Chapter 365
The loyalty of the black swan is not important.

All Jujue needs is something she does to show her loyalty.

"The lawns and roads outside the house will be dealt with by a dedicated team soon, please rest assured."

Standing at the entrance of the house, Black Swan subconsciously wanted to take off his shoes, but saw Zhu Jue, who had turned into a gentleman again, walking in without paying attention, so he could only follow quickly.

Modern smart anti-theft devices should be extremely useful, but I met a Zhu Jue who could become the owner of the house, and easily passed the smart detection at the door with a gentleman's key.

Everyone has been killed, and now is the time to reap the fruits. Zhu Jue found the gentleman's workshop, entered in the same way, and saw the suitcase on the table at a glance.

"Tell me about the gentleman's situation, including the organization you went to make a deal tonight."

Unlocking the lock on the suitcase, Zhu Jue paused, turned to look at the black swan, and said suddenly,
"There won't be a lot of content, it's almost 12 o'clock now. Pick the important ones first, such as what you did in the dreamland."

"Mr. Gentleman. No matter whether a gentleman is in this world or in the dreamland, he has a considerable amount of property."

Black Swan considered the words and sentences, trying to explain the gentleman's situation in relatively concise words.

But if you want to explain what has happened over the years, it can't be expressed in one or two paragraphs.

So the black swan spoke for nearly an hour.

Aside from the miscellaneous and useless information in Zhu Jue's eyes, a considerable part of the inside story revealed by the black swan still surprised Zhu Jue.

As Zhu Jue thought before, the gentleman's management in the dreamland in recent years is not only his lie of the "Sparkling Gold Bank" and his noble title, what is really worth paying attention to is that he used his noble status in Usa Town, Commercial stations opened in Nier City and other places.

That's right, in addition to being a nobleman in the dreamland, this guy is actually a small businessman. At first, he relied on sending some candy and meat from the real world into the dreamland through the space gate to sell, and then he became a businessman in the short term. In just a few years, relying on his secret operations and the "efforts" of those "temporary workers", it has developed into a chamber of commerce all over the place, and even the port of Dilas has his business station. According to Black Swan, the scale Not too small.

What is a business station?

This is a relatively general statement. To put it bluntly, it is our common wholesale market or a market that belongs to merchants.

The gentleman provides a trading place for merchants from all over the world, and he himself takes a cut from it and resells various materials back and forth, and these merchants from all over the dreamland will bring information from all over the place without exception, so the gentleman is also equivalent to He built a chain of intelligence collection stations for himself.

The two people I met in Bailu Square before used the title "broker" when referring to the gentleman, and there are probably factors in this aspect.

Besides, the person who traded with the gentleman in Bailu Square tonight belongs to the Dreamland Brigade. In various senses, they are the "Sparkling Gold Bank" mentioned by the gentleman. A mysterious organization with countless ties.

Compared with the gentleman, this organization has a better understanding of the dreamland, and the contact time is much earlier than the gentleman does not know.

Under the narration of the black swan, Zhu Jue realized that the number of space gates controlled by the so-called dream brigade was actually very small, and could be counted with two hands.

Some people may ask, since they control very few space gates and are distributed all over the world, how can the entire dream brigade enter and exit the dreamland?
In fact, Zhu Jue also asked this question immediately.

Dream medicine!

This is the core item formed by the Dream Brigade, a special secret medicine handed down from unknown when and where.

The person who drinks the potion will quickly fall asleep and fall into a strange state, and the strange thing is that all people who drink the same potion will find that they are all in the same dream, and somehow enter the dreamland.

Even by adjusting the source of raw materials and the ratio of ingredients, the caster can adjust the place where he enters the dreamland. For example, the ingredients of the dream medicine to go to Uzzah and to the city of Neil are exactly the same, but there is a certain smell in it. There may be more or less material.

In the real world, the sleep time brought by the potion is one hour, but the corresponding feeling in the dreamland can be long or short (short to a few days or long to a few years), which is like we often experience four seasons when we dream Jumping, waking up only to be lethargic for a few hours, the same is true for the effect of sleep medicine.

It's just that ordinary dreams are false, and they will naturally disappear with the wind after waking up, but everything that happens after entering the dreamland through the dream medicine is real!
Although Zhu Jue didn't quite understand the reason behind this, he just smacked his lips when he thought about it later.

There was no way, the dreamland was just like the spiritual pollution source monsters he had encountered before, it was a special place, and to put it bluntly, it was not scientific at all.

