The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight entered the living room, he opened his eyes.
The desk fan blew the hot air all night, and the cicadas chirping "knowing, knowing" resounded outside the window.
Well, now it can be confirmed that sleeping in a dream will not bring you back to reality, Roland thought, and it can also play a role in rest.
As odd as this may sound,… whatever, as long as it works.
He got up from the sofa with a yawn and was about to go to the kitchen to make breakfast when Zero's scream suddenly came from the bedroom.
Then she appeared at the door with a blushing face, pointed at Roland, and stammered, "Yesterday I... you..."
"The sofa I slept on last night," the latter shrugged, "please, you are sweaty and you haven't taken a shower, so I won't sleep with you."
The little girl picked up her collar and smelled it, and her face turned even redder. Compared with her long snow-white hair, it was almost indistinguishable from a ripe apple. She hurriedly ran back to her bedroom and fiddled around for a while, then rushed into the bathroom with laundry and changed clothes.
Soon there was the sound of a shower.
When she came out, Roland had already made breakfast.
Compared with the usual monotonous fried egg fritters, this time the breakfast is much more hearty. Fried bacon, salt and pepper eggs, grilled dried fish and a plate of fresh grapes.
Of course, the raw materials all come from the holy city world behind the iron gate.
"Have you bought meat?" Zero asked in surprise, wrapped in a wet headscarf, she could see her throat twitching slightly, apparently swallowing.
"Well, I bought a lot and put them in the refrigerator," Roland handed her a pair of chopsticks, "I found a new job."
"Really?" Her voice suddenly became excited, and what had just happened seemed to be forgotten.
"Well, I'll get my salary soon," Roland laughed. "These were bought for celebration."
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you finally broke the bottom line and did something irreparable."
What is the irreversible thing? He secretly slandered, could it be that this guy thought he would steal and rob? Uh... Seems like a robbery isn't a big deal in the dream world.
"Then you got heatstroke yesterday because you were looking for a job and got too much sun?"
"Probably... well," he threw a grape into his mouth, "in any case, you don't have to worry about money in the future."
"It's so fragile," Zero said, "When will you stop people from worrying so much, uncle."
Roland almost choked on the grapes, "It's like you always worry about me."
"Uh..." This time it was Zero's turn to be dumbfounded. After a while, she glared, "The breakfast you made was a waste of ingredients. The bacon obviously had no salt, so you added another!"
This guy is very good at changing the subject. Roland took a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth, "I think it's good, but some parts are not fried."
"Let me do it in the future, really," Having said that, Zero quickly swept away the food on the plate, then carried her schoolbag and went out the door, "Put the plate first, I wash up with dinner when I get back."
"Wait," Roland stopped her, "do you know of any used bookstores nearby?"
…
This time it took him three days to escape from the dream, and when he woke up, the sun in Neverwinter had risen to the sky.
It seems that the time flow rate on both sides is about one to eight, which means that one night in the real world can be used there for two natural days. If you count the time spent in bed, staying for three days will not make people feel aware.
The first thing Roland did when he got up was to find a golden dragon and squeeze it hard in his hand.
The golden dragon didn't move at all, but his fingers were pinched so painfully.
It seemed that that inexplicable power really only appeared in dreams, he sighed, put the golden dragon back in place, put on his coat and sat in front of the desk.
Roland intends to transcribe the key knowledge he revisits while his memory is clear, including the missing parts of various basic subjects, as well as the detailed design drawings of some large-scale industrial equipment.
In the past three days, he has not been idle. The sale of stolen goods went very smoothly. He first found a local second-hand goods forum and posted pictures of the armor on the Internet, claiming that there was a batch of medieval imitation handicrafts for sale at a low price. Due to the excellent workmanship and the extremely low price, buyers soon came looking for it. Come to the door.
In the end, the armor was sold at the price of 500 sets of cabbage, a hand crossbow and a 100 daggers. Anyway, it was no business, and Roland didn't feel bad about it. On the contrary, the golden dragon was much harder to sell than he imagined. Even if all of them were made into round cakes, the bank would not accept gold goods sold through informal channels, whether it was gold bars or gold jewelry.
The gold shop also hit a wall. Several nearby gold shops only recycle the accessories sold in the shop, and they also need to pay a handling fee. Instead, a salesman gave him an address where he said there was an old pawnshop where he could collect gold of unknown origin, but the price was only half the market price. Thinking that there were only a dozen golden dragons in total, and the texture was far from pure gold, Roland simply threw them all into the closet.
With this skill, he might as well carry a few more sets of armor.
And for those three dazzling gems, Roland didn't know who to sell them to, and in the end he had to let it go.
After he had the remaining money, he immediately scoured the used bookstore near the apartment building and bought back all the textbooks he had read. As for those who had not read it, there was only a cover and the pages were all blank. Obviously, the dream world is not beyond his consciousness, and it is temporarily impossible for Anna to dominate the whole field.
But thanks to his extensive hobbies, he has browsed a lot of useless knowledge on the Internet, and he can get detailed answers by using the Internet to find some drawings that he has only seen at a glance.
In addition to these necessities that can quickly improve the technological level of Neverwinter, Roland also bought two new clothes for Zero, and at the same time added a set of winter camping equipment for himself, spending all the money he earned.
He can still remember the shock and disbelief the little girl showed when she got the new clothes. When he asked strangely, he knew that this was the first time the other party had received a gift, and it would be good if he didn't beat her at home.
As the creator of the dream, Roland felt a little guilty for some reason.
It was not until noon that Nightingale quietly appeared in the room.
"You didn't go down for breakfast?"
"Well," Roland replied without looking up, "please bring me a lunch, I'll just eat it in the bedroom."
"Is this the result of your morning?" Nightingale weighed the stack of manuscript papers beside the table in surprise, "Why do you have so many ideas all of a sudden?"
"They were in my mind, but I forgot about them for a while," Roland moved his wrists. "Look, what do you think?"
"Describe the electromagnetic field in... a certain volume... mathematical model in the form of integral...?" Nightingale said while holding her forehead, "Your Majesty, I'm a little dizzy, so I'll serve you some food first."
Roland couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, "Go ahead."
"By the way, aren't you going to the office today?" She turned her head and asked when she reached the door.
"What's wrong?"
