Chapter 0002: The Client Who Regrets
Indeed, good morals and ethics, when detached from a stable social order, amount to nothing
"Tang Ruoyou, you haven't prepared at all?" Li Mu asked, unwilling to accept the situation.
Tang Ruoyou glared at Li Mu, displaying an attitude of indifference as if she were a dead pig unafraid of boiling water: "Even if I cannot go back, I do not want to bear Li Xunhuan's child!"
Tang Ruoyou's expression changed slightly, but she gritted her teeth and insisted, "I am a modern person, possessing knowledge and culture that is over a thousand years ahead of theirs. Even if I am left here, I can still live well, just like Qingchuan and Ruoxi!"
"Alright, I promise you," Tang Ruoyou looked at Li Mu, as if she wanted to engrave his image in her mind, gritting her teeth and saying, "I do not wish for a third person to know about what happened here"
Li Mu, with a blank expression, said: "Miss Tang, after signing the Dream Fulfillment Agreement, if your dream is not realized, both of us will be trapped in this world, and neither of us will be able to return!"
"What does it have to do with me!" Li Mu chuckled twice, masking the embarrassment in his heart, "Tang Ruoyou, the wish was made by you, the agreement was signed by you, I am merely the dream weaver helping you fulfill your wish"
Tang Ruoyou
There isn't even a sanitary napkin here! Li Mu said
Li Mu glanced at her and nodded: "Of course, you will also have your own love offspring!"
Li Mu recalled the scene when he first entered the company and reminded, "Miss Tang, you must have been transported into the company while fully conscious! Moreover, are you certain you fell asleep while drinking milk tea? I regret to inform you that this is not a dream. Do you see this protective shield? We have five minutes to transition, during which the outside world cannot affect us. After five minutes, we will truly enter the world of Xiao Li Fei Dao." We have five minutes to transition, during which the outside world cannot affect us. After five minutes, we will truly enter the world of Xiao Li Fei Dao.
In pursuit of performance, Li Mu has suppressed his conscience and intimidated his clients
A thousand miles of flying snow, the cold wind cuts like a knife
What is your name? Tang Ruoyou asked
Tang Ruoyou
"Are you deceiving me?" Tang Ruoyou looked at him, took a sip of the iced milk tea in her hand, seemingly unconcerned, "It doesn't matter if I don't go back, traveling through time is something that many people dream of!"
Li Mu silently glanced at Tang Ruoyou, temporarily suppressing his conscience
Li Xiaobai
Of course, Li Mu let out a sigh of relief and said, "We have signed an agreement."
Brush the rogue!
In the world of Xiao Li Fei Dao, there is an inn in a small town that connects the outside of the pass to the inside. After Tang Ruoyou's appearance, Li Mu's inner monologue was forcefully interrupted.
Wow
Compared to the vast future of the Dream Realization Company, what is a demolition woman!
Li Mu glanced at the Qinglian Sword in his hand and casually came up with a name
Is this not a dream?" Tang Ruoyou asked doubtfully
In the world of martial arts, names are not of great importance
"What level are you in traditional Chinese characters?" Li Mu suddenly asked
Li Mu said: "Yes"
"Disgusting?" Li Mu raised an eyebrow and said, "Miss Tang, please respect your dreams. Before this journey begins, I would like to confirm one point with you once again: regardless of how the process unfolds, our ultimate goal is for you to conceive Li Xunhuan's child. Only upon achieving this result will our agreement come to an end."
Compared to the terrifying experience of time travel, being secretly pregnant is not something that cannot be accepted; one could just consider it akin to being bitten by a mosquito. Moreover, to speak of it, that truly is her dream!
"Just follow my arrangements, and that will suffice," Li Mu said
The sensation is real, painful
Tang Ruoyou's face turned slightly pale
Li Mu was momentarily at a loss for words
Moreover, in the future, we will have to coexist with our clients in the same world. Such deceitful behavior towards clients raises the question of whether we might face their resentment.
