Dream Travel

Chapter 207 This sublimation doesn't seem to be very effective.

There were seven pieces of dark blue Dream Erosion Crystal, quite large in size, and of the highest quality.

Bai Mu casually set the Dream Erosion Crystal aside and took out other things from the weapon box.

This is a cylindrical object that can be held in one hand, similar to the hilt of a lightsaber, but without the corresponding sci-fi feel. It is somewhat similar to ceramic, but not smooth, and can be divided into two ends.

This thing is formed by the condensation of a large amount of fog, and it's just a pair of sunglasses. Bai Mu casually picked it up from the nuclear power plant base.

It was probably left behind by someone from a different dream organization. He took it away to cover up the traces of the Dream-Eroded Imperial Arm.

As a result, one pair of sunglasses became two.

He compared them, and the fogged-up sunglasses were exactly the same as the ones he had retrieved.

After testing with test strips, both items were found to be dream-eroded props.

As for the Dream Erosion attribute, that requires identification.

Bai Mu picked up the cylinder again, tapped it with his hand, and found that the material was quite strong.

After observing for a while, Bai Mu figured out how to use this thing. This thing should be a weapon, but it is definitely not a lightsaber, but a 'ghost' weapon.

The weapons he encountered were used by certain special ghosts; their handles could emit light, but this light didn't allow the weapons to be used as flashlights.

The light is not strong; it can only illuminate the 'sword blade' to a certain extent. The light on the hilt can also be turned off, and then the weapon becomes the 'Shadowless Sword'.

In terms of destructive power, the white screen tested it and found that it cannot cut things unless it encounters ceramic items or items with energy fields.

Otherwise, this thing wouldn't have much destructive power against ordinary objects, but it is extremely lethal to living organisms.

The damage is not caused by the form of the weapon; it doesn't matter if the weapon is not in the form of a sword but a club.

It has no destructive power in itself, but relies on the ultra-low temperature released after contact with living organisms to cause damage, so the form of the weapon is not so important.

But if given a choice, I personally think the current form of White Curtain is quite good.

It has no destructive power when encountering ordinary objects, but it is different when encountering objects with energy fields. The strength of the condensed blade is extremely high. During the white screen test, it was able to cut the weapon box without any damage.

Of course, this weapon is not designed for destruction, but rather for killing living beings.

For ordinary creatures, this weapon is equivalent to having an instant-kill effect; even a slight touch would pose a threat of extremely low temperatures.

The mist, almost half-condensed, formed this thing... Was it worth it? After the test, Bai Mu twirled the hilt of his sword. "Speaking of which, do such weapons exist in this dream world?"
Or perhaps it's a weapon developed by the Dream Organization?

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Mu felt it was a good deal.

He can only absorb so much of the dream mist; whatever the unabsorbed portion condenses into can be avoided as a waste.

After waiting a while longer, Bai Mu simply wrote a note, stuck it on his door, and left with his equipment.

He was still curious about what Dream Erosion attribute the new equipment would have.

"Bai Mu, you're not really here to kidnap me, are you?" Lily asked Bai Mu with a smile as he arrived at the experience store.

"Stop talking nonsense and help me get it appraised." Bai Mu placed his newly acquired item in front of Lily.

Lily readily took out her testing tools and performed the test for him.

The good news is that Lily's intelligence can be identified; the bad news is that the Dream Erosion attribute of this condensed weapon is 'average'.

Unlike the Dream Eater Greatsword, it does not possess specialized lethality against bio-modified organisms, nor does it have any special properties beyond its own scope.

The Dream Erosion attribute possessed by the condensed-state longsword is stability.

This is a dream erosion attribute that is not common, and often not very useful.

Lily has the corresponding Dream Erosion attribute record here because she once appraised a laptop that had a 'stable' Dream Erosion attribute.

When the corresponding attributes are applied to a laptop, they enable the laptop's system to operate extremely stably, preventing system crashes even under extreme conditions.

Code that won't run or will crash on other computers will avoid crashing on that laptop. Regardless of what kind of code it is, it will definitely be able to run.

"That laptop was bought for a high price of fifty million."

"You sold it?"

Lily smiled and nodded: "I bought it for 600,000."

"Holy crap..." Bai Mu looked at the woman in front of him with new eyes, which shows that having a skill can be really profitable.

"It's a pity that your thing, White Curtain, isn't an electronic device."

"I'm quite disappointed too." Bai Mu looked at the sunglasses: "What about these?"

"It allows people to see things that are invisible to the naked eye, but there are many types of this dream erosion attribute."

"Like ghosts?"

Lily looked at the white screen with some confusion: "Can't you see the white screen?"

"I've never encountered one." Bai Mu didn't admit that he couldn't see them; he'd wait until he encountered a normal ghost.

As for the 'ghosts' he collected in his weapon case, they were clearly not normal.

