Bai Tang: But I Understand Yanqing!

"They became an Aeon while continually fulfilling their own wishes. The faction that follows them is called the Dreamchasers. Only they possess some Path power of 'Wish,' but there are far too few of them."

More precisely, anyone who possessed the Path power of "Wish" could join the Dreamchasers outright. Once they lost that Path energy, they were no longer a Dreamchaser.

Dan Heng had organized the Data Bank and knew quite a lot. He kept recalling information about the Path of "Wish."

"The Dreamchasers follow the Path of 'Wish,' fulfilling their own wishes and those of others. But they have principles, and there are some delusions they won't help with."

Nobody knew why. They didn't care who made the wish or how it was fulfilled, and they didn't ask for money afterward.

Yet they were extremely picky about which wishes they chose, and nobody knew the pattern behind their choices either. They would fulfill some wishes to kill, but wouldn't act on others. They might even beat up the person who made the wish.

"If the Path energy in Bai Tang's body can suppress the others, that means she's at least on the level of an Emanator. The Path energy of 'Wish' is very hard to obtain, but she..."

Given Bai Tang's experiences, it was indeed very possible she possessed it, since she hadn't gone mad. Just look at Jingliu—she was already out of her mind, while Bai Tang was still like an ordinary person.

Their mental states weren't even comparable.

March 7th said joyfully, "So, does that mean Bai Tang will be all right?"

Every Path had its own distinct effects. They didn't know what "Wish" did, but they'd heard that every Dreamchaser was difficult to deal with. Compared with others, the probability of killing them was almost infinitely low.

They were few in number, but their combat strength was no joke. As long as a few gathered together, eighty percent of people wouldn't dare lead troops against them. Their abilities were extremely bizarre, and every time they were surrounded, they somehow escaped.

"What's going to happen to me?"

The ghostlike Bai Tang gave March 7th a huge fright. "Aaaah! Bai Tang! How did you get here?!"

"When I woke up, I found you were all gone, so I came looking for you."

When Bai Tang woke up, she discovered she had actually fallen asleep at Jing Yuan's house. She couldn't get in touch with anyone, though Herta had sent her a message.

[Bai Tang: I can give you some things related to Aeons, but forget about researching me.]

[Bai Tang: Image.JPG] ×n

[Bai Tang: Which one do you want?]

[Herta: All of them. If you need money, ask Asta.]

It seemed she wouldn't have to wait until she went to Herta Space Station. Herta had come to ask her herself.

After Bai Tang replied to Herta, she saw that nobody else had responded, so she went out to look for them herself.

In the end, she saw a group of familiar faces gathered at the Matrix of Prescience.

"Big sister."

Aventurine acted well-behaved. If he tried hard enough, he could be just like little Kakavasha up there.

"Aventurine."

Huh? Why was the flashy peacock being so well-behaved today? He was different from before.

Hmm, he was a lot like the Kakavasha in her panel.

She checked the panel, and good grief, Aventurine's communications had been unlocked. Not just his, either—a whole bunch had been unlocked at once. It was just that she hadn't checked in and had been asleep.

Bai Tang: 6.

Those few guys in the panel must have been up to something.

But it was good that they had. The resurrection progress had shot up a huge amount.

Her hands itched to ruffle his hair, but this wasn't her Aventurine, so she'd better forget it.

"Bai Tang, would you like to come to the Yaoqing? The Yaoqing is no worse than the Luofu, and it has closer dealings with the IPC. Come to the Yaoqing, and I can lend you Jiaoqiu to play with."

Feixiao still remembered that some people didn't want to be a general, so she hadn't promised her the position.

Jiaoqiu: "!!! General!!"

Listen to what you're saying!

"Pfft, hahahahaha."

Bai Tang laughed. Come to think of it, Jiaoqiu was easily ruffled too, and teasing him was a lot of fun.

Moze had already turned invisible to keep Feixiao from setting her sights on him and making him one of the things used to lure Bai Tang over.

Other things aside, a foxian general who was on good terms with Boss Yao surely had her own mischievous streak.

"General Feixiao, the Astral Express is great, and I'm not planning to get off. But when I have time, I'll come visit the Yaoqing."

Because it was Feixiao's projection, Bai Tang couldn't follow Feixiao around to check in and chat. Feixiao also had plenty to do, so it was already good that she could squeeze out this much time.

Aventurine was also super busy, with lots to do.

So after the few of them chatted a little longer, they all went back. Stelle continued dealing with the Heliobus, while Bai Tang followed Dan Heng and March 7th back to the train.

"Once Stelle's finished, let's all have a Pillow Fight."

March 7th still had the Pillow Fight on her mind.

"Sure."

[Stelle: Bai Tang, the Heliobus has taken control of Yanqing.]

[Stelle: Sushang is holding him off.]

[Bai Tang: ...Go find Jing Yuan. Why are you asking me?]

No matter how much he was manipulated, Yanqing could never strike Jing Yuan. Such was the power of a top-tier Jing Yuan stan: he would sooner strangle himself than touch a hair on Jing Yuan's head.

If she were over there, she'd probably have drawn her sword and started fighting already.

Bai Tang said she didn't know much about the Heliobus, but she understood Yanqing!

[Bai Tang: I'm planning to go to Herta Space Station afterward. Want to come?]

[Stelle: Sure, let's go together.]

The plot of A Fool's Troubles was about to begin, and Professor Dr. Ratio was about to make his appearance.

But Bai Tang wasn't planning to meet Professor Dr. Ratio. It wasn't because she was too stubborn and had been classified among the fools, idiots, and morons. One could say the Nameless wouldn't fall into that category.

How to put it? The Nameless had basically all taken the first step for the sake of their dreams and persevered on the road of "Trailblaze."

Even if you sold roast chicken to live the life you wanted, Professor Dr. Ratio would consider you a smart person.

The people he found annoying were those who lacked the aptitude yet still believed, like brainless idiots, that they could do it, then blamed others when things went wrong, or those who deluded themselves into wanting everything that didn't belong to them, and so on. Those people were beyond saving.

Those who didn't know what they truly wanted and were lost, or those who knew their dreams and only needed a gentle push to take the first step, could still be saved.

Just look at Aventurine. If Aventurine really understood nothing and relied solely on elusive luck, how could Professor Dr. Ratio possibly have kept helping him?

Lost, but still savable.

Mainly, Professor Dr. Ratio was too... hmm, or rather, she simply didn't want to see a teacher. Whenever she did, she felt inexplicably guilty.

Anyone who had gone to school should know what that was like. Most students were like that, and even some top students felt the same way, afraid of getting caught.

Especially someone like Dr. Ratio, who was like a homeroom teacher. She wanted to see him even less. She averted her gaze.

Someone like Bai Tang, both a top student teachers liked and a bad student teachers disliked, who had done things that disappointed them all on her own because her obsession ran too deep, was most afraid of seeing teachers.

When she went to Herta Space Station, she had to hide well and avoid meeting Professor Dr. Ratio!

Still, it wouldn't be bad to sneak a look from a little corner, as long as the teacher didn't see her.

Bai Tang: Hello, Professor Dr. Ratio. Goodbye, Professor Dr. Ratio.
