Unable To Leave

As the name suggested, the so-called knowledge space was naturally used to learn.

“There’s a profound knowledge hidden behind every door you see. You just have to push open the door and you can learn a lot from it.” Little Brat encouraged her. “Now, pick any door you want.”

But Huanhuan hesitated. She didn’t know how long it would take to learn these things. “I want to go out and inform Bai Di and the others first so they won’t worry.”

If Bai Di and the others saw her suddenly lose consciousness and fall to the ground, they would be very worried.

But Little Brat said, “You can’t get out now.”

“Why?”

“This space has a limit on the number of times it can be opened. It can only be opened once a month. You have to learn something first or you won’t be able to leave.”

Huanhuan was speechless. “This place actually makes learning mandatory?!”

Little Brat comforted her. “God was probably afraid of encountering someone who refused to study hard and who would waste the great opportunity to enter the learning space. That’s why He set this rule. Don’t waste time. Hurry up and study. After you’re done, you can go out and reunite with your family.”

Helpless, Huanhuan could only compromise.

She found the door closest to her, pushed it open, and walked in.

Little Brat didn’t follow her in. He stood there and watched her leave.

When the door closed, Huanhuan’s figure was isolated. Little Brat looked away. He looked up at the circular dome and raised his hand. With a wave, the complicated formulas turned into a blue sky and white clouds in the blink of an eye.

This was the consciousness space. Although it was supported by divine power, God was long dead. With Little Brat’s ability, he could change the arrangements here at will.

He turned the marble floor under his feet into green grass, then the tables, chairs, and teacups into flowers and birds.

The originally quiet and busy hall immediately became lively.

Little Brat lay on the bench and drank his tea slowly.

He had been with Huanhuan for a long time. Due to her personality, he had become fond of a lively atmosphere.

Little Brat produced an hourglass and placed it on the table.

The fine sand flowed bit by bit.

…

The door Huanhuan chose was filled with knowledge about forging.

As soon as she entered, a large pile of basic forging knowledge was forced into her mind. She was dizzy and could not stand steadily.

As if expecting this reaction, a chair appeared behind her in time.

She leaned back and landed squarely on the chair.

When she had finally digested the basics in her mind, a bearded dwarf appeared in front of her. His body was translucent. He looked very much like an image released by a projector.

As soon as he saw Huanhuan, he was furious. “Why is it a girl?!”

Huanhuan looked confused.

The big-bearded dwarf jumped up and down in anger. “I’ve waited for so many years, but it turns out all I’ve been waiting for is a little girl. Oh my God, look at her small arms and legs. She probably can’t even lift a hammer, let alone forge!”

Huanhuan asked tentatively, “May I ask who you are?”

“I’m the mentor in charge of teaching forging!” the bearded dwarf said angrily, not even introducing himself.

His eyes were still looking Huanhuan up and down, and his eyebrows were furrowed. It was obvious that he was getting more and more dissatisfied with this student.

Although Huanhuan didn’t understand what was going on, she could roughly sense that the bearded dwarf in front of her didn’t seem to like her.

She said embarrassedly, “I just casually pushed open a door. I don’t know the rules of your teaching. If you’re unwilling to teach me, I can leave now. I’m sorry to disturb you.”

Huanhuan stood up and bowed slightly to him. Then, she was about to turn around and leave.

Anyway, there were many doors here. Even if the teacher behind this door was unwilling to teach her, she could try her luck behind the other doors.

“Stop!” the bearded dwarf called after her.

Huanhuan stopped and looked down at the forging mentor who was much shorter than her. “Is there anything else?”

The bearded dwarf hated being looked down on. He pulled out a stool from somewhere and climbed onto it to stand. His height was just enough to keep Huanhuan at eye level.

“Little girl, this isn’t a place you can come and go as you please.”

Huanhuan: “…”

Why did he sound like he was looking for trouble?

She asked, “Then what do you want?”

“Since you’re already here, you have to learn everything I teach you before you can leave. If others find out that you entered my door but didn’t learn anything, they’ll definitely laugh their heads off!”

Huanhuan thought to herself that this bearded dwarf was quite prideful.

She shook her thin arms. “But didn’t you just say that I can’t even lift a hammer? How can I learn to forge like this?”

As if insulted, the bearded dwarf gritted his teeth and said with a dark expression, “I’ll carry it for you!”

Huanhuan immediately smiled. “Thank you so much, Teacher.”

The sweet word ‘teacher’ immediately reduced the bearded dwarf’s anger by a fair bit.

He snorted awkwardly. “What’s your name?”

“My name is Lin Huanhuan. You can call me Huanhuan.”

“What a strange name,” the bearded dwarf muttered. “Sit back down. I’ll sort out the basics of forging with you.”

Huanhuan obediently sat back in her chair and listened seriously.

Looking at her obedient appearance, the bearded dwarf thought that although this little girl was too delicate. She was obedient and willing to learn. She was much more sensible than the little ones he had come into contact with when he was still alive.

…

Today was the 10th day of Huanhuan’s coma.

Shuang Yun was anxious. “What’s wrong with Huanhuan? Don’t tell me she’s seriously ill? Should we find a witch doctor to take a look at her?”

“There’s no witch doctor here. There’s only a shaman.” Xue Ling didn’t look too good. He had been guarding the bed for the past few days. He looked at the unconscious Huanhuan and was so anxious that he didn’t even want to touch Eggy who was in his arms.

He stood up. “I’ll ask Archie and Elman if there are any shamans around here.”

Huanhuan’s current state was really worrying. Xue Ling decided to find a shaman to take a look at her.

Shuang Yun immediately followed. “I’ll go with you.”

After the two of them left, Bai Di and Huanhuan were the only ones left in the bedroom.

Huanhuan lay quietly on the bed, still holding the small gear in her hand. Her eyes were closed, her expression was peaceful, and her breathing was steady. She looked like she was asleep.

Those who didn’t know better wouldn’t be able to tell that she had been unconscious for a full 10 days.

Bai Di took her hand and lowered his head to kiss the back of it. His voice was hoarse from days of anxiety and fatigue.

“Huanhuan, wake up…”
