Chapter 13 "The Fourth Scene" [The Magic Continues]...
[It has been detected that you have cleared the novice decryption copy "Valley Sounds". You will automatically obtain the entry token for the normal decryption copy "Valley Fantasy".]
[The standard puzzle dungeon "Valley Fantasy" is an upgraded version of the novice puzzle dungeon "Valley Sounds", adding many new plots.]
[Please do not use the same method to clear "Valley of Sounds" to clear "Valley of Fantasy"!]
He Yuezhe and the other two had just started chatting in the group chat when a series of system prompts popped up above the chat box.
——【“Boss Bear is so nice.”
——"Colorful World"/Delivered at 11:12:00 on February 1, Second Era.
The chat box is still stuck in the "Colorful World" style, which is completely different from the previous one.
He Yuezhe ignored it and followed the system prompts to check the extra bunch of wild flowers in the "keepaway" column in his backpack.
[Keeping gift: a bouquet of wild flowers]
[From the Novice Puzzle dungeon "Strange Sounds in the Valley." A bouquet of wildflowers tied with a black rubber band, its fragrance wafting through the air. This token, used to enter the Standard Puzzle dungeon "Valley of Fantasy," withers after 7 days, 12 hours, and 45 minutes.]

"Did you all get this? [Keeper: a bouquet of wildflowers]"
——"Hummingbird"/Sent at 11:20:10 on February 1st of the Second Era.
"Received. [Treasure: a bouquet of wildflowers]"
——"4399 Game Master"/Delivered at 11:21:56 on February 1, Second Era.

"Should I have received it?"
——"Colorful World"/Delivered at 11:23:00 on February 1, Second Era.
"Don't send the message if you haven't received it."
"How about going this afternoon? @'4399Game Master'."
"Also, let's talk about that matter when we meet again. It's not very safe here :)."
——"Hummingbird"/Sent at 11:25:11 on February 1st of the Second Era.
"I want to go, too."
"QAQ"
——"Colorful World"/Delivered at 11:26:00 on February 1, Second Era.
"Who are you?"
——"4399 Game Master"/Delivered at 11:26:19 on February 1, Second Era.
"Wow, you're so cute!"
——"Hummingbird"/Sent at 11:26:21 on February 1st of the Second Era.
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Remember to block me."
——"Colorful World"/Delivered at 11:27:00 on February 1, Second Era.
"Good. You're so cute."
——"Hummingbird"/Sent at 11:27:35 on February 1st of the Second Era.
“:)?”
——"Colorful World"/Delivered at 11:28:00 on February 1, Second Era.
"See you at the dungeon entrance."
——"Hummingbird"/Sent at 11:29:21 on February 1st of the Second Era.
Due to the new regulations in the Second Age: Seizing the Light, He Yuezhe and Yuan Yang are in the same kingdom, but the "Colorful World" does not seem to be in the same kingdom as them.
Therefore, He Yuezhe and Yuan Yang can use private chat, while "Colorful World" can only communicate with two people in group chat.
But "Colorful World" strongly requested the two not to use private chat, as it would make him very sad, so the two agreed reluctantly.
But even if the two of them communicated in the group chat, "Colorful World" didn't seem happy?
^
"Are you well?"
"It's just a minor cold. It's been four days. It should be better now."
"Oh, that's right," He Yuezhe said, his hands behind his back, as the two of them walked from the teleportation point to the new entrance to "Valley of Fantasy." "You're almost a frequent visitor to the hospital. But, do you get sick often in real life?"
Yuan Yang lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and did not answer.
"Hello? You're still dizzy." He Yuezhe waved her hand in front of him.
Yuan Yang finally came to his senses: "No. I'm quite healthy."
"I see..."
...Then why don’t you remember looking for him?
Why don’t I remember…
...Although He Yuezhe himself had almost forgotten it.
^
The two walked neither fast nor slow, and soon arrived at the entrance to the new copy.
As the only novice-level puzzle copy in The First Era: Seeking Light, "Strange Sounds in the Valley" has always been popular.
Many players have also formed a group chat specifically for discussing walkthroughs for "Valley of Sounds", and He Yuezhe only found out about it a few days ago.
