Wen XiaoYun’s dream world was very strange.
To say the least, Zhuang Zhou has never seen anyone else’s dreams like this before.
When other people dreamt, their consciousness was very scattered, wandering around randomly, doing whatever came to mind, or doing whatever you wanted them to do.
Why do dreams seem so surreal to people? Even when there’s something going on, why would it seem completely random and without any logic at all?
This is because inside a dream, the development of events can shift anytime due to changes in the person’s subconscious.
In the many of the dreams that Zhuang Zhou visited before, he only needed to say a few things to change the basic structure of the person’s dream and make this person follow his own train of thought.
Only Wen XiaoYun.
Even in a dream, this person’s thoughts and goals were extremely clear and distinct……
To say it another way: Not easy to trick.
Zhuang Zhou entered Wen XiaoYun’s dream with a sense of familiarity and ease. Wen XiaoYun wasn’t doing anything in his dream, just sitting inside the main control room, gazing at the door like he was waiting for something.
When Zhuang Zhou entered, Wen XiaoYun’s gaze directly landed on Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou stopped walking. He had a kind of feeling like Wen XiaoYun was waiting specifically for him.
A kind of feeling that made Zhuang Zhou suspect once again that perhaps Wen XiaoYun knew he was capable of entering people’s dreams.
He immediately felt a bit guilty and asked Wen XiaoYun in a small voice: “Are you waiting for me?”
Wen XiaoYun looked at him calmly: “En, I’m waiting for you.”
Zhuang Zhou’s eyes widened: “You knew I was coming?”
He wouldn’t really know, right?!
Of course Wen XiaoYun knew. He was very clear that he was dreaming right now.
He also remembered the words he said before he fell asleep.
Even though the answer was right on the tip of his tongue, he said calmly instead: “No, I didn’t.”
Zhuang Zhou let out a small breath of relief. Then he became extremely suspicious: “Then why did you say you were waiting for me? Like you knew you’d see me in your dream……”
Wen XiaoYun said: “Because I wanted to dream of you.”
Zhuang Zhou opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then swallowed it back down again.
He looked at Wen XiaoYun. The other’s gaze was calm and deep, looking at Zhuang Zhou with a patient and focused expression.
It took him a while before Zhuang Zhou finally muttered quietly: “It’s, it’s not like you believe in God. Why do you want to dream of me all day……”
Wen XiaoYun said: “Do I need to believe to dream of you?”
Zhuang Zhou thought carefully. Because he was still an intern, he actually also didn’t know if he could grant followers dreams frequently.
However, he’s heard previously that other Gods would only appear and meet their followers in person when encountering a really devoted and super pious believer who had very strong wishes.
Otherwise, they’d only grant dreams at the initial stage of customer development……
Zhuang Zhou said with uncertainty: “Well…… I don’t really know this either.”
Wen XiaoYun said: “Can God really fulfill everyone’s wishes?”
Zhuang Zhou said: “It depends on what kind of wish. Most of the time, it’s possible. En…… do you also have a wish?”
Wen XiaoYun: “Yes.”

Zhuang Zhou’s eyes lit up. He secretly wanted to steal the Wishing God’s job again.

Itejcu Itbe tjralis jrxfv: “Qtja lr sbeg klrt?”
Wen XiaoYun said: “To dream of you everyday.”
Zhuang Zhou: “…….”
Strangely, he felt his face burn a little.
Why was Wen XiaoYun this strange?
What kind of wish was this……
Wen XiaoYun said: “Do you think my wish will come true?”
Zhuang Zhou said dryly: “Prob, probably……”
Ai.
What else can he do?
The High God said before: What was the ultimate purpose of having the Eastern region Wealth Gods learn 300 of the 360 skills of life?
— To satisfy the requests of all of the potential customers, steal away all of the believers, so the other Gods won’t have any believers left to gain!
Zhuang Zhou clenched his fists. To take down the potential customer, Wen XiaoYun, he only needed to grant him dreams everyday!
He’ll do it!
