May 19th, around 7pm.
There are only 28 hours left before the second list is released, and Yaxiu is thinking about a serious problem - he has been stood down.
In the past few days, Ash finally formed an extreme group as the commander, and they fought their way through to the third stage of Jizhan Li Ba Jue Gong. It was about to be completed tonight, but the injury-bearing magician in the team suddenly had something to do and said that he had work in real life and could not come tonight.
Now Ash had two choices: give the whole team a day off today, or recruit a wild player to continue playing the dungeon. Because the strategies for the ultimate dungeon were similar, as long as the wild player had experience reaching the third stage, he would be able to quickly integrate into the team and try to pass the dungeon tonight.
But there is no way to check in the game whether the players are telling the truth. If the wild player cheats on the progress, Ash's team will have to accompany the wild players to fight the "Dragon Dance" all night (the most team-destroying AOE in the first stage of Extreme Carp Slashing that tests team cooperation).
Ash himself had done something like this. He dared to enter [1% Team Clear Tonight] as soon as he saw the second stage. Otherwise, how could he have the experience of being a commander in a raid in just a few days?
Moreover, compared to not having passed the level, passing the level is actually more troublesome - if they pass the level tonight, should they accompany the players who asked for leave to play again tomorrow night? What if someone refuses? And the players who asked for leave have accompanied them to play for several nights, is it not a good idea to just ignore them?
In these few days, Ash not only gained experience in command and decision-making, but also gained a lot of management experience - when others make mistakes, should you chat privately or scold them directly? When someone is always late, should you replace them directly or give them a warning? When the team members quarrel, how should the captain appease and check and balance?
Originally, Ash hoped to draw a few more powerful operators, but after experiencing the difficulty of team management, he felt that having the Witch on the left and the Fiora on the right was pretty good now, and he could just increase the number of operators slowly.
Compared with forcing yourself to complete the game, taking a vacation does not involve any risk. It will not rush you to make progress, it will not be crazy, it will not bother you. Taking a vacation is the best thing.
But if he had a day off tonight, what should he do?
Ash pondered for a moment and looked at the Sennheiser emblem on the back of his hand.
If they were to move after the second list was released, he would only have two more chances to experience the Sennheiser dream.
We have been here for so many days, and everyone has traveled to the dreamland several times, except for Ash who plays the game every day, and all the dream expeditions are left to the stand-in.
He had never experienced the feeling of a dream.
It feels like everyone goes to a tourist destination together, but you stay in the hotel and don’t go out. After the trip, other people’s experience is about how beautiful the place is and how delicious the food is, while your experience is that the hotel bed is so soft.
If I don’t go to the dreamland, it would feel like my trip to Fanmulla has been in vain.
Thinking of this, Ash opened "Aurora's Sorcerer's Manual", selected "Virtual Realm Exploration" - "Dream Expedition", and canceled today's stand expedition.
He is going to play in the dreamland himself tonight!
"Warning: The operator's soul has not yet recovered. You will not be able to obtain dream fragments if you go on an expedition yourself!"
Even if you don’t want the dream fragments, go and see it!
"Warning: Canceling this expedition will result in a sharp drop in revenue tomorrow!"
I might have to leave tomorrow!
"Warning: Do you really want to cancel the expedition?"
Just when Ash was trying to confirm, a demon nobleman Ash suddenly appeared in his mind: [The system has warned you, I advise you not to be ungrateful, just listen! ]
Then a Holy Seraph Ash appeared: [He just wanted to go to the dreamland to play, what's wrong with him? ]
Devil Nobleman: [What's the point of having fun? The price is the loss of dream fragments, and maybe something bad will happen. Don't you think this is a meaningless impulse? What if his soul is damaged in there, resulting in a longer soul recovery time and he can't catch up with the Spider Tower round? Will you be responsible then? ]
Holy Seraph: [You are right, Ash, let's not go this time. ]
Angel, you surrendered too quickly! ? Is my imagination so strong that I can imagine two characters to discuss?
Ash scratched his head, but since this was his own conclusion, he subconsciously followed it. Although the team he had assembled was short of players and couldn't play today, Ash could still play in a wild team, but the quality of his teammates was uneven, and there might be some progress fraud.
But Ash himself had cheated on the progress before, so now he might as well just do charity and pay off his debts.
…
…
In Sennheiser's dream, the witch came to the starting place and let out a long sigh: "It was a close call. Fortunately, we reacted quickly, otherwise Ash would have broken in."
Another witch in pajamas said hesitantly, "But it's not a good idea for us to pretend to be the inner voice and hint at something... The audience doesn't know, but Sword Princess will definitely be angry. She hates it most when we interfere with Ash."
"Who cares about that crazy woman? But I want to see what happens after Ash enters the dream, yo hehe~"
"Nothing will happen. According to Ash's personality, he might just come in and join that legendary magician in the arena bubble fighting all night long."
"Honestly, I'm most shocked that Ash actually believed in the voice in his head... Sister Bai, you should have seen the young Viewer. Was he so innocent back then?"
"Young viewer?" The White Witch thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember it at all, but I can guarantee that the purest and cleanest organ in his body is his large intestine. The rest is full of heavy metal pollutants, buried in polluted soil, burned in polluted air...Hei, do you remember?"
The black witch was spinning in circles: "La la la, la la la, la la la la ~ Viewer ~ Viewer ~ Viewer ~ Ugh—" She vomited directly, vomiting out a lot of ink, and the other sisters immediately moved away.
The witch clapped her hands and said, "Okay, the break before work is over. Go meet your lovers."
"Everyone!" The White Witch suddenly said loudly: "Today is our last day in the dream!"
All the sisters' eyes lit up and they immediately retreated and disappeared into the white mist, even the Black Witch who was vomiting was no exception.
The witch twitched the corner of her mouth and reached out to hook back the Pajama Witch who was running the slowest.
The Pyjama Witch was confused: "I didn't do anything bad, why are you arresting me? Arrest Bai Jie, she is the culprit!"
"After you knew tonight was the last night, you were going to do something bad."
"It's the same for everyone. Don't you want to? You don't have to bear any consequences for being naughty now!"
The witch grabbed the Pyjama Witch's head and smashed it directly to the ground, pausing every time she smashed it, making the ground thump loudly. "You! Of course! Don't! Have to! Bear! The! Consequences! When the time comes, I'll be the one who gets beaten up by the spectator sword lady! I'll also be the one who gets scolded! They're so annoying!"
The Pyjama Witch was hit on the head and bleeding. The blood ran down her forehead and across her nose, forming two bloody rivers, which made her cute and innocent face suddenly become terrifying. However, she did not resist at all, and completely let her sister manipulate her, even grinning and teasing: "What the hell does it have to do with me? It's not me who is being scolded, let me go!"
The witch sighed: "Forget it, the viewer should also take this margin of error into account... Let's switch tonight. You go to Diya's side, and I'll go to the Red Death Apostle's side."
"Why?"
"Because I want to see the Red Death one last time."
The witch raised her lips and revealed a cruel smile: "If I remember correctly..."
"Tonight is the day she dies."
