Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Who Wakes Up from the Great Dream First (Part 2)

Normally, Liu Shiling wouldn’t be able to “wake up” by herself in her dream. Old Xia would “awaken” Tang Baona first, then through Nana’s special melody “broadcast”, “awaken” Yang Lao San and deal with her dream, before finally coming to Little Fatty Girl’s dream to “wake her up”.

However, unexpectedly, Liu Shiling “woke up” on her own before Old Xia arrived or Nana’s melody even began.

…

In Liu Shiling’s dream, the scenery became very realistic, with only a trace of the 2D style left in the rolling mountains. She was wearing her signature black robe with gold-rimmed cat ears, wielding a short magic wand that looked just like a chopstick, commanding her troop of chocolate, ice cream, and lemon tea, five small soldiers in total, battling all kinds of dark monsters to protect ten thousand chubby rabbit subjects.

The slightly roundish little magician with her robe hood was perched on the back of a large “tiger” with four pairs, eight wings in total.

This eight-winged mount was naturally “Custard Pie”.

The little fatty girl, whose hands were as small as steamed buns, pointed her short magic wand forward, and shouted, “Custard Pie, let’s charge! Wipe them out!”

However, the eight-winged mount beneath her didn’t move, instead, it turned its feline face around and uttered several crisp barks, “Woof! Woof, woof!”

Despite having eight wings and being larger in size than an average Siberian Tiger, its face was that of a chubby orange tabby cat. It should not have been making dog barks under any circumstances.

In the dream, Liu Shiling felt it was very abrupt, she frowned in confusion, “Custard Pie, a cat should act like a cat, not bark like a dog…You are not a dog…”

But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly froze, locking eyes with Custard Pie beneath her. Her eyes gradually brightened, they shone even brighter until she cried out in surprise, leaping up in excitement.

“I understand now, I’m dreaming! I’m just dreaming!”

Liu Shiling shouted, thus “waking up” in the dream.

Actually, after she finished dinner and Xiang Kun called, the “Chongyun Village Team” knew they needed to help Xiang Kun in their dreams so Liu Shiling went to “brief” “Custard Pie” by herself.

She instructed “Custard Pie” to wake her up with the code “woof woof woof” in the dream.

“Custard Pie” responded with “meow meow meow” to indicate understanding.

This process was actually reported to Xiang Kun by Alice, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.

Although it had been verified before that “Custard Pie”, now part of the “Super Sensory Item System”, could indeed be connected to the special dream induced by “Emotion Infused Objects”, how could “Custard Pie” remember Little Fatty Girl’s instructions and “wake her up” in the dream without being conscious itself?

Therefore, after leading Little Fatty Girl into the dream, Xiang Kun didn’t specifically include “Custard Pie”, and “Custard Pie” hadn’t fallen asleep yet either.

Anyway, there was already Nana’s special melody awakening scheme, which was certain.

However, unexpectedly, not long after Little Fatty Girl fell asleep, “Custard Pie” also fell asleep on the rooftop, then, through its connection with Little Fatty Girl, it directly projected into her dream.

More miraculously, even though “Custard Pie” itself was not “conscious” in the dream, it really did obey Little Fatty Girl’s previous instructions, emitting the dog barking signal “woof woof woof”.

Thus, the dazed Little Fatty Girl in the dream was indeed “awakened” by the signal.

“Waking up” in the “Emotion Infused special dream” was really this easy?

As the support base of the entire dream, feeling clearly everything happening in Little Fatty Girl’s dream, Xiang Kun could only smile helplessly. Little Fatty Girl always managed to surprise him. Even though he provided the fundamental abilities, it was the unconventional “developer” like Little Fatty Girl that could bring more innovative and distinctive applications.

When Little Fatty Girl “woke up” in the dream, the entire dreamland changed dramatically.

Except for the dream projections of chocolates, ice cream, and other five “super-connected coins”, including “Custard Pie”, everything else, whether the various demons and ghosts, the mountains filled with fat rabbits, or the mountains underfoot, the blue sky and white clouds above the head, all disappeared.

She, along with Custard Pie and the five super-connected coin soldiers, seemed to be standing in empty space.

