Liu Buli's sudden strong reaction left Lu Wuming somewhat bewildered.
However, since he asked, Lu Wuming nodded and replied earnestly, "Yes, but Master, you told me that doesn't count as writing a novel, it's just writing fanfiction. Because the worldview and other things aren't original to you; they were created by You Siqi."
Hearing this familiar name again, Lu Wuming had mentioned it many times during their previous conversations.
Liu Buli knew this person was a friend he had met in that world, and he also knew that, like him, that person had transmigrated from this world.
Beyond that, he hadn't proactively asked for more information, and Lu Wuming naturally hadn't volunteered it.
Now, this most crucial piece of information was suddenly revealed, and Liu Buli felt as if the last broken piece of a puzzle in his mind had finally found its place. Everything that had felt strange to him moments before was now answered in an instant.
For example, when he had just woken up, he had been constantly pondering how he spent his leisure time, but he had never arrived at an answer. Lu Wuming's response now was undoubtedly the best explanation.
Seemingly sensing Liu Buli's confusion, Lu Wuming thought for a moment and then proactively continued, "Master, you told me before that You Siqi was quite famous in your world. He was considered one of the top writers, often attended reader meet-and-greets, and his photos could be easily found online. That's why when you met him for the first time, you recognized him just by seeing his face."
The words Lu Wuming spoke were completely inconsistent with his own level of knowledge, as there were no search engines in ancient times.
Therefore, Liu Buli naturally understood that since he could say such things, it must have been Liu Buli himself who had told him this information.
Yet, the You Siqi, who was so famous in his words, now left Liu Buli racking his brain with no trace of him ever existing. Moreover, when he quickly searched on his phone, he couldn't find any information related to the other person.
After a moment of silence, Liu Buli suddenly burst into laughter.
His laughter was somewhat abrupt, startling Lu Wuming.
Looking nervously into Liu Buli's eyes, Lu Wuming hesitated for a moment, unable to decipher what was on his master's mind. So, he could only ask, "Master, did I say something funny just now?"
"Not at all. I just suddenly figured out something very important." Liu Buli said with a smile, "You told me before that I had offended the Heavenly Dao, and everything I'm experiencing now is a scheme laid out by the Heavenly Dao against me. Honestly, I've always been half-believing and half-doubting such claims, and even now, I haven't fully believed it. But after hearing what you just said, I suddenly understand. You were right; this is a setup by the Heavenly Dao. And it feared I would wake up from this dream, so it erased all memories related to you from my mind. But it didn't expect this action to be somewhat counterproductive, leaving many flaws in this otherwise seemingly complete world."
Just like now.
If Lu Wuming's words were taken as truth, he could suddenly piece together his past lifestyle.
Those leisure times he couldn't recall doing anything in now had the best possible explanation.
Liu Buli had always been a very intelligent person.
So, when all the evidence was laid out before him, he was willing to admit that the most unbelievable conclusion was the truth.
It seemed there was no need to dwell on any of it.
This was indeed just a dream, as Lu Wuming had said.
However, since it was a dream so closely resembling reality, Lu Wuming was right; at the very least, before leaving, he wanted to do some things that could only be done here, things that couldn't be done once he returned to the other world.
For instance, eating some of the exclusive technological foods from this world.
His mood relaxed to the extreme, Liu Buli tidied himself up a bit. Once the soreness and fatigue subsided, he took Lu Wuming's hand and they left the apartment together.
First, they went to a favorite shop downstairs and bought a large cake, then they took Lu Wuming to eat some Mala Tang.
While eating, Lu Wuming was constantly studying how to make the cake.
Liu Buli was right; their world indeed didn't have this. However, Lu Wuming could tell that his Master really enjoyed eating it.
Since that was the case, learning how to make it was the least a qualified partner should do.
Lu Wuming had always accurately defined his role.
There wasn't much he could give Liu Buli, so at least he should be able to ensure that Liu Buli could eat whatever he liked whenever he desired.
Watching Lu Wuming so serious and focused on the tutorial, Liu Buli couldn't help but find it amusing. He reached out and gently ruffled the other's hair, saying with a hint of regret, "Don't bother. Your world doesn't have ovens, and the most crucial component is missing. No matter how you try, the cake won't turn out well."
Lu Wuming's eyebrows shot up.
His Master truly underestimated him.
At least so far, aside from that damned transformation, there was nothing his Master liked that he couldn't achieve.
Looking down at the video explaining the principle of the oven that Liu Buli had found for him, Lu Wuming pondered for a moment before revealing a confident smile.
He said, "This is actually quite easy. It doesn't require any special equipment; I can do it with spiritual energy. Master, just you wait and see."
