Bringing the kids here was a big deal, so Pan Wencheng had taken a leave of absence. Besides, as the director of the Special Management Bureau, he had to show some hospitality.
It had been a while since I last saw Yan Jue. The first thing he asked after he came back was, "Did you have nightmares again the other day?"
Yan Jue: ...
That was all days ago. So you didn't ask beforehand, waiting until we were about to meet to tease her? He had no choice but to answer honestly, "Yeah, I did."
I had a mentally polluting nightmare about a naked man with a single eye and no head dancing all night, and I almost went from emotional apathy to sexual apathy.
Pan Wencheng didn't know what he saw from Yan Jue's expression, or whether he simply found it amusing. He smiled and patted his shoulder, and without saying anything else, accompanied him into the confidential room.
Yan Jue mentioned a few words to the two cubs last night, saying that he would tell them about the big things that happened in his world today. The two cubs also showed their anticipation very considerately and promised to come early today to listen to his stories.
When I entered the game, sure enough, the two cubs were already waiting.
After a brief greeting, Yan Jue wanted to say something else to show his concern for the cubs, but was ruthlessly interrupted by the excited Noel.
"Teacher, when will we tell the story?"
Noel sat on his favorite little yellow duck inflatable mattress in the middle of the swimming pool, and hugged Zhuo Feng next to him like a brother, treating him as if he were a life-size fox pillow. Even when he spoke, he tilted his head outside Zhuo Feng and looked up at him.
"I'm ready, and so is Zhuo Feng."
Before Yan Jue could even think about what "ready" meant, Nuoer quickly pulled out several bags of snacks right in front of him and asked cheerfully, "Teacher, can we eat something? I heard others say that listening to stories and eating snacks go perfectly together."
Yan Jue: "...Who told you that?"
Should he be glad that he hasn't given Noel any watermelon yet?
"The palace servants," Noel said innocently. "They said that when they were listening to the stories of the other fish, they always wanted to eat something, otherwise they always felt like something was missing. Teacher, can they eat it?"
"Eat." Yan Jue couldn't say no. "Eat if you want. Is that enough? Do you want me to give you some more?"
Noel shook his head and gave Yan Jue a big smile.
Zhuo Feng sighed silently. The teacher was spoiling Noel too much. Eating something while listening to a storybook or some romantic tale was fine, but the teacher was clearly trying to get down to business, and one of the only two listeners was snacking while listening. How ridiculous!
Lifting his head back to avoid Noel's hand feeding him snacks, Zhuo Feng sighed again. "Eat, eat. As long as you don't rub his ears like dough, what's the big deal about eating? It's best to focus on eating and drinking, and not touch his fur with hands covered in snack crumbs."
When he was in a daze, Yan Jue's calm voice sounded, and Zhuo Feng stopped thinking about it and focused his mind.
Yan Jue was a little nervous when he was telling the story.
He had earned enough points a few days ago, but Pan Wencheng's team had not made much progress in the various regulations for the revival of spiritual energy, so it was temporarily delayed for a few days.
In fact, they could have told the kids about the revival of spiritual energy long ago, and then traded some things they could use from Zhuo Feng, or consulted Zhuo Feng, a professional, whenever they encountered any problems. However, everyone, including Yan Jue, suppressed this idea in their hearts.
This feeling is probably similar to that of a novice who wants to win the favor of a big boss and dresses himself up in advance so that the big boss can see his potential and future and think that he is worth training, rather than seeing him as a bald and ignorant newbie who needs someone to chase him and feed him.
No matter who you are, the former is easier to lead and easier to win people's favor.
They did their best. At the very least, when Zhuo Feng arrived in reality, he would be amazed at their coping methods and management, and thus develop positive feelings towards them, rather than facing a mess that he had no ability to handle and had to rely on outsiders for everything.
Therefore, only after they had made some efforts and achieved some results did they dare to tell the two cubs about the revival of spiritual energy, so as to bring them to reality.
Ignoring the various measures they had taken to revive spiritual energy, Yan Jue told them how they had discovered it and what had happened to Zhang Zizheng, then waited silently for the two cubs' reactions.
