After entering the New Year Dreamscape, all Zhao Fu could see was a vast expanse of white, hazy and indistinct, with no way to tell what lay within.
Then his vision gradually cleared, and Zhao Fu found himself in a boundless white space, his body floating in midair. What surprised him even more was that he had turned into a small beast.
The little beast was roughly the size and shape of a kitten, though its appearance was somewhat different—rather like a qilin. It had a pair of large eyes and a fluffy body. Far from looking frightening, it was actually rather adorable.
Moreover, although every little beast looked similar, each bore a black mark on its forehead. This mark was actually one character from its name, warped and distorted beyond easy recognition, yet it served as a unique identifying mark that distinguished the different Year Beasts.
The black mark on Zhao Fu's forehead was a twisted "Fu" character.
Zhao Fu's body was still protected by a beam of white light. Many little beasts floated around him in the air as well, speaking all kinds of words amid a thoroughly noisy clamor.
Some little beasts were chasing round balls. Once they caught one, they swallowed it in a single bite, and their bodies would grow slightly larger.
Other little beasts chased other little beasts, attacking their targets' bottoms. The attacked beasts would release white bubbles, which the attacking beasts absorbed, their bodies growing slightly larger in turn.
Zhao Fu quickly received a prompt and understood what was happening. He had become a Year Beast, and the white light protecting him was newbie protection. Year Beasts that had just entered the New Year Dreamscape, as well as those revived after death, would receive this protection.
Those round objects were tangyuan. Tangyuan
