I loaded the dream game

It was not until the warm sunlight shone on his face that he vaguely felt someone gently pushing his shoulder and saying something.

“…It’s time to get up.”

Faintly, he could hear a young girl saying this to him.

Come on, I'm tired... Besides, what time is it now?

Xia Zhi frowned slightly, turned over, hugged the soft body beside him in his arms, rubbed it gently like he was hugging a pillow, and planned to continue sleeping.

The girl paused for a moment, then pushed him again.

"...Hurry up and get up, stupid master."

It was obvious that there was a hint of annoyance in her voice.

As his consciousness gradually regained consciousness, Xia Zhi sensed something was wrong.

Why is the sound coming from above my head? Then who is the person in my arms?

And...why did she call herself Master?

Xia Zhi opened his eyes in confusion and met a pair of wine-red eyes that were very close to him.

"...Um, who are you?" Xia Zhi blinked and asked in confusion.

"..."A "well" character clearly appeared on the girl's forehead.

This bastard master, could it be that he has forgotten about her after being away for such a short time?

"It's Lilia?"

After moving a little further away and seeing the girl's face clearly, Xia Zhi showed an expression of realization.

But soon, new doubts arose in his mind.

So why is Lilia here? Has he come to her world again?

As he was thinking this, his attention was soon drawn to the unread message prompt in the lower left corner of his vision.

I remember that he hadn’t received these messages before he fell asleep last night... If I’m not mistaken, they should have popped up during the time he was sleeping, right?

Xia Zhi opened the message, and several lines of subtitles popped up in front of him——

[Limited time special event for Qixi Festival, the current stage jump has been completed]

【Wish you a happy game】

This is the first message. Now it seems that the so-called "phase jump" should correspond to the change of the world, and it is also the reason why I came to this world.

　(bidc) As for the second one...

[Judgment, the subject's score in the previous stage meets the corresponding requirements, Main Mission 1: Achieve four different endings (4/)]

[The stage rewards have been issued, please check them carefully]

Looking at the message in front of him, Xia Zhi fell into deep thought.

Unlike the previous dungeons, where rewards would only be settled after the dream dungeon was over unless you actively requested it, the rewards for this main quest seem to be distributed in real time according to the stages... Is this also one of the special mechanisms of limited-time activities?

Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now… Even though they asked me to check it, where is my reward?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head, looking at the figure with long cherry-colored hair in his arms, and couldn't help but fall into silence.

Could this be what the so-called stage reward refers to?

"Master, how long are you going to hold me?" Seeing that the young man had no intention of letting go for such a long time, Lilia wrinkled her nose, with dissatisfaction clearly evident in her voice.

this……

"I have such a good relationship with my teacher, is there anything wrong with being closer to him?" Although he knew that most of it was his fault, it did not stop Xia Zhi from being stubborn.

"I am her favorite student."

"I am still your only disciple!" Lilia also emphasized her identity... although no one knew why she was fighting for this thing.

"Not now." Xia Zhi replied.

Lilia: “?”

She was slightly stunned, and a question mark appeared above her head.

Do you have other disciples outside?

"Um……"

As if awakened by the quarrel between the two, the figure in Xia Zhi's arms uttered an indistinct groan and slowly opened his eyes.

She raised her head and saw a familiar face in her dazed green eyes.

"that……"

Under her confused gaze that seemed to have not yet come to her senses, Xia Zhi thought for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he greeted her:

"Good morning, Mr. Mafuyu."

.......

Chapter 608: The Wrong Way to Summon the Star God Girl

Fortunately, the dream game has some conscience and knows to reset Xia Zhi's clothes when changing worlds. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain.

But even so, Teacher Mafuyu went into the orphanage to visit the children and never came out to look at him again... Such a reaction must be angry, right?

"Master, didn't you say that you have a good relationship with Mr. Mafuyu?"

Opposite Xia Zhi, Lilia rested her cheeks on the table with her hands, her legs shaking slightly under the table, and asked as if she knew the answer.

"After all, you're a girl, so you'll always be a little reserved... Just like if I suddenly hugged you like that, you wouldn't want to, right?" Xia Zhi always finds excuses for himself.

"That's not necessarily true..." Lily-Ya muttered softly.

"What?" Xia Zhi looked at her in confusion.

Lilia panicked when he looked at her like this, and glanced away guiltily: "Nothing..."

Xia Zhi frowned slightly upon hearing this, and looked up and down at the girl whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Until Lilia felt a little uncomfortable, he asked curiously:

"Have you been very free recently?"

Different from the smart clothes that she often wore in her memory, the girl today wore clothes that were more casual and homely. Her delicate white collarbone could be seen under the slightly open neckline. The cool sleeveless dress showed her slender arms, and the knee-length skirt revealed a section of tender white calves... Judging from her appearance alone, it is hard to imagine that this seemingly fragile girl is actually a savior who is tasked with protecting the world.

If Lilia hadn't changed into this outfit to see Xia Zhi before he woke up, it could only mean that she had no plans to go out and fight recently... at least today.

