Chapter 3371: Working Together

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Looking at Wes’s solemn expression and listening to his deafening vows, Angel’s gaze gradually became profound.

"Having such awareness is very good." Angel: "But... you should take a nap first."

Wes: "Please trust me, I will definitely... huh?"

Wes was just halfway through his sentence when he heard Angel telling him to "sleep"? Did he hear it wrong?

Wes puzzledly raised his head, wanting to see Angel’s expression.

But before he could fix his gaze on Angel, a thin layer of gray mist covered his eyes, and in the next second, he fell into a sweet dream.

Click—

Wes fell on the Crystal Origin, eyes closed, his originally serious expression slowly relaxed, returning to his usual look.

Seeing this scene, the Rabbit Girl also understood that Wes must have fainted. And the instigator, without a doubt, was Angel.

Seeing the Rabbit Girl looking over, Angel didn’t deny it, shrugged, and said: "Just a small sleeping illusion technique."

The Rabbit Girl crouched down, extended her fair little hand, covering Wes’s forehead, and after a moment, she said: "Indeed, he has fallen asleep, um... why did you do this?"

She tilted her head, curiously looking at Angel: "He didn’t seem to say anything wrong, did he?"

Angel shrugged: "I don’t care whether he said something wrong or not, previously, we took him away in front of his father. If we go back without bringing Wes back, that would be our fault."

Wes definitely didn’t say anything wrong.

But from Angel’s perspective, whether you want to explore an instance or seek the Transcendent, it has to wait until we return.

The Rabbit Girl pondered for a moment, nodded: "You’re right, if we really leave Wes to stay here, there’d be no accounting for it with his father."

"However, from Wes’s previous descriptions, if he does go back, when his father learns there will be a Fairyland Duplication here, he probably won’t let him come back."

The Rabbit Girl showed a regretful expression, having felt the wish Wes expressed earlier and his courage to pursue his dreams. If Wes loses the chance to explore the instance because of this, she too would feel somewhat regretful.

Angel chuckled, while controlling the illusion, making Wes stand up in his "sleep" and follow them back to Rabbit Town; at the same time, he said to the Rabbit Girl: "If the danger level of ’Living Dead in the Mist Marsh Forest’ is extremely high, let alone Wes’s father, even I wouldn’t let Wes enter."

A certain level does certain things.

You can venture, you can explore, but you can’t go to die in vain.

And to risk surpassing one’s position and level, to explore an instance that is known to be impossible, is a "sending to death" act.

Therefore, Angel would not open such dangerous instances to ordinary people.

Rabbit Girl: "So, you also don’t want Wes to explore this instance?"

Angel shook his head: "Not at all, I am happy to see instances become actively explored."

"Nowadays, there are many types of Fairyland Instances, quite a few need someone to enter to manifest specific situations. Just like the Sunshine Circus before, who could have thought it’d be a whole area summoning type of instance?"

"So, I really hope someone explores the instance when it appears. This way, if there’s hidden information, I can use God’s View to read it ahead of time."

"But still, to explore an instance, at least one needs to have the ability to explore that particular instance. Overstepping exploration is inadvisable."

The Rabbit Girl thoughtfully nodded, glanced at Wes who was asleep after a long while: "However, from what you’re saying, Wes basically can’t explore the ’Mist Marsh Forest’ instance."

"Why not?" Angel raised an eyebrow: "As long as it’s confirmed that the instance here is a simple type, then he can come to explore, can’t he?"

Actually, Angel already had a provisional plan in mind.

Wes’s father himself is a geographic exploration personnel, stationed outside for long periods; so, just let him be stationed nearby here to help guard this misty area.

Once "Living Dead" appears, notify Angel immediately.

At that time, Angel will assess the difficulty of the ’Mist Marsh Forest’ instance. If the instance isn’t dangerous, he can tell Wes’s father and get him to agree to Wes’s exploration.

