I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

He composed himself and focused his gaze on the stunningly beautiful young woman before him.

Despite the barrier between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds, the iconic winged ears and the classic performance outfit he had only seen in online concert projections instantly made him recognize the other person.

"Are you... Miss Robin?"

Qiong had watched the Robin's concert live on the interstellar network.

That voice, kissed by angels, can heal ears that have gone deaf from listening to Kun Ge's songs, even with just a soft hum.

The world-renowned music superstar is not someone whose fame is undeserved.

"it's me."

Robin wasn't surprised to be recognized; in Pinocchio, her fame is practically synonymous with a landmark.

"Phew, I'm glad you're alright."

Robin breathed a sigh of relief. Although the young man in front of her knew her, he was not a fanatical fan, which made her feel much more relaxed.

"This is the boundary between reality and memory, a dream realm."

The robin explained softly.

"Is this your first time visiting Pinocone?"

"People who set foot in the Asdna system for the first time may experience some special adaptive reactions when their bodies are suddenly exposed to a high concentration of memory matter, such as directly entering a dream fragment like you."

As she said this, a hint of curiosity and surprise flickered in the depths of her eyes, which reflected the lake.

Normally, people who are new to the Asdna system will enter the same dream, so why did this young man enter her private dream bubble?

This is illogical.

The aura surrounding the young man was stable, without any 'noise'...

Was it a complete accident?

"Whoosh! So, I'm already in Pinocchio's dream right now?"

Qiong stood up and carefully sensed her surroundings.

"don’t worry."

The robin's soft voice comforted the guests who had suffered an accident, its sound carrying a soothing power.

"Soon you will wake up from this dream, forget everything that happened here, and I can send you away...?"

But Qiong's actions brought her to an abrupt halt.

Qiong stared at the wall for two seconds, pondered for a moment, then took two steps back, took a short running start, and rushed towards the wall!

"Depend on!"

The expected smooth sailing didn't happen. Fortunately, Qiong reacted quickly enough and managed a slightly hasty backflip, managing to land on both feet and regain her balance.

"Isn't this a dream? Why can't I even do something as basic as walking on a wall?"

The robin couldn't help but chuckle:

"Have you heard about your dreams from a friend?"

"It is indeed possible to walk on walls in a dream, but you need a dream bubble bridge, or your own private dream bubble."

After all, if everyone could freely climb walls and ceilings in public places, the scene would be extremely chaotic.

"If you want to experience the wonder of a dream, you can check into the hotel this morning and enter through the Dream Pool..."

This unexpected turn of events can be considered a matter of fate. Besides, he's not a fanatical fan who's difficult to get along with, so Robin thinks she can try being a guide.

Even though the other person will forget about it later.

This can be considered as giving guests a good first dream experience.

Then... she fell silent again.

"Miss Robin, please watch closely as I transform!"

The gray-haired youth suddenly turned around, his face serious and his eyes resolute, as if he were going to participate in a decisive battle.

"...?"

The robin twitched its wings and ears, looking slightly bewildered.

W-what?

Then, she saw Qiong assume a stance, her hands loosely gripping her waist, then one hand clenched into a fist and brought to her waist while the other swung across her body, before her hands were slightly spread to the sides.

"henshin~!"

The gesture was ambiguous, yet a radiant light emanated from the body.

The robin squinted instinctively, and when the light faded, the gray-haired youth had vanished.

Instead, a tiny mouse, no bigger than the palm of her hand, appeared.

The mouse was dark brown all over, except for its belly and the inside of its ears, which were light brown. It was human-shaped and stood on two legs.

Although she is a girl, the robin often goes to planets where disasters have occurred to help people in distress, so she is not afraid of mice.

Especially the little mouse was hopping around greeting her and whistling.

"You...you were just now?"

Then, the robin saw the mouse pull out a piece of paper and pen that was much bigger than itself from somewhere, write 'Jerry', and pat its chest.

"Mr. Jerry?"

The robin stared blankly.

She grew up in Pinocchio, what hasn't she seen in her dreams?

She had never seen anything like it before!

"Ah...this...?"

Robin's beautiful eyes widened, and her slender hands, encased in delicate silk gloves, instinctively covered her slightly parted lips, her face filled with disbelief and bewilderment.

