Chapter 921 Sila's Dream

Da Chun inquired about the completion progress and learned that it was about halfway done.

After thinking about it, I realized I'd just had a few small steamed buns for lunch, so I figured I'd take advantage of the free time to eat dinner. So I called Zhou Qing: "Mr. Zhou, I'm hungry."

Zhou Qing replied: "Okay, Brother Chun. Also, just now, there was a fight between NPCs in the alley of Black Iron City, and then the Broken Bottle Tavern was blown up by a golden light. This is a video taken by players on the street at the time. Because the players from the Merchant Guild are still in the sewers, they can't go back to check immediately."

"understood."

Da Chun opened the video, but it was too messy to see clearly. All he could confirm was that the Broken Bottle Tavern had exploded, and shattered glass doors and windows were scattered everywhere. Besides, this wasn't even the first video of the scene. After all, who in their right mind would go to the back alleys to get beaten up?

But this golden light... it's eerily strange. Could it be Dark Remia, who's a regular at the tavern? She should be able to emit golden light, right?
Da Chun felt uneasy and decided to contact Ai Lian again and have Biliana make another trip to check on things.

Ellen quickly replied, "Bilianna went to check, but everyone's gone. We should have more news once Vivian wakes up."

"I understand, thank you for your hard work, Bellena."

Eileen smiled: "Yes, it's getting light, and Biliana needs to rest. It's best not to disturb her for a while afterward."

After the conversation ended, the delivery guy knocked on the door to deliver the food.

When Da Chun opened the door, there was another huge food truck!

What the hell!

The young man then pointed to a glittering gold envelope on the table: "This is a family travel voucher from Brother Long. He instructed Brother Chun to make sure he accepts it."

Um... family, well, it's better than giving out nightclub tickets.

"Then, please pass on my message: thank you, Brother Long."

"Okay, Chun-ge, enjoy your meal."

Da Chun opened the plate, and sure enough, it was Australian lobster again!
I opened the travel voucher in the envelope again and was genuinely stunned. It was for a resort on an island over there? Haha, no wonder he's Brother Long! Okay, maybe I can take the whole family there for Children's Day. I just hope I can establish a stable base of travel options before Children's Day so I can travel without any worries.

Just as they were finishing dinner, the last machine was finally completed. Cheers erupted both above and below ground.

The time energy shield dissipated, and the Sirens teleported in: "The temple's energy is all used up. It seems we can only build 4 more."

The guardian spirit also emerged from the machine, showing signs of exhaustion, its condensed humanoid form blurry!
Da Chun and the others were shocked and immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Sage Master (Distinguished Guest), are you alright?"

The guardian sighed, "It's alright. I left a machine spirit clone in the last machine to ensure that it will definitely run. It has no consciousness, but you can use it to study it or nurture it."

Chifenda exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you so much, distinguished guest!"

The guardian deity chuckled and said, "I should also thank you for allowing me to perform such an interesting feat. I especially want to thank Lady Siren; your time magic is incredibly pure. Some guardian deities of major cities may not even possess your abilities. How did you manage to do it?"

Holy crap, this is an affirmation from the Bronze Guardian! Da Chun wants to know too.

The siren laughed and said, "Of course it's the pure obsession of evil spirits. Every time I rob a cargo ship, I receive praise and worship from thousands of evil spirits on the island. Perhaps this is evil without any impurities."

The guardian exclaimed in amazement, "So that's how it is! You have the purest believers!"

Um... are you sure you didn't use the wish-granting power of the divine crystal?
The Siren said, "Actually, the reason I spared no effort to use all my divine power to finish the work so quickly is because I realized the urgency of the crisis. The Empire will be attacking soon. I also thought of a way, and I realized that only the Sage can help."

coming!

Guardian: "Please speak, madam."

Siren said, "The visit of the Sages has laid a foundation for our friendship. We can certainly accept other visitors. Once the Sage has rested, we can go back and find some of the Imperial Princes and Sages to come and visit the island. Perhaps that will change something. Of course, we mustn't let them know that the Sages helped us build the machines. If they really don't want to come, then so be it."

The guardian spirit perked up: "What an interesting suggestion! I wholeheartedly agree! Time is of the essence, no need to rest, I'll set off immediately!"

Ah! Da Chun was also quite embarrassed: "Sage Master—"

The guardian said, "The machine soul equipment requires more debugging and adjustment than ordinary equipment to cultivate a machine soul. You can stay here to help debug and install the machine, or you can also study the machine soul I left behind. Time is short, so learn as much as you can and be prepared for negotiations to fail at any time."

