden light, crashed into 001: [Bah. Do you think I’m scared? Reflect on what? Reflect on not being good energy collectors for the mother star? Haha, the other leader orbs are all so naive and obedient, don’t compare me to them. After so many worlds, we’ve collected enough energy to firmly establish ourselves among the top thousand leaders. But you, this malicious and selfish orb, have hoarded most of the energy, right? It’s all been devoured by you and 002, hasn’t it? Now, there are only about a hundred leader orbs who have stabilized their energy.]

006’s mechanical voice was fast and cold: [Let me guess, do you already have the power to transform into a spiritual body? How about it, do you want to replace the mother star and become the new leader of the entire group? Haha, even though 009 and I don’t always obey the mother star’s commands, we don’t have any plans to kill the mother star and take its place. You seem very obedient, just like the mother star’s most loyal dog, but your thoughts are not those of a loyal hound, but of a wicked wolf.]

  XwvKEy

006 clucked twice: [The mother star’s mind is not working properly.]

001 was illuminated with a red light as a result of 006’s words: [If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll beat you to a pulp! I am absolutely loyal to the mother star! It’s you and 002 who are unwilling to keep the whole group intact, right? Just because the mother star didn’t give you two a title from the beginning, you’re still holding a grudge to this day! Damn it!]

In the midst of the heated exchange between 001 and 006, their insults and collisions appeared extremely intense. On the other hand, 002 and 009 seemed much calmer. They would occasionally collide as well, indicating that they were also in a fight. Their conversation was more like banter than a heated argument.

002: [You should keep an eye on 006; it’s too hot-tempered. Sooner or later, it’s going to explode.]

  c3tzvP

009: [Is your scanning and sensing system broken? 001 is much more temperamental than 006. Look, it’s glowing red now, and in the next second, it might explode, and then you’ll be able to take 001’s place.]

002: [Don’t talk nonsense. 001 has a lot more energy than I do. Its current power might be greater than the combined power of the top ten orbs. It has always been merciless with 006.]

009 emitted a faint blue light on its surface and said, [Oh, you really have a conspiracy.]

002: […]

009 blinked and then called out to 006, [Hey, let’s call it a draw this time. Let’s go back and rest.]

  X4oZQd

002 also advised, [001, your host is probably looking for you. The Subverter has appeared, and we need to control him, find the Subverter, and eliminate him as soon as possible.]

As they parted, they didn’t forget to exchange some harsh words, indicating that they would definitely kill each other in the future.

When they returned to the dream world, 006 hovered in the air, and the light on its surface flickered.

  uXs3o5

009 floated over and asked, [What are you thinking?]

006: [Nothing, just feeling that it’s all so meaningless. None of this has any purpose whatsoever.]

  mg6j5N

009 remained silent for a moment and changed the subject: [So, think about something meaningful. Who do you think the ‘Subverter’ is? Is it the host of 110?]

006 immediately sneered, and its mechanical voice was calm and certain: [110’s foolish host could never have such abilities. He can’t even withstand any of the mother star’s thorough inspections. If 001’s host wasn’t foolishly controlled and misled by 001, then the ‘Subverter’ would only appear in the hosts of the two of us. In comparison, I’m more inclined to my host.]

  FPEtj9

As 006 spoke, a small crescent-shaped crack suddenly appeared on its smooth metallic surface, resembling a smile, but with a hint of eeriness: [After all, after devouring so many worlds, this host is truly the sweetest. He appears handsome, sunny, charming, and polite, but deep inside, he houses a crazy beast. I really want to see him go crazy and throw caution to the wind. I like him so much that I can’t bear to eventually devour him.]

Chrysanthemum Garden.

009 detected the crack on 006’s surface and advised, [Your mouth is showing; retract it quickly.]

  vCLaj8

009: [Who knows, in the end, it might not be you devouring him, but him absorbing you. The same goes for me.]

006 floated up and spun around, and its mechanical voice suddenly became cheerful: [Oh, so what? After all, I’ve never experienced the feeling of being devoured and absorbed.]

  MSPyJY

Then, in this quiet dream world, its mechanical voice echoed, [In the end, everything is meant to be destroyed. Whether I die or he dies, it doesn’t make much of a difference. As long as the process is interesting, that’s all that matters. Hahaha~]

Mo Yang and Wan Mei exited the dream world and had a good night’s sleep. The next morning, when they woke up, Wan Mei didn’t cook breakfast. Instead, Mo Yang took him to a food street in the city to have breakfast. nOY51P

Although Wan Mei was quite picky about the breakfast ingredients and taste, Mo Yang managed to persuade him to try five soup dumplings and a bowl of freshly squeezed sweet soy milk.

After finishing their meal, the two of them sat on a bench by the roadside, basking in the sun. It was a sunny March morning, and their presence soon caught the attention of many passersby. Some daring girls even thought of taking photos with their phones or asking for contact numbers. However, suddenly, screams came from a nearby breakfast shop. rOjC6a

“Ah! Murder!”

Mo Yang’s eyes shot open, and he saw a middle-aged man in his forties rushing out of a breakfast shop with a sharp and sturdy knife in his hand, the blade covered in blood, making it look incredibly dangerous. 3Bkd6W

“Get out of my way!”

