They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 311 The Black Swan Repeatedly Pulled by Dan Lei

When the black swan threatened to take him away, Dan Lei didn't hesitate and said he'd slip away first.

In any case, Black Swan's combat methods are far less effective than her initiation skills.

If a real fight breaks out, Danlei said he still remembers a hundred ways to cook geese from his past life, including electric roasting, braising, stewing, and salting.

Fortunately, the black swan didn't intend to harm Dan Lei at this time.

Behind the door was a dimly lit corridor.

Black Swan waved her hand, closing the portal the two had come from, then complained somewhat helplessly.
"Mr. Danlei, you'd better not use your flames in the dream."

Although the flames can quickly burn away memory, they will be countered by the harmonious forces that maintain the dream state.

The area damaged was small, and this was the first time Pinocchio had suffered such an attack, which is why they didn't retaliate.

This is, after all, the family's territory. Even if you are a envoy, you will still be constrained when fighting against the family here.

Moreover, if the power that sustains the dream is used to fight against you, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster for the visitors within the dream.

From her perspective, the Black Swan's warning was sound.

After all, the black swan had no idea that Pinocchio's dream was actually maintained by a stellar core.

I don't know, but the harmonious power that integrates the forces of order and destiny in my dreams is continuously increasing.

Even a dead Star God still possesses Star God-level power.

It can be said that this was under the premise that the forces of the Yellow Springs and the Sea Patrol Knights did not weaken the order.

Only by using the last drop of [Aha] tear can Danlei possibly resist this force.

However, Dan Lei didn't intend to correct the misconception about black swans. Instead, he touched the surrounding walls, deliberately skipping the topic of black swans, and asked...
"This must be the Daydream Hotel from my dreams."

The dream passport says that this place is under renovation.

This feeling, this dreamlike memory, is crumbling... Interesting. This place definitely needs repairs, but with the family's skills, it's probably difficult to fix.

Black Swan wasn't surprised that Dan Lei could see through the essence of this place. Seeing that Dan Lei was unwilling to talk more about the terrifying flames, her eyes darted around, and she followed Dan Lei's lead.
"Yes, this dream is indeed slowly collapsing."

However, it will take quite some time before it completely collapses, so a mysterious bar still operates here.

Mr. Danlei, would you like to have a drink with me?

Danlei had no interest in the Black Swan's invitation; the bar at the Dream Daydream Hotel was clearly referring to Shu Weng's Dreamy Bar.

I know that place very well; in the game, I worked there as a bartender.

Therefore, Dan Lei directly refused.
"I don't have the habit of drinking with people I've only met for less than five minutes."

Moreover, you are clearly spying on my memories.

To be honest, when I was outside, no one dared to bother me, but then I went into Pinocchio and ran into you.

Seeing that Dan Lei refused, Black Swan realized her abruptness and quickly tried to salvage the situation.

"Mr. Danlei, I am very sorry, I was rude just now."

You may call me the Black Swan.

No one seeks you out outside because your memories are protected by the Star God of Memory.

Neither the Memory Maker of the Flowing Light Memory Court nor the Burning Chemical Maker believed they had the ability to break through the defenses set up by the Memory Star God.

They won't be doing useless work around you.

I have no intention of prying into your memories; I simply want to make a deal with you. As a newcomer, you will certainly need some intelligence support.

So, let's make an exchange—an exchange of memories.

When Black Swan offered to exchange intelligence, Dan Lei became even more dismissive. The actors on the Pinocchio stage weren't even all present yet; what intelligence could she possibly have that he didn't know?

So Danlei shook his head and waved his hand.
"Miss Black Swan, forget it, I don't think you have any information that's worth my attention."

I'm exiting the dream now. Goodbye.

After Danlei finished speaking, he wanted to exit the dream.

Danlei doesn't have the ability to travel through dreams, but as a traveler of memories, it's not difficult for him to actively escape from dreams.

For Danlei, the possibility of being briefly trapped in certain special dreams, like a star, does not exist.

If he were truly trapped, Dan Lei wouldn't mind burning through the dream and plunging directly into the Sea of ​​Memories.

Once Danlei reaches the Sea of ​​Memories, he will be able to return to his body.

Black Swan saw that Dan Lei didn't trust her at all, so she didn't stop him, because even if the monk could run away, the temple couldn't hide.

Black Swan has already realized that although Dan Lei has a strong ability to manipulate memory matter, he seems to be unaware of some of the most basic operational skills.

