When she picked up the game console, the originally dark screen suddenly lit up.

A pixelated moth appeared on the screen, flapping its wings slightly once, and the screen suddenly became garbled, and then returned to normal.

A line of pixels with white text on a black background appeared on the screen.

You seem very tired.

The girl, who was sitting relaxed on the sofa, chuckled when she saw the words.

"It seems so."

She answered like this.

【You can rest here for a while. 】

"What will happen if you rest a little longer?"

Xu Zhi asked.

Nothing will happen.

【You should take a shower and change your clothes. 】

"Well, forget it. I'll get wet when I get out anyway."

Xu Zhi sighed.

The game console seemed silent for a moment.

[You don't have the personality to enjoy hardship. You're already exhausted. Leaving here and moving on will only make you more exhausted.]

Xu Zhi leaned back on the sofa, his legs casually placed, one hand holding the game console, the other supporting his face: "What can I do?"

"Stay here? What's the point of staying here?"

[You can also be promoted successfully if you stay here. ]

"I don't believe it."

Xu Zhi refuted quite quickly.

【.】

[I didn't lie to you. By reaching this point, you've already completed your promotion. You only need to wait for the dream to fade away, and you'll achieve your status. There's no need to take any more risks.]

Xu Zhi still said the same thing.

"I don't believe it."

Seeing Xu Zhi so determined, the game console stopped mentioning the matter of letting her rest and asked instead.

Aren't you angry?

"anger?"

Xu Zhi repeated the word and then smiled indifferently: "What's there to be angry about?"

She was very clear that she was in a dream and could tell what was real and what was fake.

What's more, it's not entirely false.

This isn't like you before.

"Indeed." Xu Zhi nodded seriously.

If she was still young and naive at that time, the first thing she would probably do is smash the game console instead of chatting with it calmly.

[Are you really going out?]

"Why? Is there any reason why I should stay?"

Xu Zhi asked back.

[The road out there is not easy. You can no longer take anything with you. You have to face it on your own.]

It obviously meant that Xu Zhi couldn't even take the lantern with him, but Xu Zhi was surprised and said, "If I can't take anything with me, then you still want me to take a shower and change clothes?"

“That’s too bad.”

【.】

[.That’s not the point, the clothes are still wearable!]

When Xu Zhi saw this line of words, he suddenly laughed out loud.

[Stop joking.]

If you want to leave, leave now.

"Yeah, okay."

Xu Zhi nodded and was about to throw the game console back onto the coffee table, but at this moment a line of words suddenly appeared on the screen again.

If I say I have a way for you to take me away, I mean take me out, away from the big dream.

Xu Zhi paused for a moment, then with a snap, he threw the game console back onto the coffee table.

"I don't believe it."

【.】

【All right. 】

The other party seemed to be completely speechless.

Seeing Xu Zhi struggling to stand up from the sofa, a line of words appeared on its old screen again.

Good luck, Xu Zhi.

After reading it, Xu Zhi walked towards the door without looking back: "Of course, I have always been lucky."

She saw the footprints she had left on the ground when she came here, heavy and slow, just like her body which had not recovered at all after a short rest.

Of course there will be no recovery, because this is not a place to rest at all.

Xu Zhi's mind was very clear. She knew that the moth that flashed across the screen at the beginning was a reminder, and the fact that she had sat for so long and had not recovered any strength was evidence.

After entering the room, only her spirit was constantly craving this comfortable feeling, and her will seemed to be sinking along with the soft sofa. When she sat down, then got up from the sofa, opened the door, and continued to withstand the wind and rain, it seemed to become extremely difficult.

But Xu Zhi did not covet this false comfort.

Only when she turned the doorknob did she hesitate for a moment, but the next moment, she firmly opened the door, walked out, and continued her journey.

When the door opened, there was no corridor outside, but a jungle shrouded in fog.

She was no longer standing in front of the door of the wooden house, but had already walked through the wooden house. Just one more step would take her to a completely new place she had never been to before.

Xu Zhi took this step firmly without hesitation. Her decisiveness had even reached a crazy level. She did not hesitate or regret for a moment and never wavered. This was definitely not the mentality that a normal person could possess.

The new road was not easy to walk on. The extraordinary energy that she had never consumed was running wildly at this moment. Every step she took seemed to drain some of her extraordinary energy away by the forest.

The extraordinary energy seemed to turn into money, buying the number of steps she could take on this path.

And when her steps paused slightly due to fatigue, the road under her feet would turn into mud and her body would begin to sink. She had to take the next step immediately to break free.

The extraordinary energy she paid was probably different from that of ordinary people. She had to pay both the [Moth] and the [Lamp] at the same time to move forward.

As the extraordinary energy in her body was gradually exhausted, she had only taken less than a hundred steps on this new path.

Xu Zhi was somewhat dissatisfied, but the extraordinary energy in her body had been exhausted. It was as if a wall of air suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her from moving forward.

The ground beneath her feet began to soften, dragging her body down.

Xu Zhi suddenly frowned. She didn't like this feeling, the feeling of being powerless and passively waiting for the result. She also didn't like the feeling of being dragged down by something.

So she began to struggle, trying to take a step forward. She pulled her legs out of the mud again and again, and kept hitting the invisible obstacles in front of her. Blood began to flow from the parts she hit, but Xu Zhi didn't feel any pain at all.

Her physical strength was being overdrawn, and she relied entirely on her willpower to support her movements. When she reached a critical point, Xu Zhi's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. However, at the moment when she was about to lose consciousness, she shook her head violently and regained her precarious sanity.

It was this almost stubborn action that made Xu Zhi seem to hear some breaking sounds. Half of her body was almost buried in the mud, but at this moment she used up the last bit of her strength, overdrawing herself to climb up and climb out of the mud. Then she couldn't even stand up straight, and could only roll sideways in the direction she originally wanted to go, and then she completely lost her strength.

But it was also at this moment that she broke through the invisible restrictions and shackles and reached a place she shouldn't have been.

Suddenly, deafening thunder resounded through the sky.

A silver-white lightning bolt carrying a powerful and secret aura fell from the sky and landed directly on Xu Zhi. At that moment, a strong light flashed before Xu Zhi's eyes. She almost felt like she was blind again. Then there was a severe pain and a feeling of discomfort as if her brain was split open and something was forced into her.

No prize guessing game, what will Xiao Xu’s [name] be?
