10 AM.

Jiang Chen logged into "Gods" right on time.

With a beam of light, he appeared in the mansion of Wind Moon City.

Around him, and in the Main City Square, beams of light kept flashing as countless players logged in.

The previously somewhat empty surroundings suddenly became bustling.

A few seconds later, Jiang Chen received two friend messages.

[Qing Ying: Brother Mortal World, I'm online!]

[Tao Xiaoyao: Brother Mortal World, good morning!]

"Meet at the mansion entrance, we're heading to Snowstorm City!"

Jiang Chen immediately sent a voice message to the two girls.

Soon, the three of them gathered and walked towards the Teleportation Array in the main city.

"Brother Mortal World, did you watch that video? The one on the forums, where the Adventurers' Home guild entered the dream."

Qing Ying asked as they walked.

"Yeah, I saw it."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Is it true that the game can affect reality?"

Qing Ying asked curiously.

"The officials said it's a super-dimensional power, though they didn't specify how it affects reality."

Jiang Chen paused and continued, "But those who fell into the dream in the game couldn't wake up in reality either."

"But... that's too unbelievable!"

Qing Ying still couldn't believe it.

"Is this really just a game?"

Tao Xiaoyao also looked serious.

"Don't think too much about it, or you'll just scare yourself."

Jiang Chen smiled and continued, "The government allows this game to exist, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Yeah, Brother Mortal World is right, nothing to be afraid of!"

Qing Ying raised her fist to cheer herself up.

"True..."

Tao Xiaoyao nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Brother Mortal World, do we really have a way to deal with the ruins of the ancient Dreamland City?"

"I watched that video carefully yesterday. I guess that as long as we enter a certain range of the ruins, it will trigger the dream."

Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

"And after entering the dream, I couldn't find any flaws in the floating city except..."

Tao Xiaoyao recalled the images in her mind as she spoke slowly.

"Except what?"

Jiang Chen asked with interest.

"Except for the mansion on the top level, which keeps changing position slightly, I didn't see anything different."

Tao Xiaoyao replied.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed.

Goodness, you've already found the key issue!

"Maybe the answer lies in that mansion?"

Jiang Chen replied calmly.

"But... there's no staircase connecting to that mansion, how do we get up there?"

Tao Xiaoyao thought quickly.

"No staircase? Maybe it's just invisible?"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen arrived at the main city's Teleportation Array.

"Invisible?"

Tao Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, "I think I get it!"

"What are you two talking about?"

Qing Ying looked at them in confusion, feeling like she couldn't understand Chinese anymore.

"Let's go."

Jiang Chen stood in the Teleportation Array, selected the destination, and his figure disappeared.

The two girls quickly followed.

[You have been teleported to Snowstorm City!]

With the system prompt, Jiang Chen's vision blurred, and he arrived at the Teleportation Array in Snowstorm City.

As soon as he got there, he felt a bone-chilling wind.

The surroundings were covered in silver, with thick snow on various buildings.

Some buildings were even entirely sculpted from ice, shining brilliantly under the sunlight, looking magnificent!

What a beautiful snowy scene!

"So pretty, but so cold!"

Qing Ying's voice sounded as she looked around, shivering from the cold.

Tao Xiaoyao also couldn't help but blow on her hands.

"It's really cold. Let's buy some local specialties first, or we'll be frozen stiff before we reach the ruins."

Jiang Chen knew that staying in Snowstorm City for more than 30 minutes would cause continuous health loss due to the cold.

Although the loss wasn't much, the constant cold would be extremely uncomfortable!

"Specialties?"

Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao looked curious as they followed Jiang Chen.

Soon.

They arrived at the commercial street of Snowstorm City, in front of a shop called "Snowstorm Tavern."

Jiang Chen quickly walked in and approached the counter.

The tavern owner, wearing a cotton coat and felt hat, was standing there.

He looked at Jiang Chen and asked with a smile, "Respected adventurer, what do you need?"

Jiang Chen said directly, "30 bottles of Scorching Heart Wine."

Owner: "10 silver coins per bottle, 3 gold coins in total!"

"Here!"

Jiang Chen immediately paid 3 gold coins.

30 small bottles appeared on the counter.

[You have obtained Scorching Heart Wine ×30!]

[Scorching Heart Wine: Drinking it protects the heart from the cold, lasting 30 minutes.]

Then, Jiang Chen gave each girl ten bottles of Scorching Heart Wine.

"Gulp!"

Jiang Chen took a small bottle and drank it all in one go.

Immediately, a warm current surged from his throat to his heart.

His chest also became warm.

Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao followed suit, drinking a whole bottle of Scorching Heart Wine.

"So spicy!"

"Cough..."

For a moment, both girls' faces turned red.

"Just a sip will do, you don't have to drink it all, the effect is the same."

Jiang Chen smiled and turned to walk towards the Main City Square.

"Brother Mortal World did it on purpose!"

Qing Ying pouted and muttered softly.

"But my chest does feel warm!"

Tao Xiaoyao blinked, finding it quite magical.

Soon.

The three arrived at the Main City Square.

Through the exit Teleportation Array, they reached the north gate of Snowstorm City!

At the city gate, there were many people leaving the city.

Some were even looking for team members at the gate.

"Forming a team to explore the ruins of the ancient Dreamland City, anyone want to join? I'm a top-notch expert, you won't regret it!"

A young man with yellow hair and a carefree attitude was shouting not far away.

He caught Jiang Chen's attention.

"Dashing Young Master Leng?"

Jiang Chen paused slightly.

At the same time, many players around also looked at Jiang Chen and his group.

"It's the First Kill team!"

"Of course, they've all reached level 20, they must be heading to the ruins of the ancient Dreamland City!"

"Did you watch that video of the 'National Server's Number One Priest' yesterday?"

"No, I was focused on the super-dimensional power, what about it?"

"Just search for it, keywords: God Chen, National Server's Number One Priest, sweeping through major guilds!"

Many people were whispering from a distance.

Suddenly, almost everyone at the city gate looking for a team focused on Jiang Chen and his group.

Some even walked over to ask, "God Mortal World, are you going to the ruins of the ancient Dreamland City? Can we join you?"

"God Chen, I'm your fan, can I take a photo with you?"

A petite female player quickly ran over.

"Move aside, we're leaving!"

Qing Ying immediately became unhappy and stood in front of Jiang Chen.

However, more people came over, wanting to go to the ruins with Jiang Chen and his group.

"It seems the super-dimensional power has attracted many players."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

He knew that most players were here out of curiosity.

Curiosity killed the cat!

Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly and said to the crowd, "Please make way, heroes."

On the other side.

Dashing Young Master Leng also stopped shouting and noticed that most people were heading towards Jiang Chen.

Seeing their enthusiastic expressions, Dashing Young Master Leng pursed his lips disdainfully, "National Server's Number One Priest? Hmph!"

He quickly walked towards Jiang Chen.

"Leng, what are you doing? Don't cause trouble!"

Xiao Wei's voice sounded nearby. She looked at Dashing Young Master Leng and exclaimed, "I agreed to explore the ruins with you, but if you cause trouble, I'm not going!"

"Sister Xiao Wei, I won't cause trouble, I just want to ask him something!"

Dashing Young Master Leng replied and walked up to Jiang Chen.

"Why are you the National Server's Number One Priest?"

He looked at Jiang Chen, unconvinced, "I've seen a priest ten times stronger than you!"

In his mind, the Number One Priest could only be the person with the white mask.

As soon as he said this, the surroundings fell silent.

People nearby looked at Dashing Young Master Leng in surprise.

Even Jiang Chen was stunned.