This situation is similar to many city kids not knowing that edamame is the same as soybeans.

It's not that they're stupid or lack common sense, but rather that no one has ever told them that edamame is actually soybean.

After all, when you eat these two things, you don't need to know their growth process.

A few minutes later, when Danlei returned to his body and entered his golden moment again, he hadn't taken more than two steps when the Black Swan stood smiling in front of him.

Dan Lei could only smile wryly at this point.
"Miss Black Swan, have you set your sights on me? By the way, how did you find me so quickly?"

The Black Swan then stretched out her hand, unfolded five cards in front of her, and said...

"Fate is not a choice, but an inevitability."

As she spoke, Black Swan drew a card of Dragon Rider and Stellar and handed it to Dan Lei.
"Your memory body is too powerful. Every time it appears in a dream, it's like a boulder being thrown into the water."

For the person who remembers, the ripples you create are like announcing their position.

Of course, most people who remember you wouldn't dare to get close to you.

As for me, my curiosity about you outweighs my fear of you.

Seeing this, Dan Lei knew that the Black Swan was probably not easy to deal with, so he took the card she offered and said...
"A blank cone of light."

Although the pattern on it is nice, I don't want it to be documented in the Pinocchio event.

After saying that, Dan Lei used imaginary energy to directly destroy the blank light cone, and then said...

"Black Swan, you'd better think carefully about what you have to offer me in exchange for before you come looking for me."

If you harass me again, I won't hesitate to use some special methods to deal with you.

After saying that, Danlei wanted to leave.

But the black swan blocked Dan Lei's way again, laughing.
"How about exchanging techniques that allow the memory manipulator to control memory matter?"

With your abilities, once you learn the techniques, entering dreams won't cause such a commotion, and you'll also learn how to traverse dreams.

Upon hearing Black Swan's words, Dan Lei immediately became interested.

So Danlei used the contract to tell Xiao Huanlong and the others that the original meeting plan was canceled and that they could freely play around in Pinocchio for a while.

Meanwhile, Danlei also used the phone in the dream to contact Huangquan, and after they finished playing, they went to meet in the VIP banquet hall of the Daydream Hotel in reality.

After finishing, Dan Lei looked at the black swan and said expressionlessly.

"Miss Black Swan, I hope the memory techniques you traded to me won't be a waste of my time."

"Now, where shall we make the trade?" Seeing this, the Black Swan opened another portal, extended its hand, and smiled.
"It's not convenient here. Your entry into the dream world is too noisy, and too many colleagues are spying on this place."

So, let's go to the bar I mentioned before.

The black swan event reminded Dan Lei that there were indeed quite a few units around him with mental strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

So Danlei took Black Swan's hand and was pulled into the portal again.

This time, the two didn't appear in the dimly lit corridor, but instead appeared directly in the dimly lit bar.

Upon seeing two living people arrive, one of whom was none other than the Celestial Dragon Lord, a figure known to all in the universe, Miss Shu immediately put down the cup she was wiping and said...

Welcome to the Dream Bar.

Seeing this, Black Swan sat down at the bar and said to Shu Weng...

"Two drinks of 'Enchanting Rendezvous', by the way, Miss Shu, I've introduced a big client this time, can you give me a discount?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately said...
"No need for a discount, I'll pay for these two drinks."

However, Miss Shu, I would like to have a quiet environment where I will not be disturbed for the time being.

Shu Weng would not refuse reasonable requests from guests; she would simply say so.
“Since this dream realm was sealed off, I haven’t had any guests for a long time. Please make yourselves at home.”

After saying that, she walked away and started mixing drinks.

Seeing this, Dan Lei directly asked the black swan.

"Tell me, what do you want to know from me?"
Just a friendly reminder, I don't necessarily need to learn the techniques for manipulating memory from you.

I do know a few of the Memory Makers, after all, there are still quite a few Memory Makers active on Avalon.

Moreover, a Messenger-like person even tricked me once.

I think if I brought up what happened last time, she'd definitely be willing to use her memory manipulation techniques to pay up and avoid further trouble.

Black Swan nodded, and another cone of light appeared in her hand.

This image of a light cone depicts her manipulating her card box; the light cone is called "Magic Trick".

Then Black Swan said

"All the techniques I promised are stored in this cone of light."

"As for memories, I'd like to know what happened after your last live stream, the ending of the Eternal Flame Mansion. I'm very interested."

Black Swan's memory of wanting to make a deal isn't very sensitive; she clearly wants a long-term, steady relationship, starting with a good beginning.

