Chapter 2733: Missing

Zu An was amazed.

No wonder this place is called Dreamland. It is indeed a dream to men. Hold on, what about female guests? Are their lists filled with all kinds of hot male stars? How can a gentleman like me read this kind of nonsensical content?

He tossed the list aside and continued observing the other guests on the beach outside his windows. It broadened his horizons—there were people of all shapes and sizes.

There was a four-legged shark wearing sneakers and holding a wooden bat, a wooden puppet with a massive head, a flying crocodile, an elephant covered in thorns... There were all kinds of civilizations in the Myriad Worlds, so much so that they stretched the limits of the imagination.

A while later, he started getting distracted. He eventually returned to his bed and picked up the list.

I’m not being lustful. It’s just a way to investigate other civilizations in the Myriad Worlds.

He took a casual flip and was awed by the variety before him. They boasted different charms, be it innocent or seductive, slim or curvaceous... It helped that the list was neatly categorized, so he could easily pick based on his preferences.

There were also different lists such as ‘Trending’, ‘High Reviews’, ‘Popular’, ‘Most Clicks’, ‘Monthly Board’, ‘Daily Board’, etc.

Zu An’s eyes were opened. He clicked on the ‘Overall’ ranking, and those on the list were indeed gorgeous. It wasn’t a surprise, since they had survived harsh market testing.

Huh? Why don’t I see that female celebrity from the space elevator?

He tapped on the celebrities’ profiles and soon noticed a pattern.

In the Myriad Worlds, the primary factions were the Starcloud Empire and Freedom Confederation. Both powers controlled many universes, and the sheer number of planets under their control was uncountable. They were hostile to each other, but they were also equally matched.

Other than these two major powers, there were also many influential powers, such as the Universal Conglomerate.

There were also many different types of civilizations, such as pure cybernetic civilizations made up entirely of robots. They boasted high learning ability and had their consciousness linked to the internet, making them terrifying.

There were also reptilian, arthropod, and fungal civilizations. In particular, planets populated by the latter were to be feared.

...

The celebrities on the list could satisfy every racial fetish a person had. Zu An was, once again, awed by how lust was a strong motivator for progress.

In my previous life, many guys self-learned Japanese through adult films. To think I’d be learning about different civilizations across the Myriad Worlds via this.

A thought soon occurred to him as he flipped through the list of female celebrities. While some of them carried unique racial traits, he couldn’t help noticing most of them were humanoid, but why would that be the case?

Is it a coincidence or an inevitability...

While Zu An was pondering that question, someone knocked on his door. Firework called out, and Zu An instinctively rushed over to open the door.

When he saw what was on the other side, he was stunned.

Firework was wearing an adorable yet sexy bikini. Her slender waist, fair belly, and long, slender legs perfectly encapsulated the concept of youthful vibrance.

“Does your room have...” Firework was about to ask a question when she noticed the list in his hand. Her eyes widened into a glare. “Shame on you! What nonsense are you reading...”

“I was doing research...”

Firework interjected before he could finish his piece. “Of all things you could research, why are you researching that! I noticed that too when I was changing my clothes. I wondered if you’d be ensnared by that, so I came over to take a look. I knew it! Big brother, you’re a disappointment!”

“...”

I really am doing research.

Knowing she wouldn’t believe him either way, Zu An asked, “Is it also female celebrities on your side?”

“Of course not. It’s a bunch of pale-faced moochlords. Ugh, how disgusting. None can match you, big brother.” Firework harrumphed. She snatched his list, stuffed a firecracker into it, and tossed it onto the ground.

With a loud explosion, the list was blasted to bits.

Zu An was speechless.

My research material!

“Stop looking at that. Big sister Xue and I look much better. Let’s go to the beach. Hurry up and change your clothes. I’ll go call big sister Xue.” Firework pushed him before the wardrobe before running over to knock on the next door.

Zu An was stunned.

This woman just makes herself comfortable with anyone.

There was no way to continue his research after his list had been destroyed.

Maybe I can gather more information by interacting with other guests on the beach.

He changed into leisurely beach shorts and headed to the neighboring room.

Firework eyed his perfect abs, and her face reddened. “You’re surprisingly ripped.”

Zu An ignored her remark and asked, “Is Miss Tingxue not in her room?”

“She isn’t opening her door.” Firework pouted. An idea popped into her mind, and she said aloud, “Big sister Xue, big brother Zu has changed his clothes and is waiting for you too.”

The door soon opened. “I told you I’m not going...”

Tingxue noticed their revealing beachwear and blushed.

Firework chuckled. “I guess big brother Zu’s name works the best.”

Zu An eyed Tingxue.

She has already lost her emotions. Surely not.

Tingxue coldly replied, “I don’t like that kind of clothing. Don’t bother calling me anymore.” She slammed her door shut afterward.

Zu An felt a mixture of disappointment and relief. He was disappointed at not getting to see her in a swimsuit, but he was also relieved that no one else could see someone who resembled Yan Xuehen wearing that.

Firework shrugged. She stuck out her tongue adorably and said, “Since she isn’t going, let’s go by ourselves.”

Zu An let her drag him to the beach. He took out the towel he had prepared beforehand and draped it on her.

Firework laughed. “What’s wrong? You can’t bear others seeing my skin?”

Zu An was surprised by his own actions as well. As a transmigrator, he had been to swimming pools, beaches, and saunas many times before. He was more than accustomed to such skimpy wear.

Why would I subconsciously try to cover her?

Firework was delighted to see him stumped. Just then, she noticed his pendant and reached out to grab it. “Ooh, this pendant is gorgeous.”

Zu An instinctively guarded the pendant, which made Firework harrumph. “How stingy! Why are you so nervous about the pendant? Did your girlfriend give it to you?”

Zu An answered with a nod. The Jing Teng sisters were still residing in the pendant.

Only guests carrying invitation letters were allowed in Dreamland. It was forbidden to bring anyone else along. Fortunately, their true body was a talisman paper, so there was no need to worry about anyone finding them.

Upon hearing his answer, Firework’s mood plummeted.

The two of them made their way to the beach amid silence. Whistles could be heard now and then from their surroundings—many men were mesmerized by Firework’s beauty.

Firework walked straight toward the sea, tossing her towel onto the beach before diving into the water, swimming around energetically like a dolphin. This reminded Zu An of Shang Liuyu and Shang Hongyu. The sight of them frolicking in the water was enchanting.

A while later, however, Zu An’s eyes narrowed. It had been a while since Firework surfaced from the water, and he couldn’t see her silhouette in the sea either!
