Chapter 876: Preparation Before the Start of the Game
"...It's impossible."
"Ah?" Lin Sanjiu was taken aback.
"It's not that I don't want to lend it to you," Bohemia rarely had a serious expression, her long golden-brown hair and matching eyes shimmering with a faint glow. "But I can't give you this thing either."
"Think again, after all, this is the only solution I can think of," Lin Sanjiu became anxious instantly, "Without it, both of us will die here today!" contemporary romance
Bohemia drooped her face, biting her plump pink lips as she contemplated for a moment. "Although you say that, it's not me... Oh, perhaps there is actually a way—No, no, it's too risky."
Lin Sanjiu raised her hand and gestured vigorously towards the nearby pocket dimension owner and several large spheres.
"Is it more dangerous than this?" She raised her voice.
"It's... a close call, I suppose..."
"Don't give me that. You're clearly just making excuses. If you don't lend it to me, we'll die together!"
Bohemia's face wrinkled as if she had just eaten something extremely sour.
"I'd rather not die. It's disgusting to die with you," she grumbled, reluctantly removing a braided grass bracelet from her wrist. Compared to the other bracelets, the braided grass bracelet was unremarkable yet somewhat familiar. She stretched out the bracelet and said to Lin Sanjiu, "Lower your head."
Lower her head?
Lin Sanjiu instinctively lowered her head, but unexpectedly, Bohemia swiftly wrapped the bracelet around her neck, deftly tied a knot with her fingers, and then pushed it— the knot slid up into her throat. Like leading a dog, Bohemia held onto Lin Sanjiu, turned her head, and warned the pocket dimension owner, "Ten minutes, right? We can use the ten minutes however we want, right?"
"What do you intend to do?" The pocket dimension owner leaned forward slightly, curiosity apparent on their face, which was filled with fat.
"...It's not possible."
"Ah?" Lin Sanjiu was taken aback.
"It's not that I don't want to lend it to you," Bohemia, for once, had a serious expression, her long golden-brown hair and matching eyes shimmering with a faint glow. "But I can't give you this thing either."
"Think again, after all, this is the only solution I can think of," Lin Sanjiu became anxious instantly. "Without it, both of us will die here today!"

"What do you intend to do?" The pocket dimension owner leaned forward slightly, curiosity apparent on their face, which was filled with fat.
Bohemia ignored him, but Lin Sanjiu, in this rare moment, started to panic a little. She suddenly remembered what the braided bracelet was, and she didn't expect Bohemia's solution to be this. She quickly grabbed the grass bracelet and exclaimed, "Wait, don't—"
Before she could finish speaking, she felt her vision darken, and her body was dragged straight down, pulled into an infinite darkness. Her physical body couldn't keep up with the speed, and it was quickly left behind, leaving only a trace of her soul traversing an unknown distance and time. Finally, when she jolted awake and regained her senses, she suddenly saw a deep starry sky in front of her and nearly tumbled over due to the lack of gravity.
A golden-brown gentle star was silently gazing at her by her side.
"Why are you so impulsive?" Lin Sanjiu looked at the endless universe filled with stars in disbelief. "We're still inside the pocket dimension, and you dare to bring me into the realm of consciousness?"
"If it's not through the realm of consciousness, how else can you borrow someone else's consciousness power? It's impossible outside the starscape," Bohemia sounded self-righteous. "I knew you would react like this in the end. Using the bracelet on you was the right choice."
She didn't know that even without the bracelet, Lin Sanjiu couldn't enter.
Time was of the essence, so it was better to hurry and return within the ten minutes. The situation was urgent, and Lin Sanjiu didn't argue with Bohemia anymore. She quickly followed the method Bohemia taught her and hastily received a bit of starlight from that cluster of soft golden-brown glow. In just a few short minutes, countless stars sped past them, constantly shimmering with different colors before their eyes.
"Hurry up," Bohemia grew more anxious with each passing star. "There are many enemies here, and you know that."
Considering Bohemia's personality of seeing what others had and immediately wanting to grab it for herself, managing to survive until today could be considered fortunate.
"Almost... Ah, there we go!"
Lin Sanjiu felt a clear and astonishing sensation as the other party's consciousness power entered her body. It flowed slowly like melting metal. The gentle golden-brown consciousness power seemed a bit unfamiliar and tentative, like a small animal that had just arrived in a new environment. She tried to manipulate it, finally feeling at ease, but then another question arose, "Where are we in the realm of consciousness? Why does it seem so busy?"
"I don't know either. Usually, there aren't many people passing through here," Bohemia said, showing no desire to stay in the starry sky any longer. "Get ready, we're leaving!"
"But wait—"
Bohemia seemed accustomed to not considering others' opinions. Lin Sanjiu only managed to utter a word before her vision suddenly blurred. As she managed to say the second "wait," the bright light of the Candy Crush pocket dimension once again filled her vision.
With a snap, the owner of the pocket dimension standing on the side pressed the stopwatch in his hand. He was uncomfortably close to Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia.
"Nine minutes and twelve seconds," he said, lowering his bald eyelids and looking at the stopwatch. "You have forty-eight seconds left to make a decision."
Bohemia sat up from the ground, her face pale and tense. Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to say much to her and quickly turned her head, saying, "Let's play!"
"Okay," the owner of the pocket dimension nodded slowly and turned back towards his previous position.
Finally, the two of them had a moment to catch their breath. Bohemia hastily tugged at Lin Sanjiu's clothes and asked in a low voice, "What's your plan? You should tell me now. Do you really have confidence?"
Lin Sanjiu had no confidence at all, but that didn't stop her from deciding to deceive Bohemia.
"Yes, don't worry. Just listen to me," she replied.
Bohemia seemed to only want reassurance. Hearing Lin Sanjiu's words, she pursed her lips and stood silently by Lin Sanjiu's side. The owner of the pocket dimension was round and fat, walking slowly. After watching him for a while, Lin Sanjiu suddenly asked, "Did you see a star before we left?"
"I saw many stars."
"But that one was different... It seemed to be flying straight towards us."
"Really? Maybe you were mistaken," Bohemia's thoughts were not focused on stars at the moment. She stared at the pocket dimension owner, who had taken his position, and involuntarily swallowed hard. She couldn't help but glance at Lin Sanjiu again, asking for help, "Do you really have confidence... huh?"
Lin Sanjiu glanced back at her.
"You seem a little... different," Bohemia said, taken aback.
Lin Sanjiu smiled gently, like a breeze caressing a mountain stream.
Bohemia blinked twice, wanting to say something but couldn't find the words. Just then, the voice of the pocket dimension owner resounded loudly in the bright space.
"Alright, I announce that the Candy Crush game is now officially beginning!"
