New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 89 The Call of Nightmare (Subscribe)
After returning from Happy Home for the third time, Yuan Zhu still failed to meet the captain, but received a letter from other teammates that was stored with No. 3 (the mechanical maid).

Meng Xiyue and Zhou Chu, two Taixi residents, each left a letter for Yuan Zhu, along with their address. This was intended to establish a real-life connection, becoming pen pals for timely communication.

The former boasted in the letter that she had successfully become a "research subject" and a great treasure in the professor's eyes.

Unfortunately, the academy already knew about the "Gods' Space" and it wasn't rare. But the good news was that the academy attached great importance to the "Gods' Space" and was eager to learn more about the "Bubble World."

Her mentor decided to invest heavily in her training, cultivating Mengxi into a brilliant explorer with both literary and martial prowess. Not only was her tuition waived, but she also received access to a variety of restricted resources. Besides serving [Maomao Wang], she also helped the academy gather intelligence data.

At the end of the letter, Mengxi warned him to practice hard and become stronger. Otherwise, he would not be worthy of being her teammate and could only be her bag-carrying brother.

As for Zhou Chu's letter, it was full of various warnings, warning people to be wary of the 10 most popular supernatural scams in Taixi.

Don't believe the promises of the strange 'anti-law god and devil (I'm talking about the [Maomao King])'!

Notes for beginners of the Transcendent System. Six measures to prevent contamination.

Trust the Security Bureau and the honest lawyers. Report injustice when you see it. Be a model citizen and benefit future generations.

The prerequisite for jumping from [Holy Light System] to [Law System]: How to have a good time at both ends in the early stage of seal casting, and lay a solid foundation for future job-hopping.

In short, the whole article is about advising people to be good, to get closer to the Security Bureau, and to the pale lawyer. And between the lines, it implies that he will become her informant, and together they will keep a close eye on [Maomao Wang] and collect evidence of her crimes.

She was rebellious and made no secret of it. Yuan Zhu had begun to get used to her style, and the captain and [Maomao Wang] also chose to ignore and indulge her.

...

In addition, Lu Rang and Mai Lili also left their respective addresses, so they could definitely be dating below the Running Line.

Everyone is an employee of the Mao Mao King, gradually mastering extraordinary powers, and knowing each other's backgrounds. It is entirely possible to band together and form a small group, advancing and retreating together.

Many of Dulingxing's original "startup groups" were formed in this way. Some were lost in the tide of the times, while others grew larger and stronger, changing their appearance and rising to power.

In Zhou Chu's letter, he sternly warned the three of them not to let their sudden power lead them to lose control of their minds and turn to crime. Yuan Zhu was speechless, feeling as if he had an anti-fraud app installed on his head, constantly reminding him to obey the law.

As for the strong and fat black butcher, he remained aloof and did not participate in any communication.

In addition to receiving a bunch of contact information, Yuan Zhu also learned from No. 3 that [Maomao Wang] had no plans to embark on a new journey in the near future.

This "Happy Home" is truly slack. The boss behind the scenes lacks ambition, and the captain doesn't know how to persuade them. It can't compare to the "Infinite Flow" next door, where they raise Gu every day for missions and have an incredibly high mortality rate.

If you keep going like this, how can you sell luxury children's clothing throughout the [bubble layer]? When will you become the ultimate anti-law demon? You've truly let your employees down, [Mao Mao Wang]!
Although he couldn't meet the captain, he still gave a brief account of the "Disease Garden" and asked No. 3 to pass it on to him, to see if the other party would be interested. He also gave him a few disease-contaminated flowers, plants, and fruits, hoping to get the captain's approval.

What if this pollution implicates some powerful force he can't afford to offend? At worst, he could just withdraw from the haunted house and pretend nothing happened. If there were no hidden dangers, he would intensify his destructive mining!
In addition to these things, Yuan Zhu also hinted at the problem of "mental connection" perceived in the tiger demon form.

I didn't expect that No. 3 was really capable. Not only did he sweep the floor clean and wipe the table shiny, he also had a rich knowledge base.

After drinking a bottle of [Inferior Industrial Alchemical Elements] (a greeting gift) given by Yuan Zhu, Maid No. 3 was like someone who had drunk fake wine. She staggered out of control and even spoke in a silly manner.

All the politeness and manners she had always maintained were thrown aside. She started to complain to him, complaining that the Happy Home was too small and that she was like a bird in a cage.

Every day she can only feed sheep, plant tomatoes, clean, and cut children's clothes... She can only see other members of the team occasionally, and most of them treat her as a construct waiter.

Only Yuan Zhu was different. He brought her gifts and even treated her to a drink of the inferior alchemical elements from the Duling world. The taste was indeed rough, full of impurities, and strong, even tainting her alchemical core, giving her a strange experience she had never experienced before.

This made her more eager to break free from the cage and fly and explore freely in the wider world.

As for the mental connection problem that Tiger Demon encountered? The mechanical maid was already unconscious at the time, and she spoke a lot in a confused manner, about the sea of consciousness, the formation of the spirit sedition ritual... Yuan Zhu seemed to understand all of this, but the last one opened a door for him, that is, [The Call of Dreams].

