A Special Person

Ye Qian's eyelids twitched.

Isn't this reaction a bit too slow?

Moreover, the interface this time is different from the past; it's blood red.

"Analyzing target information."

After thinking for a while, Ye Qian opened the chat channel and checked the situation inside.

Even at this time, some players were still chatting idly.

Aside from the two members of the Insect Blood Society I encountered at the beginning, I haven't really met any other players since.

Perhaps it's because I haven't had much contact with Hidden One.

She thought for a moment, then posted her story online:

"Guys, I was suddenly attacked by someone just now. That guy called me a useless follower of a weak god. Luckily, I'm alive and someone saved me. Then the system popped up this message (with a screenshot attached)."

After finishing writing the content, I thought about it for a while and surprisingly hesitated.

"Won't this reveal anything if I post it like this?"

She thought about it and concluded that logically the system must know what had just happened, so there was no problem in sending it out.

"That person's clothes definitely indicate they're from the Main World. I'll send it."

Ye Qian still pressed the button.

Chapter 168 Special Figures

The chat group quickly responded:

[Dog: What is this?]

[I Am Really Not A Pervert: Oh my god, it's Xiao Qian, adorable Xiao Qian, you've finally come out! I haven't seen you in so long.]

[Ni Ma Oh: You pervert up front, you've been lurking Xiao Qian in the group chat every day, and you actually caught her!]

[I Am Really Not A Pervert: Yay, Xiao Qian, give me a lick!!!]

[Xiao Qian:?]

[Reboqi: Are you being chased? This notification is a bit strange; I've never encountered this before.]

[River Worm: Outrageous, such high-level treatment! I only knew people in the chat group were complaining about how awesome Xiao Qian was, and today I finally met her in person.]

[DaDaDaDaDa: So what happened to her? Can anyone explain?]

[No-Meme Little Orange): Xiao Qian, I know this, you've gotten to the main plot.]

Ye Qian's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly replied.

[Xiao Qian: No-Meme Little Orange, what's the main storyline? Could this world be some kind of game-like place?]

[No-Meme Little Orange): No, I might not have explained myself clearly. In fact, this world is real; it's not a game, and there can't be any game storyline. The storyline I'm referring to is actually the ultimate purpose of this player space—the meaning of our existence.]

[Xiao Qian: Could you elaborate?]

At this moment, Ye Qian was intently staring at the content on the interface.

For some reason, she felt that player activity had been decreasing lately.

After a moment of silence, the No-Meme Little Orange suddenly asked if she could chat privately.

"Is there something wrong with what we're about to discuss that you don't want others to know?"

Ye Qian frowned slightly and replied directly, "Okay."

Then open the private chat interface.

[Xiao Qian: Boss, could you explain this in more detail?]

[No-Meme Little Orange): I'm not the pro, you are.]

[...]

[No-Meme Little Orange): All the players in this world, or rather, those of us summoned here to build our homes, are ostensibly competitors, but in reality, we're all on the same side. You can think of it as us representing something, coming to this place called the Main World to participate in a competition.]

[Xiao Qian: A competition? You mean, there are other worlds like ours, with a large number of lords?]

[No-Meme Little Orange): No, other worlds exist, but they're not lords. You could think of us as the only ones playing a lord game. The competition among players seems to be due to some kind of mechanism, or you could interpret it as... something is breeding poison.]

Ye Qian was somewhat surprised when she saw these contents.

She was trying to determine the truthfulness of what the other person was saying.

[Xiao Qian: How do you know all this?]

[No-Meme Little Orange: I'd say I'm a veteran player too.]

Ye Qian narrowed her eyes.

She clicked on the other person's profile picture and read their profile; they weren't actually a veteran player.

"Could it be that, like Chen Ning, he failed once and had to rebuild his team?"

Just as she was thinking this, a new message was suddenly sent from the other end.

[No-Meme Little Orange): Let's meet, Ye Qian.]

[Xiao Qian:??? ]

Ye Qian was stunned.

She took a deep breath and texted, "How do we meet?"

[No-Meme Little Orange: Do you know the mechanism by which the Player System travels through worlds?]

[Xiao Qian: I don't know.]

[No-Meme Little Orange): Dreams—you might not believe it, but while the world is real, the way to travel from one world to another is through dreams. Yours, mine... a fabricated scene within all of our minds.]

What Little Orange said caused Ye Qian's emotions to fluctuate.

Her current state of mind is very complicated.

Because what the other side said was completely correct.

I travel from one world to another primarily through bubbles in the Dream Realm.

Once the dream is broken, the information about the world disappears, and it becomes impossible to move on.

For Ye Qian herself, only if an avatar arrives in the target world as an anchor point, connecting the two ends, can she possibly sense the actual "channel" between them and then quickly cross over through methods such as sacrifice. Otherwise... a dream is the only way.

