Chapter 437 The "Real" Dream
"When did I ever play Honkai Impact: Star Railway?"
A question crossed Yi Fu's mind as she was about to leave.
"Wait, what is 'Honkai Impact: Star Railway'?"
Yi Fu frowned and glanced at the furnishings in the room.
时钟上的时间已经到了12：00整，日历上显示的日期是2022年8月24日。
"No problem, what happened to me just now?"
Yi Fu shook his head and closed the door.
Just then, the phone rang.
"Hello? Who is it?" Yi Fu answered the phone instinctively.
"Who else could it be? Your father."
A familiar voice came through the phone.
"Get out, I'm your father."
He knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice.
His college roommate, Leng Shao.
Because his surname was Leng and he had dark skin, Yi Fu saved his contact as "Fei Zhou Leng Shao".
"What do you want?" Yi Fu said irritably.
"We're going back to school tomorrow, so let's go out for a meal today. Ning-ge is coming too," Leng Shui said.
"School starts? Isn't it only the 24th?"
"You forgot? School started early."
"Alright, enough talk, let's head to the internet cafe."
After saying that, Leng Shao hung up the phone.
Yi Fu stared at the screen that was currently displayed on her phone, puzzled.
How come he didn't know that school was starting early?
But Yi Fu still got on the bus and went to the internet cafe.
As soon as I entered the internet cafe, I was greeted by a noisy atmosphere and the smell of cigarettes.
"Hey, hey, hey, I've been waiting for you for ages." A dark-skinned man waved to Yi Fu.
A man with a middle-parted hairstyle was standing next to him.
"Brother Ning, weren't you in City B? Why did you come all this way?" Yi Fu couldn't help but ask.
"I came here to find a partner."
"Let's stay up all night tonight, and go back to school together tomorrow."
Ning Ge had already pulled out the chair.
"How about we book a private room? The main hall is too noisy," Yi Fu said instinctively.
Ning Ge rolled his eyes at Leng Shao, "It seems Leng Shao is still short of money."
"Wow, the lobby is much cheaper, and it's also a good deal to stay overnight."
As they were talking, Young Master Leng pulled out a chair and sat down.
Yi Fu had no choice but to take a seat as well.
"What are you hitting? Tiles?" Brother Ning asked.
"Should we play against the league first?"
"You two wait a minute, I need to clear my daily tasks."
After Leng Shao, who was sitting in the middle, finished speaking, he opened "Honkai Impact: Star Railway".
"I'm really impressed by you." Ning was speechless for a moment, then opened the game himself.
"What are you hitting?" Yi Fu asked.
"Zero kill zone!"
Yifu:.......
"Neither of you is any good."
Yi Fu was speechless for a moment, then opened Genshin Impact as well.
Since everyone is going to clear their commissions, he'll do the same.
After opening Genshin Impact and quickly defeating the Hilichurls and Slimes, and helping a merchant clear out the monsters through diplomacy, Iff arrived at the Adventurers' Guild in Mondstadt.
Catherine: "Towards the stars... I give thanks..."
"Alright, the commission is complete."
After obtaining 60 Primogems, Ifu opened the character and admired his six-lives Narcida.
"I've been working on this for several days, and I've finally reached level six."
As Yifu admired the view, he began to fantasize about how wonderful it would be to have a daughter as lovely as Naxida.
As he was thinking, he unconsciously dozed off.
I was woken up by the sound of someone banging on a keyboard.
"Holy crap! Why is this boss so hard to beat?"
"What's wrong with you?" Yi Fu squinted and frowned.
"It's just that this God's Sunday event is too difficult to beat."
The screen in front of Leng Shao displayed four red characters: [Battle Failed].
"Christmas?"
"Yes, the new main story boss has seven types of resilience."
"No way, Young Master Leng, you can't even beat the story boss? That's too lame."
"Tch, try it if you dare."
"Let's give it a try, log in..."
