Chapter 166 Dream

Bai Xiaoya was stunned by the words.

After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "...Besides being a fool, I also want to...become stronger!"

The bone spear she brought back was carefully preserved and placed in the corner of the room. Her desire to become stronger wasn't just empty talk.

"Become stronger? You're already so amazing, and you still want to become even more amazing? Leave a way out for the other girls, hahaha!" Sister Yuan laughed heartily, but Fang Yue understood what Bai Xiaoya meant.

"What about you, Sister Yuan? What's your dream?"

"Me? I want to eat delicious food every day, hang out with friends every day, never work overtime, and always have weekends off!"

Fang Yue couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It seemed that Sister Yuan was tormented by the 996 work schedule. Just as he was wondering if he should take this opportunity to help her get rich, Sister Yuan suddenly said, "Also...also, I have another dream, which is to have a big house, facing the sea with spring flowers blooming. And then have all my friends live in it, living together forever!"

Sister Yuan's words made Fang Yue and Bai Xiaoya silent. Compared to them, Sister Yuan's wish was simple and unadorned, yet it warmed people's hearts!

"What about you? What's your ideal?" Bai Xiaoya asked at this time.

"Me? I used to want to make a lot of money by playing games, but now... I want to become stronger, strong enough to protect everything around me."

If he didn't have the parchment and the strength from the game, Fang Yue would probably have died countless times already.

"That's right! Become stronger! Earn more money! We working stiffs are the best! I have to get up early tomorrow and go to work early! And then deal with the explosion at home. We should pay what we owe, we can't screw over Xiaoya!"

Sister Yuan obviously thought of other things and gave everyone an encouraging pep talk.

The three continued to chat for a while, and soon Sister Yuan fell asleep. Bai Xiaoya then said, "You should go into the game to rest or sleep now. I'll keep watch tonight."

Fang Yue was stunned, then realized that it was necessary and that he had been negligent.

"I'll watch the second half of the night."

Bai Xiaoya looked at Fang Yue: "…Okay."

Connecting to the game watch, Fang Yue fell into sleep.

…

In the game.

Fang Yue slowly opened his eyes.

The clear night sky was dotted with sparkling stars.

Tonight, the moonlight was beautiful.

"Captain Ye is awake! Captain Ye is awake!"

Fang Yue had only just begun to enjoy the night scenery when the people beside him started shouting, making Fang Yue's face darken.

But this was what he had ordered, so he couldn't really say anything to them.

Soon, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu hurriedly came over.

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye, we're almost at Guyue Village!"

Huh?

How could it be so fast?!

Fang Yue asked suspiciously, only to learn that Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's so-called 'almost there' was just because he had seen the familiar scenery from before and thought they were almost at Guyue Village – this guy was also a bit of a dimwit when it came to directions!

In reality, no matter how fast they traveled, and no matter how much their speed was increased, such a large team would still need about the same amount of time as it took to get to Qu Mo Village to return to Guyue Village.

Asking about the situation of the escort team, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu excitedly waved his little fist.

"Brother Ye, I killed a weirdo today!"

What?!

Fang Yue widened his eyes in surprise.

"You? You killed a weirdo? How did you do it? With your little arms?"

Although Fang Yue had been having Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu eat things to increase his attributes using his talent.

Speaking of attributes, the increase was quite pleasing.

But the problem was, it was all data. Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu had zero combat experience. How could he possibly beat a weirdo in the wild?

Fang Yue was a hundred percent skeptical, which made Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's face turn red.

"You, it doesn't matter how I did it, anyway, I really killed a weirdo, you can ask Niu Niu... oh, I forgot, Niu Niu stayed in Qu Mo Village to make money and didn't come with us. Then, then you can ask the Blood Hunter, he saw it too!"

Fang Yue suspiciously had someone call the Blood Hunter over. The Blood Hunter, who was originally riding a horse at the front, quickly retreated to the middle of the team and came to the carriage where Fang Yue was lying.

"Brother Ye, what's the matter?"

"Did she kill a weirdo today?"

The Blood Hunter was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Fang Yue to ask this as soon as he woke up.

Looking at Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's proud appearance with his hands on his hips and his chest puffed out, he hesitated and said, "She did kill one."

What the heck?

He really soloed a weirdo? Did the sun rise in the west??

Fang Yue couldn't help but curiously asked, "How did you kill it?"

"How, how did I kill it? Why are you asking so clearly? Brother Ye, praise me first!" Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu had a little proud look on his face, asking for praise.

Fang Yue was just about to give this guy, who had finally grown up a little, some praise and encouragement when the Blood Hunter spoke up.

"Reporting to Brother Ye, on the road, we encountered a black-rank novice weirdo who was on its last breath and almost dead. Originally, I wanted to let the guards just take care of it, since this black-rank novice weirdo was basically no threat. Then Wu Wu excitedly ran over and said 'Let me do it!!', so we let her kill the weirdo. That's how it was."

Fang Yue: ???

Fang Yue turned to Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu with a dark expression, the latter pretending to look at the scenery while walking away.

"Ah… hahaha, the night is nice tonight, Brother Ye, you're busy, I will continue to work hard and kill more weirdos! Look forward to my performance!"

Look forward to it my foot!

You kill-stealer!

Fang Yue's face darkened. He knew it, how could this guy solo a weirdo.

Unless he was under his supervision and trained, maybe he would have a chance to make something of himself, otherwise, if he was left alone, he would be eaten by any weirdo he encountered.

However, the fact that there was a dying weirdo on the escort route made Fang Yue quite concerned.

"Blood Hunter, the ant theory you mentioned before, now that we've encountered weirdos on the road, what do you think?"

"Brother Ye, this further confirms my guess!

Fights between weirdos aren't common. You didn't see the state of that weirdo. It was as if a large group of wild beasts had trampled over it and then left it on its last breath.

And for a normal black-rank novice weirdo with normal vision, a normal herd of wild beasts rushing past would just be an appetizer for it! Which means.

Either the herd of wild beasts that trampled over that black-rank novice weirdo was very large, so large that the weirdo couldn't handle it and had to retreat.

Or… the group that trampled over this black-rank novice weirdo was stronger than it!

Either way, something special must be happening to make a group of that strength or size run forward like they're fleeing!"

Hearing this, Fang Yue frowned slightly. The closer he got to the Blood Hunter's theory, the worse it was for the escort team.

He couldn't help but look back, in the direction of Qu Mo Village.

Could it be… that something happened in that direction?

So those weak weirdos were all flocking towards Guyue Village?
