I loaded the dream game

Chapter 73: The End of a Long Story

I met my apprentice again after a long time, and had a friendly exchange and discussion with him. The two joys overlapped with each other, which must be a very happy thing.

But why did it turn out like this?

Xia Zhi looked at the place where his backpack was supposed to be placed, but now it was bare and empty, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."

Lilia turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly and secretly stuck out her tongue.

The fact was just as she said, when she used the Moon Door for the first time, she had already done her best to control it so as not to hurt the boy. Naturally, she had no energy left to take care of the inconspicuous backpack.

However, Xia Zhi is not concerned about this, but is thinking about a very serious question:

"I went to slay the dragon empty-handed, and came back empty-handed still. Does that mean I slayed the dragon in vain?"

Fortunately, he had the foresight to refrigerate the remaining dragon meat, otherwise he might have been left empty-handed this time.

Xia Zhi thought to himself, raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Is this really okay?"

"What?" Lilia was stunned for a moment and tilted her head in confusion.

"As long as you kill me, you may be able to stop the collapse and become a brave man who saves the world." Xia Zhi said.

"Not a replica of the life of a 'typical hero' that existed in the past, but like the first generation of heroes, he walked his own path, created his own great deeds, and became a true hero amid the admiration and hope of the world."

By then, for the girl who has reached the pinnacle of fame and power, everything in the world will be within her reach.

You don't need to bear tragedy, you don't need to take vows, and you don't need to care about other people's wishes. You can do whatever you want.

Such a future is undoubtedly extremely attractive, and no one should refuse it.

however……

"Although it sounds tempting, that kind of thing is impossible for me," said Lilia.

"I will never become a hero."

The girl took a deep breath, looked into Xia Zhi's eyes and said softly: "Because... this is what I promised you."

"..."

Xia Zhi sighed slightly and stretched out his hand to the girl: "Give me your hand."

"Do, what?" Lilia seemed to be frightened. She took a half step back, clenched her hands in front of her chest, and asked stutteringly.

Xia Zhi was too lazy to explain, he just grabbed her hand, held it in his, and closed his eyes.

Except for subconsciously retracting her hand at the beginning, although she showed reluctance, the girl did not resist Xia Zhi's actions, but just let him hold her hand.

Looking at the boy holding her hand and feeling the warmth from his hand, her face couldn't help but turn slightly red.

When Xia Zhi opened his eyes again, this was the scene he saw.

"You, what did you do?"

Lilia noticed his strange gaze and quickly pulled her hand back, hid it behind her back, turned her head and asked with a blushing face.

"Something I can't tell you." Xia Zhi replied.

"What kind of answer is that... You didn't do anything weird to me?"

Thinking of the boy's strange abilities, Lilia looked at him with gradually more suspicion.

"Don't worry, of course not." As he spoke, Xia Zhi's tone suddenly became hesitant again, not knowing what he had thought of:

“…I think so?”

Lilia:......

How can I feel at ease with this?

……

"Xiazhi, welcome back~"

As soon as the door opened, a petite figure ran over and threw herself into the arms of the person who came in.

"……what?"

Ailuko blinked in confusion. Is there something different about the summer solstice today? It seems to feel a lot softer when rubbed?

No, that's not right.

It’s not quite the Summer Solstice, because the flavor is different, but it’s also familiar.

She looked up in confusion, only to be met with another pair of wine-red eyes.

"..."

Ai Luke tilted his head: "Who are you?"

Lilia was filled with frowns: I've only been gone for a short time, and you've already forgotten me?

"Oh, it's Lilia!"

After some distance, Ai Luke quickly saw her 907 face, with a surprised expression on his face. He hugged her again and said happily: "Welcome back~"

That's more or less.

Lilia hummed softly and hugged the girl in her arms.

After the two of them finished reminiscing about the past, Xia Zhi asked Ailu Ke to help take the backpack containing the dragon meat to the kitchen, while he took Lilia to the room and sat down.

"Then, according to our previous agreement, I will answer all your questions." Xia Zhi looked at the girl and said, "What do you want to know?"

"...all of them." Lilia said.

Ah this...

Xia Zhi curled the corners of his mouth.

I miscalculated. I should have cancelled the "Select All" option in advance.

"Is it difficult?" Lilia asked when she saw that he looked embarrassed.

"That's not the case." Xia Zhi shook his head.

It's just a bit too much trouble, he thought.

But never mind, it's my own fault for making that promise in the first place.

"So, are you ready?" Xia Zhi raised his head, looked at the girl and said, "After all, it's a very, very long story."

Chapter 74: Unbroken Connection

After exiting the copy, Xia Zhi opened his eyes and saw a pair of clear and bright eyes looking at him without blinking.

