Chapter 327: Chapter 327 Chocolate, Ice Cream, and Roasted Chicken Wings
Translator: 549690339
Xia Libing glanced to the side, where a petite, plump girl, decked in a black hooded robe, was staring intently at the “grilled chicken wing” that had co-manifested in her dream via the ‘Super-connected Objects’.
Xia Libing, of course, knew who this little girl was — it was Liu Shiling, the little girl who lived in room 706 next to Xiang Kun. She had appeared in all her dreams recently.
According to Xiang Kun, this little girl was the projection of the “Emotional Infusion Item” that triggered the dream, and serves as the connection point between it and the dream.
Xiang Kun had explained that different ‘Emotional Infusion Items’ create different projections in the dream, depending on the types of emotions and the perceptions of people affected by them.
The reason why the dream projection of the chopsticks given to her ended up being this little girl was because Xiang Kun had previously sensed the emotions of this little girl while eating, then transformed those feelings and infused them into the chopsticks to complete the “Emotional Infusion”.
However, previously, whenever she became “aware” in the dream, the little girl, serving as emotional projection, would cease any specific action and revert to merely being a backdrop. Because when she is “awake”, all other existences in the dream are driven by her consciousness, and the consciousness of others in the dream is hers.
But at this moment, the little girl, looking up at her yearningly holding the chicken wing, seemed somewhat different from the emotional projection of the Emotional Infusion Item chopsticks.
Apart from other things, the set of clothes on the little girl was something Xia Libing had never seen before.
This hooded robe, judging by the style and the special gold patterns along the edges, looked like a robe for COSPLAY?
But the issue was, the material seemed like a fleece fabric found in hoodies? There were even two strings hanging from the hooded bear resembling that of a sports hoodie, and its hem swept the ground.
On top of the hood, there were two decorative pieces that looked like cat ears, and her belt buckle astoundingly was a Garfield cat’s head.
This mixed style was certainly not imaginable by Xia Libing.
Moreover, her name changed from “Old Xia sister” in previous dreams to “Sister”, and her attitude towards Xia Libing also has a conspicuous difference.
The same goes for the erratic changes in the dream environment, the unfamiliar and surreal surroundings with overly simplified and crude mountains and canyons.
Both the environment and the little girl have ceased to be under Xia Libing’s control and were foreign entities.
She knew that this was certainly Xiang Kun’s doing, but was unsure how he managed to do it.
“Sister, that chicken wing of yours looks delicious.”
The little girl looking up at her didn’t get a response, so she spoke again.
Although not explicitly said, the tone of her speech, coupled with her pleading expression and gaze, were evidently asking: can I have a bite?
So, Xia Libing acquainted her with the chicken wing that was just co-manifested, then asked, “Are you Liu Shiling?”
The little girl cheerfully accepted the visually appetizing grilled chicken wing, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, unconsciously replied, “Yeah!” But soon thought of something and looked up, earnestly saying, “No, no, I am the… most adorable, most powerful Great Wizard from the Sunshine World. I fight alongside the monster hunters and the great illuminating Archer against the evil monsters from the abyss!”
After solemnly introducing herself, she again turned towards Xia Libing with a beaming smile and said, “Sister, I’ve seen you before, you and a few other sisters have been to Uncle Bald’s house for dinner together.”
While stating, she looked at the grilled chicken wing in her hand and said, “Thank you, sister, I love grilled chicken wings. It’s just one tiny bit behind spicy rabbit meat, braised rabbit, dry fried rabbit, rabbit hot pot, chocolate, ice cream, chocolate ice cream, chocolate pancakes, plain pancakes, scrambled noodles, lamb noodles … umm… and fried chicken wings, fried shrimp… umm… thank you, sister.”
Finishing her rambling, she finally opened her mouth wide to bite into the chicken wing.
But as soon as she took a bite, instead of feeling the silky, tender, and juicy chicken wing, her teeth clanged together making a crisp sound.
The little girl looked at her empty hand in a daze, her eyes filled with astonishment and incredulity.
Seeing this, Xia Libing found it a bit strange. She had tasted the food she co-manifested in her dream; she could actually “eat” it.
Could it be that the little girl couldn’t eat it because she wasn’t created in her dream, and was not from the same system?
However, another possibility came to her mind. But as she was about to conduct a more detailed experiment, she suddenly noticed a dramatic change in the surrounding environment.
Thick clouds were swirling in the sky, and lightning dragons were surging. The sound of thunder echoed constantly, as if a lightning storm was about to arrive. A strong wind started to blow on the mountaintop where they were standing. Silhouettes started to appear in the valleys far away as if an enormous army was gathering.
Somewhere not too far away, two short, stout figures clad in silver armor fell from the sky, one with a completely black face, and the other completely white, but their facial features were indistinct.
