Chapter 389: First Encounter with Meng Huangliang! Building Dreams!
Chapter 389: First Encounter with Meng Huangliang! Building Dreams!
The scorching sun shone high in the sky.
Su Ping felt like he had returned to the mortal realm.
Within the Dragon City, without the sun and the sky, everything seemed surreal, and even the flow of time became hazy and indistinct.
This feeling made Su Ping feel a little uncomfortable.
After leaving this place, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out his phone to check the time. It had only been a few hours since he entered the Dragon City and conversed with the Holy Dragon Legend.
It was now 1 p.m., and he still had plenty of time.
"Dragon Sister!"
Su Ping greeted Dragon Two, who was standing guard at the Dragon City entrance, the same corner where they had met in the capital.
"Do you know where the Life Source Convalescent Home is?" Su Ping asked.
Dragon Two was slightly taken aback by Su Ping's question, and it took her a moment to process it.
After thinking for a moment, she nodded, "If there's only one convalescent home in the capital with that name, then I should know about it."
Su Ping nodded.
"Let's go there."
Dragon Two didn't ask why, and they drove in the car provided by the Dragon Dynasty Club. Following a route unfamiliar to Su Ping, they made several turns and arrived at a secluded neighborhood.
Just as the Holy Dragon Legend had said, a seemingly ordinary convalescent home appeared before them.
Most of the people coming and going were elderly, some accompanied by their children, and there were also some extremely aged Beast Companions.
Apparently, this convalescent home served not only humans but also provided services for aged Beast Companions.
"Hello, I'd like to visit a patient named Meng Yan, who is in the psychiatry department," Su Ping said.
If it weren't for the Holy Dragon Legend's words, Su Ping would never have believed that this legendary agent, whom the Eagle Kingdom was after, would be found in such a place.
The nurse at the reception desk glanced at Su Ping and nodded, seemingly unaware of who he was. She didn't even ask Su Ping to register and instead picked up an intercom, "Someone wants to visit Patient 43, take them there!"
In a virtual reality to visit Patient 43, a middle-aged woman in a white lab coat and black-framed glasses came over, smiling at Su Ping, "Hello, Su Ping, I'm the nurse for Patient 43, please follow me."
Su Ping raised his eyebrows and followed the nurse, accompanied by Dragon Two.
Along the way, there was no unnecessary conversation, and Su Ping didn't ask why the nurse knew who he was.
As they walked, Su Ping observed that it seemed like a very ordinary convalescent home, and he couldn't discern anything else.
However, as they walked further, Su Ping sensed that there were fewer people around.
Moreover, they didn't take the stairs but kept walking through the corridors.
Finally, the white-coated nurse stopped in front of a room, "Su Ping, this is it! Rest assured, Meng Colonel's soul contract has been sealed, his mental power is suppressed, and he can't harm you!"
Su Ping nodded, but even with this assurance, Dragon Two didn't intend to leave him alone in this seemingly ordinary room.
It was a simple single room.
There was even a separate bathroom and shower, as well as an immaculately clean bed.
A man stood by the bed, facing away from the door.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man smiled, "Amei, you've already had lunch..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he turned around and saw two unfamiliar faces. He was slightly taken aback but quickly recovered, "Hello, who are you..."
Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
The man before him didn't show any signs of mental disorder at all.
In fact, he seemed perfectly normal.
Su Ping smiled, "Hello, Senior Meng, I'm Su Ping. You might not have heard of my name, but I'm here to..."
Before Su Ping could finish, the man's firm face broke into a smile, "No, no, it's just a formality. I know who you are! You're the newly renowned talent breeder in the Dragon Kingdom.
"Not even twenty years old, and you've already bred two super-tier skills, one of which is even hall-level. Haha, the recent dream trends are getting stranger and more interesting, and now there's an appearance of such an unconventional talent.
"It seems that the creativity of the cunning Eagle has diminished, hahaha."
The man laughed heartily, but Su Ping pursed his lips.
"Senior Meng, do you think that all of this is within a dream, and I am a fictional character?"
"What else could it be? Of course, perhaps you are also a real person in reality, just not going by this name. Maybe in the real Dragon Kingdom, there is such a talented individual."
"Or perhaps your prototype is an exceptional breeder from the Eagle Kingdom, but in the dream, you've become the so-called Su Ping, a beastmaster from the Dragon Kingdom?"
"Even now, as I look at you, my thoughts at this moment might be what the cunning Eagle is guessing in reality, right? Through you, they might guess that a talented breeder has appeared in the Eagle Kingdom. But betraying the Dragon Kingdom? Give up, I will never betray my homeland!"
Meng Yan smiled as he spoke his mind.
However, these words made Su Ping feel an unprecedented absurdity and bewilderment. He now somewhat understood why the person before him was in such a state, even the Holy Dragon Legend seemed helpless.
This legendary spy was truly extraordinary. It was precisely because of his exceptional abilities and the switching between reality and dreams that his perception of the world and self had some issues.
Even his logic and meticulous mind allowed him to find the other's flaws in any situation, completing a seamless self-contained logical loop!
As long as I believe that everything before my eyes is fake, no one will obtain even a shred of intelligence from me!
So, without harming the other party, how can I change things?
Unless I find their flaw, but Su Ping had just met this person, and he knew almost nothing about him. How could he possibly achieve this?
His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he smiled, "Interesting, Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, and the butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou? Is this a side effect of entering dreams?"
"Hmm?"
Meng Yan was slightly taken aback. "Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly? What does that mean? Is it also related to the Dream Butterfly beast?"
Su Ping didn't hide anything and told the original story.
This madman, who couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality, found this amusing little story quite intriguing.
As for Long Er?
She never bothered with trivial matters unrelated to her tasks.
