Chapter 243: Posting Tasks

Klein looked at the three oars in front of the "Sea God," his mouth twitching; his intuition told him that choosing any one of them might lead to trouble.

After all, he didn't know if Roselle had made any adaptations when plagiarizing this story.

Moreover, anything could happen in the Phantom Realm; it wouldn't be strange to find a potion capable of advancement directly in some Fairyland.

Which one to choose... As Klein was struggling, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him, and since he sensed no danger, he decided to test the waters.

"I choose the gold, silver, and wood oars."

It might not be a single-choice question!

"... Very well!" The "Sea God" gave Klein a look that was neither a smile nor a frown, and threw all three oars directly to Klein.

Thud!

The three oars slammed into Klein, and they seemed to carry some kind of magical power that left him feeling dizzy.

The faint figure of the "Sea God" dissipated, leaving only the three oars lying on the Fool Boat.

"Hmm..." Klein noticed that the way Audrey was looking at him was already very wrong.

Audrey probably already knew by now that he was a part-time boatman.

Klein bent down to pick up all three oars, and the gold and silver oars immediately turned into a stream of light, entering Klein's body.

"So that's how it is..."

The silver oar represented a qualification; he could enter and exit all Dream Clouds and Fairylands at will to play without being restricted, like a form of authorization.

And the golden oar was like the task list in the Dream Temple... this didn't seem to have much use?

"Ahem..." Klein thought for a moment, then looked at the somewhat wary Audrey, "I am the Fool Boatman now. I will take you to Fairy Tale Town; you can tell me if you need anything."

"Okay." Audrey blinked and nodded gently.

"Sir, are you a Beyonder in Reality?" Audrey, being a "Spectator," ultimately had some suspicions.

"Yes." Klein began to sail the boat, gradually approaching Fairy Tale Town.

"Then why were you able to become a Fool Boatman?" Audrey asked curiously, "Hmm... if it involves occult knowledge, I think I can pay the corresponding reward."

As long as he was a person from Reality, it was easy to talk; she, Audrey, had money!

"The 'Dream' Pathway." Klein raised his eyebrows slightly, then stopped at that; the knowledge below cost money, and the two of them seemed to have reached the trading segment of the Tarot Club.

"I have never heard of this pathway..."

"Hello there, would you like to hear me sing?" While Audrey was still thinking, a mermaid appeared around the Fool Boat, poked her head out, and asked in a friendly manner.

This was a mermaid from a fairy tale, not the man-eating kind from Reality.

"Yes, please!" Audrey's attention was drawn away.

Huh? You little mermaid, you're even coming to steal my business.

It had been several hours since Klein woke up from the Phantom Realm.

As a boatman, and then as a tour guide, he had taken Audrey all over Fairy Tale Town, which could be considered witnessing what a "plagiarist" was capable of.

In Fairy Tale Town, he saw every fairy tale he had known in both his lifetimes, many of which he had heard of in his previous life.

Roselle didn't leave any way for his successors to survive...

"I have to say, girls can really walk!" Klein felt a bit of resentment, having the same feeling of weak legs as he did after accompanying a girl shopping in his previous life.

Klein shook his head and stood up; he still had an arrangement for the afternoon.

It was Monday; it was time for the Tarot Club.

An hour later, Above the Gray Fog.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!"

Miss Justice, just an hour ago you were calling me "Mr. Boatman" and asking me to row for you...

Klein teased inwardly, while outwardly he nodded calmly, and the four members of the gathering took their seats.

"Before the gathering begins, I want to make an attempt."

Klein reached out and tapped the table lightly, drawing everyone's attention.

"It is our honor to witness your great power!" Audrey, "Justice," became excited, looking at Klein with restraint and anticipation.

An attempt? The "Hanged Man's" spirit suddenly tightened.

In his view, every attempt by Mr. Fool was full of deep meaning and was an important step in his awakening.

Miss "Magician" and Mr. "Sun" were both staring intently at Klein, waiting for him to show a miracle.

Klein smiled lightly and snapped his fingers.

Snap!

A divine light suddenly flashed across the palace Above the Gray Fog, illuminating the entire hall.

And within the divine light, a clear radiance condensed, gradually forming a crystal ball the size of a human head.

The crystal ball landed in the middle of the long bronze table, with sacred gold flowing inside and dreamlike phosphorescence on its surface.

"It comes from the Phantom Realm." Klein looked at the crystal ball with a chuckle.

The others were also shocked by such a miracle, and their gazes eventually fell upon the crystal ball.

Hmm... the essence of the miracle was actually an illusion, an ability Klein gained after becoming an "Illusionist." Above this Gray Fog, he could easily blur the boundaries between reality and illusion to create such a phantasm.

As for this crystal ball, it was actually the "task bar" Klein obtained in the Phantom Realm, which was the golden oar.

The tasks posted on the task bar were tasks from the Phantom Realm.

An hour ago, when Klein was familiarizing himself with his newly mastered abilities, he was shocked and speechless to find that he could even accept Phantom Realm tasks in Reality.

He also quickly realized the importance of these "Reality tasks."

Phantom Realm tasks were constantly being accepted, to the point where even writing a novel fairy tale was an incredibly difficult task now, but Reality was different; as long as the task was linked to Reality, there was a possibility of completing it.

And the rewards for Phantom Realm tasks included everything you wanted!

This was a special channel enjoyed only within the Dream Sect, now turned into a "Sefirah Castle" branch by Klein.

Upon the first glance at the Crystal Ball, the others also gradually gained an epiphany, even seeing "missions" on it at the very first moment.

"Latest legal trends in the Loen Kingdom..."

"Exploration of the Forsaken Land of the Gods..."

"..."

Many missions linked to Reality were displayed, leaving the four participants dazzled.

They simultaneously realized the immense benefits involved here; by completing these missions, they could obtain Potion Formulas, occult knowledge, materials, and even Magical Items!

"I have a transaction with Dream." Klein felt his performance this time could score full marks.

This could be seen from the chaotic and excited spirit body of Mr. Hanged Man.

"Your status far exceeds my imagination." Hanged Man lowered his head and said submissively.

Being able to trade with the "Supreme Dream," this was definitely a status at the level of a True God; Hanged Man even suspected that the "Dream Angel" existing in the Scriptures of all Churches came about this way.

Klein waved his hand lightly, "You can accept missions from here, complete them in Reality, and claim rewards."

And Klein, as the middleman, could obtain all the formulas and occult knowledge!

"A platform is quite different from an individual contractor!" Klein thought leisurely.
