"In the Star Spirit World, there is a group of people known as the ’Dream Travelers’ who can do what she described..." Vivian suddenly shared with him.
Mu You was taken aback, he had heard that name before.
Currently, in the tasks of the Elf Horn, the Forest Elf’s task is connected to this.
The mission is called ’Utopia’s Change’, in which the mentioned Utopia is a beautiful and pure dreamland. Only those in a dream have the chance to enter there. There’s also a group of people known as ’Dream Travelers’. According to the task description, the Dream Travelers can normally enter Utopia and act freely within their dreams.
"Are you saying that the world connected by the various bag spaces is the so-called ’Utopia’?" Mu You looked at Vivian and asked.
Vivian nodded, seeming fairly knowledgeable about it: "The guardian of Utopia, or rather its manager, gains survival resources by renting out the land of Utopia to living beings. The rented land is segmented out of Utopia like cutting tofu, transformed from a dreamland into a real space, and then made into various bag-like tools by living beings."
"And this manager will also select some people from amongst the living beings to act as its messengers, called ’Dream Travelers’. These people will get part of the manager’s ability, and they can enter Utopia and move around freely. Some high-level Dream Travelers can also switch their status between dreams and reality within the dreamland. This allows them to freely enter and exit the bag spaces that have been rented out."
Mu You nodded his head. If the little girl was seen as a Dream Traveler, all of her displayed abilities could be explained.
However, what Mu You found strange was that this little girl was a native earthling and at such a young age hadn’t qualified for game participation. According to the feedback from the Omniscient Crystal, she indeed was not a player.
The question arose: how did an ordinary child come to possess these special abilities that are unique to the Star Spirit World?
"What is your name?" Mu You asked the girl.
"I’m called... my name is Ye Rumeng!" The little girl swallowed what was in her mouth before clearly stating her name.
"Ye Rumeng? Are you from the Celestial Dynasty?"
"My father comes from the Celestial Dynasty...also, my nickname is Meng Meng, and my sister’s is Mian Mian." The girl seemed to relax quite a bit after eating, and she started talking more.
"When did you first realize you had this ability?" Mu You looked at the girl and asked.
"When?" The girl turned to look at Mu You and immediately answered, "I’ve always had it..."
"Always...so you’re saying you’ve had this ability since birth?"
The questioning ended there; children’s minds have a way of jumping around quickly, and asking anything too profound would be beyond her capability to explain.
After she finished eating, Mu You took her upstairs.
"I’ll get your place ready. You should rest here for tonight."
Mu You led her into his bedroom. As there were no guest rooms prepared in the shop, he had no choice but to let her make do in his room for the night.
"Thank you, Uncle!" The little girl bowed politely to him in her crisp voice.
"...My name is Mu You; you should call me by my name from now on."
After settling the little girl, Mu You returned to the core lock space. He prepared some building materials next to the entrance’s log cabin and arranged for eight construction bots from the Goblin side and one engineering bot to work overnight to build a room for the girl to live in.
The girl cannot appear in public, so she’ll have to stay in the space during the day.
Several bots immediately started working, their humming and rumbling sounds echoing inside the space.
Meanwhile, Mu You couldn’t rest either. He returned to the study to make cards. Tomorrow is the day of this week’s secret technique meeting, and he needed to hurry to make the two new magic cards.
He kept making cards until five or six in the morning, when he finally completed the ’Electric Arc Sword’.
The Electric Arc Sword, transformed into black magic, still kept its original name and effect - adding an electric arc edge to any weapon. However, the electric arc of black magic could be lengthened at will, with the maximum length reaching forty meters!
In simple terms, it could turn a normally short and neat weapon into a ’forty-meter long broadsword’ that was sharp as a razor. It was very useful for cutting up large creatures or buildings.
However, this secret technique had one restriction: the longer the electric arc, the greater the resistance would be, making the weapon slower to wield.
Then, Mu You kept making cards for a little while until he made ’Spike Serpent Guard’ into a card. He then made several copies of the three new cards for this week.
When he finished this, it was already seven o’clock in the morning.
"Strange, they are not up yet..."
As Mu You heard noises from outside, he knew Little Ya and Lin Xue had arrived. Just as he was about to go out and check, he heard Little Ya’s screams.
"Bad news, Sister Xue, the boss has turned into a little Lolita!"
Speechless, Mu You came out of the study and saw the two of them gathered outside his bedroom door, looking inside with shock and hesitation, yet none of them dared to step inside.
