Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 130 [130] The True Inheritance of Golden Ant Rice

The rice paddies are filled with rice stalks, a golden expanse as far as the eye can see, though some areas remain green and not yet fully ripe.

Wang Ya recalled what the log bridge had said, and looked with his Eye of Truth. He discovered that these golden rice grains seemed to be plants unique to the dream world, possessing special effects.

It just so happens that the Dream Creatures Atlas also contains records of them.

[Target: Golden Ant Rice]

[Details: A special dream plant. Once mature, each fruit represents a soon-to-be-born ant. If not harvested within the designated time, they will all burrow into the soil, forming an ant colony. Dream Wizard's Note: This can be eaten raw for maximum effect, enhancing physical and mental strength without any side effects.]

Wang Ya's eyes lit up; this was truly a treasure.

So much rice, and another batch of golden ant rice crops that are about to ripen. This must be an extraordinary resource site cultivated by a dream wizard. Its value can be seen from the annotations alone. Given the characteristics of dream creatures, it might even have an effect on formal wizards.

A vast treasure mountain.

Wang Ya remembered that the Dream Wizard had promised that as long as he had the ability to obtain the dream creatures in the Dream Garden, he could do whatever he wanted.

Golden ants are also considered living organisms!

Wang Ya moved slightly closer to the farmland, preparing to pick a plant and examine it closely.

But then he stopped and looked solemnly at the figures standing motionless in the rice paddy, covered in straw and dressed in tattered hemp clothes, just like scarecrows in the rice paddy of the mortal world.

But at this moment, the scarecrow in this dream world not only has human-like black hair, but also human flesh and blood, mixed with the straw, creating an extreme visual impact.

The strange aura it released made Wang Yadu feel a strong urge to eat it, so he walked towards the scarecrow and went to devour the human flesh and blood.

This is clearly abnormal.

The scarecrow standing there also gave Wang Ya a feeling of dread.

This must be the formidable guy that Dumuqiao was talking about.

It should be like those green snake-like lawns, dormant.

Wang Ya felt much more at ease and reached out to pick a stalk of golden ant rice.

The branches are brittle, like the shell of an arthropod, and the fruit on them is plump and encased in a transparent, amber-like substance.

Golden ants were scattered among them, looking quite beautiful and arousing Wang Ya's instinctive appetite.

He licked his lips, stretched out his finger, picked a fruit about the size of his little finger, put it in his mouth, and gently refused it.

Click!

A large amount of juice directly soaked into the mouth and then flowed into the brain through the flesh and blood.

A sharp, needle-like pain appeared in Wang Ya's mind. Although it was very brief, a surprised smile appeared on Wang Ya's face. The effect was real. Although the improvement was small, all this rice, if it were all put together into a bowl of rice and eaten, would be enough.

That was almost one-tenth the effect of the chocolate-colored liquid I had eaten at the Dream Wizard's.

This was accumulated over time; it was truly eaten as a staple food.

The Dream Wizard was right after all. The only way is within the Dream World, where everything is a tremendous opportunity, one that is impossible to obtain even in the Dark Lands headquarters.

Such extraordinary resources, combined with the characteristics of the Dream Wizard system, will result in a crushing improvement in mental strength, surpassing Wang Ya's previous abilities by five or ten times.

Wang Ya didn't linger. He put the rice stalk into the red metal ring and continued deeper inside. He then arrived at the entrance of the manor building.

The iron gate was covered in rust and was not locked. Wang Ya pushed it open gently, revealing overgrown weeds inside, suggesting that no one had been there for a long time.

There were still some lawns and vegetation in the courtyard, but they were all withered, leaving only black soil that was covered with a sheen.

Wang Ya discovered that these buildings were all ordinary buildings, without any dream creatures or dream world material characteristics.

His dream senses calmed down, and he went directly into the interior of the manor.

The manor wasn't large, and the interiors of the buildings were all designed for single-person living, with kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and studies. These were secondary, and because it hadn't been lived in or used for a long time, they were covered in dust and rust. Most importantly, the heart of the manor was an incredibly sophisticated laboratory, complete with wizarding equipment. While its scale couldn't compare to the Dream Tower, this wizarding equipment was extremely unique, seemingly designed specifically for researching the dream world and dream creatures.

The laboratory was in good working order and very clean, with a lot of writing and drafts on the worktables.

Wang Ya collected and organized them one by one, and then recorded them through the Eye of Truth, from which he learned a lot of information.

This made Wang Ya's expression complicated, and she thought to herself, "Teacher, so that's what you were thinking."

There were no challenges or dangers at all; on the contrary, Wang Ya gained a lot along the way.

Those truly dangerous things have long since fallen into slumber.

This is the teacher's method.

These manuscripts revealed the whole story to Wang Ya.

The information mostly consists of the Dream Wizard's conjectures about the dream world and dream creatures from his youth, as well as paper records of some experimental processes and results.

There were speculations about the dream world, and explorations of his own wizarding path. All these things seemed to converge into a young figure, operating these instruments in front of Wang Ya, sitting at the workbench and constantly researching day after day, year after year. As time passed, the young wizard became more and more mature, and his understanding of the dream world and his own wizarding path became clearer and clearer.

Ultimately, this figure grew into a dream wizard in a yellow wizard's robe, wearing a strange wooden eye mask.

Wang Ya's mood became somewhat heavy; it was a kind of pressure, but also a kind of encouragement.

It seems he will be spending the rest of his time here.

The golden ant rice can meet his living needs.

A log bridge can attract more dream creatures, which can serve as evidence for the research and improvement of the Dream Wizard's path.

Wizard experiments and wizard dissections all require the sacrifices of the individuals being tested.

The Dream Wizard had already considered everything.

Perhaps there are even other such things in various parts of the Dream Garden, prepared for him, waiting for him to explore and understand.

The teacher believed that he could complete the shaping of the path to becoming a dream wizard within the Dream Garden.

Wang Ya clenched his right hand; he couldn't let his teacher down.

Having come this far, and having thoroughly researched even the products related to evil gods, the mere dream wizard system and dream creatures are no match for him.

He has no shortage of potential, resources, wisdom, character, or supportive tools.

He had all the advantages: favorable timing, advantageous location, and popular support.

Therefore, he firmly believed that he would succeed, and there was no reason for him to fail.

P.S.: That's all for today's update, 13,000 words in total. I'm exhausted. I haven't eaten yet, going out for some snail rice noodles for a late-night snack. Goodnight, everyone.
