Chapter 271: Dream Traveler
After hanging up the phone, Mu You opened the invisibility card and hurried back home.
It wasn't until he returned to the pet store that Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, opened the wine bottle, and released the little girl.
The little girl crawled out of the bottle and quickly returned to its normal size.
"I took your commission, and I will find a way to save your sister later, but not now." Mu You looked at the little girl who got under the table as soon as she came out, holding the table legs and carefully looking at the surrounding environment.
At the moment, everyone is busy grabbing the city in the sky, and he is no exception, and the Cook Islands are also at sea, so you need a boat to go, and you have to wait until the city of dawn is robbed at the earliest.
"Oh......"
The little girl seemed to expect Mu You to say this, and she didn't show too much excitement, but her face was slightly disappointed.
As soon as the words fell, a very loud protest suddenly came out of her stomach: "Goo! ”
The girl hurriedly covered her stomach, buried her head in the collar, and her face was as red as a tomato.
"I'll order a takeout for you."
Mu You didn't laugh at her, took out his mobile phone and opened the ordering software.
"Let's live here first, as long as you don't run around, you'll be safe with me......"
This girl is also a shady identity at the moment, and she can't be allowed to appear in front of people for the time being.
Mu You was thinking about where to place her when he suddenly felt that his clothes were being pulled.
Looking down, the girl was tugging at the corner of his clothes, looking at him expectantly, and asked cautiously: "Can I go to see the cat?" ”
"Go ahead."
Mu You didn't refuse, and opened the entrance to the zoo's backpack for her.
"Wow!"
Looking at the animals in the garden, the little girl's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to run into the garden.
Yesterday there were too many people here, she didn't dare to show her face, so she secretly glanced at the kitten and left in a hurry, and now she is alone, and she can finally play with the animals to her heart's content.
The little girl looked east and west, her face was full of novelty, and her eyes were a little insufficient, and finally ran to the cat's nest in the center and interacted with the two kittens.
"Goo!"
At this time, Mu You put it in the bird cage on the table, and there was a protest from the evil woman's bird.
"I know, I know, I'll take you to pick eggs." Mu You lifted the birdcage, opened the lock cylinder space and walked in.
Just now, the evil woman bird will do his best to help him control the enemy, of course, there are conditions, the condition is that when he comes back, he will choose three silver owl eggs to take away.
Entering the space, the evil woman bird immediately left Mu You and flew to the glass hatchery room on the edge to select the eggs.
Mu You carried a bucket of canned vegetarian food and went to feed the unicorn.
After most of the animals were moved to the zoo, the unicorn had fewer playmates, and Mu You was much closer, and he would no longer hide when he saw him like before, and every time Mu You came to feed, the unicorn would excitedly shake its ponytail around him and take the initiative to get close to him.
Watching the unicorn happily pick the pulp from the canned bucket and eat it, Mu You was thinking about the newly obtained fragment.
In the case of the scarlet of Solar City, he knew that the lion was collecting, and that he had found a collaborator, showing the contents of the map.
And Mu You didn't have any preparations in this city, and besides, he was too busy fighting for Dawn City, so he didn't have the heart to care about the competition for other cities for the time being.
In this case, it is better to simply give this fragment to the lion and let him come back with a fragment of another city.
Of course, the other fragments that Mu You needs most are those of Auroville, but according to the current situation, the Son of Heaven, Jack, and himself, the fragments of Dawn City have been basically monopolized by the three of them, and it is almost impossible to find the idle Dawn City fragments.
Moreover, even if the lion was really lucky enough to find the fragment, it would not be handed over to Mu You until next week, and the battle for Dawn City was estimated to be over by then.
After excluding Auroville, the most suitable one left is Eternal Night.
Mu You now has a way to get a fragment of Eternal Night City, and it is also a valid fragment, if this fragment in his hand is successfully replaced with an Eternal Night Fragment, he is equivalent to holding two Eternal Night City fragments, and he is naturally qualified to participate in the competition for Eternal Night City.
At the same time, as the last city in the sky to open, Eternal Night City still has plenty of time to prepare after completing the battle for Dawn City.
