Chapter 1 "Is this a dream, Yuzi?"

Chen Yuan couldn't quite believe it, because this damn dog was doing something very audacious.

He had tried before to bring things out of his dreams, but failed.

So, it was impossible.

Otherwise, dreaming of the British Museum would mean he could steal all the artifacts inside?

Ah, no, take them back.

However, although this was a dream, like a normal dream, it had a considerable degree of stability and a very high degree of realism. This could be seen from the details in many dreams. It removed the haze, boundaries, and unexplored misty areas that were unique to dreams.

It was like an open-world mobile game.

It presented everything very realistically.

Was it possible that this was Yuzi's (to respect the dog, he used its surname and given name, but also to distinguish it from another old friend with the same name) memory? Did it have this memory when it was rummaging through the garbage? Including the half-eaten Wallace that was thrown away for some unknown reason, possibly because someone was in a hurry to relieve themselves, and this golden... no, yellow bracelet in the trash.

Chen Yuan picked up the bracelet and weighed it in his hand. It was about 45 grams, the kind of weight that a very affluent middle-aged or elderly person could wear. It was quite heavy. Even if he only sold it at the gold price, it would be more than 20,000 yuan.

And adding the processing fee, plus the fact that the price of physical gold was different, it should be around 30,000 yuan.

"Is it possible that it's brass..."

Chen Yuan wondered if, when displaying the three gold gifts for the bride at a wedding, because there were a lot of people and it was chaotic, fake gold was usually put out for safety. After it was used, it was either thrown away casually, or put somewhere and never touched again.

That was also a possibility.

"Woof woof!" Seeing that Chen Yuan's expression was a bit solemn, and he didn't look happy or excited at all, Yuzi barked at him twice.

"What are you barking at?"

Although he was verbally abusive to the dog, Chen Yuan was also smiling, after all, the dog had good intentions and was trying to repay him.

Seeing Chen Yuan smile, the dog happily spun around in place, going crazy.

To be fair, it was kind of cute.

Although Chen Yuan was a little scared afterward that he had exposed his superpowers to save it, he was still very happy if it could get better.

The Chinese pastoral dog, also known as the "earth dog," was a hardy and easy-to-raise breed, but it was rarely kept as a pet in the city. If it was a "cloud pet," giving it some dog food and sausages every time he passed by, Chen Yuan could accept that.

After all, it would only cost less than 30 yuan a week to be able to show off to his classmates when he met them—

"Zhou Yu, come play!"

Woof woof woof! (Spinning around, sticking out its tongue, wagging its tail)

I think this thing is so cool, so technological!

Of course, this might arouse strong jealousy in someone, who would go out and get a dog overnight, and spend a lot of time training it with stereotypes.

But it's okay.

The first person to play this meme was a genius, and the rest are clumsy imitations of my Brother Yuan.

It's like the people who combine basketball and chicken, there are thousands of them, but none of them are as comfortable as him under that backdrop (sobbing)... I'm sorry, I lost my composure.

But this place is a bit familiar.

After Chen Yuan stood up, he began to wander around. And Yuzi followed at his feet, swaying along with him.

This should be a park nearby.

It was about a ten-minute walk, or a five-minute bike ride.

And it was found in the trash.

Next to the trash pile were several large trash cans. According to the situation at other garbage stations, a garbage truck should come to collect it every morning at five o'clock...

Crap, if that thing was really there, wouldn't it be taken away after he woke up? And then sent to a large landfill together, compressed into a mass, either buried or incinerated.

But he couldn't actively break free from this dream!

The reason why Chen Yuan was able to wake up on time before was because he had set an alarm on his phone. And as his fruit-using friends knew, the ringtone of that thing was like a bell ringing in your skull, a soul-striking experience that was impossible not to wake up to.

Americans also have their own messengers of death!

But if that was the case, by the time he was woken up by his fruit, he wouldn't even have a hot...

No, Yuzi was still here. It was a bit offensive to use that metaphor.

Got it!

Chen Yuan suddenly remembered that he wasn't always woken up by the alarm clock.

At least once, he wasn't.

It was the time he hit Wu Yixiang. Because he was too excited, he actually kneed the wall in reality, which woke him up in pain.

So, in order to wake up, Chen Yuan had to fight the air.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the dog's dream, so he wouldn't feel embarrassed.

Then let's do it!

