I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

"Don't worry, Miao will definitely come out."

"..."

Zhou Shen looked complexly at Hungry Monkey, truly unaware that Hungry Monkey's confidence in Miao had reached a blind level. He couldn't help but remind him, "According to information from the Federation, they tried to let more than 5,000 people enter the fourth layer of dreams."

"Not a single one woke up."

"This group had every kind of person: heinous criminals sentenced to death, ordinary people who wanted a large sum for participating in the experiment, dying elderly, and Supernaturals with considerable strength."

"But no matter the kind of person, in the end, none woke up."

"There have been no exceptions to date."

"So you're just that certain Miao will wake up?"

"Yes!"

Hungry Monkey firmly nodded, "Didn't that Hell Bus have a 100% mortality rate at first? But in the end, didn't Miao come out quite easily? I believe Miao will come out. Ever since I met Miao, he has changed a lot of my beliefs."

"If it weren't for him."

"I'd never dare dream I could become a Supernatural."

"If I could become a Supernatural, then what else is impossible in this world? Ever since the day I became a fighter, I've believed that miracles exist in this world, and Miao is the spokesperson for miracles."

"If our world truly is a story, then Miao would definitely be the protagonist."

"As for me, Hungry Monkey, I am Miao's most trustworthy confidant."

With that said, Hungry Monkey could not help feeling somewhat proud as he raised his eyebrows and declared, "And you all who doubt Miao, will just be waiting to have your faces slapped by the villain."

Zhou Shen didn't speak again; he just lifted his glass and took a light sip, pausing for a long moment before speaking, "It's said that the fourth-layer dream is completely composed of a person's subconscious mind, absent any subjective consciousness, and moreover, it's the deepest subconscious mind."

"Actions too are conducted according to the subconscious mind."

"Those tasks... seemed to involve falling in love, right?"

"Has Miao ever been in a relationship?"

"Does he understand women?"

"Uh..."

Hungry Monkey seemed less confident, hesitating for a long while before he ventured, "Having to stay inside for decades, a few decades of Kung Fu should at least teach him how to love, right?"

"I've never worried about whether Miao can come out."

"I'm just worried that Miao, after coming out, would have forgotten me."

"After all, having lived inside for several decades, seeing us again would be like not seeing each other for decades. Even if he remembers us, it is uncertain whether he'd be willing to continue working with us."

"That's my main concern."

...

"Current progress 82034/400000."

Given that the Federation is fully involved, the progress of Zhenba City's second phase is rising very slowly; there's no need to worry if it keeps up at this pace. However, at this moment.

The Jingjiu Brain Trust in Jingjiu City was discussing other matters.

"Let's make an assumption about Chen Miao's situation; let's assume he really completes those tasks and prevents the disaster. Then we need to consider other matters, like the 'Sea of Human Suffering' second phase."

"The so-called Blessing, you've all seen its effects."

"It exists as a rule."

"An extremely buggy existence."

"And this is only when Blessing is at one. If Blessing is at 10, 100, or even 10,000, it is highly likely to create a terrifying monster, a monster favored by fortune and the heavens, who can easily find a way through any secret realm or inevitably fatal event."

"Such an existence is of great help to us in exploring new worlds."

"Therefore, I suggest initiating 'God's Chosen Plan'!"

After a silent exchange of glances, the Brain Trust drafted a proposal and sent it to the email of the Federation's Supreme Commander, offering the lives of ten thousand ordinary people in exchange for such an existence.

It was a very cost-effective deal.

It simply couldn't stand the light of day; once exposed, it would cause a major public outcry and had to be completed in secret.

Very soon—

'God's Chosen Plan' was approved!

In no time, many ordinary people in Zhenba City were secretly controlled, and the Jingjiu Brain Trust immediately contacted the former Events Bureau of Zhenba City to recommend several of the most outstanding individuals from normal days to serve as candidates for God's Chosen.

Whether they were candidates or sacrifices,

they had to be survivors of the first stage of the 'Sea of Human Suffering', meaning those who were in Zhenba City before the set events of the 'Sea of Human Suffering' began.

After all, the progress had to reach 400,000 to achieve the target of the second stage.

It was just a matter of keeping the progress within this range.

The Federation would not tolerate a loss of control or infighting among its people, but it did not mind holding a few more aces up its sleeve.

...

Meanwhile, in the fourth layer of the dream.

Chen Miao, sitting alone in the living room, looked at the mess on the floor and took the jade pendant from his chest to fiddle with in his hands, feeling a sense of absurdity. He didn't know why he had just lost his temper so badly.

It wasn't in his character.

It was as if something was influencing him from the shadows.

After a long while.

He stood up and walked out of the room, planning to find Lord Miao, but as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Lord Miao sitting at the doorway on the fire escape, sobbing quietly.

"That..."

Chen Miao wasn't quite sure how to start, cautiously sitting beside Lord Miao, whispering, "I was wrong, I got a bit too emotional just now... What if I buy you a new gaming console right now? Tomorrow we can play games together."

Lord Miao continued to sit on the steps of the fire escape, burying his head in his arms and crying quietly. After a long time, he raised his head with reddened eyes, his voice a bit changed, "Okay."

"Huh?"

This time it was Chen Miao's turn to be stunned, blurting out, "You agreed so quickly? I thought you'd stay mad for a while."

"And then what, keep the standoff going?"

"I can't live without you. If we kept it up, I'd starve to death in the fire escape."

"I was planning to knock on the door if you didn't come out within ten minutes."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

...

Over the following years.

Everything seemed to go smoothly.

Chen Miao also quit his job at the company and started his own, with the company's performance improving each quarter. They moved to a bigger house and got a dog and a cat.

Their home had taken on a much warmer feel.

"Little Miao."

Chen Miao sat in the living room looking at Lord Miao on the couch, his pupils filled with anticipation, "How about, we do nothing tonight and just play games all night?"

"Sure!"

Lord Miao, sitting on the couch, suddenly sparkled with excitement, hurriedly grabbing the two controllers that were charging at the side, "Ready at any time!!!"

"I am your best partner."
