Chapter 238 Disaster Simulation
After listening to Alice's story, Wang Xi immediately realized that the "strange dream" she described was most likely a summons from Wonderland to the girl.

Her sister Dorothy was sent to Wonderland through this very summoning.

The only difference between the two is their form. Dorothy's summoning was a tornado that appeared out of nowhere, while Alice's was a dream...

"Alice, that was no ordinary dream."

Wang Xi looked at the girl, his tone calm.

Upon hearing this, Alice was slightly taken aback: "Not an ordinary dream? Does Mr. Kai know something about it?"

Wang Xi nodded.

He speculated that Alice and Dorothy, like Godariel and Pinocchio, were likely key figures in fairy tales, possessing a certain uniqueness.

Even if he didn't intervene in the original development trajectory, Alice and Dorothy would have gone to Wonderland sooner or later, embarked on an adventure, and quickly grown into powerful beings with limitless potential.

"Your dream is very likely related to a magical place called 'Fairyland'."

"Wonderland?" Alice murmured to herself, her eyes somewhat blank.

“That’s right.” Wang Xi continued, “Fairyland doesn’t exist in reality. There are magical creatures and kingdoms there… Most people in this world have never been there, or even heard of it.”

"Has Mr. Nagai been there?"

Alice asked curiously.

Wang Xi shook his head: "Only a very few lucky people can be summoned by it, and unfortunately I am not one of them..."

He looked into the girl's eyes and smiled, "Alice, but you are different... You and your sister Dorothy are both lucky ones."

Alice instinctively looked away from the young man's direct gaze, but she quickly realized something and looked back with surprise: "Mr. Kai, you mean, Dorothy went to Wonderland?!"

"Mm." Wang Xi nodded.

"Will she be in danger?" Alice asked worriedly.

"Sorry, I don't know."

Wang Xi answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Alice's worry deepened. After hesitating for a few seconds, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to Wonderland to find Dorothy..."

"Do you need me to go with you?"

Wang Xi sat on the wooden box and asked casually.

"Although I cannot receive the call of Wonderland, I can enter it together through your dream."

Alice was taken aback.

She looked at the young man and asked softly, "Mr. Kai, are you... worried about me?"

"I finally managed to rescue you from the mental hospital, I can't just stand by and watch you get lost in Wonderland."

Wang Xi smiled.

"Moreover, I am also very curious about fairyland."

Alice sensed the sincerity in the reply, which warmed her heart. She nodded and said, "Um... thank you."

...

...

That night.

The camp finally quieted down, with only the light footsteps of the patrolmen and the occasional sounds of animals remaining.

In the small trailer temporarily assigned to Wang Xi, Godaril was not sleepy at all.

During this time, Polina and Alice frequently appeared around Kai, making her feel a strong sense of crisis.

Godaril's possessiveness grew wildly like vines. She didn't say a word, but like a swift and stubborn mother leopard in the night, she pounced on Wang Xi as he prepared to rest.

Unlike her reserved demeanor during the day, she displayed a strong sense of aggression, cupping Kai's face and kissing him passionately and directly.

They even pushed the other person to the side of the makeshift bed in the carriage.

Wang Xi was taken aback at first, but then he sensed the panic hidden beneath Cinderella's intense movements.

Instead of pushing her away, he paused briefly, then wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and returned her kiss.

Wang Xi knew very well that Godard was reacting to stress.

They need to be comforted.

The temperature inside the carriage rose rapidly.

There were no luxurious and comfortable beds, only simple mattresses and thin blankets that smelled of straw.

Godaril was very strong, even somewhat impatient... as if she wanted to squeeze out all the unpleasant things she had seen and heard during the day.

“Kai,” Cinderella’s breath was hot, her voice low, “I’m hungry, so very hungry…”

After a soft sound.

Godaril abruptly covered her mouth, but still couldn't help letting out a short scream, her eyes gradually becoming glazed over.

The night deepened.

...

...

Wang Xi looked at the girl beside him, her hair disheveled and fast asleep, gently tucked her in, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Good night."

He kissed the other person's forehead.

They heard Godaril muttering something in her dazed state.

"The gear-shaped brand has been removed!"

Current corruption progress: 550/700

Godaril's love was intense tonight; she made frequent demands and eventually even rolled her eyes and fell asleep.

This reduced the degree of corruption from 630 to 550.

'It's time to go.'

Wang Xi said inwardly.

'Return, Caius.'

As he gave the order.

One's own consciousness is instantly detached from the world of fairy tales.

Projection hosted

World: Fairy Tale

Exploration: 25.6%

"Legend Level: 60 (You have made a name for yourself in the Clockwork Kingdom of the Eastern Continent. The rebel army 'Blue Butterfly' values ​​you highly, and the Elder Council has also learned of your existence and regards you as a formidable enemy.)"

"Seclusion Preview: You rescue Alice from the Marquez Asylum and hide her in the rebel circus camp."

"One day, Alice had that strange dream again. Through her dream, you took Godariel and Pinocchio to Wonderland."

