"Currently located at the residence, charging is accelerating."
"Charging has ended. Charging has been completed."
Ms. Moon read out this message, but everyone was confused.
What is charging? Why didn’t they receive this Wonderland prompt?
Just when everyone was suspicious, Luigi said: "Look at the Wonderland news in the text column. Are there any words highlighted?"
Ms. Moon took a look and nodded: "The color of the word 'charge' is slightly darker."
Luigi's eyes showed an expression of "Sure enough", and he immediately taught Ms. Moon to touch the word "charge".
"You can use eye movements, manual operations, and energy operations to touch the highlight of the text field to get more information."
Luigi briefly explained the three different operation methods: "You should only be able to use manual or eye movement operations at the moment. Which operation method to use, you can choose according to your preference."
After a pause, Luigi looked at everyone else except Ms. Moon: "You will do the same thing when similar prompts appear in Wonderland."
Eye movement operation will be more subtle, and manual operation will be more ritualistic.
No matter which one you choose, you can.
Ms. Moon chose "eye movement operation". She still wanted a more convenient operation than a sense of ritual.
When Ms. Moon clicked on the entry "Charging" through eye movement, a large amount of new information appeared in the text column.
"Charging: This is the proof of whether you can stay in Wonderland forever."
"Method: When you are in the special wonderland "Uriel's Choice", charging will be automatically enabled."
"Charging time: Inside the residence, it only needs to stay for 10 minutes to complete charging; outside the residence, it needs to stay for 120 minutes to complete charging."
"Please note that every time you go online, the charge will be cleared; only by recharging can you continue to log in to Wonderland next time!"
"Please note that if you do not complete charging during the online period, your sojourn career will end and you will be deprived of your status as a "temporary traveler"."
After Ms. Moon read this piece of information, everyone roughly understood the meaning of charging.
To put it simply, everyone has a charging pool, which starts charging automatically every time they go online, and can be accelerated in their respective residences.
Only when the charging pool is full can you continue to log in to the Wonderland copy next time, otherwise your status as a temporary resident will be cancelled.
In the eyes of everyone, this is probably a disguised form of increasing online time and frequency.
You must be online for at least 10 minutes each time, otherwise your login qualification will be revoked.
However, in Angel's opinion, this actually has nothing to do with the so-called online time...
Because Angel used his power to detect the information flow hidden in the "charge" entry.
The so-called charging is actually helping everyone anchor the Crystal Plain of Dreams.
Creatures in the Sun Mirror Realm can enter the Crystal Plain of Dreams through the login device.
But these people in the Western Continent do not have login devices. If they want to enter the Crystal Plain of Dreams, they can only rely on the power of the fairyland to open a special anchoring channel for them.
Currently, except for Blanche, everyone else has created temporary anchoring channels in their bodies.
But anchoring channels also require energy before they can be used.
Charging is the energy that fills the anchoring channel.
As for the essence of this "energy", it is actually: the power of the dream world and the breath of the nightmare world.
Every time they go online, the power of the dream world will mix with the breath of the nightmare world and enter their "recharging pool." Only when the energy in the charging pool is completely full, after they return to reality, can they rely on consumption to recharge next time.
The energy in the energy pool is logged into the Crystal Plain of Dreams.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, the reason why they have a rigid "online duration" requirement is actually that the power of the fairyland is carving out a one-time "nightmare dream spell" for them.
Therefore, "charging" is not to increase their online time. On the contrary, it is the painstaking efforts of the powers of the fairyland.
As for why they only need to stay in their respective residences for ten minutes to be fully charged, it's because... the nightmare aura in their residences is even stronger.
anyway.
Why doesn’t Blanche have this charging pool?
Because she has been "anchored" a long time ago, and the anchoring channel on her body is not temporary, but long-term and formal.
The energy required to anchor the channel is also paid special attention to by the fairyland power. Once it is lacking, it will be replenished immediately.