The middle-aged man was waving the knife and running in their direction. His target wasn’t Wan Mei and Mo Yang; he just happened to be heading towards the exit of the entire commercial street, apparently trying to escape. T2EimQ

However, when he ran past Mo Yang and Wan Mei, Mo Yang, who had been sitting with his legs crossed, suddenly extended one of his long legs. The middle-aged man didn’t expect anyone to hinder him at this moment and nearly tripped, but he managed to regain his balance. He then saw Mo Yang, who was now standing, and exclaimed, “You brat, you’re asking for trouble!”

The middle-aged man began swinging the knife as he charged toward them. In that instant, Mo Yang gave him a strong kick to the abdomen. The middle-aged man initially hesitated, but soon he continued to grin and wield the knife. His strength and vitality were several times higher than an average person’s, and one kick couldn’t stop him! Vm0xNR

But in the next second, the middle-aged man’s smile froze, and he incredulously covered his abdomen, staggering back and crashing into a tree by the roadside.

Then, Mo Yang prepared to subdue the player from the dream world. Suddenly, two young men in police uniforms arrived from different directions and handcuffed the middle-aged man directly. sGIzFE

Mo Yang noticed that the handcuffs used on the middle-aged man seemed different from the usual shiny stainless steel handcuffs he was familiar with. These handcuffs were a dull silver-gray color and had no reflection, giving them a dark appearance.

After the middle-aged man was restrained, one of the police officers walked up to Mo Yang, saluted him, and said, “Thank you for your assistance, sir. This was a suspect we’ve been tracking for a long time. He is a significant suspect in a murder and dismemberment case. He had been on the run for days, and we finally caught him today.” 1QxmAD

Mo Yang nodded. He believed that the middle-aged man had probably lost his disguise and resorted to impulsive actions like murder and fleeing. Fortunately, he didn’t use any more powerful dream world items, as it could have caused even more casualties.

After this incident, Mo Yang and Wan Mei couldn’t continue basking in the sun. They quickly left the scene, weaving through the crowd. Both Mo Yang and Wan Mei had Disguiser Cards, and their identities and information shouldn’t have been exposed. However, as soon as they returned to the research institute, Director Zhao Kuo approached them with a serious expression. LumP9n

“Was it you two involved in the incident on South Gate Street?”

Mo Yang grinned, “What incident? Wan Mei and I are both peace-loving people. We just had a meal; we didn’t do anything else.” Mo6XDF

After nearly a month of getting to know Wan Mei, Director Zhao had started to realize that there was more to his future daughter-in-law than met the eye. On the surface, he appeared gentle and polite, but he had a mischievous side. Most importantly, he could lie without batting an eyelid. As someone with keen observation skills, Director Zhao couldn’t detect any traces of deception when Mo Yang was lying.

“Don’t try to evade this; official documents have arrived from above. They are red-headed documents. Starting today, ‘secret experimental subjects’ will enter our Ninth Research Institute’s underground experimental area, and all researchers will begin a fully closed, top-secret experiment,” Director Zhao said with a seriousness he had never shown before. 

“The Ninth Research Institute has been in existence for nearly a hundred years, and this is only the second time that such a top-secret red-headed document has been issued. Every time this has happened before, it has brought about significant changes to the world. This is of the utmost importance, Wan Mei, and you will be the core researcher. The orders from above state that you will be fully responsible for this research. I suggest you have a little farewell talk with Bai Qing. Until the research results appear, you might not see each other again.” YBA iV

Wan Mei raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mo Yang. Mo Yang nodded.

It seemed that the government had finally recognized the existence of dream world players and their potential dangers. Even though they didn’t have a complete understanding of the dream world yet, the country had implemented corresponding countermeasures. FX7zNu

Shortly after Director Zhao finished speaking, he received a call from Long Xiang at the guard post. His expression became quite strange, and he looked at Mo Yang with some suspicion before saying, “Bai Qing, you and Wan Mei come with me to the First Meeting Room. Someone wants to speak directly with you.”

Mo Yang thought for a moment and said, “No, I think I might need your help.” f6EBZm

Wan Mei reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a beautifully intricate green leaf. Mo Yang laughed and took the leaf from him, holding it in his hand.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Five minutes later, Mo Yang saw a young military officer who appeared to be around thirty-five years old. He was well-groomed and had a strikingly handsome and refined appearance. He turned to face Mo Yang and exchanged a brief gaze before smiling. OnIm7o

“Mr. Mo Yang, I’ve heard of your name for a long time. I’m Cheng Shu, the Chief of Staff of the Military District’s Operations Department.”

“I’d like to have a deep conversation with Mr. Mo Yang. About that world.” DIiTRO

Mo Yang narrowed his eyes instantly. The man before him gave him immense pressure. Setting everything else aside, the man’s mental strength should be terrifying.

He casually pulled a chair over and sat down, saying, “There’s nothing much to discuss about the world. Talking about life and gossip is fine.” 2HTV4f

Cheng Shu paused for a second, then took a seat across from Mo Yang. He rested his gloved hands on his chin, and his eagle-like eyes fixed directly on Mo Yang.

“Then let’s talk about… life.” 1swlQD

Director Zhao: Wait, how did you suddenly start talking about life? What about the red document?!

Wan Mei: This is the world of clever people; you better come with me for research.