Wen XiaoYun’s thin lips curved upwards faintly into a smile.
Seeing the youth’s slightly blushing face, he stopped asking this and changed the topic directly.
“Where’s the little robot that you made?”
Zhuang Zhou took out his little robot and gave it to Wen XiaoYun.
Although this was a dream, it was also a dream he created using diving powers. Everything can be created inside it using his imagination.
He gave the little robot to Wen XiaoYun for inspection.
The robot was 100% authentic, just like how it looked in reality.
Because it was assembled from spare components found from garbage piles, its outer appearance looked the same as Xiao PoLan, also very worn-out and in pieces.
However, Wen XiaoYun discovered the difference as soon as it activated.
Zhuang Zhou installed a voice system into this little robot. Therefore the little robot can speak.
However, vocal robots weren’t anything rare. Right now, all of the robots have voice systems.
When Wen XiaoYun created Xiao PoLan, he was only considering its ability to scan for mechanical components. A voice system was non-essential, so naturally he chose not to bother with it.
What made Wen XiaoYun flabbergasted was that the little robot that Zhuang Zhou made seemed to be the same as Xiao PoLan, both having self-awareness.
The little robot was especially smart. Other than its outer appearance, it seemed completely like a person.
Zhuang Zhou introduced it to Wen XiaoYun with eyebrows curved: “It’s very smart, just like Xiao PoLan. It’s also very strong. I added a weight bearing device on its body. It can lift anything that doesn’t surpass 50kg, very suited for mining in the quarry.”
“The energy stone that it uses won’t emit energy radiation. That’s been completely blocked off. Only its master can control it so there’s no need to worry about backstabbing. After recognizing a master, it’s incapable of betraying them.”
Of course, in actuality, there were still differences between this robot and Xiao PoLan.
Xiao PoLan was given life and transformed into a demon. It classified as a kind of intelligent living being.
However, this robot that he created only had the ability to learn and evolve. In addition, psychic powers were used to control it.
Once it recognized a master, psychic powers would connect it to its master. By that time, the robot won’t need hands to manually operate it, and it won’t need programming.
After Wen XiaoYun finished hearing Zhuang Zhou’s explanation, he remained composed and unperturbed externally. However, his insides were churning like great waves and shaking like earthquakes.
Did this little friend know what he was saying?
Operating the robot using psychic powers……
Be it designing mechas or robots, this was the ultimate, life-long dream that all master engineers hoped to achieve, even the #1 mecha creator in the Empire, Ge LuEn.
However, it was extremely hard to create mechas with neural connections . A human’s mental world was also very complicated and constantly changing. Adding in the danger of becoming contaminated by energy radiation, this dream was quite difficult to achieve.
His mecha, Wo Si, was known to be one of the strongest mechas in the entire universe. Wo Si was very intelligent, far surpassing all the other mechas. It can make decisions and adjustments automatically, in addition to possessing very strong and terrifying power.
However, it still didn’t change the fact that someone needed to operate it manually.
Without manual control, it was only a very smart robot that can only display half of its real power.
Manual control was unavoidable.
However, if psychic powers could be used to operate the mecha directly, errors created from the lapse between physical reaction and mental thought process can be avoided.
Wen XiaoYun slowly said: “So, the reason why Xiao PoLan became so intelligent was because of you?”
Hearing this, Zhuang Zhou lowered his eyes, feeling a bit guilty.
Wen XiaoYun asked: “How come you said it was me at first?”
It really made him believe that Xiao PoLan was able to upgrade automatically.
That he had misjudged his own engineering skills; that he was actually pretty amazing……
Zhuang Zhou didn’t answer, his head lowering even more so.
Because when Xiao PoLan was given life, he didn’t know that he was in space yet.
On Earth, the existence of demons wasn’t allowed after the establishment of the modern society. Abnormal things were considered supernatural. He didn’t dare to admit that he had brought Xiao PoLan to life and changed it into a demon.
