【Host will appear in the dream of the Honorary Elder of the Star Pavilion (Shen Jiuyi) tonight. Based on the current situation, please select an appropriate dream type!】
【1. Online gaming battle—a master meets an even greater master!】
【2. Yaoyao’s birthday—a party with only three guests!】
【3. Late-night shopkeeping—the only customer in the winter snow!】
【4. Fate is the weakness—stargazing under the open sky, just the two of them!】
【5. None of the above, random dream!】
As expected.
The Dream Entry Technique never disappoints.
Out of the four dream types generated, the fourth one perfectly aligns with today’s events.
As for the other dream scenarios, bringing up anything related to "fate" would feel out of place.
After so many dream entries,
Lin Yu had already figured out the rules of dream collapse.
The most common scenario is when the "story" of the dream naturally concludes, leading to a peaceful end.
The second is when excessive tension or stimulation causes the dream world to collapse prematurely.
The third is when actions that defy the dream’s logic trigger the dreamer’s self-awareness, also leading to collapse.
With the patterns now clear,
the duration of the dream world had gradually extended in recent attempts.
【Ding!】
【Dream type confirmed. Please select the second participant for the dream...】
After finalizing the fourth dream choice,
Lin Yu turned his attention to the second participant in the 【Dual Version】.
His relationships with the "sect friends" in the apartment complex were progressing at varying speeds.
Having been reborn, Lin Yu yearned for a slower, more deliberate life.
Rather than chasing one after another, he preferred to take his time,
savoring life’s novelties and discovering new, interesting things.
Since there was no urgency to strengthen bonds with those he had prior arrangements with,
he decided to approach this second opportunity with a playful curiosity.
【Ding!】
【Host will appear in the dream of the Joyous Sect’s outer disciple (Cat Cat, Du Miaomiao) tonight. Based on the current situation, please select an appropriate dream type!】
【1. Infinite challenge—the frustration of repeated defeats!】
【2. Sect rules—the hidden intricacies of daily duties!】
【3. Revisiting Monkey Mountain—why are the monkeys talking?!】
【4. Top 100 hacker battle—joining forces to defend the terminal!】
【5. None of the above, random dream!】
Lin Yu: "..."
The personal life of the "Monkey-Slaying Cat" was truly dull.
Even the dream lottery couldn’t produce anything particularly enticing.
As a senior sect member, he couldn’t help but pity his junior.
But since the lottery was already drawn, there was no backing out.
Might as well go all-in on the randomness—
who knows, maybe a hidden gem would appear.
With a decisive resolve, Lin Yu selected the fifth option.
Dissatisfied! Spin again!
【Ding!】
【Random dream world generated!】
【Aunt Ruxue appears at the apartment, scaring Cat Cat into hiding!】
Lin Yu: "!!!"
This was impressive!
It even introduced a new character?
Aunt Ruxue!
He had heard this name from both Cat Cat and the Xia sisters.
Though he’d never met her,
he knew she was the "matriarch" who kept Cat Cat in line.
She also held significant influence in the hearts of the Xia sisters.
Back when they first discussed moving into the apartment...
Director Xia Xiashan immediately brought up "Aunt Ruxue" as her first move.
Clearly,
in her mind, this was like playing an "unbeatable" card.
Unfortunately,
she happened to run into Xia Yiwei, who flipped the table outright.
Where the mind goes, dreams follow.
The fact that this dream scenario was randomly selected also meant that the cat (Du Miaomiao) had been dwelling on this matter all along.
Scared the cat into playing hide-and-seek?
Is Aunt Ruxue really that terrifying?
In the past, after confirming the target of his dream infiltration,
Lin Yu would perform a nightly pre-sleep lottery.
This time,
he decided to wait until after the dream ended to proceed.
Who knows?
There might even be some extra rewards to be found within the dream world.
Driven by intense curiosity and anticipation for the two dream segments,
Lin Yu, aided by the sleep-inducing buff from Teacher Tang, quickly drifted off.
……
Before long,
Lin Yu found himself standing on a stretch of lush green grass.
The wilderness… was so damn wild!
Did it really have to be like this?
No matter which direction he looked from his starting point,
all he saw was an endless sea of green.
Despite it being nighttime, it strangely felt like broad daylight.
Since when were the stars this bright?
Aside from the sky full of twinkling stars serving as the light source, there was nothing else illuminating the scene.
So this was Shen Jiuyi’s dream world!
Lin Yu stood still, scanning his surroundings: "……"
What the hell!
Where’s Shen Jiuyi?
Hiding in the grass, is she?
Even with Lin Yu’s superhuman vision, he couldn’t spot her at all!
Luckily,
Lin Yu also had superhuman hearing.
"Rustle… rustle… rustle…"
From the seven o’clock direction behind him came faint sounds of movement.
The noise wasn’t particularly loud, but in the otherwise silent environment, it stood out sharply.
Once Lin Yu pinpointed the direction, he took a step forward.
As soon as his foot landed, the rustling in the grass grew louder.
Lin Yu: "？？？"
Was she… running away?
Hiding from him?
"Shen Jiuyi? Where are you hiding?"
Lin Yu stopped and called out, testing his theory.
After his shout,
the grassland fell completely silent again, devoid of any movement.
But the moment Lin Yu took another step forward,
the rustling resumed.
Lin Yu: "……"
This was definitely her avoiding him!
After all the effort he’d just put into crafting a noble and heroic image—wasted!
In Shen Jiuyi’s subconscious, he was still the "monster" who alone knew her secret!
Run?
Well, let’s see who’s faster—someone crawling or someone walking.
"Shen Jiuyi? Where are you?"
"Didn’t we agree to stargaze together?"
"Why can’t I see you anywhere?"
As he spoke, Lin Yu quickened his pace.
Once he got closer,
he could finally make out Shen Jiuyi, desperately crawling through the grass with her head down.
At that moment,
Shen Jiuyi, scrambling on her hands and knees, was in a state of utter panic.
Had she been the one to invite Lin Yu?
If he said so, then… probably?
With her current personality—no, her fate!
Nothing she did should come as a surprise.
Maybe she’d unconsciously… "lured" Lin Yu in?
Ah, such is destiny.
As she crawled, an obstacle suddenly appeared ahead.
Shen Jiuyi looked up—
only to meet Lin Yu’s amused gaze head-on.
"Little Jiu, where else can you run?"
……