Despite Wes describing his father as very strict, actually, his father isn’t that extreme; truly extreme, his father probably wouldn’t even allow Wes into the Little Treasure Tower.

So, Angel is quite sure, if "Mist Marsh Forest" isn’t highly dangerous, Wes’s father likely wouldn’t stop Wes from entering.

After all, a father who truly loves his child, how could he ruthlessly extinguish the child’s dreams?

Wes’s father is just weighing things.

Trying to find a balance between Wes’s safety and dreams.

Of course, this "balance point" is also quite vague, residing in Wes’s father’s inner judgment. To tilt Wes’s father’s judgment towards the "dream" side, a push is needed.

And this "push" is Angel.

If others say in Wes’s father’s ear that the ’Mist Marsh Forest’ instance is simple, he certainly wouldn’t believe it; but Angel, as one of the creators of Rabbit Town, in today’s Crystal Origin of Dreams, is absolute authority.

If Angel confirms the safety of the ’Mist Marsh Forest’ instance, Wes’s father would probably believe him.

So, by then, the possibility of Wes’s father letting Wes explore the instance is extremely high.

After all the twists and turns, Wes might still have the chance to enter the instance.

And at that time, Wes is no longer sneaking in but openly entering, isn’t this far better than him taking unwarranted risks now?

The Rabbit Girl thought about it and also agreed with Angel’s viewpoint.

She also believes that Wes’s father won’t prevent Wes from going to explore an instance matched with his abilities.

"Then let’s go according to your method."

...

After a while, Angel and the others returned to Rabbit Town.

On the way to Rabbit Town, Angel saw not far away, Jasmine being led into the library by a newcomer.

There’s no need to guess; Jasmine intends to further understand the Crystal Origin of Dreams through the library’s literature.

This is quite good.

Angel originally created the library to provide the new residents living here with a way to pass the time, not expecting, by chance, it has become a popular science station for new logins.

It’s likely that when it opens later, there will be more people here.

Angel didn’t go to greet Jasmine, and Jasmine didn’t notice Angel who was not far away. They just passed by each other.

Soon, Angel brought Wes back to the fifth floor of Rabbit Mansion.

At this moment, Wes had been awakened from his slumber; his expression was somewhat dejected but he also had anticipation for the future.

Because Angel had already informed him of the situation.

Angel’s analysis also made Wes realize that he had been too reckless before.

Exploring an instance beyond his capabilities was likely courting disaster. The path of transcendence is a risky path but not a death route.

When Wes came to his senses, he was both grateful that Angel had awakened him in time and looking forward to the future.

He understood his father well.

His father indeed disciplined him strictly, but if the "Mist Marsh Forest" instance wasn’t too dangerous, his father would be willing to let go.

By then, with his father’s permission, he could explore the Fairyland Duplication without psychological burden, possibly increasing the success rate.

Sure enough, when Angel clarified the situation to Wes’s father,

Wes’s father agreed after contemplating for a moment, and soon began preparing luggage, intending to station in the mist for some time to keep watch over the "Living Dead" for Angel.

Although Angel had already set a marker in the mist, and when the Living Dead arrived, there would naturally be feedback, this feedback mechanism was ultimately rigid and would have certain delays; with Wes’s father’s help, the feedback efficiency would surely be faster than the rigid mechanism.

He only needed to place the marker on Wes’s father. Once Wes’s father observed the "Living Dead," he could immediately contact him through the marker.

Wes was quite touched by his father’s enthusiasm, initially wanted to follow his father to guard, but... his father refused his follow wholeheartedly.

"If you follow me, you might rush in before the adults’ judgment is made." Wes’s father had a look of "I’ve seen through your mind."

This made Wes feel both awkward and a bit embarrassed.

After handling matters here, Angel then left the mansion with the Rabbit Girl.

Rabbit Girl blinked her eyes: "You’re not planning to log off?"

Angel was online this time to handle the "Wraith in the Fog" matter, and now there was a temporary solution, logically Angel should log off.

