Dream Travel

Chapter 169 Like a Fraud
"The Bureau knows I want to bring someone out, right?"

"I know." Bo Lei said casually. The handling bureau should have known about this matter. Although Bai Mu had never seen it, there really was a dreamer in the local handling bureau.

However, their work has no direct connection with strange dreams; at most they study things related to strange dreams.

After all, dream creatures are more likely to encounter accidents when facing dream erosion, so they basically will not engage in actions related to dreams.

After a moment of thought, Borei added, "Once Alexei's dream is completely stable, the Bureau will give you a response."

"The demand for the processing bureau would be huge by then, right?"

Bo Lei nodded. The processing bureau has invested so many resources, and it is naturally time to recoup the investment. The demand for the development of strange dreams will naturally increase.

Moreover, after confirming that there is sufficient possibility, we must find a way to bring out the imperial weapons and other things in that world.

Bai Mu has excellent carrying capacity, so he will be indispensable in transporting express delivery.

"Okay, I'm going back now. If you have any interesting dreams, remember to contact me."

Bai Mu left the processing bureau carrying his weapons box and headed straight for No. 214 in the downtown area.

"You seem to be coming here too often." The craftsman saw that it was Baimu and said with a hint of disgust, "You'll bring trouble to me."

"You still care about this?"

"Of course I care." The craftsman emphasized this. "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Upgrade the equipment." Bai Mu patted his weapon box. The Dream Erosion Crystal was taking up space.

"Okay, give me the money."

Bai Mu took out some materials he had collected, which were left after Lucyela ate the dangerous species.

The craftsman was even more disgusted: "I don't accept junk here, you can go to Lily for this kind of thing."

"I stopped by your place."

"fart!"

The craftsman accepted the materials with disdain and helped Bai Mu enhance the weapon box and spirit axis with dream erosion crystals.

"...Come back next time if you have such resources." Looking at the weapon box with white curtains, the craftsman changed his words.

He made the stuff. The quality of the dream erosion crystals brought by Bai Mu was too high. Although it would not cause a qualitative change in the weapon box and Lingshu firearms, the improvement in the dream erosion properties was obvious.

He wanted to see what the dream-eroding properties of these two things would look like after being sublimated.

The sublimation of Dream Erosion properties can affect the material of equipment. Afterwards, the changed material can be analyzed through some methods to obtain new materials.

"Well, you just scolded me, make it up to me."

The craftsman spoke bluntly: "You look like a woman."

"Make me some strong wire, the more conductive the better."

"Okay." The craftsman glanced at Baimu's weapon box and agreed without hesitation.

It was just metal wire. He had plenty of it, so there was no need to make any. The craftsman simply handed Bai Mu a metal box: "There are 500 meters of metal wire inside, which can bear half a ton. The box can automatically recycle the wire. Be careful not to get any tangles."

"Is this material so powerful?" Bai Mu pulled out a metal wire from the box. The diameter of this thing is less than one millimeter, but its strength is so high.

"There are more powerful ones. Okay, get out of my house." The craftsman drove them away.

After getting what he wanted, Bai Mu left the craftsman's house. After returning to his residence, Bai Mu found that his house was quite clean. There was no dust accumulated due to the long time he had been away. It must have been cleaned by someone.

Lily?
Putting the weapon box on the table, Bai Mu reached out and knocked on it. This time when he used the Dream Erosion Crystal to strengthen the weapon box, the box did not glow, which made him quite disappointed.

According to Lily's explanation, when using Dream Erosion Crystals to enhance the Dream Erosion attributes, glowing means that the Dream Erosion attributes are approaching the critical point, and continuing to enhance it can sublimate the Dream Erosion equipment.

The weapon box and spirit axis haven't glowed yet, and they are even further away from sublimation.

"Go to sleep!" Bai Mu yawned, feeling that he had neglected his new house. He had hardly lived here since he bought it. It seemed that it would be better to rent it?
Thinking of this, he discarded the idea. It didn't matter whether he rented it or not. The main thing was that he wanted to have a place of his own.

He had nothing in this world at the beginning, so he must have something of his own now, right?
At night, a brief exchange of gunfire was heard, and the chaotic roar soon disappeared, and several staff members from the processing bureau carried out some bodies.

There are monsters and there are their colleagues.

