Eternal Night

Chapter 698 The Contract System

"Mr. Wu, it's so good to see that you are safe and sound."

Youmu bowed respectfully and said.

Wu Pifu had a headache.

Youmu was also an acquaintance of his, having met him in the world of Buddha's Dream. After that, Youmu often went on missions, and Wu Pifu was also a restless person, so the two rarely met.

Youmu is not a wild Night Watchman, but a member of the special operations force of the unified human government, belonging to the military system, and Youmu and her team members are the elite of the elite.

The superhumans currently existing in human civilization are all Night Watchers, but there are two types: wild and public. Wild Night Watchers are more numerous, while public Night Watchers are mostly composed of military personnel, accounting for less than one-tenth of the total, but they are mostly elites. Moreover, their missions in the Dream World are mostly rescue and support missions, or to find out the whereabouts and schemes of the remnants of the Human Revolutionary Alliance and the Corporation.

Compared to unofficial Night Watchmen, government-employed Night Watchmen are busier, but their benefits and compensation are naturally better.

Youmu had missed her return to the Land of Redemption several times before finally meeting him this time.

Wu Pifu said, "Speak properly, don't keep bowing. We've known each other for a long time. If you continue like this, I'll turn around and leave."

Youmeng then straightened up and said with a smile, "Propriety must not be disregarded. This is not only a matter of duty, but also a sign of respect for Mr. Wu."

Helpless, Wu Pifu could only wave his hand and say, "It really has been a long time since I've seen you. How have you been lately?"

Youmeng sat down on the chair next to Wu Pifu and said, "Everything is fine. With the President overseeing the Land of Redemption, nightmares are rare in the Dream World from 0.9 to 0.7. The Human Revolutionary Alliance is under the command of Mr. Liang Min, and most of the remnants of the company have also disappeared. Our tasks are not heavy; they are mostly to rescue the Night Watchers who are trapped in the Dream World."

Wu Pifu still knows this.

Humanity's situation has improved significantly. With the Land of Redemption, the Three Pillars of Humanity, and the mainframe having been upgraded with a points system, Night Watchers no longer face certain death when venturing into the Dream World. They have logistical bases to plan and recuperate, and if they encounter great danger in the Dream World, they can send out distress signals through the mainframe. By paying points, they can receive assistance from the government-affiliated Night Watchers and then return to the Land of Redemption.

This is truly a great act of benevolence, instantly reducing the casualty rate of the Night Watchmen by more than 70-80%. By now, the system designed by Chu Minghao for human civilization to deal with the dream world has been successfully constructed. Ordinary people can recuperate peacefully, while extraordinary individuals explore the dream world. Talents are gradually accumulating, and extraordinary individuals are gradually becoming stronger. With him, Liang Min, and Wu Pifu as the three core combat forces to suppress everything, human civilization will only become stronger and stronger.

Youmeng suddenly said, "I've come to see Mr. Wu this time for two reasons: first, it's been a long time since we last met, and second, I have some important information I want to tell you."

Wu Pifu was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously, "Important information? Is it important information about me?"

Otherwise, wouldn't important information definitely be told to Chu Minghao?
Youmu nodded naturally: "Yes, I've always heard that Mr. Wu is looking for a supernatural system that can improve the strength of these little animals, is that right?"

Wu Pifu immediately became interested: "Yes, I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't found it yet. Do you have any clues?"

Youmu smiled and said, "By chance, while rescuing a stranded team in the Zero Seven Dream World, I obtained this item in an ancient country called Egypt. This is it."

Yao Meng took out a tattered, blackened, charred parchment scroll from her bosom. It was only the size of a palm, and she handed it to Wu Pifu as she spoke.

Wu Pifu took it and glanced at it. Naturally, he couldn't understand the words on it, so he said, "Master, determine this item."

"The first chapter of the contract (Completely broken, all supernatural powers lost)."

"...In this way, everything in the world can acquire spirit, can become martial arts, and can become a part of this game..."

"The extraordinary path of the game begins with a contract and ends with a contract. It can contract with all things and infuse them with spiritual energy. The stronger the spiritual energy of the individual or the capacity of the spiritual energy, the more powerful the summoned creature will be when it is transformed into a fully information-based creature. In battle, although the summoned creature dies, its spiritual energy can be preserved in the essence of the contract master (summoner) and gradually recover over time. Only the death of the contract master will cause the summoned creature to die completely."

Wu Pifu looked at the parchment scroll and was immediately overjoyed.

Judging from this description, this extraordinary system is really perfect for him, it's almost as if it was tailor-made for him.

The small animals around him, including the golden tree bonsai, have actually become a burden by now, not in the sense of being a companion, but in terms of strength.

His full-force attack is now capable of destroying stars, and even the slightest aftershock of a battle at this level is enough to kill these small animals. Although he has the extradimensional ring created with the help of the chairman of the First Company, it is ultimately only a temporary solution.

The fundamental solution is simple: either enable a few small animals to rapidly grow stronger, strong enough to withstand the aftermath of such a battle.

