Ke Meng did not expect some players were gutsy to the point they would stare directly at him.
Did what the three male players experience at the Dog-headed People Mountain Village not warn them, or had they been unaware of that piece of news?
Ke Meng did not have to repeat the consequences of staring directly at an evil god. Losing one’s mind was the mildest consequence.
Even though Boss Ke did not enter the dream Himself, people with low mental strength would not be able to bear that.
Would you be scared and panicked if merely glancing at it would make you lose your mind?
Ke Meng was secretly mourning those players who had stared at him directly, hoping nothing too bad would happen to them.
A couple of minutes later, the sleeping pod’s alarm clock rang. It woke up a batch of players who were in a deep sleep.
The batch of players who had stared directly at the indescribable mist still had headaches and chaotic thoughts when they woke up.
The gaming pod came with a detecting mechanism. Although nobody had any idea why the gaming pod could not detect the irregular mental state in the player’s brain when they were dreaming, the irregular brainwave was extremely obvious when they woke up from their deep sleep. There was no way for anything to hide that.
Beep, beep, beep.
“Irregular activity found in the brainwave! The brain is suspected to be damaged!”
“The local hospital and institute have been informed!”
“The hospital’s air ambulance plane is estimated to arrive in 67 seconds!”
The standby robots in hospitals all over Orange Planet began moving. They were rescuing the citizens that required help.
The people in the institute were occupied due to this. They were apologizing to the public and promised to find out the main cause of the nightmare condition.
…
Ke Meng was sensing the dream world’s changes quietly. He focused mainly on the new setting that he was putting in.
It was a design temple. It was built in the middle of a massive lake, while the lake water surrounded the temple made of huge rocks.
There were many temples like that. There were so many that they covered most regions to ensure the players on land obtained the building ability at the fastest speed.
That was the specific way of realizing his idea. He wanted to give building abilities to the players so that they would build the dream world together.
Ke Meng took the sandbox video game Minecraft as his reference. All players who came to the design temple could use small cubes to build houses. They could build something that they desired.
Those buildings might have different styles. They might be a hardcore sci-fi style, or they could be bizarre. No matter what, Ke Meng was excited for the Orange Planet players’ imagination.
However, there was a secondary limitation to the ability. Boss Ke could demolish the things the players built as He wished.
Meanwhile, the players were prohibited from modifying the things Ke Meng built due to their insufficient authorization.
The things Ke Meng built were based on the nature of the rule-bending power coming from the skill Dream Distortion. He could not exceed the skill’s limitation.
It was to guarantee the players would not damage the land beneath their feet, the big whale, the sun, the blue ocean, and other original organisms.
Meanwhile, Ke Meng decreased the damage restriction for decorations such as jungles, ground, rocks, and so on for the players to damage.
At the same time of anticipating quietly, Ke Meng finally saw high-level players who had survived noticing the rock temple surrounded by lake water.
Two wolves that could speak ran on the plains. Since the scary thing in the sky vanished, the duo was planning to go back where they came from to inform what happened to players of their same kind.
“What’s that?” said the female wolf player, Gilly.
They saw the rock temple that did not exist before by the side of the lake after running less than a kilometer.
The rock temple was approximately six meters tall. It was completely white, and it was deep and dark in the massive archway. There seemed to be something in there.
There were mysterious symbols carved on the walls around the archway. They could not tell what kind of runes were those, but their brains understood what it meant.
It was a design temple. They would obtain the building ability as long as they believed in an almighty existence whose name was so long that one could not remember.
The almighty existence had an extremely long name, and none of the human players could remember that. However, they understood the purpose of the temple.
Fleygin shook his head. “I’ve no idea either.”
The brother and sister were players sleeping in a beast game. As they had beast bodies in the game, they remained in their beast bodies when they entered the dream.
The brother and sister were rather dumbstruck to be turning into beasts in the nightmare.
The rest were ordinary people when they entered the dream, but they were wolves. It was such a confusing start for them.
However, the bodily sensation coming from their beast bodies was very real. The sensation was even better than the beast VR game they were playing. They were exhilarated to be running for thousands of meters now.
“Let’s go, let’s go in.” The brother lifted his head high and moved toward the temple. He stopped by the lake.
“Will that be okay?”
“What’s there to be afraid of? We’ll be revived if we die.” The brother grinned, showing his big, white wolf teeth. He could not stop staring at the temple in greed.
This was the legendary opportunity. If they did not go in now, then when?
They could be revived if they died anyway. He had yet to experience how real it would be to die. Maybe it would be fun?
No matter how his sister advised him, she failed to stop her greedy brother.
The wolf brother stepped into the mud and then into the water in the lake with his bursting confidence.
Soon, the lake water drowned his legs and then his shoulders.
The wolf brother took a deep breath and held it. His entire wolf head was drowned in the water.
Gulp, gulp.
Bubbles floated to the lake surface, causing his sister howling in panic by the shore. She was worried that her idiotic brother would drown.
Five seconds later, the gray wolf’s head appeared out of the water. It ran back to the shore clumsily. Its body was drenched in water.
“Sh*t. I think we need to build a boat, or there’s no way to cross the lake.” Fleygin shook his body, splashing waterdrops away from his body.
Gilly glared deadly at him and barked, “Geez, Fleygin. I’ll slap your butt with my wolf claw if you dare to be reckless like that again!” She lifted her elegant wolf claw and mauled hard at the air.
At the same time, deep in the ocean where R’lyeh was, Boss Ke sensed the two non-human characters. He was rendered speechless.
They were speaking the human language earlier, and now they were talking like wolves. It was as awkward as translationese. He was amused.
