After Retiring From the Underworld, I Entered an Infinite Game

Chapter 153: God's Favor (II)

Views:

In fact, when Jie Fangcheng first entered Zhang Daoan’s dream, he wanted to leave immediately.

Everyone has wishes buried deep in their hearts, and most people don't want others to know about these wishes. Jie Fangcheng respects people's privacy. Although he seems so lazy every day, he is not an impolite person.

But when he saw himself sitting in the first row, Xie Fangcheng couldn't help but become curious about Zhang Daoan's wish.

He is indeed his good brother! I think of him even in my dreams!

Xie Fangcheng thought happily that Zhang Daoan was one of his deepest wishes... Of course, although the theme of the wish was "Zhang Daoan help me get the information", it was almost the same, and it proved that he really cared about this brother.

As a result, he was also in Zhang Daoan’s dream!

Jie Fangcheng, who was about to go out, couldn't help but stop.

He wanted to see what Zhang Daoan's wish was for him. As long as he knew what the wish was, he would leave immediately.

But this classroom, this dream of Zhang Daoan... What? Is Professor Zhang's lifelong dream to teach him to learn

Is it because he is too lazy and doesn't like to use his brain, so that Zhang Daoan's deepest dream is actually to use his brain more

Jie Fangcheng couldn't help scratching his head.

The class bell rang and Professor Zhang walked in on time.

He was wearing a crisp black cashmere windbreaker, a suit vest underneath, a white shirt and a blue ink tie. He wore gold-rimmed glasses on his straight nose and his hair was combed neatly. He walked up to the podium with a textbook in his hand, took a step with his long legs, and stepped on the podium with his black leather shoes. He had an upright posture and an outstanding temperament.

Jie Fangcheng is a person who doesn't care much about appearance. At this moment, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Damn, he's so handsome."

But it must be said that Professor Zhang behaves very elite most of the time. No matter what the time, his figure is very straight. Even if Jie Fangcheng doesn't understand his aesthetic sense of clothing, he knows that this combination is handsome.

Although Jie Fangcheng didn't say it, he always felt in his heart that he was like a peacock. He didn't know what he was pretending to be, and he always spread his feathers here and there.

But even though this guy is pretentious, he is actually very handsome. As long as he is not sarcastic, he is not annoying... Well, when he is sarcastic, Jie Fangcheng is not that annoying, especially when he is sarcastic, it is quite interesting to see him being sarcastic to others.

Zhang Daoan, who was sitting on the podium, could not see the only audience member floating in the air.

He glanced around and first noticed the only black hair among the bunch of bald heads.

Yes.

Most of the people in the Buddhist college are bald, but Jie Fangcheng's dense hair is as dazzling as a guiding light.

Zhang Daoan in the dream knew very well that this was a dream, but he seemed to be split into two halves, one half knew that this was fake, and the other half seemed to be the "Zhang Daoan" who was really living in the dream, constantly hinting to him: As long as you want, you can stay in such a beautiful dream forever.

Is it beautiful

Zhang Daoan adjusted his glasses and no longer looked at "Jie Fangcheng" sitting in the first row of the classroom. He just began to lecture calmly.

The real Jie Fangcheng floated in the air like a ghost, watching the show and wanting to see how outrageous Professor Zhang's dream could be.

Then... he listened to Zhang Daoan attending the class smoothly.

After forty minutes, at 6:20 they both opened their eyes.

Xie Fangcheng couldn't help but secretly stare at Professor Zhang beside him.

Absolutely.

Xie Fangcheng also imagined what dreams this man might have, such as immortality, great wealth, and power, which are what all humans pursue... Although Zhang Daoan does not look like that kind of person, despite his vicious methods, he is a man of high ideological awareness and is always ready to start a nationwide uprising.

Jie Fangcheng thought that his ultimate ideal was world peace and unity, but he never expected to see himself after entering his door.

I saw myself and didn’t say anything. People’s dream is to have a good class safely?

It must be said that Professor Zhang’s dream is even more outrageous than “world peace”.

Awesome!

Xie Fangcheng was amazed.

Zhang Daoan's expression remained unchanged after he woke up from the dream.

He looked at the white candles around him.

The candlelight flickered, and the white candle had burned halfway.

Around them, Wei Yuan, Nie Shuangshuang and the others still had their eyes closed, with peaceful and calm expressions, and it was obvious that they were having a sweet dream.

