After I quit the team, they chased me

"Is this a dream?"

The three of them were shocked. If Simon hadn't said it, they really wouldn't have realized that it was a dream.

Once it is mentioned that this is a dream, everything in the scene becomes suspicious, as if something is wrong here and something is wrong there.

The grassland that was originally swaying in the wind now showed signs of repeated swaying.

And those trees, although not all the same, at least many of them are similar and not realistic enough.

Once these details are investigated, they are all loopholes.

However, considering that this is the initial stage, such a rudimentary dream is still acceptable.

After thirty seconds, everyone returned to reality smoothly without any mental damage. They just felt that they had been on an unreal trip to a foreign land, which was too short.

"It doesn't seem to be of any use. Can this really cause mental damage?"

The little shark used his dry brain to imagine, but he really couldn't imagine a scene that was so horrible that it would cause mental damage.

Even if it was a simulated death, it would only take a moment...

"Little Shark, stop talking nonsense. How come Simon's skill is useless? Even though we knew it was a dream, we couldn't leave the dream freely. It controlled us for a full thirty seconds.

"These thirty seconds are enough for us to do a lot of things in reality. We can even use them to delay until the skills that have been on cooldown are restored."

Roy said excitedly. She had been in the White Fruit before and knew how important it was to have a good assistant in team battles.

Bai Tang also nodded, agreeing with Roy's opinion.

After a while, Simon's cooling time was over, and he continued to lead everyone to test the potential of this new skill.

For example, Simon tried to pluck the time string in the dream space to speed up the flow of time, thereby achieving the effect of different flow rates of time inside and outside.

The result was that when he plucked the time string, the "string" was very taut, and it was difficult for the hand of mind to shake the time string.

Soon he realized that there were three more external factors in the dream space, which increased the variables and caused the simulation load of the dream space to increase greatly, making it impossible to accelerate time indefinitely.

The final result was that everyone stayed in reality for thirty seconds and stayed in the dream for a whole day. The effect was pretty good.

And after plucking the time string this time, Simon's consciousness returned to reality and he felt dizzy again.

Considering that he had felt dizzy before when simulating the universe, Simon decided to take a break.

After the three of them came out of the dream, they still retained the same practice postures.

They had just spent a day in a dream and had also spent a whole day brushing up their skill proficiency.

Now I called out the system panel to check and immediately found that the proficiency value in my skill column had indeed increased.

"real or fake?"

“Does practicing in dreams also work?”

Both Little Shark and Roy were stunned.

Bai Tang, who had never seen the world, was also silently shocked, watching the proficiency of his first skill, Holy Light Prayer, increase from .

As for skill proficiency, it does not mean that you will gain a point of proficiency every time you use a skill.

The number of times used is only one of the reference factors for proficiency.

The degree of understanding of the skill, the speed of casting, and the depth of practice will all be converted into skill proficiency.

By the way, LV2 refers to the upper limit level of the two sea of ​​consciousness stars.

If the adventurer has three stars in his sea of ​​consciousness, then the ceiling of the first and second skills is LV3. At most, they can be trained to 3% proficiency of LV99, which is infinitely close to LV4, but will not break through the limit and enter the fourth stage.

Once it is established that everyone can practice skills in Simon's dream space, Simon's third skill will have extraordinary strategic significance.

Everyone can also grow much faster than normal people.

But Simon thinks further ahead.

The third skill is so practical that you can try to replicate the terrain of some difficult maps one-to-one, and then take everyone into a dream for a pre-battle rehearsal.

Although Simon cannot completely reproduce the monster's behavioral logic, at least he can make everyone mentally prepared for the battle.

"It's a pity that there is no scout in my team. It would be great if Xiao Qian was here too." Simon suddenly began to miss the days when Xiao Qian was with him.

When it comes to terrain reconnaissance, he has never seen anyone better than Xiao Qian.

Chapter 47 How to Lead a Vampire Princess astray

Simon rested until the afternoon, then activated his skills again, plucked the time string of the dream realm, and accelerated everyone's skill training.

Even Simon himself can practice his first and second skills in it, but his third skill cannot be practiced madly because the skill itself is already in an activated state, and he can only slowly increase his proficiency by practicing it more often.

In two tests in the morning and afternoon, Simon basically grasped the implicit usage conditions of the third skill.

Without pulling the time string, this skill can indeed achieve the 90-second cooling time marked by the system.

Once he enters a dream and pulls the time string, and there is someone in the dream, the cooling time will not be 90 seconds, but extended to four hours.

If there are no external variables in the dream, the time string can be plucked at will.

This results in two ways of using the third skill.

One is to use it directly against the enemy and use it normally.

The second is to make full use of its training purpose and give his players a closed training session.

Since it is a battle in a dream, even if a person's head falls off, it will not affect the body in reality. At most, the mental damage will be calculated after death.

However, he didn't know how much mental damage dying in a dream would cause.

It is also impossible to test the mental state of teammates, this is inhumane.

The wild monsters in the dungeon can be used as experimental materials and tested next time you go to the dungeon.

After testing his dreams, Simon began to customize career advancement directions for his teammates.

Before customization, Simon plans to review their professional skills and past experiences.

Simon believes that an adventurer's skills must be compatible with his or her personality.

If there is no compatibility, forced guidance is useless, so it is necessary to understand their experience.

"Roy, Little Shark, come here, sit opposite me, and let's chat."

