Chapter 103
"Wow, it's the Light Body Technique!"
Although I didn’t get the high points I expected, I was still very surprised to draw the Light Body Technique again.
"This way, I can use it continuously for 15 hours a day!" Tang Yu'an said happily, "Except for the time spent eating and sleeping, it can all be covered."
Of course, this refers to the case where it is for one person to use.
If he wants to use it too, one person can use it for a maximum of 10 hours - seems that's enough?
However, he has become accustomed to being carried on the back of Brother Xiaoqi, especially when they are traveling. Brother Xiaoqi's physique is getting stronger day by day, and his dynamic vision and reaction speed are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
And when being carried, they can also hold up an umbrella to shield them, which can ensure their safety to a greater extent.
I don’t know if the umbrella has evolved again, but these days, even if Xiaoqi runs very fast, he doesn’t feel tired holding the umbrella.
It seemed as if the wind resistance had become much smaller. It was no longer like before, when Xiaoqi felt that his umbrella would be blown away at any time as long as he ran faster.
Zhou Qi was also a little surprised when he heard Tang Yu'an's words.
He said, “In this way, maybe we can go to Jufeng Town and come back the next day.”
With the help of the light body technique, he can now shorten the 60-minute journey to 10 minutes. According to this ratio, the original 12-hour journey will only take 2 hours at most.
But when they went to Jufeng Mountain, they didn't actually travel the whole day.
By then they will be in a hurry and with the umbrella they have, they can reach Jufeng Town within half a day.
"That way, we won't have to worry about not completing our daily tasks."
Tang Yu'an glanced at the sleeping Jin Lili and whispered, "Let's go to Jufeng Town again when Uncle Tiejin comes back."
By then, I should be able to accumulate enough points to build a second branch——
If you only build the teleportation array without opening the protective barrier, you will need 7,000 points.
Add to that the 2,000 points for building a branch, which makes 9,000 points. He only needs to earn another 1,800 points, which will be enough.
It is unlikely that the protective barrier of the Jufeng Town branch will be opened, because once it is opened, the store will disappear at night, which will easily attract attention.
So for now, I won’t consider the protective barrier.
"Let's build the branch first. We can use the teleportation function to travel back and forth to Jufeng Town, which will make it much more convenient to do business in the future."
"Yeah." Zhou Qi nodded, then said, "Would you like to see the message in the bottle?"
"good!"
Tang Yu'an stood up and walked towards the small window on the wall. The umbrella hovered quietly above his head, blocking the sound of his footsteps.
There are many more drifting bottles in the dream sea today, and the light from two of them is obviously brighter than that from the other bottles.
Tang Yu'an knew that one of the drifting bottles was from Xiao Hailan, and the other one was...
He remembered the dream wisher who was suspected to be a monster from an abandoned chemical plant.
Tang Yu'an carefully distinguished the two drifting bottles. They were floating in the sea of dreams. He could only see that the light of one was brighter than the surrounding ones. As for which one was brighter, it was difficult to compare.
He hesitated for a while, and finally reached out and picked up one of them.
When he returned to Zhou Qi, he told him about his discovery, "I don't know which one it is."
Tang Yu'an opened the bottle cap as he spoke.
A ball of light that only he and Zhou Qi could see slowly floated into the air, and at the same time, a familiar shrill voice sounded in the attic.
"Speak...ah, ...
Compared to the simple crying last time, this time, in addition to sobbing, the sound in the attic was also accompanied by the monster's dry and hoarse voice.
The sound was very harsh and it was very uncomfortable to listen to in the quiet attic.
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but cover his ears.
It seems that he did not pick up the wrong thing. This message in a bottle did belong to the monster in the abandoned chemical plant.
But what does it mean?
Anyway, they were separated by a dream, so he and Brother Xiaoqi were safe no matter what, so Tang Yu'an was not afraid.
"Hello." He greeted.
The crying obviously paused, but the dream did not become unstable immediately like last time. The ball of light settled down after shaking for a while.
"Hello... hello..."
It was unclear whether the hoarse and dry voice was simply imitating Tang Yu'an or really greeting him.
Tang Yuan opened his mouth slightly, and heard the other party continue: "Hello... hello..."
After repeating it several times, the monster's pronunciation became noticeably smoother, but it was still hoarse, as if the sound was rubbed out in the throat, which was uncomfortable to listen to.
"Are you human?" Tang Yu'an couldn't help but ask.
“Human…Human…Humanity…”
It seemed to be just imitating and not really communicating with Tang Yu'an.
Tang Yu'an scratched his head, not knowing what to do. In the end, he had to assume that the owner of the voice was really a human.
"What do you want?"
"Talk...want to...talk..."
