The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Currently, Moran only possesses two magical items: an invisible ring-shaped magic wand on his finger and a spatial ring.

Then there's the inner pocket of the backpack on the back, which has been expanded to accommodate Squeaky. Moran placed Squeaky there.

When someone from the Dream World goes to the Dream World, their body will remain in the same place. At that time, Zhizhi will be her bodyguard when she goes to the Dream World.

The rest of the vests, skirts, shoes, and socks were not only ordinary in appearance but also in ability, without any alchemical runes drawn on them.

Moran has been using the {Food Supplement Strengthening Card} for many years. Although his physical strength is not as great as Vasida's, and he can fight against dragon geniuses in hand-to-hand combat, he can easily crush ordinary high-level magical beasts.

Humans in the real world of Dreamweaver, without the ability to materialize from the virtual world, have physical strength similar to that of humans on Earth. Even without defensive magical items, Moran is not worried about suffering any irreparable damage the moment he arrives in Dreamweaver.

After reviewing the information about the Dream World in his mind, Moran went to the Sky Well and accepted the Dream World's quest invitation.

The dream world in the starry sky projection rapidly expanded, and Moran knew that it was the dream world making contact with her coordinates in the Well of the Sky.

When the Dream World was within reach in the well, seemingly within arm's reach, Moran leaped down from the well's opening.

At first, she could still see countless stars passing by her, but soon, just like when her soul was wandering in the universe, she lost consciousness.

When Moran regained consciousness, she found herself in dim light, with a hard sensation on the back of her head, and the ground beneath her was damp and cold. Her nostrils were filled with a faint, putrid stench.

As she awoke, the semi-transparent protective shield that had enveloped her with world consciousness disappeared, and the stench instantly intensified several times over.

The toxic fumes, which resembled a mixture of rotten food, excrement, and mold, made her hold her breath immediately, and a sour feeling rose deep in her throat.

Moran quickly got up, covered her nose, and began to observe her surroundings.

This must be an alleyway, and it's evening.

The alley was pitch black, with the only source of light being a streetlamp a few dozen meters away at the alley entrance.

The streetlights were old and in disrepair, their light dim and yellowish, only illuminating the area under the lampposts and a few bricks.

The lampshade was covered with a thick layer of dust, the filament hissed intermittently, and the flickering light cast swaying shadows on the damp wall.

Moran was able to find the source of the stench in the alley—a row of garbage cans piled high with trash and a dead rat in the corner—thanks to the blood magic Dark Vision that Lilith extracted from the vampires' blood.

The maggots wriggling next to the trash can and the black beetles crawling all over the shriveled corpses of rats were clearly visible.

Although the place was disgusting, the best part was that the field of vision was narrow and there were no humans visible to the naked eye. Moran breathed a sigh of relief, cast an invisibility spell on himself, and then quickly walked out of the alley.

Humans in the Dream World do not dream before the age of fifteen. On the night of their fifteenth birthday, after falling asleep, their spirits enter the dream world for adventures. From then on, the daytime belongs to the real world, and the nighttime belongs to the dream world.

The entrance to the dream world only opens after nightfall, so the nights in the real world here are always exceptionally quiet and safe.

Moran arrived in the Dream World at this time, which was a good opportunity to take cover and quietly observe the surrounding environment.

The streets were deserted. Looking at the surrounding skyscrapers, Moran felt as if she had returned to Earth before the apocalypse. However, both the roads and the buildings were very old.

Moran also saw a jumble of messy, exposed electrical wires hanging directly outside the house.

The information states that in the real world of Dream World, there is a mineral called "tourmaline".

Humans in the Dream World extracted electrical energy from tourmaline and used it to invent various electrical devices.

Electric lights for illumination, power grids for communication, electric vehicles for transportation... and electric robots that replace humans in performing basic productive labor.

The people of the Dream World are far more adept at developing and utilizing electricity than humans on Earth.

Moran hadn't yet seen private electric trams that fly in the sky, or robots that could replace humans in farming, production, and even housework, when the apocalypse arrived on Earth.

However, since the dream world in the virtual dimension of the Dream World has fully developed and established a connection with the real world, allowing humans to enter the dream world while sleeping and bring some of their gains from the dream world into reality, the humans in the Dream World have focused more on developing the dream world.

Since that time, electrical technology has not made any major progress.

The world consciousness is clearly pleased with this, otherwise it wouldn't have only issued missions to hunt down dream-eating beasts to prevent the power of the dream world from being weakened, but never issued missions to seek external assistance to save the electrical technology of the real world.

The old roads and high-rise buildings we see today are probably products of the booming development of electric power technology, and we can see many traces of repairs.

The mottled concrete surfaces were covered with fine cracks, and the metal frames were covered with dark red rust from years of wind and rain.

Some of the repair marks still showed faint fluctuations of magical energy, which Moran guessed were from magical materials from the dream world.

The shimmering repair materials, so different from the original reinforced concrete, unexpectedly maintained the building's stability.

Perhaps because this world has flying cars, the streets between dense skyscrapers are not very popular.

The roads between the buildings were dilapidated, with weeds growing on the cracked asphalt and occasionally deep tire tracks.

The shops on both sides were also quite desolate, with thick dust covering the shop windows, and the spider webs on the billboards indicated that business was not very good.

The faded signs swayed gently in the breeze, making creaking sounds.

Moran felt something was wrong as he looked at it more and more, so he took out his flying broom, skillfully mounted it, activated his invisibility shield, and flew into the sky.

As you go higher, you realize that the floors closest to the ground are mostly empty, without any signs of life. However, you can occasionally see lights shining from the upper floors, indicating that people live there.

Moran flew all the way to the rooftop before stopping to look down at the city from the air.

In the Dream World, there is no moon. The night clouds emit a pale pink glow. To the south of the towering, dilapidated high-rises, there is a newer, more beautiful, and larger neighborhood.

The buildings there were no more than three stories high, the roads were wide, the streetlights were bright, and the greenery was plentiful—completely different from the old high-rises beneath her feet. (End of Chapter)