Tang Ruoyou was crying loudly
Tang Ruoyou wore a simple ponytail and a white floral dress, presenting a fresh and cool appearance. In her hand, she even held a cup of iced milk tea
Of course, one can backtrack, but that would mean his first deal would fall through
She quietly pinched her thigh, using the most primitive method to test whether she was dreaming
Seeing the client's appearance, Li Mu understood that the worst-case scenario had occurred, and the difficulty of his task had been forced to escalate
Tang Ruoyou instinctively glanced at Zhuge Lei, who was chatting and laughing with his subordinates. He was coarse, ugly, and filthy, and even through the transparent cover, one could almost smell the stench emanating from him
... ...
Recalling the grand prospects of the Dream Realization Company and the predecessors who had failed in their tasks, Li Mu took a deep breath and steeled his resolve: "When you sign the agreement, there is no room for regret! Miss Tang Ruoyou, I had reminded you to consider carefully when signing the contract"
Li Mu, wearing a shawl wig, dressed in a Ming Dynasty-style cotton coat filled with duck down, slung a package over his shoulder, and held a beautifully designed long sword, cosplayed as a young ancient swordsman.
Ideals are beautiful, while reality is harsh
I have reminded you many times," Li Mu said helplessly, "and you took away a contract.
Idiot
"Do you see that chubby man with the purplish-red face? That is Zhuge Lei from the Golden Lion Escort Agency. If he forces you to do something against your will after we go out, what means will you use to resist?" Li Mu asked, pointing at the character Zhuge Lei at the edge of the table.
The Wan Jie Yuan Meng Company has prepared for the intern dream weavers the same kind of superficial items.
Tang Ruoyou was somewhat excited: "Have we really traveled through time?"
Do you have any silver? Li Mu asked
Tang Ruoyou did not answer Li Mu; she recalled another, more terrifying matter and asked in a trembling voice: "Is the agreement in my mind also real"
Tang Ruoyou looked around the environment with a silly expression and asked, "What are we preparing for?"
Tang Ruoyou asked with a frown: "Real name?"
Tang Ruoyou
Not exceeding one kilogram said Li Mu
"Crossing over?" Li Mu snorted, looking at the innocent-looking cowgirl. "Miss Tang, since you once wished to bear a child of Li Xunhuan, you should understand what kind of world this is! Might makes right. For those living here, killing is a daily occurrence, there are no laws, no morals. Of course, there is also no electricity or WiFi; you can try to imagine what life is like here."
The inexperience of the intern dream weaver is vividly manifested at this moment, as he failed to emphasize to the clients the dangers and realities of traversing the world
Tang Ruoyou
Under the aggressive questioning of Li Mu, Tang Ruoyou suddenly realized that having left her familiar environment, she was nothing at all; the world of transmigration novels was nothing but a deception
This is the weapon specially selected by Li Mu to complement the functionality of being disarmed with a 100% success rate.
Tang Ruoyou fell silent, glancing at the martial artists in the inn, then at Li Mu, her expression one of struggle as she made a difficult choice
Li Mu cast a disdainful glance at the softness close to his arm and smiled slightly: "Not good!"
In the world of rivers and lakes, a pseudonym is of utmost importance
However, in his view, the notion of failure is not permitted
Like internship skills
You are ruining my future
"Miss Tang, you can still cry for two more minutes," Li Mu raised his wrist and checked the time, "In two minutes, the protective shield will fail, and we will enter the world of Little Li Flying Dagger. I will ask you once more, are you sure you want to give up your wish?"
"Alright! Let me correct what I just said." Li Mu glanced at her, smiling like a devil, "It is you who cannot go back. As a Dream Weaver, I can only count this as one failed task at most, resulting in one less commission for me; I can still return."
Is the spirit of the contract so worthless in your heart
However, in the event that one encounters a high-level immortal cultivation world in the future, filled with various sorceries and supernatural arts, where knowing a name can lead to curses, using a pseudonym can significantly reduce many unnecessary troubles
I am Li Mu, an intern at the Wan Jie Yuan Meng Company. My current task is to deliver a girl to the master of sending girls, Li Xunhuan
Moreover, with your capricious demeanor, can there be any compensation
Li Mu was at a loss for words, contemplating his current situation
The most crucial point is that one has not awakened from the dream
What kind of compensation can match the position at Dream Company
Can I bring things from this world back to Earth? Perhaps moved by Li Mu's words, or perhaps drawn by the allure of crossing over, Tang Ruoyou wiped away her tears and began to seek benefits from it
foolish customer
Five minutes of isolation protection, they can see people from another world, but those outside cannot reach them
Perhaps the failures of our predecessors are not solely due to the level of difficulty, but also attributable to the clients
"It is useless to remember," Li Mu said in a low voice, with a hint of sarcasm, "I am not afraid to tell you that this face is also fake! Miss Tang, our relationship is a one-time collaboration, and after the agreement is fulfilled, there will be no opportunity to meet again."
