Chapter 477: Chapter 286: Harmonizing in the Dream_1

[You come to the riverside with a fish basket, feeling pleased and start fishing with a net.]

[A warm breeze passes by and ripples spread across the mirror-like lake. Colorful fish swim to the surface, breathing in the fresh air. You’re catching a fish in your net every minute...]

After being entangled by the octopus-like umbilical cords, the game character enters that space again and continues his work.

Mu You tried all possible operations, but the game didn’t react at all. It seemed that as long as he was in this Castle World, he could only be a spectator.

Luckily, he still had the means to log out.

Mu You tried logging in again. This time, before being pulled into the Castle World, he was able to navigate his panel.

Mu You clicked on Phantom Thief Mask.

[You attempt to swap positions with the nearest Decoy Avatar.]

[Position swap successful! You appear in the cavern of the Fourth Level.]

Sure enough, he can return anytime.

The swapping distance of the Decoy Avatar is only one hundred meters, and just now he walked hundreds of miles in that Castle World. Since he could still swap, it meant that his body actually hadn’t moved and was always trapped near the entrance of the cavern. As for that mysterious world, it was probably some kind of illusion or dream. Therefore, moving in that world was like dreaming and wouldn’t consume any energy.

"A dream, huh..."

This speculation gave Mu You an idea, and he immediately entered the Core Space.

At this moment, Lin Xue hadn’t returned home yet. Ye Rumeng was grooming the unicorn by the river, and Lin Xue was braiding the little girl’s hair.

"What, couldn’t get to the fifth level?" Seeing Mu You approach, Lin Xue paused her braiding and asked.

Mu You shook his head and told her about the changes in the game he had just experienced.

After he finished, he looked at the little girl.

"Meng Meng, you said before that you can go in and out of dreams at any time, right?"

"Mm-hmm." The little girl nodded proudly.

"Then can you control whether other people enter the dream?" Mu You asked again.

"Huh?" This time, the little girl was hesitant. After thinking for a moment, she finally shook her head: "I haven’t tried it..."

"Then how did you pull me into the dream last time?" asked Mu You. The first time he met the little girl in the zoo space, he was pulled into a half-dream, half-wake state by her. Not just him, but also the two civets, they also entered the dream with her.

"That... was a coincidence..." The little girl waved her hands and gave him an outlandish explanation.

Mu You managed to understand. She seemed to possess the ability to send people into dreams, but due to the lack of specific training, the ability was unstable, working sometimes and not other times. Last time, she wanted to pet the kitten so badly that she accidentally activated it.

"You mean?" Lin Xue understood what Mu You was getting at. It seemed that he wanted to use the little girl’s ability to affect the state of the game character.

Mu You nodded: "The game character is an avatar of the mind of the body. There is a real-time connection between the two in many ways. The only thing that separates the two sides is the ’wall’ between two worlds. Since the game character has now been dragged into the dream world, he has bypassed the connection with the wall. If the body also dreams at this time, he may be able to synchronize with the game character, thereby gaining the viewpoint and control of the body on the other side."

"In theory... this is indeed possible..." After pondering for a moment, Lin Xue also nodded.

"Let’s try it..." This was only a guess, and Mu You wasn’t sure, so he decided to give it a try. After all, there was no loss if it failed.

Ye Rumeng’s ability had to be activated in the backpack space. Mu You found a place to lie down in the Core Space, then handed his phone running "The Fool" to Lin Xue.

"If I successfully enter the dream and don’t wake up after half an hour... turn it off!"

Outsiders can’t see Mu You’s game screen and text, but since he has already tested that turning off the phone can force the character out of that world, the same operation should also be able to forcibly wake him up.

"Ok." Lin Xue took the phone and nodded.

"Then, then I’ll start?" Ye Rumeng sat on the side, her hands nervously clenched on her chest. This was her first time trying to actively help someone enter a dream.

"Go ahead." Mu You nodded, laid down on the ground, and closed his eyes.

The little girl stretched out her two cold hands and placed them on Mu You’s forehead.

After several minutes of clear consciousness, Mu You finally felt a wave of sleepiness coming, but it was very slight and he was far from falling asleep.

Only after closing his eyes for five minutes did he feel a vague sense of consciousness doubling, as if a huge force was pulling him down, causing his body to sink bit by bit.

Mu You wanted to examine this force instinctively, but then a childish voice rang in his ears.

"Mu You, relax..."

Relax...

Mu You recited these two words in his head and chose to do as they suggested, gradually emptying his mind until he was not thinking of anything, as if to relieve the fatigue of the last few days.

And after attempting this, the effect was quite noticeable. His consciousness grew increasingly drowsy and he gradually forgot everything...

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt a strong light sting his eyes.

Upon opening his eyes, he found himself on a sunny grassy plain, with a river in front of him and a fishing net in it. A basket by his side was already half full of fish.

"I really... made it..."

Mu You was a bit surprised.

At this moment, he felt no sense of dreaming. Everything in front of him looked so real.

Regaining his senses, Mu You quickly checked his own status.

The first thing he could confirm was that all his equipment and items, including the Phantom Thief Mask, had disappeared. At this moment, he was only dressed in the most basic outfit of the Phantom Thief skin.

In addition, the most obvious feeling was: his body felt so heavy!

The gravity in this space was obviously higher than reality, making his body feel like it was filled with lead and difficult to move.

Luckily, his body’s properties and skin effects were not sealed, which allowed him to have enough strength to work and move in this space.

After testing his physical attributes, next was the most important thing, magic! This was his main source of combat power.

The magic power within his body seemed to be frozen, like it’s under the effect of a silence spell. However, the black magic crystal in his mind was as clear as a lighthouse in the dark night.

Mu You looked around and confirmed that no one was noticing him. He reached out his right hand and concentrated a Small Fireball in front of him.

A thumb-sized fireball appeared and shot forward, losing most of its power. It extinguished after a few meters, becoming a real ’Small Fireball’.

"Lack of concentration?"

Mu You concentrated his spirit, forcefully connected to the black magic crystal, and tried casting the spell again.

A basin-sized fireball quietly appeared in front of Mu You. The temperature rose rapidly, but as soon as it appeared, Mu You extinguished it in time.

He now no longer had the Time Pocket Watch, so he couldn’t be as reckless as before.

In short, the result of the test was: standard magic couldn’t be used, but black magic could be used normally if he concentrated his mind to about twice as much as usual.