"Let's discuss it with the lion at tomorrow's meeting......" Mu You thought secretly.
As a result, he was pondering, when a voice suddenly came from next to him: "Wow, is this a unicorn?" ”
"Huh?"
Mu You turned his head and looked at the kimono little Lori who appeared beside him in surprise.
"You...... How did you get in? ”
He had just come in and locked the entrance behind the lock cylinder backpack. It is said that without his permission, no one else can come in, but this little girl appeared here so suddenly......
"Huh?"
The little girl tilted her head to look at him with an innocent look.
But this time, Mu You won't be so simple, so she will pass the test cutely, and she will make a detailed inquiry about the little girl.
……
Half an hour later, the little girl sat at the table in the store, guarding the fried chicken bucket in front of her, grabbing a chicken leg in one hand, and devouring it, looking like she had been hungry for a long time.
Mu You was thinking to himself on the side.
After a tireless inquiry just now, he finally vaguely understood this girl's ability.
This girl's ability, in layman's terms, is to be able to transfer between various backpack spaces!
Of course, it's not that simple, according to her, this ability is not stable, and if she wants to enter or leave a backpack space, she needs to be half-asleep to complete it, and at the same time, when she leaves the backpack space, she can't take anything that doesn't belong to her.
"In the Astral Realm, there is a class of people called 'Dream Travelers' who can do what she says......" Vivien suddenly sent him a message.
"Dream Traveler?"
Mu You was stunned, he had seen this name.
This name is currently mentioned in the Elven Horn quest, and in the Forest Elf's quest.
The name of the mission is 'The Alteration of the Ideal Country', which mentions that the Ideal Country is a beautiful and pure dream land, and you can only have the opportunity to enter it when you are in a dream, and there is also a person called 'Dream Traveler', according to the mission description, under normal circumstances, the Dream Traveler can enter the Dream Land at any time while sleeping and move freely.
"Are you saying that the world connected in the various backpack spaces is the so-called 'ideal township'?" Mu You looked at Vivian and asked.
"Yes."
Vivien nodded, seemingly familiar with this: "The caretaker of the Ideal Township, or the administrator, obtains resources by leasing the land of the Ideal Township to the living beings, and these leased lands will be divided from the Ideal Township like cutting tofu, transformed from the dream land into a real space, and then made into various backpack props by the living beings. ”
"And this manager will also select some people from the living beings to be its messengers, these people are called 'dream travelers', these people will gain a part of the manager's ability, and can enter the ideal village at any time, and walk freely in the ideal village. Some advanced dream travelers can also switch their state between dream and reality in the Dream Land, so that they can freely enter and exit the backpack space that has been rented. ”
"I see......"
Mu You nodded, if the identity of the little girl was brought into the dream traveler, then all the abilities she showed could be explained.
No wonder she was able to go from being alone from the other side of the ocean all the way to the Celestial Empire, and she also evaded countless pursuits.
It's just that what makes Mu You strange is that this little girl is a native of the earth, and she is not qualified to enter the game at such a young age, and judging from the feedback of the omniscient crystal, she is indeed not a player.
The question is, how could an ordinary child get this unique ability in the Star Spirit Realm?
"What's your name?" Mu You looked at the girl and asked.
"Wojiao Coconut...... My name is Ye Rumeng! The little girl swallowed what was in her mouth before she could tell her name.
"Ye Rumeng? Are you from the Celestial Empire? ”
"My father was from the Celestial Empire...... In addition, my nickname is Mengmeng, and my sister's name is Mianmian. After eating, the girl seemed to relax a lot, and she gradually began to talk more.
"When did you first get this ability?" Mu You looked at the girl and asked.
"When?" The girl looked at Mu You strangely, and without thinking: "There has always been a ......"
"There has always been a ...... You're saying you've had this ability since birth? ”
"Hmm!"
That's the end of the questioning, the child's thinking is more out-of-the-box, and she can't tell her about things that are too profound.
After she finished eating, Mu You led her upstairs.
"I'll go and prepare a place for you to stay, and you can rest here tonight."
Mu You took her into his bedroom, and since there was no special room in the store, he could only let her deal with it here for one night.