If there were no Valley, I would eat Nuts! (999+)
"Valley of Fantasy" is now open! Has anyone already completed it? Players who have completed it can share their strategies in the group!"
——"Valley Fanatic"/Delivered at 12:10:08 on February 1, Second Era.
This is the first player to form a group chat. It is said that he has played "Valley of Sounds" 99 times and is indeed an avid fan.
"Didn't they say there were multiple endings? Anyone want to play together? Oh, and just a reminder, 'Valley of Wonders' is a three-player dungeon. Even if you don't have the required number of players in your group, a random player will be added."
"Team up (1/n). Waiting for everyone."
——"The bell rolls are the best"/Delivered at 12:11:19 on February 1, Second Era.
"Hinabiki, aren't you going to PVP?"
——"Happy Lemon"/Delivered at 12:12:00 on February 1, 2019.
"I'm not a ringer."
——"The bell rolls are the best"/Delivered at 12:13:11 on February 1, Second Era.

......
A stream of question marks flashed across the screen.
He Yuezhe closed the group chat, turned to Yuan Yang and said, "Three people, did you see it?"
"Well," Yuan Yang finally looked up. The two of them had already reached the entrance of the dungeon. "Just randomly match with someone."
"Why not use it when there is one ready-made one?" He Yuezhe was curious.
The two stood outside the crowd surrounding the entrance, waiting for the crowd to enter, and the sound of their chatting became quieter and quieter.
"What's ready?"
"Don't act stupid."
"No."
"Then why not..." He Yuezhe stopped asking questions when he saw everyone had gone in. He gestured for Yuan Yang to go in, "Forget it, go in first."
"good."

[Matching players (2/3)——]
[Match successful!]
[The normal difficulty dungeon "Valley Fantasy" is about to begin! Players, please be prepared!]
[Would you like to enter the dungeon: Valley of Fantasy (recommended level Lv. 10)?]
[This instance is of normal difficulty and requires players to present a token: a bouquet of wildflowers.]
[whether]
After the matching began, He Yuezhe and the other person entered a digitized space.
There was a triangular table, with He Yuezhe and Yuan Yang sitting at each end. Both of them were digitized images and difficult to recognize.
Soon, a data image with a somewhat strange shape appeared at the other end of the triangular table.
The three of them clicked the [Yes] button almost at the same time!
"Welcome to the dungeon: Valley Fantasy (recommended level Lv. 10)!"
"This is a town full of happiness. The children living here are growing up healthy and happy. They all possess very powerful magic."
"They love it here. They want to live and die here."
"Xiao Qin, your magic has become more powerful again!" The girl's childish voice came from behind.
This familiar plot takes over again.
Xiao Qin hummed twice and puffed out his chest, "Of course! I'm the world's number one [theater troupe]!"
"Your [Flying Leaf] is also very powerful. Remember to treat me to a meal when you pass the exam!" "Xiao Qin" turned his head away.
"Hehe, okay." The word "Ye" appeared above the girl's head. This was probably her name.
Ye grabbed Xiao Qin's hand and said, "Xiao Qin! Can you perform your [New Play] for me again? I was sick last time and didn't see it. What a pity."
"Xiao Qin remembered that during the last [school anniversary], he performed his [new play] on the stage for everyone. But Ye didn't seem to be there."
"She's already quite proficient in the troupe's magic."
"But do you want to perform it again for Ye?"
"This will drain all of Xiao Qin's magic power, and she will fail miserably in tomorrow's [Test]."
"Please make your choice."
[The current dungeon battle mode is: Select.]
[Different choices will lead to different outcomes, please choose carefully!]
"Choice 1: Perform for Ye again."
"Choice 2: Reject Ye's request."
「Choice 3:......(Unlocked)」
He Yuezhe thought about it and shifted his focus to option 1.
"Okay, then remember to treat me to a meal after you finish the [assessment]. "Xiao Qin" sighed helplessly, and the two walked from the street towards the dormitory.
"Okay! I knew Xiao Qin was the best!" "Ye" circled around "Xiao Qin" and smiled happily.
^
"A long time ago, there was a city where a happy family of three lived."
"Dad loves mom, mom loves dad, they both love their children, and their children love them too."