He resolutely refused: "Unless you achieve your dreams, there is no way to make you leave this world"
What a deception!
Only dating without having children
"But I thought that was a dream." Tang Ruoyou looked around, opened her arms, and excitedly spun around, "It should still be a dream now! It's freezing cold outside, yet I don't feel cold at all! What an interesting dream! The plot actually connects, it's so amazing."
Li Mu smiled and said, "It's fake!"
The Qinglian Sword is a prop provided by the company, resembling game merchandise found on certain online shopping platforms. It measures 1.2 meters in length and is forged strictly according to the design in the game, as ornate as possible.
The tried-and-true ultimate technique unexpectedly failed, and Tang Ruoyou forcefully shook off Li Mu's arm, angrily saying: "Why are you so stubborn? How can you force me to do such things? I'm still a girl, you know? I absolutely do not want to become pregnant before marriage with a stranger's child!"
What is the formula for soap? Li Mu asked
"You will ensure my safety, won't you?" Tang Ruoyou asked
Is there really no other way? Tang Ruoyou felt a bit wronged and tentatively discussed with Li Mu, "Think of something for me. Let's find a loophole in the contract; perhaps we can avoid it! I am the second generation of property developers and have divided twenty-three apartments in Shengjing. If you let me go back, I will compensate you for all your losses."
She gritted her teeth and glared at Li Mu: "Scumbag!"
Although it is my dream," Tang Ruoyou looked at the fresh world outside, "when it comes to actually implementing it, I still feel so ashamed!
Tang Ruoyou
Li Mu curled his lips: "Has it been verified?"
Wake up, this is the real world of martial arts, not a television drama adorned with a beautiful facade. If you have read the works of certain dark fantasy authors in the martial arts genre, you would know that the tragic fates of those female heroes are the reality. In the real world, rebels will not spare the female lead's first time for the protagonist..." Li Mu said languidly, "Assuming you are extremely lucky and manage to escape the clutches of Zhuge Lei, in this world without navigation, you probably wouldn't even recognize the way! I think freezing to death would be the best outcome, of course, there is also the possibility of starving to death. I do not believe you possess the ability to survive in the wild."
At that time, I thought I was dreaming. You know, people in dreams are not so rational! Tang Ruoyou watched the martial artists outside as if observing monkeys. She leaned closer to Li Mu, grabbed his arm, and with her big eyes blinking in plea, said, "Young man, let's just date Li Xunhuan and not have children, okay?"
The two individuals stared at each other with wide eyes
Imagining the possibility of being caught by him, Tang Ruoyou couldn't help but shiver, her small face turning pale
Li Mu pierced the beautiful soap bubble that Tang Ruoyou had imagined with the cruel reality, one needle at a time
Tang Ruoyou's eyes sparkled as she asked with a tentative tone, "Can I really have a passionate romance with the handsome Li Xunhuan?"
Cough!" Li Mu cleared his throat lightly, his gaze flickering uncertainly, "Miss Tang, to transcend time and space to realize one's dreams is a rare fortune that comes once in a millennium. How many people wish for it but cannot attain it. Once your dream is realized, it will become a beautiful memory for your entire life. If you regret it, a few pills can solve all your problems! At that time, you can continue to live as a carefree demolition woman, happily enjoying life for the rest of your days. If you don't speak of it, no one will ever know what happened!"
Hmph! Tang Ruoyou looked seriously at Li Mu's face and said coldly, "I will remember you"
Tang Ruoyou's face suddenly turned red, and she glared at Li Mu, saying: "When I am yearning for something beautiful, could you please refrain from constantly bringing up those disgusting matters!"
Tang Ruoyou tentatively asked, "Can I change my mind?"
At this moment, Li Mu resembled a scoundrel who drags good people into the water
Li Mu helplessly said, "Miss Tang, have you never questioned how strange it is to have an extra agreement in your mind?"
This sentence became the last straw that broke Tang Ruoyou's back
