Dream Travel

Chapter 179 I'll bet on how tough your life is.
Gabriel explained Bai Mu's needs very seriously. He didn't want to mislead anyone. Now, Bai Mu is learning his Baguazhang, and the efficiency is about the same as regular training.

Practical application? He has even started to simplify the practical application of Baguazhang, that is, to call up relevant power transfer methods during combat, and to break down the Baguazhang routine into various combat movements.

Unless the battle turns into a clash of internal energy like in martial arts novels, once physical fitness reaches a certain level, the competition boils down to speed, accuracy, and the application of one's body.

Methods like Tai Chi are also applications of the body and strength.

Furthermore, Gabriel knows too little about Whitebeard. Even if he were to impart his knowledge, he would need to understand the character of Whitebeard first.

How can you expect to pass on your best skills to someone just by chatting for a few minutes and ordering a couple of dishes?
“Here’s what you wanted.” Evan handed over a document containing the personal information of the members of the illegal organization.

Although this information is from this world and may not be applicable on the other side of the white curtain, physical appearance information is still useful, right?

"Do you have any further plans? I'm available to continue participating." Bai Mu stuffed the documents into the weapons case.

“No more!” Evan said decisively. He would never take any further action with the White Curtain.

This guy is really ruthless. If he does this a few more times, that illegal organization might launch a large-scale terrorist attack.

"How stingy! Let's talk again next time."

The rejected White Curtain had no intention of staying there any longer.

He made another request: "Then send me back to where I was before."

“No problem,” Evan agreed.

With the opening of the wormhole, Bai Mu was transported to the place where he first left, but his car was gone.

"...Huh? My car!!"

Fueled by anger over his stolen car, Bai Mu went straight to cause trouble for the nearest gang, bought a bunch of stuff, and then left.

The situation in this world is special, and he doesn't know how to create a device to open a wormhole. He also understands the basic situation, so there's no need for him to stay here.

A vehicle appeared inside the cabin where the Dream Terminal was located.

This time, Bai Mu was surrounded by a lot of dream mist, but it didn't improve him much, mainly because there was much less dream mist this time compared to the last time.

His strength has already improved a lot, but with less fog, the improvement is less noticeable.

Most of the mist was absorbed by the white curtain, while the remaining mist condensed into large Dream Erosion Crystals, each the size of a walnut, nine in total.

There were no other items, which disappointed Bai Mu greatly, as he had thought he would eventually obtain Dream Erosion items.

“If you continue like this, something bad will happen.” When they arrived at the makeshift hospital, Bo Lei frowned as he looked at the car driven by Bai Mu.

The Dreamwalker in the White Curtain is too talented; he will be targeted sooner or later. The Bureau of Investigation and Statistics can cover it up, but it can't cover it up forever.

"Then I can't waste my talent."

Bai Mu then took out the document and said, "I'll keep this car."

“No problem.” Borei nodded. Bai Mu was already a superhuman, and since he was the one who brought the car back, no one would say anything.

Upon arriving at the office, Bai Mu casually tossed the document onto the table and found a place to sit down.

Have your people returned?

"Not so fast. What have you found?" Borre flipped through the documents, which contained quite a few photos.

"That alternate dream world has 125 parallel universes, and each universe has identical parallel individuals. When these identical individuals kill each other, they can equally divide their respective energy..."

Bai Mu briefly explained the situation of this alternate dream world and what the unknown organization had done. Bo Lei listened with a serious expression.

"It's troublesome..."

He could already imagine how much resistance this alternate dream would face, but the fact that the alternate dream world was special didn't matter.

The problem is that this dream world is special, but it has also been operated by an illegal organization, which has already established a chain of interests.

The customized enhancement service that guarantees admission to the extraordinary is something that the rich love. Even if such an extraordinary ability is a blank one, no one will think that a blank extraordinary ability is weak.

A blank slate means a clean foundation, allowing for more enhancements later on, unlike some extraordinary individuals whose future growth path is fixed after becoming extraordinary due to the influence of some power.

Becoming an extraordinary person through this method allows one to later seek out vampires, demons, and similar beings, acquiring their power without conflict.

"Oh, by the way, I killed a boss who accepted customized services."

"...You might be facing retaliation."

"It's alright, I have no relatives or friends here, I'm not afraid of this." At this point, Bai Mu asked Bo Lei, "Won't this affect you?"

"Hmph, I'm an official." Borre snorted coldly, looking down at the document: "How did you get this member information?"

"Oh, I made contact with the time police of the alternate dream world and cooperated with them, but I didn't manage to get my hands on their time travel device."

Bai Mu thought for a moment, and while Bo Lei was pondering, he asked him, "Speaking of which, if that kind of thing were brought out, could it be used in reality?"

