Was Stelle Taken Away by a Meme from the Memory Zone? [Second Update]

Exist

Sitting on the floor of his room, Ji Yuan looked surprised and doubtful.

Being in a dream? Isn't the Robin in reality? How could she be in a dream?

Ji Yuan clenched his fist and punched himself hard.

Yeah, it hurts a lot.

Then the system's voice appeared in his mind again.

[You have assaulted a corpse that was dreaming and was slain by the Star God. The system rewards you with +1 autopsy experience.]

Can corpses dream?

Seeing the achievement displayed by the system, Ji Yuan almost laughed. But the information behind it left him feeling extremely shocked.

Am I always in a dream?

Is this so-called Penacony reality also a dream?

What is real and what is fake? What can I do about it?

Ji Yuan thought to himself, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. Of course, he quickly broke through that hesitation.

If I'm the only one dreaming, then no matter how I interact with the Robin or anyone else, I won't achieve anything. Therefore, my encounter with the Robin and the others must be real.

But at some unknown time, Ji Yuan fell into a dream and was influenced by someone. Ji Yuan thought that this operation probably wouldn't last long, and that the hidden mastermind behind it all Penacony, was probably planning to create a dream for Penacony at the most crucial moment to achieve his goal.

No, he had to find a way to break the deadlock.

First and foremost, he needs to be clear about what he is capable of doing.

With that thought in mind, Ji Yuan took out his phone and dialed the number of his teacher, Ruan Mei.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, it wasn't Ruan Mei's gentle voice that came through, but Herta's impatient voice.

"Miss Herta, could you please ask my teacher, Ruan Mei, to come over?"

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and then spoke to the Herta.

Herta replied, "She's currently engrossed in biological experiments and probably can't get away for the time being. Tell me, what's wrong, and can I help you solve it?"

"This..."

Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment.

"What's wrong? Just say it. If I can help, just say so."

"Miss Herta, you can indeed help me." Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying to Herta, "I want to hear you confess your feelings to me, Miss Herta."

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Herta exclaimed in shock:

"What?! What did you say?! Have you gone crazy because you haven't satisfied your physiological needs these past few days? Wait a minute, didn't you go with that Emanator of Abundance named Firefly? You wouldn't call me or your teacher specifically to confess your feelings to relieve this, would you?"

"Of course not. I just need to prove something, so I hope Miss Herta can confess to me. Of course, if you feel shy, you can go and ask my teacher to come over."

"It would be shameful for me to go to her about something so trivial," Herta said dismissively.

Then, she opened the contact information, revealing Herta's true form, which was much more mature than its doll-like body.

"It's just a confession, isn't it?" Herta shouted, his voice slightly hurried.

She took a deep breath and said loudly:

"Ji Yuan, I love you, I like you very much, and I hope to stay with you forever and do research with you. Hmm, it would be best if we could have a few more children."

After saying this, she looked at Ji Yuan with a somewhat hurried tone.

"Is everything alright now? What do you want to do next?"

"I can't really say anything about this. In short, it's very important to my current situation..."

Ji Yuan didn't know if he was being spied on while in his dream, so he wouldn't reveal his abilities or guesses.

He made Herta confess his feelings because he wanted to know if he was still able to send messages to the outside world.

Now we just have to wait for the results to appear.

As he thought this, the system's settlement and achievement notification sounded in his mind.

[You have been confessed to by Herta, a member of the Genius Society and the controller of Herta Space Station. As a special reward from the system, you have received one thousand copies of Herta's manuscripts.]

Ji Yuan was naturally familiar with the Herta manuscript.

This almost means that he has a thorough understanding of the Herta Space Station a century from now.

Yes, that was a good haul.

But that wasn't the biggest surprise. He was very concerned about whether he could get the information out of Penacony. Now, looking at the achievements that had appeared, Ji Yuan knew he had guessed correctly.

He can convey his situation to others, and his behavior in the dream is the same in reality.

His message was completely relayed to the Herta.

Herta and his teacher are still on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel. Even if the troublemakers in Penacony are bold, they can't affect the Xianzhou.

"So the current situation can be considered as if you are in reality." The things Ji Yuan did in the dream were the same actions and things in reality.

It's estimated that the illusion and reality are different; we'll only know for sure when they activate it.

"Now that I know I'm in a dream, I need to be careful," Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Ruan Mei appeared beside Herta and teased Ji Yuan through the communication device, "Ji Yuan, although Herta has confessed to you, it will be quite difficult for you to actually have a relationship with her."

"Teacher, please stop talking."

Ji Yuan was a little embarrassed.

"I think it's quite interesting," Ruan Mei said with a smile to Ji Yuan. "We'll be arriving in Penacony in a day or two. I wonder what interesting things you have there?"

"Perfect timing, I have some biological experiments that I'd like to explore as a new research direction with you."

