Chapter 366: Chapter 170: Oiran Outing

Gao Xin finally bade farewell, without truly battling with Wei Lan.

In the real-world conflict, the commotion would be too great, plus without fighting to the limit it wouldn’t be satisfying; there were still matters to attend to tomorrow.

As for the virtual world, Gao Xin was like a cheater; the Silver Hand shaped by his subconscious defeated Wei Lan in just a minute.

Wei Lan even thought that a hacker had invaded the servers of Tangren City, naturally making him lose the mood for a friendly match.

Ling Sha arranged a suite, letting Gao Xin stay in the same room with her.

Gao Xin was curious, "Is a virtual world invasion serious?"

She told Gao Xin, "...Of course, if there’s conflict among the nine cities next time, or even national warfare, we’ll suffer a big loss."

"We can’t completely track how they invaded, nor how they left."

"This means all the combat data of everyone in Tangren City might have been stolen."

"In the future, we probably can’t spar in the virtual world anymore, otherwise, it’s like handing over intelligence on a silver platter."

Gao Xin nodded, for an entity the size of Tangren City, personnel rosters and combat data are critical intelligence.

Famous powerhouses are well-known to everyone, but not necessarily are all the details of their specific strengths public; some of their trump cards naturally remain secret.

And for such a large force as Tangren City, is it possible they haven’t cultivated a hidden power in secret?

The server being infiltrated and left like a sieve directly made Tangren City suspect that all data had been stolen.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be in peril.

Once a major battle occurs, if the enemy understands Tangren City, they can make targeted arrangements, naturally becoming unbeatable.

"Cough cough... It’s also possible that they haven’t had the chance to steal the data yet, so don’t be too pessimistic," Gao Xin glanced sideways at the Silver Hand squatting in a corner of the wall.

Although he could control the entire virtual world, he only skimmed the surface, and just that brief moment made him feel a bit drained of Heart Power.

Just taking over a private room tired him out like this, Gao Xin thought to himself that if he were to directly read the data from the entire virtual world, his Heart Power strength seemed not enough yet.

He probably needed to delve deeper into the understanding of the Holy Spirit for a higher form of Heart Power evolution.

Ling Sha shrugged and said, "You have to assume the worst in these situations."

"Alright, this isn’t something for us to worry about, let’s get some rest. Tomorrow we still have to fight the Oiran," she said.

Her eyes shone, seemingly even more eager than Gao Xin.

Gao Xin discussed the plans for the next day with her, then they went to sleep.

Of course, not in the same room.

Gao Xin fell soundly asleep on the bed and soon entered dreamland.

He dreamt vaguely of mountains capped with snow, a lake, and a cottage in the forest.

The Silver Hand was locked in an intense battle with a blurry figure whose face couldn’t be seen clearly.

Suddenly, the figure’s head burst open and the headless body fell.

This familiar scene startled Gao Xin sharply, bringing him back to his senses. Then, suddenly the entire scene froze.

The Silver Hand immediately looked at him, "Rat, you’re awake."

"I’m awake?" Gao Xin looked around.

This resembled the private virtual room of Wei Lan, of course without its clarity, very vague, with the background far off shimmering weirdly, constantly dissolving and recombining.

Only the Silver Hand in front of him was deep and stable.

The Silver Hand said, "It’s your first time waking up in a dream, Rat."

"Waking up in a dream?" Gao Xin gradually came to his senses.

Right, he was dreaming.

And this time, he had subjective consciousness in the dream; he was lucid dreaming.

He had dreamt before, but had only realized it upon waking up.

Some content from the dreams was forgotten, and he needed the Silver Hand to remind him to recall.

Because only the Silver Hand was lucid in dreams; after all, he was the embodiment of the subconscious. No matter how Gao Xin slept, the subconscious was awake; otherwise, wouldn’t the heart and breathing stop?

"Why have I woken up?" Gao Xin knew that dreams were not just ordinary fantasies, but were closely related to the Holy Spirit.

Before, he had wanted to lucid dream but had not succeeded, so why did it work this time?

The Silver Hand said, "How would I know? It must be related to your contact with the virtual world."

"It seems like you encountered a huge body of Holy Spirit information, and your subconscious received a mass of data."

Gao Xin was astonished, "Holy Spirit information body?"

"Is it this virtual scene?"

He had once theorized that the Holy Spirit Light shone upon the world, diverse and chaotic information like meteor showers constantly swept over the Earth.

And when a person is sleeping, if their consciousness happens to collide with a piece of that information, they dream.

The subconscious would then process these chaotic information bodies according to its own understanding, resulting in dreams.

"I understand now, the Holy Spirit information body is like a meteor shower composed of spiritual substance, constantly cascading down."

"If only a small patch is absorbed, then it merges into my soul, and I just dream without waking.

"But if it’s a large patch, so big that I am absorbed into it, then I will awaken inside it, just like waking up within the ’physical material universe,’ this vast entity."

Gao Xin suddenly realized, and it hadn’t occurred to him that the virtual world created by Xiao Ran was also a piece of Holy Spirit matter.

Or perhaps, in this universe, all metaphysical, non-physical illusory things are a part of the great Holy Spirit.

They exist in a higher dimension, and these are all high-dimensional materials.

"What about Dad and Aunt Yao?" Gao Xin noticed only the Silver Hand and a blurry, headless person.

Why weren’t Gao Jiaoji and Yao Junyan there?

The Silver Hand gave an extremely simple answer, "It’s so late, they are asleep."

Gao Xin was taken aback, "Ah? They need to sleep, too?"

The Silver Hand rolled his eyes, "They don’t have to sleep, but their routine is so regular..."