“I don’t know, but those things are definitely not easy to bring out.” After thinking for a moment, Borre added, “The Bureau of Processing has paid a great price to bring out certain things before, but those things become weaker or even ineffective after leaving the Dream World.”

"What kind of thing?" White Curtain was interested in this.

“Someone once brought back a ‘wishing scroll.’ You can make a wish with it, but it's ineffective in reality.” “That’s a shame.” Bai Mu asked casually, “Does this alternate dream still exist?”

Borei's expression turned wary, not fooled by his nonchalance: "This alternate dream has a demon, and the demon is weak, so the source of the alternate dream has been 'destroyed'."

"Those demons deserve to die!!"

Borei rolled his eyes inwardly. This really wasn't the demon's fault. Well, the demon did bear some responsibility, but the key was that this dream world was too advanced.

After the people on the other side discovered the real people, they began to 'decipher' the dream in a very short time. In order to avoid a more serious special 'dream erosion', the reality processing bureau simply destroyed the alternate dream.

"Do the Time Police know anything about us here?" Borre brought the conversation back on track.

“They’ve treated this place like an ‘outer universe.’ I impersonated law enforcement and got in touch with them. You can arrange for someone to investigate later, and you can use my name.”

Borre corrected Bai Mu's words: "You have an authorization certificate, so it's not impersonation. Well done."

In any case, White Curtain and the official authorities of the Otherworld have connected and even cooperated once. With this foundation, it will be much easier for the Bureau to act afterward.

Cooperating with local officials is also an option, as long as they are receptive to it.

Unlike some other dream worlds, where a bunch of medieval tin cans, upon learning of their existence, shout that they are demons.

The Bureau of Investigation and Handling of Evil Cases has dealt with many cases involving demons, yet the indigenous people regard them as demons, which is utterly contrary to the natural order.

Moreover, in some other dream worlds, they are regarded as extraterrestrial demons, which the natives consider even more hateful than demons.

"I'll head back now if there's nothing else." Having said all that he could, Bai Mu had no intention of staying at the Bureau any longer.

He didn't gain anything good from this dream journey, only a slight increase in power, which left him feeling rather uninterested.

Borre reminded White Curtain: "Remember to register your car at the city hall. With the authorization certificate from the processing bureau, it will be done quickly."

"understood."

After driving away from the processing bureau, Bai Mu went straight to the experience store: "Want to hop in for a ride?"

Lily spoke a few words to a shop assistant, then opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat: "From now on, I can waive some service fees for you, give you a 10% discount on goods, and sign an inheritance agreement with me."

Is this considered an investment?

Bai Mu felt that Lily was being a bit greedy, only offering a 10% discount?
Lily answered frankly, "Of course it counts. I bet you'll die young, and you bet you're tough enough."

"You set the prices on your end, so what's the point of offering discounts? You might as well give them away for free."

“Mr. Bai Mu, you’re really heartless.” Lily’s smile remained unchanged.

"Although I set the prices, if you understand the market, you'll find that discounts really work."

In other words, if you don't understand it, then you can ask her for whatever price she wants.

"How about a 20% discount?" Considering the woman beside him was too unscrupulous, Bai Mu wanted to negotiate.

"Ok."

"Hmm..." He felt that saying he would break a bone was fine, but since it was already agreed upon, Bai Mu wouldn't go back on his word. He reminded Lily, "I'm going to encounter a lot of trouble recently, and this agreement might implicate you."

"That's your business, Mr. Bai Mu. I'm just a businessman."

"That's fine."

Bai Mu took Lily to the city hall. They could come here to apply for things like marriage certificates in the future. However, this time he came to register his own car.

Upon seeing the authorization certificate from the processing bureau presented by the white-clad staff, they immediately arranged for someone to register the information on-site, took photos, and quickly completed the relevant paperwork.

"Can that 20% discount be used in reverse? You can buy these things back at a premium."

Lily glanced at the laptop and phone that Bai Mu had brought back and shook her head: "This won't work. You can consign them with me. I'll only charge a 5% commission."

"What about my 20% discount?" Bai Mu thought of the 'usage' of the agreement that Lily had mentioned.

But the woman's fox-like smile made him feel that Lily's proposal of 'consignment' at this moment was a clear indication that the agreement with White Curtain was worthwhile.

"Then 4%."

Back at the Dream Experience Store, Lily helped White Curtain unload the goods and then returned to the car with an agreement in hand: "We still need to go to the City Hall."

She had already prepared the agreement, a legal one, so signing it at the city hall was the most appropriate place.

"Since you're so well-prepared, why don't we take this opportunity to get our marriage certificate?"

"Bai Mu, do you know anything about me?" Lily asked Bai Mu with a smile.

"We can take it slow."

"Take it slow, but that also means you need to be home often, Bai Mu."

Bai Mu thought for a moment, then realized, "This is a bit difficult..."