"……What's up?"

"I just came to visit my brother after a long absence." The girl replied.

Hearing this, I felt as if I had been sleeping for a long time. Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"What time is it now?" He sat up from the bed, glanced at the sky outside the window which had already turned completely dark, and confirmed the time with the girl.

"Let me think...it seems to be 7 o'clock in the evening on July 25th." Xia Zhi answered with her finger on her chin. After thinking for a while, she added: "By the way, brother, you have been sleeping for three months...Ah!"

"If you want to lie to me, at least change your spring school uniform first." Xia Zhi took his hand back, looked at the girl suspiciously and asked, "So, how did you get into my room?"

"Why can't I come in? Brother, you didn't lock the door." Xia Zhi covered her forehead which was hit by the bullet and said with a look of grievance.

Unlocked the door?

Xia Zhi looked confused.

He clearly remembered that he had locked the door properly... he should have, right?

……Have it?

He felt a little uncertain.

Because too much subjective time has passed, he can't remember many things clearly.

"Forget it, just assume I didn't lock it." Xia Zhi shook his head, looked at the girl and asked, "And then, you just came in?"

"Because, no matter how I knocked on the door, you didn't respond." Xia Zhi carefully put down his hand, as if he wanted to check the condition of his forehead, but there was no mirror at hand, so he had to lift up the bangs on his forehead and asked Xia Zhi:

"Is it red?"

Xia Zhi nodded: "It's red."

There is indeed a conspicuous red mark on the girl's fair and smooth forehead, but it has nothing to do with Xia Zhi. It was rubbed out by herself.

Xia Zhi wrinkled her nose and said in a complaining tone: "It's all your fault. Now I can't go out...Ah!"

"Don't make it sound like it's so serious. This kind of thing will go away on its own soon, right?" Xia Zhi said as he withdrew his hand.

Are you still knocking?

The girl glared at him in annoyance.

"So, what exactly do you want to do when you come to me?" Xia Zhi ignored her gaze and continued with the previous topic.

"Didn't we agree that you would take a few days out of every week to help me with my homework?" Xia Zhi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Brother, you didn't forget, did you?"

Xia Zhi thought about it and it seemed that this was really the case.

Unlike Xia Zhi who either slacked off or slept in class every day, Xia Zhi, who is already a third-year middle school student, is facing pressure from entering higher education. Although it is not as great as the college entrance examination in the future, it is enough to make her feel stressed as her grades are not very good.

Although Xia Zhi's grades in school were not particularly good, with his high school level, it shouldn't be difficult for him to tutor a middle school student.

But unfortunately, Xia Zhi had just returned from the dream copy, and he even forgot whether he had locked the door. Naturally, he could not remember how to use the method of undetermined coefficients to find the analytical expression of the quadratic inverse proportional function.

"I have something to do tonight." Xia Zhi said after thinking about it.

"So next time, definitely next time."

After sending Xia Zhi, who was yelling, "Have you forgotten about your sister now that you have a girlfriend?", out of the room, Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the bed.

He picked up the phone on the bedside table and took a look, and found that just like last time, only half an hour had passed since he entered the copy.

"Is the time spent in the dungeon fixed?" Xia Zhi thought to himself as he checked the two notifications sent by the game.

[The main mission rewards have been settled. Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1700 dream points]

[The dream instance has been closed. The next instance will be opened in 6 days, 23 hours and 47 minutes. Please wait patiently.]

It is exactly the same as last time, still about the settlement of main task rewards and the opening time of the next copy.

Since the rewards for the main missions one and two, which account for the majority, have already been settled in advance, the 1700 dream points here should be considered as the final payment, right?

"." Then, there is only one thing left to confirm. "

Xia Zhi shifted his gaze to the ring on his hand that looked like starlight, took a deep breath, and gently closed his eyes, feeling the connection that seemed to be there and not there, yet gave him an unusually solid feeling.

"...Eluke?" He asked in his heart.

"(No. Zhao), it's Xia Zhi's voice! I really heard it!" The surprised voice of the Star God Girl came in my mind.

Xia Zhi felt slightly relieved.

Sure enough, just as he thought, the connection was not severed because he left that world.

Moreover, judging from the fact that the girl was able to respond without any hindrance, the world over there should still exist intact and did not disappear with the closure of the copy.

Does this mean that I have successfully exploited a loophole in the rules of the dream game and directly created an independent world in this way?

Xia Zhi couldn't help but think so in his heart.

Or... the copy world created by the dream game actually exists? .

Chapter 75: A Day, Three Autumns

In the early morning, the bright sunlight shines through the window and thin curtains, giving the room a golden hue. The leaves outside the window sway gently in the breeze, casting mottled shadows in the room.
