Hearing Sun Qingyi's words, Xu Xiaoyan felt a twinge of embarrassment. As the student union president, Sun Qingyi had a lot of responsibilities to make the Soul Master Academy run smoothly. The teachers and staff were also busy preparing teaching plans. To avoid any criticism from outsiders, they had to assign someone with a certain status to receive the Shrek Seven Monsters, so they had no choice but to hand this task over to Sun Qingyi.
Xu Xiaoyan saw the slight amusement in Sun Qingyi's eyes and said sheepishly, "You don't have to look at me like that. If you feel sorry for me, why don't you join me and try it out? I read in the introduction that this can be played by two people."
Sun Qingyi smiled and agreed. Xu Xiaoyan pulled her to her room and they lay down on the bed. They activated the Miracle System and entered the special edition of the Dream World.
As soon as they entered, they found themselves in a place that resembled a station. However, the station looked shabby and rundown. Sun Qingyi glanced around and then turned to Xu Xiaoyan, who was lying next to her. She gasped and asked incredulously, "Are you Xu Xiaoyan?"
She couldn't believe her eyes. Xu Xiaoyan's clothes and appearance had changed drastically. She looked like a cartoon character, with exaggerated features and bright colors. Even the star staff in his hand looked like a toy.
If it weren't for his hair color and his familiar face, Sun Qingyi wouldn't have recognized her. She tried to suppress a laugh, but it was hard to keep a straight face.
Xu Xiaoyan noticed her expression and snapped, "Don't be smug, just look at yourself and you'll see."
She waved her hand and a mirror appeared in her palm. It was supposed to be the spiritual mirror in reality, but it was too cartoonish. The color was no longer silver, but a girly pink.
Sun Qingyi took the mirror and looked at her reflection. She saw a face that resembled hers, but with cartoonish proportions and hues. She looked at her hands and realized that she had also turned into a cartoon character, just like Xu Xiaoyan.
She dropped the mirror and burst into laughter. Xu Xiaoyan was annoyed by her reaction and hit her head with his star staff. She said angrily, "What's so funny?"
Sun Qingyi laughed even harder. She saw Xu Xiaoyan's light blue twin ponytails bouncing cutely and found them hilarious. Xu Xiaoyan saw her laughing at her and joined in. They both laughed until they had tears in their eyes.
As they were laughing, they heard a whining sound. They looked up and saw a cartoon-like train stopping in front of them.
The train had a cat's head on the front, but it looked very cartoonish. When the door opened, a man with a cat's head stepped out.
He greeted them with a meow and said, "Welcome to the cat train. This train will take you to the Silent House, the Snowy Plains, and the Cat Academy..."
Xu Xiaoyan and Sun Qingyi exchanged puzzled looks as they heard the strange names of the places. They realized that they had to get on the train first.
They walked towards the door, but they felt an invisible barrier blocking their way.
Then, a virtual option appeared in front of them: Please choose your destination.
They saw the names of the places that the cat-headed man had mentioned, but only the Silent House was available. The rest were grayed out and had a message saying that they needed cat coins.
They had no choice but to click on the Silent House, and the barrier disappeared.
They entered the carriage and saw the seats were also very cartoon-like. They had cat heads on them, and the armrests were shaped like cat paws. They wondered what Anping had done to create such a thing.
The cat-headed man guided them to two seats next to each other. After they sat down, he asked, "Would you like to try some food and drinks on the train?"
Sun Qingyi was about to say yes, but Xu Xiaoyan stopped her and shook her head. She said, "No, we don't need anything!"
The cat-headed man left without a word. Sun Qingyi asked curiously, "Why did you stop me? Is there something wrong with the food and drinks? Isn't this your first time trying this too?"
Xu Xiaoyan said angrily, "You may be smart, but you're really dumb sometimes. Didn't you see the options before? Even going to the place we want costs cat coins. Do you think the food and drinks are free? Or have you never taken a train before?"
Sun Qingyi blushed and said, "I've never taken a train. Before I came to the City of Miracles, I never traveled far. I never even left my family."
Xu Xiaoyan laughed and said, "You're such a sheltered girl. You've never seen the world."
Sun Qingyi said, "What's so weird about that? That's how families like ours are. If it weren't for Holy Spirit Douluo coming to our family and persuading the patriarch, I would probably never leave in my life."
Xu Xiaoyan nodded, thinking that maybe that was how the Hidden World families lived. She felt a surge of sympathy for Sun Qingyi. Sun Qingyi could tell what she was thinking and said, "Don't look at me like that."