After spending some time in this intergalactic era, Zhuang Zhou discovered that intergalactic civilizations were much more complicated than he had imagined. It had plenty of intelligent lifeforms. Humans were actually one of the most ordinary amongst them.
So to give a robot a sense of self-awareness…… shouldn’t be something too special.
That’s why this time, he confidently carried the robot he made to find Wen XiaoYun instead.
Zhuang Zhou secretly raised his head to glance at Wen XiaoYun. Unexpectedly their gazes crossed immediately.
Zhuang Zhou touched his nose and asked quietly: “Will you get angry?”
Wen XiaoYun shook his head: “No.”
Zhuang Zhou finally said slowly: “I was afraid you’d think it strange.”
Considering how they were in a dream right now and Wen XiaoYun would forget everything when waking up tomorrow, Zhuang Zhou decided to speak the truth.
Wen XiaoYun rubbed Zhuang Zhou on the head: “You’re right.”
The youth’s ability was special. To hide it and not divulge it was the proper way of protecting himself.
If he didn’t hide it, Wen XiaoYun would have helped him hide it instead.
Seeing that not only did Wen XiaoYun not get angry, Wen XiaoYun even said that what he did was correct, Zhuang Zhou felt: Wen XiaoYun was really too wonderful!
He happily shared with Wen XiaoYun: “After Vice-admiral Cheng said he didn’t want the little robot, I listed it on the galactic web. It’s already been sold!”
Wen XiaoYun froze: “Sold?”
Zhuang Zhou said: “That’s right. What’s the matter?”
Wen XiaoYun: “…….”
A super intelligent robot that can be controlled with psychic powers…… sold just like this?
Wen XiaoYun suddenly wanted to curse Cheng JinXue out.
He slowly exhaled a breath: “That’s wonderful. Zhou Zhou is so amazing.”
Receiving praise, Zhuang Zhou smiled radiantly, brows curving.
Wen XiaoYun secretly calculated. Right now they’re on the abandoned planet. Zhou Zhou must have not delivered the goods yet. Tomorrow he needs to investigate who bought this robot and ask them if they can resell it.
If it’s not possible, then there was really nothing he could do about it, other than letting the buyer off easy this time.
The 3rd Legion wasn’t pirates. Even though it’s unfortunate that the little robot was sold, they couldn’t seize it back forcibly.
Negatively impacting the little friend’s experience in running an online store was even less worth it.
In the end, this was still because of Cheng JinXue.
With the mindset of training with Cheng JinXue immediately after waking up tomorrow, Wen XiaoYun opened his eyes and woke up.
After waking up, Wen XiaoYun immediately felt something didn’t seem right.
He seemed to be holding something in his arms, very hard.
At this moment, the video communicator lit up in the room, carrying over Cheng JinXue’s extremely loud voice.
“Zhou Zhou, are you awake? Little Zhou Zhou, gege came to find you!”
Cheng JinXue’s voice was extremely loud, so noisy that Wen XiaoYun’s mental world started hurting again.
He subconsciously pressed the button next to the bed, allowing Cheng JinXue inside.
“Little Zhou Zhou, big brother came to…… oh fck, Boss. What are you doing here?”
Eyes wide, Cheng JinXue looked incredulously at Wen XiaoYun.
Wen XiaoYun acknowledged him with an “en”: “Slept here last night.”
As he spoke, he got up. Immediately afterwards, he felt something didn’t seem right again.
The thing that he was holding in his arms, the hard thing, fell out.
It was a gold and shiny Divine Image with a good-looking face extremely similar to Zhuang Zhou.
This time, not only did Cheng JinXue’s eyes open wide, his jaw almost dropped to the floor.
“Bo, boss. Why are you……. Why were you hugging the statue of little Zhou Zhou’s dad in your sleep??”
Wen XiaoYun: “…….”
Cheng JinXue’s expression was extremely complicated: “Boss, I thought you liked Zhou Zhou. Who would have imagined…… you actually liked little Zhou Zhou’s dad?”
Wen XiaoYun: “………………………………..”
