Hongli gently lifted Little Fire's two wings, placed them on top of the gift box, and then let go.

"Paji."

To Hong Li's astonishment, Xiao Huo passed right through the gift box and landed on the table, while the gift box turned into a transparent phantom, as if it didn't exist in this time and space at all.

"???"

Xiao Huo steadied himself, even more confused: "What happened?"

"Ah, it's okay."

Hongli nodded thoughtfully and opened the two gift boxes.

"What the hell!"

Upon seeing the two items that appeared, Hongli couldn't help but exclaim, "What the hell is this?!"

Chapter 78 Fish, What I Desire

The description of the gift pack (white) received when you reach the Body Tempering Realm is: 80% chance of getting a white item, 15% chance of getting a gray item, and 5% chance of getting a green item.

The description of the gift pack (green) received during the Qi Refining stage is: 10% chance of opening a gray item, 15% chance of opening a white item, 60% chance of opening a green item, 10% chance of opening a blue item, and 5% chance of opening a purple item.

Hongli doesn't need to be as outrageous as Mouyang, who gets blue items from white gift packs and purple items from green gift packs. Just let her open them according to the normal probability.

For example, with this green gift pack, Hongli was thinking of giving her two green-quality items, anything but hats would do.

Or, giving her a gray-quality curated comic book gift pack wouldn't be a bad idea...

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and she successfully obtained two white items!

"Sigh, I can't live like this anymore."

Hongli sighed and looked at the first item.

Item: This is a trial illusion version

Quality: white

Effect: Creates a deeply moving illusion; rewards can be obtained by passing the illusion trial.

You can choose any reward from white quality or lower items (excluding skills or talents) that you have previously obtained from the gift packs.

Optional Rewards: Very Powerful Sleeping Pill (White), Featured Comic Pack (Gray)

Cooldown: One day (This item is automatically consumed after clearing the illusion).

Summary: Some things we only learn to cherish after we lose them.

"..."

Hongli paused for a moment, then let out a long sigh, her face full of weariness: "Life always surprises you unexpectedly."

"what?"

Little Fire tilted his head: "Mom, what did you say?"

"No no!"

Hongli couldn't suppress her smile: "I just... I want to roar! Hahahaha!"

Little Fire: "???"

"Ahem, don't mind that."

Hongli waved her hand, feigning composure: "It's getting late, you should go to sleep. Children are growing, and going to bed early and waking up early will keep them healthy!"

"what……"

Little Fire scratched its head with its wings: "Oh—"

With a push of its legs and flapping its tiny wings, Little Fire glided in an arc from the table to the bed.

She hopped a few steps, then jumped into her little nest by the bedside, and curled up: "Goodnight, Mom."

Goodnight, Little Fire.

"..."

Hongli stole a glance at the other person and found that Xiao Huo was indeed asleep. She quietly lay down on the bed and pulled up the covers, just in case she fell into a coma after entering the illusion.

With everything ready, Hongli could no longer contain her excitement.

[Reward selected: Premium Comic Pack (gray)]

[Entering the Illusion Trial. During this time, you will enter a light sleep mode. Please keep your surroundings quiet and safe to avoid being awakened, which would force the illusion to terminate.]

"Oh dear, oh dear, enough with the nonsense!"

Hong Li said impatiently, "Hurry up and start. Watch me take care of that stupid illusion in no time, and then... hehehe!"

What are you doing, all excited?!

A voice suddenly interrupted Hongli. She turned her head in confusion to look around and found that she had arrived at a grassland. She realized that she had entered an illusion.

When Hong Li turned her head to look at the person who made the sound, her pupils shrank: "Holy crap, Hei Yang!"

"That's me..."

Hei Yang rolled his eyes: "Can't you recognize me?"

"Something's wrong, something very wrong."

Hong Li snorted coldly: "You bastard, you can prank me in real life, but now you have to come and make your presence known in the illusion?"

"no way."

The illusion of the black sun helplessly shrugged: "Who told you that deep down you are me? I'm not a real person. If you weren't thinking about me, how could I appear in front of you?"

"Ha, really? You're admitting you're an illusion?"

Hongli looked disgusted: "At least be a little more professional, put on an act, like saying something like, 'Oh, Xiaoli, what are you saying? I am Heiyang,' or something like that."

Then I'll use my brilliant mind to see through your flawed acting, sneer, "No one understands Hei Yang better than me; you're not him at all," and finally, I'll stylishly finish you off.

"How can you be like this, admitting right away that you're an illusion? It makes me feel so unfulfilled!"

"Acting is too tiring, I'm too lazy to pretend."

The Black Sun Illusion rolled its eyes: "Besides, I am the shadow of your mind. Talking to me is like talking to yourself. Is that interesting?"

"It's meaningless."

Hongli suddenly realized: "This is so boring."

"Yeah, yeah, I think so too."

Black Sun Illusion sighed: "Although I'd like to let you clear the game directly, let's go through the formalities first."

"Walk."

Hongli immediately lost interest: "Hurry up and finish the process as soon as possible, then give me the reward."

"uh-huh."

The Black Sun Illusion suddenly grinned, gripping the hem of its robe with both hands: "Then it begins, this is a trial!"

"Wait, what the hell are you doing? I don't believe you're the thing deep inside me! How could my inner self be so filthy, damn it!"

Hongli sat up abruptly, her heart pounding. She fumbled around for a moment, then grabbed a small mirror from the bedside table and saw two streaks of unidentified red liquid under her nose…

"Grass!"

Hong Li reached out and summoned a pool of water to wash her face, muttering, "This illusion is so damn exciting... no, I mean, it's so damn terrifying."

Hongli touched her little nose, still shaken: "Look, I beat him up so badly in real life that he's bleeding! That was terrifying!"

Just thinking about what she saw in the illusion made Hongli clench her toes in embarrassment. Although she had seen it before in her dreams, it was clearly much clearer in the illusion...

"Damn, Hong Li, you're really something! You only saw the upper body, didn't even touch it, and you still failed the trial?"

Hongli looked at the item that had cooled down and muttered under her breath, "Damn it, this level is a little harder than I thought."

But then again, if I deliberately don't finish the game, wouldn't that be... ugh, what am I thinking? Is the manga more important than men? Of course, it's the manga!

Hong Li calmed herself down and opened the panel.

[Hongli: Hey bro, it's time! No mole, let's take some selfies!]

[Black Sun: ?]

[Hongli: Ah, I meant, goodnight, Heiyang.]

[Hei Yang: Ah, Hong Li, goodnight and sweet dreams too.]

Hongli: ...

[Hongli: Oh.]

"..."

Hongli was silent for a moment: "Never mind, I'm tired, I'll go to sleep. I'll look at the other thing when I wake up, ha!"

The girl shrank under the covers and pulled them over her head.