The last 'brain in a vat' was transported out, and the on-site engineer conducted a comparison test: "The type of dream eclipse is different from the previously seized dream terminals. It is associated with a new dream source."

"The fourth one." Bo Lei frowned. During the time Bai Mu was away, the relevant cleaning work was still in progress.

However, the more the subsequent investigation progressed, the greater the resistance it encountered, resulting in the Bureau having no choice but to clean up the civilian dream terminals.

Some companies also have control over the Yimeng terminals, but those companies have great influence. They said that after making corresponding protective measures, they will properly deal with those Yimeng terminals.

Some companies have even begun to support this kind of thing, saying that this thing is an advanced product of the development and exploration of strange dreams!

There are a lot of positive and negative problems, which seriously hinder the work of the processing bureau.

Judging from the current wind direction, Bo Lei can foresee what will happen in the future...

This type of dream terminal is likely to become legal, and after it becomes legal, the only thing that needs to be dealt with is the issue of regulation.

This thing is still inaccessible to ordinary people, but it is extremely beneficial to companies and enterprises.

This can make some monopolized dreams open source. Some companies are definitely unwilling to do this, but they are willing for other peers to do so!

Anyway, they are using the Yimeng terminal, and any problems that arise are still on the Yimeng source side. They don't need to take risks and can still develop and explore Yimeng.

Not only that, another dream walker recently met with an accident, and the murderer was quickly caught. The other party was a human, and it was a murder case.

"I hope not too much." A man next to Borre sighed. As long as interests are involved in anything, things that were originally going smoothly will encounter resistance.

Four different types of dream terminals mean that it will take more time for the processing bureau to investigate the organizations in the dream world.

Moreover, the targets are too scattered, making it difficult to find the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Judging from the current resistance, there is no hope of investigating the mastermind behind this unless the country's president issues a death order.

This thing is like cockroaches. When they are exposed, it means that there are too many of them to hide.

"Let's focus on one investigation first." Bo Lei frowned even more tightly: "If we continue like this, we will become more and more passive!"

The mastermind behind the scenes may not be found, but the dream source associated with the dream terminal must be dealt with.

The sealed dream sources can be developed under sufficiently complete monitoring and protection.

This is the case with the development of Alexi's dream. So far, the human resources invested by the processing bureau have not been damaged, and the most serious injuries have occurred.

Therefore, Alexi's dreams have always been stable, without any new holes appearing.

This is a very safe development process.

However, the dream sources connected to the Dream Terminals were different. They were combined with a special "brain marrow" created from the Dream Walker's brain, allowing ordinary people to avoid dream corruption and enter and exit dreams. Furthermore, their wide distribution and involvement of so many people meant that some unlucky individuals would inevitably emerge. If a dream had too many holes, it could have the impact of a nuclear weapon.

Therefore, after confirming that the dreams associated with these dream terminals are very dangerous, the processing bureau will make preparations to kill the source of the dreams.

Instead of waiting for the source of strange dreams to be developed into an extremely dangerous strange dream nuclear bomb, it is better to detonate it in advance and completely destroy this possibility.

When the source of the dream dies, the dream disappears, and the terminal associated with the dream will also become invalid.

This may be unfair to Yimengyuan, but if things are not handled properly, it will be more dangerous to reality.

Even if you cannot kill the source of the dream in the dream, at least you must find the source of the dream in the dream and restrict or protect it.

The next day, Bai Mu woke up and opened the wardrobe. Looking at the dozen or so sets of the same clothes hanging inside, he casually took out a set and put it on, then threw the set he had taken off yesterday into the washing machine.

Lily bought her a washing machine when she was decorating her new home. Considering the impact that strange dreams had on this world, Bai Mu didn't care about the style of the washing machine, as long as it was easy to use.

After making a simple breakfast, Baimu went to the Yimeng Experience Store.

"I want to learn something about 'magic'."

"Oh?" Lily looked at the white screen with some confusion: "You want to learn this?"

"Really?"

"Of course, why are you interested in this?" Lily asked curiously.

Bai Mu looked at the street outside the door and asked quietly, "So, there are actually magicians in Rota City?"

"Probably, but not too much."

"Is it awesome?"

Lily looked at Bai Mu and said, "You probably won't meet someone as strong as him, but if you do meet someone like him, you should be able to defeat him."

