Chapter 036: City of Dreams (V)

Warehouse and staff dormitory of Nadusong Express Company

Bai Tao lay on the cardboard sofa and yawned out of boredom.

Thanks to the Dream City News Department, the entire Dream City knows that there is a courier in the local delivery company who likes to pretend to be a human-eating monster.

Given that Naduosong has few employees and even fewer couriers, the description of the work clothes has gone from +∞ to +∞∞.

Put on your work clothes and run away immediately from any living creature, no matter what species it is.

So Bai Tao's days after coming out of the Yu Ji Seafood Restaurant copy were very comfortable, so comfortable that she was a little bored.

She hasn't entered the dungeon to play for a whole week!

I deliver one Class C express every day, and after completing my performance target, I start to do nothing. It's like I'm entering retirement life early.

If Bai Tao hadn't felt that her emotions were becoming increasingly irritable, she might have been willing to live a comfortable life for a while longer.

The visceral disgust for humanoids, the bloodthirsty impulse, the increasingly violent thoughts, and the desire to eat living things...

Bai Tao is being influenced by the Dream City.

This influence has been present since it came out of the biological laboratory and has become increasingly evident recently.

Maybe we should release Lao Deng and ask him about his reform and his true nature.

Knock knock knock——

The warehouse door rang, it was Miss Yang.

After several 'friendly' exchanges, Miss Sheep finally learned to knock on the door.

"Bai Tao!" When their eyes met, Miss Yang subconsciously forced out a flattering smile, "Someone is looking for you."

Miss Yang reacted: "..."

She was conquered by Bai Tao's charm, and was definitely not afraid of her strength.

She raised her voice slightly: "It's a messenger from the City Hall."

Bai Tao inquired about her colleagues' backgrounds indirectly. She found out that Miss Yang was a third-class citizen. She was born with a sheep's head and had no childhood. After she grew up, she joined a courier company and worked as a receptionist.

Because of luck, Miss Yang was promoted to become the HR and receptionist of the express company even though most of the company's employees died.

This was all Bai Tao could find out. As for her parents, Miss Yang said she couldn't remember clearly.

Miss Yang's reaction at that time was exactly the same as Bai Jingjing's behavior in front of Bai Tao.

——blinking a pair of big watery eyes and looking straight at people.

This is a sign of distorted cognition and low IQ.

"Where's the letter?" Bai Tao asked.

Miss Sheep: "The messenger won't give it to me."

Miss Yang wiped the corners of her eyes in a pretentious manner.

Baitao: "..."

Don’t wipe it anymore. The corners of my eyes have turned red, but I haven’t shed a single tear.

Bai Tao glanced at Miss Yang's arm. It was full of pits and pits, and a few patches of skin were pink and tender, different from the skin color elsewhere. It was obviously new flesh that had just grown.

There was no doubt that Miss Yang had been beaten up, most likely by the messenger.

This is normal. In the City of Dreams, weakness is the original sin.

Bai Tao stood up and prepared to meet the messenger from the city hall.

The messenger is a bird with beautiful black and white feathers on its wings. The only ugly part of its body is its head - a monkey head.

This completely ruins its beauty.

Bai Tao has become immune to all kinds of strange creatures in the Dream City.

"Bai Tao?" The messenger stood up from the sofa, confirmed her identity, and handed the notice to Bai Tao.

"Your letter, congratulations on your upgrade from a third-class citizen to a second-class citizen. When you are free, you can go to the city hall to change your citizenship level and receive the second-class citizen code of conduct."

"Second class citizen? Can I ask why?"

The messenger nodded. "Of course, you have the right to know the reason. You have evolved. If you are willing to maintain your halfling form and continue to evolve until you completely become a spider, you will be directly promoted to a first-class citizen."

The subtext is that the less human one is, the higher the citizen level.

It seems that evolution happens often. A horrible guess emerged in Bai Tao's mind: could the half-lings and animal-headed people have been humans in the past?

Apparently the Messenger is a first-class citizen, and a very, very annoying first-class citizen at that.

Miss Yang was a little disappointed because the messenger was very "polite" and did not ask for a tip. He directly handed the letter to Bai Tao, and the man and the bird had a friendly exchange.

It seems that I can only let today's beating go.

In the City of Dreams, the weak have no dignity. Miss Yang lowered her head. She had long been accustomed to it.

"Thank you for your answer." Bai Tao turned around and ordered, "Miss Yang, close the door."

Closed in broad daylight? The company still has to operate!

Miss Yang was confused, but she had already used up her self-healing quota today and didn't want to be beaten a second time in the short term, so she did as she was told.

She closed the door, and then she saw Hakuto transformed into spider form.

After spending some time together, Miss Yang also got to know Bai Tao a little. Transformation often means one thing - she is going to hit someone.

The messenger sensed something was wrong and flapped her wings to fly into the air, but this was indoors and she had nowhere to escape.

Bai Tao jumped up and punched the messenger on the head, causing it to fall from the air, then stepped on its head.

"Hey, that's not fair, I didn't offend you." The messenger was puzzled. Before coming, it had made sure that the client was not a bird-eating spider.