Noel was fine. When he first heard it, he was so shocked that he even forgot to eat his snacks. But he came to his senses in the middle and continued eating and drinking without any psychological burden.
The plane he was in was similar to a Western fantasy worldview, and he himself was a mermaid from a race that belonged to his own continent. Therefore, the people he saw the most on a daily basis were his own people. Apart from two in the kindergarten, he had not seen any outsiders in his continent. Naturally, he had no idea about magical things.
There was even less of a spiritual energy cultivation. Even if he had read a cultivation novel and had a demon cultivation companion, he could only imagine what the energy of the other world looked like, marvel at it, and some of it was simply unimaginable.
Noel never caused trouble for himself. He would simply put unimaginable things aside without questioning them, rather than pestering Zhuo Feng with inquiries. In fact, after resolving the issue of being unable to use his powers, he no longer had much interest in cultivation.
So when Noel heard Yan Jue say that the spiritual energy in their world was revived, he was only shocked that his teacher could also practice and gain power, and was no longer a weak ordinary person. Then he didn't have any other thoughts.
Zhuo Feng, on the other hand, had a dazed look on his face the entire time.
What exactly is spiritual energy and how many forms of power a cultivator has? As a genuine demon cultivator in the world of cultivation, he knows it very well.
But if he remembered correctly, the teacher had said his world was a technological dimension, filled with things created with "technology," a world completely different from his and Noel's. So why, then, had the spiritual energy suddenly become unscientific?
Looking around, he saw buildings in the style of his teacher's dimension. Zhuo Feng couldn't imagine that this was a very different style from the Tianchen Continent. Looking at this cold world, he wondered how one could practice Taoism and generate spiritual energy.
"Teacher..." Zhuo Feng's voice trembled as his worldview crumbled. "Don't you think this is very strange?"
Noel heard this and quickly replied, "Brother, have you forgotten the novel I gave you? It was given to me by the teacher. There are related novels in the teacher's world. It's just the revival of spiritual energy. Why are they so surprised?"
Thinking of the novel that he had neglected and placed in the corner, Zhuo Feng suddenly wanted to go back home, take it out and read it carefully.
With mixed emotions, Zhuo Feng reluctantly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his head and could only sigh, "Teacher, what kind of world is this over there?"
This is exactly what Yan Jue was waiting for.
He lowered his voice and said slowly, "Since you don't know, Zhuo Feng and Noel, would you like to come and see for yourself what my world looks like?"
Zhuo Feng: “!!!”
Noel: “Okay, okay.”
Noel threw the snacks into the bag and without even thinking, stretched out his hands in the air, making a "hug" gesture. "I want to go and see. Teacher, can you take us to your world? Then I can see what the teacher looks like?"
Zhuo Feng: "...Noel, why did you accept it so naturally?"
This naive little fish, has his entire brain been used to store snacks? They were allowed into another dimension, something so shocking and unprecedented, and yet Noel wasn't even a bit surprised. He simply trusted his teacher, quickly accepted it, and even started looking forward to it?
Zhuo Feng reflected for the first time, wondering if it was because he was too cautious that he was out of tune with the kindergarten's painting style.
Taking in the two cubs' contrasting reactions, Yan Jue narrowed his eyes in a smile. He nodded to Noel's outstretched hands, then to Zhuo Feng's head, and explained in a gentle voice, "Yes, I can allow you to enter my world in the form you had in the kindergarten. You can also form simulated entities and eat our food."
He has consulted 91 in detail.
Zhuo Feng said calmly, "What's the price for taking us over?"
Hearing this, Noel looked at Yan Jue nervously.
Yan Jue smiled and said, "It requires some special energy, which you can call points. It took me a long time to accumulate enough of this. It also happened to coincide with the revival of spiritual energy here, so I have a good reason for you two to appear in public, so I can't wait to invite you."
"And I can finally meet you officially and get to know you. I feel a little embarrassed that I've been with you for so long and only let you hear my voice."
Fortunately, he is not bad looking, otherwise he might face the terrible option of "disappointment after meeting in person". Well, wait, according to the two cubs' different aesthetic tastes from ordinary people, he might be the ugly one?