Tang Yu'an blinked, with a look of joy in his eyes. It sounded like he was really communicating with him?
Want to talk? Do you want to learn how to talk, or do you want someone to talk to you?
At this time, Zhou Qi said: "What can you provide?"
Perhaps because of insufficient language reserves, after Zhou Qi asked this question, the strange voice started to howl again.
Just when Tang Yu'an wanted to guide it again, a system prompt popped up.
[You listened to the wish of the dream wisher and made a deal with him]
You completed a profitable trade with a Dream Wisher, earning +880 points, +6 experience points, and +1 dream fragment.
[You have received 1 catties 50 grams of mutant blueberries, please select the delivery address]
[1. Ping An Grocery Store Warehouse]
【……】
Tang Yuan:!!!
What? That's the deal?
but……
Although he didn't know the specific effects of the mutant blueberries, Tang Yu'an accepted them without hesitation.
Fruit-related items are quite expensive. A pound of mutant blueberries is worth 800 points. With this transaction, he got half of the points he needed to build a branch!
Tang Yuan was very happy.
The ball of light in the attic has not disappeared yet.
"Speak...speak..."
Listening to him repeating himself, Tang Yu'an finally understood that the owner of the voice was really communicating with him and just wanted to talk to him.
Is it because I’m too lonely?
If he was really a human, living alone in a poisonous fog, being treated as a monster by all his kind, it would be good enough not to be attacked, let alone communicate with him.
Thinking of this, Tang Yu'an felt that the owner of this voice was so pitiful.
"What's your name? Or do you have a name?"
"Name...name..." He repeated it as before.
Tang Yu'an explained the meaning of his name to him, "I..."
He paused, almost saying his real name, and quickly changed his words: "I am the mysterious businessman."
Then he looked at Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi paused, not wanting to speak, but facing Tang Yu'an's piercing eyes, he finally sighed in his heart, and then said stiffly: "I, Handsome Zhou."
After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Fortunately, the owner of the strange sound didn't think there was anything wrong with the name.
"Merchant...Merchant..."
“Porridge…Porridge…”
He imitated Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi's self-introductions. After he repeated them several times, Tang Yu'an said, "Yes, these are our names. What's yours?"
"Name...name..."
Just when Tang Yu'an thought that he had no name and was thinking of giving him one, he heard the strange sound continue.
"I... green eyes..."
Tang Yu'an was stunned. "Green Eyes? Is that your name?"
"Green eyes... I... green eyes..."
The owner of the strange voice did not answer him, but just repeated the sentence, and he pronounced the three words "green eyes" very well, not as awkward as other words.
So he already knew this word, and he didn't know who had said it to him.
But that doesn't matter.
"Green Eyes, hello, nice to meet you." Tang Yu'an said with a smile.
"You're so... happy... ahhh, happy!"
However, as the words fell, the ball of light that was originally floating quietly suddenly became unstable.
[There are 3 seconds left before the wisher wakes up]
As the three-second countdown ended, the ball of light in the air disappeared, and the harsh strange sound also disappeared.
Tang Yu'an quickly opened the map.
I saw a big golden light spot on the map, which was the new dream wish maker.
The area where this light spot appeared was indeed in the direction of the abandoned chemical plant. The green eyes should indeed be the monster in the poisonous fog that Old Li mentioned.
Tang Yu'an labeled the new light spot with the name of Green Eyes. Perhaps he woke up from his dream, so he did not continue to sleep, but moved slowly.
As he moved, the fog on the map was being cleared. With the help of Green Eyes, they would be able to roughly understand the situation in the area even if they did not enter the abandoned chemical plant.
"If Green Eyes is really human, I wonder how he lives there?"
"Perhaps he has the ability to resist poison." Zhou Qi said, "Let's see if the mutant blueberries have any special effects?"
"good!"
Tang Yu'an opened his portable warehouse, took out a few mutant blueberries, and then used his identification skills on the blueberries.
【Mutated Blueberry】
【……】
[Description: The fruit of the mutant blueberry tree can be eaten raw and can enhance immunity. It is particularly effective against heavy metal toxins and can detoxify heavy metals.]
"Wow, it can detoxify!"
Tang Yu'an said in surprise, "If mutant blueberries are the food of green-eyed creatures, then it's no wonder they can live in abandoned chemical plants."
Zhou Qi looked at the identification album and nodded, saying, "This mutant blueberry is good."
Now they have two kinds of fruits that can detoxify. One is the mutated lantern fruit that can detoxify fire poison, and the other is the mutated blueberry that can detoxify heavy metal poison.
Speaking of mutant lantern fruit, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but sigh: "Kang Kang has been focusing on the blue beard leaves recently, and the output of mutant lantern fruit has decreased."