"Xiao Qin! Are you crazy? How can you tell [such a story]!" "Ye" used her tender little hands to wave away the city and three people that "Xiao Qin" had just built.
"Isn't this kind of story forbidden?! Is this what you performed at the school celebration?!"
"Ye, I have always been like this. If you don't want to listen, you can just get out." "Xiao Qin" squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Xiao Qin is not a good kid."
"Xiao Qin is the most mischievous child in the school. All the teachers dislike her, but all the students admire her."
"She attends the worst class, but has the most powerful magic. That's why the bad boy Xiao Qin wasn't expelled."
"Xiao Qin..." "Ye" lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I was too anxious. Let's continue."
"Hmph, I don't want this to happen again." "Xiao Qin" glared at her.
"The magic continues."
"In this happy family, Dad is a law enforcer with the magic of [invisibility], and Mom is a great magician with [all] magic."
"Unfortunately, their child has no magical powers. He should have been reduced to a lower class."
"But Dad used the [Invisibility] magic, and Mom used [All] magic, and together they kept the child alive."
"Ye" looked at the ever-changing stage drama in front of him, still shocked and speechless.
"Later... Daddy disappeared during a mission, and at this point, the child still didn't know his real name."
"Mom searched for him day after day, and finally, one day, Mom said she had found Dad, but she couldn't bring him back."
"The child asked, 'Why?'"
"Mom said, 'Because Dad...'"
"Bang--"
The city before their eyes was suddenly shattered by a bullet. In the magnificent ruins, the only one left alive was the "child" who should have died long ago.
"The child carries his mother's body and walks on and on, from a baby to a child, from a child to a young boy, and from a young boy to a young man."
"The child has grown up."
"Then what? What then?" "Ye" was a little anxious. The story was at its climax, but "Xiao Qin" stopped talking.
"Xiao Qin" rolled his eyes at her and said, "Silly girl, it's time for me to go to bed. I don't want to stay up late telling you stories."
"Xiao Qin" retracted the magic, climbed back to his upper bunk, covered himself with the quilt and began to fall asleep.
…
"Xiao Qin no longer pays attention to the conversations of other people in the dormitory. This is what the eccentric bad boy Xiao Qin should do."
"Bad boy Xiao Qin fell into a deep sleep."
"Past memories were once again forcibly dragged out from the depths of my mind. This is why Xiao Qin is reluctant to overuse the [Theatre Troupe]."
"Can you please not..." He Yuezhe was shocked to realize that this was clearly the voice of "A Ling" in "Strange Sounds in the Valley".
Then came the "Inspector's" voice: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... but... you need me... I can't..."
"What's the use of saying sorry... I love... If... we say goodbye... what about her?"
"I...I will...believe..."
"Bang--"
“Pah—”
"Bang--"
"Sizzle—"
“Ah—ah—”
The little baby lay in the cradle with her big curious eyes open.
She couldn't understand what was happening around her, and she couldn't understand why no one came to play with her.
A strange fragrance came.
The little baby lay in the cradle with her peaceful eyes closed.
She couldn't touch anything that was happening around her, let alone her toys and her warm home.
......
......
......
"Hahaha......"
"Xiao Qin, you had a nightmare again? Do you want me to go to the [Infirmary] and get you some [Special Medicine]?"
"Ye" poked his little head out from the lower bunk and touched the sweaty "Xiao Qin" with concern.
"No!!!" "Xiao Qin" covered his head and yelled, "No!!!"
"don't want!!!--"
"don't want--"
"Xiao Qin, it's okay, Xiao Qin..."
“No…no…I don’t want to take [medicine]…I don’t want to take [medicine]…”
"Xiao Qin gradually calmed down under Ye's comfort."
"It's 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the school's curfew time. Xiao Qin is being led by Ye to a certain place in the school."
^
"Who's there! Don't you know it's curfew now?!" It was the voice of the bad guy.
"Ah—" "Ye" screamed and quickened her pace. It was the voice of [Neutral].
"Hey! Come over here!" It was... the voice of the [good guy]. "Be careful——!"
"Ah - Xiao Qin - hold on to me -"
"Xiao Qin felt like he was being pulled tightly by someone, falling into an abyss."
