This time, only Caiyun and Chasing Wind have been upgraded. Caiyun's HP rises to 140, and Chasing Wind's HP rises to 120. The players returned to the Mercenary Guild and handed in the quest, getting back the deposit and 15 gold coins.

Mingyue happily proposed: "It's still early today, let's go have a drink or two later?" Player Xu Ran said: "Okay, just listen to Mingyue, and drink two cups together in a while." Everyone said "yes". Before everyone went to the equipment shop first, they repaired the full body armor of the NPCs except for the archers; Or pay 2 gold coins.

Before coming to the barracks again, 'Player Xu Ran' proposed to raise the blood volume of the leopard's sword and shield soldiers to 40, which cost 4 gold coins; He also upgraded Caiyun's archer skill from C-level to B-level for 6 gold coins. Then arrange for the NPCs to return to the barracks. Everyone suggested that the 'player Xu Ran' and the blood volume of the sword and shield soldiers under his command should also be raised to 40, and the player Xu Ran meant that he would wait for the next time and then consider it uniformly.

The players came to the hotel and asked for a private room to sit down, and the player Xu Ran asked a few female players to order; After several female players called the waiter, Yingsheng discussed and ordered a table of dishes. This restaurant really has characteristics, as soon as the dishes are ordered, the same dishes will follow, and all the waiters will be placed on the table; They asked for another jar of wine, and then began to eat and drink.

This time he started eating, Xu Ran in the dream was even more surprised; I didn't expect my sense of taste to work here, just like I was actually eating; The taste, the palate, everything is the same as the real thing; I really didn't expect that I could enjoy such treatment even if I dreamed of it. Fortunately, the spiritual thorn of 'Player Xu Ran' has run out, otherwise Xu Ran in his dream would not have such a good fortune.

The dishes are eight cold dishes and eight hot dishes; Two pots of soup. Cold dishes with four meat and four vegetables, Xu Ran in the dream can only roughly understand, there are fish and meat, as for what kind of fish and what meat, he can't say clearly, he himself is not very good at ingredients; As for the other kinds of cold dishes, he couldn't recognize them.

Hot tea is also four meat and four vegetables, but you can recognize crabs and lobsters. A pot of soup is soft-shelled turtle soup, which he can recognize. The other pot is a fruit soup with several fresh fruits; It's just that he doesn't recognize the varieties of these fruits at all. The tableware is all fine porcelain, similar to the tableware and appearance of the real world where he lives; The strange thing is that the players are also using chopsticks to pick up vegetables, which makes Xu Ran in the dream feel honored for the long history of chopsticks.

The taste of the dishes and soups is very delicious and delicious; But if you want to say what is good, Xu Ran really can't describe it; Because these unique tastes are indeed different from the dishes Xu Ran has tasted in the real world, so that he can't describe them in the right language; Xu Ran felt that this should be the condiment of the 'dream world', which was different from the one used in the real world; Anyway, its taste is mellow but not greasy, and the aftertaste is endless.

For some dishes, the combination and processing of taste, Xu Ran intuitively thinks that it can also be used as a reference in real-world food cooking; But he's a layman about cooking, and he doesn't think about it for the time being. The taste of the wine is also very unique, bounding the flavor between liquor and wine; The color of the liquor is like the color of ordinary liquor, and visually, it is constantly changing and sublimating compared to ordinary liquor; I feel that the alcohol content of the sake is also changing in the mouth, and it changes from a low-alcohol wine to a high-alcohol liquor.

'Player Xu Ran' drinks wine by holding it in his mouth, tasting it for a while and then swallowing it in his stomach; Xu Ran didn't know how to taste tea, and imagined that the players drank wine like this, which should be similar to the way to drink tea. Xu Ran in the dream, although he can't control any of the actions of 'player Xu Ran', but because he now has a complete sense of substitution for the player's body, the feeling to Xu Ran is that although the 'player Xu Ran' has willpower, his individual is illusory, so that the entire action and process of eating and drinking are all completed by Xu Ran in the dream and practicing independently.

Xu Ran usually likes to drink liquor, and he also has a drink volume of 8 taels, and he has also drunk some good wine; But now when he tastes the wine here, he feels that the wine he has drunk before cannot be compared with this wine at all; At least it is a notch lower, so to speak, it is not at the same level. At the wine table, everyone mainly discussed the topics in the game; Occasionally, they talk about where new discoveries have been made in the Milky Way; As for the personal issues concerning individuals, no one mentions them; Xu Ran felt that this might be a habit.