As they were talking, Yi Fu suddenly became lost in thought.
"Bengtie? I have Bengtie...?"
"Are you asleep? Didn't you just use Firefly a few days ago?" Cold Young Master clicked to restart the battle.
This time, he wasn't going to use auto-battle again; instead, he wanted to showcase his micro-management skills.
Watching Leng Shao's pursuit team fight against Shen Zhu Ri, Yi Fu became even more confused.
"Do I really have a Bengtie account? But I don't remember it."
"Why don't you log in and take a look?" Leng Shao said nonchalantly.
"oh....."
After a moment of silence, Yi Fu searched for "Honkai Impact: Star Railway" in the computer's game lobby.
However, no results were found, but Honkai Impact 3 came up.
"No."
"Let me see? That's impossible."
Leng Shao peeked over and found that there really wasn't one.
"That's strange, you don't have it installed on your computer, do you?"
"Go check it out on the webpage."
Leng Shao activated the Robin's ultimate move.
"That's... a robin?" If recognized the person in the game at a glance.
"See? Don't you know them?"
"Alright, stop pretending."
Yi Fu frowned and opened his browser to search for web pages.
The pop-up still showed Honkai Impact 3.
"Still no."
"Ok?"
Leng Shao was completely stunned. He glanced at the screen and realized it was true.
"strangeness....."
"Wait, when did the game launch?" Yi Fu suddenly asked.
"The server launches? I think it'll be in April..."
"No, I'm asking about the year."
"23 years."
"23 years? But right now, isn't it 22 years?"
Yi Fu looked at the time on the computer screen; it was August 24, 2022.
Instantly, a chill ran through Yi Fu's heart.
“Yes.” Leng Shao didn’t seem too surprised.
Suddenly, he stopped moving.
Ning, who was standing next to him, also stopped what he was doing and fell into silence.
"No, no..."
"This is...a dream?"
Am I dreaming?
Yi Fu looked down at his hands and noticed that they were turning black.
Looking up again, he found that Leng Shao's head was covered in a seven-colored liquid.
Not just him, everyone is.
"what......"
Yi Fu screamed and woke up from the bed again.
Sunlight streamed through the window and fell onto the blankets. Yi Fu sat up, breathing heavily.
"I had a nightmare..."
He glanced at the alarm clock beside him; it was still 11:59.
Am I really dreaming?
Yi Fu stood up and looked at the calendar again.
The date above is still August 24, 2022.
The phone rang again; it was Leng Shao calling.
"Hello...."
"Young Master Leng, do you know about the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway?"
Before he could even say a word, Yi Fu asked first.
"Starry Sky Railway? What's that?"
"You mean Honkai Impact 3?"
"That's an old game from back then. Log in to Genshin Impact and let me into your world to gather some materials."
After saying that, the phone was hung up.
With a skeptical attitude, Yi Fu put down his phone and sat down in front of the computer.
The interface above is still showing Narcida's 6 lives.
At this moment, a request to enter the world popped up on the screen.
It was Leng Shao.
Yi Fu clicked "agree".
Leng Shao manipulated Hu Tao into the Great World.
"What materials do you need?" Yi Fu typed.
"World Tree Leaf, I got it as soon as the Grass God was featured, I'm really short on materials."
"World Leaf? What's that? Isn't the Grass God's advancement material supposed to be the Calamity Lotus?"
As for Naxi Da's Yifu, of course she remembers what materials were needed for Xiaocao Shen to advance.
"The Lotus of Calamity? Isn't that the material Nasita wanted?"
"The grass god I'm talking about is Eve, the Great Tree King."
"You didn't follow the plot? The Great Tree King Eve turned into a slime and endured for five hundred years before finally returning to Mount Sumeru, settling scores with the Church, beating up the Great Sage Dog, and rescuing Narcida."
"Eve is so beautiful, I must max out her life!"
"The Great Tree King? Eve?"
