"You... Old Zhang? You look so big and burly, completely different from how you looked in my dream! I thought I picked up the wrong person!"
Looking at the burly man in front of him, who was probably 1.9 meters tall.
Tang Xiaomao found it really hard to connect the other person with the short, good brother in his dream.
However, both of them were still on the phone and hadn't hung up, so it seemed unlikely they would admit their mistake.
Tang Xiaomao couldn't help but complain.
Hearing this, Zhang Yi laughed and said:
"Hey Little Mao, you never said you were handsome. How come you're dating a girl who weighs 180 pounds? It's a bit hard to understand. Do you have some unusual tastes?"
"Go away, everyone says it's not true, but you still say that. Let's go in first, it's not appropriate for us to talk here on the main road!"
Tang Xiaomao glared at the other person with annoyance and led him into his courtyard.
Soon, the two began to discuss what happened yesterday, or rather, six years ago.
After a discussion, Tang Xiaomao and Zhang Yi agreed that the game world was probably a dream, a rather special kind of dream.
The hundreds of thousands of players in the dream were probably real, but they didn't actually exist; they just entered the dream in the form of 'entering the dream'.
The martial arts techniques and sword skills they learned were real, but they didn't practice them for six years like in the dream.
Especially in terms of internal strength, judging from their current level of internal energy, Tang Xiaomao and Zhang Yi felt that they were at most at the beginner level.
After all, they have all been through this stage, so they are quite familiar with it.
On the contrary, their swordsmanship surprised them more; it didn't seem like someone who had only practiced for one night.
"Brother Mao, I have a feeling that the real world is about to undergo some interesting changes."
Hundreds of thousands of players suddenly appeared in the real world, even though everyone had to start from scratch in terms of internal energy cultivation.
However, he still retains about 80-90% of the skills he learned in the dream, which may trigger a series of changes...
By the way, based on our deduction, it seems that all the players are from the Hongcheng area.
This is quite bizarre; I wonder what triggered this massive wave of dreams!
Zhang Yi analyzed the situation he knew at the moment.
Tang Xiaomao nodded and said:
"The real world is not like the dream world of martial arts. In the dream world, we can go without food or water and we can even survive."
But the real world is not like that, so I think we should try to keep a low profile in the near future.
So many people have encountered mysterious events, and this matter cannot be kept secret from the government. Moreover, among these hundreds of thousands of players, there are probably many people affiliated with the government.
So now we have two things to do.
Firstly, he wanted to cultivate his internal strength, hoping to regain his martial arts skills as soon as possible so that he could protect himself.
Secondly, we should keep a low profile and see how things develop.
In the very beginning, don't stand out; remember the saying, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."
"Yes, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Hopefully, those brainless people won't cause trouble now, or they'll drag us down with them!"
Zhang Yi nodded.
Both 'Little Mao Tang' and 'Immortal Zhang' are cautious and timid people in the game world.
Aside from the initial experience of losing a level, neither of them was ever killed and sent back to the starting village during their travels.
It's easy to imagine how cautious the two of them were, but that didn't stop them from freely roaming the martial world.
In fact, as top-tier players, the two of them lived much more comfortably than the others.
Now back in the real world, their first thought was to keep a low profile and see how the situation would develop before making any decisions.
After all, with hundreds of thousands of players returning to the real world, this matter can't be kept secret any longer; it remains to be seen how the government will handle it.
"Little Mao, do you think we'll have a chance to return to the game world again? Or do you think we'll encounter different dreams again?"
Zhang Yi suddenly thought of this problem.
Tang Xiaomao shook his head and said:
"I don't know either. Although we've spent six long years in the game world, in reality we've only been sleeping from last night until this morning."
Whether this will happen again, only God knows. Of course, we might find out something tonight!
“That’s right! Let’s wait and see tonight!” Zhang Yi nodded.
...
In fact, the Hongcheng 'player incident' has already attracted the attention of the higher-ups. In a low-key courtyard codenamed Bureau 909, Director Wang Tianqing frowned deeply.
Their bureau is actually responsible for compiling information on some mysterious events in the Great Xia Dynasty.
In the past, although various mysterious events were reported, they were all isolated incidents.
But this time was different. Just now, he had received six or seven calls in a row, all from Hongcheng.
Moreover, they all reported the same thing: someone had entered a dream and learned internal energy and various skills.
If it weren't for the fact that some of the calls came from the military and police, Wang Tianqing would definitely have thought this was a large-scale prank.
In fact, the fact that he just hung up on the military location indicates that one of their soldiers gained supernatural powers in a dream.
At this moment, the soldier who had awakened his supernatural powers was rushing towards the capital with several other 'players' at top speed to verify the authenticity of this matter.
If it's true, then...
“That’s a serious problem. It’s said that there are hundreds of thousands of ‘Dream Players’. Now these people have gained abilities that ordinary people don’t have. That’s an unstable factor.”
Wang Tianqing muttered to himself.
If it's just one or two people, it's fine; if it's thirty or fifty people, it's no problem; even hundreds or thousands of people are not an issue.
But when the number reaches hundreds of thousands, the problem becomes very serious.
Fortunately, we know from the available intelligence.
It seems that almost everyone in the Hongcheng area has acquired this ability without discrimination.
These hundreds of thousands of players include not only civilians, but also law enforcement and even military personnel.
Another piece of news that is slightly more reassuring is that the strength of these 'players' is incomparable to that in the dream world.
...
at the same time.
Online discussions about 'players' have gradually emerged.
After all, not all players have people they know in real life.
So their first thought was to post online and seek answers.
Unexpectedly, while the answer was not found for the time being, it attracted more people who had the same experience.
At first, these people might ask questions in a secretive manner, afraid that someone will discover something is amiss.
But once they saw that there were more 'players', everyone became less reserved and started to speak freely.
