Chapter 28 Becoming a Dream Story Director
Ye Xiaoxuan stepped into the dream battlefield and fought her way to the core area, with a magic wand in hand and a fierce look under the hood. What she saw was a hellish scene:
Under the gray-green sky, it stands in the shadow cast by the office building.
The six-meter-tall body is covered in asphalt-like scales, and the protrusions of the spine are covered with jagged bone spurs.
When it breathes, the intercostal membranes reveal a dark red color like lava, as if they are about to spew out sulfur-smelling flames at any time.
"Is this the final boss of this central area?"
Facing such a horrible monster, Ye Xiaoxuan murmured.
"It's me. What can I do for you?" A faint voice came from an inconspicuous corner.
Ye Xiaoxuan looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned.
The villain in front of him had no ferocious mask or evil cloak. Instead, he was wearing a wrinkled suit, had dark circles under his eyes, and was holding a stack of unfinished KPI reports in his hand.
Ye Xiaoxuan: "...Who are you?"
The man looked up tiredly: "Oh, the new magical girl? Wait a minute, I'll reply to the email first."
Then, he swiped his finger, and a virtual screen popped up in his dream, and he typed frantically on the keyboard.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xiaoxuan slowly put down her wand: "What do you mean? Have other magical girls been here? And...what are you doing?"
The worker didn't even raise his head when he heard this: "My boss asked me to submit the proposal before 12 o'clock tonight, otherwise my year-end bonus will be deducted."
Look carefully, this man is called Xiao Shuai. After working overtime for a week, he finally went completely crazy.
Black and red energy surged around his body.
Ye Xiaoxuan (silent for two seconds): "...Who is your boss?"
Xiao Shuai seemed to have thought of something, his teeth were about to break: "The arrogant Mr. Ding! That Zhou Baopi! He will be in trouble sooner or later!"
…
Five minutes later, the scene in the dream battlefield suddenly changed.
Ye Xiaoxuan and the "villain" sat side by side on the steps at the edge of the dream, with two cans of virtual beer (dream limited edition) in front of them.
Ye Xiaoxuan: "So, you turned evil because you worked too much overtime?"
Xiao Shuai took a sip of beer and said, "Oh, it's more than just overtime! The prize draw at the annual meeting is all 'paid vacation one hour coupons'!"
Ye Xiaoxuan felt the same way: "My previous company's annual meeting prize was 'free punching in once'."
Xiao Shuai was also angry when he heard this: "Ding Baopi also said that '996 is a blessing'!"
Ye Xiaoxuan sneered: "My former boss said, 'Come to work overtime on weekends, the company is your home.'"
They both said in unison: "Bullshit! This is my house, why are you staying here?"
Before long, both of them had drunk enough in their dreams, and Ye Xiaoxuan was about to leave.
Before leaving, she tapped Xiao Shuai's forehead and said to him, "Hey, you are so tired at work, just relax in your dreams, I will give you a good dream."
"How can you sleep? Ah? How can you sleep? Ding Yaoliang, let me tell you, there are many bosses like you out there..."
But when Ye Xiaoxuan started to leave, she couldn't help but murmur: Can this really prevent things from happening?
The first dream ended, and then the second one...
Look carefully, this woman’s name is Xiaomei.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, she was awakened by the alarm clock. She washed up in a hurry and found that the comb was still tangled in her hair when she went out. People were coming and going on the street, but she couldn't untie it.
[Rage value +1]
She was busy fixing her hair, but her high heels got stuck in the subway gate. When she tried to pull them out, the train doors closed and left.
[Rage value +2]
I rushed into the company 10 minutes late and found that my computer had a blue screen. All the plans I worked on all night were gone.
[Rage value +3]
I just wanted to ask for help from the IT department, but they said the procedures were not correct and they would not process it. Then I spent a day running around to get the procedures done, but they turned me down again.
[Rage +4]
During lunch break, the wrong takeaway was delivered. I was working on a PPT on an empty stomach. Suddenly, the power went out and the unsaved documents disappeared again. It was pouring rain when I got off work. There were 200 people in the taxi queue. My phone had only 3% battery left. I finally got home, but the key broke in the lock. The landlord’s phone was unreachable, so she squatted at the door. The yogurt in her bag had leaked out at some point, soaking the expense report that she had to submit tomorrow.
[Anger value +10086]
Finally returning to the rental house, Xiaomei looked at the dark night sky and sighed: "Can this day get any more unlucky?" - Just as she finished speaking, the sound of an electric drill from the renovation work upstairs rang out.
