Don't follow the rules

Chapter 498: Haojiu Home Furnishing City (Seventy-four)
The afternoons at Dreamcore never seem to pass.

From the time when No. 1 entered the dream core until now, he has been searching in a daze for several hours. Although the progress in finding the person is almost zero, it is at least time for him to have some snacks and afternoon tea.

But the time here seems to be an old photo sandwiched in plastic. The light above is always projected down at a vertical angle. After a few hours, the core of the dream is still afternoon.

"I'm hungry." Yingying announced loudly, then stopped and turned her head to look at Anhan.

An Han choked: "Why are you looking at me? Can I lay an egg for you to eat?"

She sighed, "What should I do? I can't walk around on an empty stomach."

The turkey team behind them also started to make a commotion: "Yes, yes, we can't stop them from eating, right?"

Anhan glanced timidly in the direction of No. 1, then quickly looked away.

"How about... go ask that maglev elementary school student for something to eat?" he suggested weakly.

Yingying was furious: "How dare you let me accept charity?!"

An Han defended himself with a guilty conscience: "Strictly speaking, it can't be considered as alms food. It's like giving alms to beggars."

Yingying kicked Anhan in the face.

Number One was watching the excitement with great interest. He lay on the side of the boat and slapped the wall excitedly: "Look, look! The fight has started! The fight has started!"

Anhan was kicked all over the ground like a ball by Yingying.

Fortunately, this embarrassing farce did not last too long. Soon, Yingying stopped moving amid the protest of her stomach.

"Spare your life. I need to conserve energy right now."

But Anhan lay on the ground and did not get up.

"Hey!" Yingying walked up to him and kicked his butt angrily, "Don't try to blackmail me, get up quickly!"

An Han was speechless, he had no habit of blackmailing others. He just rolled on the ground a few times, and his originally clear head suddenly became a little groggy, as if some familiar feeling came to his heart, but slipped through his fingers when he reached out to catch it, leaving only a few warm fragments, which together with the scorching sun above his head baked his brain.

A grumpy captain + teammates who like to watch the show + elementary school students who like to watch the fun + a ship.

None of them are useful...

Anhan covered his head with his wings and thought painfully.

Ning Yao frowned: "Number One, that turkey doesn't look right."

Number One: "It's dead, just restart it."

Ning Yao: "The turkey leader didn't use any strength at all. I suspect the one on the ground may have accidentally triggered some dream core trap. Take it to the ship and check it out."

The little white boat watching the show immediately turned hostile: "I refuse! Don't bring anything dirty or smelly into my boat!"

Number One, who was originally planning to confront Ning Yao, saw that Xiaobaichuan's mysophobia had flared up and reacted so violently that he immediately reached out and picked up the turkey Anhan from the ground and put him into the boat.

"Hey! No, no! Poultry are not allowed on board!" Little White Boat was furious.

Number One laughed frivolously: "This is a turkey I picked up in the wild. How can it be considered poultry?"

Away from the scorching ground, An Han finally recovered. He opened his eyes with difficulty, looked up at No. 1, and a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes.

He felt that he should know this child.

But... who is this child? Where did they meet? He had no recollection of the farmer having any children, and there had never been anyone else on the farm.

Number One blinked and held up Turkey's neck considerately: "Are you awake? It's 4202 now."

An Han:......

He broke away from No. 1's support, sat up on his own, and stretched his neck to look around the surroundings. It was familiar, too familiar, as if he had grown up here since he was a child.

Although this was the first time I walked down this street today, my memory clearly told me that there was a school at the end of this road.

An Han turned around and looked No. 1 up and down.

Is this maglev kid a student of that school? When we met at the traffic light before, No. 1 seemed to be coming from the direction of the school.

Although he had no idea about the current situation, An Han felt that the "school" that vaguely appeared in his memory and he was not sure whether it really existed might be a breakthrough point worth exploring.

Thinking of this, he could not wait a moment and flapped his wings and jumped off the small white boat.

What greeted him was a cold laugh: "Hey, you're awake? It's 4202 now."

An Han:......

An Han was helpless: "Don't force it if there's no joke. It's not funny at all. Now I have something serious to ask you."

Seeing that An Han's expression did not seem playful, Yingying also straightened her attitude and said seriously: "If you have to fart, do it now."

An Han swallowed his breath and said, "You... OK. What I want to ask is, do you have any impression of this road?"

"What are you talking about? This is my first time in the city, how could I be familiar with this road... eh?" Yingying suddenly stopped.

She looked along the road in surprise, and like Anhan, her eyes were involuntarily fixed on the end of the road.

"Is there...a school there?"

An Han's eyes lit up: "You really feel the same way!"

Yingying was puzzled: "Why? What's going on? I don't remember being here, how do I know there is a school there?"

"Instead of worrying about it here, why not explore it?" An Han suggested.

Yingying did not act immediately, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" An Han asked, "Did I not explain something clearly?"

"I'm hungry," Yingying said confidently, "I can't walk anymore, I want to eat."

An Han said thoughtfully: "If it's a school, there should be a cafeteria."

Yingying led the flock of chickens and rushed to school quickly.

Ning Yao, who was watching the whole process, was surprised: "They kept making inexplicable noises for a while, and then they seemed to have a clear goal. Did they... remember where the fish were?"

Number One drove the little white boat to catch up with the flock of chickens.

"This is the direction back to school." said No. 1.

"How could there be such a thing in school... uh... actually, come to think of it, there should be such a thing, right?" Ning Yao asked himself and answered.

Little White Boat groaned, "Don't trust these turkeys you met on the way. I have to warn you in advance that I didn't sense any fish at the school. I guess your trip was in vain."

Number One rolled his eyes and said, "Be careful or I'll blow your cover. How can a fish smell in water?"

Little White Boat said "Wow!" in an exaggerated voice, "Little brat, do you think that only breathing can be considered as breath if I scold you? The strong fishy smell on the fish is not considered as breath?!"

Number One said stubbornly: "That can only be considered 'body odor', how can it be considered breath."

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to argue with the little brat who just started school." The little white boat raised the white flag. "I just want to say that there are no fish in the school."

"Stop arguing," Ning Yao said with finality, "We don't have any other clues right now, so why not trust Turkey?"