One thing Xu Ran understands is that in the world that players live in, there are many kinds of games that exercise players' abilities; And there are a lot of games to exercise 'mental power'.,The game that I'm lucky enough to participate in.,It's to exercise 'mental power'.,Because it's a newly developed game.,There aren't many players yet.。

For the other games they talked about to improve the player's ability, Xu Ran in the dream wanted to find a place to order a few more "likes"; Xu Ran really admires the imagination and creativity of their world; Any game that can improve human beings' own qualities, hobbies, and abilities seems to them to be "nothing that can't be done, only unthinkable." ”

Like the kind of games that specialize in improving martial arts, increasing speed, etc., Xu Ran feels that it is normal; Other things that Xu Ran could think of, or couldn't imagine, many kinds of ability development games related to people's personal interests, were actually provided there, which could only make Xu Ran can't help but admire. For example, in that world, there are games to improve the ability to see, hear, smell, and taste; makes Xu Ran feel that the other side is thorough and people-oriented.

Like that ability to improve the sense of taste, Xu Ran felt that this was purely for the benefit of foodies; And according to common sense, this seems to be an unnecessary, overly pursued attribute. I think it should be that the level of science and technology there is sufficiently developed, and the material conditions are greatly abundant, so that people have the conditions to fully meet their different needs; Xu Ran admires their world for making full use of advanced science and technology to benefit people; Completely based on people's needs, no matter how big or small, the sun shines.

For the discoveries in the galaxy they mentioned, Xu Ran didn't understand it at all; This feeling is a bit like hearing a lot of foreign names or some special terms in real life, and I can't understand it because I don't have the right number. The taste of the two pots of soup is also very good, the soft-shelled turtle soup should be stewed, I don't know what condiments to put in, the taste of the soup is very mellow and fragrant, very delicious; The soft-shelled turtle also has a more delicious texture and taste than usual.

The fruit soup pot has a special taste, there are about six kinds of fruits in it; Some are sweet, some are sour, and some can't tell what they taste; Some have a crisp taste, some have a soft texture, each with its own unique color, when mixed together, but it feels very reasonable to match, and it tastes straight and appetizing. After the wine and food are eaten, the players do not ask for staple food, which is considered to be full. The characteristic thing is that the wine, vegetables, and soup ordered by the players were all eaten and drunk, and there was no waste.

After the meal, the bill was checked, 9 silver coins and 5 copper coins. When 'player Xu Ran' left the private room with everyone, he mentioned: "I can't go online tomorrow because of something." ”

When Xu Ran woke up the next morning, he remembered that he hadn't woken up in time to remember and record the decoration in the dream at night and after leaving the dream. Immediately, I quickly found a pen and paper and sketched on it. At this time, he realized that his memory of these things was actually quite clear; So he no longer worries, he will easily forget, he sketched a few simple outline patterns on the paper, and began to make a fortune early in the morning, ready to go out; As for the details of these outline patterns, he plans to complete them when he arrives at the office.

Although he has already finalized the decoration plan this time, he will definitely not be idle if he records more of what he sees in his dreams; This information is very useful and invaluable; One is because it allows him to optimize the existing decoration design, and the other is to store information for future use; Because he doesn't know how many times he can enter the 'dream world' again, he is very precious for the decoration materials that he can obtain every time.

Xu Ran works normally during the day, and the lunch break at noon must be guaranteed; In the evening, when he was eating at home, Xu Ran logged on to the computer QQ. As soon as the QQ login meeting was opened, the message of "Peacock Flying Up" had been sent: "Hello, camel, are you there?" Xu Ran replied: "Hello, peacock, good evening." ”

"Thank you for your guidance yesterday, I cheered up last night and really remembered something."

