Chapter 409 Clearing the Nightmare, Cake Shop
Even though Dachun was an amateur in this area, he knew that nitroglycerin must be protected from light, moisture, heat, and shock. So the storage location must not be near a window, a sink, or a machine...

Dachun came to a cabinet that met the requirements, but it was locked.

Here? Where is the key?
The key point is that looking for the key now is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Maybe the key was taken away by the custodian after get off work and is not in the factory at all.

Should he force the cabinet open? Dachun was confident in his spiritual power. He thought it wouldn't be a problem to find some tools nearby and force the cabinet open. However, there was a chance that the bottles would explode as soon as he opened the cabinet.

and many more!

Another possibility is that the medicine in the cabinet was not placed properly and was leaning against the cabinet door! Even if you have the key, it will fall down the moment the cabinet door is opened - it is equivalent to a trap.

Dachun turned sideways and carefully observed the cabinet door to see if it had any tendency to bear the weight. It felt like... yes!!
This cabinet must not be opened!

How to do?
Mina said, "If you can't open it, then retreat."

Even so, why not leave a note?

Dachun returned to the desk register and wrote a few words: "Warning! The nitroglycerin inside is tilted. If you open the cabinet, it will slip and explode."

And then, of course, when doing good things, you should leave your name behind! Just writing "Dachun"—that's not right either!

What if I left a note and he saw it, but didn't believe it or it exploded due to an operational error, and he turned around and said that I was the one who sneaked into the factory and caused the explosion... This kind of thing is not impossible, right?

It’s better to leave the name “the most famous”, which is a bit more subtle.

Then tear off this page of paper and stick it on the cabinet.

"Mina, retreat."

Mina couldn't wait any longer: "Master, hurry up and go."

So the next moment, Dachun and Mina left the old man's consciousness.

Looking at the old man again, he was still sleeping, but he was no longer groaning as before.

Well, has his dream changed? Or should I wait until he falls asleep tonight and then continue to check. Regardless, the goal is to make bread.

Dachun asked Mina again: "Mina, can we continue?"

Mina said: "Of course, I'm stronger now."

Then I walked around and found that the people sleeping were a few sick and coughing children.

Mina said, "This is measles, easily contagious between children. Poor people can't afford medicine, so they can only endure it by drinking hot water. Children are most susceptible to illness, but illness coupled with childhood trauma can amplify their fears. Therefore, they face more challenges than adults."

Dachun thought of something: "If fear is multiplied, what kind of monster will be born?"

Mina said solemnly, "It should! But after all, it's a child's consciousness. Even if a monster is born, it won't last long, and it won't be that strong. I believe that the master and I should be able to defeat it. Then I will be able to get a big improvement."

That's right! My Soul Fist can even crush the soul of a wild tree god.

Dachun was actually a little excited: "Then come in."

Mina said, "I noticed there's a kid over there whose mental energy is fluctuating abnormally. He might be having a nightmare. We can go find him first."

"Then it's him."

——System prompt: Warning! Your soul has entered the dream of "Little Bean Nail", so be careful.

A warning as soon as I arrive! Is this really a nightmare?
Then the scene changed, and Dachun appeared on a street with bright lights and blurry people, and the sky and the ground seemed to be spinning.

Dachun was extremely uncomfortable: "What's going on?"

Mina said, "I think I'm dizzy because of illness, and that's why I'm dizzy in my dreams."

Then a thin figure walked forward along the corner of the street. It was the dream master!

His timid and cautious attitude immediately reminded Dachun of himself when he first arrived at Lost Paradise. Back then, even a meter-tall kid wouldn't dare walk on the street, clinging to the walls like a mouse. Dachun understood the child's fear deeply.

Then Dachun followed him to a cake shop. In the blurry scene, the cake shop was so clear. Every cake in the window was steaming with butter, and every detail was meticulously crafted! It had to be said that these cakes were much more professional than those made by Ailian.

Then the child stared at the cake from a distance, not daring to move.

Dachun looked very sad, even dreaming so restrained, but this does not seem like a nightmare? Okay, I just came to deliver bread, just right.

So Dachun came to him and handed him some bread. The child suddenly came to his senses and looked up at Dachun again, his face full of nervous excitement and disbelief.

