Black Book

Chapter 34 Lost
Ye Wanning did not notice his gaze and continued to enthusiastically pick up food for the two of them.

"Xiao Shui, this beef tenderloin is so delicious~"

"Cang Cang, your favorite twice-cooked pork."

After the meal, Zhu Haomiao felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and the day was like a year.

What was even more terrifying was that the more he looked at Li Cang, the more he felt that his senior sister's boyfriend was still charming and very delicious...

But when he thought that he was a man, Zhu Haomiao felt a chill from the bottom of his heart and felt uncomfortable all over, with goose bumps standing up.

No!

My Tao heart is unstable, so I cannot stay here for long!

With a turn of his eyes, Zhu Haomiao quickly thought of a reasonable excuse.

"Senior sister, there is something I want to tell you."

"what's up?"

"I'm going to participate in the [U18 Ascension Tournament] soon. I don't think I'll have much time to do research with you in the future..."

"Hmm?! You got recommended? And passed?"

"Correct."

"Hiss! Who could force you in right before the registration deadline? What a clever guy!"

Ye Wanning took a breath of cold air.

Only by truly understanding the huge and complex interests involved behind the [Ascension Competition] can one understand how terrifying power this seemingly understated move actually reveals.

"Ah? Is it difficult?"

Zhu Haomiao frowned in confusion and looked at Ye Wanning in puzzlement.

I just mentioned it to Teacher Su'e, and I felt that the reasons she gave for the recommendation were all random.

I want to be a good person, very quickly!
It is really outrageous that this reason can be passed!
However, Ye Wanning stared at Zhu Haomiao with a complicated look. After a long silence, she looked at Li Cang uncomfortably.

"Damn it, let him pretend!"

Li Cang curled the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and a hint of gloating flashed in his cold eyes.

"So you understand how others feel when they see you being Versailles?"

"........."

Ye Wanning pursed her lips, took two sips of milk tea, and then handed it to Zhu Haomiao with a disgusted look on her face.

Seeing the young man skillfully take Ye Wanning's milk tea and finish it in two sips, and remembering Ye Wanning's previous introduction of his extraordinary powers, Li Cang looked thoughtfully at the half remaining bottle of Sijichun in his hand and handed it over tentatively.

"Can you still drink?"

Looking at Li Cang's sincere and clear eyes, Zhu Haomiao looked constipated and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Men can’t say no!
But am I your family's trash can?
What the hell are you dumping on me?!

Noticing Zhu Haomiao's hesitation, Ye Wanning hurriedly explained.

"Cang Cang's family rules are very strict. He is not allowed to waste a grain of food. When eating with him, you have to finish all the food and drink on the table."

“I have developed a similar habit now.”

Hearing this, Li Cang calmly shook his head.

"It's not a family motto. My grandfather was an old Eighth Route Army soldier. When he was crossing the snowy mountains and grasslands, his comrades saved their food to save him, but they themselves starved to death. So he taught me since I was a child to cherish food, because it might be just a handful of fried rice, but behind it represents a life."

Listening to Li Cang's calm narration, Zhu Haomiao inexplicably felt a sense of guilt. He felt that the Sijichun in his hand was a little heavy. He was about to throw it away but couldn't do it no matter what.

Damn it! This is not the reason why I should be a trash can!

Why don't you drink it yourself? Do you two think my stomach is a bottomless pit?

Just throw everything you can’t finish eating or drinking to me?

Horse riding!
You guys are really good at judging people!

However, in his previous life, he didn't think anything of grabbing a bottle of drink with his brothers after playing ball, but at this moment, Zhu Haomiao always felt very awkward.

It might be because Li Cang was too handsome, and was completely different from those rebellious sons with strange looks in his previous life.

But after struggling for a while, Zhu Haomiao suddenly realized that caring about this matter itself meant that he could not look at Li Cang's performance with a normal mind.

correct!

Keep calm, keep calm!
Just treat him as those rebellious sons in your previous life!

After realizing this, Zhu Haomiao calmly finished the rest of the Sijichun and brought the topic back on track.

"Senior Sister, regarding the Ascension Competition..."

"It doesn't matter. At your age, the Dao Heart is basically one day on and one day off. We can just make an appointment when you come back for your vacation."

Before she could finish her words, Ye Wanning waved her hand and showed no concern.

"Huh? One on, one off?"

Are the benefits in this fantasy realm so good?

Pooh!
wrong!

Li Cang couldn't bear to watch Zhu Haomiao's shocked look, so he explained helplessly.

"The strength of your Dao Heart determines how long you can stay in the Illusory Realm at one time. Normally, in the initial stage of the Heavenly Realm, textbooks recommend 'one rest, one rest'. That is, the longer you stay in the Illusory Realm, the longer you should rest in the real world, in order to consolidate your self-awareness and your Existence Anchor."

“If you are forced to stay in the initial heaven level, at the very least, you will lose consciousness or become schizophrenic, and at the worst, your [Dao Heart] will be damaged. Those in the middle and high heaven levels may even [get lost]…”

"Existential anchor? Lost?"

There were many professional terms that he had never heard of before. Zhu Haomiao made two "aba-aba" sounds and felt like a mentally retarded person.

Li Cang and Ye Wanning looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

Who on earth recommended this illiterate man to go to the Fantasy Realm?
At least finish the basic general education courses...

Helpless, Li Cang could only continue to explain.

"The speed of time in the fantasy realm is different from that in reality. It is several times or even dozens of times faster for the initial heavenly realm, and hundreds of times or even thousands of times faster for the middle and high heavenly realms!"

"As the saying goes, one day in heaven equals one year on earth. The life you spend in the fantasy realm is much longer than the life you spend in reality. If your self-awareness is not firm enough, you may gradually forget everything in reality and completely melt into the native creatures of the fantasy realm, never to be able to return."

"We call this situation [Lost]."

"And in order to prevent yourself from getting lost, you need to return to the real world regularly, cross the barrier between illusion and reality, make yourself clear-headed, constantly solidify your self-awareness, and form an "existence anchor" based on the concept of mysticism. This way, you can dive into a deeper level of illusion, which is a higher level of heaven..."

"Otherwise, the risk of getting lost will increase exponentially with each level of advancement."

Listening to Li Cang's explanation, Zhu Haomiao nodded in confusion, always feeling that the concepts he talked about were a bit abstract.

Seeing that Zhu Haomiao seemed to understand but not quite, Ye Wanning waved her hand to interrupt Li Cang.

"You have never been to the Fantasy Realm, so it's normal that you can't understand it. You will understand it naturally in the future. Now just remember to send me a message when you come back for vacation, and I will coordinate the time then."

After talking for a long time, Zhu Haomiao nodded with a bitter face as he still couldn't escape Ye Wanning's clutches.

Why are you risking your life for 30,000 yuan?
And you drag your boyfriend along to fight with you?

Do you know that when the original sin [Sese] goes crazy, even cats will not be spared!
If [Sese] loses control and becomes beastly, you will be in big trouble!
Frowning in pain, Zhu Haomiao began to think seriously about how to avoid that disgraceful situation.