Ji Yuan immediately said.

"What new creature?"

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Ruan Mei asked impatiently.

She could hear the certainty in Ji Yuan's words. It seemed to be telling her that the new creature Ji Yuan had developed was at least as valuable as Emanator- level being.

Its strength may be inferior, but its value is definitely no less.

"This is a conjecture about imaginary organisms. I will tell you about it when you arrive, teacher."

Ji Yuan said to Ruan Mei.

He didn't know what the dream was about, or how he would get rid of it after the teacher arrived; he had to explore everything on his own.

If you can't get rid of it, that would be a real problem.

"Wait for me to come over."

Nguyen Mai is very interested in Ji Yuan's ideas and looks forward to her making new breakthroughs in the field of biology.

"Don't worry, come over. I believe you'll be interested in this. Hmm. I'll send you some of my hypothetical papers tonight."

I'll use some encryption methods in my thesis to inform my professor about this situation.

Ji Yuan wasn't afraid that what he wrote in his dreams would differ from what his body wrote in reality. The guy who had dragged him into his dreams might dare to tamper with other things, but he couldn't tamper with his thesis unless his level of life sciences was comparable to mine and my teacher's.

If the other party truly possesses this level of skill, then Ji Yuan will be completely convinced.

"Okay, I'll give you a reward then." Ruan Mei nodded gently.

"Teacher, what's the reward?"

Ji Yuan asked curiously.

What do you think of the Herta?

"I don't think it's very good?" Herta said with a dark face.

You treated me like a gift, and then you said to my face, "How come your morals are lower than mine?"

As she spoke, a slight smile appeared on her lips as she recalled her confession to Ji Yuan earlier.

She disdains lying.

It's not impossible to give it to him.

However, his talent must satisfy himself.

Ruan Mei cares about life sciences, while she herself looks to Ji Yuan's comprehensive abilities and his breakthroughs in imaginary numbers.

"Keep trying, Ji Yuan."

She then hung up the call.

Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after finishing his task.

If Herta comes, then we'll have Herta, Firefly, and Yomikawa —three Emanator- level beings—on our side. Aventurine and Topaz are also here, adding up to two weak Emanator- level combatants.

If we disregard the fact that the opponent acted first and planned ahead, our side should have the advantage in terms of combat strength.

With that thought in mind, I then entered the Dream Pool.

It's a world of dreams within dreams; you should experience it for yourself.

The Golden Hour has arrived once again, and Ji Yuan waits at the agreed-upon location.

Soon, Yomikawa was the first to appear as promised. In fact, she didn't need to say anything to her teacher like Ji Yuan did. She arrived at this Golden Hour after Ji Yuan and the Robin left, and rushed over after seeing Ji Yuan appear.

Upon seeing Yomikawa, Ji Yuan asked her, "You've come? Did you change your clothes again? You look really beautiful."

Yomikawa, now dressed in shorts and a cropped t-shirt, with a jacket draped over her shoulders, looked quite casual and chic. If you gave her a motorcycle, she'd look like one of those race queens.

"Um."

Huang Dian nodded slightly, then stood beside him, holding the long sword.

However, he asked Ji Yuan with some doubt, "You arrived later than I expected. I wonder what happened?"

"I need to go see my teacher to discuss some things, so I'll be a little late."

"Um."

The two stood there waiting, and soon the Robin appeared in the dream world.

"Finally, I've arrived in this world..."

The Robin's voice became even hoarser. Of course, unless one was someone with exceptionally keen senses like Ji Yuan, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to detect the difference.

She looked at Ji Yuan, and then saw Yomikawa standing beside him.

The Robin's eyes lit up with surprise.

"Miss Yomikawa, we meet again!"

She said to Yomikawa with great joy.

Yomikawa nodded slightly. "I told you I would come to Penacony. Also, aren't my clothes pretty?"

"Uh-huh."

The Robin nodded repeatedly.

Robin was delighted by Yomikawa's arrival. After all, if Yomikawa hadn't appeared, Ji Yuan's battle with the Grand Duke Infernal Blaze would have been very dangerous since Grand Duke Infernal Blaze kidnapped her last time.

"Perfect timing, I was just about to come find you. If I hadn't found you, I wouldn't know how to thank you properly."

"I was just passing by. Besides, what's the point of killing Grand Duke Infernal Blaze?"

Yomikawa waved his hand and said to the Robin.

"But..." the Robin wanted to say something, but Ji Yuan patted the Robin on the shoulder.

"Alright, the matter of Yomikawa coming here has been mostly resolved. All that's left is for her to enjoy herself in Penacony. You take her shopping as a way of repaying her kindness."

Yomikawa came here to find the Clockmaker's Legacy and deliver the things entrusted to her by others. But now that she's in a dream, she can't reveal these things.