This is the so-called "deep" anchoring. To put it bluntly, Blanche is the VIP customer appointed by Wonderland Power.
But Blanche doesn't know this.
At this time, she was still looking at others with envy. Others had charging pools, but she did not.
This made her a little uneasy... Can she really enter Wonderland next time?
…
Everyone returned to their own rooms, and as expected, the "Charge" fairyland prompt was triggered.
After confirmation, they gathered in Ms. Moon's room again.
Camillo: "Our charges all show that they are fully charged. Presumably, the time we spent in the traveling hut was included in the calculation."
If you recharge it now, it will definitely not be full.
Since they show that they are full, it means that the several hours they spent in the travel cabin are counted as charging.
"This saves time. You can log in directly next time." Ms. Moon said with thought in her eyes: "But how should we log in then?"
Facing Ms. Moon's inquiry, Luigi shrugged: "I don't know about this either. Why don't you try it after you go offline later."
Looking at Luigi who was confused, Ms. Moon sighed: "I can only experiment by myself."
However, Ms. Moon actually didn’t have a specific protocol for how to conduct the experiment.
She thought for a while and decided to discuss it with others and listen to everyone's opinions.
However, before she could speak, she saw Luigi raise his eyebrows and said: "I received a prompt from Wonderland, saying..."
"Today's bonus course has ended."
"That is to say, Gulemo has left."
The moment he finished speaking, Luigi looked up at the crowd and found that their figures were slowly fading. Obviously, with Gulemo's departure, the medium channel they left on Gulemo was about to be broken.
When Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun saw this, although they were a little helpless, they could only accept it.
After all, it was early morning in the outside world, and it was time for Gulemo to wake up.
Only Camillo looked at Luigi nervously, wanting to ask Blanche any remaining questions, but he entered the "offline" state and disappeared before he could finish speaking.
However, the moment Camillo went offline, he faintly saw Blanche's body, which seemed to be solid?
Solid means no offline?
Is it an illusion?
Before Camillo could investigate, he entered the whirlpool of darkness. The next second, he opened his eyes and found that he had returned to reality from the "dream".
Mr. Sun and Ms. Moon next to them also opened their eyes one after another.
Camillo did not greet the two adults immediately, but turned to look at Blanche. She saw Blanche lying on the sofa, her eyes still closed, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she seemed to be still smiling sweetly.
Dreamland...
…
Camillo was not mistaken.
Blanche did not disappear with them.
After everyone went offline collectively, only Luigi and Blanche were left looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Luigi waved and was about to say something.
But the next second, he felt like the world was spinning, and his whole body seemed to have entered an underwater whirlpool.
After the dizzy feeling stopped, Luigi found that he had appeared outside the small foreign building. And, he received a fairyland prompt.
"You are not allowed to enter private residences without permission."
Luigi: "..."
He was at Ms. Moon's home before. When Ms. Moon was there, he could still stay at her residence. But when Ms. Moon went offline and he was not invited, it was tantamount to barging in.
He was directly kicked out by the Fairyland Power.
Moreover, not only Luigi, but Blanche also suffered the same fate as him.
At this time, Blanche was beside Luigi and collapsed on the ground. Her eyes were dizzy, and it was like black coils were spinning in her eyes.
Seeing that Blanche, the "VIP customer", was so miserable, Luigi finally regained his inner balance.
After a while, Blanche recovered from her dizziness. After she stood up, she looked at Luigi confusedly: "I...why didn't I leave?"
Luigi: "..." Because the power of Wonderland is reluctant to part with it.
Although he thought so in his heart, Luigi definitely couldn't say: "I don't know either."
Weanjuan wasn't here at this time, and he wasn't worried about his lies being exposed.
"Lu, Mr. Luigi, what should I do if I want to leave?" Blanche hesitated for a moment and asked.
Luigi: "You're leaving now? Didn't you just say you wanted to stay..."
Blanche had a look of fear in her eyes as she said this, but she still felt a little uncomfortable just leaving her alone.
