I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 5 Hello, Naxida.

Sumitra frowned, lowered her voice, and snorted at Vitiga beside her: "Associating with bad students will only drag you down sooner or later."

The voice wasn't loud, but in the quiet Wisdom Palace, it reached Palavi's ears clearly enough.

Paravi's face flushed instantly, half from anger and half from feeling indignant on behalf of Chen Bo.

It was clearly Chen Bo who was tutoring me, so how did it become like this in their mouths?

She looked up abruptly, about to retort.

But seeing Chen Bo's peaceful sleeping face, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

He is too tired.

If we make a fuss here, it might affect his sleep.

In the end, Paravi just glared at the couple and then put a pale finger to her lips in a "shh" gesture.

Her eyes seemed to say: Shut up, don't wake him.

Vitiga and Sumitra exchanged a disdainful glance, shrugged, and walked away without lingering.

the other side.

Chen Bo's consciousness had sunk into a state of chaos.

In Sumeru, adults do not dream, because they all wear Void Terminals.

This vast network, led by a great sage and connecting the consciousness of everyone, silently takes over dreams while people are asleep, harvesting them for calculations.

As a student of the Order Academy, Chen Bo naturally also wore the Void.

At this moment, at the edge of his consciousness, large swaths of ominous scarlet, like ink dripping into clear water, were spreading and seeping wildly, attempting to devour his dream.

The red area was filled with countless tiny noises and chaotic data streams, making it extremely aggressive. However, it was blocked by a blue force and could not penetrate even slightly.

Just now.

[A connection to consciousness has been detected in the void. Do you agree to the request?]

A cold system panel popped up in Chen Bo's mind.

In his dream, Chen Bo stared blankly at the scene before him and the system panel that appeared in front of him.

So the system can still be used in dreams, it seems, and it even acts as a firewall.

"no."

Chen Bo rejected Xu Kong's application.

The next second, a pale blue light screen rippled, dispelling all the invading forces.

In the Pure Goodness Palace, Nasita, who was closely connected to the World Tree and the Void, immediately noticed the anomaly in this network.

A dream, an independent consciousness called "dream bubble," rejects the connection to the void.

It's like a calm lake surface, where suddenly a drop of water refuses to merge into the lake, instead wrapping itself up tightly.

Out of curiosity, Nasita sent out a wisp of her consciousness and cautiously probed along the veins of the void network.

However, the moment her consciousness tentacles touched that dream bubble...

boom!

An unimaginable force of recoil came, and her consciousness tentacles were like a fragile dewdrop hitting a red-hot iron plate, instantly shattered.

Meanwhile, in Chen Bo's dream world.

Another panel popped up.

[A request for access to the consciousness space has been detected from "Nassida". Do you agree to the request?]

Chen Bo was stunned.

Naxi Da? Grass Goddess?

Isn't this development a bit too fast?

He almost immediately chose "agree" without hesitation.

In an instant, soft, grass-green light poured down from the sky of the dream world, gathering on the ground and slowly forming a petite figure.

It was none other than the Little Auspicious Grass King, Naxi Da.

"Hello, I'm Nasita." She rubbed her temples, her voice still slightly groggy from the dizziness. "I noticed that your Dream Bubble is a bit... well, a bit of a loner, like a little pebble in a cookie tin, so I wanted to come and take a look."

She paused, then used a peculiar metaphor to describe her experience: "Simply put, my consciousness was like a small droplet of water hitting a stone, accidentally splashing itself into a spray of water. My head is still a little dizzy."

Chen Bo scratched his head awkwardly.

Wow, he knocked out the Grass God on their first meeting. Would you call that an achievement?

He quickly asked the system in his mind what was going on.

Upon receiving the answer, he immediately explained, "I'm sorry, perhaps the 'shell' of my dream is a bit too hard. The force of the rebound is the same as the force of the touch. Next time, you only need to spare a very, very slight force, like a feather brushing against the surface of water, and once I receive it, I will immediately approve your application."

"I see." Nasita nodded thoughtfully, her emerald green eyes beginning to curiously examine Chen Bo's dream world.

This dream world is strange, filled with buildings he has never seen before, because Chen Bo's dream is one of the places where he lived the longest, his university in his previous life.

I've been living here for seven years now, including my bachelor's and master's degrees plus my first year of doctoral studies.

This was unlike any dream of a Sumeru person she had ever seen.

"Although dreams are mostly bizarre and fantastical, like paints haphazardly splashed onto a canvas," Nasita said, tilting her head as if talking to herself, "it's hard for people to imagine things they've never seen before. So, most fragments of dreams can be found in reality."

She looked at Chen Bo, her eyes clear and deep: "In your dream, there is no 'soil' of Teyvat. You... are not from here, right?"

Recalling the powerful force that could easily repel her consciousness, Nasita had already made a judgment.

This must be an Arrival.

They saw right through me.

Chen Bo was not surprised at all, nor did he intend to hide it.

Now, Chen Bo is thinking about something else.

How should we entertain Nasita, this guest?

Guests from afar are welcome.

According to the Chinese way of hospitality, when guests come to your home, you must serve them tea and water, and set out fruit platters and snacks.

This is my own dream world. Theoretically, I can create anything I want, right?

When entertaining a deity, one cannot be too stingy!

With this in mind, Chen Bo immediately concentrated and began to think hard.

The next second, this city of steel and concrete began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

The original buildings melted down and were transformed into chocolate wafers and cream-filled cookies, which were then used to create a checkerboard floor.

The surrounding walls were transformed into giant dark chocolate bricks, inlaid with colorful nuts.

A river made of milk tea appeared out of nowhere, flowing through the city. Matcha-flavored milk tea flowed in the river, and chewy black pearls floated on the surface of the water.

In the sky, a rainbow made up of various fruit hard candies stretches across the horizon.

Even more outrageous, not far away, a fountain made of soda water and cola suddenly shot into the sky with a "boom".

The dark brown liquid, mixed with countless bubbles, drew cheerful arcs in the air, making a "hissing" sound.

Immediately afterwards, tables made of candy slowly rose from the ground, with light and shadow flowing across the tabletops, and dishes that were most memorable to Chen Bo appeared out of thin air.

Steaming hot scrambled eggs with tomatoes, golden in color and with an irresistible aroma.

The glistening, shredded pork with garlic sauce is sweet and sour, and delicious.

Sizzling, oily grilled lamb skewers.

A whole plate piled high with spicy crayfish.

There was also the golden and crispy roasted whole chicken, the steaming Lanzhou ramen, and even... several buckets of instant noodles in different flavors, with even the little plastic fork inside perfectly replicated.

Chen Bo opened his arms and made a welcoming gesture towards Naxida, who was completely stunned.

"Welcome to my world! Everywhere you look is delicious food. Feel free to enjoy it."