Chen Yuan thought and did it directly, clenching his fists and throwing a series of punches and kicks at the air!

Moreover, he put himself in the right mood, as if he really had a grudge against someone, trying to make his real self make the same movements.

Soft Step Twin Lion Fist!

Guardian Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

And the Rotation that even a wooden stake couldn't stop!

In order to break free from the dream, Chen Yuan was now going crazy.

And in Yuzi's eyes, it looked like he was really fighting someone.

But it couldn't see anything.

Dumbfounded, its gaze following Chen Yuan, Yuzi suddenly thought of a saying in the dog world.

Humans can see things that dogs can't see!

"Woof woof woof!"

At the air, as if driving away some invader, Yuzi barked loudly. And not only did it move its mouth, but it also jumped in place vigorously.

"Stop barking, Yuzi, I don't have time to deal with you right now!"

However, after he said that, the dog seemed to be possessed, suddenly jumping up and bumping into the air.

Running back and forth, bumping back and forth.

At this time, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a little scared.

He thought of a saying in the human world.

Dogs can see things that humans can't see!

Yuzi, stop it, I'm scared!

Chen Yuan was terrified, and suddenly, he really felt something hit him, with a thud—

In the dream, Chen Yuan, a grown man, disappeared without a trace.

The dog froze in place, completely dumbfounded.

That person was not only fighting Chen Yuan, but also took him away!

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"

It suddenly became anxious, running wildly in the dream, shouting frantically, trying to snatch Chen Yuan back from the void...

...

"Ah, you motherf***er... that hurts a bit."

Although Chen Yuan used this method to successfully pull himself out of the dream, he really wanted to have another method if he could.

One that didn't hurt his elbow, one that wouldn't reveal a mask of pain on the spot.

The book fell on the bed, along with himself returning from the dream.

Chen Yuan took out his phone and glanced at the time. 23:23, still early, he had only been asleep for half an hour.

And that also meant that, in the more than an hour after he bandaged Yuzi's wound, its pain had already subsided to the point where it could fall asleep peacefully.

That was good, a meritorious deed.

So, if there really was that gold bracelet, it would be considered a reward from the Buddha.

He got up, put on a pair of long pants, then added a coat, put on his sneakers, and Chen Yuan went straight out.

Finding a shared electric bike downstairs that said, 'If you don't give me a name, I'll just pick one at random,' he scanned the code and started it.

Because Chen Yuan was quite familiar with the place, he didn't turn on the navigation and rode straight towards the park.

This dream should be something the dog saw during the day, or maybe not even today.

So, the gold bracelet might have already been taken away as garbage.

But no matter what, he had to go as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if there were any homeless people sleeping in the park at night...

No, if a gun was placed here, it might have to be fired.

If there was a Bocchi hiding in the trash can in the park at night, or a Mai Sakurajima wandering around in a bunny girl outfit, or a Rikka Takanashi fighting the Slip-and-Slide Demon... what would I do then?

You kid, aren't you putting in a bit too many guns?

Narration, ____.

So, in less than five minutes, Chen Yuan rode to the park. Although riding a bike was prohibited inside, shared bikes were small and light, so he could carry them up the steps. And since there was no one around at night, he rode directly into the park, looking for the place that should be in a corner of the park, connected to the road outside, making it easy for garbage trucks to haul away.

Following his memory and the map in the dream, Chen Yuan finally found the exact same bench after walking around for a short while.

Ahead, was it the trash can?

That's right, it was.

And it was exactly the same as the layout in the dream, with no differences.

And that further confirmed Chen Yuan's guess.

How good was a dog's memory? Could it really be better than a human's?

Of course not, so the ability to completely recreate the dream map in his mind should be the credit of the Superpower.

In other words, the dreamer could completely replicate the real world and project it into the dream.

It really was as Shen Xiaoran said, he was a great power capable of creating a Xuan realm.

Just then, a message arrived on his phone WeChat.

Shen Xiaoran said that she only added people she was close to on WeChat, could he add her WeChat too?

And then, Chen Yuan couldn't resist.

Fortunately, he didn't have a younger sister. If she really begged like that, he really wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Some people always say that younger sisters are enemies, and it's impossible for there to be a brother who spoils his younger sister to the heavens.

But there's a prerequisite for that: the age gap isn't very big.

If there are only a few years between them, it's indeed easy to fight and quarrel.

