Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 443 - 322, Happy New Year’s Eve
At this moment.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a few seconds, then snapped back to ask, "Is this an illusion?"
Yang Fan shook his head and said, "No! These are real mushrooms, you can touch them."
The middle-aged man reached out and touched a mushroom tree beside him, feeling the real texture with his palm.
Compared to the mushrooms on the stall, the mushroom tree felt rougher, but the sensation was similar.
The middle-aged man added, "I’ve heard some illusions can even trick other people’s senses."
The implication of his words was that he still didn’t believe these mushrooms were real.
Yang Fan’s mouth twitched briefly: "What will it take for you to believe this isn’t an illusion?"
The middle-aged man spread his hands: "I’m just an ordinary person, how would I know how to identify illusions?"
Yang Fan sighed helplessly, moved his right hand slightly: "This is a real illusion."
As he made this gesture, a large patch of colorful mushrooms rapidly sprouted from the ground, growing to knee height.
The middle-aged man glanced down, his tone suggesting, "You think I’m a fool? These mushrooms look so fake."
Because the mushrooms that emerged from the ground had an obvious illusionary feel, they looked like a holographic projection.
Yang Fan laughed: "Look again."
The middle-aged man suddenly found that the mushrooms, which had appeared blatantly fake at first glance, now looked incredibly real, with all sorts of details present.
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded: "How is this possible?"
Yang Fan explained: "Because the illusion didn’t deeply affect your brain initially. Now the illusion has taken effect on your mind, which automatically fills in the details."
He waved his hand again, and the illusionary mushrooms disappeared completely with a "swish."
The middle-aged man was incredulous: "Were all these changes in the mushrooms just my imagination?"
Yang Fan nodded: "That’s right!"
The middle-aged man smacked his lips: "I’ve truly gained insight today."
His gaze shifted, carrying a hint of respect in his tone: "Inducing mushroom growth is one superpower, illusion is another. It seems like only two individuals on Canglan Star possess more than two superpowers. Are you Mr. Ghost or Mr. Spirit Crows?"
Yang Fan smiled: "I am Spirit Crow."
The middle-aged man examined Yang Fan closely and sighed: "I never expected the renowned Spirit Crow Lord to actively seek me out. What a great honor."
Yang Fan waved it off: "You’re exaggerating!"
The middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly: "Not at all. You are a legend in the hearts of all Great Xia People, while I’m just a minor figure before you."
He continued to introduce himself: "I am Yuan Hua, the highest official at the Tolan City municipal office."
Yuan Hua laughed again: "Since you came directly to me, you surely already know who I am."
Yang Fan shook his head again: "You are not a small figure."
He muttered inwardly, "In the Dream Realm, you are the second chief of Great Xia after the Age of Calamity arrived.
To become a chief demonstrates the remarkable abilities this person possesses.
Yuan Hua felt the atmosphere was slightly awkward and talked to fill the void: "Lord, where did the mushroom tree come from?"
Yang Fan laughed: "It’s from the package of mushrooms you held just now."
At his current level of superpower, transforming a package of mushrooms into a mushroom forest was a trivial matter.
Yuan Hua exclaimed, "Ah," his face filled with surprise.
However, this was already the Superpower Era, where all kinds of strange things happened, so he quickly accepted the facts.
Yuan Hua looked up at the mushroom cap, much larger than an umbrella, marveling: "It’s truly amazing!"
Just as he spoke.
A female voice came through: "Indeed!"
It was the voice of his secretary, Su Yuxuan.
Accompanied by light footsteps, she walked through the mushroom forest towards them.
When Yang Fan created this space, he conveniently brought the secretary along as well.
Perhaps Yuan Hua was having a moment of folly, for he blurted out as he looked at the secretary: "Lady Lingya?"
Yang Fan was amused yet helpless.
Su Yuxuan blushed bright red instantly, stammering as she spoke: "I...I’m not... I’m a secretary sent from Mr. Spirit Crows’ office."
Yuan Hua "oh"ed and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken carelessly."
The highest official sneakily glanced at Su Yuxuan, keenly aware that the secretary might not be entirely opposed to having the "Lady Lingya" title.
He could tell that Su Yuxuan was undoubtedly someone meticulously chosen by the top—her family background, capability, and appearance were all top-notch, deliberately placed by Mr. Spirit Crows’ side.
There was only one reason—the top hoped Su Yuxuan would become Mr. Spirit Crows’ confidant, persuading him on the pillow.
And the high officials’ fondness for playing matchmaker is somewhat of a unique tradition in Great Xia.
Yang Fan "hemmed" lightly: "Director Yuan, you can probably guess my intentions in coming."
Yuan Hua was confused.
Lord, how could I possibly guess what you want to do?
Yang Fan didn’t explain, just quietly watched Yuan Hua.
Yuan Hua suddenly realized, this was a "test question" specially set by Mr. Spirit Crows for him.
After pondering deeply for a while, he gradually formed an idea in his mind.
Yuan Hua hesitated for a moment, tentatively stating: "Mo Bei Province is adjacent to the Bering Kingdom. Could it be that what you want to discuss is related to the Bering Kingdom?"
Su Yuxuan couldn’t help but glance at Yuan Hua.
Initially, she was puzzled as to why Mr. Spirit Crows traveled so far to Mo Bei Province, specifically seeking out the highest official in Tolan City.
Now she finally understood, this official was unusually perceptive, and Mr. Spirit Crows had the keen eye to single out Yuan Hua from a vast sea of people.
Yuan Hua saw Su Yuxuan’s action and instantly knew he’d guessed correctly.