"Oh, can you tell me about it?" The peacock flew up: "I studied anime design, and the leather protective gear worn by the characters in my dream aroused my interest, and I tried my best to memorize the detailed structure of those protective gear, and I really remembered some when I woke up." It really helped me a lot. ”

"As long as it helps, you can enjoy your dreams to the fullest." The peacock flew up: "The current costume design is not very clear about many details, and it will be more blunt and unnatural in the processing of details; I didn't expect that I could figure out some details from my dreams, which is really incredible. ”

"Congratulations, you've made a big gain, can you remember anything else?" The peacock flew up: "I don't remember anything else very clearly, I just remember the character I brought in, leading some archer soldiers; There was another man, with some soldiers with spears, hunting. The character I brought in and another man was just in charge of the command, and didn't go straight to the charge. "How did they command?" The peacock flew up: "I didn't see it, there was communication between the two commanders, I don't know which Chinese language, anyway, I can understand it; The commander and the soldiers did not hear and communicate with each other, as if the soldiers knew what to do. ”

Xu Ran asked, "Do you think your dreams are like experiencing a game?" "I've never played an online game, but I've heard of it, and I think the experience in my dreams is like playing an online game. I'm just wondering how I can figure out in my dreams if I don't understand a problem in real life. It can't be a sudden inspiration, right? ”

Xu Ran: "This is also strange to me, what I found in my dream also helped me a lot in the decoration design I was doing." Moreover, the more you are exposed to this game, there will be more incredible discoveries. It shouldn't be that I suddenly have an inspiration, and I feel that the game in my dream is actually happening. "Oh, it's incredible. That's really exciting. Camel, can you give me some more advice, the little woman is polite. "I'm out there. I judged that this dream was a game, but I didn't understand how we were involved. The characters in the dream have independent personalities, and we cannot participate and interfere. The purpose of this game is to exercise the player's mental strength. The players you dream of don't speak when you command the soldiers, it's because they're commanding with mental power. ”

The peacock flew up: "Is it dangerous for us to participate in the game like this?" "I don't know. It's just that we should be involuntarily gone, I used to be working at night, but at the end of the day (I guess it's 12 o'clock in the evening) I fell asleep; You should be careful not to stay up late outside in the future, and you will probably fall asleep at any time. "Oh, I'll remember that." Xu Ran continued: "I think it's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided, since you have already been in contact with the 'dream game', why don't you try to understand it, maybe you can and have the ability to control it in the future." At present, I think that the 'dream game' is helpful for me, because I can have the opportunity to see some things in it, and I can also learn some martial arts from the players. However, as the saying goes, no profit is not early, since we can be brought into a dream to participate in the game without us knowing, there must be something to say; We can only figure this out on our own. That's why I'm looking for the same dreamers online. “

"Can I call the police? Ask the police for help. "I don't think I can call the police. If you say something like this irrationally, no one will believe it, and if you feel that the police can't solve it; If I put you to the test again, it won't be worth it. The peacock flew up: "Is there anyone else who has replied to you?" "I'll take a look now." Xu Ran searched for it and then replied, "No useful reply." The peacock flew up: "I'm very nervous now, I don't know what to do." ”

"I've been through this game longer than you, at least I haven't felt any danger yet; And I think that not only have I gained something in my dreams, but if I continue to observe and understand carefully, I should be able to find other things that can be learned. Suggestion: Adjust your mentality, not only do you come to peace, but also strive to learn some skills in your dreams. ”

"Oh. Well, thanks. Xu Ran looked at the time and said to the peacock: "I'm going offline, I hope you will rest early, take care of your spirits, and remember more things in your dreams." Remember to meet on QQ every day. "Camel, let me ask, I worked for less than three years after graduating from college, you should be older than me, right?"

"I've been graduating for more than four years, so I should be older than you." "Oh, Brother Camel, goodbye. (smiley)" "Peacock, goodbye." (smiling face) "Xu Ran went downstairs to practice palm skills until 22:00, and went upstairs to clean up and sleep. Although he knew that the 'player Xu Ran' would not enter the game again tonight, he didn't have to go to bed so punctually; But Xu Ran wants to maintain a good routine for himself. For the current like-minded people who can also fall into dreams, Xu Ran feels very happy to chat and communicate every day; At least you don't have to let the strange things you encounter in your dreams every day hold back in your stomach and no one can do it.

If people have something in their hearts, or have their own unique ideas about something, they always hope to say it and communicate with others, so as to relieve the pressure in their hearts or expel some of the fish hopes accumulated in their hearts; This should have something to do with human beings, who are social animals, and humans can't stand loneliness; This kind of loneliness not only refers to the physical aspect, but also includes the mental and conscious aspects. Like Boya and Zhongzi, it is because of a song "Mountains and Flowing Water" that they are introduced to each other as confidants that are rare in a lifetime, which shows how much impetus will be generated by mutual communication to those who are understood, which may be a kind of 'resonance'.