"However, the four of you encountered a storm the moment you entered the fairyland, which forced you to separate and fall to different locations."

"You find yourself in a dreamlike, dense forest, where you encounter rabbit residents being exploited by playing card soldiers."

"You saved this rabbit, and the other party warmly introduced you to the 'Rabbit Gentleman,' who is one of the organizers of the tea party."

According to the gentleman, the "Crazy Tea Party" is specifically for real-life guests, especially the "protagonists" predicted by the Sage of Insects.

"The Rabbit Gentleman couldn't see through you, so he took you to see the Insect Sage. The Sage was very surprised and said that you were the 'protagonist' who was not in the prophecy, and invited you to a tea party."

"But before that, you need to find another 'protagonist,' Alice..."

"She fell into the territory of the Red Queen, one of the three kings of the chessboard kingdom, and was arrested and imprisoned as a spy. She is about to be beheaded and displayed to the public."

Wang Xi opened his eyes.

He sat up from the large bed in the student villa.

"Um……"

He rubbed his temples and pondered for a moment.

According to the projected future trajectory, Alice will encounter a storm on her way to Wonderland due to his intervention and influence, and thus fall into the Red Queen's territory.

Goddariel and Pinocchio were also scattered as a result.

'This seems to be something that can't be avoided...'

Wang Xi said secretly.

He led his people into Wonderland through Alice's dream, which was against the rules of entry. Perhaps this is why some mechanism was triggered, causing the storm to occur.

In other words, the four of them are destined to separate no matter what.

'We'll see when the time comes... Anyway, we'll have to come into contact with the various forces in the Fairy Realm sooner or later.'

Wang Xi thought for a moment and took out his phone.

It is 5:30 a.m. on October 1st, and the sky outside the window is just beginning to lighten.

The Kunwu Rankings have been updated today.

The morning class was a "Disaster Response Simulation Class," which offered points as a reward, and Wang Xi didn't want to miss it.

But it's still early, so he plans to draw from all the gacha pools in his mind first.

In his mind, more than twenty orbs of light floated in front of the narrow rift, originating from the corrupted wolf guards of McCauley Town, the mining magnate, and the armed forces under Baron Marquez Ivan.

However, the gains from this trip to another world weren't great. Wang Xi was too strong, and the benefits of easily defeating weaker opponents were significantly reduced.

There are a total of 21 green, 1 dark green and 1 blue.

'Caus, extract them all.'

Wang Xi issued the order.

"Consume 2300 energy points (55930 remaining)"

buzzing-

A bright light shone in his mind, and 23 cards, arranged in order, floated in front of him.

Upon inspection, it was found that most of them were clockwork technology-related equipment cards and item cards, such as "γ-Alert Armor - Guardian", "Isaac Electromagnetic Rifle", "Isaac Alloy Steel", and "Jet-Powered Backpack".

The only dark green and blue cards are "Top Secret Spring (Dark Green Item Card)" and "Laser Cutter (Blue Equipment Card)" respectively.

"Huh?" Wang Xi exclaimed in surprise as he held the two high-quality color cards.

He discovered that "springs" could be mounted on mechs to add explosive jumping capabilities, greatly increasing their mobility.

The "laser cutter" is very small, about the size of a flashlight. It was originally one of the core modules of the mining machine tycoon, but now it has been revealed.

Both cards can be used by Ruri. The "Spring" card can be attached to the damaged "Onion Armor," while the "Laser Cutter" can function as a lightsaber, replacing the original "Cupid's Chainsaw."

Wang Xi thought.

These two cards are quite powerful, and they also save you the expense of buying equipment.

As for the other green cards, they were all bundled together and, along with the idle colored cards produced from the previous "Ink Sword Studio" card pool, registered on the trading platform for sale.

Kunwu Camp does not prohibit trainees from going out, and does not even require full attendance. Whether or not to attend classes is entirely up to the trainees' wishes... In any case, under the bottom-ranking elimination system, the three people who are at the bottom each month have to obediently leave.

Therefore, as long as a transaction time is agreed upon, selling cards will not interfere with studying.

...

...

The first rays of sunlight streamed down from the horizon, illuminating Kunwu Camp. The air carried the unique coolness of early morning.

After washing up in his room and changing into his Black Spade Academy uniform, Wang Xi went downstairs and happened to meet his three roommates, Chu Yichen, Ji Xin, and Feng Lingyun, who were all ready to go in the living room.

“Hey, Wang Xi.”

Feng Lingyun raised her hand in greeting.

He teased, "You really can sleep. I didn't see you all day yesterday, not even when you came down for dinner."

Chu Yichen, who was standing to the side, tidied his backpack and looked apologetic: "I was going to call you, but I didn't know if you had class today, so I didn't want to bother you."

He has a calm demeanor and the refinement of someone from a prominent family.

"I have a class." Wang Xi nodded in response, expressing her goodwill towards her roommates' thoughtfulness. "It seems to be a 'Disaster Response Simulation Class'."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xin raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Great course!" he said. "The disaster simulation course has one of the highest scores and is not to be missed. Especially for a student as capable as you, every victory will bring rich rewards."