"Well, did you find anything?" Jie Fangcheng felt a little guilty after waking up from the dream.

Although there was nothing interesting about Zhang Daoan's dream, it was a very interesting Marxist philosophy class. Even Jie Fangcheng, who didn't like classes, listened to it with great interest.

But after all, he was secretly watching someone dream. Jie Fangcheng felt like a voyeur and was somewhat guilty.

Zhang Daoan was thinking about a problem and didn't notice his guilty conscience at this moment.

He thought about it and said, "Wei Yuan is right. This feeling is really hard to describe. It's like having a very lucid dream."

The prayer time is from 5:40 to 6:20 every day. After 40 minutes, I feel like I have had enough sleep and can wake up on my own. It is reasonable to be able to get out of the dream immediately like Jie Fangcheng and Zhang Daoan, but judging from Wei Yuan's reactions, it is obvious that they have stayed in the dream on their own initiative.

After Zhang Daoan finished speaking, he asked Jie Fangcheng: "Did you find anything?"

Jie Fangcheng actually made a discovery.

"When I'm in a dream, if I feel that the scene in the dream is too absurd, I will wake up immediately."

He did not intentionally control himself when he was dreaming, but he wanted to see what kind of monster this copy could do.

But because the dream that the copy outlined for him was too fake, and too much like the pie in the sky that his boss painted for a social animal, Jie Fangcheng in the dream not only felt that the dream was ridiculously fake, he even vaguely felt a kind of out-of-control anger.

Drawing cakes, drawing cakes! Drawing cakes again!! This is what my boss is best at!!

Fifty years ago, it was said that the underworld would be fully modernized, paper records would be eliminated, and a high-tech underworld would be built. In the future, self-examinations can be typed on computers, and there will be no need to painstakingly write them by hand.

After so many years of bragging, Xie Fangcheng finally retired. It took him three years to write his retirement application and resume, which is more than 400 pages in total! The references alone involve tens of thousands of files. The most frightening thing is that he has to fill out forms when he borrows the files and when he returns them. Because of this, Xie Fangcheng felt that it would be better not to retire. He would have to start over again and fill out forms again after a hundred or eighty years.

After going back and forth for so long, Jie Fangcheng thought he could really retire, so he closed his eyes and opened them again, and entered this crappy game.

Now, what a mess. When he was down there, his boss always made promises for him. Now that he has entered a dungeon, he still makes promises for him. In other people’s dreams, they either show them seeing their parents or their lovers, but he is asked to see his boss in this broken dream?! What the hell is this!

Corporate slaves can’t stay in the dream for even a second.

Zhang Daoan thought about it and nodded.

They chatted here, and the players around them still clasped their hands devoutly, immersed in their dreams.

"Should we go and see if there are any clues in this temple?" Zhang Daoan said, "Let's look in this room. In case something unexpected happens, we don't know if Wei Yuan and the others will wake up."

"good."

The two of them wandered around the temple.

The temple is spacious and bright, with the dome more than ten meters above the ground.

Jie Fangcheng looked carefully and found that the painting on the dome told a complete story.

In the beginning, there was a deserted city, where people lived without clothes or food. Whenever a drought came, most of these people died, and some even ate their own flesh to survive. Whenever a flood came, the water would break the riverbank and submerge the village.

Human life is very difficult.

Finally one day, the humans who could no longer survive prayed to the gods, hoping that they would have mercy on this poor city. They were willing to offer their children to serve the gods as their servants.

The benevolent God appeared.

He gave clothes to the naked humans and food to the hungry humans. He disciplined the sun and made its sunlight gentle. He punished the torrents and made the rivers gentle.

Finally, He took away human children, raised them under His knees, treated them as His own children, and taught them how to survive.

After they have learned well, the gods will release these human children back into the city and let them spread the skills taught by the gods, making the lives of humans in the city more convenient and happier.

Humans were grateful for His kindness and took the initiative to build a temple for Him on the easternmost mountain, allowing the first ray of light to shine into the temple.

This is the origin of gods and temples.

“It’s a myth.”

Not only is it very mythical, but it also feels weird...

After reading it, Zhang Daoan took two steps forward and stood at the center of the dome.

The image of a god is painted in the center of the dome.

He has soft silver hair, wears a white robe, and has his eyes closed.

He seemed to be holding something in his hand, but due to the passage of time, the image of the object in his hand could no longer be seen clearly.