"Thank you, uncle!" The little girl bowed to him in a crisp voice.
“…… My name is Mu You, you can call me by my name in the future. ”
"Oh......"
……
After settling the little girl, Mu You returned to the lock cylinder space, prepared some building materials next to the log cabin at the entrance, and arranged eight hard labor robots and one engineering robot from the goblin to build a room overnight for the girl to live in.
This girl can't show up in front of people, and it's okay to talk at night, but during the day, she can only stay in the space first.
Several robots immediately started work, and the sound of humming and rumbling resounded through the space.
And Mu You didn't have time to rest, so he returned to the study and started making cards, tomorrow is the day of this week's secret art meeting, and he has to step up to make cards with two new magics.
He continued to make cards until five or six o'clock in the morning, and the 'arc sword' was finally converted by him.
The arc sword converted into black magic, the name is still called the arc sword, and the effect is still to add the effect of the arc blade to any weapon, but the black magic version of the arc blade can be extended as you like, and it can be extended up to forty meters away!
In short, it is quite useful to turn an originally short and powerful weapon into a '40-meter-long machete' at any time, or to sharpen iron like clay, and use it to cut through some huge creatures or buildings.
However, there is a limitation to this secret technique, that is, the longer the arc is extended, the greater the resistance, and the slower the speed of swinging the weapon.
Then Mu You continued to make cards for a while, and after making the 'Stinging Snake Guard' into cards, he made a few duplicate cards from each of the three new cards this week.
After all this, the time has come to seven o'clock in the morning.
"Boss?"
"Strange, haven't you gotten up yet......"
……
Mu You heard movement outside and knew that it was Xiaoya and Lin Xue coming.
He was just about to go out to have a look, but he heard Xiaoya's exclamation right after.
"Ahh......hh
"What's wrong?"
"Oh no, Sister Xue, the boss has become a little Lori!"
"What?!"
……
"Ahem, what nonsense......"
Mu You walked out of the study speechlessly, and saw the two of them gathered in front of the door of his bedroom, looking in surprise, but they didn't dare to step into the door.
Hearing the voice, the two turned around, and then saw Mu You walking behind them.
"Boss? So this is ......"
Mu You walked past the two of them to the door to take a look, the little girl was frightened by Xiao Ya's voice just now, and when she saw Mu You appear, she hurriedly crawled out from under the bed, hurriedly ran to Mu You, grabbed the corner of his clothes and hid behind him.
The two girls looked at Mu You in a daze, and then at the girl behind him.
"The owner...... When did you have a little Japanese niece? Xiao Ya looked at Mu You strangely.
Lin Xue looked at the kimono the girl was wearing, but quickly reacted: "This is the little girl you mentioned yesterday?" ”
"yes." Mu You nodded.
"Huh? What little girl? Xiaoya looked at the two of them blankly, what did I miss?
Mu You briefly explained what happened yesterday to the two of them.
"In short, this child is going to live in the store recently, and I need to help her keep her identity secret so that she can't be discovered by outsiders."
"It's so good that these people actually attack such a young child...... Xiao Ya immediately felt sympathy after hearing this, and her mood was probably similar to when she met those abandoned stray kittens on the side of the road.
"Is it okay to stay in the store?" Lin Xue looked at Mu You. The store is usually open, and it seems that it is easier to be exposed when people come and go.
"It's okay, I prepared a house for her in the space, and I'll let her stay in the lock cylinder space during the day in the future, and it's good to stick to it for this time......"
Mu You opened the entrance of the lock cylinder space.
At this time, next to the cabin at the entrance of the space, another wooden house had been erected.
Mu You went in and took a look, the beds, tables, chairs, benches, windows, although the place is small, there are all kinds of organs, and there are all the facilities that should be used, and it is no problem to live in people.
"Not bad!"
Mu You was very satisfied with the efficiency of the robot and looked back at the three of them.
I wanted to ask for their opinions, but I didn't expect to be met with unanimous opposition.
"No, this ......"
"yes, boss, that's pretty basic......"
"The taste is too big......"
……
"Uh, no?" Mu You asked.