To put it simply, she is a criminal.
She felt good being with Camillo because she had people she knew and felt confident.
But now that she was left alone, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"I..." Blanche was about to explain when she suddenly noticed a line of words popping up in the text column.
"Trigger keyword"
"Do you choose to leave?"
Blanche was stunned. Although she had a text field like everyone else, information never popped up in her text field, whether it was identity information or housing recharging. She had none of it.
Unexpectedly, new information appeared at this moment.
And looking at the description in the text column, it seems that the message was triggered because I said the key word "want to leave".
However, although the message in the text column asked her if she wanted to leave.
But she wasn't given a choice.
Just when Blanche was confused, she discovered that the word "leave" seemed to have a different color than other words.
She immediately remembered what Luigi had said before. She tried to reach out her hand, use manual operation, and clicked the word "leave" on the text column out of thin air.
The next second, new information popped up.
"Please select a destination."
"Dream Crystal Plains."
"Return to reality."
Blanche looked at the new options with confusion in her eyes. She understood what the second option meant. In Luigi's words, it was "offline".
But the first option, where is this?
Where does the Crystal of Dreams refer to?
Blanche hesitated for two seconds before choosing to ask Luigi for help.
After Luigi listened to Blanche's story, he fell into silence...or, in other words, he took advantage of the silence to talk to Angel.
"She seems to have triggered the option to go to Dream Crystal Plains. Do you want her to go?"
As soon as Luigi finished asking, he heard Angel's response: "She can't go."
Luigi: "???"
Angel: "I just banned her."
Luigi wanted to scold the permission dog, but after thinking about it, he and Angel were on the same side, and he also enjoyed the treatment of non-exclusive permissions... Therefore, for other challengers in Wonderland, he actually also belonged to the permissions
dog.
So, it’s better not to scold.
"Aren't you going to let her go to the Crystal Plains of Dreams?" Luigi asked curiously.
Angel: "I can go, but not now."
If others can make Luigi's recognition reach 100% and obtain the identity of a sailor in the future, then it will be okay to let Blanche leave with him.
But letting her go alone now is not a good option.
The more special a person is, the easier it is to be treated differently.
Especially since she has two legendary beings, the Sun and the Moon, beside her in reality. If they knew that Blanche could go to the Crystal Plain of Dreams, they would probably be treated specially.
Of course, Blanche is already special now.
But this kind of specialness can be naturalized in the "mysterious talent", but cannot be naturalized in the preferential treatment of "fairyland power".
Therefore, Angel did not intend to let Blanche enter the Crystal Plain of Dreams before Mr. Sun, Ms. Moon and others obtained the status of sailors.
When she is on the same starting line as others, Blanche will feel more comfortable than "being treated specially".
Of course, Angel will also "investigate" whether Mr. Sun and Ms. Moon can finally obtain the "Sailor" and whether they can finally enter the Crystal Plain of Dreams.
If something is wrong, he will also ban it.
Although Luigi didn't know what Angel was thinking, since he had decided to ban him, so be it: "Then should I introduce the Crystal Plain of Dreams to her now?"
"Okay, if it's not an excessive issue, you have to control it yourself."
"clear."
After finishing the spiritual dialogue, Luigi raised his head and looked at Blanche: "The Crystal Plain of Dreams is actually the world outside the fairyland copy."
"Beyond Wonderland is the Crystal Plain of Dreams?" A trace of curiosity flashed in Blanche's eyes: "So, the Crystal Plain of Dreams is the real name of the Deep Dream Civilization?"
Luigi knew what the "Deep Dream Civilization" Blanche was talking about was, referring to the legendary civilization deep in the dream world.
He didn't know if this kind of civilization existed, but the "Deep Dream Civilization" and the Crystal Plain of Dreams were definitely not related.
However, Luigi did not explain it to Blanche, and said vaguely: "I don't know whether it is specific. Maybe you can only confirm it by taking a look in person."
