Mo Yang doesn’t care about losing face. His father once taught him that a successful entrepreneur doesn’t need to worry about appearances. Although neither Mo Yang nor his father fully embodied this principle, they have made progress.
However, after selling 40 lettuce leaves, Mo Yang suddenly asked his neighbor, whose life value was low: “What are you going to do with these lettuce leaves? Are you even capable of cooking?!”
Wan Mei didn’t find it surprising at all that he could cook, and he glanced at Mo Yang. “What else would I do with them? Slice them up and study them?”
Mo Yang thought of his two failed attempts at cooking, and incredulously looked Wan Mei up and down: “Are you even capable of handling a knife? Can you even lift a pan?”
With your weak physique, you think you can be a cook? You’re insulting the size and strength of cooks!
Mo Yang’s skeptical expression was not concealed at all, and Wan Mei almost laughed in anger.
“Classmate Yang Heigou, can you use your brain a bit more? This is a dream world. In short, it’s a place where you can imagine anything with your mind. The Guides told you from the beginning that you are the Creator and can do anything you want. So, do you really need to use your hands to cook?”
Mo Yang looked at him suspiciously.
Wan Mei simply opened the door and let him into his small wooden house.
At the moment Mo Yang stepped inside, 009 and 006, who had been hiding beside him, started fighting again.
Mo Yang rolled his eyes and couldn’t be bothered to intervene.
Then he saw Wan Mei, whose life value was only 10, sitting casually at the dining table. He hadn’t done anything, but the pots, bowls, and utensils on the side suddenly started moving on their own, as if being grabbed by invisible hands, and began the familiar process of washing, cutting, and stir-frying the vegetables in the pan with great skill.
“…… You can play like this?!!” Mo Yang exclaimed in disbelief for a while.
Then the beautifully cooked lettuce was invisibly placed on the table by an unseen hand.
Wan Mei looked at Mo Yang with a hint of smugness, pointing to her temple with her slender fingers: “As a neighbor and tablemate, let me give you a tip. Here, your mental power determines everything, not your physical abilities. Think about why your guide chose to follow you, with a high-ranking number. It’s impossible to choose a weakling.”
Mo Yang narrowed his eyes. Then he seemed to understand a lot of things all at once, things that he had previously overlooked as crucial.
“Tsk, I almost fell into the trap.”

Obviously, using mental power to control everything is possible in the dream world, but at the same time, it is extremely draining. He had already used up 1 point of mental power just by picking up a plate, but the seemingly weak guy in front of him had used mental power to cook a plate of lettuce!! How much mental power did he have to expend?
“May I ask how much mental power you have?” Mo Yang asked cautiously.
Wan Mei leaned back in her chair, smirking. “It’s a secret. But I can tell you that cooking this plate of lettuce cost me 5 points of mental power.”
“Then, I can earn 500 Dream Coins. This plate of lettuce can restore 10 health points and has a shelf life of 2 days.”
Mo Yang: “……”
“But the value of stir-fried lettuce is average. I previously bought a tomato and two eggs, cooked a plate of tomato and egg stir-fry, and sold it for 1500 Dream Coins. That plate of tomato and egg stir-fry can restore 30 health points and provides a state of pleasure, it can be considered a masterpiece. Unfortunately, there are no eggs available for sale recently.”
Mo Yang: “……” So, the rich fool who bought tomatoes for 50 Dream Coins earlier was you?
Wan Mei looked at the young man across from him whose expression was getting darker and felt even better. He hadn’t seen that envious and jealous look since he became a “vegetative person” lying in bed. For this reason, he didn’t mind showing off again: “If you check the rich list in the dream world, I am currently ranked third.”
Mo Yang: “…” That’s enough, you can shut up now. Otherwise, I’ll pick up a stool and rob you.
Seeing that his neighbor and tablemate was about to explode, Wan Mei planned to console him perfunctorily. There are always times when people have differences between geniuses and ordinary people. Wan Mei then saw his neighbor and tablemate take a deep breath and stood up decisively.
“Thanks for today. Consider me owing you a favor. I’ll repay you in the future.”
“I have something important to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Wan Mei looked up at him and saw the bright and stunning phoenix eyes, filled with self-confidence and determination. He paused for a moment, as if he had realized something, and felt even better: “See you tomorrow.”
Mo Yang raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: “See you tomorrow.”
