My Exclusive Dream World Adventures-Chapter 86 - 0 For the purpose of reward

Chapter 86: 086 For the purpose of reward

How did I complete it already?

Chen Xu was a bit puzzled; his first thought was that there must be a system bug?

He had stayed at the first refuge for a month and a few days. He stayed roughly the same amount of time at the second refuge too, roughly seventy days in total. He was still a hundred and ten days short.

But then again, it seemed unlikely. If the system had such a big bug, it was probably not far from collapsing.

“Could it be…”

An idea emerged in his mind, “I didn’t actually die, Xia Jinse saved me, and let me live through the remaining time?”

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

Although he had been seriously injured at the time, given the technological level of that world, they should have been able to save his life and then place him into a cryogenic storage device. Surviving a few more months wouldn’t be a problem at all.

After all, the requirement for the task was just to survive for one hundred eighty days. Even if he was unconscious, as long as he was alive, it would surely count.

“I didn’t expect that, in the end, it was thanks to her that I completed the mission smoothly.”

His emotions were complex, like thinking about her, all alone, spending months in the refuge with a half-dead body, enduring what kind of loneliness and solitude?

He stood there in a daze for a while before letting out a sigh of sadness.

Such affection, in real society, you might never encounter in a lifetime. In the dream, being able to experience it firsthand, he felt very fortunate and touched.

Did Xia Jinse love him?

He didn’t think so; it was probably a more complex emotion. Like two fish trapped in a difficult situation, moistening each other’s bodies with the water in their mouths, mostly for survival.

“I wonder if I can meet you in reality?”

He thought somewhat wistfully.

Soon, he shook his head; even if he could meet her, what would it matter, after all, it was just a dream. The her in reality would not know about the things in the dream and wouldn’t recognize him.

It was just a dream.

He told himself this, gathered his emotions, and focused his attention on the prompt that followed.

“Settlement complete, you have earned 150 points for this dream. We hope you continue to strive for better results in the next dream.”

“Congratulations on passing through a complete dream for the second time.”

“The content of this dream is provided by the Educational Center. Please submit a reflection of at least two thousand words. Upon successful review, you will receive a reward.”

This content is taken from freёnovelkiss.com.

What the hell?

This completely different prompt from last time stunned Chen Xu.

A reflection?

More than two thousand words?

This felt eerily familiar, like being back in school watching a movie.

The sudden shift was confusing, and he was a bit overwhelmed.

After a while, he realized, “So, was this a dream with educational significance?”

Hmm, human civil wars leading to the end of the world, environmental degradation, and the emergence of strange creatures.

On closer consideration, many points seemed a bit deliberate.

And there was the first refuge, where the previous people were addicted to pleasure, wasting a tremendous amount of energy on food enjoyment despite non-renewable resources. In the end, they died comfortably.

In the second refuge, countless people sacrificed their lives to defend humanity’s home from the strange creatures, which was a stark contrast to the former.

As for what happened later, he could only guess.

“Are they treating me like a primary school student?”

Chen Xu couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

However, to get the reward, he had no choice but to go along with it.

Using the points he had just summarized, he wracked his brains and finally churned out a two-thousand-word reflective essay. He hadn’t written an essay in years and was quite rusty.

After finishing, he submitted it and anxiously awaited the verdict.

“Congratulations, you have passed. We hope you will remember the lessons learned in the game, to protect the environment and conserve energy. The planet is our home, and every human being has a duty to care for it…”

A sense of joy spontaneously arose in Chen Xu, and as for the rest of the message, he didn’t tune in, only thinking about what reward he would receive.

Honestly, this was an unexpected delight.

When the last dream ended, the prompt had specifically emphasized that it was a reward for completing a dream for the first time. He had thought there was only a reward the first time.

He didn’t expect that there was a reward after completing the second dream too. Although he had to write a reflection to receive it, it was definitely worth it.

“…The reward has been sent to your personal inventory, please claim it.”

“The next dream will start in six months, please look forward to it.”

Chen Xu was surprised at the last prompt. Wasn’t it once a month? Why was it now starting in six months?

“What’s going on?”

“Could it be because the difficulty has increased?”

“Or is there some other reason?”

He couldn’t figure it out and asked a few times, but the voice didn’t provide an answer.

“Forget it, let’s claim the reward first.”

He thought helplessly. His current status was still that of a visitor, with too many restrictions and practically no rights, unable to access many functions.

With that in mind, he quickly opened his personal inventory and saw a card with a different pattern on the back than the talent card he had gotten before.

Turning the card over, it simply read, “Endurance.”

“Congratulations on obtaining the basic card—Endurance. Would you like to use it?”

Chen Xu was thrilled. From the name of the card alone, he could guess its function was to enhance endurance.

When he was in university, he barely exercised, and after starting work, he had even less time; partly because he was busy, and partly because he was lazy.

His physical fitness was mediocre at best, and his endurance was poor; he would be out of breath after running for just a few minutes.

He had thought about working out, but he could never quite make up his mind.

Now, being able to directly enhance his abilities with a card was like a godsend for the lazy.

He couldn’t wait and said, “Use.”

The card glowed brightly and entered his body.

Closing his eyes, he heard a voice, “You reap what you sow, only with continuous training can you gain stronger endurance.”

A few seconds later, the light faded.

From the prompt sound just now, he inferred that to enhance endurance, he still needed to exercise for it to have any effect.

This game really didn’t have anything for nothing.

However, he was already quite content. Most of the time, people give up on something because they can’t see the results, or it takes too long to see any, which demotivates them.

If everyone could get results like he did after obtaining the talent card, simply willing to practice to see the benefits, the majority would surely keep up their efforts.

From that perspective, he was incredibly lucky.

PS: These past few days have been the Qingming holiday, and I’ve been quite busy during the day with little time to write. Please bear with me.
