Chapter 1609: Chapter 1609
In the end, it was Scarred Glasses who fell asleep, with Young Master Mo responsible for protecting him.
Two other players were also with them.
After the initial half-hour, the three entered a deep sleep.
Beside them, Xu Huo tried calling Liao Xiaorong and the others once more, but still failed.
The waiting time was incredibly dull. After feeling full and satisfied, Tong Qi approached Young Master Mo, “What’s your relationship? This hired bodyguard is so dedicated, where did you hire him from? Can you introduce me?”
Young Master Mo never took off his glasses, but from his sideways glance, you could see his disdain for Tong Qi, not even bothering to speak to him.
Nearby, Chi Xian, who was playing with fungi, chuckled, “Some people from big families consider their bloodline to be noble, even breathing the same air as us makes them feel dirty. Why would he talk to you?”
Tong Qi was a very open-minded person. He didn’t care much about Young Master Mo’s attitude and went to chat with other players.
Most others didn’t want to deal with him, but Yi Jun still exchanged a few words with him.
“I’m not that lucky,” Tong Qi said, shaking his head. “I came here with friends, but only I ended up in this instance. I don’t even know if I can get out. Sigh, I guess I’ll take it one day at a time…”
Xu Huo, who had been leaning against a pillar, keeping a close eye on the sleeping people, suddenly stood up. He quickly walked over to Zhao Qing, lightly tapping her face, “Wake up!”
“Why is she crying?” Tong Qi asked curiously.
The others sleeping looked very peaceful, or at least had smiles like they were having sweet dreams.
Zhao Qing was woken up quickly, or maybe she was just about to wake up anyway.
An absent-minded pair of eyes stared at the person in front of her, and she opened her mouth to ask, “How long did I sleep?”
“Two hours and three minutes,” Xu Huo quickly replied, then asked, “What did you dream about?”
Zhao Qing quietly sat for a while before saying, “I dreamed of my boyfriend.”
“What specifically?” Mi Yaojia impatiently asked from the side, “Did you see the galaxy or anything similar?”
This was what others were concerned about; no one cared about Zhao Qing’s emotions at this moment.
She briefly recounted the contents of the dream: she dreamed that her boyfriend was still alive, and the two were living in a world without games, preparing for their wedding.
“Did you know he had passed away in the dream?” Xu Huo asked.
“I knew,” Zhao Qing said. “It’s probably because I knew that I woke up so quickly. No matter how sweet the illusion, it’s still an illusion.”
Xu Huo asked about some other details, such as the beginning and end of the dream, and whether there was anything special during the dream, like something from reality or entirely her imagination.
“It was like a usual dream. Some things and scenes felt familiar, some seemed similar as if I’d seen them before but couldn’t remember,” Zhao Qing recalled carefully, not noticing anything special or abrupt.
Xu Huo nodded slightly, “You can rest now.”
Based on her and Liao Xiaorong’s states, he initially thought Liao Xiaorong would begin dreaming sooner.
The second person to awaken was Scarred Glasses, who slept for five hours.
Like Tong Qi and the others last night, he had a good sleep without any other feelings.
Next were the other two players who fell asleep around the same time, experiencing the same.
After the seventh hour, Liao Xiaorong woke up. She paused and said, “I did dream, but it had no meaning, just remembering the time I bought ice cream as a child. I had just chosen the flavor when I woke up.”