Mo Yang quickly left Wan Mei’s house and headed straight to the fishing grounds at the Purple Micro Manor. 006 followed behind his host with its battered and bruised spherical body, weakly asking: [Host, it’s already midnight, why are you still fishing?]
Mo Yang chuckled: “Nothing much, just checking how my hobby of fishing in the real world translates to the dream world.”
If his guess was correct, then he wouldn’t be lacking any Level 1 Invisibility Card.
006 was puzzled, but somehow it had a feeling that it was about to witness a miracle.
During the fight, it heard 009 crying and laughing at its host, saying how amazing and eccentric its own host was, making it both happy and in pain, feeling like it was about to split into two.
006 thought that although its host was smart, it still followed the rules in the dream world. But now, inexplicably, it was a bit afraid that its host would slap its own face. It always felt like after its host had contact with 009’s host, some strange switch was about to be turned on!!
Then, 006 heard its host asking it.
“Are the fish species in the dream world the same as in the real world? Are there any magical creatures like mermaids or golden dragons?”
[Ah, of course, the dream world is even more amazing! You can catch all kinds of fish from the real world in the dream world, and besides that, as long as your fishing level is high, you can catch even bigger, more useful, and more powerful magical fish! Mermaids, of course, can also be caught!] 006 replied.
[As long as you can imagine it, the dream world can make it happen!]
Mo Yang smiled. Five minutes later, he caught a common carp weighing one catty and two taels.
Another five minutes passed, and he caught a big grass carp weighing six catties and four taels.
Five minutes later, a bass weighing two catties and seven taels took the bait.
Then followed by crayfish, river crab, catfish, and blackfish, one by one getting hooked.
In the end, 006 stared in amazement as his host seemed to have suddenly activated a cheat code, pulling out an old wooden box from the lake. He opened the box and took out a piece of dog head gold and… a bright red dream world card that shone brightly in the dark!
[I, I, I, I, f***! Host!!!! What’s wrong with you? How can you catch so many fish all at once, and even get a card? This is not scientific/realistic!]
Mo Yang, carrying a bucket of fish and shrimp, and with dog head gold and a level one red transformation card in his pocket, smiled naturally: “Fishing? I’ve won professional-level competitions before. And what’s wrong with catching a box? I’ve even caught corpses in the real world. Don’t be so surprised.”
006 was going crazy. The thrill of making a lot of money at such a speed, and the sudden and inexplicable power of the host, seemed to challenge the world, making it feel both ecstatic and painful, just as 009 had described. It’s really… Ahhh so conflicted!
After fishing for two hours, Mo Yang’s remaining mental power was depleted to only one point.
At this moment, he once again felt that splitting headache and the screaming nerves, the aftermath of excessive use of mental power. During nearly one month of fleeing, he was almost surrounded by this feeling every day.
After entering the dream world, Mo Yang seemed to be suddenly at ease, even though he reminded himself every day not to get addicted. The dream world was too peaceful and powerful, making him instinctively want to enjoy it.
Mo Yang gritted his teeth and hung the seven fish, shrimp, and crabs he had caught on the player-to-player trading market, quickly earning 3300 dream coins.
He glanced at the open computer leaderboard and found that he had entered the top 100 of the rich list. So he smiled, knowing that from now on, as long as he wanted, he could quickly climb to the top ten or even higher on the leaderboard.
He looked up at the top three rankings, which were “Richard: 15880 dream coins”: “Abraham: 12350 dream coins”, and “Mei BaiWan: 9999 dream coins”.
Mo Yang stared at the name “Mei BaiWan” for a while before closing his eyes and going to sleep.
Mei BaiWan, Wan Mei. Purple Microcosm Manor. Doctoral supervisor. Very low health points. Maybe add excellent cooking skills.
He thought that if he was lucky, he could find out who this person really was in the real world by tomorrow afternoon.
And then? Hehe, let’s see when the time comes.
Author’s note:
Yang Heigou: Hehehehe, I’m a rich man now, and I can soon uncover someone’s pseudonym!!
Mei BaiWan: … Besides my current poor health and inability to make big moves, I really don’t have any flaws.
Of course, perfectionism, indifference, sarcasm, being carefree, having a broad perspective, and constantly testing the boundaries of crime are not flaws, but rather personality traits. And, I’m also really good at cooking. Choose me, I’m super sweet!
Hahaha, um, the structure of this story is a bit big, so it may be slow to develop, and there will be a dream world interspersed in the game, so dear readers, please be patient.
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
