I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Chapter 101 New Equipment in the Safe Zone (3K)

After all, it's a system record, a product of the workshop, and a test result from a spell power tester, so it's likely to be accurate.

He just made a mistake.

Or perhaps it's because the workshop wasn't a good fit for him, causing his performance to be slightly off-balance.

"Let's try moving this to the training room, or we can put one in the small garden outside."

Shi An quickly manufactured the second and third curse power testing devices.

This thing isn't cheap to build, but since he controls the safe zone and makes a fortune every day, he doesn't care about such a small expense.

Shi An planned to move one of the testing devices to Training Room No. 1 first.

But then it suddenly dawned on him: why bother doing it himself?

So Shi An called over Fa Gui, who then called over Yang Linna and the others from the hall.

The boss gave the order, and the group came over immediately, very eagerly.

After all, they felt the salary and benefits were too generous, and there was very little actual work to do on a daily basis, so they weren't comfortable receiving this salary. Wu Qing and Wu Yue, the two newbies, were the most uneasy.

This was the first time the three new employees had visited the alchemy workshop.

Compared to other areas of the safe zone, this workshop was rudimentary and gloomy; its appearance alone made it look far inferior.

But everyone remembered that the main theme of the nightmare world is cold and desolate. Although the workshop looks a bit dilapidated at first glance, the environment is still superior compared to the real nightmare world.

Yang Linna and her two companions came here to familiarize themselves with the area.

This area is not open to the public, but as employees, they sometimes need to come here to pick up goods.

Just like now.

Shi An said, "This is new equipment in our safe zone, called a Spell Power Testing Device. It can detect a person's level of spell power control. These three units—well, two will be moved to Training Room One and Training Room Two, and one will be moved to the garden outside."

Shi An plans to find an open space in the garden outside to place the equipment, and then designate an area as a testing area.

He doesn't plan to charge for this spell power testing device; he'll just leave it here as a benefit for everyone to use.

Fa Gui squatted down and, with a little effort, lifted the device, which was as big as a double-door refrigerator.

He is very strong.

Of course, there are no delicate girls in the Dreamers' circle, and Yang Linna easily lifted a refrigerator.

Even though those who have fallen into the dream realm are still mortals, their physical abilities are still far superior to those of ordinary people once they reach a higher level.

Experts like Fa Gui and Yang Linna had also taken the precious medicine, which gave them extra strength.

But Wu Qing and Wu Yue were not so good. These two girls were no different from ordinary people in essence, and they were so anxious that they almost cried.

Shi An: "Let's leave this one here for now."

Soon, the two pieces of equipment were moved out.

One machine was placed in the open space outside, and the other was placed in the corner of Training Room No. 1—I was preparing to quietly test my progress in training.

Several employees were also curious about the new equipment and would occasionally glance at it discreetly.

Shi An said, "Let's try them all."

He also wanted to see how other people would evaluate the device.

After saying that, Shi An turned on the testing device and looked at Fa Gui and the others.

"Wu Qing, you two go first."

They were the worst of the bunch, not only because they were newbies on loan, but also because their spells were all incomplete.

However, as long as resources are sufficient, even a damaged cursed item can be restored to a complete one.

However, once it reaches the Complete level, it cannot be promoted to the Rare level.

Little K's strange candles had already been upgraded to the complete level. After all, he had the backing of the Countermeasures Bureau.

Therefore, most Dream Fallers who are doing well have complete personal cursed items, while a few have incomplete ones.

The latter entered the fusion period in a state of confusion, thus missing the opportunity to complete the cursed artifact.

Wu Qing's cursed object is a transverse flute, while Wu Yue's cursed object is a xiao (vertical bamboo flute).

The former's ability is auxiliary, capable of emitting disruptive sound waves; the latter, however, is offensive, capable of directly unleashing invisible needle-like energy, although its current destructive power is such that it cannot even break through the skin when it hits a person.

The sound of the flute traveled through the target.

Wu Qing clearly had studied the flute; he wasn't just playing it randomly.

However, [Curse Power Output Value: 0.3]

[Curse Power Output Efficiency: 33%]

"Evaluation: Zero level in curse power, noob! ————"

Wu Yue's test results were similar.

The two weren't too disappointed by the evaluation from the testing device, but they were a little embarrassed, their faces turning red.

They know they're novices; they're just more acutely aware of that fact now.

Shi An looked at the test results, lost in thought.

He himself is indeed quite skilled.

His spell power output efficiency is 53%, almost twice that of Wu Qing and Wu Yue! He's proud!

Shi An felt that he was quite suitable to be compared to these two girls.

The two are newbies to the Dream Faller class, having experienced three formal nightmares.

What about him? He's an even newbie, he's never even had a proper nightmare.

So it's not that he's bad; he's just starting out.

"The efficiency of spell power output is the core of the evaluation; high efficiency means strong control. The spell power output value in the upper row roughly represents the upper limit of the spell object's power."

