"That's right, this is the Dream. Your memory is excellent, sir. After all these years, you still remember this ship. To others, an old ship like this is nothing but scrap metal, but to you, this Dream should still hold some sentimental value," said Fan Lang.
"It certainly does." Ma Tengyun nodded, taking the picture and gazing thoughtfully at the old ship within it. "This was my first starship. Back then, I piloted this ship through the universe with my business partners, building one deal after another and making the money in our pockets snowball bigger and bigger. The Dream was where my dream began. After so many years in business, I changed starships again and again, and most of the people around me changed too. Then one day, I found myself missing this Dream, so I put out a reward for information on its whereabouts. Whoever could bring the Dream back to me would receive a huge sum of money. Quite a few people came after the reward was announced, but they were all swindlers, bringing fake Dreams. The real Dream has remained missing to this day. The Dream in this picture looks rather interesting. I wonder where it is now?"
"The ship is in my possession. If you would honor me with a meeting, you can inspect it in person and determine whether it is real."
"Good. Let's arrange a place to meet. Even if it weren't for this ship, a Dragon Among Men like you is worth meeting."
"My insignificant reputation has actually spread all the way here."
"That reputation of yours is hardly insignificant, so don't be modest."
The two then agreed on a time and place to meet in reality, choosing one of Ma Tengyun's properties, the most luxurious restaurant in the area.