"Because there haven't been any new Herrschers for a long time recently." Lilia explained.

"Yeah……"

This also means that the number of humans in this world has begun to decrease and is approaching the target value that I set at the beginning, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the human beings in this world?

Xia Zhi shook his head and stopped thinking about this meaningless thing, and turned his attention back to the matter at hand.

At this moment, in front of him, there was a short bow and a silver-white metal arrow.

This is the stage reward given to him by the dream game.

There is no doubt that since it can be used as a reward in the dream game, it is definitely not an ordinary bow and arrow. If nothing unexpected happens, it should have one or more absolute characteristics attached to it.

To be honest, when Xia Zhi saw this set of bows and arrows, the thought that came to his mind was, could he also awaken the ability of a stand?

However, the description of the effects of this set of bows and arrows given to him by the dream game was different from what he had imagined.

Speaking of this short bow alone, there is actually nothing special about it. It is just an ordinary short bow that cannot be damaged. There are quite a lot of anomalies with similar characteristics on Xia Zhi's side, such as the long sword he often uses, which he also added the "indestructible" feature on for convenience.

What really makes it unique is the arrow.

[After use, the target's favorability towards the player will be greatly improved]

This simple sentence made Xia Zhi quickly understand its function.

It's something like Cupid's arrow.

And it seems that considering Xia Zhi is not a bow class, the dream game also considerately canceled the setting of "it will only take effect after hitting the target after shooting" for him, and adjusted it to the convenient mode of "you only need to select the target in your mind and confirm the use to take effect", which greatly optimized the player's experience.

In other words, the matching short bow is actually just a decorative accessory that is only there to make the outfit look good, but it actually has no use.

Isn’t this a bit too willful?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, looking at the silver-white arrow lying quietly on the table in front of him.

To be honest, this arrow is of no great use to him, and Xia Zhi doesn't think he has any use for it... After all, if you really don't like someone and can't get along with them, even if your impression of them goes up, it will always fall down in time.

However, out of curiosity, Xia Zhi thought about it and picked it up in his hand, trying to choose Lilia on the opposite side as the target.

however……

[The target object does not meet the requirements]

"?"

Looking at the prompt subtitles that popped up in front of him, a question mark appeared above Xia Zhi's head.

Request? What request? You didn't say what request you had?

Xia Zhi felt that he might have encountered false sales.

· ········Request flowers··· ··

"Master?"

Seeing the boy staring at her absentmindedly, as if he was thinking about something, Lilia tilted her head slightly and waved her hand in front of him in confusion: "What are you thinking about?"

"...No." Xia Zhi took a deep breath, shook his head gently, put the matter aside for the time being, and considered another thing.

Should I take Ailu Ke back to her parents' home?

After all, I had accidentally forgotten the promise I made to take her into the dungeon world last time. This time, I had returned to her parents' home after a long absence. If I didn't say anything to her, it would seem a bit unreasonable, right?

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, then quickly made up his mind. After gently closing his eyes, he quickly connected with the girl in the depths of his consciousness, a connection that transcended time, space, and distance...

.. ......... .......

"Summer Solstice?" Aluko's puzzled voice sounded in his mind: "What's wrong?"

Because Xia Zhi only told Hubie about this before entering the copy, Eluke probably still thought that the boy was in the room at this time, right?

"Do you want to come over to my place and play?" After thinking about it, Xia Zhi felt that it was too troublesome to explain, so he simply invited the girl directly.

"Okay!"

Also without any hesitation or question, Ailuko immediately and happily agreed.

After receiving the response from the Star God Girl, Xia Zhi calmed down, gently stretched out his hand, and relying on the connection with her that could never be severed, he gently pulled in the void...

The next moment, accompanied by a flash of holy white light, the Star God Girl crossed the barriers of time and space and came to this world. Her petite body fell from the sky and landed lightly in Xia Zhi's arms.

The summoning process was very successful, but there seemed to be a small accident in the result.

Looking at the cute girl in his arms, who was wet all over, not even wrapped in a bath towel, blinking her clear eyes and looking up at him, and feeling the strange gaze from another girl on the side, Xia Zhi couldn't help but fall into silence.

He felt that he might have withdrawn the holy light a little too early.

……

On the other side, in the bathroom of the real world, Hubie looked at the girl who was bathing with him in the bathtub opposite him and suddenly disappeared in a flash of white light. He tilted his head slightly, revealing a somewhat confused expression... Next.

Chapter 609: Could it be a fake?

Fortunately, Lilia's house still had a lot of clothes that Ailu had worn before, which saved Xia Zhi the trouble of finding clothes for the girl.

After wiping Ailu's body clean, getting her dressed and settling her down, Xia Zhi fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about a problem that was not very important, but very concerning.

Unlike the previous situation, according to the setting of the dream game, I am now in a copy world, and there should be a difference in the speed of time flow compared to the real world, but why can I still communicate normally with Ailu?

Is it that the time here is temporarily synchronized with the real world, or is it that the real world is synchronized with the time here...
