Another World Mall
Chapter 1043: Real World?
"Aaahhhh!" Clovis had never experienced pain like this before. His scream startled Melody, who was next to him, and woke her up.
"!!!" Melody rose from the bed, not knowing what had happened. The only thing she knew was that Clovis was in pain. "Clovis?"
Clovis couldn’t respond to her. After all, the headache continued as he heard more and more voices.
"I will support him. You guys should focus on this project!" Ragna’s voice echoed right after Jay’s, telling them that he would support Jay in whatever he was doing.
"In that case, I will look around the area and see if there’s any target I can find to slow them down." Aileen’s voice was a bit hoarse, but Clovis could definitely recognize it.
As usual, once Aileen said something, Erwin followed right after. "In that case, I will look around and check whether there are spies around us or not. We can’t afford this project to fail."
Clovis was wondering what had happened. Spies? Targets? From these people, he managed to gather a few pieces of information.
It looked like Clovis was living in a city. He might be the leader of that city. They seemed to have a project that prevented them from doing anything.
That was why Jay was in charge of the city’s defense and Ragna planned to support him. Kanaria must be the one managing this city in his stead.
Then, Aileen intended to assassinate their enemies to slow them down. Meanwhile, Erwin would focus on searching for spies in their city so that they wouldn’t know about Clovis’ current condition.
The voices continued.
"I’ve managed to create that world. However, we need a few things. If he has to wake up in the middle of the project, this entire project might be disrupted. So, we need something to keep him alive but remain in that state for the duration of the project."
This time, it was Melody’s voice. However, the fact that she admitted building this world somehow matched the information Clovis currently had.
Melody recognized her own codes, so she might truly be the one creating this world. But why? For what? What was the project? He needed more information.
"I can handle that. I will monitor his condition all the time as well."
This time, it was Luci’s voice. As one would expect from an amazing doctor like her, she might be the one who kept him alive all this time. But it also meant that he was indeed a player in this world.
He entered this world because of this project. All this time, his body in the real world might have been kept alive by the people around him.
"Still, won’t it be bad for him to remain asleep all that time? His muscles will grow weak. When he wakes up..."
"Don’t worry. I’ve found a liquid that can solve all those problems. Once he wakes up, it will be as if he has just woken up from a good night’s sleep." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Melody was worried, but Luci assured him. Clovis couldn’t help but think about Luci’s project in this world. She was also searching for a liquid.
Studying beasts as well as the item from his mall allowed Luci to create a new liquid that would help one recover. He wondered if it was actually the same liquid.
"I will become the new beacon of hope for the time being. This will keep our morale high. We can’t crumble until he wakes up."
Christina sounded exhausted and uncertain, but she definitely had the resolve to do it.
"In that case, I will help you take care of your promotion. I will use my voice so that they will believe you. We can’t show any weakness right now."
Angelia supported Christina. It looked like they had reached an agreement.
"I’m sorry. I can only cook. I feel like I’m the only one useless here."
It was surprising that Rin didn’t have the same energy. The situation seemed so dire that Rin thought herself useless.
"Don’t worry. You’re not useless. Your food is the one that keeps us sane. Please continue your good work, Rin. Make sure to take care of all these fools so that they don’t get sick or malnourished. The last thing we want is for them to collapse," Melody comforted her.
"In any case, I have brought you all the supplies you want. There is not much time left. If you want supplies, I have supplies. As long as it’s for the project, I will secure them no matter what."
As one would expect from Hana, she was indeed handling the supplies.
"For now, I will monitor our situation and see if I can slow them down. It will be good if we can sow distrust among them."
Vina remained someone who was in charge of their information network. She was doing what she normally did, creating confusion with information.
It looked like all the members of the Libation Fiesta were here. He realized that the Libation Fiesta he had created in this world might actually be the reflection of the Libation Fiesta in the real world.
However, he didn’t know whether he actually believed in the same people or whether their encounters were arranged by the system.
At the same time, he wondered who his wives were. This might be quite important. If he suddenly woke up in the real world and a few people turned out to be not his wives while other people ended up being his wives, it would become awkward.
Still, he also considered the possibility that it might not matter anymore. If their group was arranged by the system, the people he chose as his wives in this world might already be his wives in the real world.
So, he just needed to do whatever he wanted before knowing about this information.
But there was actually one more voice that he didn’t expect he would hear.
"My power is the most basic. It’s just an enhancement of what a human is capable of. I want you to program it so that he can also wield my power in that world. Will it trick his brain into thinking that he has my power by the time he wakes up?"