"Haha, interesting. Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, and the butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou. In the dream, one becomes a beast, unable to differentiate between dreams and reality?"
This time, the cunning Eagle's methods were quite impressive. Creating an illusory character like this was somewhat interesting, and he could even tell such a fable to mock me.
Meng Yan shook his head and laughed, finding this little story extremely amusing.
Su Ping also laughed. He didn't try to change anything.
So many existences, and even a Time Attribute Holy Spirit Beastmaster, or possibly a legendary being, couldn't achieve this. How could he?
He now found the person before him quite interesting.
"You believe this is a dream, so why did you speak to the caregiver who looks after you?"
"That question, you asked when you came here before. Isn't it also the Holy Dragon who came to inquire personally?
I know, this is your way of giving me psychological hints through repetitive questioning, proving that the questioners are independent individuals. But this dream is incomplete without this person.
I won't fall for it, so don't waste your efforts.
So, when you ask, I'll tell you, in this dream, a person like this is necessary.
To achieve the construction of others' dreams, the foundation of the setting must be solid. Ah Mei is Ah Mei, but she doesn't have to be Ah Mei. She could be Ah Lan or Ah Hong, anyone.
The key is that this is a necessary foundation setting for the dream. If this person doesn't exist, my existence in the dream will be incomplete.
This chapter is arranged by Liushujiubarbara~~
Of course, after hearing my words, you must have made Ah Mei leave, right? But what does it matter in this dream? I'm an ordinary person here.
When I'm about to starve or die of thirst, 'Ah Mei' will still appear."
Su Ping stared at the man before him.
This imagination was truly incredible.
So, according to his logic, this massive 'dream' can only be 'broken' if he 'dies'? The problem is, in the Dragon Kingdom, they can't really let him die!
Isn't this unsolvable?
Then, did the Dragon Kingdom try to make him appear dead before? But Su Ping quickly realized that even he could figure this out, so how could the Holy Dragon Legend and the Time Attribute Beastmasters not know?
However, the outcome was as expected, so the result doesn't need further explanation.
And soon, Su Ping captured another piece of information:
"Dream construction?"
"Yes, dreams are an extension of psychic energy, and even an abstract, illusory world formed by psychic energy.
But it also follows the basic logic of the real world, otherwise, those trapped in dreams will instinctively sense something amiss.
Once they realize they are in a dream, the dream world will become extremely unstable and may even collapse instantly!"
Meng Yan didn't hide anything and smiled as he explained to Su Ping.
These words made Su Ping fall into deep contemplation.
"Dream..."
He muttered to himself.
His third companion beast.
As a unique mutant psychic-type mechanical companion beast, the Dream Core created by Fatty was a result of his curiosity about dreams.
And the Hall Breeder with the unique super skill related to dreams, was right before him.
Su Ping pursed his lips and asked a rather baffling question:
"Can dreams create a real illusory world?"
"Hmm?" The man before him was slightly taken aback and looked at Su Ping with suspicion:
"Little guy, what are you talking about? What do you mean? Illusory and real are opposite and independent terms, what do you mean by a real illusory world?"
In Su Ping's mind, a dazzling light seemed to shine through.
This situation made him excited and thrilled.
When he first saw the Five Elements Cycle Diagram left by Xue Hongluan, he had felt this way.
And now, this feeling appeared again.
"Can dreams connect the dreams of all living beings in a certain area? Can a real dream world be formed through psychic energy? Putting aside other things, Elder Meng, your Dream Entry skill can do that, right?
I remember, your Dream Entry skill can enter others' dreams, and if you kill someone in their dream, the person in the real world will also die, right?
This is the main manifestation of dreams affecting reality! If everyone's dreams are connected..."
Upon hearing this, Meng Huangliang was slightly taken aback, then laughed and shook his head:
"Little guy, where did you hear about this?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows: "Among the Hall Super Skills, Dream Entry..."
"Hehe, Dream Entry can indeed affect reality and also kill opponents through this skill.
But it's not as you imagine, it's not about affecting reality through dreams.
It's about making a lethal mental attack on the opponent's spirit and soul in the dream, which should be different from what you had in mind."
Hmm? Su Ping was slightly taken aback, is that so?
He had thought it was similar to the methods of Freddy, the 'Ghostly Chaplin'.
"Moreover, Dream Entry has significant limitations, and in my opinion, my Dream Entry reaching the Hall Rank has a lot of water in it.
It's purely due to your incompetence that I managed to steal a lot of critical information with this skill, so that cunning hawk of yours wanted to elevate the opponent and allowed Dream Entry to reach the Hall Rank, and even in essence, Dream Entry doesn't even qualify as a Super Skill, it was formed by me due to a fortunate coincidence."
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed again.
He had originally thought that by combining Dream Entry with the principles of Dream Core, he might be able to create a special real dream world.
In this world, Fatty's combat power could finally be improved, and he could also find some directions for this guy's evolution.
But now it seems that might not be the case.
Su Ping fell into deep contemplation.
The Meng Yan before him didn't rush him, but watched with great interest as the 'NPC' created by dreams stood before him.
This NPC was indeed different from the previous ones.
It seemed like a real thing.
What surprised Meng Yan even more was that after thinking for a moment, Su Ping stood up, bowed slightly, and said:
"Thank you for your guidance, Elder. I've gained a lot from this visit, and I will come again tomorrow. At that time, I will bring you a gift.
That thing is the result of my companion beast's efforts in the dream world, and I hope you will like it!"
Su Ping wanted to see what Meng Huangliang, who had such insights into dreams, thought of the Dream Core.
At the same time, Su Ping also figured out his next research direction, which was entirely his own.
A breeding research direction with 'Fatty' as the main subject.