That sounds pretty average.

Bai Mu continued the previous topic: "A friend of mine encountered some problems, and I want to learn some necromancy that can keep people alive."

"That's a lot to ask for. Is that friend of yours you?"

"It's definitely not me. Why would I want to know about this?"

Lily said nothing and looked at Baimu's weapon box.

"It has nothing to do with this. I'm trying to save someone!"

"Let's talk somewhere else." Lily took Baimu to the small room.

Perhaps because she was familiar with the place, she didn't even think of bringing water or some snacks. She just sat down opposite the white curtain. Lily said, "Some demons master the magic of controlling corpses, but there are also other dark creatures with similar powers.

If the friend you're talking about is important, I recommend you find a vampire. Some vampires don't like being called that; they prefer to call themselves vampires."

"Which one is better?" Bai Mu continued to ask. He had read a lot of novels, but they were just novels. He should listen to the opinions of professionals in this regard.

"Based on your needs, wouldn't it be more appropriate to find a vampire? If it's a female friend, at least you don't have to worry about decay."

"You're putting too much emphasis on this."

"Heh..." Lily crossed her arms and smiled without saying anything.

"Okay, where can we find vampires? And what do we do with them once we find them? Can't we just hack them to death?"

"Vampires are also legal citizens. It's illegal to just kill one of them."

This is just like the devil, right?
"Why are there so many problems? Actually, you can try a less extreme method. My friend has a health problem, and it's not a congenital disease. It's caused by drug enhancement."

Lily thought for a moment and said, "Is that so? Then your idea is actually quite good. The side effects of drug enhancement are difficult to cure. It would be best to just change your physique."

"Then can we use a biochemical virus?"

"I'm not a doctor, why are you asking this?" Lily glanced at Bai Mu and said, "Then you should find a more professional one."

Bai Mu said regretfully: "I thought you knew everything."

"I know everything and would open a store here?"

"It's hard to say. First, tell me what you know, vampire..."

Lily interrupted Bai Mu and said, "That's all I know. Some wealthy, seriously ill individuals will pay a large sum of money to find vampires and transform themselves into them to prolong their lives. If you want to help your friend, you'll have to find an intermediary yourself."

Bai Mu was shocked: "There's an agent here?"

"Those wealthy people said it's possible, but most of these intermediaries have problems. When vampires transform into their own kind, they can dominate the transformed ones."

Bai Mu was not surprised by this, as there were a lot of such settings in novels and movies.

"Those rich people are not fools, right?"

"Of course not. That's why there are corresponding 'intermediaries'. The wealthy and capable have reliable intermediaries, and the vampires who do the work don't dare to have other thoughts, but if they find an unreliable intermediary... hehehe."

Bai Mu understood that unreliable intermediaries were most likely colluding with some vampires to specifically cheat the rich.

"Can this world continue to be normal?" Bai Mu felt that the world was in danger and there were too many things going on.

"It's much better than before," Lily said nonchalantly. "Even if you can find a reliable agent, if you don't have enough influence, you should be prepared to be ripped off."

"I might as well go find a wild vampire."

"You want to be your own 'agent'?"

"It's not a bad idea to help a friend temporarily."

Lily reminded Bai Mu: "Then be careful not to get discovered. I don't accept people with criminal records here."

So this thing called "agent" is illegal?
Bai Mu consulted Lily about some other things. After finding out that he didn't have the teaching resources he wanted, he bought some wire from Lily and left the experience store.

The metal wire given by the craftsman is of good quality, so he plans to recycle it, and the poor quality ones will be treated as consumables.

Afterwards, Bai Mu went to the gym. He had nothing to do, so he couldn’t just go home and play with the cat, right?

In almost a week, Bai Mu saw a lot of letters in his personal mailbox at the gym.

In the private dressing room, Bai Mu was flipping through these letters. Many of them were invitations from companies, while others were commission invitations from extraordinary people and dream walkers.

The remuneration offered by this type of invitation is extremely generous, higher than the prices offered by those companies.

"Why does it look like a scam?" After Bai Mu looked at the letters for a long time, this feeling became stronger and stronger. He threw all the letters into the weapons box.

After the event, he will go find a professional to take a look. Some of the content is indeed very tempting. He wants to try to rob the cheaters.