But looking at Angel’s eyes full of interest, it didn’t seem like he intended to log off, so she asked.

"Are you planning to guide Jasmine? Or go to Mist Isle Dragon Tomb to check on Baba Ragon’s progress?"

Angel: "Over at Jasmine’s side, she trusts what she sees herself more than our explanations, so there’s no need to guide; let her handle it herself."

"As for Mist Isle Dragon Tomb..." Angel shook his head: "Forget it."

It’s not that he’s not interested in Baba Ragon, but... he can’t see it.

Mist Isle Dragon Tomb is peculiar, its challenge is directed at "statues," and the challenge process is in an unknown consciousness space. Angel can only see Baba Ragon standing in front of the statue; the specific challenge process is unseen.

Only when it succeeds in the challenge can one know from the hint given by the Immortal Realm what reward it obtained.

Going there would be futile.

Rabbit Girl curiously asked: "Then what are you planning to do?"

Angel didn’t hide his intentions, directly said: "I’m planning to go check the Uriel Dungeon."

"The Uriel Dungeon? Oh, going to see Luigi then." Her expression showed slight disdain, originally thinking if Angel’s upcoming plans were interesting, she would go along for fun. But regarding Luigi’s side, it’s really not that interesting.

"Then I’m not going with you, I’ll go play myself... Seems like there’s a leftover Eliminator nearby who’s building a nest, I might as well go clean it up."

Rabbit Girl didn’t wait for Angel’s reply and rushed off.

Seeing her appearance, she seemed afraid Angel would take her to the Uriel Dungeon.

Angel shook his head, didn’t mind, and logged off directly.

When he logged back on again, he had already arrived outside the Uriel Dungeon from Rabbit Town.

Looking from afar, the loft representing the Uriel Dungeon still held the same old and dilapidated look as before.

Yet in this declining loft lived a special NPC who could be "Dreamseen."

Angel came to the Uriel Dungeon for two reasons; first, to observe the "Dreamseen" NPC; second, to check on Luigi’s challenge situation and by the way, record "Uriel’s" demeanor.

If this time Luigi still doesn’t rank in the top three, he could only continue letting Broye and Guy analyze Uriel’s micro-expressions to make more profound judgments about his preferences.

However, Angel personally feels if Luigi still fails this time, analyzing micro-expressions might not be useful anymore.

Previously, Guy already organized Uriel’s musical preferences based on micro-expressions.

Uriel likes "exciting" tunes, but this "exciting" is not a single type of exciting, but comprehensive — dissatisfaction with religion, achieving goals amidst religious interference!

To put it simply: it needs to first suppress then exalt, contain various "pleasant" elements, and crucially, the core of the score must be rebellious against religion!

Uriel’s preferences have already been analyzed to this extent, wanting to analyze even deeper seems difficult to Angel.

Therefore, he focuses more on observing Uriel now.

Angel stepped beside the loft, gently stretched out his hand... At the moment of touch, Angel’s perspective sharply changed.

From looking straight to gazing down, the originally not small two-story loft also instantly shrank, like a miniature house placed within an independent Boxed Space.

Angel’s gaze passed through the Boxed Space, constantly descending, even passing through the loft’s roof, eventually reaching the loft’s bottom floor.

The setup here was just like before, not much different, everywhere were messy dirty clothes, damaged paper on the floor, and fallen wine bottles.

Previously, when Angel saw the setup here, he immediately overlooked it.

But now looking again, he has a thought: Uriel, in the "Dreamseen" state, actually has a certain degree of judgment ability. After all, he needs to judge Luigi’s performance. Without a certain judgment ability, how could he judge?

Since he has a certain judgment ability, he would naturally resist unfamiliar environments, even fear them.

Yet he currently has no resistance whatsoever and skillfully sits among the pile of dirty clothes... Does this mean the environment is very familiar to him?

Perhaps it’s even the environment he lives in real life?