Yan Jue suddenly fell into panic.
Just in case, he quickly gave a warning: "Well, the teacher is just an ordinary human being. He currently doesn't have any special abilities, so his personal image is also within the scope of an ordinary person. You'd better be mentally prepared and don't have too high expectations."
Noel patted his chest and promised seriously: "Don't worry, Noel will never dislike the teacher!"
Zhuo Feng also said that he didn't care about people's appearance.
Both cubs are extremely sensible, but Yan Jue cannot be happy at all because of the premise that "he looks very ugly in the eyes of the cubs".
After explaining to the two cubs where he was currently, that there was another person next to him, and their identities, Yan Jue asked them to get ready and summoned 91.
"Do you agree to go to Scorching Wind and Noel to enter this plane?"
"yes."
"The cost of crossing is 40,000 points. The time the cub stays in this plane can be adjusted at will, at a cost of 100 points per hour. Consumption of items from this plane is calculated based on volume, and points are automatically deducted. Does anyone have any questions?"
"No."
"The cub will appear within ten centimeters of the game carrier in ten seconds. Please adjust your position."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Jue quickly placed his phone on the soft pillow, then held his breath and looked down eagerly.
Under his gaze, a large number of light golden spots suddenly appeared on the originally empty mobile phone. They quickly condensed and dispersed into two groups. The color became darker and darker and finally suddenly dissipated, revealing the full appearance of the creatures they wrapped.
So small.
Sitting on the horizontally placed mobile phone were a mermaid with blonde hair and a golden tail and a pure white fox with three tails. The two cubs were only the size of a palm, and they only barely covered the screen when sitting on the phone.
Yan Jue widened his eyes. Due to the limitations of the screen, Zhuo Feng and Noel's sizes seemed normal to him. But when they became three-dimensional and appeared in his sight, he found that they were too small.
"teacher?"
Noel's voice sounded doubtful, with a hint of fear in it. Zhuo Feng also stared closely at the "huge" human in front of him, constantly examining him.
Although he was small in size, he did not have any problem hearing clearly. Noel's voice was very clear, as if it was ringing directly next to his ear.
Yan Jue breathed a sigh of relief, put on a gentle smile, and introduced himself to the two somewhat nervous cubs: "It's me. Let me introduce myself again, I'm Yan Jue, and I'm also a teacher at the kindergarten. Noer Zhuofeng, nice to meet you."
As he spoke, Yan Jue stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of the two cubs.
He originally wanted to shake hands, but he was so excited that his brain was spinning that he didn't realize that in the world of these two cubs, there was no such thing as a "handshake" to express politeness.
Noel looked at the palm of his hand in front of him, turned his head and looked at Zhuo Feng in confusion, trying to use his eyes to make his brother understand what he meant.
Zhuofeng moved his tail, patted Noel's back, and set an example himself, taking firm steps and stepping onto the palm of flesh in front of him.
Noel also wanted to follow, but as soon as he moved, he lost his balance and fell on Yan Jue's fingertips. He looked at his fish tail in annoyance, holding his fingertips with one hand and reaching out the other hand anxiously towards Zhuo Feng.
Pausing on the tip of his finger, Zhuo Feng turned and used his spiritual energy to suspend Noel's body, floating beside him. He then considerately coated his tail with a thin layer of spiritual energy to prevent it from drying out. After completing all this, he brought Noel to the palm of his hand and waited for Yan Jue's next move.
What's Yan Jue's next move?
When Zhuo Feng stepped on his hand, he was so frightened that he didn't dare move, fearing he'd cause the child to fall. After a moment's pause, Yan Jue quickly raised his hand to his chest, facing the silent Pan Wencheng, and introduced him, "This is my superior, the Director of the Special Management Bureau."
Although they didn't quite understand what "Director" meant, they understood that this person was the teacher's elder, so Zhuo Feng and Noel nodded and greeted Pan Wencheng obediently, and Noel even waved to him lively.
Pan Wencheng silently covered his heart and accepted the attack from "Meng".