[No-Meme Little Orange): Now, try Dream Entry. If you can do divination, then this kind of thing is much simpler.]

[Xiao Qian: I can, I can divine to see you in my dreams, right? This requires your information, otherwise what enters might not be your dream.]

[No-Meme Little Orange): Don't worry, just go to sleep. All you need to know is the name "Little Orange," and I'll find a way to make you point to me.]

Xiaoqian frowned Xiao Qian and replied: Okay.

This communication has ended.

Ye Qian patted her chest.

This is the first time I've met such an important member.

"Could the other party be the entity behind the Player System?"

Even if not, they know enough secrets.

It's not surprising that we connect through dreams.

"Well then, I'll give it a try, since I'm using Ye Qian No. 3's body anyway."

The Player System is now completely detached from the original body. As long as Ye Qian finds a body to replace her, the system will believe that this is the original body. Obviously, this broken system has a serious problem.

"Let's Dream Entry first."

She gave Italin some instructions, telling her to take care of herself, and then prepared to go to sleep.

Just as she closed her eyes, preparing to sleep, suddenly... Ye Qian opened one of her eyes.

"Even though I'm cute, you can't take advantage of me while I'm sleeping."

Hearing this, Italin was speechless. "Ye Qian, you..."

But making jokes like this makes him look even cuter.

Ye Qian No. 3 soon entered the dream.

"Hmm, it seems like I've been guided after all?"

She did not perform divination; instead, after Dream Entry, she sensed the divination power of others.

In other words, the No-Meme Little Orange actually connected with herself from her own perspective through divination?

"No... that's not right!"

Suddenly, Ye Qian looked around and vaguely realized something.

Just now, in the darkness, when Dream Entry, she actually went from one bubble to another.

The new bubble was actually gray, but it was located inside the first large colored bubble.

"In a small world within a larger world?" Ye Qian muttered.

"Indeed, a new illusory Dream Realm specially created in the Main World."

A very soft female voice came from inside.

Ye Qian quickly turned her head and saw a beam of light filled with a sense of holiness.

A magnificent palace appeared before them, and a blurry figure emitting a pale blue light stood there.

"Who are you..."

"I'm sorry, I can't see you in my true form, because my true form has an irresistible Pollution on you."

The woman's words gave Ye Qian a very comfortable feeling.

It's a bit catchy, it sounds so good, like being hypnotized.

"Are you a very strong Transcendent?"

"Transcendent? Such a title..." The other party laughed. "Yes and no. In fact, I am not standing in front of you at all, and even the voice you heard is different. For this era, I have long since vanished. I am nothing more than the afterglow of the Second Era, a trace of power left over from ancient times. Even my existence has been almost completely erased."

"Hmm."

The Second Era... This refers to the Magic Era.

While magic flourishes in this other world, magic in the real world is merely the end of an era.

But...

According to this guy's explanation, and given his abilities, doesn't that mean...?

"What do you want from me?" Ye Qian didn't ask about the other person's identity or anything like that, but went straight to the point.

"Help me."

The other party's answer was also very simple.

With a wave of his hand, a super magical map appeared in front of him.

"The Main World is very large, but it is not boundless. Compared with most worlds, the void coordinates here are completely exposed. Compared with many worlds outside the concept, it is almost undefended, so much so that some Overlord who cannot escape the cycle of reincarnation in this space can easily project their power."

Ye Qian scratched her head.

The Little Orange opposite him paused for a moment, realizing that what he had said might be a bit too advanced for her, so he smiled and explained:

"You can think of it as the existence of countless independent worlds in this multiverse. The coordinates of those worlds are hidden outside the concept and cannot be detected by normal means. But the Main World is different. Its coordinates are exposed, like a lighthouse, constantly indicating its own position, so it is easily discovered by the coordinates of other worlds."

"Mmm." Ye Qian nodded, indicating that she understood.

"As I mentioned before, it's possible to travel to other worlds through dreams, but it's not that simple. Dreams are fake; they're fabrications in each of our minds. And the same applies to any world. For all living beings in their own worlds, only their own world has meaning. Those unreachable other worlds are as ethereal as dreams, existing outside of our understanding."

"Simply Dream Entry is meaningless. Only by stepping out of one's own dream and entering a deeper level of fictional concepts, that is, the true Dream Realm, can one travel to other worlds. And those... even many world Overlord cannot do that."

At this point, Ye Qian stroked her chin and asked, "So you are a true god?"

Little Orange was both amused and exasperated. "How is that possible? I'm just an ordinary person and can't truly Dream Entry world. The reason I was able to enter the Main World is, as I said before, because its coordinates were exposed. In other words, it wasn't hidden in a concept, but manifested in a real state."

"I see..."
