That night.
Su Mo rarely had a nightmare.
In the dream, Tian Yuan Territory was peaceful. The villagers were developing in orderly fashion under the new rules that had just been announced.
But before long, many shapeless monsters emerged from the fog and swarmed toward them. To protect the village, he led people around the enemy in an attempt to besiege Wei to rescue Zhao. But they had barely gone far.
A shell radiating intense flames flew over from the distance.
As the warhead grew larger and larger before his eyes, Su Mo suddenly awoke from the dream and sat straight up.
Sweat seeped from his back.
Without the reflection of sunlight, the third floor of the shelter seemed even gloomier. It was as if man-eating monsters were lurking in the darkness.
He summoned the Game Panel and glanced at the time in the upper-right corner.
8:05.
For once, he had broken through the limits of his biological clock and slept until broad daylight.
"Woof—aoow."
Oreo entered through the bedroom door with light steps, then sat upright at the doorway, its gaze fixed on the Bedside Table.
Su Mo instinctively turned his head and was stunned to discover that the cabinet, which had held only a glass of water last night,
now had three things on it.
A fruit somewhat resembling an apple, a small bottle about as long as a finger, and a cube resembling a magic cube.
"These are the gifts brought back by the Hope for its journey through the myriad worlds?"
The rewards he had claimed yesterday had been issued by the game in this manner.
Su Mo focused his gaze in realization, and three brief status panels quietly appeared.
