Chapter 28: God Enters the Dream

Chapter 28: God Enters the Dream
I was so absorbed in listening to the story that I noticed Xiao Jie suddenly stopped talking, so I hurriedly asked, "What's next?"

"The next part is about Hua Tuo performing a craniotomy on Cao Cao. It has nothing to do with the Pear Tree God. The Pear Tree God only appears for a brief moment."

I suddenly felt unhappy about becoming an immortal. Why did Luo Guanzhong just keep digging holes and not filling them?

He thought for a moment, "So you mean this ginkgo tree is also related to the tree god?"

"It's hard to say, but when I saw the Ginkgo tree bleeding just now, the first thing that came to my mind was this story. Moreover, this village is called Ginkgo Village, and this valley is called Ginkgo Valley. There may be a connection between them. It is likely related to this tree. You are lucky, and this adventure may unearth a big secret."

"Then what do we do next?"

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, "It's very simple. We just need to follow the method in the book. Go to sleep and see if there are any gods in your dreams. If there are, we will act accordingly. If not, we will just chop down the tree."

"Ah! Sleep?"

I Want to Become an Immortal really couldn't keep up with Xiao Jie's divergent thinking. It was too wild. But seeing Xiao Jie walking down the mountain, as if he was serious about it, I had no choice but to follow him down the mountain.

"Wait, Brother Suifeng, what if the god who entered our dream draws his sword and kills us?"

"Not really, not really. We didn't cut down his tree on purpose. Besides, this kind of encounter in the game usually gives players the opportunity to choose a dialogue. It's impossible to end up in a dead end. As long as you don't do anything stupid during the dialogue, you'll be fine.

If a god really comes into my dream, he will most likely give me a mission or something like that. You should be more respectful when speaking to him. Just take on whatever mission he gives you. As long as you handle it well, there shouldn't be any danger."

Xiao Jie's ten years as a professional gamer were not in vain. He played a large number of online and stand-alone games and almost knew the plot routines of each game by heart.

Although it was just a guess, he had a feeling that something would probably happen during this sleep.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived in the village and headed straight for the village hotel.

This is a very small hotel with only two rooms, front and back. Alcohol is sold outside, and there are two guest rooms with double doors inside.

Xiao Jie spent 10 cents to book a room. The two entered the guest room, which contained two simple beds.

Rays of light shine in from the wooden windows, shining on the dirt ground, making it look quite old and full of atmosphere.

I Want to Become an Immortal asked nervously what to do next. Seeing his panic, Xiao Jie said, "How about this, I'll go into the dream first to see what the process is, and you watch from the side, so that we can be prepared in case of danger.

If there is no danger, I will tell you the process when I wake up and you can just follow it. "

I Yuchengxian refused without hesitation after hearing this: "No, how can we let Brother Suifeng take risks alone? I found this tree, so let's sleep together. We will share the joys and sorrows together!"

Xiao Jie thought that this boy was quite responsible, but he didn't think there would be any risks, so he said, "Okay, let's do it together. Remember, if a god really comes into your dream, you must be polite."

"Don't worry, Brother Suifeng."

The two of them each found a bed and lay down on it, using the sleeping function in the character actions.

After a while, a string of ZZZZ symbols appeared above their heads.

"Eh, no response." I said to Yuchengxian.

Although the two characters have fallen asleep, they can still communicate with each other, but they speak in the form of sleep talking, so the sound seems a little vague, as if there is a layer between them.

"Let's talk about it later. It takes some time to dream, right?"

After Xiao Jie finished speaking, I want to become an immortal said something else, but this time the voice was completely inaudible. Xiao Jie wanted to ask again, but suddenly, he felt that the light around him became dim.

Xiao Jie immediately realized that the scene was about to change.

It was getting darker and darker, and the surroundings gradually became pitch black. Only his own character was lying in the darkness, motionless. Soon even the bed beneath him disappeared, and he seemed to be falling in the darkness.

Oh, I was actually dreaming?
Xiao Jie was a little nervous, but there was nothing he could do, after all, it was a game that depended on his life.

At this time, the sound of my desire to become an immortal could no longer be heard, and there was silence in the headphones.

Suddenly, a pleasant music sounded, and then a ray of light appeared in the darkness. A fairy with fluttering sleeves slowly floated down from the sky, and her figure gradually emerged in the darkness. The fairy was wearing a golden dress, which seemed to be made of stacked ginkgo leaves. It looked natural and beautiful.

She has beautiful eyebrows, pretty face and a fairy-like air.

Hey, there really is a tree spirit? And it's a female.

Xiao Jie was surprised. The woman was extremely beautiful and dressed gorgeously, but her face showed a sad look.

Xiao Jie pressed the move key and found that his character could move, so he stood up and walked to the fairy.