And this is also the reason why the dream brigade trades with the gentleman. Their items in the dreamland need to be transferred through the gentleman or simply purchased from him nearby, otherwise it will take a long time to wait for the items controlled by the organization. The procedures for the operation of the space door can be said to be very cumbersome, and this is also the origin of another title for a gentleman, "postman".

In the same way, the situation of the dream eaters organization on the gentleman's side is similar to that of the dream brigade, except that the nature of the former may be worse.

Zhu Jue once talked with Atar about outsiders in the Usa Cathedral. At that time, Atar mentioned that besides them, there are more outsiders who appear in the dreamland. is a dreamer.

At that time, Zhu Jue preconceived that the dreamers here were those who entered the dreamland unintentionally as the gentleman said, but now he realized that what Atar was talking about was actually those who entered the dreamland through the dream medicine.

At this time, Zhu Jue inevitably has doubts. Since the dream medicine can make people exist in the dreamland for a long time, why not just survive for a few years at a time and explore the dreamland clearly? It's an hour isn't it?
This has to involve the spiritual problems of human beings. The rules of the dream tour group are adjusted according to the strength of the soul of the individual. For ordinary people, three days is the maximum period (the gentleman's rules come from this). Is this a safe time? On the premise that the medicine is only used once a month, once this time is exceeded, the human brain will start to adapt to the environment of the dreamland.

Since the dreamland is also a mature world, if those people who enter from the real world stay in it for a long time, their brains will subconsciously think that the dreamland is the real world, and the original real world is just a dream , The longer the time, the more serious this kind of thinking will be!
And this is still unable to carry out self-awareness, it is probably like when a person is dreaming, he will not realize that he is dreaming at all.

This will make it more and more difficult for people to return to the real world. After the brain really begins to accept the dreamland, even if the effect of the medicine is lifted, people will always stay in the dreamland, and the body in the real world will naturally become a body without The shell of the soul.

This statement seems to be very similar to the ascension mentioned in Eastern religions or the entry into heaven in Western religions, leaving behind the earthly body, and the soul can live forever.
In fact, those people have gone to the dreamland?
When Zhu Jue thought of this, he still laughed secretly for a while at his strange guess that suddenly popped up.

In fact, if he had read Volume [-] of "The Secret Sutra of Seven Chapters of Xuanjun", he might not be able to laugh.
Aside from the above two things related to the dreamland, Black Swan finally mentioned the gentleman's property in the real world. The gentleman not only secretly manipulates some specialty products in the dreamland, but also relies on the accumulation of these years in the real world. There is also a huge amount of wealth accumulated in the world, otherwise it would be impossible to buy the villa in Waffle Hill.

It's just that in order to hide his identity, the gentleman appears as an investor in many cases, and has never had a company that really belongs to him. That is to say, he holds quite a few group shares in his hands, and he can be regarded as an investor in Dawn City. High class.

Of course, these assets now belong to Zhu Jue after the gentleman's death. After all, the gentleman's parents have passed away long ago, and he has no children. These industries have been managed by black swans and some managers since a long time ago, so naturally there will be no bullshit Daozao's inheritance competition.

It only takes two or three days, and the black swan will throw away most of the gentleman's assets, leaving only some relatively high-quality assets that can bring him a steady stream of wealth without Zhu Jue's presence, because Zhu Jue I don't have any interest in attending board meetings and receptions of various names.

Although Zhu Jue replaced the gentleman, he did not intend to "occupy" his house. First, the gentleman had to activate many of the equipment in that house. All the things used by gentlemen are used by gentlemen, and Zhu Jue also has no interest in sleeping in other people's beds.

Therefore, when Black Swan finished reporting some important matters to Zhu Jue and said that he would go back to deal with some other affairs, Zhu Jue agreed of course and went directly to his home in Heywood District.

With the existence of the scavenger body, Zhu Jue doesn't need to care about whether the black swan will take the opportunity to escape. Anyway, he knows almost what he should know now. It is best if the black swan is sensible. If it is really unclear, I wish I don't mind getting rid of another person.

"Huh~ Now let's get some other gains."

After washing up, Zhu Jue, who changed into pajamas, sat on the sofa with a wind chime, put aside the suitcase containing the dream medicine that the gentleman had obtained from the Dream Brigade before, and took out the interspatial ring.

Compared with those assets in the real world and dreamland, the things stored in it are the benefits that Zhu Jue can actually see right now.

Putting on the interspatial ring, Zhu Jue rejoiced that this kind of treasure does not have the drama of recognizing relatives by dripping blood and recognizing the owner by dripping blood, but whoever gets it can use it.

With a wave of his hand, a spatial vortex immediately appeared out of thin air.

The originally empty desktop was filled to the brim in just a few seconds!
