Eternal Night

Chapter 12 Reality Issues
This is a very realistic problem, that is, if people are killed, they will die, and if people don’t eat, they will starve to death.

The 6123 division of Gaia Z region was almost completely blocked. Since waking up, Wu Xianxiao had been facing this hibernation capsule and a maintenance base station. Apart from various instruments and equipment, there were only various garbage won by the predecessors in the lottery. Eating became the main survival problem for these maintenance personnel.

In fact, to put it bluntly, they don't have a good impression of this unified human government.

Although it was the Unified Human Government that revived them from the frozen state, the Unified Human Government wanted them to work like slaves to pay off their debts. Although they are called maintenance personnel, except for the 200 people in the awakening shift, and even those after 250 will have the opportunity to reach the new home and become citizens, the rest of them will spend the rest of their lives on this cold spaceship.

As for the maintenance personnel whose shifts are after 200 and 250, most of them are actually relatives of the people or have been bribed.

You know, the unified government of mankind seems to be a democratic government of the future, but in fact, in Wu Xianxiao's view, it is a feudal aristocratic utopian government with a strict hierarchy.

The so-called citizens are also divided into levels, such as first-level citizens, second-level citizens, third-level citizens and so on. What each level can enjoy, what rights they have, and how long they can live are all different.

So how could the maintenance staff risk their lives to maintain such a government entity? Moreover, the maintenance contract was similar to that of a loan shark.

As long as there is a chance, these maintenance personnel can completely choose not to enter the dream world. They are just waiting to die anyway. So why do they have to risk being unable to live or die and go into the dream world to rescue such a government and those people who are called citizens but are actually aristocrats?
But again, this is actually a very realistic problem. The maintenance personnel must eat, and there is no food in the enclosed small space except fresh water, so they have to enter the dream world to survive, even if it is just to eat.

Once you enter the dream world, although you can return to Gaia after five days, there is a certain possibility of encountering nightmares during these five days. Even if the nightmares are dull, you will die without a burial place if you encounter other strange things in the dream world.

By setting up a shelter, not only can maintenance personnel be awakened according to the level of the shelter, but there are also rewards from the main brain. The first random draw for the shelter can often draw the power system of the dream world, which gives you the power to protect yourself.

However, after setting up the shelter, a first-level shelter must be entered ten days out of thirty days, and a second-level shelter must be entered seven days out of thirty days. During this time, you may encounter nightmares. At the same time, if you are determined not to enter the dream world and let the shelter be abandoned, there is a high possibility that a second-level nightmare will be attracted, and then penetrate from the dream world into reality to kill everyone.

For example, the pink snake that was the culprit that caused the destruction of 6120 to 6122, according to some records and descriptions of the predecessors, was a second-level nightmare that penetrated from the dream world shelter!
"So I have no choice. If I want to eat and stay alive, I must go to the dream world. And to enter the dream world, you also need strength, so you must build a shelter. And with the shelter, you need to enter the dream world to block the nightmare from penetrating. One thing leads to another. Even if we don't want to work for the unified human government, we have no choice." Wu Xianxiao said in a low voice.

Yamade and Xu Shilan were both silent.

The two men were certainly not rookies or fools. One was a veteran who had fought in three world wars, and the other was a swindler and arms dealer. They immediately understood what Wu Xianxiao meant.

They have no idea what to do and no choice.

Either you starve to death here, or you enter the dream world to struggle for survival and look for a glimmer of hope.

Next, Wu Xianxiao introduced the situation of the dream world to the two of them.

There are two ways to enter the dream world from the main brain, and one is to penetrate downwards.

For example, if you have a shelter in the baseline reality of 0.9, then you can use this dream world as an anchor point to penetrate downwards into the dream world of the baseline reality of 0.8. Similarly, if reality penetrates downwards, you will go to the dream world of the baseline reality of 0.9.

The second method is random penetration.

This kind of penetration is really random. You may go to a world that is 0.9 of the baseline reality, or you may go to a world that is 0.1 of the baseline reality. It all depends on random luck.

"Before I woke you up, two seniors and I encountered a Level 2 nightmare. Both of them died, and I got a Level 2 shelter in the baseline reality Zero Point Seven Dream World by chance. You see how strong I am now, in fact, most of it comes from this Level 2 shelter."

Wu Xianxiao did not hide anything from the two. Although he was a little wary of Xu Shilan, the three of them were actually all on the same boat. In such a nightmare world, not cooperating sincerely would be seeking death, so he revealed his attribute interface to the two.

"Wu Xianxiao."

"Level 1 maintenance personnel."

"Physical body, level 2; soul, level 1; inspiration, level 2."

"National Martial Arts: Dark Power, Tiger Magic Kung Fu: Superb."

It was also the first time that Wu Xianxiao looked at his attribute interface after the enhancement was completed.

The gains were greater than he had expected. Originally, his physical body was at the first level, and his inspiration was also at the first level, but now both have become the second level. This means that he can now run as fast as Bolt. Even without transporting qi and blood, his boxing power will not be inferior to Tyson, and his physical endurance is at the triathlon standard. This will greatly increase his ability to survive in the dream world.