There is a statue of this god at the very front of the temple, but the god in the statue has his hands crossed in front of his chest.

"There might be a problem there." Zhang Daoan pointed to the hands of the god in the picture.

Jie Fangcheng nodded and was about to say, "Why don't I rush over and take a look," when Wei Yuan and the others finally woke up from their dream.

It's already twenty past seven.

The original prayer time was to end at 6:20, but Wei Yuan and the others' sweet dream lasted longer and longer, and now it has been extended for an hour.

Zhang Daoan glanced at the burning candle.

At 5:40, just as the prayers began and before it got dark outside, the candles began to burn.

After waking up, Wei Yuan and the others were still immersed in the afterglow of the dream. Everyone sat quietly in their seats, recalling everything in the dream. After waiting for a few minutes, they seemed to come back to their senses.

The people from the Death God Guild have left the temple.

This group of people really didn't communicate much with other players. Even during the day when Wei Yuan and his friends were going to help the city residents and accumulate divine power, no one knew where this group of people went and they never showed up.

They were the first to come to their senses at this time, and the group of twenty or so people just left.

The rest of the individual players also left the temple one after another with peaceful and happy looks on their faces.

Wei Yuan and his group were the largest group, and after the dream ended, many of them exchanged a few words.

Wei Yuan was completely immersed in happiness and was talking to Qiao Mai.

Nie Shuangshuang, on the other hand, seemed a little stunned.

After seeing Jie Fangcheng, Nie Shuangshuang sighed, looking melancholy and sad.

"Brother Jie..."

It is no exaggeration to say that Jie Fangcheng felt his hair stand on end for a moment.

This girl has always had a heroic character. She is also very fast. Not only does she disappear at the slightest drop of a hand, but she also talks like a machine gun.

Suddenly hearing her speak in such a gentle and sad tone made Jie Fangcheng feel extremely uncomfortable.

Nie Shuangshuang was only sad for a second, but after seeing Jie Fangcheng's expression, all the sadness disappeared instantly.

She couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what's wrong with you? What did you dream about?"

The expressions of everyone around them were very happy, and it was obvious that they were dreaming about the things they really wanted to dream about.

This realization made Jie Fangcheng very unhappy: "I dreamed that my boss was making big promises for me."

Nie Shuangshuang couldn't understand his depression. When she was alive, she wasn't a social animal who was often hit by pies.

But Qi Chanyang heard it and couldn't help but exclaimed "Oh my god".

"What kind of dream is this?"

If you want to hear your boss make promises, isn’t it enough to hear them while you are alive

Qi Chanyang was also a social animal before his death, so he could understand why Jie Fangcheng was depressed.

He smiled a little embarrassedly.

"I dreamed about our boss, too."

Qi Chanyang has been in the game for so long, and his only dream is to return to the real world.

I don't seek to be rich and powerful in this world, as long as I can live a stable life.

This was reflected in his dream, in which he saw Jie Ge chopped Ji Chaoyang and destroyed the game.

There was no suitable place for so many of them in the underworld, so they were temporarily released back to the world... It was very fake, but when they returned to the world and saw their mother whom they had not seen for a long time, what was real and what was fake? Qi Chanyang's character struggled in this game just to see his relatives again.

He was even grateful for this temple. Even if it was just a dream, being able to see them was the greatest reward.

What's more, in the dream, he restored his original identity - an ordinary office worker.

It’s not really ordinary, after “returning to the real world”, his skills are still there.

So he secretly exposed the scandal of his boss, which he had always wanted to expose but did not dare to do so because he was afraid of losing his job.

The boss was fired after the head office audited his accounts, and Qi Chanyang was promoted because of his good performance.

Work smoothly, live a happy life, respect your parents, and do more good deeds.

In this beautiful dream, he is a complete winner in life, and he is living the ordinary, stable and happy life that he most wants.

When Qi Chanyang woke up, he couldn't even tell what was reality and what was a dream for a moment. He always felt that he was actually the happy self in the dream, and this infinite game was more like a nightmare.

At this moment, he understood Wei Yuan and the others deeply.

To be honest, when I saw Wei Yuan and the others so relaxed yesterday, each of them seemed like a different person. Qi Chanyang was very alert at that time.

Although he had only played it a few times, he was very clear about how terrifying this game was. He knew that this game would never be so kind as to provide them with such a "service".