Simon sat down in the study and asked the two to sit opposite him.

Sister Bai Tang does not need Simon's guidance. She has embarked on her own unique path of promotion - the path of a traitor to the church. Even Simon does not know whether she can succeed on this path.

So she sat in a side seat and was a quiet listener.

Roy and Little Shark sat down, not knowing what to say, so Simon directly called on Roy and started with her.

Although Simon knew that she was a vampire and had gone on adventures with Roy, he didn't know what happened before the adventure.

Roy took a deep breath and said, "My family is called Louise. We have been vampires for generations. We do not believe in the statue of the Virgin Mary, but believe in my ancestor Lilith..."

Having said that, Roy glanced at Bai Tang, and seeing that Bai Tang didn't react, he continued speaking.

Vampire is a racial profession of the vampire race, a profession that is deeply rooted in the bloodline.

For a profession like this that comes naturally from bloodline, there's no need to pray to the statue.

In the past, blood people were called vampires.

However, no one mentions this ancient name anymore, and now everyone calls them vampires.

Vampire is the profession of female vampires, while the profession of male vampires is blood sucker. The nature of the professions is the same, so it will be omitted here.

It was learned that Roy passed the family's secret training when he was young and successfully condensed the first star of the sea of ​​consciousness. His career panel showed him as a vampire princess.

Roy is the only professional in the team who has a way out.

Her subsequent path to advancement is not cut off. If she cannot be promoted through self-realization, she can return to her family and inherit the legacy of her ancestors.

The prerequisite for inheritance is to fully master the first two skills, and then return to the family to perform the mysterious ancestral rituals - place pigs, cattle, sheep, ducks and chickens, sacrifice to the vampire ancestors, and drink the ancestral secret source blood.

During the prayer process, there is a 50% chance of being promoted to a formal rank.

According to their family, if they fail to get promoted, there will be no possibility of getting promoted again in this lifetime.

At least in their family history, no vampire could be promoted after failure.

Simon knew that the occupations of vampires were relatively fixed.

But he didn't expect that a fixed career that has been passed down from generation to generation could be operated through this means.

Worship your ancestors, perform ancient sacrifices, and drink the secret ancestral blood.

After hearing these words, it was like seeing a scroll of ancient history unfolding before my eyes.

"The promotion of the vampires uses blood-like liquids, as well as the common prayer-based promotion..." Simon murmured.

How should I put it? It's like a strange feeling of déjà vu.

Bai Tang felt even more deeply and said, “I am doing the promotion ceremony in the church, which requires me to bathe, change clothes, drink holy water, and pray with all my heart.

"But even if I fail, I can continue to pray. After all, there is always enough holy water. I have never seen the church lack holy water..."

Yes, that's the similarity.

"Is holy water a necessary condition?" Simon asked.

Bai Tang had never thought about this question and was subconsciously stunned.

"That means everyone who goes to pray will drink it." Simon nodded when she didn't respond.

“So does the church have any rigid requirements for skill familiarity?” he continued to ask.

"There is no hard and fast requirement. Some people whose skills are worse than mine were still promoted to full-time positions." Bai Tang shook his head again.

Speaking of this, Bai Tang looked dazed.

In the past, she would feel unwilling and aggrieved about her situation.

Why were others able to be promoted while her prayers to the Virgin Mary went unanswered?

What's the difference between her and those people?

Her mentality is completely different now.

As long as you pray to the light in your heart, you can shake the stars.

As long as your faith remains firm, one day the third star will shine above the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Hmm..." Simon continued to think, and an inspiration already came to his mind.

The vampire girl Roy had no inspiration and waited anxiously for Simon to summarize his experience.

"The alchemical reagent I took can theoretically be called a special 'liquid'.

"The holy water of the church and the secret blood of the vampires are also special 'liquids'.

"In the normal way of promotion, the general conditions are prayer and special 'fluid'."

Simon thought of the scene in which he pushed open a screaming door in the dark world after drinking the Lucid Dream Link Potion.

That door can be called the door of lucidity. It is precisely because of crossing the door of lucidity that Simon's body has undergone a qualitative change. This is the correct way to open the dream maker profession.

“But when I got promoted, I didn’t pray to anyone.

“Combined with some cases of people who learned without a teacher and achieved advancement on their own, it can be proved that prayer is an unimportant process.

"Some people are effective, while others are not. This is very strange. Do gods really exist...

"From my own experience, the so-called mysterious 'liquid' only serves as a primer, guiding you to open the door to self-awakening. In fact, I already have the professional qualifications. It doesn't matter whether there is a god or not. What I lack is the primer."

After Simon summarized himself, his thoughts became clearer and he grasped the principles of conventional promotion.

If he were to advance in the conventional way, Roy's future skills would be fixed, and the new skills he would awaken would only be higher-level skills of the vampire princess, and would not lead to the direction Simon imagined.

Therefore, she must take the route of self-realization and lead the third star to another path.

The first step is that you cannot go back to worship your ancestor Lilith, nor can you drink the secret ancestral blood.

Chapter 48: The Gap

The promotion direction Simon prepared for Roy was the path of a nurse with a total damage skill of 100,000, that is, causing a total of more than 100,000 magic damage within 20 seconds, with a cooling recovery time of about one minute.

Simon has proven on himself that the dream maker skills from the previous life game can be realized in the other world.
