Chapter 68: Dream Core Space 68
Lan Tong asked: "You mean I have to complete the task of advancing the plot here?"

If everyone in this scene has his or her own story to follow, it means that everyone is a constant, and only Lan Tong, the outsider, is a variable.

"may be……"

Lu Li wasn't sure either. She thought about it and felt like her headache was about to explode.

"Okay Lan Tong, don't ask me about this kind of brain-intensive stuff in the future."

Lan Tong was speechless: "Why don't you just say you have no brains?"

Everyone in the Internet cafe was continuing with their own things, some were playing games, some were chatting, only Dong Qiqi was still sitting on the ground crying.

And there was no intention of getting up at all.

Lan Tong felt like she was in a weird script. Everything was fixed, and she was just a gear that pushed the plot forward.

Everything we see seems to indicate that Dong Qiqi is the key to breaking the impasse.

Lan Tong was silent for a moment, then walked up to Dong Qiqi, half-knelt down and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

She was pretending to be an innocent passerby.

Dong Qiqi wiped the tears from her face and said aggrievedly: "They...they bullied me..."

Of course Lan Tong knew, but at this time she was very professional and pretended to be surprised, saying: "How could that be, aren't you friends? I just saw you playing games together."

The children nearby also noticed Lan Tong. The one in white quickly ran over, pulled Lan Tong's clothes and said, "Sister, ignore him. He always touches us when we play games, which makes us lose every time."

The child in white was very strong, and he looked like he was going to pull Lan Tong to their side.

Lan Tong pulled back her clothes with some disdain, ignored him, and continued to ask Dong Qiqi: "Is that so?"

Dong Qiqi shook his head frantically. He had been crying for too long, and his throat was choked and he kept hiccuping when he was anxious, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"No, no... I, I didn't mean to... It was him! He bumped into me on purpose!"

Seeing that he couldn't pull Lan Tong, the child in white simply stood in front of Lan Tong with his hands on his hips, pointing at Dong Qiqi and laughing at her.

"Who bumped into you? Don't talk nonsense, there's not a single word of truth in your mouth! Crybaby! Liar!"

Dong Qiqi's mood was originally better, but after being mocked by the child in white again, she broke down and burst into tears.

The child in white smiled smugly and said to Lan Tong, "Sister, don't pay attention to him. He is a liar. We all know it. If he hadn't been pestering us all the time, we wouldn't want to play with him! He always lies!"

A few children who were playing games nearby seemed to have finished their games and turned around to join in.

The red-dressed kid took the lead: "Yeah, don't believe him. He's terrible at playing games and always bullies us because his family is rich. Every time we come to the internet cafe, he plays the longest! How dare he say we bully him? What a liar!"

The other kids started to make a noise.

"Liar!"

"Liar!"

"..."

As they were talking, the kids suddenly rushed over and surrounded Dong Qiqi, circling around him in various ways as if to mock him, shouting "liar" as they went along.

This scene seems like dropping a handkerchief, but it is not.

The group of children were as excited as if they were having a carnival, and the cruel words they said sounded as cruel as if they were executing someone.

Lan Tong glanced around and saw that no one else in the Internet cafe moved. They seemed to be immersed in their own world and didn't notice what was happening here at all.

The child in white pulled Lan Tong towards them, as if he wanted to take Lan Tong away completely and isolate Dong Qiqi completely.

Seeing this, the other children swarmed over and completely surrounded Lan Tong, pulling or pushing her, trying to pull her away from Dong Qiqi.

Lan Tong immediately distanced herself from them and said, "Just talk, don't touch me." Dong Qiqi sat on the ground, looking at her pitifully, with tears rolling down her chubby little face.

"Sister, please believe me, I really didn't lie."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the children around him drowned him out with even louder voices.

"Liar! Liar!..."

The sound of countless children shouting together exploded around my ears, as if a few evil ghosts were chasing me and shouting at me.

Keep shouting...

Lan Tong's fist slowly clenched, and even Lu Li in the space could feel the sudden surge of irritability in Lan Tong's emotions.

As they kept repeating themselves, Lan Tong finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Shut up!!"

When one sound stops, all other sounds cease.

Lan Tong shook off the white child's hand, walked through the crowd, and decisively stood next to Dong Qiqi in the surprised gazes of countless children.

Dong Qiqi widened his eyes in great surprise and stared at Lan Tong in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that Lan Tong would be willing to choose him.

The other children's faces instantly turned cold, and their dark eyes were filled with cold resentment.

"Are you sure you want to stand beside him and become our enemy?" the red-clothed kid asked coldly.

Lan Tong smiled contemptuously: "Why? Do I need to fill out an application to become your enemy?"

"That's not necessary."

When the child in red said this, he didn't act like a child at all.

"Now that you are standing next to Dong Qiqi, we are enemies."

Lan Tong: "Everyone can see this, so you don't need to say it out loud for everyone to hear, okay?"

Dong Qiqi pulled Lan Tong's clothes and said reluctantly, "Sister...are you really not afraid of them? They are very good at playing games..."

"It's okay. I'm pretty good at fighting."

Lan Tong reluctantly patted his shoulder with the back of her hand.

The red-dressed kid snorted coldly, pointed at Dong Qiqi and shouted, "Stop pretending to be pitiful here, if you have the guts, come fight me one on one!"

Dong Qiqi looked at him, then at Lan Tong, lowered her head and was silent for a long time. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she stood in front of Lan Tong and said, "I have used all my money to recharge your internet bill. Give me back the money and I will fight you in a one-on-one match."

Lan Tong: "So your duel is... playing games?"

"Yes." The red-clothed kid said, "We all rely on games to fight one-on-one. Who wants to fight now?"

After that, he said to Dong Qiqi: "Isn't your family rich? Go home and ask your mother for it. How can you have the nerve to ask for it back when you gave it to me?"

Lan Tong didn't want to intervene in the fight between the children because she felt it was a waste of her talent as a pianist to use it in quarreling with them.

"Why should you feel embarrassed? That money was originally his. You had the nerve to not give it to him. Why can't he take it back?"

Seeing this, the kid in red started to act like a spoiled brat.

"Then I don't care. If you want to fight me, you can figure it out on your own. Anyway, I will definitely not let you use this computer."

As he spoke, Lan Tong suddenly remembered the limited-time props given by the system. She guessed that the five dollars was used for her to go online.