Mina smiled gently and said, "Are you hungry? This is for you!"

The child came to his senses again, immediately picked up his clothes to wrap the face, and ran away without looking back!

At this moment, a group of thugs' voices came from the streets: "Boy, hand over the food you have..."

The next moment, several huge figures suddenly flashed in the streets, and the entire brightly lit street was instantly dimmed! These figures were taller than the buildings!

Dachun was shocked: "This is his nightmare!"

Mina exclaimed, "This is the child's psychological shadow, the fear magnified several times!"

They are clearly a group of little hooligans, this could be magnified dozens of times or more!

The next moment, the whole dream was shaking, and the child ran back crawling, but his hands were still tightly holding the bread in his clothes.

——System prompt: Warning! The dream is experiencing a violent shock and is about to disappear.

Are you going to wake up in shock? I have to take action!

Dachun immediately rushed forward: "Don't panic, I'm here to save you!"

The group of shadowy figures laughed: "We have helpers, beat him to death!"

The black figure dropped a giant fist from the sky, like a car dropped from a rooftop! The immense wind pressure from the fist sucked Dachun in, rendering him motionless—holy crap! Even the attacks of the wild tree gods couldn't do this. What on earth was this?

It was an illusion! It had to be an illusion, just like when he first encountered the bat's soul while possessing the bat's body. The other party was big but not strong... Dachun fought with all his might against the wind, shielding the child behind him. Then, he unleashed a sky-high punch—BOOM!
The screen flickered—System prompt: Warning! Your soul has suffered severe damage, triggering the gang's special Grandmaster skill, activating the Overlord effect and granting 90% damage immunity. Your attack power is increased by an additional 90% for 10 seconds...

Damn, he smashed me to pieces with just one punch, it wasn’t an illusion!

But the other party also screamed: "It hurts!"

Did this punch just hurt? No time to think, seize these 10 seconds to decide the outcome!

Astrology predicts a blow, open!

At the same time, a great explorer teleported to the top of his head, which was several stories high, and delivered a bare-handed "heavy chop" to his forehead!
This punch, with its combination of critical hits, weak hits, and stun attacks, the opponent's huge figure fell down like a giant advertising balloon in the square that had been deflated.

Mina, who was on the ground, immediately dragged the child away and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. Look, these guys are very weak. The master will beat them to pieces!"

The child finally let out a cry from his soul: "Blast this garbage!"

At this moment, the entire dream space was shaking violently!

Dachun raced against time to find his next target, and suddenly realized that he was as tall as them. Without time to think about what was going on, Dachun punched again - bang! The other guy's head really exploded like a volcano!

This damage is totally unreasonable! ?
The child even shouted excitedly: "Hit, hit~~"

The remaining few turned around and tried to run, but Dachun suddenly realized that the blurry rooftops and blocks of buildings around him were all within his sight, and he was already much taller than them!
Then use one step to defeat them in two steps, catch up with them and punch them all to pieces!
Black smoke drifted in the dream. Mina soared into the air and used a sprayer to absorb the smoke. "Master, this can already be called a nightmare. It's exactly the energy I need!"

There is such a good thing! However, such a young child actually had a nightmare. How miserable must it be to be bullied by hooligans?
As he was feeling emotional, Dachun suddenly realized that he had returned to his normal height without noticing. The child looked up at him with admiration: "I must not be dreaming. I know you. You are Dachun, the world's most wanted criminal. Some say you are a good person, some say you are a bad person, but I know you must be a strong person!"

Uh... I've been recognized?
Dachun was very pleased, but still wanted to keep it a secret: "Xiaodouding, I want to beat up the bad guys in the city, but I need to keep it secret. If anyone asks, just say you dreamed of the most famous person. Don't mention my name, okay?"

The child nodded excitedly: "Great! I dreamed of the most famous person!"

Then the child turned around and pointed at the cake shop: "Actually, I have a dream too, that's my dream!"

I thought he was hungry and wanted to eat!
Dachun was incredulous: "You mean, that's your shop?"

The child shook his head: "Not now, but definitely in the future! To thank you for saving me, I give you my dream."

Oh shit, a free shop? A dream building like a dance hall?
Dachun was stunned: "Can dreams be given as gifts?"