The Tiger Demon has a weak connection with the peripheral members of the [Wishing Society], mainly because these peripheral members are all mortals with limited mental strength and cannot support the call of the "Superior Being".

Therefore, Yuan Zhu could transform the summoning scene into the less restraining [Dream Layer]. The difficulty of communicating and summoning between "gods" and "believers" in the dream world plummeted by more than ten times!
The Dream Realm has always been a haven for evil spirits to impart knowledge and spread supernatural powers. Both righteous and unorthodox sects alike enjoy communicating in the Nightmare Layer. Yuan Zhu even considered this Nightmare Layer comparable to the Sea of Consciousness, the difference being that one collapses inward, belonging to the "Inner World," while the other, lofty and expansive, stretches outward, belonging to the "Outer Universe."

It just so happened that he had once had an experience of entering a dream, so after purchasing a batch of cheap supplies in the [Maomaowang Special Offer Zone], he immediately returned to reality.

...

Yuan Zhu looked up at the clock on the wall. It was around 9 o'clock in the evening.

There was still time, so he rushed out of the bedroom and ran straight to a store near his community. He spent 6 yuan and bought two bottles of "Huangliang Huixiang".

Back home, he sensed most people wouldn't be asleep by then, so he suppressed his inner urge and sat in his room for another two hours, tuning his "holy light." When the clock struck 11:00, he gulped down a bottle of Echo and sank back into bed, waiting to fall asleep.

Since returning from [Huangliang Township] last time, he has specially collected information about the [Nightmare Layer] and also consulted the senior from Yuyuan, trying to figure out the connection between the [Nightmare Layer] and the [Foam Layer].

It just so happened that Rain Academy had also been offering specialized courses in the Nightmare School in recent years. They had been collaborating with the veteran white-skinned individuals on the East Coast to jointly research and explore the mysteries of the Nightmare Layer, and thus knew quite a bit about the inside story.

Nightmare and Bubble completely overlap, existing on the same layer and forming the Nightmare Bubble Layer. However, they can also be treated separately.

The world that is more physical is the [Foam Layer], and the more illusory and chaotic spiritual (dream) system is the [Nightmare Layer].

The Nightmare Bubble Layer is free from logic, time, or cause and effect, resulting in chaos and disorder. These instantaneously created and randomly destroyed bubble worlds are unobservable in both time and space, their coordinates shifting at a rapid pace, making them impossible for ordinary people to grasp or lock onto.

The natives of Duling Star lack the help of professional organizations of gods and demons like [Space of Gods], and their hearts are extremely greedy and they are extremely eager to develop one "bubble world" after another.

In their eyes, the [Nightmare Bubble Layer] contains endless resources and treasures, but also equal amounts of risks and crises.

Eventually, modern elves developed a completely new way of exploration, which they called the Nightmare School.

Starting from the more illusory and confusing [Dream], with the help of the dream that exists in all living beings, escape into the chaotic and disordered [Nightmare Bubble Layer], find out the 'Dream Paths' that are constantly switching and changing, and then use the [Nightmare Layer] to jump through and penetrate into the unknown [Bubble World].

The whole process is dangerous and full of unknowns, but it is indeed a way to bypass the firewall of the [Spiritual Layer] and communicate with the [Bubble Layer].

Therefore, the Nightmare Layer can be seen as a chaotic coordinate map of a chaotic and disordered world (the Foam Layer). Everyone is constantly changing, yet they can strangely match and lock onto each other, forming a series of rugged and dangerous "paths" for the Nightmare Scholar to traverse before they expire.

The Nightmare School is an adventurous school that specializes in exploring dreams, summarizing "paths" and mapping them. They obtain rich cultivation resources from the "Foam Layer" and sell limited-time "mature paths" to the public.

But just imagine the pollution index and degree of chaos in the [bubble layer] to understand the distortion of this school of thought and the probability of tragic death.

It feels like exploring the warp and digging for treasure in the Warhammer world.

...

[Huangliang Township] is attached to the outer wall of the [Spiritual Realm], very close to the west coast of the Duling New Continent, and is a legally registered [Nightmare Node] that has been developed into a super entertainment city that never sleeps.

Since the original ideas of the Nightmare School have spread and become unstoppable, the authorities should simply organize these schools together, legalize them, and monitor them, in order to control the danger as much as possible.

Each "Huangliang Township" became a work of the "Nightmare School" and was under official surveillance.

[Huangliang Township] By drinking "Huangliang Echo", it attracts a large number of residents from the west coast, allowing them to enter this decadent spiritual world and enjoy the "dream metaverse" entertainment service experience similar to surfing the Internet.

[Huangliang Township] will secretly harvest the "dream energy" of those who log in, and save it for opening up the path to the nightmare map.

Furthermore, there are a plethora of additional services: ordinary people can temporarily transcend spatial distances, exchanging information, conducting business negotiations, or conducting other legal (or illegal) transactions in their dreams, as well as enjoying a variety of unimaginable entertainment services.

In short, it is definitely more fun than in reality, and the experience is more real and exciting.

A prospective leader like Yuan Zhu can also use the unique attributes of [Huangliang Township] to secretly summon the peripheral members of Running's [Wishing Club] to enter the dream together to hold a meeting.