The two newcomers looked at the attribute interface, and then they each called out their own attribute interface and showed it to Wu Xianxiao.

"Level 1 maintenance personnel."

"The physical body is at the second level, the soul is at the first level, and the inspiration is at the first level."

Yamadei is worthy of being a veteran of World War III. It is estimated that he has undergone a certain degree of genetic adjustment. His physical body is also of the second level. This surprised Wu Xianxiao a little. However, after carefully recalling the scene when Yamadei carried the tank barrel before, his physical body is indeed of the second level, but it is estimated that it is just at the edge of the second level.

As for the other one, it surprised Wu Xianxiao even more.

"Xu Shilan."

"Level 1 maintenance personnel."

"The body is at the first level, the soul is at the second level, and the inspiration is at the first level."

Soul Level 2! ?
This was the first time Wu Xianxiao had seen someone whose soul was not of the first level!
He had also seen the attribute interfaces of the previous seniors. Some had second-level physical bodies, some had various skills or magic, and some had second-level inspiration, but there had never been anyone with a soul above the first level!
Although he didn't know what the second level soul meant, Wu Xianxiao always felt that it was very powerful!
Yamadea and Xu Shilan were closely staring at the differences between Wu Xianxiao and them...his skills and realm!

With the same second-level physical body, Wu Xianxiao could even easily kill the previous deformed monster, while Yamade would be easily swallowed by the deformed monster.

The difference in combat power between the two is at least ten times!
Yamade hesitated for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, Xu Shilan took the lead and said, "Brother Wu, can you teach us your martial arts?"

When the three words "Brother Wu" came out of Xu Shilan's mouth, there was actually nothing pretentious about it, but Wu Xianxiao and Yamade both shuddered slightly.

Wu Xianxiao nodded and said, "Of course you can, but first of all, this technique was drawn by lottery when I set up a first-level shelter. According to what the predecessors said, when you first set up a shelter in the dream world, you will generally get the power system technique of that world in the random lottery. The main brain may have cheated, and this technique will be very suitable for you. This national martial arts suits me, but it may not be suitable for you. And there is one more thing I want to make clear in advance."

"This martial art is actually extremely dangerous to practice. All the information I know about this martial art comes from the main brain, which directly transmits it to my brain, and forces me to remember it directly. I can't forget it even if I want to, but language and information are different. I can tell you, and I can also tell you my practice experience, but your understanding may not be the original method in my head. When practicing, a slight difference may lead to a huge difference. At that time, the blood and qi will be reversed, and sudden death is a possibility. It's not that I'm stingy or anything."

Yamadea and Xu Shilan looked at each other, but did not mention the martial arts techniques again.

Next, Wu Xianxiao told the two of them a lot about the dream world, the shelter, and everything he knew about the various areas of Gaia.

"The dream world originates from the dream network built by the unified human government. The worlds inside are endless. As I said just now, the lower the baseline reality, the more it deviates from reality. I have only been to baseline reality 0.7 at most. I don't know what it is like below that."

"Rewards for each level of the shelter..."

"…The above three are ways to set up a shelter. The first is to buy it. The shelter is in the building you bought. It is the easiest shelter to set up, but it is also the most restrictive and dangerous one because your shelter cannot be moved. Once the nightmare finds it, you can either flee back to reality and pray that the nightmare is not level 2 and cannot follow you to reality, or fight the nightmare to the death."

"The shelter of your power. The headquarters of your power is the location of the shelter, but it can be moved. As long as most of the people in your power move away, the shelter can go to another place and avoid nightmares. However, with too many people, people's hearts are mixed. Once the power is lost, your shelter will collapse. At the same time, with too many people, it is easy to be parasitized by nightmares."

"The best is the Historical Record Shelter. Fame, a name that goes down in history. Where you are is the shelter, so you can wander around in that dream world at will, avoiding nightmares, and you can return anytime and anywhere. However, if you encounter a Level 2 nightmare face to face, if you return, the Level 2 nightmare can still come to the real world."

"...All the districts have fallen silent. According to the seniors, the maintenance personnel had a period of prosperity before. Many large districts had second- and third-level shelters. Some districts even had dozens of maintenance personnel, and they worked together to open several blocked passages and found good places like canteens, medical stations, and various shopping centers. But gradually, the personnel in these districts disappeared. For example, the pink snake I mentioned was recorded by a senior who knows how many shifts ago."

Wu Xianxiao spoke intermittently for at least two hours, his mouth dry. He went to pour a glass of fresh water and gulped it down. Then he said, "I have basically said everything I need to say. These are the situations in this world and the dream world that I know. There are some things I don't remember. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Then you just get ready..."

Yamade and Xu Shilan both nodded, and Xu Shilan asked in a tender voice, "Brother Wu, are you going to take us into the dream world?"

Wu Xianxiao shook his head and said, "No, you guys prepare it yourself. There are a lot of things here, and I don't know if there is anything useful. If you want to take it, take it. If not, take a rest, be mentally prepared, and store up your energy. I'm going to take a nap and recover my energy."

"Gather at the hibernation chamber in twelve hours, and then..."

"Let's go, into the dream world, and have breakfast!"