“Is the monster that Uncle Bald wants to deal with coming out?” Liu Shiling’s little face showed a serious expression. She tucked her short magic wand under her arm, pulling the hood cord on either side of her robe to tighten it slightly. The cat ears on the hood moved as a result, which seemed to give her a sense of security.

“Custard Pie, let’s go ahead and check. Chocolate, Ice Cream, you guys protect the left and right. Lemon Tea, Sachima, Mung Bean Cake, you three face the back and stay on alert.”

After Liu Shiling finished speaking, she realized that the “Custard Pie” beneath her feet had not moved. Looking down, she saw no trace of her eight-winged cat mount. She was standing directly in a void of darkness.

Looking left, right, forward and backward, “Chocolate”, “Ice Cream” and other coin warriors had also disappeared. Now, all she could see around her was an empty void of darkness. She could see her hands and feet, but all the light seemed to be restrained to her body. The outside world had swallowed all the light.

“Custard Pie! Chocolate! Ice Cream! …” Shouted Liu Shiling, she ran for a few steps, looked around and it was still the void, with no changes, no scenery in sight, and no signs of Custard Pie, Chocolate, and others.

Liu Shiling stopped, took a deep breath, suppressed her fear and anxiety, raised the magic wand in her hand, and shouted, “All the monsters from the dark world… enemies of Bald Uncle! You can’t scare me in my dream! Hand over my kitty and warriors now!”

“I’ll count to three! If you don’t hand them over! I’m going to get tough!”

“One… two…”

“Three… four…”

“Five… oh, I over-counted!”

With some annoyance, Liu Shiling chucked her magic wand, and a flash of lightning appeared out of the void, tearing the surrounding void with a sputtering sound, bringing a moment of light.

Then there was continual thunder and lightning, but after thunder and lightning, it still remained quiet and silent. She seemed to have struck nothing, annihilated nothing, as if she had always been outwitting herself.

Liu Shiling became more and more panicked inside and couldn’t help but shout: “Bald Uncle! Chicken Wing Sister! Old Fairy Sister! Where are you? Gorgeous Sister! Sister Apple! Are you there? Xiao Luosi! Xiao Luosi!!”

After shouting for a while, she stopped because it seemed somewhat embarrassing. She aspired to be a “great wizard”, the most powerful kind of “great wizard”. How could she keep shouting out of fear of the dark and loneliness? This is not the performance of an excellent “magician”.

If Old Fairy Sister saw her, she would definitely laugh at her and would probably say, “Xiao Lingdang, come here, call ‘Sister Silver Armor Fairy’ three times and I’ll come to save you”.

No, that’s too embarrassing, she must remain calm.

As the ancients said, “Train for a thousand days, fight in a pinch”, she always thought about practicing magic so that one day she could fight monsters with Bald Uncle and protect the world together. The opportunity finally arrived, the monster hadn’t even shown up yet, how could she be so frightened?

“I am learning magic with Bald Uncle!”

“I am Liu Shiling!”

“I am very brave!”

After some self-encouragement and motivation, Liu Shiling was immediately invigorated and continued to wander in the void with her magic wand, looking for a way to break the stalemate.

As time trickled by – though she had no idea how long it had been, it felt as if it had been many, many years. The courage she had mustered and the confidence that had been raised quickly faded away.

Why?

Why is there nothing here?

Did Uncle Bald, Chicken Wing Sister, Gorgeous Sister and others finish fighting the monsters and forgot about me?

Did they forget me?

Liu Shiling stopped wandering around since everything looked the same, she could see nothing, there was nothing.

She squatted down, hugged her knees, pulled the drawstring on her hood tighter and tucked her face inside. Her little face was framed roundly by the edge of the hood.

“Uncle Bald… Chicken Wing Sister… please come to save me quickly… don’t you want me anymore? Do you think I am too weak, and don’t want to take me with you… Old Fairy Sister, Sister Apple, where are you… Xiao Luosi, I’m so scared… Mom… Mom…”

Teardrops streamed down her face and fell with a patter, disappearing into the void beneath her feet.

Xiang Kun, who had been constantly monitoring the dream, was instantly on guard. He was about to jolt Little Fatty Girl out of the dream, allowing her to wake up first. Given the dream states of Old Xia, Nana, and Yang Lao San, one less person, Little Fatty Girl, would not make a big difference. It would only make the process a bit longer than intended.