[Rage value max]
“Ahhhhh, I can’t stand it anymore!”
Just when Xiaomei was about to become completely furious, a magic wand hit her on the back of the head with a "bang", knocking her unconscious in her dream.
Then, Ye Xiaoxuan tapped her finger lightly again.
An extremely lucky dream formed in her mind.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, she was awakened by the gentle kiss of the sun and found that she was 10 minutes earlier than the alarm clock.
[Pleasure value +1]
When she was washing up, she was surprised to find her favorite hairpin lying next to the sink. When she was leaving the house, her neighbor's golden retriever happily brought her the scarf she lost yesterday.
[Pleasure value +2]
The subway gate opened the green channel for her in advance. As soon as she stepped onto the platform, the empty train opened its doors for her alone.
[Pleasure value +3]
She arrived at the company on time and found that the administrative department had upgraded the computer configuration. The automatic cloud backup function optimized the plan she worked on late at night to a more perfect level.
[Pleasure value +4]
During lunch break, she got a coupon for takeout and ordered her favorite braised pork rice bowl for only five yuan. After lunch, she took a break for a while, then worked on the PPT and handed it to her supervisor for approval. After work, she got a taxi and it arrived in a short while. It started to rain after she got in the car. The driver was very kind and even sent her to the door of the rental house. When she got home in the evening, she turned on her phone and found that her favorite TV series had just been updated. She lay on the sofa, drank yogurt, and spent an ordinary day.
[Pleasure value +10086]
It was time to go to bed. The rainstorm stopped suddenly and a rainbow appeared across the sky. She didn't have to work overtime today, so she could lie on the bed and have a good sleep.
[Pleasure value max]
The furious energy dissipated.
…
Outside the dream, the real world.
Ye Xiaoxuan finished her two dreams before the day had completely brightened. At this moment, she was sitting on the windowsill, looking up. The moonlight sprinkled on her face, weaving into a thin layer of gauze, exuding a faint sense of loneliness.
To the extent that Zi was stunned after checking the situation around him.
But at this time, Ye Xiaoxuan was still immersed in the depression brought to her by the previous dream and couldn't extricate herself.
She travels through her consciousness to save other people's dreams, but in fact, who needs to be saved more?
Will she, when she fights to the end, discover that the final boss might be the "social mechanism that makes adults lose their dreams" itself?
After thinking like this for a long time, Ye Xiaoxuan murmured, "Xiao Zi, do you think what we are doing is really meaningful?"
Xiao Zi: ...
A warm energy penetrated into her brows, and her consciousness gradually blurred. In a daze, Ye Xiaoxuan's eyelids gradually became heavy. After a long time, her even breathing could be heard by the windowsill.
Looking at her figure lying on the windowsill, Zi looked at her with a rare tenderness in his eyes. You are tired too, having done so many things. Let me wish you a good dream!
Perhaps from this moment on, Zi finally understood why humans need to sleep.
[Ding - Because the host has performed well, System Purple has decided to give the host a beautiful dream, plus 10086 points of pleasure. The host has received the system's beautiful dream. Mental stability +1]
So just like that, when Ye Xiaoxuan woke up the next day, she felt refreshed. The effect of giving pleasure points still remained in her body. She felt that she could go run ten laps right now.
So, that morning, when Ye Xiaoxuan live-streamed her running again, the response was obviously much more positive.
Even the audience in the live broadcast room noticed this, and the barrage of comments in the room kept scrolling.
"Anchor, anchor, why did you decide to start running?"
"Because the host is a magical girl and is currently undergoing special training."
"Anchor, anchor, can I still be a magical girl at 35?"
"Of course you can. Magic is an identity and girlhood is a state of mind. Of course, magic can also be a state of mind. You can be a magical girl no matter how old you are."
"Anchor, anchor, are you alone or in a team?"
"I was alone before, but now I'm a team. Come and say hello to everyone."
The photographer nearby was originally following the action on his bicycle and was suddenly pulled to the front of the stage. He cautiously greeted the audience.
Chen Yu, who was standing nearby, also took part in the shot.
"Hi~"
Ye Xiaoxuan finished today's live broadcast in such an extremely excited manner, until her live broadcast ended and the effect of the pleasure points disappeared, and she watched the replay in the live broadcast room.
…
Toes tapped awkwardly.
"Xiao Zi, come out and explain."
[Drip——The host's pleasure points have been consumed, anger value +1]
Ye Xiaoxuan: ...
"Come out, who's there?"
