Chapter 801 - 544: Husbands’ Third Trial—Dream (Part 2)

They transformed into the shapes of a lion, a tiger, and a leopard.

And their surfaces gradually became tangible; except for still being white, in other ways, they couldn’t be seen as constructed from clouds.

"Starting a fight right off the bat, huh."

Seeing the commotion, Li Pu murmured to himself.

[Faced with the appearing Cloud Beast Guard, you intend to make the following choice]

Once this line of text appeared, he found his body unable to move.

[1. Attack]

[2. Defend]

[3. Run away]

[4. Or if you have your own idea, decide ________]

At this moment, Li Pu saw a dialogue box exclusively for himself.

And like a sudden flash of inspiration, a piece of information poured into his mind, and he instantly understood that he could complete his answer with a mere thought.

With a thought, he chose answer 1.

Below answer 1, there were many secondary options.

Once the selection was complete, his body moved uncontrollably.

Raising his hand, three waves of tearing force were released.

Splurt!

The physique of the lion, tiger, and leopard was not strong, and they were torn apart on the spot.

They didn’t even have time to take any action or emit a wail before disappearing outright.

They turned into clusters of small fragmented white clouds and re-integrated into the clouds on the ground.

[Quiet!]

Fu Fu: Master, I also want to learn this move!

Fu Fu had been pining for the stage 3 [Gravity Field] technique for a long time.

"Just practice your kung fu diligently; Immortal Technique is not suitable for you."

Even if Li Pu wanted to teach, it couldn’t possibly be learned.

[With your formidable strength, you easily defeated the Cloud Beast Guard]

At this point, a new line of text appeared.

[Faced with the boundless sea of clouds, you intend to make the following choice]

[1. Climb the Stairway to the Clouds, bravely heading upwards]

The cloud in front of them began to change.

Puff, puff, puff puff puff.

A staircase made of clouds was formed, leading to another cloud above.

[2. You have acrophobia and feel safer the lower you are]

Puff, puff, puff puff puff.

The cloud ground opened a hole, revealing a staircase leading to the clouds below.

[3. Or if you have your own idea, decide ________]

"Is this some sort of text-based roguelike mode?"

"I choose 3, rest in place for 5 minutes."

He decided to give it a try.

As a result, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds... it seemed like nothing happened.

He simply sat down in earnest.

This cloud was soft, and it was quite comfortable to sit on.

[After 5 minutes, you have rested and feel re-energized]

minutes later, new text popped up.

"Can it really be like this..."

Li Pu hadn’t expected this.

The dream lasts for 7 days, so he wasn’t in a rush.

He decided to explore thoroughly before proceeding.

"Choose 3, I decide to teleport to the final reward location."

After thinking, he attempted to exploit a glitch.

After inputting the decision, he was still in the same spot.

[Your attempt to cheat has been sanctioned]

Accompanied by the new text, a bolt of lightning struck his head.

Crash!

Li Pu immediately felt refreshed, and a cool sensation on his body.

"An unexpected twist, it seems."

Failing to use a major BUG, he discovered a minor one.

He tried several cheating methods consecutively, but the outcomes didn’t change.

Each one resulted in the same five-thunder strike, with no other punitive measures.

Now, Li Pu felt relieved.

It seemed like he had found an infinite health recovery bug.

However, wanting to keep advancing seemed only possible by choosing 1 or 2.

"As the saying goes, people ascend higher, water flows lower."

"I choose otherwise."

So he chose to move downward.

After making the choice, he and Fu Fu’s bodies uncontrollably walked into the cloud hole.

[This cloud layer is overly loose in structure]

[Then you felt a lightness underfoot]

As soon as they steadied themselves, new text appeared.

Thus, a man and a husband fell directly through the cloud layer, plummeting downwards.

"Skip a stage?"

Li Pu didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise.

However, the result wasn’t as he imagined, since they couldn’t see any new cloud layers below them.

[Unfortunately, you didn’t land on a new cloud]

[Facing a high-altitude fall, you plan to make the following choice]

[1. Give up and let yourself splatter on the ground like a meat patty (start over from stage 1)]

[2. High-altitude fall is just a small case; you decide to________]

"Is there even a choice? Of course, I’m going to fly."

Li Pu finished choosing, and the buoyancy field automatically appeared, supporting both him and Fu Fu.

[Quiet!]

The sense of security upon landing made Fu Fu breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now, the two choices it faced were "give up and fall to death" and "you decide to________".

To be frank, no matter which it chose, it would be game over for it, luckily there’s a Summoner.

After standing for a few seconds, a new problem appeared.

[You luckily survived]

"What’s with calling it luck, hey."

Li Pu was a bit upset; after all, he survived by skill.

[Coincidentally, a floating island drifted by in the distance]

[You plan to make the following choice]

[1. Seize the opportunity to land on the floating island]

[2. Wait for the next floating island]

[3. Or do you have your own idea, so you decide to________]

Since entering this world, Fu Fu also had to face many text options.

However, due to the contract relationship, it had to follow Li Pu in major decisions.

"Let’s check out the island, choose 1."

Li Pu entered the answer, and then his body automatically walked towards the island on air.

Upon getting closer, they discovered the floating island was flying at great speed.

So fast that it was hard to land on.

But there was no need for Li Pu to worry; they steadily landed on solid ground.

It seems this automation does have its conveniences.

So before new text appeared, he began to observe around.

Unlike the monotonous clouds, this floating island was full of life, with trees, lakes, and some bizarre but clearly harmless Small Animals, and even...a person?

"Hmm?"

The sudden encounter with someone made Li Pu slightly stunned.

Although it looked human, the reality was quite different from what he knew as human.

The other’s mouth structure was slightly protruding, with high brow ridges, a beard, resembling an ape’s face.

His hands were long, and when hunched, the back of his hands could almost touch the ground.

The main reason he thought the other was human was because the guy was wearing clothes.

Even though to his eyes it looked like bizarre attire from another civilization, it was undeniably clothing.

In contrast, he himself wore nothing, resembling more of an animal.

"Damn hairless beasts, don’t think you can occupy my territory!"

Unexpectedly, the other really misunderstood.

Seeing him raise both hands, showing a posture to charge over.

However, in an instant, time and space seemed to freeze.

[Facing the attack of an unknown object, you plan to make the following choice]

[1. Brother, have you eaten? If not, eat my fist, and punch him away]

[2. Mock and humiliate his appearance, then punch him away]

[3. Pretend to talk with him, take the chance to punch him away]

[4. Defend first, then punch him away]

[5. Or maybe you have another idea, so you decide to________]

"Are you holding a grudge with the Sleep God or something."

Seeing the screen full of options to "punch him away", Li Pu was speechless.

Since the floating island wasn’t big, if he really punches the other away, that’s 100% him getting knocked off the island.

Clearly, he had his own idea.

The other could speak, so obviously, he could be communicated with.

He chose to stand his ground, intending to communicate with him.

[Quiet!]

However, as soon as he completed his choice, he saw Fu Fu’s figure rush out.

Its option differed from Li Pu’s.

Instead of "punching him away," it was "spar with him."

In fact, besides sleeping, its other hobby as a Kung Fu beast was sparring with any humanoid object.

And the choice it made was to actively engage.

So the scene that Li Pu saw was Fu Fu starting a fight with the other.

As a spectator, he didn’t encounter the various text options like the involved parties.

So from his perspective, the fight seemed rather smooth.

"This guy... seems to have some skill."

He then noticed that both sides were giving as good as they got.

The long-armed man even slightly suppressed Fu Fu a bit.