This surprise even gave her a touch of adorable dazedness on her delicate face.

This is Pinocchio, a temple of dreams.

However, even dreams must adhere to basic laws!

Dreams are not whimsical illusions; most of their physical rules are no different from those of the real world. Only a small part is carefully crafted by dream architects to make them more suitable for the dream world.

There are indeed game experience zones in the dream world adapted from classic animations, where participants can temporarily transform into game protagonists through special equipment and immerse themselves in the storyline.

However, once you leave that limited game area, the transformation effect will immediately disappear.

So, what we see before us...

It's definitely not the rules of the dream itself that are at work.

But what's the deal with this Mr. Jerry...?

Even the robin is numb.

As an interstellar superstar, she believed she had witnessed the diversity of all races in the universe, but there was absolutely no race that could freely switch between human form and rodent form.

Just as the robin fell silent, beginning to consider whether to urgently call the [Family] to check the dream state.

The little brown, furry mouse moved.

It first spun around quickly in place a few times, then jumped around happily a few times, and deliberately faked a fall, landing on the ground with a thud, as if it was adjusting to its current body.

The robin stared in disbelief.

Then, the energetic little mouse looked around, fixed its gaze in a certain direction, and took short strides, trotting towards the magnificent, tightly closed door of the room.

"Mr. Jerry?"

The robin tentatively opened its mouth:

"Do you... want to leave here?"

She had a strange feeling that Mr. Jerry, after turning into a mouse, seemed to have a different temperament than the gray-haired, golden-eyed youth he had been before.

Upon hearing this, Qiong Jerry stopped, turned around, gave the robin a bright, mouse-like smile, and nodded his little head vigorously.

"Do you need me to open... the door... for you!?"

The robin had barely uttered the word "open," and the last syllable was still lingering in the air, when the small brown figure strode briskly toward the crack in the center of the tightly closed door.

Then, it just swaggered right through!

"?"

At that moment, the robin's mind seemed to automatically load that classic, soulful, questioning sound effect from the short video.

She blinked incredulously and rubbed her eyes hard.

Is she dazzled?

Or is there really a bug in the dream system?

How did we get there?

No, is it really over?

"Mr. Jerry!"

The robin hurriedly took two steps forward, reached out and pushed open the heavy door, its eyes eagerly fixed on the smooth ground outside.

Then, she saw something even more bizarre, a sight that made her question the meaning of life.

The cute brown mouse hadn't disappeared; it was still just outside the door.

But it is no longer a round, three-dimensional creature; it has become a thin piece of paper, as if it were mercilessly crushed by a heavy truck carrying tens of thousands of tons and sent to the second dimension.

A mouse silhouette, devoid of thickness and two-dimensionality, walks nonchalantly on a magnificent carpet.

"Am I...am I dreaming?"

The robin murmured to itself.

"Oh right, I really am dreaming..."

But this doesn't make sense!

She shook her head violently, trying to dispel the feeling of unreality.

This strange phenomenon made her, a native of Pinocone, begin to suspect that something was wrong with the underlying layers of her dreams.

No, I need to verify this.

As for how to verify it?

Under Qiong Jerry's astonished gaze, "Bang!" Robin decisively slammed shut the door where the mouse clippings had just been made.

She wanted to test the properties of this door herself!

The elegant superstar took a deep breath as he faced the tightly closed, ornate door. The robin, ignoring the door's presence, took a firm step toward it.

boom!

A dull thud echoed down the corridor.

Two seconds later, the door was pushed open again, and Qiong saw the robin squatting pitifully on the ground, one silk glove covering its red forehead, the other hand unconsciously rubbing it, its delicate eyebrows furrowed in pain.

"Hahahaha—"

Qiong Jerry, as if he had witnessed a hilarious stage play, slapped his thigh hard and laughed heartily.

"Mr. Jerry..."

The robin lowered its head in embarrassment and shyness.

She initially determined that the problem wasn't with the dream, but with the man.

After laughing enough, Qiong Jerry stopped what he was doing. He peeked out at the magnificent golden corridor in front of him, then looked down at his short legs, which were shorter than a person's fingers combined, and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Immediately, it became clear that a light bulb had appeared above their heads.