But if it's six to ten years, or even a dozen years, and the younger sister is really cute...

He would still spoil her.

What if it's a younger brother?

He would spoil him too.

But that wouldn't stop me from flicking his little thingy.

Chen Yuan opened WeChat and saw that Shen Xiaoran had sent him a selfie in front of the mirror. In the photo, she was wearing another pretty floral dress that she thought looked good, and the expression on her face was the narcissistic kind.

Shen Xiaoran: I stood up to take it myself, this time it's thirty seconds.

Being able to stand for thirty seconds after leaving the wheelchair...

That was indeed a bit impressive.

That was the meaning of the Superpower.

If he didn't go to school and didn't rest, and just kept pressing and pressing Shen Xiaoran, he might be able to completely cure her.

Or, at least cure her to the limit that massage could achieve.

It wasn't that Chen Yuan couldn't let go of his studies or school. Although he was indeed a little reluctant to part with Xin Bao, Xin Bao wasn't the kind of girl who would run away if he didn't spend time with her for a week, so the real reason was—self-preservation.

Chen Yuan wanted to take it slow and gradually cure Shen Xiaoran.

Instead of completing a treatment in a week that the Senhai Rehabilitation Center couldn't complete in five years.

If others found out that there was a bone-setting master who could cure disabilities in seven days...

That would be a threat to him.

He would take it slow and have fun with this Superpower.

But...

Standing in front of a pile of trash that was probably twice as big as the one in his dream, Chen Yuan was a little numb.

No, wasn't the Superpower a very high-class existence? As its user, was he really going to do this kind of thing here?

Chen Yuan's psychology didn't want to accept it.

But there was an old saying in China—since you're already here.

This was on par with "it's the New Year" and "he's just a child" and "he's already dead," becoming a famous saying.

Wait, how did a storyline suddenly appear...

So, wearing the mask he had prepared in advance, he went straight to the place where Yuzi had been digging, first using his eyes to look for the gold bracelet.

But it was so dark at night, and there was more trash than before, this...

After looking for a few minutes, Chen Yuan still didn't see it.

Was he really going to have to dig through it? He would be punished by the heavens for using the Superpower to do this kind of thing.

Screw it, I'm not doing it!

The protagonist's self-esteem didn't allow Chen Yuan to do this, and at this moment, Shen Xiaoran sent another message.

Shen Xiaoran: So, when can you come over this week?

Chen Yuan: Friday, school gets out early that week.

As soon as he sent the message, she called.

Damn!

Why was she calling at this hour?

No, why was he replying to messages at this hour?

He was really speechless.

Chen Yuan had no choice but to answer the call.

Then he heard a nice, but indeed a bit "tea-like" girl's voice: "Wouldn't I get caught if I called you so late?"

"It's okay, I'll delete it."

"...Hmph, coward."

As expected, Chen Yuan only had to make a slight move, and she would be knocked back to her original form.

However, Shen Xiaoran's tone was still quite happy: "My dad also knows about you, and he trusts you very much. Once the security cameras are installed at home, you can come over under the guise of tutoring me."

"Then that's... is that really trust?"

"He doesn't know about the massage, he only knows that we're very good friends, and that you gave me a lot of encouragement, which is why I was able to stand up like this." Shen Xiaoran said quite seriously, "Really, come on, don't be afraid, he thinks we're just friends."

"Friends?"

Hearing Chen Yuan's questioning tone, Shen Xiaoran said happily: "I know what kind of relationship we have, it's just to deal with him..."

"It's a believer."

"Hmph."

While talking on the phone, Chen Yuan continued to look with his eyes.

And then suddenly, his eyes widened.

He found the Wallace.

Picking up a clean branch, he poked open the Wallace wrapper.

"If it's tutoring, then I'll definitely have to pay you. Although you, a god, don't care about it, please accept my good intentions. Of course, you don't have to worry too much, my family isn't very poor either, I still have a few thousand yuan in my piggy bank..."

"Money, huh."

Stopping his actions, Chen Yuan gradually calmed down.

"Yes... although this little bit of money isn't worthy of your efforts, I'll repay you properly. I can also work after I grow up... Chen Yuan, are you listening?"

"I'm listening."

For the first time, he squatted down, took off his mask, and used it to pick up the heavy gold bracelet.

Then, he wiped it clean.

In the dark night, although it wasn't bright, it still revealed a luster that made people feel relaxed...