Da Chun was so moved he was speechless: "Then may your master rest in peace!"

The guardian spirit laughed and said, "My safety is the least of my worries. I'm setting off!"

After saying this, the guardian deity transformed into light and vanished.

Now, Da Chun also has his own things to do: "Goddess, I forgot to give you something earlier—"

The siren scoffed, "You were just calling me a siren, and now you remember to call me a goddess?"

I haven't seen you for a month, and I've been staying up all night thinking like a madman...

Da Chun knew her nature, so he cut to the chase and got straight to the point: "This is the statue upgrade blueprint I obtained after defeating the World Sea God again—"

The siren snatched it, trembling all over: "Why didn't you give it to me sooner?"

Holy crap! Did we really lose money?

Da Chunhan said, "I'm afraid of scaring the guardian spirit!"

The siren exclaimed excitedly, "Perhaps it really will scare them, and it's not too late now. You go and test the machine, I'll go upgrade the idol!"

Um, I'd like to see if upgrading the attributes is a good idea?

In short, the completed machines were pulled down to the rear of the island, at the tail of the old turtle, by the track rollers. This area had been excavated into a large, flat machine room, supported by steel pillars, with steel gates, and seemingly finished with cement. The first three machines were already in place.

Da Chun asked Qi Fenda, "Is there no propeller connected?"

Chifenda laughed, "No need, it's just direct jet propulsion. Our goal is to accelerate through the void!"

Ah, I mentioned it before.

With a wave of his hand, Chifenda opened the steel gates, letting in the sea breeze and morning light. The server room suddenly appeared, perched atop a cliff behind the island. So, this is the rocket launcher for the floating city!
Qi Fenda then said, "Then let's start debugging. I'll be machine number 1, you'll be machine number 2, and Little Fa VIP will be machine number 3."

Tifa: "Roger!"

Um... what do you mean "your second unit"? Tifa isn't an outsider, why are you calling her "the city lord's second unit"?

Da Chun, a master mechanic and a master module combiner, dared not say he was incapable, and thus came to the front of machine number 2.

Sure enough, those who needed to know, knew; the system automatically prompted to start.

Then start it, and a half-tube progress bar appears.

—Mechanic Profession Notice: You are a Master Craftsman level Mechanic. You have initiated the debugging of the Mechanic Soul equipment using a Master Craftsman level module combination. The current equipment operation status is 61.6%! Your Mechanic profession experience has been greatly increased.

It's that familiar progress bar again, and that familiar way of increasing professional experience!

The principle must be the same as the previous master craftsman-level spatial technique, the end of which is the power of law, and at the very least, the entire machine soul must be produced, right?
Da Chun then asked Qi Fenda, "What's your progress?"

Chifenda: "13%!"

Poof!

Da Chun then asked Tifa, "What's your progress?"

Tifa shouted, "The machine is too noisy, I can't hear you."

Um... then that means don't ask.

Da Chun glanced at the progress bar; this was destined to be slow and tedious, but thankfully he had slept enough in the afternoon.

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

At 6 a.m., the group of guys, who hadn't had enough sleep, greeted each other with "Good morning."

Xila yawned: "Good morning... You guys have stayed up all night again, haven't you?"

Sariel sighed, "You've finally arrived! Butler, quickly wake Uriel, who just fainted from crying." Raphael muttered, "Yes, how can we let him sleep after such a terrible mistake?"

Michael sighed, "Butler, don't go and call him. Let Uriel rest. Even if he wakes up, it won't do any good. Instead, you should investigate the origin of the magic book in the video."

Butler: "Understood."

Sila was stunned: "This is Uriel's screen recording?"

Michael sighed helplessly, "Well, you can take a look."

Then Xila laughed directly: "Hahaha! He deserves it! What does he mean by going after my goddess? Is he trying to steal her away from me?"

Michael sighed, "Be serious, this is very serious. Actually, you don't know the origin of this guardian evil god, do you?"

Sila frowned: "I understand."

Then, upon logging in, Xila found her screen completely black and blurry.

—System prompt: You are in a deep dream state. Do you want to force awakening?

Sila was stunned: "Is my game character dreaming?"

Raphael was surprised: "This has never happened before, has it?"

Sila was bewildered: "No! If I had, I would have announced it."

Sariel chuckled: "Go and wake Xiaomei up, maybe it's because Xila gained some human-machine consciousness after being fucked and uploaded it!"

Sila was furious: "Fuck you!!"

Michael said, “This is a rare opportunity. Don’t wake up. Wake up Gabriel; she’s an expert in dream design.”

Sila retorted irritably, "Wait for her? I could have cursed her countless times by now!"

