I loaded the dream game

After thinking for a moment, he changed "Proficient" to "Beginner", and the points required were reduced from 10 to 4 accordingly.

After confirmation, a lot of knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind, and the feeling of holding the pistol was no longer as awkward as before.

This function is quite useful, Xia Zhi thought.

At least it is much more convenient and easier to use than functions like the redemption store. You can just spend points to modify what you want.

"I remember it was said at the beginning that dream points can be obtained by completing tasks, right?"

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi said "Open the task list", and several subtitles immediately appeared in front of him:

【Currently ongoing tasks】

[Main Mission 1: Survive for 60 Days]

[Task Reward: 5 Dream Points/Day]

[Main Mission 2: Ensure Yukinoshita Yukino survives until the end of Main Mission 1]

[Task Reward: 400 Dream Points]

[Complete all main missions: additional reward of 400 dream points]

Without paying attention to the other contents, Xia Zhi's attention was attracted by a name above:

"Yukikinoshita Yukino?"

The most popular girl in that school, was also pulled into this dream copy?

Xia Zhi lowered his head and thought for a moment.

Combined with the word "heroine" mentioned in the previous game, he had some guesses in his mind.

Just as more than two terminals are needed to build a network, dream games also require more than two "servers" to maintain the long-term stable existence of the dream.

Therefore, the two main tasks are to ensure the safety of the two people, because once one of them dies, perhaps this dream can no longer be maintained.

"So, what I hate most is forced social games." Xia Zhi complained.

Of course, all of the above are just his guesses, and it is still unknown whether this is true or not. But one thing is certain, that is, if he wants to get dream points, he must find Yukinoshita Yukino as soon as possible.

What is created here may not be brought back to reality, but what about the knowledge gained? Summer Solstice is still unknown.

But if it is possible, it means that as long as he has enough dream points, he can master all the knowledge in the world in an instant. Even those knowledge that humans have not yet mastered, can they also learn it by modifying dreams?

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi became excited.

Dream point...Ah no, Yukinoshita-san, I'm coming to find you!

.......

Chapter 3 Circumventing the Limitations of Causality

"Um...is this here?"

After waking up from her sleep, Yukinoshita Yukino opened her eyes and found herself in a strange place.

What caught my eye were rows of shelves and neatly placed cartons on the shelves. Judging from the words "snacks" and "daily necessities" printed on the cartons, this seemed to be the warehouse of a convenience store or supermarket.

Why am I here?

Such doubts arose in Yukinoshita Yukino's heart.

In her memory, she was reading in the service department classroom just now. Suddenly she felt a little sleepy, so she wanted to lie on the table and rest for a while, and then she came to this strange place.

There was no information in this memory about how she appeared here.

"Is it a dream?"

The girl pinched her arm lightly and felt a clear sense of pain.

Not only that, the slight warmth of the sunlight outside the window, the slight itch of hair brushing against my cheeks, and the feeling of my heart beating, everything was so clear. If this was also a dream, then this dream was too real.

"Boom...boom..."

Just as Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head in thought, a heavy knock on the door made her body stiffen in an instant.

……

When looking for something like this and there are no clues, of course you have to start from the nearest place.

Unfortunately, Xia Zhi searched the entire teaching building and did not find another living person besides himself. Instead, he found a lot of materials and traces of human life in some rooms. They should have been left by the survivors of the previous academy.

At the same time, he also triggered a side quest called [Clear the zombies in the academy]. After completing it, he would be rewarded with 100 dream points, which was not a small amount.

"College Life Department..."

Looking up at the words on the paper that was originally pasted on the doorplate of the student union classroom, Xia Zhi roughly knew which world this copy was based on.

When he saw the combination of a school and zombies, the first thing he thought of was "Gakuen of the Dead", but...

"I didn't expect it to be an isolated school island..."

Judging from the signs of life found in the room and the fact that there are no other living people in the teaching building, this should be the timeline after the protagonists left the academy, right?

Xia Zhi was a little uncertain because he couldn't tell whether the game had made any other changes to this copy.

But these are not the key points. The most important thing now is to find where Yukinoshita Yukino is.

The academy where the protagonists of the original world lived is one of the few relatively safe areas known to date. This can be seen from the fact that they did not encounter many zombies during the summer solstice.

If Yukinoshita's "starting point" was not here, but some other more dangerous place, then it would be troublesome.

Human physical strength is limited. Without the help of external plug-ins like Xia Zhi, once the girl is besieged by zombies, it is almost equivalent to being in a dead end.

"There is no other way. I can only use this trick."

In order to prevent his first dream copy from collapsing halfway, Xia Zhi had to borrow the power of plug-ins.

He closed his eyes and thought about wanting to know the exact location of Yukinoshita Yukino, but he received a prompt that he needed to consume 10 dream points.

Ten o'clock?

Xia Zhi thought about it for a moment and quickly reacted.

