Chapter 1068: The Gale Has Rise

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhang Zian saw the game hint. He felt that it was unexpected, but it also made sense. When Famous won the prize at the Berlin Film Festival, he gained a lot of belief power and was upgraded to the epic level. The power of belief was the experience value of the game. Although there was a gap between each level, it couldn’t hold up the large population of China. It was not boasting that it was much greater than the whole of Western Europe... Even if someone only had a little bit of strength, they could condense it into a super vigorous bomb...

Wait a minute, it seemed like he had changed to another scenario. Following that, the game displayed two more hints.

[Game Hints]: Your reincarnated dog is epic right now. After leveling up, it will become epic/legendary.

[Game Hints]: Do you want to level it up now? If you choose “no,” you can level it up at any time.

[Yes, No, Remind Me Later]

Seeing the game hints, Zhang Zian could not help but think. Famous had mentioned that it had a strange dream. It felt that its body was full of strength and confidence. Famous had thought that it could control the direction of its dream while it was still in its dream. Was that related to it reaching the standard for upgrading? Wasn’t that too much of a coincidence?

If he let it level up, it would mean that he would be setting it free for the next step... Was it a good thing or a bad thing to let it have stronger control over its dreams?

He knew the danger of being addicted to dreams. After all, many science fiction stories used VR games as an example to illustrate that point. If people indulged in dreams, it was really dangerous, because people’s desires were too strong and too complex. Any one of the seven emotions and six desires could make people sink forever. But... would Famous indulge in them?

Famous had been addicted before and had risen from hell to a happy heaven. It had fallen from heaven to a hell of amnesia. It had suffered and experienced prosperity. It had gone from a whipping dog that was an understudy to a superstar riding in the most luxurious cars, chewing the most delicious western food, tasting 1882 Lafite, wearing the most expensive diamond necklaces, and living in a luxury house that was like a palace... It could be said that whatever a dog could enjoy, it had enjoyed, and whatever a dog could suffer, it had also suffered––not in its dreams, but in reality.

But all of that did not make it feel happy. Instead, it felt pain because humans called it by a foreign name. It had had a multitude of different roles in movies but had lost itself in the end.

If every movie was a dream, then it had dreamed enough––so much so that it could describe the fickleness of the world in a sentence. As a result, Famous could probably resist the temptation of falling into its dreams. There was nothing in the dream world that could cause it to be immersed... Or, taking a step back, even if it could not resist the temptations of the dream world and was immersed in it, Zhang Zian had confidence that he could pull it out of its dream.

After hesitating a bit longer, Zhang Zian pressed “Yes.”

Once Famous had leveled up to epic/legendary, it did not have any strange feelings. It ate a dog biscuit that cleaned its mouth and then yawned as it went downstairs. Perhaps it would only notice the difference when it dreamed again.

The other end of Binhai City. Early morning.

Jiang Tianda buttoned up his sleeve as he walked downstairs. He had already changed into his suit pants and a white button-up shirt. After he put on his suit jacket, he could leave.

You’re reading on B o x n o v e l .com Thanks!

A western-style breakfast consisting of salad, toast, fried eggs, roasted sausage, and coffee had been arranged on the table, and for Snowy’s breakfast, the coffee had been replaced by orange juice.

“Snowy! Are you out of bed yet? Hurry! Come downstairs and eat!” Shi Rong yelled towards the stairs.

About half a minute later, Snowy’s lazy reply came from upstairs, “All right.”

After a few minutes, she slowly came downstairs wearing her pajamas and carrying Snowball. A few strands of Snowy’s hair curled up disobediently. It could only be imagined how bad her sleeping posture was.

Snowball’s breakfast had already been prepared in the form of ready-made canned cat food poured into a plastic bowl. Snowy put Snowball down and sat on her seat heavily, closing her eyes to continue to doze. Shi Rong started to scold and nag Snowy for going to sleep too late the night before. She nagged her until all her sleepiness was gone.

The Jiang family’s situation was similar every morning. If Snowy married into someone else’s household one day, there would be a very cold atmosphere in the morning. The old husband and wife tacitly understood each other like one’s left hand understood their right. It was unnecessary to say a word during the entire breakfast. Jiang Tianda was wondering if he wanted to recruit a son-in-law to marry into the home, but the question was, which promising boy would be willing to marry into his wife’s household?

Sigh... His expression did not change as he sighed.

Jiang Tianda had always eaten quickly. It was a habit left over from when he was in the army, and even when Shi Rong reminded him to eat slowly, he still ate his breakfast very quickly. When he was done, Snowy’s breakfast had yet to be touched at all.

He ate very cleanly and did not waste any food at all. After eating, he did not instantly leave the dining table. Instead, he held up his coffee and flipped through the newspaper. Reading newspapers was his daily compulsory chore. Although it was convenient to read news through mobile phones, some things could only be seen in newspapers––especially the core publications of the party and government agencies, which had always been an indicator of where politics and the economy were heading. Policy adjustment and economic transformation often began with signals that could be seen in the newspapers.

A cold wind had yet to move, but the cicada had already been awakened, and uncertainty would cause it to die without knowing why. In other words, a successful entrepreneur had to understand the hints between the lines. Otherwise, he would not even know he had died.

He was about to take a sip of coffee, but his hand stopped. His eyes were fixed on the article on the front page of the biggest newspaper in China. The headline read, “Ten Batches of Online Literature,” and the article had been written by an author by the name of Zhu Jisheng.

Jiang Tianda quickly looked through the article and put down the unfinished coffee. His heart had a shadow over it. He had nothing to do with network literature, but many of the views in the article were applicable to new things such as network literature and live broadcasting.

“What are you looking at me for? Is it just that my hair is sticking up?” Snowy noticed he was looking at her and pressed down heavily on the curled hair.

“Are you still going to live broadcast today?” he asked.

“Don’t worry. I don’t plan to right now.” She thought he wanted to scold her and pursed her lips unhappily.

Shi Rong hurriedly said, “Don’t go out today––it could rain. If you get wet and come down with the flu, you’ll be crying again!”

Snowy pouted. “When did I cry?”

Jiang Tianda picked up the napkin covering his legs and placed it on the table. He stood up and said, “I’m leaving. You two eat slowly.”

“Workaholic!” Snowy muttered.

Shi Rong walked him to the door and helped him put on his suit jacket. She pulled the ends of his shirt to straighten the non-existent wrinkles.

The car was already waiting outside, and his assistant helped him open the car door. The assistant said, “The speech for the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference has been prepared. It’s in the car. Please have a look.”

“Okay.” Before getting into the car, Jiang Tianda looked up at the sky and saw that it was filled with gray clouds. The sky was changing.
