?Chapter 92: Chapter 91: Kidnap Aina and give her delicious food hehe~_1 Chapter 92: Chapter 91: Kidnap Aina and give her delicious food hehe~_1 Luo Xi frowned and said, “What do you mean?”
“Just as it sounds.”
The young man said in a mysterious tone, “You should already know that any enhancement of the soul and body that originates from that world synchronizes and affects us in the real world, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Then, have you ever considered how this synchronization occurs?”
Luo Xi thought for a moment and said, “Quantum mechanics?”
The young man: “…You’re quite the joker, but okay, I’ll stop beating around the bush.”
“‘Dawn’ involves a dream world that is actually a real-world, so the so-called enhancement is actually a projection of ourselves that is created in a way beyond our imagination in that world. Any change to the essence and soul of the projection will similarly change us in the real world.”
Luo Xi interlocked his fingers. “And then?”
The young man patted his bag and smiled, “I have a secret technique that can let a person gain double or even triple the benefits from these changes. If the projection in that world receives a bit of enhancement, in this world, it will gain threefold, fourfold, or even more enhancement!”
Luo Xi frowned, “What do you mean?”
The young man laughed, “Just as it sounds, it can make your real body become stronger many times faster than before!”
“How much is it?” Luo Xi asked.
The young man’s eyebrows twitched, “As long as you join our organization, the secret technique will be given to you for free, not costing you a penny!”
Luo Xi said with declining interest, “Forget it, I’m not interested.”
The young man was taken aback. “Why not?”
“I don’t believe in this kind of thing.”
Luo Xi looked at the man’s face, squinted his eyes and said, “Don’t tell me that your secret technique comes without any cost. I don’t believe in pie falling from the sky, and now I’m really questioning your background and purpose. If you don’t give me an explanation, I’m going to call the Dreamland Travel Bureau.”
The young man’s smile vanished as he stood up from the sofa and pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands.
“Since you don’t believe me, brother, let’s meet again another time. But I think you’ll regret it soon.”
With that, the young man left the cat café with an air of urgency.
Luo Xi did not try to stop him.
He had absolutely no interest in joining any organizations or associations—who knows what they might be up to. Sear?h the N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“What’s wrong?” Ai Xue asked as she walked over.
“Nothing.”
Luo Xi stood up and stretched.
With the game’s mystery also seemed to come a myriad of strange characters and opportunists.
All he could do now was to try his best to become stronger.
Ding!
His phone made a notification sound out of the blue.
Luo Xi saw a notification pop up on his phone.
[“Dawn” 1.1 beta version is now live. This update does not require confirmation and will update automatically. Update contents include [Text Projection] [Crisis Online Alert] and fixes to certain bugs. Players who have exploited these bugs for unfair advantages will also face punishment and account bans.]
The game updated?!
Luo Xi looked at the push notification from the game.
Bug fixes… Players exploiting bugs will be penalized and banned.
Why did he feel like the guy who asked if he wanted cheats earlier was in big trouble?
In a small rental housing complex where ten people gathered.
A chorus of angry curses suddenly erupted.
“Damn, where’s my account?”
“Why can’t I log in anymore?!”
“This update is targeting us, isn’t it!”
The young man in white who had left the cat café was walking and muttering to himself about yet another ignorant player who would regret not seeing our organization’s power. Then he glanced at his phone and exploded.
“Goddamn it, I got these cheats fair and square; why you banning my account!”
…
[Update successful, enjoy your gaming experience]
What changes will there be?
Luo Xi reopened the game.
Above the screen was a new icon resembling a television, as well as a triangular symbol next to it.
Pressing the icon, the following description appeared.
[Text Projection]
[Description: After activating this feature, the text displayed on your phone will be directly projected in front of your eyes, Traveler.]
[Crisis Online Alert]
[Description: After activating this feature, when you encounter danger in the Dream World, a strong warning will resonate in the mind of your real-world self.]
Luo Xi thought to himself, awesome!
This update is too user-friendly, isn’t it?
That way he wouldn’t have to keep staring at his phone.
He could completely play the game while working—two birds with one stone!
Let’s see what Wei’er and Aina are up to after their meal.
Luo Xi tapped the symbol.
Suddenly, lines of text appeared before his eyes, similar to the floating text that synchronized to the Dream World, but seeming even more ethereal.
[Traveler, after you finished your meal, you returned to the room where Wei’er and the others were, and saw the two Little Lolitas still nibbling on their noodles—Aina, the Little Wolf Girl, in particular, was eating with such passion that her eyes brimmed with tears, slurping down both noodle soup and long noodles in a single gulp.]
[Hearing footsteps, the Little Wolf Girl looked back at you and wiped her tears away, saying, “Has Aina not eaten anything this delicious since Mom left, brother? What do you think of the taste?”]
[Traveler, you said: “It’s pretty good. If I have the chance in the future, I’ll take you, Aina, to eat even better food.”]
[Note: Let me translate here, what the garbage traveler means is, once I’ve whisked you away, I’ll let you, Aina, eat lots of tasty food, he he he~]
Damn text, who are you calling hey!
Why didn’t this update add a mute function!
[“Haah—”]
[Wei’er placed her chopsticks aside and yawned with her hand over her mouth.]
[Traveler, you remembered that Wei’er had taken the latter half of the night shift yesterday, so it was normal for her to feel sleepy now.]
[“Are you done eating?” Shopkeeper Lena walked in from outside, saying, “Once you’re finished, I’ll clear the bowls. You can rest in the afternoon. Winter City seems a bit chaotic right now; it’s best to stay inside the house.”]
[Traveler, you looked up and said, “Chaotic?”]
[Shopkeeper Lena said, “Yes, it’s not just you who have entered the Inner City. Many Variants are gathering at a temporary shelter in the east. The residents are protesting in the streets, claiming they will pollute the air and spread calamitous factors, wanting to drive them away.”]
[Wei’er and Aina both shuddered slightly.]
[Seeing this, Lena quickly said, “Don’t worry, I won’t drive you away. You can stay as long as you like; rest this afternoon.”]
[Traveler, you suddenly remembered, hadn’t the shopkeeper only given you three people one room?]
[Remembering something, Lena looked at you and said, “Oh, I’ve unlocked the room next door on the right for you to stay in.”]
[Ding! Your Happiness Level -10]
Suddenly, Luo Xi caught a faint scent in his nostrils.
“Senior, why are you standing there? Are you tired, senior?”
Ai Xue approached him at some point, looking up at Luo Xi who seemed to be daydreaming, “By the way, who was that person just now? Why did they leave after sitting for only a short while?”
Luo Xi: “…”
Today, this junior was dressed in autumn wear; looking from the top down, a white blouse outlined an elegant seam.
Luo Xi averted his eyes.
He feigned composure and said, “Sorry, I spaced out for a moment.”
Why did he suddenly feel that this underclassman’s allure was quite substantial?
Something was off!
The text floating before his eyes jumped.
[Note: You’re right on track, garbage traveler! Being interested in animal-eared Little Lolitas is what’s off!]

Starting tomorrow, there will only be two updates each day temporarily. I haven’t had much time to write these past few days, and I’m running out of saved drafts. I’ll resume three updates per day after the 17th.
