Chapter 20 Sober

Edward felt like he had a long dream.

"You have neither money nor ability. What's the benefit of me being your girlfriend?"

"Loser, you don't have to work from tomorrow on."

In his dream, his ex-girlfriend took all the money from his bank account and dumped him resolutely. His boss plagiarized his work and even fired him.

Walking on the road with heavy rain on a cold night, he was instantly submerged by the people coming and going.

Edward felt that he was a freak who was not accepted by the world. The people on the street were laughing and talking, but only he was alone.

What's the point of living in this world?

Edward, who was standing at the block, sneered.

The traffic light in front of him turned red, and the cars in the left front began to move one after another.

How about suicide here!

Edward thought.

Then he began to walk slowly towards the center of the road.

"Handsome, I miss you so much."

"Edward, you are so cool!"

"Brother, I always believe you!"

Edward heard many other voices.

Another memory flashed through Edward's mind.

He entered the game world to obtain the only plundering talent, and passed all the tests to become the leader of the team.

He remembered that there was a woman named Irene who admired him very much and even had sex with him.

There were other three people waiting for him to save them.

They were currently carrying out a team task, and he was also conducting a side quest.

Edward stopped walking towards the middle of the road.

He felt that there were two different memories and voices fighting in his mind, and he was fighting with a shadow in his heart.

One told him to end the pain forever, and the other told him that he couldn't give up!

Edward slowly opened his eyes and regained his sanity.

Wait!

Where is this?

Am I fighting with the mouse just now?

Why am I arriving at the roadside suddenly?

And the scene in front of him was the street where he lived before in the real world, but he was living in the game world now!

Edward's body trembled and he was completely awake!

The mouse's weapon was the fog it spat out, which would make people pass out and enter the illusory world.

Everyone had his or her own weakness deep in his or her heart. If he or she enlarged this weakness, the human would fall into endless sadness and not want to live on.

The mouse took advantage of human's fragility to make humans fall asleep and commit suicide.

What a horrible battle.

Edward thought.

Fortunately, he defeated himself at a critical moment.

Edward decided to beat the mouse at its own game, pretending that he had fallen into sadness and committed suicide.

The mouse looked at Edward, who was lying on the ground with a weak breath, and vigilantly walked over.

Edward hid his breath and pretended to be dead.

The mouse rubbed Edward's face with its tusks. Edward was disgusted and almost vomit.

In an instant, Edward opened his eyes. Before the mouse could react, he quickly used the plunder talent.

The mouse screamed painfully and then turned into dust with other creatures, streaming all around by the wind.

"Congratulations on your successful plunder of the mouse's illusion talent!"

The familiar voice of the system rang. Edward knew he had succeeded again.

"The illusion talent was increased to phantom talent by a hundred times."

"Phantom talent, the user can create an illusion for others to enter and the user could enter the illusion at any time to change or end the illusion."

"Level: B (upgradable)"

"Your talent was upgraded to level A."

With illusion talent at level A, you could create the illusion for multiple people entering at the same time.

"That's cool!"

Edward said with a smug smile.

This was the paradise of the dream maker.

Then Edward found that the collapsed cave had been restored to the way it was.

Edward was shocked and hurried to the cave.

Everything in the cave was intact, and there was no sign of collapse.

Edward suddenly realized that he had entered the illusion space since he entered the cave.

It was not until he had saved himself that he was able to get out of the illusion.

"Congratulations on completing the side quest of the Water Moon Cave. Please go to the center of the cave to obtain the treasures!"

Edward followed the instructions of the system to the center of the cave.

In the middle of the cave was not a stone, but an exquisite box.

Edward opened the box and saw a ring with a pair of wings lying quietly inside.

Edward took out the ring and put it on his left ring finger.

"Ouch!"

Edward felt a sharp pain in his ring finger.

There was a cut on his finger, and blood flowed into the ring.

The ring was immediately activated with pink light, and the wings on both sides of the ring began to flutter.

"Congratulations on becoming the new owner of the magic ring. It can communicate with you mentally, and no second person can hear your conversation."

"Awesome!"

Edward exclaimed.

"Master, you can make a wish now."

Edward felt that there was a voice in his heart.

He raised his hand and looked at the magic ring, which was emitting light.

Edward suddenly understood everything.

So, he made a wish to the ring

"My teammates get out of danger and go to meet Irene."

"Your wish has been fulfilled. The magic ring will be in a state of deep sleep, waiting for you to wake up next time."

Then Edward saw the light on the ring disappear and it turned into an ordinary ring on his finger.

"Hey, you haven't told me what the awakening rule is?"

Edward said to the ring.

However, there was no response.

"Forget it. The most important thing right now is to finish the team task as soon as possible. As for the ring, I can explore it gradually in the future."

Edward continued to use the friend teleportation function hurriedly to teleport to where Irene was.

As soon as Edward grounded, he saw Phillip and the others were having a heated discussion with Irene.

"Brother!"

Laura found Edward first and immediately threw herself into Edward's arms.

Edward hugged her immediately.

"Brother, I knew you would come to save us. I'm really scared. You don't know how uncomfortable I am when I was frozen."

The little girl burst into tears in Edward's arms. She looked very aggrieved.

Edward stroked her cute little tail and comforted her

"It's okay. It's the past."

"Edward"

Phillip rushed to Edward with Rowling and Irene.

"Oh my God! It's so nice to see you."

The crowd began to exchange greetings. One by one, they briefly explained the cause and the end of the experience.

Seeing that the team trusted him, Edward smiled with satisfaction.

Was this the feeling of trust?

Edward felt like he had found a partner in this world.

Suddenly, Edward found that Rowling's wrist was bandaged with gauze, but she had been covering it with her long-sleeve all the time.

Edward took Rowling's hand and asked with concern

"Is your wrist okay?"

Edward's gentle action made Rowling feel a little embarrassed. She withdrew her hand and pretended to be calm.

"Don't worry. Laura has healed me before."

"That's good."

Edward nodded.

However, in Irene's eyes, it was too ambiguous!

Is Rowling going to take Edward away from me?

No! She would never allow it!

Irene couldn't help clenching her fists.

However, Irene's reaction was noticed by Phillip.

"Brother, I forgot to tell you that I seemed to see the missing Unicorn!"

The little girl told Edward the news, wagging her tail sweetly.

Edward was very excited, because they had to find the unicorn as soon as possible and complete the team task.

Besides, there were only three days left before the deadline of the team task reminded by the system!
