A First Taste of the Dream and Plans for What Came Next

Salt's smile froze on his face instantly.

In just a moment, his back was covered in sweat, and his clothes were soaked.

"I'm sorry, Night King!"

Salt immediately bowed in alarm and apologized, "I was so presumptuous!"

Naito glanced at him, then calmly said, "Listen carefully, everyone in this country is my precious treasure. I love them deeply and want them all to live well, understand?"

"Yes!!"

Everyone except Luna lowered their heads in terror.

Like?

Hearing that word come from the Night King's mouth was truly chilling.

But Naito didn't see anything wrong with it.

There must be no one in this world who loved humanity more than him.

He hopes that everyone in the world can live a good life and enter the Dream World to enjoy a blissful existence.

Luna,

Naito looked at his right-hand men, "The rest is up to you."

"Yes."

Luna bowed her head in response.

It refers to pulling people into Dream World.

This is a huge undertaking. After all, the country has millions of people, and even Naito couldn't possibly pull everyone into the Dream World and grant them permissions all at once.

It will probably take at least a few months.

Naito doesn't have that much time to waste here.

Fortunately, Luna also has the ability to enter people's dreams.

Just leave it to her to do.

It was at this moment that Gaston, who had been in a deep sleep, suddenly awoke.

He stared at Naito in shock, "Lord World, what exactly is that—"

I can't understand what just happened.

He was transported to a bustling city in another world!

Two things,

Naito did not answer his question, but calmly ordered, "First, summon all your ministers and nobles."

"Secondly, we've secretly sealed off the country; I don't want any information to leak out."

Although the question remained unanswered, Gaston dared not question Naito's words.

He simply bowed his head respectfully.

"Yes!"

Chapter 45 First Dream Experience and Subsequent Plans

The back garden of the royal palace in the Dunas Kingdom.

The spacious garden, now bursting with blooming flowers, was packed with people, all dressed in fine clothes, chatting in small groups.

John was one of them.

He is forty-two years old and is the mayor of East Mountain Town in the Dunas Kingdom.

Although he was just a town mayor, in this small country with only five million people and just one city, he was already considered a mid-level bureaucrat, managing more than 20,000 people under his command.

Yesterday, John suddenly received a notice from his superiors to come to the palace, so early this morning, John came over with the town's deputy mayor, sheriff, treasurer, and tax collector.

The other people in the garden were similar to John and his companions; they were all mid-level bureaucrats in the country, holding powerful management positions.

So, what exactly is the purpose of this?

John was puzzled. What could be so important that all the middle-level managers had been summoned?

He asked other people, but they knew nothing about it either.

Just then, a well-dressed old man walked into the garden.

John and the other bureaucrats immediately adopted respectful expressions and greeted the old man, "Mr. Thomas!"

The visitor was the country's chief minister of state affairs, and the most powerful person in the country besides King Gaston.

Old man Thomas glanced around briefly, seemingly counting the number of people, then nodded slightly. "Almost everyone's here, so I won't waste any more words."

"I know you all have doubts, but I can tell you first, it's not a bad thing,"

A subtle smile appeared on the old man's face. "Or rather, quite the opposite, it's a good thing, a very good thing!"

Good thing?

John looked somewhat bewildered.

As we all know, when a leader says there's something good going on, it usually means they want you to contribute.

"Next, you will be taken to another world, but don't panic!"

Minister Thomas said, "Someone is over there to guide you; you just need to listen quietly!"

Another world?

John's mouth was slightly agape.

What happened?

Did Minister Thomas suffer from dementia?

What exactly is he saying?

Just then, Minister Thomas respectfully bowed towards the high terrace on one side of the garden and called out, "My lord, thank you for your trouble."

John instinctively looked up.

There are people on the terrace, but they can't be seen clearly because of the obstruction.

Consciousness was rapidly plunging into darkness.

John swayed and collapsed to the ground.

What's wrong?

"Um?"

John suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"What?"

John was utterly shocked the moment he saw his surroundings clearly.

It is the New World in the literal sense!

He arrived at a completely unfamiliar place, which appeared to be a wide square surrounded by tall buildings he had never seen before.

Around him, many of his colleagues arrived, and everyone was stunned into silence.

"What on earth is going on?! What happened?!"

"Where have we been taken? Is this still in China?"

"Is this the New World that Lord Thomas spoke of?"

John was no less shocked than his colleagues, but he remembered what Thomas had said: this was a good thing.

Mr. Thomas, isn't it unnecessary for you to lie to them?

"Quiet down."

Just then, a familiar voice descended from the sky.

John and everyone else instinctively looked up and saw the man standing in the sky.

Almost instinctively, everyone knelt down.

"Your Majesty!"

The man standing in the sky is none other than His Majesty Gaston, the hero-king of this nation!

So, when Mr. Thomas mentioned someone providing guidance, he was referring to His Majesty Gaston?

But how can His Majesty fly?

"Alright, get up, everyone."

The king's voice boomed down, "I'll get straight to the point."

John obediently stood up, then looked up and listened respectfully to His Majesty the King's speech.

"The name of this city is City of Dreams!"

John heard the king say, "It was the great Night King who took pity on our misery in the real world and created this Paradise for us!"

Everyone was stunned by that one short sentence.

City of Dreams?

Lord Night King?

The real world?

Paradise?

John felt only confusion.

"Don't worry about whether this world is real or fake. All you need to know is that you can get everything you want in this world!"

His Majesty the King's voice was impassioned, and his expression was one of boundless excitement, "Enjoy yourselves to the fullest, let loose, and revel in the dreamlike life that the Night King has bestowed upon you!"

"But before that, you need to get your tickets."

At that moment, clusters of light appeared before everyone.

John stared at the ball of light before him. What was that?

"Grab them."

The king's voice came, "Then accept it wholeheartedly."

Is this a dream life?

With this thought in mind, John's body, unable to disobey the king's command, instinctively reached out and grabbed the ball of light.

The ball of light merged into his body.

Something seems to have changed, but I can't feel anything at all.