He now only has three mutant lantern fruits on hand, and he may use one less in the short term.
"If he can really grow blue beard trees, their value will be immeasurable." Zhou Qi said.
Tang Yu'an nodded. He looked at the pound of blueberries in his portable warehouse, thinking about using them to play a "trading game" with Kang Kang and Lily tomorrow, and making thousands of points from them.
That would be enough points to build a branch in Jufeng Town, so awesome!
After throwing the green-eyed bottle back into the Dream Sea to increase the chance of catching fish, Tang Yu'an, who was about to go to bed, remembered something and quickly opened the collection interface of the plane store.
New Soul Gathering Grass is available! Still 50 points each!
Tang Yu'an grabbed it without hesitation and quickly got the Spirit Gathering Grass.
Looking at the fresh and green Spirit Gathering Grass, Zhou Qi couldn't help but sigh at Tang Yu'an's luck again. Being able to grab it twice at such a price was really extraordinary.
"With the Spirit Gathering Grass here, the plants in the shop are growing better," he said.
Mother Tang even planted onions, ginger, and garlic, and she also found a chili pepper. I don’t know why Mother Tang, who always has a light diet, also planted chili peppers.
Tang Yu'an nodded, looked at the window that was sold out again, and said, "I'll come back tomorrow to grab some more."
To make the physical enhancement eggs, you need at least 5 Spirit Gathering Grasses, so you still have to continue buying them.
Tang Yu'an thought about it and discussed with Zhou Qi: "Brother Xiaoqi, how about we give a Spirit Gathering Grass to Kang Kang?"
The spirit gathering grass can gather wood-type spiritual energy, and perhaps it can help Kang Kang grow blue beard trees. Perhaps Kang Kang can also cultivate new spirit gathering grass.
Even if none of them work, letting the mutant lantern fruit and cool fruit grow better will allow them to produce more fruits sooner.
"Well, then bring it to him tomorrow."
Zhou Qi had no objection to this proposal. Kang Kang's special ability was very powerful. If he was trained well, he would be of great help to them in the future.
After making arrangements for tomorrow with Zhou Qi, Tang Yu'an turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed, but suddenly saw a flicker of light coming from the small window on the wall.
At the same time, a system prompt popped up.
The "Dream Message in a Bottle" you sent has returned successfully. Please open the Dream Sea and retrieve it.
The dream message in a bottle he delivered?
Wow, was that the first bottle he threw into the ocean of dreams after materializing the dream message in a bottle? He had completely forgotten about that bottle, and yet it came back one day!
Tang Yu'an hurried forward and through the window saw a bottle emitting gray-blue light floating outside his window.
Compared to the other bottles, it really stands out.
Tang Yu'an quickly opened the window and reached into the sea of dreams. A force guided him and allowed him to grab the gray-blue drifting bottle.
Then, the same force pushed him back - after his hand left the dream sea, when he wanted to reach in again, he was blocked by a transparent barrier.
It seems that apart from this bottle, he has no chance of taking any other bottles.
Tang Yu'an didn't care and showed the message in the bottle to Zhou Qi.
"It was a white bottle before, but now it has turned gray-blue!" said Tang Yu'an.
The bottles he could catch now were all white. This was the first time he caught a bottle of another color.
"Is it because it drifted far away and was dyed by the dream sea?" Tang Yu'an guessed.
The color of the dream sea is dark blue, and it feels quite similar.
Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "Bobo's exclusive color is gray-blue."
The magical furniture that Bobo produces and takes orders for are basically all on the technological side, so... Zhou Qi took the bottle and checked its bottom.
I saw that the original MR168845 had become MR26558.
Zhou Qi had a meal.
This was not what he expected. He thought the message in the bottle turned gray-blue only after it went to the technology side.
Tang Yu'an looked at the number and his eyes lit up. He said in disbelief, "So this message in a bottle...went to another dimension?"
No wonder it took you so long to come back!
So they can trade directly with people from other planes through the message in a bottle? That way they don't have to be ripped off by the shady dealers in the plane shops!
Tang Yu'an was so excited that he quickly unscrewed the cork.
A ball of gray-blue light floated out of the bottle and slowly floated in the air. A strange girl's voice appeared in the attic.
“☆★$ & ¤§ | °゜¨±· x/*&^……”
Tang Yu'an: ...
What kind of alien language is this? I don't understand it at all.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
Fortunately, the system prompt appeared quickly.
[Do you want to spend 1000 points to unlock the instant translation voice pack, which includes all currently known languages?]
【whether】
Another 1000 points! Tang Yu'an felt numb. What else could he do? If he didn't unlock this voice pack, he wouldn't understand it at all.
