Chapter 2: Adventures in a Dream

The campus is large, yet there are not many people at this time. The new semester has just begun, and most of the returning students do not have classes, while the number of new students who have arrived on campus is relatively small

The efficiency is so low that continuing to study seems meaningless. Song Hao closed the book and prepared to leave, but at that moment, a wave of drowsiness struck him

A voice from the other end was that of a middle-aged man, carrying a hint of ferocity: "Kid, although my shop is not large, it has always been delicious and hygienic. What do you mean by giving me a bad review?"

He tilted his head, feeling dizzy, no, he had fallen asleep. After a while, the sound of snoring could be heard.

My roommates have not returned yet, so I will go for a walk; perhaps it will improve my mood a little.

Though it is said so, he still could not help but open his right hand and take a look. The skin of his palm was no different from the past. If the ring were truly to melt, it would be impossible for it to leave no trace at all.

Compared to the final exams, now is the golden time to go to the library—there is no need to reserve a seat

Although Song Hao is only in his second year of university and there will be many opportunities for examinations in the future, it is wise to prepare in advance. If he can pass the CET-4 now, the chances of passing the CET-6 in the future will significantly increase, which undoubtedly offers many advantages when seeking employment

Wiping the corner of his mouth, Song Hao's expression appeared somewhat dazed. He had not been to an internet café for an all-nighter recently, so why was he inexplicably feeling drowsy?

... ...

How unfortunate, could it be that the posture I took when getting out of bed this morning was incorrect, otherwise how could such a thing have happened

However, Song Hao did not hesitate, picked up his phone, and pressed the answer button. After all, he did not receive many calls, and he could not even use up the minutes included in his plan, not to mention that answering a call was free.

Just now ... ...

The uncle is also quite exhausted. Not to mention these two hundred words, the visually striking negative review hanging in the comments section is too glaring, beautiful to the point of being tragically stunning. Just the fact that he suffers from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder is something he cannot accept. After all, he aims to maintain a perfect 100% positive rating as a culinary master.

Even if you occupy three spaces by yourself, lying down to watch is not a problem... Of course, the premise is that you are not afraid of the strange gazes from your classmates and do not feel ashamed

... ...

It is strange, could it be that my posture while opening the English book today is also problematic

A pleasant ringtone echoed in my ears

Song Hao first felt a bit dazed, and then his face visibly turned pale at a rapid pace. Could it be that what just happened was not an illusion, nor a nightmare of his own making

Song Hao shook his head and glanced at the time. He had just lost consciousness, and only five minutes had passed. He couldn't help but doubt that he had merely fallen asleep and had a dream.

It is evident that the balance between work and rest is of utmost importance; merely staying cooped up in the dormitory is not as simple as just being in the late stages of laziness.

Feeling restless, Song Hao decided to go for a walk

It is related to the dream he just had

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck in his heart, leaving him momentarily stunned. Subsequently, Song Hao picked up his phone again, opened the food delivery app, and found the small restaurant where he had just placed an order. Below, there was indeed a beautifully written negative review.

As a sophomore, Song Hao has already explored every corner of his alma mater, and he is even well-acquainted with the roads of several nearby universities.

It is not an illusion, it is not an illusion

Song Hao silently hung up the phone; he had no mood to chat idly with the other party at this moment

He has no impression at all; his family background is average, and he is not a compulsive shopper. Apart from some necessary daily necessities and clothing, he rarely visits shopping websites

He glanced at his phone; only half an hour had passed, yet there was a conspicuous puddle of saliva where he had just been lying down asleep.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the library at this time. Although two girls cast disdainful glances, it merely resulted in a change of reading room. If it were during finals, Song Hao's actions would surely provoke public outrage, and a real-life PK would even be a possibility

Having sat for so long, I surprisingly did not remember a single word

Song Hao murmured to himself, he also wanted to go to the hospital for an examination, but he would most likely be regarded as a lunatic

Indeed, it must be so; finding a ring in the food is already too absurd. If the ring were to melt, would it not be akin to a tale from the Arabian Nights

Song Hao is not that thick-skinned, nor is he bored to that extent; he takes out his English book and begins to review.

It is indeed a strange matter

He suddenly fell into a daze

Could it be that I have read too many novels, to the point of experiencing hallucinations

If he is a fraud, Song Hao does not mind discussing ideals and life, teaching the other party how to be a person in every minute.

Indeed, self-study, compared to the arduous life of a senior in high school, university life is relatively relaxed. However, it also faces challenges such as examinations for qualifications, like the CET-4 and the Level 2 Computer Examination. If one cannot pass these, not only will it be difficult to find a job in the future, but even when applying for offers, one may easily be looked down upon. The question of whether one can obtain a degree certificate upon graduation is also a significant issue.

Song Hao is not an academic achiever, but he understands the difficulty of finding a job in the current environment. Therefore, it is essential to quickly acquire more skills.

Song Hao felt a sense of shame; it is not unusual to drool in one's sleep, but to drool this much makes one want to find a hole to burrow into

Learning a foreign language well is quite simple yet also tedious; the most direct and straightforward method is to memorize vocabulary.

One must believe in science

Fortunately, there are no discomforts in the body

Every type of food is extremely delicious. As an immortal, he indulges in a feast. Perhaps it is due to the pleasure he experiences in his dreams while eating, that he, in his sleep, unconsciously drools all over the ground.

"Hey, kid, speak up." The voice on the other end of the phone grew increasingly fierce: "Even if you're going to leave a bad review, at least provide a decent reason. You actually said you found a ring in your food..."

In the dream, he transformed into an immortal, capable of soaring through the skies and traversing the earth. The dream was filled not only with talismans and magical treasures but also with an endless array of delicious food

Oh, did I just fall asleep?

Negative review

Song Hao's face was filled with confusion; he was not an academic achiever, and his talent for languages was merely average. However, he prided himself on having a good memory, as he could usually memorize dozens of words after half an hour of studying. Yet today—he found it completely impossible to absorb any of the material.

Song Hao looked down and saw an unfamiliar number, which had been labeled as a delivery service by two hundred seventy-three people. Could it be from some shopping website again

Ha ha, it must be a dream, it certainly is a dream

The worldview established over the past twenty years tells Song Hao that so-called supernatural events only exist in novels; reality is quite mundane, and one should not believe in magic, martial arts, or anything related to time travel.

Upon reflection, Song Hao's mood instantly improved, after all, he was not an overly idealistic youth and had long surpassed the age of indulging in fantasies, thus he would not easily believe in such supernatural events

Did you buy something yourself

The scenery of the school is quite nice. Today's universities all have spacious areas, and as for the landscape, it is comparable to that of a park. The buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, and the greenery coverage is sufficient, making it pleasing to the eye. However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, one can grow tired of it after a year.

The image and text are rich, and the ring above is impossible to ignore.

There is evidence in the form of images, it turns out it was not a dream, the ring truly existed, but where has it gone now? Could it have truly merged into my palm, just as I remember it?

Thus, it is said to be a way to relax, yet there are not many good places to go. After wandering for a short while, he arrived at the library to prepare for self-study
