Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Uncle Bald in the Eyes of Little Fatty Girl

By one o’clock, Old Xia started yawning and feeling sleepy. He did not continue to stay awake but went to bed after washing up.

As for Xiang Kun, he sat on another bed, waiting for Old Xia to fall asleep.

Tonight, they still had a plan to enter their dreams – to guide Little Fatty Girl’s dream world and attempt to help her reestablish the individual connection with the “Custard Pie”.

Originally, Xiang Kun planned to use a combination of Old Xia’s and Little Fatty Girl’s dreams to let Little Fatty Girl self-sustain her dream world. After all, she is not like Old Xia who can “wake up” in her dream and actively use “super-connected objects” to project dreams for control. She can only perform such passive operation.

However, when two dreams are combined, Little Fatty Girl only dominates half of it, and she does not fully rely on her own control of the “super-connected objects” to sustain her dream which means the probability of failure is still high—especially as she didn’t remember the “Custard Pie” appearing in the shared dream with Xiang Kun last time.

So after hearing the content of Old Xia and Little Fatty Girl’s communication in the room, Xiang Kun came up with a new plan. Before leaving, he left behind a “black circle graffiti” for Little Fatty Girl, with which Old Xia had established a connection, and quietly told her it was a “magic rune” that could connect her to the “Roasted Chicken Wing Sister” in her dream.

Yes, his new plan was to connect Little Fatty Girl’s dream world through Old Xia’s “dream within a dream”.

Generally, the foundation of the “dream within a dream” guided by Old Xia is her “super-connected object projection.”

But Xiang Kun speculated based on Little Fatty Girl’s connection to the “Super Sensory Item System” that if Old Xia guides Little Fatty Girl into a “dream within a dream”, it might produce different results.

As to how exactly, they would have to find out through experimentation.

After confirming that Old Xia had fallen asleep through his senses, Xiang Kun also closed his eyes and began to sense the chopsticks in the backpack on the bedside table, guiding Old Xia into the dream.

Afterwards, as planned, Old Xia also guided Little Fatty Girl’s “dream within a dream” in her dream.

Inside Little Fatty Girl’s “dream within a dream”, just like in her previous dreams, she was still dressed in that unique cloak with cat ears, a typical “little magician” appearance.

However, the scene was no longer the peak overlooking the mountain ranges as before, but the interior of a palace.

Of course, the palaces in Little Fatty Girl’s dreams would surely be different from any palace in reality.

The walls around her were pink, with various decorations of Garfield, full of strong animations and girlish style, and even the whole environment felt somewhat 2.5D. It was very unreal – even though Xiang Kun and Old Xia knew it was a dream.

The furniture in the palace didn’t have any “noble” feeling, many of them were just like the furniture in room 706 next to Xiang Kun’s, like the sofa, coffee table, even a television appeared abruptly.

The only thing that seemed a bit “courtyard” was probably the long dining table in the middle, but the food on the table was nothing “court” or “noble” at all. There were french fries, shrimp chips, BBQ, grilled chicken wings, spicy rabbit meat, dry pot rabbit, cumin ribs, chopped pepper fish, all kinds of snacks and main dishes mixed together, there was even a big hot pot, with more than ten kinds of ice cream next to the hot pot…

When Little Fatty Girl’s “dream within a dream” was just triggered, it didn’t feel much different from when Old Xia guided others into a “dream within a dream”. But soon, the entire dream world began to experience dramatic changes.

This dramatic change was not a dramatic change on the sensory level, the environment or theme of the dream, but it came from the dream’s foundation.

Xiang Kun clearly felt that the underlying structure of the dream, initially supported by Old Xia’s control of “super-connected objects”, was now being “taken over” by the “super-connected objects” controlled by Little Fatty Girl just shortly after they entered the dream.

In terms of personality, there’s no doubt that Little Fatty Girl is soft and somewhat blurry, unlike Old Xia, who is decisive and planful. But, when observing the connection established and control ability over Xiang Kun’s “Super Sensory Item System”, her ability itself is very strong.

Currently, Old Xia controls ten “super-connected objects”, including nine coins and a ball bead, whereas Little Fatty Girl controls six “super-connected objects”, including five coins and a piece of A4 paper.

