While the siblings were thinking, a Pei Guang who looked like he had lost all will to live arrived at this room.
"Robin, are you awake?"
Pei Guang's voice delighted Robin: "I'm awake, Elder brother Pei Guang~"
Sunday: "?"
Sunday stared wide-eyed at Robin. He finally figured out where those words "Elder brother" went—so they ran over to Pei Guang?
But something wasn't right! Even if the time difference between reality and the dreamscape was significant, only a dozen or so hours had passed in reality.
How did Pei Guang hook up with his sister in just a dozen hours?
Aaahhhhh!!!
Sunday let out a screaming marmot cry in his heart.
Feeling her brother's gaze, Robin blinked and spoke somewhat embarrassedly: "Um... Elder brother Pei Guang entered my dream and helped me a lot. He made me no longer weak, and even let me understand Mom's feelings back then."
Robin still remembered some things her mother said about her father. Although she had no memory of her father, she remembered that every time her mother mentioned him, she had a very happy expression.
Before, she didn't understand why her mother would show such an expression, but recalling the experiences in the dream, Robin couldn't help but reveal that same smile.
Seeing this smile that seemed familiar, Sunday suddenly felt a shudder from his very soul; he had a lingering feeling that he had arrived too late.
Just as Sunday was questioning his life, Robin pushed open the room door.
Looking at Pei Guang outside, Robin asked carefully: "Elder brother Pei Guang?"
This familiar address made Pei Guang shiver.
How should he put it? Being affectionately called "Elder brother" by a superstar felt great, but thinking back to how every time Robin called him this in the dreamscape was a scene of her farming his favorability, it made Pei Guang shiver all over.
"Stop! This form of address, stop for a moment. Just call me normally. This 'Elder brother' makes me..."
Recalling the experience of eating breakfast then lunch, then dinner, and having his favorability farmed, Pei Guang felt an urge to vomit.
Robin: "Oh..."
Pei Guang's tone was somewhat low-spirited.
Seeing his sister in a bad mood, and recalling Pei Guang's previous actions, Sunday's anger flared up instantly.
However, before he could speak, Robin went to Pei Guang's side and took out the microphone obtained in the dream.
"Look, I can actually bring out this good thing I opened in the dream?"
Robin showed off her microphone.
Looking at her microphone, Pei Guang was a bit confused.
"Huh? It can be brought out? Oh! The indestructible and undiscardable attributes took effect, right? The traits in the dreamscape are still there, just some functions were banned. It seems if we open chests in the dreamscape and get good things with special affixes like this, we can probably bring them out to use."
Pei Guang recorded this trait and decided to find an opportunity later to test if similar items could be brought out.
Robin: "Is that so? But speaking of which, here..."
Pei Guang looked at this place.
Within this space, some people who had fallen into sweet dreams could be seen. These people were addicted to the sweet dreams and unable to extricate themselves; it seemed they couldn't escape the dreamscape on their own.
"I guess a special method is needed to wake them up? Sigh, Stelle and the others are currently in a deep sleep state just like you were. I don't know what method to use to restore their consciousness."
Robin: "Like how you entered my dreamscape before?"
Pei Guang: "I have that idea, but entering your dreamscape was a coincidence. For the others' dreamscapes, I can't guarantee it. But it's not a big problem: we'll try everything when the time comes. Maybe some item or skill will succeed?"
Robin: "Then let me help you? I can use my singing voice to help people with firm wills like ours wake up from the dreamscape. I think the more people wake up, the more things we can do."
Pei Guang nodded: "Okay! Then I'll trouble you with that. As for me, I'll try to find my accomplices. Asking me to fight the Dreammaster alone makes me feel a bit shaky."
As a player, Pei Guang was very confident, but this confidence was not recklessness, nor was it a death wish.
Insisting on fighting a boss meant for a team alone would not only screw himself over but also screw over all his teammates.
Based on the Dreammaster's previous performance and the experiences in the dreamscape, Pei Guang felt that what he had to do next might be very screwed up.
The two were ready to act.
However, just as they were about to set off, Robin suddenly remembered something and shouted to Sunday inside the room: "Brother! I'm going to save Penacony. Please rest assured, we will definitely make everyone wake up!!!"
When the Dreammaster controlled Robin, it was a simple and crude form of control, which resulted in Robin having absolutely no understanding of the Dreammaster's thoughts.
Without knowing the other party's thoughts, both Pei Guang and Robin treated this act of controlling people and trapping them in sweet dreams as an evil plan.
Pei Guang thought even further.
He even believed this was the Dreammaster attempting to use everyone in Penacony to refine a Soul-Refining Banner—oh!
No, to revive the Aeon of Order…
As for justice? Evil? Since when does a player care about that stuff?
His moral baseline is his own standard of conduct. If it were just someone blocking the way, Pei Guang might be willing to chat, but for someone who controls everyone with a wave of their hand and restricts their freedom?
If he didn't beat them up, Pei Guang wouldn't feel at ease.
Pei Guang and Robin left.
Watching the receding figures of the two, Sunday opened his mouth wanting to say something, but couldn't say a word.
What did he just see? Did he see an expression on his sister's face that was so happy it was practically dripping with affection?
At such a critical juncture, it would be one thing if his sister wasn't nervous, but she was actually happy?
When the two acted together, there was a wonderful tacit understanding between them. This kind of chemistry basically wouldn't exist without spending at least a month together.
But Pei Guang had only been in Penacony for two days!
If counting the time of contact with his sister in reality, including the time he wasn't present, it totaled less than ten system hours.
Ten system hours cultivated a chemistry that usually takes at least a month? Huh?
He couldn't figure it out.
In less than ten system hours, how did Pei Guang hook up with his sister? Did they meet in the dream? Did the sweet dream created by the Dreammaster allow his sister to find someone she likes? And then his sister has to compete with three other people?
Is this how the Dreammaster lets his sister experience a sweet dream and feel beauty?
If this is true, then for this Penacony dreamscape, it would have been better if he had done it himself.
At the very least, he wouldn't have let Robin and Pei Guang meet in the dream.
And now that Robin and Pei Guang's relationship was so good, no matter how he thought about it, it was all the Dreammaster's fault!
But the Dreammaster was, after all, the person who raised him and shared his ideals.
At the same time, that smile of his sister's...
Sunday had interacted with many people and understood matters of family affection and romantic love very well. No matter how strong his desire for control was, he could accept his sister dating, and could even accept his sister getting married and having children.
Although he might uncontrollably want to kill the person his sister liked, essentially, he supported his sister experiencing anything that could make her happy.
He didn't understand how his sister hooked up with Pei Guang, but recalling his sister's expression, he began to ponder: should he find a way to help Firefly, March 7th, or Stelle win?
As for beating Pei Guang up?
Given the smoothness with which Pei Guang captured him, it seemed he couldn't win?
