Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Yancheng.

"Almost there, just a little bit more."

"I'm just a little short of reaching the standard Chen Xi mentioned!"

Yan Mingliang locked himself in his room alone to train his so-called mental power in order to meet the requirements of awakening.

"According to the records, it takes a normal person about six months of effort to reach the threshold of awakening."

"And it seems like I haven't had any for half a month..."

"So, am I a genius?"

"Or am I trying too hard?"

"No, I should have some talent in this area. If hard work were all that mattered, I wouldn't have been able to catch up with Chen Xi's score despite trying so hard."

Yan Mingliang nodded to himself, denying his own conclusion while affirming his own talent.

He then sniffed his clothes, and a sour smell, different from that of being in love, made him frown.

"How long has it been since I last took a shower?"

"I took a long sick leave and kept practicing my telekinesis. I'm completely exhausted."

"Luckily, both my parents are business owners and I'm the only one in the family, otherwise it would be troublesome to do anything."

After Yan Mingliang finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the toilet.

His family is well-off, and he has his own private bathroom in his room.

Push open the door.

Yan Mingliang was stunned for a moment.

It's not that there are any monsters or ghosts in the ensuite bathroom, it's just that it's too dark.

"Isn't it 9 a.m. now?"

"And the curtain wasn't even drawn."

After muttering to himself, Yan Mingliang glanced at his phone again to check the time.

It was indeed 9 a.m.

Undeterred, he walked to his desk and drew back the curtains.

The dazzling sunlight I had imagined did not appear; the outside world was as dark as a brightly lit night.

"What's going on?"

"How can the weather be like this at 9 a.m. on a hot summer day?"

Yan Mingliang frowned, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart.

......

......

Give him a hand...

This is a perfectly normal statement.

In particular, the dreamer planned to save Chen Xi and the other person at this moment.

Whether it's about social etiquette or reciprocity, what the other party said made no mistake.

But Chen Xi felt a faint flutter in her heart.

What does it mean to lend him a hand?

How can I help myself?

Both being members of the hegemon class, in terms of current performance, the Dreamer is clearly stronger than the Sleepless.

Chen Xi was a little confused for a moment.

The dreamer's idea of ​​forming a gang is a gamble on an even brighter future for themselves, placing them among the top three hegemons...

life!

Did the other party guess something?

Because what the dreamer needs most is lifespan!

And the dreamer knows a lot of secrets. Could it be that he has seen something out of me from the clues?

But perhaps Chen Xi is overthinking things.

"Don't worry, I will do my best if that day ever comes."

Chen Xi made a lukewarm promise.

This is not a lie, it's a genuine promise.

If we include this time, this uncle has saved me twice already.

The last idol crisis, and this time the tower slave crisis.

If the dreamer encounters danger in the future, Chen Xi will indeed do his best to help, but that does not include sacrificing his own life.

The dreamer nodded slightly and hummed in agreement, quite satisfied with the answer.

His expression then subtly changed, switching from a relieved look to a serious one:

"Time is of the essence, so I can't tell you much more about the three questions you asked me earlier."

"First, what's inside the Black Tower?"

Second, what is the longest an ordinary person can survive inside the Black Tower?

Third, what was the world originally like?

"I could have told you all these things, but due to time constraints, I can only give you a brief overview now."

The moment the dreamer finished speaking, Chen Xi could clearly see that his face was aging at a visible rate.

"Your face..."

"Don't worry about me, I'm going to die soon."

The dreamer replied indifferently, his eyes showing no wavering as he faced the ever-approaching army of Tanu:

"The first question, what's inside the Black Tower, is a question that can't be answered in just a few words, so let's skip it and see for yourselves later."

"The second question is, how long can an ordinary person talk inside the Black Tower? The longest I've heard of is a year. Remember, I've only heard of it, and I'm not even sure if it's true."

"I've seen quite a lot in just one day."

"If you have friends, close relatives, or loved ones involved, I advise you to let things take their course; there's no need to go and get yourself killed."

"The third question is, what was the world originally like...?"

The dreamer paused here, and pointed in a direction:

"Go back in this direction later; you'll find the answer you're looking for there."

"However, both the one-year timeframe and the answer I'm giving now can only be considered 'reference answers.'"

"The road is under your feet, your feet are on your body. The future of all of us is formed by the combination of every choice we make."

"Any words or suggestions you receive are merely supplementary; ultimately, you must walk the path yourself."

When the dreamer finished speaking, he was very, very old. He had no teeth left, and his body was nothing more than skin and bones.

He looked like he had shrunk, his body was less than half the size of his original size, but the light shining in his pupils was even more dazzling!

By this time, the Tanu army had already advanced, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex Tanu was still cautiously walking at the very back.

Chen Xi figured it out: this guy was very afraid of dying. He needed the Ta's slaves to go forward and fight the enemy first to confirm the enemy's abilities before he would make his move.

My name is Liu Yi.

This was the last thing the dreamer said.

After he finished speaking, his body gradually became transparent until he disappeared.

But two more things appeared on the ground.

It's the same Duel Disk that the Dreamer used in the previous battles, the one that's shaped like a scythe for placing cards.

The other item was two completely contaminated black tower stones!

In other words, Liu Yi just suffered a curse of the magnitude of two Black Tower Stones and his own life, which triggered his Stage II extraordinary characteristic, Fantasy!

"Boss!"

"Did he run away?!"

Chen Xi was already used to Yang Wei's thought process.

At this moment, his gaze was completely focused on the dueling disk on the ground, and a faint glint flashed in his eyes.

Chen Xi quickly bent down and put the scythe-shaped duel disk on the ground onto his left hand.

And then infuse it with his mental power.

really!

I received this surge of life from you, Uncle!

"He didn't run away; the uncle did everything he could to give us a chance to live!"

The moment he finished speaking, Chen Xi raised his left hand, which was adorned with the Duel Disk:

"duel!"

In an instant, the location changed.

It returned to the state it was in when the dreamer activated the environmental magic "Orichalcos Barrier".

All the creatures present seemed to be inside a giant magic circle.

But this is not the point.

The key point is that there is a covered card in front of Chen Xi.

This card is a face-down card left by the Dreamer before he activated the Quick-Play spell "Your Name".

Looking back now, it seems that the uncle had already prepared a backup plan from the very beginning of the battle!

Chen Xi fixed his gaze on the Tyrannosaurus Rex Tower Slave standing at the farthest point, and waved his hand:

"Open the cover!"
