"Hey, hey, hey?!"
(O(ﾟДﾟ)っ)!
Hearing Jiang Lin's answer, the entire Qicai Dan dragon was stunned.
This, this, this...
This is not what I heard in my dreams!
Completely different!
On the other side, Jiang Lin also looked at Qicai Dan with a hint of doubt.
He wondered if this was a fake 'Qicai Dan' sent by the Dragon Palace?
Why did such a good dragon become silly after the baptism?
Running away after being defeated, isn't that normal?
"But, but..."
Qicai Dan gestured frantically, "Behind you are many, many living beings, about as many as a city. How can you just run away with them?"
Jiang Lin said lightly, "Ghost artifact."
Qicai Dan was stunned, "A ghost artifact that can hold as many living beings as a city... even if it exists, it must be very precious."
"Who would think of bringing it with them in advance..."
The soul storage bags they usually use can only store a small number of souls.
Anything slightly more advanced is expensive.
Based on its observation of its master, he only uses mid-level soul storage bags in daily life.
It's not that he doesn't have money, he just feels that mid-level is enough.
To put it nicely, it's frugality, not showing off wealth.
To put it bluntly, it's stingy.
But if you say the master is stingy...
When it goes on missions with Xu Nan and Robot Ball, the ghost artifacts the master gives are always sufficient.
The gifts given to his good brother Xu Shu Zi's family were also carefully selected treasures.
However, the master himself rarely uses these treasures.
Once, Qicai Dan wanted to use the rewards from a mission to buy him something.
Upon learning this, Jiang Lin flipped his wrist, and a familiar mourning stick appeared in his hand.
"I don't lack ghost artifacts."
With one mourning stick, he could last forever.
Qicai Dan's expression at that time was like this: (*⊙~⊙)
Stingy master.
It just wants to spend money, so what!
But Qicai Dan only dared to think these things in his heart.
Therefore, although it didn't say it, Qicai Dan didn't believe that such a master would buy an extra-large soul storage bag to carry with him.
Jiang Lin calmly uttered two words: "I have."
"..." Who would believe that.
Qicai Dan muttered in its heart, should it go back to the Dragon Palace and move one back later?
Jiang Lin glanced at it and raised his hand to click on [Product Preview] on the mall page in front of him.
The next second,
A black, several-centimeter-sized square box appeared in his palm.
"It can hold the living beings of a city, it's completely possible."
He really wouldn't carry such precious things with him.
If he felt it was unnecessary, he indeed wouldn't buy it.
But he had a system mall.
Although he hadn't found anything that could resist the pollution source yet, if it really came to such a dangerous moment,
He wouldn't be stingy with points.
Keeping points for daily use is precisely for unexpected needs.
"You, you, you, you..."
Qicai Dan circled the black square box, looked at it from left to right, and confirmed the internal space size of the box.
Suddenly, it couldn't speak properly.
Looking at the square box, then at its master.
Looking at its master, then at Xu Nan and Robot Ball beside him.
Heavens!
Is this really its master?!
He actually bought such a precious thing and prepared it in advance?!
What happened when it wasn't in the underworld?!
At this moment,
This ghost and this dragon simultaneously began to suspect that the other party had been swapped.
...
Of course, suspicion was only a fleeting thought.
Facts proved that swapping was impossible.
They had only not seen each other for a year.
After the initial strangeness, Jiang Lin looked at Qicai Dan, who was sitting dumbly at the table, unsure whether to be nervous or relieved.
He frowned, "When you were in the Dragon Palace, did you hear any news related to me?"
Qicai Dan raised its head and looked at its master with a conflicted expression.
Should it say it?
Say it had a dream that might be a precognitive dream?
But some parts matched, while others didn't match at all?
However, the danger of the pollution source did exist in reality.
If it didn't say it, what if the master really encountered trouble...
If it said it, at least it could have some psychological preparation in advance.
Thinking of this, Qicai Dan's heart calmed down again.
So what if it was laughed at!
After all, it never wanted to hear about the master being in trouble again!
It hoped for a future world where the master was alive!
Having made up its mind, Qicai Dan spoke,
"Master, actually, I had a dream during the baptism..."
About ten minutes later,
Qicai Dan withdrew its consciousness flow skill.
The Jiang Lin in front of him fell into thought.
From his perspective, he could see more unreasonable aspects of this dream.
But if the dream was said to be fake, it wasn't entirely true.
Many things in the dream, and their development trajectories, could indeed be matched with reality.
If an uninformed person saw it, they would think it was real.
"True and false, false and true?"
Jiang Lin carefully reviewed the details in the dream and understood why Qicai Dan asked such strange questions.
"By the way, Master,"
Qicai Dan remembered what Ao Bai's former teacher had said and briefly mentioned it to Jiang Lin.
"That teacher was quite mysterious, as if he knew everything."
"No,"
Jiang Lin suddenly looked up, "They don't know everything either."
It's impossible for them to know everything.
And this is precisely the key to the problem.
Whether it's the 'precognitive dream' or Gui Lao,
They all ignored a variable – that is, the Underworld Healing Live Stream System.
If things had developed according to the original trajectory, they might indeed have ended up that way.
But with the system as a variable, anything is possible.
And this is precisely the reason for the unreasonable points in the dream.
In the dream,
People didn't mention the Underworld Healing Daily Live Stream, perhaps because they didn't know about it at all.
When facing a large number of pollution sources with the Eighteenth Team, they didn't run but chose to confront them head-on...
This was also without the premise of the system.
If viewed from this perspective, everything makes sense.
The so-called butterfly effect.
Once a variable appears at a certain point, countless variables will appear in the future.
Thus leading to an unknown outcome, becoming unpredictable.
"I won't die."
Jiang Lin flicked Qicai Dan's forehead, reassuring it.
"Also, white doesn't look good on you."
In the dream,
A hundred years later, the young dragon was dressed in white.
Although his features were handsome, he gave off a feeling of attending a funeral.
"It's quite ugly."
Qicai Dan covered its forehead: "...!!!"
Where is it ugly!
It's clearly a handsome young man!
For a moment, Qicai Dan's mood was extremely complicated.
Sometimes thinking about the dream, sometimes thinking about the master's promise just now,
And sometimes thinking, is it really that unattractive?
It completely forgot that Ao Bai was waiting for its news outside the Eighteenth Hall.
Straining its neck from looking.
Ao Bai: ...
Heh! As expected, it's still that ungrateful little dragon.
It won't change even after a hundred years.
...