The child said with emotion: "Because I have a new dream, which is to become as strong as you! When I become strong, I can continue to run a cake shop and a barbecue restaurant."

Dachun laughed: "That makes sense!"

The child said, "Snotty and the others must be hungry. I'm going to take the bread back to them. Goodbye, most famous big brother!"

Dachun was stunned: "Send bread to other partners?"

Mina said: "It's possible that several people met in dreams at the same time."

Holy shit, this dream of networking... is the chance even one in ten thousand? But in the game, as a research project for the Ten Masters, it's entirely possible. In fact, the gathering of the Five Cities Flowers in Valhalla is the equivalent of a dream of networking.

Dachun shouted, "Wait! I still have a lot of bread. Take off your clothes and wrap them up! Also, drink plenty of hot water and be strong."

The child was excited: "Thank you, brother! A little cold is nothing..."

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have eliminated Xiao Douding's fearful dream and received the reward "Dream Cake Shop"!
——Dream Cake Shop: Dream Essence. Can additionally enhance the cooking effects of bread and cakes.

The next moment, Dachun and Mina left the child's consciousness, but a ball of light appeared in Dachun's hand, and the cake shop was in the ball of light.

Holy shit, compared to the previous situation where a hundred dancers had to work tirelessly to move the light ball out of the old witch's remaining consciousness like moving a mountain, this light ball is so advanced - yes, the high-end artifacts Eve had played with before were all wrapped in light balls. She directly took out a magic tower to defend on the spot.

Mina said, "Master, let's go back. You've been damaged in the battle. I've also gained a lot of nightmare power, and I need to hurry and absorb it to become stronger."

Dachun said with relief: "Okay, then let's go back and rest."

Then Dachun remembered something: "During the battle just now, I suddenly became bigger and stronger. What happened?"

Mina sighed, "This situation is actually quite rare. It must be his strong desire that dictated the rules of the dream. He got to know the Master, had a basic idea of ​​His strength, and then discovered that the Master was truly formidable. His fear was transformed into hope and admiration, and the Master's image was greatly elevated. Of course, this also shows that he truly is a child with exceptional mental strength, and is fully capable of becoming a powerful being."

That's it!

As he was talking, Dachun found the black cat, possessed it again, and then flew back. At this time, Dachun was carrying a cake shop light ball on his body, and he was eager to go home, so he shouted, "Cat, run faster!"

When we were returning to the main city, the black cat suddenly meowed, jumped into a tree and stopped moving.

Dachun's heart tightened: "Tom?"

The black cat's eyes were focused on a location at the base of the wall.

Mina also became nervous: "It seems... I feel the breath of nightmare, getting closer and closer."

Oh my god! Dachun was extremely nervous as if he was facing a great enemy.

After a while, a faint figure appeared at the base of the wall under the tree - this? It was either an invisible entity or a soul!
He stopped under a tree, looking up and down! It was obvious he was looking for me.

At this time, Dachun finally saw his name clearly. It was a player, Midnight Moore! !
Holy shit, Midnight Moore's hidden class is Nightmare! No, Nightmare is a race. No wonder he was able to break into the safe of the Gem City scumbag to get intel. Maybe he already understood Nightmare during the public beta!
I had previously sent a message to Zhou Qing, asking him to follow Detective Holmes. This meant Holmes had also come to Bronze City, most likely to rescue me? Or at least to echo my sentiments.

Although I recognized him as one of our own, Dachun had too many secrets, and even one of our own couldn't know them. It's better to hide for a while.

After a stalemate for a while, Midnight Moore really didn't notice anything and walked along the wall.

Dachun laughed in surprise. Even a professional master like him was sticking to the wall. This was a manifestation of insecurity.

Finally, the black cat returned to its previous position outside the factory. Dachun and Mina left again and returned to the small dark room where Dachun slept.

——System prompt: Congratulations! Your soul has experienced intense combat training during its journey out of the body. Your spirit is +1!
Ailian was quite surprised: "My dear, you are back. Are you okay?"

This feeling of longing for my lover to return...

"Good news, I brought back a cake shop that will improve your cooking skills. Look where it's placed, dear!"