But today, after experiencing the "prayer dream", Qi Chanyang's mood changed again.

What are players pursuing? The ultimate dream of most people is to return to the real world.

But others don’t know, but those who are prosperous know that “returning to the present world” is a false proposition. No matter how hard they fight or how hard they try, even if they complete the game, there is still a underworld blocking their way, and returning to the present world is impossible.

To be honest, the only motivation that keeps Wei Yuan and his friends from completing dungeons in the game is "revenge for the president."

But in fact, from this point of view, with their strength, their only role is to cheer and support, and everyone knows who the main force is.

Therefore, the prosperous people are the ones who are most addicted to dreams in the copy.

Because they obtain happiness in their dreams that is difficult to obtain in reality.

Yes, happy!

But such happiness is limited. This time, some people have felt melancholy after coming out of the dream... like Nie Shuangshuang.

Nie Shuangshuang is very sentimental. In her dreams, she and everyone in Ronghua - the dead, the alive, and her friends - built a new city in the game after the game was destroyed, and everyone was very happy.

The president has also returned. He is the mayor of the city and continues to be tolerant of everyone, leading the city to gradually become an enlarged version of its former glory.

Everyone is kind and friendly and lives a good life in the city.

Yingying also came back, and they were still best sisters and lived in the same building.

The Ronghua Union building became bustling again, and she became a gold medal real estate salesperson as she wished.

At the end of today's dream, she was eating the pancakes that Aunt Li made especially for her with extra quantity and without paying extra for, and was shopping with Yingying.

They laughed and said they wanted to dye their hair green to make fun of Jie's iconic green hair.

But when he opened his eyes again, he saw the temple in front of him, and although there were members of Ronghua around him... it was still not enough.

The happier you are in the dream, the colder the reality becomes as your friends are dead, your former glory is gone, and the game continues.

At this time, although no one said anything, in fact, someone was already thinking about it.

It is better to die in a dream, to die at the happiest moment, than to shuttle back and forth between happiness and disappointment again and again.

Qi Chanyang had only experienced this dream once, so he had not yet had this idea.

Not only did it not happen, but when Qi Chanyang and Zhang Daoan's eyes met, he suddenly came to his senses and turned to look at the members of Ronghua sitting around him.

He didn't know many of these people, but the atmosphere in Ronghua was good. Qi Chanyang, the newcomer, often chatted in the union channel, so at least everyone was familiar with their faces.

Now, all these once familiar faces had a dazed look on their faces. Qi Chanyang shuddered and blurted out, "Dreams are fake!! Everyone, don't get addicted to them!!!"

I am very happy in the dream, but it is an illusion!

Qi Chanyang was extremely clear-headed at this moment and even felt creepy.

After he said this, everyone just looked at each other.

Wei Yuan tried to comfort him: "We all know it's fake. This dream is very strange. When we were in the dream, we knew clearly that it was a dream and would not confuse the dream with reality. Don't worry, we know what's going on and we won't get addicted..."

"There's a problem with the temple." Zhang Daoan suddenly interrupted him.

"...Ah." Wei Yuan seemed to be a little slow to react. He hesitated for a moment before nodding, "I guess so. This place is very important, so..."

"There is something wrong with the temple itself. I think it's best to just demolish it."

"What are you talking about?!" Before Wei Yuan could say anything, someone asked anxiously, "What's the problem with the temple? If you want to push it, you have to give an explanation, right? What if we can't pass it after pushing it?"

"The condition to pass the level is 'find one hundred sons of God'. What does it have to do with the temple? Why can't we pass the level if we tear down the temple? Just find the sons of God. With Manager Jie's military strength, it's easy to pass this dungeon." As he spoke, Zhang Daoan waved his hand impatiently, "Manager Jie, just smash the statue and destroy the temple!"

Although Jie Fangcheng didn't know what he was planning, after looking at him, he immediately pulled out a huge golden sword from his backpack and rushed towards the statue.

"don't want!!"

In an instant, more than a dozen figures blocked Fang Cheng's way, their faces filled with anxiety, and they all spoke in unison to plead for mercy for a statue.

Wei Yuan also looked a little anxious: "We can talk it out! Why do you have to tear down the temple? There must be an explanation, right?"

Zhang Daoan looked at him quietly.

Wei Yuan felt uneasy when he was staring at him. He laughed awkwardly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Daoan's voice came faintly from the temple: "Is this what you said, you are not addicted?"