His tone carried a clear sense of certainty.

"Ji Xin is right. Today is your first day on the list, so you need points to boost your ranking."

Feng Lingyun immediately added, "It means engaging in one-on-one combat with a disaster core that has appeared before and is recorded in the archives. Of course, the simulated disaster core's strength has been weakened by data, making it much weaker than the original; otherwise, most students wouldn't be able to defeat it."

He scratched his head, trying to explain clearly.

Chu Yichen continued, "According to the design logic of the actual combat simulation, if there is a winning streak, the 'strength reproduction' of the simulated disaster core will gradually increase."

"In short... the stronger you are, the closer the simulated disaster core will be to its actual strength as recorded in its archives."

Wang Xi nodded and smiled, "I understand, thank you for reminding me."

Wishing you a resounding victory!

Feng Lingyun clenched his fist.

Chu Yichen and Ji Xin smiled and then invited Wang Xi to have breakfast together in the cafeteria.

Wang Xi did not refuse.

So the four of them went out together, quickly ate breakfast in the noisy student cafeteria, and then went their separate ways to attend classes at their respective colleges.

Wang Xi then walked straight to the simulation venue.

The venue for the disaster simulation course is the same as the previous team points competition. At this moment, most of the students from Black Spade Academy have arrived in the hall.

Everyone was eager to get started, ready to face the challenge of the first lesson in October.

"Wang Xi, come here!"

A familiar voice sounded.

Wang Xi looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was the leader, Zhao Leng'an.

Zhou Ziming and several other familiar students surrounded each other, seemingly forming a small group.

Good morning, everyone.

Wang Xi walked over and gave a brief greeting.

"Today is a disaster simulation exercise," Zhao Leng'an chuckled, patting Wang Xi on the shoulder. "This class can earn a lot of points."

"Are the rules the same as the team points competition?"

Wang Xi asked.

"Three losses and you're eliminated; wins and you get points?"

“Yes.” Zhao Leng’an nodded. “If we have a winning streak, the simulated disaster core will become stronger, but we will also get more points.”

"Are you confident you can set another winning streak record?"

Zhou Ziming smiled.

"Just do your best," Wang Xi shook his head.

Zhou Ziming was about to say something when he suddenly looked to the side and whispered, "Today's supervisor is Mrs. Du."

Everyone followed his gaze.

Sure enough, it wasn't Dean Rosa Butler who came today, but rather the white-haired Mrs. Du.

Two young girls followed behind her; they were her adorable twin granddaughters, Xiao Xiao and Lin Lin.

The two girls, dressed in training uniforms, were not at all shy and were led to the front desk by their grandmother.

With her short hair, Linlin raised her little fist and shouted to the students below the stage, "Go, brothers and sisters!"

"I've always thought that Spade House is the best of the four houses!"

Xiao Xiao, who was standing nearby, joined in the encouragement, waving enthusiastically: "Go for it, everyone!"

The two sisters' innocent energy and smiles seemed to have a certain magic, instantly bringing a smile to everyone's face.

It's fair to say that the emotional value is maximized.

"The simulation chambers are all activated." Madam Du's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears: "Go, children."

"Yes, Madam Du."

The trainees readily agreed and then proceeded in an orderly fashion to the independent simulation chamber.

Wang Xi randomly selected an empty cabin and pushed open the door. As he sat down in the mechanical recliner, his metal helmet dropped, and a soft scanning beam enveloped his entire body.

hum-

A flash of white light appeared before my eyes.

"Welcome, student Wang Xi."

When Wang Xi opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast, white void, the boundless white stretching into the distance with no end in sight.

We've arrived in the simulation space once again.

Wang Xi clasped his hands together, twisted his wrists, and stretched his body, preparing for the first live-fire simulation.

Not long after.

drip.

"Combat simulation begins."

Dozens of meters directly in front, space slightly distorted, and a figure began to take shape.

"Scene 1, Simulated Disaster Core: The Actress in Green Robes."

"Originating from the Mysterious Series Labyrinth, Plum Blossom 2 'Blood Guanyin'. This disaster core data is recorded from four years ago, during the Orange Catastrophe that occurred in Qi City, Western Continent, with an energy level of 72."

"The simulated disaster core has been weakened by 60%."

Wang Xi stared intently.

The silhouette outlined by the light was that of a man. He wore a simple yet shimmering blue robe, his figure as upright as a pine tree.

The other person's long black hair was simply tied back, with the red ribbon binding it fluttering in the wind, adding a touch of elegance.

A face, slightly delicate yet undeniably resolute, gradually came into focus, its gaze vacant yet concealing deep sorrow.

The moment Wang Xi saw that face clearly, his pupils constricted slightly.

This person...

It turned out to be his good friend from the mystical world.

"Simulated Disaster Core - Qingyi Opera Performer - Mei Yanxi (Mirror/Neutral/High-Rank 3-Star/Elite)"