"It's too rough, there are too many wooden thorns, and the smell of construction is pungent." Lin Xue's evaluation.
"Yes, boss, look at such a beautiful kimono, wear it and walk around, and it will all be hung with flowers, are you willing to ......?"
"The space is too small, it's too private, it's a girl......"
"And there is no wardrobe, where do I put my change of clothes......
"Where can I go to the toilet......?"
"The sound insulation is too poor, are you sure that children dare to sleep here alone at night......"
"...... that gets damp in a wooden house on a rainy day"
……
"Uh......"
The two of you said a word, and soon Mu You was stunned.
He was used to the life of one person who fed the whole family without starving, and this place was also according to his own standards, and it must be enough for him to sleep, so he really didn't care about these details.
"Let's get it!"
After discussing for a while, the two girls unanimously came to the conclusion that Mu You was unreliable and wanted to take over the problem of arranging the little girl's accommodation.
"I'll leave it to you."
The two were willing to be busy, and Mu You was also happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper, decisively handing over the command of the robot to them, and proposing that the expenses for her placement and shopping would also be reimbursed in the store.
……
At 6 p.m., the pet shop closes.
After sending off the last batch of customers, Mu You turned around and heard Xiaoya and Lin Xue already discussing the height of the little girl and going to a certain shopping mall to buy all kinds of clothes for the girl after work......
Mu You was both embarrassed and a little lucky, fortunately there were two women at home, otherwise he would really let him pull the life of a half-sized girl, which would definitely give him a headache.
After seeing the two motherly women leave in the car, Mu You returned to the store, took out his mobile phone, and the fool started it.
The game is online, and his character is still wandering around the streets of Phoenix.
But today I was lucky, after a while, he finally found a semi-permanent job in Phoenix!
[When you come to the south of Phoenix City, you see Eric the captain of the guard anxiously pacing in front of the city gate. 】
Eric spotted you and walked briskly towards you. 】
[Eric, who has been hiding from you for two days, probably understands that he can't escape forever, and today he specially found you and proposed to you, hoping to cancel the previous agreement to exchange the nezumi for prestige. 】
[Of course, as compensation, Eric will offer you another job.] 】
[Runaway Mana Floating Dragon: The Solar Glade is the birthplace of the Mana Floating Dragon, which is a companion species of the Solar Elves, and can be contracted as pets by the Solar Elves to help them better release arcane magic. Strictly speaking, though, mana floating dragons are not real beings, but arcane creatures condensed from pure arcane energy receiving sufficient light, and generally only move in the daylight, feeding on the arcane energy of the earth or the sun elves.
However, a small number of mana floating dragons cannot control the energy in their bodies, and after absorbing too much energy, they will fall into a state of loss of control, and will not disappear at night, and will become more violent by attacking and devouring other mana floating dragons, and if left unchecked, they will cause serious damage to the ecology of the solar glade. As a result, these runaway mana floating dragons need to be cleared regularly. 】
[The ranger who was originally guarding the solar woodland has left Phoenix City for a while, and needs your help to take his place for a while.] Gain 10 reputation for each runaway Mana Floating Dragon killed, up to a maximum of 100 per day. Arcane Crystals obtained after killing Mana Floating Dragons can be exchanged for a one-year lifespan in the Arcane Shop. 】
[Do you accept the task?] 】
"Accept!"
There is nothing to hesitate about, there is finally a reliable fixed task, Mu You is decisively sure.
As for the nezumi mission...... Originally, the rat people on the grassland had already been cleaned up, and if they brushed it down, the physical consumption and prestige would not be proportional, so it would naturally be replaced with a new task first.
What Mu You didn't expect was that after taking the task, there was actually a text below.
[Eric was slightly relieved to see that you had taken the task, and then told you a new piece of information. 】
[Mrs. Emma from the Seongnam Knitting Shop has just submitted a request to the guards: her cat ran into the solar glade in the afternoon and has not returned, probably lost in the forest. 】
[Eric wants you to help Lady Emma find her cat after you enter the Solar Glade, and if you can find it, he will pay you 50 reputation points, and Lady Irma will give you an extra reward.] 】
