Just as Carl was absorbed in outlining the details of Hope's outline in his mind, something wet was thrown in front of him.

"Inside the dimensional bag is the stone slab you used to grill meat. Restart it. We need a heat source to dry the clothes."

Hope's voice sounded from not far away, his tone calm.

She didn't know how many times she had experienced this kind of situation. If she were in the outside world, she might be able to detect weather changes in advance based on her experience and hide in a building.

"good."

Reaching out his hand, Carl groped on the floor, and soon he touched the dimensional bag that was wet by the rain.

Carl opened the bag, fumbled around in it, and then took out the barbecue stone.

Some spirituality was injected into it, and the fire rune absorbed the surrounding magic power, gradually making the stone slab warm.

"Will the clothes get burnt if I put them directly on top?"

As Hope asked this question, the sound of feet stepping directly on the wooden floor came from far away.

She came over and brought the clothes that were already soaked.

"I'm not sure, but let's keep some distance. This is all we have now."

Thinking that he and Hope were now being honest with each other, Carl felt his blood gradually warming up.

"Okay then, move to the right, we can squeeze together and keep warm."

Before Carl could react, something incredibly elastic was already attached to his waist.

Immediately afterwards, a force acted on Carl's body through the object, causing him to move a distance to the right.

Then, a long silence fell in the dark room.

The runes infused with spirituality exude a warmth that makes people feel safe.

The clothes hung around the stone slabs were steaming, making the nostrils itchy.

Carl and Hope sat side by side in the corner of the room, each hugging their knees, waiting for the clothes to dry.

Amid the heavy rain, Carl's consciousness gradually slowed down.

He is too tired.

Both the warrior training that Hope had helped with and the emergency installation of the house just now consumed a lot of his energy.

It was fine when his adrenaline was rushing just now, but once he calmed down, Carl immediately reached his limit.

His head kept swaying back and forth. Finally, Carl could no longer hold on and fell asleep.

…

In the dream world, Carl's consciousness became clear again.

But what was different from before was that the light in the dream world disappeared.

Carl couldn't see anything except the magic runes in the sky and the magic weapon models around him.

Suddenly, something familiar pressed against his waist and "arched" him to the right just as Carl remembered.

Subconsciously, Carl reached out and grabbed the thigh that should theoretically be touching his body.

The soft and elastic skin made Carl feel like he was pinching a real thigh.

But he knew very well that this was a dream world and such experiences should not exist.

The dream world can indeed create all kinds of illusions, but they are just illusions and do not conform to the touch and other physical parameters of the corresponding materials.

Carl had verified this many times in his previous dreams.

“…”

Feeling the touch in his palm, Carl was silent, not knowing what to do for a moment.

After a long while, he tentatively came up with the idea of ​​"let there be light".

"It seems that not only the feel but also the appearance has been simulated. Has my cheat evolved?"

Closing his eyes, Carl tried hard to clear his chaotic thoughts.

But the simulated Hope suddenly pounced on him and used the fighting skills he had learned during training on him.

Karl was directly entangled by the other party, with their skin pressed tightly against each other.

"Calm down, this is just an illusion I created. As long as you calm down, I can...hiss~"

The same pain as in previous training came over him, and Carl felt as if his arm was about to be dislocated.

But because of his posture, while Carl felt the pain, he could also feel the feeling of being squeezed in the middle by Hope's front armor.

"Damn it! How on earth am I going to put clothes on both of us? This new feature is great for training, but how am I going to control myself?"

His head kept banging against the ground in the dream world, and Carl forced himself to calm down.

But controlling thoughts is not that simple, and today's dream world seems to be highly responsive to any of Carl's thoughts.

In the past, Carl could only change the dream world when he was concentrating, but from now on, any of his slightly obvious thoughts were actually executed by the dream world.

"Psychic power! Oh, I still have psychic power! If I use psychic power..."

Psychic energy fluctuations emanated from his body, and Carl's chaotic thoughts began to converge under the constraints of the psychic energy.

As the distracting thoughts in his mind became fewer and fewer, the Hope illusion that was clinging to him loosened its grip, climbed off his body, and stood aside.

The entire dream world fell into a state of stillness, and Carl's mind was as calm as water.

At a certain moment, he suddenly felt that he had fallen into a "deeper" dream.

But before Carl could gain more insights into this, the entire dream world suddenly changed because of the fluctuations in his thoughts.

The farm in his hometown, the classroom in his previous life, his parents in both lives, his friends, his childhood friend, Hope, his girlfriend in his previous life whose name he almost forgot, countless illusions quickly appeared in front of Carl and then disappeared just as quickly.

His thoughts began to fluctuate again, and chaotic ideas began to emerge one by one.

I don’t know how long it took, but the dream world stabilized.

When he opened his eyes again, Carl found himself lying in the room in the Eludin Wilderness.

The decorations around him made him feel familiar, as if he had really returned to his home.

"Karl~"

At this moment, an emotional voice sounded in Carl's ears. Hope, who was more mature than in reality, lay on his side beside Carl and opened his eyes lazily.

Seeing Karl wake up, she held Karl’s arm and placed it in the middle of her chest.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, like a couple in love.

"What's going on? Is my cheat really Inception?"

After swallowing hard, Carl felt his mouth was dry.

Seeing Carl standing in a daze, Hope smiled charmingly and moved closer like a water snake.

At this moment, Karl had a strong premonition in his heart that he could do anything with the other party as long as he wanted.

"No, this is too cruel. Hope is my important companion. I can't use this special ability to treat her like this in my dream. If I really like her, I can pursue her in reality! Unless..."

The moment this thought came to my mind, the surrounding scene instantly collapsed.

Carl returned to the dream world he was in before, and some kind of enlightenment emerged in his mind.

'This is the second layer of the dream world, which can simulate real physical engines and materials to a certain extent. I just left the third layer of the dream. The time flow rate between each layer of the dream is twenty times different.'