But how difficult this is! Wu Pifu's current all-out battle, while not enough to say he can truly defeat the source, is still at a high level within the sublimated body realm. Destroying stars and capturing the moon are all commonplace for him. The main brain deserves much credit for his rapid rise to power, especially the title system and the super brain, both of which are indispensable. And these are things that small animals cannot replicate.

The reason Wu Pifu decided to take Xu Shilan and Amadei to level up and become stronger was because they also had the assistance of the main brain. As long as they established a high-level shelter, they could obtain their first title, which was also the most suitable title for them. Just like his title of "commoner," once obtained, their strength would immediately undergo the first qualitative change.

Aside from titles, all other functions of the sanctuary can greatly enhance one's strength, such as stat point allocation, as well as the cultivation of extraordinary techniques...

Compared to humans, even if a few small animals can cultivate and become stronger, their speed is more than a hundred times slower!

Therefore, this path is too difficult to achieve; it would be impossible to complete it in less than several hundred years.

The second option is to find a way to accommodate several small animals in a supernatural system. Whether it's Wu Pifu creating a stable extradimensional space or letting the small animals share his power, it can solve the problem of their weak strength.

This extraordinary method in the game was simply the best solution Wu Pifu could think of.

Once you sign a contract with a few small animals, you can not only inject your spiritual energy into them, greatly increasing their strength, but also revive them at their essence even if their physical bodies are destroyed. This directly solves the problem at its core.

Wu Pifu flipped through the parchment scroll, asking anxiously, "Is this all? Are there any other clues? Or perhaps the cultivation method for this extraordinary system?"

Youmu said regretfully, "There's only this. However, the monsters in that ancient ruin are divided into two types. One type is humanoid skeletons, which are slow and don't look particularly special, but they can summon all sorts of summoned beasts. As long as there is one summoned beast, they cannot attack these humanoid skeletons. The second type is these summoned beasts, which are obviously the extraordinary paths to the game recorded on this parchment. Unfortunately, there is only this damaged first chapter of the contract."

Wu Pifu felt a slight sense of regret.

However, this is still a great gain. At least we have a clear goal. The game's extraordinary path is something we're already quite proud of, just knowing the name is already very good.

The reward for a Level 4 Shelter is a specific item from that dream world, but this requires a thorough understanding of the dream world to use. Otherwise, you won't know what rare items are in the dream world. Just knowing the name of this extraordinary path is very important information in itself. Every Level 4 Shelter can try it once. If it exists in this world, you can obtain it immediately.

Gao Changgong was standing nearby. He took the parchment and made his own judgment. Then he immediately said to Wu Pifu, "Now that we know the name of this extraordinary path, things will be much easier. I will mobilize the extraordinary members of my guild. As long as they establish a shelter, they can immediately use it to search for and obtain this item. Although it is difficult for most people to establish a level 5 shelter, there are many level 4 shelters. I believe we will receive a response soon."

Wu Pifu nodded in agreement.

This is certainly not free, but the reward of a level four shelter item given by a low-level Night Watchman is easily offset by anything Wu Pifu gives, and you can also gain Wu Pifu's friendship, which is of great value to a low-level Night Watchman.

Otherwise, relying solely on Wu Pifu or the shelters established by those around him would make the search quite troublesome.

Youmu chuckled from the side, "Besides Guild Master Gao's guild, several top-tier teams can also help Mr. Wu with the search. I believe we'll get a response soon."

This is natural.

Among Wu Pifu's friends, besides Gao Changgong who established a super guild, there are also Chu Yuyan, Wang Yihui, and others who entered the Dream World in the form of small teams. These teams are currently the top teams among humans, and they are already able to delve into the Zero.6 Dream World. They can also fully help Wu Pifu search for extraordinary paths in this game.

Wu Pifu then spoke with Yaomeng about the flourishing state of human civilization. Yaomeng repeatedly urged Wu Pifu not to act rashly, as he was responsible for the safety of the entire human civilization and could not afford to be negligent.

A moment later, Youmu hurriedly left again. Gao Changgong said from the side, "There's nothing we can do. We're short-handed right now. Youmu is one of the top superhumans in the government. She's always busy... But thankfully, a new batch of sleeping people is ready to be awakened. The government proposal has a budget. This time, we plan to awaken about three million people. Even if only one-tenth of them become Night Watchers, our human strength will increase significantly."

Upon hearing this, Wu Pifu walked to the balcony of the lounge and looked out.

The entire Land of Redemption was bathed in light and sunshine. Outside the city, there was lush greenery and flowing water, while inside the city, people came and went, and many construction sites were underway.

It truly is a scene of great prosperity...

very nice.

The next day, Xu Shilan and Amadei returned, and the three of them went back to Gaia. After a day of rest, they were all in high spirits.

Wu Pifu used the mission reward.

"My chosen wish is to obtain a true and complete Dream Compass, or at least its clues, with the Dream World limited to 0.7 Dream World levels."