The fairy looked at Xiao Jie coldly, and suddenly said in a stern voice, "You bastard, I have no grudge against you, why are you killing me with a knife?"

Xiao Jie quickly pretended to be stupid, "Ah, who are you? I don't know you." "I am the ginkgo tree you hurt during the day."

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn't know it was you. I thought it was just an ordinary tree. But I stopped after the tree started bleeding. I guess I didn't hurt you too much. Are you a monster or a god? Why did you come into my dream?"

He started with three innocent moves, turning passivity into initiative. After all, he was just a small account, and he must not get into a bad relationship with such a mysterious existence, but he couldn't be too timid, otherwise he would be easily controlled.

The beautiful lady was a little stunned by Xiao Jie's words, and it seemed that she was not used to such a direct conversation.

But she quickly adjusted her state, with a look of resentment on her beautiful face, "Brave man, please listen to me carefully. To be honest, I was originally a fairy from heaven. Five hundred years ago, I lived in seclusion in this valley to practice. I didn't expect that a demon used magic to seal me in a ginkgo tree, draining my spiritual power. I suffered torture. It has been five hundred years to this day.

Now I just hope someone can help me escape from the sea of ​​suffering. I see that you are quite brave and courageous. I wonder if you are willing to help me escape. As long as you can help me escape and gain freedom, I will reward you generously. Magic pills, secret talismans, magic weapons, and immortal tools are all common. "

"What if I want to become an immortal?"

The beautiful woman said without hesitation, "Since you are determined to cultivate immortality and seek the Tao, I will naturally lend you a helping hand. If you can help me escape from this predicament, I will guide you into the Tao, and it will not be difficult for you to become an immortal."

"I don't know what I should do. Should I just cut down the ginkgo tree that was there during the day?"

“No, no, no. For the past five hundred years, I have put in a lot of effort and finally extended the roots of my body to the outside of the village. A new tree has grown out of it, which is the one you injured during the day. This new tree was transformed by my magic in order to seek help from the outside world. It must not be damaged.

The ginkgo tree where I was actually trapped was right next to the ancestral hall of this Ginkgo Village. It was the largest ginkgo tree, and my real body was trapped inside the tree.

If you want to help me escape, you only need to wait until midnight, when no one is around, and destroy all the spells around the ginkgo tree. Then I can escape, is that possible?"

System prompt: Trigger the adventure event [Ginkgo Fairy’s Request for Help].

Mission description: You encounter a strange woman who calls herself a fairy in your dream. She asks you to help her escape the bondage of the spell and gain freedom, and promises to give you great benefits after the success.

Mission objective: Destroy the ginkgo tree's protective magic circle.

Mission reward: ????

Xiao Jie thought to himself, I have indeed met a scammer.

The reason why he asked if he could become an immortal was to test the other party. If the fairy said that becoming an immortal was too difficult and offered other rewards, then this might be true. But now that she easily promised such an outrageous thing as becoming an immortal, she was definitely a liar.

You have to know that according to the game's opening CG, this is a world where 'the gods have fallen and the immortals have gone into seclusion'.

Even if this game really has an opportunity to become an immortal, that is something that will happen in the later stages of the game and it is absolutely impossible to put it in the Novice Village.

The key is that the task reward is a string of???, which is obviously a scam.

But he remained calm. He was still in a dream. It would be bad if he angered the beautiful woman and she really attacked him with a sword.

I don't know if there will be any danger, so it's better to just pretend to be nice for now.

He immediately agreed and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it."

After saying that, Xiao Jie directly chose to accept the task.

Seeing Xiao Jie's answer so straightforward, the beautiful woman was also very happy, and immediately bowed and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, you warrior. I'll take my leave now. I hope you can handle this matter well. After the matter is completed, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

As the Ginkgo Fairy disappeared, the darkness around her gradually dissipated.

My character is still lying in bed, as if he had just woken up from sleep.

Looking at the scene in the guest room, Xiao Jie couldn't help but marvel at the design of this game. It was really amazing! He could actually accept tasks in his dreams.

At this time, my desire to become an immortal also woke up.

"Oh my god, Brother Suifeng, you really got it right. There really is a god. She asked me to help her out of trouble. If I can help her out of trouble, she will help me revive my brother."

"It's fake." Xiao Jie said unhappily.

"Huh? Fake?"

"That's right. She told me about becoming an immortal, and told you about resurrecting your elder brother. It's obvious that she's treating you differently. Besides, we're in the Novice Village, man. What kind of game would put rewards like becoming an immortal in the Novice Village?"

In addition, there will definitely be a clear system prompt for general task rewards, and you will be told exactly what the task reward is.

Although this Ginkgo Fairy has triggered the mission, the mission reward is? ? ? ? She just made a big promise without any real intention, which is obviously fake.

I think, if we are lucky, she can get rid of us with a few tricks, but if we are unlucky, saving her might bring disaster upon us."