In terms of numbers, Old Xia clearly has the advantage, but Xiang Kun is well aware that their methods of controlling the “Super-connected Objects” are completely different, with significant disparities in their level of control and their ability to govern dreams. When the Little Fatty Girl controlled only two coins, her pure dominion was much stronger than Old Xia’s control of ten “Super-connected Objects”.

The only difference is that Old Xia can consciously exert subjective control, whereas the Little Fatty Girl’s understanding of this ability remains vague, both in dreams and reality.

As a result, within this subconscious-dominated “dream within a dream”, as Xiang Kun refrains from “interfering”, the Little Fatty Girl’s subconscious naturally takes over the control of the underlying “Super-connected Objects” in the dream.

And that was precisely the outcome Xiang Kun had predicted and hoped for.

This was dominance on a rules-based level.

In this way, despite having this “dream within a dream” not established by the Little Fatty Girl herself, it is de facto supported by her own “Super-connected Objects”. To some extent, this has greatly “restored” her dream in which she established a connection with the “Custard Pie”.

What Xiang Kun did not expect, however, was that after the underlying dreamscape was “taken over” by the Little Fatty Girl’s instincts, Old Xia directly “projected” and “embodied” within this “dream within a dream”. Rather than acting of her own free will, she was at the mercy of the Little Fatty Girl’s dreamscape.

In the Little Fatty Girl’s “dream within a dream”, Old Xia was noticeably taller than her real-life self, probably surpassing 1.9 meters based on the scale of her and the Little Fatty Girl.

Old Xia was also dressed in a distinctive robe similar to the Little Fatty Girl’s, except without a hood, her signature ponytail slightly swaying as she moved.

It was clear that her robe was even more extravagant than the Little Fatty Girl’s.

As for her looks, her eyes were bigger than in reality, shining like stars, very spirited, and her skin seemed to glow with a soft radiance, exuding a sense of sacredness and nobility that made her appear somewhat two-dimensional, less like a real person.

Clearly, since both their abilities originated from Xiang Kun, and since he was also present in the dream, the Little Fatty Girl’s subconscious, connected through the “Super Sensory Item System”, could recognize that the “guest” in the dream was Old Xia, and projected her accordingly based on her understanding of Old Xia.

Xiang Kun could immediately understand why Old Xia’s projection in the Little Fatty Girl’s dream looked like this.

To the Little Fatty Girl, Old Xia’s image was very “tall”, a psychological height. Old Xia was like a role model, even an idol to her.

Seeing Old Xia suddenly appearing in the palace, the Little Fatty Girl was not surprised at all, as if it were expected, and greeted naturally: “‘Chicken Wing Sister’, you should eat roasted chicken wings, these are particularly delicious! Also these, these are good too! These too, they are very fragrant…”

However, Xiang Kun knew that this was not because they had informed the Little Fatty Girl about their plans for a dream meeting that night. The Little Fatty Girl was still primarily controlled by her subconscious in her dreams, and remained in a state of confusion.

Compared to the projected Old Xia, Xiang Kun in the dream was still “full-view”, able to determine for himself the angle from which to observe the dream.

“Little Lingdang, where’s ‘Custard Pie’?” Old Xia didn’t pay attention to how high and two-dimensional she looked in the Little Fatty Girl’s dreams, and directly initiated the conversation, seemingly casually asking.

“Sister, do you want to eat a custard pie? Let me see where it is…” The Little Fatty Girl lifted the hem of her robe, stood up on her chair, and scanned the table.

Old Xia reminded her, “I’m not talking about food, but the cat, your big ginger cat Custard Pie.”

“Ah! Right, where is Custard Pie?” The Little Fatty Girl froze for a moment, then turned her head and shouted to the door: “Chocolate! Ice cream! Where is my Custard Pie?”

As soon as her voice fell, the palace door opened, soft light poured in, and two stout warriors in silver armor entered first, with an Arabic numeral “1” carved on the front of their armor, their looks were lovely and adorable, just like Baymax from Big Hero 6.

Following the two silver-armored warriors was a floating “magic carpet”, and on the carpet was a cat with a disproportionately large head and ears – this was none other than the “Custard Pie” projection that Xiang Kun had once seen in the Little Fatty Girl’s dream.