Yi Fu looked completely bewildered. He quickly opened the wishing interface, where the featured character was none other than Eve, the Great Tree King.
Character Name: Eve (If)
[Real Name: Eve, Yggdrasil]
【Honorable Name/Title: Immaculate, Pure, Clear, and Crystalline Great Compassionate Tree King】
Gender: Female
【Star Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆】
[Location: Sumeru]
[Affiliation: Sumeru City - Pure Goodness Palace]
[Heart of God: Grass Element]
【Title: Heavenly Wisdom Returns to the Forest / Broken Branch and Fallen Dream】
[Role Type: Magic Weapon Character]
..........
"This..." Yi Fu was completely dumbfounded the moment he saw the character introduction.
When will the storyline of Sumeru feature the Great Compassion Tree King?
Hasn't the Great Compassion Tree King been completely forgotten?
And it actually exists?
"No, this can't be!" Yi Fu sent a message to Leng Shao.
"What do you mean it's impossible? I'll show you the real thing."
Leng Shao switched the role from Hu Tao to Eve.
After seeing the character appear, Yi Fu fell completely silent.
He covered his head, unable to recall that this scene was part of the story he had just experienced.
But since the actual characters have been revealed, it can't be a joke, right?
"Are you jealous of me or something?" Cold Young Master typed sarcastically.
Yi Fu still refused to believe in superstitions. He opened the wishing box and used the remaining raw stones to draw a prize.
It was a single transaction that resulted in a cash prize.
The character drawn was Eve.
But Yi Fu wasn't surprised; instead, he immediately opened the character introduction to take a look.
Normal attack (magic weapon):
【萌发】：进行至多五段的草元素攻击(倍率:101.5%/127.8%/109.6%/136.4%/163.7%)
Each attack grants Eve one stack of [Blessing of the Forest] (effect: Charged attacks consume a certain amount of stamina, after a short cast time, launch three vines forward, each with a multiplier of 196%), deal Grass DMG to the enemy and grant two stacks of [Blessing of the Forest], which can stack up to five times.
Elemental Combat Skills (Artifacts):
【Sprawling】: Vines rising from the ground. Tap to apply Grass element to enemies for 10 seconds and apply two stacks of 【Forest's Blessing】 (Damage multiplier: Elemental Mastery * 10% ATK (multiplier up to 800%)).
Hold down to control the enemy for up to 10 seconds, then knead the enemy and apply three stacks of [Forest's Blessing]. During the control period, the enemy is on the ground and cannot be freed by teleporting (damage multiplier: Elemental Mastery * 15% ATK).
Elemental Burst (Artifact):
【Echoes of the Forest】: Eve uses the power of the Grass element to its fullest extent, firing a Grass element beam at the enemy, dealing Grass element damage to all enemies in its path (multiplier: 450%), and consuming all 【Blessing of the Forest】 effects to increase damage.
(Note: After unlocking the first life, you can equip a one-handed sword and change your character's skills.)
After seeing the skill description, Yi Fu felt it was even more outrageous.
"Why can a character with a magical artifact equip a one-handed sword?" Yi Fu typed.
"It's obvious you haven't done Eve's legendary quest."
“Eve received the power of the Lone King in Mondstadt and can use a one-handed sword,” Leng Shao replied.
He has now climbed the giant tree of Mount Sumeru and started picking leaves.
"Is that so...?"
"But I still feel like something's not right..."
Yi Fu muttered to himself, still feeling something was off, but he just couldn't find it.
Everything seemed perfectly reasonable.
He opened the character profile and carefully examined the details.
Especially the characters' voices.

[Battle Language]
Joining Team 1: Oh? Is there something new you want to show me?
Joining Team 2: Are you facing some difficulties?
...............
"Everything seems to be normal..."
Ifu seems to have accepted the facts.
Could it be that I really remembered it wrong?
and many more.....
Yifu examined the language closely and seemed to have discovered something.
"Funinna?"