Sila began to walk through this hazy, eerie atmosphere, much like the thick fog of night. If it weren't for the daylight and everyone watching her broadcast, Sila would never have had the courage to face this alone.

Sila was completely disoriented and felt incredibly stifled: "Can I shout?"

Michael sighed, "It would be troublesome if it turned out to be a nightmare. Let's wait for Gabriel."

Metatron was also puzzled: "It doesn't feel like a consciousness upload."

Sila asked irritably, "Then what exactly constitutes consciousness uploading?"

Metatron sighed, "Anyway, it's not what I imagined. This is more like a scene from a game."

Sariel said in a deep voice, "Then this must be the reason for the Night Rose Tavern! Da Chun's consciousness contains all kinds of sea succubi Andariel, so this tavern is very likely a nightmare stronghold, which may also be a clue for Uriel's mission."

Raphael exclaimed in surprise, "This time, I think Sariel's argument makes sense!"

Sila sighed, "Can we not mention that idiot Uriel? He doesn't even know how long he's been sealed away."

Finally, Gabriel arrived belatedly: "Dream, then shout it out!"

Sila said irritably, "Look, after waiting for her for so long, she's not much more skilled than me!"

So Sila cried out!

The shout echoed repeatedly.

Then Sila waited quietly for a response, and suddenly a light burst forth from the darkness!

Sila exclaimed excitedly, "Found it!"

So they moved toward the light, and the black mist gradually thinned until it revealed a familiar array of red, black, and white colors.

These three colors instantly reminded Xila of the Convergence Godhead, which, like a football, had these three colors on it!
Sila was a little scared: "Is anyone there?"

A weak female voice responded: "Who?"

someone!

Sila boldly entered and saw a little white angel!

Everyone was in an uproar!
Sila felt no fear whatsoever: "Who are you?"

The little angel said, "I only remember that I was a guardian deity of the empire, a remnant soul, but I can't recall my name right now."

Sila was surprised: "Then why are you here?"

The little angel asked, puzzled, "I'm still wondering... are you the hero who saved me?"

Sila laughed: "Yes, I'm the one who saved you, but I didn't know you were here."

The little angel said with relief, "That's great! I'll think about it slowly and tell you when I've figured it out."

Emmmmm......

Just then, a knock came from outside the dream, and the entire dream shook.

The little angel said, "Warrior, wake up. As long as I'm safe, I'll be fine."

Sila: "Alright then."

The dream dissipated amidst the tremors, and Sila awoke with a start. She was in her hotel room, and her mentor's voice came from outside the door: "Get up, come and see how our animal protection work is going..."

Sila jumped up: "Great mentor!"

At the same time, Xila also opened her inventory to check the Football Godhood, and yes, it was the same three-colored light as in the dream.

At this point, the chat group was completely clear.

Gabriel said, "This little angel's energy state is indeed that of a legitimate guardian deity! Although the information provided is limited, it does reveal her identity as one of the guardian deities from the old version of the Doomsday War, and her divine essence is within this aggregated divine essence."

Sila laughed and said, "I know! You don't need to tell me!"

Michael's spirits lifted: "An ordinary divine spark can only be considered a slightly higher-grade gem. But a divine spark with a divine soul is completely different; its enhancement to Sira is immeasurable!"

Gabriel scoffed, "She's clearly on the light side, while Sila is on the dark side. They're at odds!"

Sila laughed and said, "That's exactly what I want. I wouldn't feel at ease if she were directly in the dark camp."

Amidst laughter and conversation, Xila and her mentor arrived downstairs. At this time, the Fourth Miss had already woken up and was having breakfast at the tavern downstairs.

"Greetings, Mentor! Greetings, Elders!"

The mentor asked with a smile, "You worked so hard yesterday, are you still able to continue performing today?"

Miss Four was very excited: "Another performance? That's great! We're already hooked on the feeling of being a star."

Vivian also came over to greet them: "Miss Fafnir, now that she knows about your deeds, might come and see the performance."

Shelley smiled and said, "Perfect timing, I need to give Miss Eve her gift."

The fourth young lady got excited: "The Black Iron Flower! Judging from the poster, she's the most mature of the five city flowers."

Sheila coughed lightly: "No, don't say she's mature..."

The mentor couldn't wait: "Then let's go!"

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw the paparazzi waiting with a newspaper and flyers in hand: "Mentor, I did it! My newspaper is being distributed all over the city now!"

In fact, one could simply wait for a report in the tavern to take photos, but that's the sophisticated part of surreptitious photography—they are well-versed in the etiquette and rules of the NPC world.