However, when Dan Lei saw Guangzhui Ming, he felt the dead memories attacking him, and Xia's demonic brainwashing voice still rang in his ears.

Therefore, Danlei sifted through his memories of the ending of the Eternal Fire Mansion, removing his own perception when Huang Quan appeared, and could only see Akash being killed by Huang Quan.

Afterwards, Dan Lei pushed the memory light point to the black swan and then decisively complained.

"Miss Black Swan, why did you name this light cone that?"

The black swan had already eagerly absorbed the memories given to it by Dan Lei, then nodded in satisfaction and replied...
"The ability of a memory user to manipulate memory matter is almost like magic to ordinary people."

So I named it "Magic Tricks," is there something wrong with that name?

Danlei can't very well say that he was brainwashed by someone's voice after seeing the words "magic skills," and that he still remembers it even after his second reincarnation.

However, the technique of leaving a black swan in the light cone is genuine and truly fundamental.

After reading the memories inside, Dan Lei instantly felt as if he had unlocked his full potential and learned how to travel through dreams.

At this moment, Shu Weng served two cups of "Enchanting Rendezvous" and said...
"A beautiful rendezvous, sweet and exciting, the two of you are enjoying your drinks."

Before Shu Weng left, Dan Lei took out his dream passport and had her put it on the tab. Then he said to Black Swan...
“Miss Black Swan, this transaction was very pleasant. If you have any other memory techniques you would like to trade, please come to me again.”

After saying that, Dan Lei opened a portal to the Golden Moment behind him and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the black swan was clearly still not satisfied and stopped Dan Lei.

"No, Mr. Shu's wine is a fine product. Let's talk about something else."

For example, are you interested in the dream crisis that the Pinocchio family has been hiding? You can trade it for the source of your flame.

Upon hearing Black Swan's words, Dan Lei immediately had the idea to deceive her. He closed the portal, took a sip of his drink, and chuckled.

"If the crisis you're talking about is that memory black hole hidden by the family, then there's no need to say anything more."

My senses haven't deteriorated yet, so I can naturally perceive such a blatant black hole of memory matter.

Upon hearing this, the Black Swan was speechless, because the only thing she knew about the Pinocone collapse crisis was this memory black hole.

Currently, information is incomplete. From Black Swan's perspective, the reason why Pinocone's dream is slowly collapsing is that this memory black hole has accumulated too much memory matter, which has become a time bomb for this galaxy.

Before it explodes, it slowly absorbs dreams.

If it explodes, the entire Asdna system will become history.

However, just when Black Swan thought the deal was over, Dan Lei suddenly said...
"Actually, I can tell you the information about that flame, but you have to do one thing for me."

I have two old foolish friends who should be in Pinocchio; help me find them.

After saying that, Danlei showed the photos of Huahuo and Sangbo to the Black Swan.

Fireworks and Sambo were the driving forces behind many of Pinocchio's major events.

Although Dan Lei had already contacted the two men, neither of them had left him their real contact information.

When I called Hanabi's number, it was always disconnected. I contacted the Interstellar Peace Company and found that the number had a large amount of unpaid phone bills and that the registered owner was not Hanabi.

Clearly, the phone call was probably actually for fireworks, but she was impersonating someone else at the time.

Now, if Danlei wants to find her, he has to pay off her phone bill.

To be honest, this amount of money spent on phone calls was nothing to Danlei, but Danlei was still angry and decisively deleted the number.

As for Sangbo, he didn't leave his phone number with outstanding charges to himself.

But when I call, he always makes me leave a message first, and then he replies later.

Danlei later confirmed with Xing that this number was different from the one Sangbo had given her.

Since this guy wasn't being sincere in his interactions, Danlei deleted his number.

Seeing that Danlei was preparing to have him work on the memory exchange, Black Swan indicated that he could accept it.

It's just finding two fools, nothing serious.

Dan Lei said that the black swan had agreed to help him find someone.
"Didn't you want to know what my memory spirit is? You already know the answer."

Dan Lei was wicked; he directly packaged the [Suihuang] source fire as his own memory spirit.

This flame is specifically designed to attack the mind, which makes sense if it was originally a memory spirit.

After all, there are all sorts of spirits, and a ball of flame can naturally be a spirit.

Black Swan did not doubt Dan Lei's words, nor did she ask to see Dan Lei's awakened memories.

After all, Yi Ling's abilities are related to the battles of the Fate Walkers, so it would be really impolite to ask any further questions.