He could only comfort himself that judging from the plane numbers, this voice pack contained the languages of at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of planes, so the 1,000 points were well spent.
[Points deducted successfully! Voice pack loading... Loading completed!]
As the system prompt appeared, Tang Yu'an finally understood what the strange girl was saying.
Seeing that Zhou Qi was still listening attentively and trying to guess what the girl was saying, she knew that he had not loaded the voice pack yet, so she quickly found the authorization in the system and shared the voice pack with him.
Then, Zhou Qi heard the strange girl say, "I don't understand what you are saying, but I copied the words on the note, and after Yana analyzed it, I understand what you mean."
This conversation doesn't sound like a real-time communication, but more like a recording agreed upon in advance.
"Our world is experiencing a drought, and many people have been forced into eternal sleep in hibernation capsules. It may be my turn soon, but I don't want to go into hibernation."
"I need water, can you give me some?"
After these words were spoken, the voice in the light ball began to repeat itself. Obviously, just as Tang Yu'an and the others had guessed, these words were recorded in advance.
It was as if when Tang Yu'an threw the message in the bottle, the other party also heard what he said to the bottle.
This is probably the inconvenience of long-distance transmission.
So, if they can’t trade in real time, how are they supposed to trade?
No system prompts appeared, neither reminding him that the dream was about to end and the countdown had begun, nor did it prompt him to listen to the wish of the dream wisher and complete the transaction.
"Brother Xiaoqi, what should we do now?" Tang Yu'an scratched his head.
Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because of the interdimensionality, so the system can't transfer items instantly."
Even voice is not possible, let alone items.
Tang Yu'an nodded, thought for a moment, then took out the automatic water storage thermos and poured the pure water in it into the drift bottle until it was full.
"Then let Meng Hai bring the water to her."
Because the other party couldn't understand his language, he wrote another note, wrapped it in plastic wrap, stuffed it into the bottle, and repeated it to the bottle.
"I am a mysterious merchant. Currently, I can only communicate and trade with you through this bottle."
"Please tell me your name."
"I can provide you with water, but you must pay for it."
After saying that, Tang Yu'an put the cork back in the bottle.
That's it!
"I feel like the technological level of that dimension should be higher than ours. They have technology like hibernation pods, and they can even understand our language through text analysis."
Maybe if he translates sentence by sentence like this many times, the other party might be able to understand what they are saying directly?
Of course, the prerequisite is that the message in the bottle can arrive in time and the other party does not have to be forced into the hibernation capsule.
The number in that world starts with MR. If this girl really enters the hibernation chamber, she may never have the chance to wake up.
Fortunately, after the upgrade, he can now deliver two dream bottles every day, so he can deliver one more today.
"Then I was thrown into the sea of dreams?" Tang Yu'an looked at Zhou Qi and said.
"Okay." Zhou Qi nodded.
So, Tang Yu'an opened the window of the dream sea again and put the gray-blue bottle filled with water into the dream sea again.
As the message in the bottle floated in the sea, a new system prompt appeared:
[This dream bottle has completed one journey. You can choose the direction for its second journey.]
1. MR26558 plane (10 points required)
2. Start a new journey
Tang Yu'an: "..."
Everything really costs money!
However, this feature is good if it can start a new journey. After completing the transaction with this water-scarce plane, you can go to other places.
Of course, he still spent 10 points to send this message in a bottle to the MR26558 plane.
I just hope it's in time...
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but worry when he thought about the speed of cross-dimensional communication through the dream bottle.
This feeling of uncertainty is very similar to the real drift bottle game.
[You completed a loss-making transaction with a dream wisher, experience points +6]
Although I didn’t earn any points, it’s still nice to earn experience points!
Watching the gray-blue message in a bottle disappear into the depths of the sea of dreams, Tang Yu'an finally withdrew his gaze and lay down in bed.
That night he had a very magical dream.
He dreamed that his body became very small, so small that it could fit into a bottle, and he and the bottle drifted in the sea of dreams.
Finally, he and the bottle were picked up by a pair of familiar hands. When he looked up, he saw the familiar smiles of his parents...
When he woke up in the morning, Tang Yu'an realized that it was just a dream.
He ran to the small window to check, feeling a little disappointed, but did not see the new message in the bottle return.
It doesn't matter. If he continues to upgrade, he will definitely get more dream bottles. One day he will be able to go to their dimension and find his parents!
After making the bed, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi went downstairs.
Looking at Wangcai and silver coins coming to greet him, he thought of something and quickly opened the pet compartment to check.
Wow!
Yuanbao and Black Pearl have digested the mother lizard's energy and ended their dormant state!