He guessed:

If a cursed artifact contains one unit of cursed power, the Dreamer's full output will be approximately "1". However, a flawed cursed artifact only contains a fraction of a unit of cursed power.

What about rare-grade, or even higher-grade excellent-grade?

Shi An had a slight urge to test the waters, but she restrained herself.

With so many people here, what if we find out someone has zero level of curse power?

Yang Linna was the next to try.

She activated her natal incantation, which condensed in front of her a phantom identical to herself, but constructed from light and shadow energy.

This is Training Room Number One, shrouded in a mysterious power.

As soon as the cursed item was activated, Yang Linna clearly felt that the side effects it caused her were greatly reduced.

The process of activating the cursed object was even more divinely aided; she seemed to have vaguely grasped a little bit of the direction for creating her own unique curse.

"Is this the wonder of the training ground? No wonder so many Dream Fallers have been longing for it."

She had long lost her drive and had no desire to risk conquering the nightmare.

But it's not that she doesn't want to become stronger.

She still thinks about it.

She just didn't want to take any more risks.

This training ground is an invaluable place where you can become stronger without taking risks.

"boom!"

The humanoid phantom unleashed a punch, sending ripples spreading outwards.

[Curse power output: 1.4]

"Curse power output efficiency: 81%"

"Evaluation: Level 4 in Cursed Power, Proficient level in controlling cursed power. The process of activating cursed objects is relatively slow. Suggested areas for improvement are: ————"

This time, the testing instrument not only refrained from being sarcastic, but even offered some guidance.

So this is how you turn on the spell power tester!

Outside the mission hall, a number of Dreamers were also gathered in the open space of the garden.

Their discussion focused on this peculiar device.

However, while the dreamers surrounded the area, filled with curiosity, none of them actually made a move. This was a nightmare world, not a shopping mall outside; very few of the dreamers who had survived countless nightmares were clumsy or impulsive.

of.

They will absolutely not touch it without the store manager or staff indicating that it is safe to use.

Even when there are many people in the safe zone, if there are one or two people who don't know any better, they will be stopped by others before they touch anything recklessly.

Maintaining order in the safe zone is everyone's responsibility!

If the store manager sees it, praises it, hires it, or rewards it, that would be even better!

Soon, employee Wu Yue came over. She explained how to use the instrument and its function, and said that it was a benefit given to everyone by the store manager and that everyone could use it for free.

But she added, "You have to queue up according to the rules to use the equipment. Also, the items used to activate the spells are limited to this designated area. You can't go outside. If you damage the flowers, plants, floor tiles, or anything else outside, then—"

She looked around.

Surrounded by numerous formidable and menacing Dream Fallen experts, she still defiantly declared, "Then you'll have to pay compensation!"

"Don't worry, little sister, we understand."

"Everyone knows the rules of the safe zone. If anyone dares to break them, I, Old Zhu, will be the first to object!"

This isn't just because of the girl.

In the nightmare world, beauty is worthless; it's better to try and get a few more minutes in the training room.

Everyone follows the rules because they understand how rare it is to reach the safe zone; any normal person would cherish this hard-won opportunity.

A dozen or so people who had fallen into the dream quickly lined up.

A young man stepped forward and activated his cursed object according to the operating instructions.

He cleaved the target, where light and shadow intertwined, with his sword.

"Beep~!"

"Curse power, level one, rated as a noob. Cursed items are a complete waste in your hands."

The young man blushed.

"I...I made a mistake! I'll try again, and I definitely won't get such a low score!"

But the people queuing behind them were already watching them intently.

The young man chuckled awkwardly, but of course he didn't dare to break the rules. He obediently walked to the very end of the queue and lined up again.

Soon, the second, third, and fourth place winners—one after another—took the test.

Most people are described as noobs, noobs, or even worse than noobs.

The young man's expression softened.

"So it wasn't me who was bad, but everyone was bad? Oh well, never mind."

"You guys say the standards for this spell power testing device are a bit too high, but I don't think so. Think about it, this equipment was built by the shop manager, so the standards were naturally set by the shop manager, and with the shop manager's abilities—"

The others suddenly realized.

Indeed, in the store manager's eyes, they were worse than dogs.

It's not that the testing equipment's scoring is too harsh; it's just that they're really bad at it.

We still need to work harder.

The No. 1 training room was deserted.

Shi An looked at his own rating of "Level 1 Curse Power" and his face darkened.

This testing device is my nemesis!

"It's probably still the cursed object's fault."

"Steel bars and bones are too weak cursed objects, so I rarely use them. The Invisible Corridor and the Mask of Night are too powerful, so it's normal that I can't control them."

Shi An looked in front of him.

The evaluation box is still in mid-air, displaying: "Curse Power Output Value: 51!"

This is the power of Nightshade Mask.

His power was so great that it was understandable that he had less control over his magical abilities.
