Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan looked around, but did not see Claude.

"Young Master Claude didn't come; he's still preparing for the domestic competition."

Marde said casually, then glanced at the dream device on the display stand that Lin Xuan and the others had been looking at, and his smile widened.

"This is our group's latest dream device. Although it's not perfect yet, it already has quite a few functions. Would you like to try it out?"

"I me me!"

"Boy!"

The Eevee in Bai Yao and Lin Xuan's arms stretched out its paws and claws. Bai Yao, of course, had been thinking about it for a while. As for Eevee... how could she miss something that looked so fun?

"This... the dream device used by Pokémon is still under development, so it can only be used by humans at present."

Marde glanced apologetically at Eevee in Lin Xuan's arms.

"Buyi~"

[This is not fun at all~]

When Eevee heard that he couldn't play, he immediately lost interest and lay back down in Lin Xuan's arms. He figured he might as well go to sleep.

"Won't this bother you?"

“It’s alright. Actually, there’s already a part of the dream installation here for exhibition and experience. Originally, it was supposed to be done by lottery, but since it’s Mr. Lin Xuan… going through the back door is no problem.”

Marde said jokingly.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Bai Yao said impatiently, and then Marde led everyone into the exhibition hall. After passing through a door that read "No unauthorized personnel allowed," only a few staff members were left around. Marde quickly led them into a room with four devices that were exactly the same as those on the exhibition stand.

"Phew~ This looks pretty good!"

Bai Yao quickly moved closer to examine the object and said.

"This is just the first batch, so it's still a bit basic. Later models will have more features."

Marde explained, but Lin Xuan quickly interrupted her.

"Mr. Mald, does this dream device... have any side effects?"

Lin Xuan asked with some concern, after all, it was a newly developed machine, and the design was in an area unknown to Lin Xuan, so he was still a little worried.

“Hmm… actually, there are some.” Mard nodded upon hearing this. “Although the user will be in a sleep state after the dream device is activated, the brain is actually more active than when awake. So if you use it for too long, you may experience dizziness or nausea, but it’s not dangerous. The optimal usage time is within three hours.”

Marde added, and Lin Xuan nodded in agreement, saying that was normal, before turning to the people behind him.

"Then let me try first?"

"Hey! I want to play too!"

Bai Yao had just opened her mouth when she saw Lin Xuan sit directly into the machine.

"Don't rush, let me try it first!"

Lin Xuan possesses the power of wave guidance, making it easier for him to handle any situation than the others. Besides Lin Xuan, the only other one is Long Xing, but the power of dragon control is ultimately not as comprehensive as the power of wave guidance.

"So how do you use this?"

"It's very simple, just go in and press the switch inside."

Chapter 402 Why You?

Lin Xuan sat directly on the device's seat. Marde seemed to know what Lin Xuan was worried about, but that was normal. Even when this thing was first designed, Marde wouldn't have wanted to sit on it himself.

However, Marde also heard that Lin Xuan seemed to be the legendary Wave Guide Messenger, which might be the reason why Lin Xuan was able to sit on it directly.

Even if something unexpected happens, he can handle it better on his own.

As for why Mard knows this, well, Aura users aren't only found in China. It's just that the strongest Aura user so far is Luo Guan from China. There's no way around it; there are too few Aura users. This thing can only be determined by talent.

Unlike superpowers, which you can practice even if you don't have the talent, like Zhong Mingyi, who has a once-in-a-century superpower talent, occasionally practicing meditation techniques can still be beneficial—probably.

After all, Lin Xuan didn't really understand Zhong Mingyi's physical structure, so how did the old woman come to this conclusion?

Anyone with even a little talent can practice a bit, but many people never reach the point of bending a spoon in their entire lives.

After Lin Xuan sat inside, the "capsules" on both sides of the device quickly enveloped her, and her vision went completely dark. However, thanks to the power of waveguide, she could still clearly "see" the situation outside.

Subsequently, Lin Xuan felt a special force trying to put him into a state of sleep. For ordinary people, it would be very difficult to resist this kind of hypnosis, and they would fall into a deep sleep in an instant. However, if Lin Xuan used his wave guide power, this force would have no effect on him at all.

However, since it was just an experience, Lin Xuan voluntarily fell asleep after feeling that there were no problems. Then—Lin Xuan opened her eyes.

"This...is indeed quite formidable!"

After opening his eyes, Lin Xuan first scanned himself. With the help of the power of the wave guide, he could clearly feel the difference between the dream and reality, but it was still an extremely realistic world.

