Electronic Nezha

Chapter 118 Aura
I woke up again.

He was in bed, his phone was on, and the girl in the video was changing clothes over and over again.

"What does swallowing mean? It means you're craving something." Even though I was awake, I still honestly answered the Queen's question.

There's no way around it, grilled squid is just my favorite. I love watching it sit on a hot griddle, white and pink, sizzling and releasing its aroma. Sprinkled with all sorts of seasonings and sauces, its color gradually becomes more and more tempting. When I was in school, I often bought a whole grilled squid. When I was short on money, I would eat it sandwiched in a pancake. When I had more money, I would eat it plain. And when I was really rich, I would eat several skewers at once!
Gollum—

I swallowed again. Yuanyuan's steamed buns were delicious last night, but because I had something on my mind, I ate four yesterday instead of the usual five. I dreamt of being hungry and craving something in the middle of the night. How could I not drool when I saw takoyaki? Sigh, this was not my intention.

As for having the artillery positions bombard the octopus soldiers, that's related to personal aesthetics. I found that when the wake-up current was triggered, the Queen's control over the dream was indeed much weaker, which meant that my ideas could be realized in the dream. At that time, I could have made "Fu Hongxue" turn into a laser sword and jump down the building to sweep away thousands of troops, but I didn't like that, it was too tiring.

I still prefer the old-fashioned war movies from the 80s and 90s, where an entire artillery position fires thousands of cannons at once. That's what makes it exciting. It's normal to have a fear of insufficient firepower when fighting aliens. We know a few models of advanced missiles, and one of those would be enough to end the battle. That's not satisfying enough.

I checked the time; it was a little past four in the morning. There was a faint scent of perfume wafting from the bed.

There was a gentle knock on my door, and Yuan Yuan poked her head in and said, "Master, are you dreaming?"

"how do you know?"

"I heard my watch spray perfume."

"Hmm, the Queen is here, but I've made her run away again."

"Should I wake up Number 0 to discuss this?"

How many times will the perfume in the watch last?

"Both times, the battery level required for the wake-up call was the same."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, if the watch sprays perfume again, I'll try to wake you up."

"Yuanyuan, the watch you made is really useful."

Yuan Yuan's indicator light turned into a crescent moon and she disappeared.

As soon as Liu Zhenhua woke up in the morning, Yuanyuan woke me up too, and I told him about my dream last night.

Liu Zhenhua scratched his head and said, "When will this ever end? No matter how useful the watch is, it's not good if it can hypnotize you at any time."

This is exactly what I'm worried about. No matter how much I gain in my dreams, it won't make me happy. What do humans cherish most? Freedom!

Imagine someone wants to control you. They make you have to be there whenever they call you, even if they offer you the finest food and wine. You might find it interesting once or twice, but what if you have to do it for the rest of your life?

Hmm, this is quite similar to being kept by a rich woman.

Besides, the wine wasn't good, and the banquet... was all takoyaki. The queen might suffer a setback, but she held the initiative. She didn't need to do much; if she controlled me twice a day, I'd lose all my spirit. She suffered no loss except for being a little upset, while I had to be careful not to make mistakes. One mistake was enough, but if it continued like this, my mind would be constantly on edge, which was worse than being in prison.

Liu Zhenhua said, "Dad, can you ask me for another half day off? Let's figure out how she managed to get you into my dreams."

"Forget it, if you don't go today, Wang Aili will eat me alive!"

Liu Zhenhua had no choice but to say while putting on his school uniform, "The hypnosis started yesterday. Can you think of anything special that happened yesterday?"

The most special thing yesterday was that Hu Chunyan went to Li Ping's stall, which reminded me that she had given me a piece of paper to write my name on yesterday.

Not long after Liu Zhenhua left, I arrived at the fruit market. At this hour, apart from the security guard at the main entrance, the market was deserted. I went straight to Li Ping's trash can, first bending down to look inside, but the piece of paper Hu Chunyan had thrown away yesterday was nowhere to be seen. Then I simply crouched down and started searching inside. "Boss Liu, what are you looking for?" The sudden voice startled me, and I jumped up. Hu Chunyan had appeared behind me without me noticing.

"I forgot my cigarettes, find a long cigarette butt." With my upbringing, lying just comes out of my mouth.

"Oh, no need to look anymore."

There was something strange about her words. I glanced at her and said, "Do you know what I'm looking for?"

"Weren't you looking for cigarette butts? Your buddy's here."

I turned around and sure enough, Old Wang arrived on his electric scooter.

"Why are you here so early?" I asked.

Old Wang scoffed, "I come at this time every day too, since I can't sleep anyway."

I casually said, "I dreamt about you last night."

"Why are you dreaming about me? I only sell my labor."

"You can't sleep because you're alone all the time," I said casually. "Why don't you find someone?"

Why are you suddenly asking this? Who would want someone like me?

"What do you mean, 'someone like you'? You're not ugly, and I pay you a decent salary. It shouldn't be hard to find someone to settle down with, right?"

Old Wang chuckled and said, "To be honest, once you've seen the ocean, you can't be satisfied with a river. Your brother Wang used to be chased by young girls, so I can't bring myself to fawn over women again." This probably meant he didn't want to talk about the topic anymore.

Old Wang said, "I haven't even asked you yet, why are you asking so early?"

"I can't sleep either. I dreamt about you. How can I possibly fall asleep after that?"

Hu Chunyan suddenly said, "I think being single is great."

Old Wang finally found an opportunity to turn the tables, and looked at her sideways, saying, "You've been a bachelor before?"

"I've hit quite a few, I've hit several like you."

Lao Wang: "..."

I chuckled. Despite my doubts, Sister Hu was quite amusing if she weren't a queen. I suddenly asked her, "Sister Hu, do you have any wishes?"

Hu Chunyan thought for a moment and said, "My wish is for everyone who has offended me to kneel before me and beg for my forgiveness."

"Hmm?" Is this implying something?

"Especially my bastard husband, he should bring that little slut along and kneel at my door."

Old Wang said, "Then you and Li Ping have so much in common."

"Who said I am?" Li Ping made a dazzling entrance riding a pink electric scooter and wearing a pink helmet. Both of them were riding electric scooters, but Li Ping could ride with a princess-like air, while Lao Wang was just slacking off. Let's put it this way, if the security guard saw these two at the market entrance before opening time, he would definitely ask Li Ping what she did for a living, but if he saw Lao Wang from afar, he would have to open the gate for him, because even if he didn't know him, he could tell that he was a deliveryman. That's called presence!
