Gallagher, Misha, and Clockie were all in a state of dumbfounded shock.
Gallagher was absolutely certain that what the Watchmaker left behind was inside the Dream Bubble.
Clockie knew even better what that Dream Bubble represented: it contained everything of Mikhail's, and besides that, it was the place where Misha was born.
And the result? Pei Guang actually treated this Dream Bubble directly as the gift from Mikhail?
Normal people wouldn't think like this at all, right?
This is a Dream Bubble. Even if there are many magical things in the Dreamscape, because of the special nature of Dream Bubbles, no one except those related to remembrance can touch them.
Moreover, even Memokeepers, unless they reached the level of an Emanator, couldn't handle Dream Bubbles at will.
Yet, Pei Guang just picked up the Dream Bubble like that?!
That's right, under everyone's gaze, Pei Guang was using the Dream Bubble like a ball. What was even more surprising was that in Pei Guang's hands, this Dream Bubble seemed to be the toughest thing in the world: no matter how he messed with it, it was fine.
Watching Pei Guang playing with the Dream Bubble, Misha asked Clockie anxiously: "Clockie, what should we do next? I feel... their discovery seems a bit wrong?"
Misha had a wonderful feeling now. It was like he wrote an article, and at the end of the article, he casually wrote a sentence: "The clock ticks and tocks, turning."
He literally just saw a turning clock and wrote a line casually without any meaning, but Pei Guang analyzed it based on that.
Saying things like the turning clock represents an unyielding will, expressing the author's resistance against the darkness of Penacony and the unyielding Trailblazing spirit…
Yes, this was exactly what Misha was thinking right now. Precisely because of this, not knowing what to do, he asked Clockie for help.
Clockie took a deep breath. He had been observing Pei Guang all along the way and already knew some of Pei Guang's behavioral logic.
"Tick-tock! Leave it to me. I guarantee I'll make him know how to use this Dream Bubble correctly."
Clockie also felt his gears whirring now, because Pei Guang's behavior directly made his home in the Dreamscape disappear.
While Clockie stepped up, Pei Guang respectfully bid farewell to Mikhail's remains.
Having already obtained the senior's legacy, the next step was to explore Dreamflux Reef one last time, then go to the Grand Theater and seal the Stellaron plaguing Penacony.
However, just as he prepared to act, Clockie jumped in front of Pei Guang.
At this moment, Clockie had a smile on his face and congratulated Pei Guang very happily.
"Tick-tock~ Congratulations, you have found the reward from the Watchmaker. However, this reward is hidden in the deepest part of this Dream Bubble. Enter this Dream Bubble, and you can obtain this reward."
Seeing Clockie suddenly pop out, Pei Guang paused for a moment, then curiously took out the Dream Bubble.
"You're saying there's still a reward inside here?"
Clockie: "That's right! The reward inside can help you fight against evil villains. Come on! Enter the Dream Bubble and find the real reward."
Misha also walked over at this time.
Currently, one trigger was still missing. As long as they discovered even a little abnormality in this Dream Bubble, Misha would take them into the Dream Bubble and let them obtain the reward Mikhail left for the Nameless.
Hearing there was a reward, Stelle got excited all over: "Ah Guang! Look, you guessed wrong this time. It's the reward inside the Dream Bubble, not the Dream Bubble itself being the reward."
Seeing that Pei Guang could be wrong, Stelle became totally excited.
Facing the excited Stelle, Pei Guang triumphantly raised his index finger and wagged it: "No no no! You are the one who is wrong. This must be a test from Clockie, testing whether we came here for the so-called reward or to uphold the Trailblazing will."
Stelle was greatly shocked: "Aren't we here just for the reward?"
Pei Guang nodded: "Yeah! That logic stands, but when following the plot, narratively it must be for the spirit and will of Trailblaze. Otherwise, what's the use of giving us this Dream Bubble? Besides, if Mikhail could really leave behind a particularly amazing reward, would he still die here?"
Stelle fell silent because she suddenly realized Pei Guang made sense.
Pei Guang continued to comfort her: "And according to plot tradition, aside from the top-tier items we get by luck, do quest rewards ever just appear the moment we go in?
If you ask me, this Dream Bubble is the true core item. Carrying it as we practice our path of Trailblaze, when danger comes, it will naturally become our beacon, providing us with items to defeat the enemy.
Even if there really is a so-called gift inside, I reckon it's just some random stuff Mikhail left to prevent future generations from being sad. The real gift or reward, according to the current setting, requires us to practice the Trailblazing will to obtain it."
March 7th also nodded: "I also think Ah Guang makes sense. Before knowing you guys it was fine, but after knowing you guys, which time when we got good stuff wasn't when we practiced our Trailblazing will? I guess!
If you ask me! Clockie's words are definitely misleading us, testing whether our Trailblazing will is firm or not. Anyway, this girl here is especially sure!"
March 7th patted her chest triumphantly.
Firefly looked at Pei Guang: "I believe Ah Guang's guess. His guesses are always very accurate."
Pei Guang looked at Firefly: "You don't need to worry either. I believe this Dream Bubble will definitely become the key to our victory in the end. Maybe in the final battle, this Dream Bubble will let us obtain the things we each need."
Pei Guang's mindset was very good. Compared to tangible rewards, he felt this kind of abstract reward was easier to play a big role.
As for that saying "Only a storm can fell Greatwood"?
Pei Guang was disdainful of this type of enemy. As a player whose brain malfunctioned from time to time, he could fell a great tree with or without a storm.
Clockie: "..."
Listening to everyone's remarks, Clockie suddenly found that Pei Guang made a lot of sense.
Could it be that Mikhail really thought so? Was Misha's appearance... just an accident?
While Clockie was confused, Pei Guang issued an invitation to Clockie: "I understand, you want to verify on behalf of the Watchmaker whether we really inherited the Trailblazing will. I also know you will join us temporarily to face the strong enemy and seal the Stellaron together."
Clockie: "Ah..."
Swirls appeared in Clockie's eyes. Pei Guang's progress was simply too fast.
One second he was explaining, and the next second he issued an invitation?
He wanted to say something, but before the words could leave his mouth, Pei Guang dragged Clockie along and started moving.
Misha also wanted to say something, but before the words could leave his mouth, Pei Guang grabbed Misha's hand with his other hand, giving him no chance at all, and dragged both Misha and Clockie along to take action.
