Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

On the sofa,

The two sized each other up.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Silverwing's eyes.

Even though the boy in front of him knew that he was the Demon King's protector and that he came on behalf of the authorities, he remained neither humble nor arrogant, and showed no panic. Instead, he was able to look at him in the eye.

He admires this quality.

When he learned that the top student in the Mianyue Academy's assessment was a freshman, he wondered why the quality of the students in the academy was so poor.

However, after a brief encounter, he believed that Bai Kang's ranking was accurate and that he was an outstanding individual.

The number of skills one can awaken may depend on fate, but a person's courage is never affected by luck.

Without a doubt, Bai Kang's courage has earned Silverwing's approval.

On the other side, Bai Kang didn't think that much about it.

He looked at the bird-man in front of him, who instilled fear in countless mice, and felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, thoughts, and reflection).

Since his awakening, he has gotten to know most of the familiar demon king guards. Now, the only ones he hasn't met are the instructor and Old Black. He had seen the instructor on TV before, when he represented the military.

As for Old Black...

Bai Kang fell into thought. He seemed to have no idea of ​​this guy's existence from anywhere, and the Demon King's Guard at the Demon King Club didn't have Lao Hei's name either.

Like Butterfly and Nameless, they were in a period before they were discovered by the club.

"Bai Kang."

After a long while, Silverwing slowly spoke.

"I won't waste time with words. I'm here to inform you about the trip to the subspace in two days." He paused, observing Bai Kang's reaction, before continuing:

"By the way, let's get to know each other."

"Do you know me?" Bai Kang asked, puzzled.

"Hmm." Silverwing explained, "The operators who can enter Moonlit University are all extraordinary. Generally speaking, the leaders of the assessments that involve the entire grade are senior students. It is rare for someone to skip a grade, let alone someone who skips three grades like you."

"I originally intended to invite you to join the Demon King Club on behalf of the club, but I heard that you declined the invitation."

Bai Kang chuckled awkwardly a few times, offering no explanation.

Silverwing didn't dwell on the matter, instead saying, "I am the main person in charge of this subspace mission. Once inside the subspace, everyone must follow my orders and cannot act on their own."

Bai Kang thought for a moment, "Senior Silverwing, could you tell me more about the details of warp space?"

"Yes, that's what I wanted to talk to you about." Silverwing lowered his eyes. "The subspace is another real world. I won't go into the basic background; you can find that out."

"The key points mentioned are the three forces in the subspace and their attitudes towards us."

Bai Kang sat up straight, leaned forward, and listened attentively.

"In the warp, the strongest in terms of overall strength is the Hafk. They plunder resources and establish global hegemony through technological dominance. On the surface, they claim to be equal in terms of resources, but in reality, they control the world with violence and technology, and are in opposition to the GTI and Asara."

"GTI is a tactical intervention force jointly formed by the United Nations. On the surface, it is to balance the situation between Hafk and Asara, but in reality, it is to investigate Hafk's secrets, such as Mandel Brick. You can temporarily consider them as Asara's temporary allies."

"Asara is a nationalist resistance force that opposes foreign invasion and defends sovereignty and culture. However, Asara is currently in chaos. The royal family, warlords, and individual heroes are all trying to save Asara by their own efforts. This has led to a lack of consensus despite everyone being in Asara's best interests, and even allies have their own ulterior motives."

At this point, Silverwing paused, his expression gradually turning serious, his voice becoming even deeper.

"And then, reality came."

He looked up at Bai Kang, his gaze serious.

"There's no explanation yet for why the subspace is invading reality. Perhaps it's a global conflict caused by quantum entanglement. Or perhaps some kind of monster is causing trouble, since even strange things like skill awakening have occurred."

"However, I'm more inclined to believe another possibility."

"The three forces in the warp are locked in a stalemate. Hafk is facing both GTI and Asara simultaneously and cannot break the deadlock in a short time, so they have set their sights on the reality of technological backwardness. They used some kind of technological power that we cannot understand to open the barrier of reality, attempting to start from reality, but their purpose is unknown."

Silverwing's words are truly astounding!

Bai Kang was completely stunned. Breaking down the barriers of reality with the power of technology?

Tie Tie, is this right? Is this realistic?

Noticing Bai Kang's astonishment, Silverwing smiled. "You think this is impossible? Well, it is. After all, this speculation is really shocking. But who can guarantee that it's not possible? After all, the Marvel Universe has the concept of parallel universes. Maybe we have one too? Maybe our reality is a parallel world in the subspace."

He reached out and patted Bai Kang on the shoulder. "But everything is just speculation until it's proven. Just take it as a joke."

Bai Kang fell silent.

My first reaction was that it was impossible, but then I thought about it again and realized that skill awakening, dungeons, and even the dream of the subspace were all real.

Looking at it this way, it seems not impossible for Hafk to break through the barriers of reality with technology, and the more you think about it, the more reasonable it seems. At least it is a little more reliable than quantum entanglement and supernatural phenomena.

"Senior Silverwing," Bai Kang looked up, staring intently at Silverwing, "Could you tell me why you have this guess?"

Silverwing revealed a strange smile. He didn't say anything, but his smile was chilling. After a while, he finally shook his head.

Bai Kang didn't understand why Yin Yi shook his head. Perhaps it was because he had no reason, or perhaps he felt he had no right to listen.

Even after a long time, Bai Kang would still get goosebumps when he recalled that eerie laugh.

……

that night,

Bai Kang entered my dream.

Good evening, boss!

"Good evening, boss!!"

"Good evening, boss!!!"

As usual, the underlings greeted him. Bai Kang nodded, his gaze falling on a shield bearer.

This shield bearer is the oldest among the men here, in his forties, but his physical condition is stronger than that of the average young man.

"You stay here, everyone else go out first."

"yes!"

……

"Boss, what's up?" the shieldman asked.

Bai Kang stared at the veteran and slowly said, "I remember I rescued you from Dam Zero."

The shieldman scratched his head. "Well, I was in the middle of a small-scale war at the time. If it weren't for the boss, I would have died in the ruins."

Bai Kang nodded. Most of the people who usually stayed by his side were people he had personally rescued, and their loyalty was beyond question.

"You are a native of Dam Zero, and you have more experience than others. I would like to ask if anything strange happened during the construction of Dam Zero twenty years ago."