"So these ten points are for me to use here?" he complained.

Unfortunately, due to the consumption of converting to a pistol and learning gun shooting, he now only has five dream points left, which is not enough to obtain the location information of Yukinoshita Yukino.

Do you want to reduce the number of dream points consumed by sacrificing search accuracy?

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi rejected this idea. A larger search range would mean more time and energy. His bullets and physical strength were limited, and Yukinoshita might not be able to hold on for too long.

"Then we have to try another way." He quickly came up with an idea.

"Set..." Xia Zhi closed his eyes again and said softly: "In three seconds, my mind will recall several random characters one by one. These characters themselves have no meaning and do not contain any additional information. It is just that when they are combined, they happen to indicate the specific location of Yukinoshita Yukino at present."

[This modification will consume 3 dream points. Do you want to confirm the modification? ]

It worked!

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, it is feasible to use this trick to circumvent the consumption limit of dream points, he thought to himself.

Just like if a monkey is given enough time, it may eventually type out a complete set of Shakespeare's works, the characters typed by the monkey have no meaning in themselves, but they just happen to coincide with meaningful text after random arrangement and combination.

Xia Zhi used this method to circumvent the limitations of the law of causality. He did not directly learn the specific location of Xueshita, but the few words he remembered happened to express the same meaning when put together. If you have to look into it more deeply, you can only say that this is just a coincidence.

"confirm."

As the words fell, the dream points decreased accordingly to only two points.

Three seconds later, several words emerged from Xia Zhi's mind one by one. He memorized these words one by one and arranged them in order:

"The third floor storage room in the shopping mall..."

——Found you!

Xia Zhi opened his eyes and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"Storage room? As long as you don't open the door casually, it's a relatively safe place. It should be enough to hold you over until I arrive."

Xia Zhi thought to himself and prepared to go to the shopping mall.

However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered something and his body froze in place.

"By the way...where is the shopping mall?"

Chapter IV: Absolute Command

The good news was that Xia Zhi later found a map of the city in the teacher's office, which saved him the extra cost of converting the map.

The bad news is that the cars parked downstairs are basically damaged to the point where they cannot be driven, and his remaining points are not enough to support him in repairing these cars.

In desperation, Xia Zhi had to turn his attention to the bicycle in the corner of the parking lot.

……

"Boom...boom..."

There were heavy banging sounds coming from the door, with a certain time interval between each bang, one after another, rhythmically.

It has been almost half an hour since the knock on the door started, but the person outside still hasn't given up. He seems tireless and has no intention of stopping.

"Not a human." Yukinoshita Yukino made a judgment in her heart.

After the initial panic, she quickly calmed down and analyzed her current situation.

Judging from the height from which the banging sound came, the person outside who was banging on the door was obviously as tall as a normal adult, but the force he was using was much smaller than that of an ordinary person, as if "he" was just banging on the door aimlessly.

A hoarse roar could be heard from the crack in the door from time to time. Although it sounded a bit chilling, it was indeed a voice unique to human beings.

The voice and shape are like humans, but the behavior is not like humans. What on earth is this thing?

Yukinoshita pursed her lips, moved the cartons from the shelf and piled them in front of the door. While blocking and reinforcing the door, it also allowed her to climb to a higher place by stepping on the stacked cartons. She carefully opened the air vent above the door and took a look outside.

"...!"

what is that?

The skin was pale, the body was festering, the limbs were covered in blood and were broken, and the human figure could barely be recognized. It didn't look like he was still alive, but he was still able to move.

This unreasonable scene reminded Yukinoshita of a fantasy creature that should only exist in novels and film and television works - zombies.

So, I am still dreaming, right?

Yukinoshita's mind was a little confused, and she thought she might need to calm down.

What has the outside world become?

This was the first question that came to her mind.

Judging from the information revealed by some signs on the shelves and the notes posted on the wall, she should be in a large shopping mall now.

It was afternoon, which should have been the busiest time for the mall, but apart from the sound of people banging on doors, she didn't hear any other sounds. The entire mall was eerily quiet, as if there were no living people outside.

No, not like.

If there were still people outside, with such a big commotion here, they should have come over to check it out. But now more than half an hour has passed and still no one has come to check.

Considering the zombie she saw outside the door, Yukinoshita had already prepared for the worst.

"I can only rely on myself." The girl said in a low voice.

……

With a slight "bang" sound, a zombie fell to the ground.

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and put away the pistol.

This was his first attempt to kill a zombie with a pistol. Although he missed the target due to nervousness, it was not a big deal. As long as he shot through the head, the effect would be the same.

To be able to achieve such accuracy in his first shot even though he had never touched a gun before, his basic gun shooting skills must be more powerful than he imagined.

[Achievement: First Blood! ]

[Reward 10 Dream Points]

Looking at the ten extra dream points in the points column, Xia Zhi felt that he could have fun again.