Lin Xuan was still wearing her original clothes, but the surrounding environment had changed drastically. The original exhibition hall had become a plain, and at the end of the plain seemed to be a door. However, when Lin Xuan walked over, it said, "Explore the area ahead later."

Lin Xuan's lips twitched, and she went up to pat him, but he didn't move.

So, is the map not updated yet? And there's an invisible wall?

Because of the limited map, Lin Xuan could only wander around the plain. Soon he reached the end, and unsurprisingly, there was still an invisible wall.

"Why can't we make it an open world? Fighting a boss and rescuing a princess would be fine too!"

Lin Xuan casually remarked that he had never thought about rescuing the princess while playing Zelda.

"But this world... is truly amazing."

Lin Xuan could clearly sense that this was an extremely special power that brought his consciousness into this world, but his body remained in its original position.

If development continues, the Dream Device will have a wide range of uses, not just for playing games, but also for training Pokémon just like in real life.

After all, Mard just mentioned that a dream device that can be used by Pokémon is under development and will definitely be released in the future.

"This is boring, let's wait for the map to be released."

After wandering around for a while and finding nothing fun, Lin Xuan decided to log off. It seemed there was an online multiplayer function, but it was still in the testing phase, and the exhibition's activities hadn't started yet, so it was as if Lin Xuan was the only person on the server.

"It's boring..."

After Lin Xuan finished his tour, he said somewhat boredly, "It's obvious that this dream world is not yet perfect. Moreover, as a wave guide user, he can sense the state of his body at any time, which means that this world does not have such a strong sense of reality in his mind. He can even return to his body at any time without any difficulty."

So Lin Xuan immediately exited the dream device, and her consciousness instantly returned to her body. Lin Xuan then opened the device and jumped out.

"So when will the map inside be available?"

As soon as Lin Xuan came out, he asked Marde directly, "This kind of open-world game with a real-person experience is really interesting!"

"It should be soon. It will probably take some time before the Dream Device officially goes on sale. If Mr. Lin Xuan wants one, Dawn Group can send you one directly."

Marde laughed and said that a dream device is expensive, but it's nothing to the Dawn Group, and it can't compare to the friendship between him and Lin Xuan.

"Hmm... then I'll help you advertise!"

Lin Xuan was too embarrassed to take it directly, but he really wanted to play with it, and he figured it was probably quite expensive, so he decided to treat it as an advertising fee.

"I will have someone from the Dawn Group contact you when it's almost time."

Marde said with a smile.

"Stop talking! Stop talking! I want to try evolving too!"

Bai Yao couldn't wait any longer. When she saw Lin Xuan come out and keep talking to Malde, she couldn't hold back any longer and sat down inside the device.

How do you use this thing?

Bai Yao hadn't listened to what Marde said earlier, and looking at the few buttons inside, she didn't know where to start.

"Just press this."

Lin Xuan pointed to one of the buttons and turned to ask Marde.

"So how do you get out while you're inside?"

"There's a teleportation device to the west of the initial platform. You can exit from there. Also, the dream device currently has a time limit. Since it's just an experience, you can only use it for about five minutes at a time, after which it will force you to exit. So... you didn't come out from there?"

Marde saw that Lin Xuan had exited before the time was up and assumed that he had found the exit method without her reminder, but it seems that wasn't the case. So how did Lin Xuan get out?

"Cough cough, it's alright, you can give it a try."

Lin Xuan didn't say much. He pressed the button in front of Bai Yao's seat, then crawled out and watched the device slowly close. After Bai Yao, everyone else saw that Lin Xuan had confirmed there were no problems, so they all sat down.

They were relatively at ease with the Dawn Group, after all, if any of them were to get into trouble here, the alliance would be furious.

Lin Xuan goes without saying, Song Chen and Cheng Si are the darlings of Beijing University and Shanghai University respectively, Long Xing is the heir of the Yu Long family, and Bai Yao will undoubtedly be the heir of Jin Hui Martial Arts Academy as well.

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and wondered if there was something wrong with the dream device... Lin Xuan had heard that his advisor had a very bad temper and might even storm over and raid the Dawn Group.

So they don't need to be nervous about this. Mard is more nervous than them. These guys are all powerful figures, and they can't afford to offend any of them.

"Why don't you go in and try again?"

Seeing that Lin Xuan remained unmoved after the others sat down, Marde asked curiously.

"Hmm...it doesn't feel very real, and there's not much content yet."

"Because you are a waveguide messenger, for ordinary people, there is almost no difference between that place and this world."

Marde laughed and said that the two then chatted for a while until Marde answered a phone call three minutes later.

Mard quickly switched from Chinese to English. He didn't have the habit of eavesdropping, but you could still see a change in his expression.