Bai Tao manually shut the messenger up, and her chelicerae carefully avoided the messenger's skin: "That's right, you didn't offend me, and you can't offend my friends either. You hit me, and I pluck my hair. This is fair."

Bai Tao grabbed the messenger's neck and warned: "Next time you dare to attack my receptionist, it won't just be your hair that will be lost!"

Bai Tao told Miss Yang to open the door, and then threw the bald bird out.

Miss Yang was a little confused. It all happened too fast, and she seemed to hear a very extraordinary word.

--friend

Miss Sheep has never had any friends, and the City of Dreams is not a good place to make friends. It is a place where the law of the jungle prevails and it is full of betrayal, and Miss Sheep is a weakling.

——She doesn’t even have the power to stand at the bottom of the pyramid.

Miss Yang was silent for a while, then asked, "Did you attack the messenger because of me?"

"Yes." This was partly the reason, but more importantly, it was because she didn't like the bird. However, Bai Tao was too lazy to explain so much. She yawned and prepared to go back to the warehouse and continue lying down.

After walking two steps, Bai Tao stopped and asked, "By the way, do you know of a restaurant where we can eat?"

That horrifying conjecture was still lingering in Bai Tao's mind. Bai Tao planned to find some samples in the City of Dreams and observe them.

After a long time without response, Bai Tao turned around.

Baitao: "?"

No, why did you cry? Pain delay?

Without waiting for Bai Tao to ask what happened.

Miss Sheep wiped the tears from her face and answered, "Pet shop. Huahua Pet Shop sells human food."

"Do you mean humans by pets?" Bai Tao felt her fist itching.

Miss Sheep explained with some hesitation: "There are humans, and there are other species, including sheep, but humans are the most numerous. Those people have defects, so they don't have citizenship."

"Does that also refer to sheep?"

Miss Sheep lowered her voice and said, "There are also goat-headed people like me, centaurs, birds, and spiders."

Baitao: "..."

The guess that had just arisen was negated by the existence of "Huahua Pet Shop". Bai Tao became more and more curious about the ecology of Dream City.

As for what kind of defects would cause a person to lose their citizenship, Miss Yang said she didn't know.

"Yes, thank you." Bai Tao couldn't help but ask, "So why are you crying?"

Miss Yang: "I, I didn't cry." Only the weak would cry, and she didn't want to be a weak person.

Baitao: "..."

The tears gathered into a small puddle in front of the hooves.

"Yes, yes, you didn't cry."

The wounds have healed, so there is no need to use flesh and blood regeneration reagents. Maybe the front desk clerk was under great mental stress and suddenly collapsed.

Bai Tao didn't want to study monster psychology, so she turned and left.

Miss Yang caught up with him and asked cautiously, "Do you really think I'm your friend?"

Normal people don’t want to and are not willing to be friends with monsters, but Bai Tao has a good impression of Miss Yang.

——Because sheep are vegetarians, and so are horses.

Under Miss Yang's expectant gaze, Bai Tao nodded.

Miss Yang raised the corners of her mouth, but then forced herself to suppress it. It was just a new friend, and if she was too happy she would be looked down upon.

Miss Yang nodded modestly: "You are my friend too."

After watching Bai Tao return to the warehouse, Miss Yang walked back to her workstation with brisk steps, thinking that the weather was really nice today.

&&&

Bai Tao returned to the warehouse, and the Centaur Minister was still outside delivering a package and had not returned yet.

Fireworks suddenly appeared before my eyes and exploded one by one.

Baitao: "..."

This is a damn familiar feeling.

[System update completed, please check]

After being scanned by the fragments of the consciousness of the ghost story world last time, the system panel could no longer be opened.

Bai Tao thought the system had run away, but it turned out to be updating.

Name: Bai Tao (sixtieth anniversary, D-059)

Races: Standard humanoid—human (Standard half-humanoid—halfling spider)

Age: 18

Status: Courier for a courier company that delivers goods everywhere (slacking off)

Talents: Glutton, Memory Confusing

Combat Strength: 10~5000

Props: Pink baseball bat, Miss ▆'s carry-on suitcase...

Main quest: Kill the rules of the strange world consciousness

That’s great, she has gone from being a weakling to being a perfect weakling.

The system panel has changed a lot, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the main task, which is the task assigned to her by the world consciousness.

Bai Tao is more interested in the newly emerged talents than the unchanged main quest.

The gifted glutton is the mouth on Bai Tao's belly. Feed her food in exchange for strength, but the more she is fed, the stronger the mouth becomes.

She is also more likely to lose control, which is a talent given to her by the world of ghost stories. Bai Tao is very restrained and only feeds herself cardboard for three meals a day.

She treated the Glutton as a trump card and would never use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

A person with confused memories, whose characteristic of reasoning is integrated into his life, has a very good effect on people of the same kind. Judging from Bai Jingjing's performance, Bai Tao is almost like someone who has an aura of reduced intelligence.

Bai Tao hasn't tried it on monsters yet, maybe the cooling time is the same as that of reasoning, which is also 24 hours.

Knock knock knock——

The warehouse door rang, and it was Miss Yang again.

She looked at her new friend with a worried look on her face and said, "Bai Tao, the boss wants to see you."