Putting on the sunglasses, Bai Mu looked down at the condensed longsword in his hand. With the blade extended, he could see it even without using any light. If he had had something like this before, he wouldn't have needed to steal the military's helmet.

Okay.

He took out the Dream Erosion Crystal: "Use all of it on this stuff."

“Okay.” Lily was not surprised by what Bai Mu brought out, after all, Bai Mu always brought high-quality Dream Erosion Crystals.

She gradually incorporated the seven Dream Erosion Crystals of the same origin into the condensed weapon, enhancing its Dream Erosion attributes.

However, this time the situation was different. After Lily knocked the last Dream Erosion Crystal into the condensed weapon, the weapon flashed.

Compared to his previous displays of excitement, Bai Mu was much calmer this time.

"White Curtain, you should be excited. This is a manifestation of the sublimation of Dream Erosion attribute."

"Huh? It didn't glow last time." Bai Mu was taken aback. How could there be such a difference between glowing lights?
“Not all light-emitting is the same; I’m a professional.”

"Okay, you're the professional, so you're in charge." Bai Mu felt that it was better for a large amount of mist to condense into this one thing, and was even glad that it hadn't condensed into several other things.

If there are too many, the Dream Erosion attribute won't be so easy to sublimate, right?

He thought his Dream Erosion Greatsword should be sublimated first, since he had been to the related alternate dream twice and his efforts were not scattered.

However, the newcomer was the first to be sublimated, but why is this Dream Erosion attribute 'stable'?
Following Lily's explanation, Bai Mu was also a little curious: what kind of result could a bunch of messy code produce on a computer with stable Dream Erosion properties?

The light emitted by the condensed matter weapon quickly disappeared, and Bai Mu reached out and picked up the sword hilt, which felt cool to the touch.

The temperature it exhibited was exceptionally stable; he could feel the difference between this thing and the previous ones simply by touching it.

His body temperature could not affect the sword hilt; this must be the effect of the Dream Erosion attribute being sublimated on the vessel that carries the Dream Erosion.

Moreover, due to this stability, the strength feedback of the sword hilt has also been enhanced. The exact increase is unclear, but no one would find it inappropriate to increase durability.

The sword blade, invisible to the naked eye, extended out. Bai Mu asked Lily for some iron filings. When those iron filings landed on the sword blade, they did not produce obvious sparks like when a condensed ghost touched iron filings.

He used the weapon case to discharge electricity to affect the sword, but the sword remained stable, behaving completely differently from the condensed ghost.

When a condensed ghost is hit by the electricity he releases, its originally stable form will become like an unrestrained gas.

Normal stability can only be restored after leaving the area covered by lightning.

However, no matter how stable this condensed matter weapon is, its destructive power is still worrying.

It might be able to better shatter some energy fields, but its destructive power against ordinary objects remains unchanged; it can't even split a table in front of it.

"...It doesn't seem to be of much use."

White Curtain was somewhat disappointed with the enhancement of the Dream Erosion attribute.

He thought it would be a huge upgrade, but this is all? Although the Dream Erosion weapon itself doesn't have a damage increase attribute, its performance is far too ordinary.

"That's a real shame. It was supposed to be double the happiness, but it turned into a tragedy instead?" Lily's smile became even brighter.

"Hmph, better than nothing." Bai Mu snorted, put on his Dream Erosion sunglasses, and went home.

This time, we didn't get any Dream Erosion ingredients, and those condensed ghosts probably don't have anything edible either. As for what we did get, White Curtain wouldn't even try it.

He didn't want to become something like a condensed ghost.

At his doorstep, Borre was smoking and waiting for the white curtain to fall.

Upon seeing the returning white curtain, Borei's expression became quite interesting, a complex mix of amazement and helplessness.

"Come inside and we'll talk." Bai Mu took out his key, opened the door, and put the weapon case aside after entering the house. "So, what's gotten me into?"

“You didn’t get into any trouble, but it affected a business deal that the bureau was negotiating.”

Bai Mu frowned: "Hmm? You're using me for business?"

Borre shook his head and explained, "It's something the Elwick Bureau discussed. They want the Rota City Bureau to act cautiously."

The negotiations were problematic to begin with, and the bureau chief intended to use the opportunity to discuss some matters. As for your arrangements, he planned to treat it as a simple outing, but you acted too quickly.

"What do you mean by acting quickly? I told you I was investigating. I've already figured out all the information about the Dream Source."

Borre's brow furrowed even deeper: "So the talks fell apart. The Elwick Disposal Bureau had other plans. They were in a hurry to come and discuss things because they didn't want any complications, and they wanted the Rota Disposal Bureau to get rid of you as soon as possible..."

Bai Mu seemed unimpressed: "What's the use of getting rid of me? I'm just a temporary worker; the permanent staff haven't even started yet."

“If we’ve already gotten rid of you, the permanent staff won’t be going.” Borei glanced at Bai Mu and then said, “Don’t worry about this. It’s not your fault. If the people from the Elvik Disposal Bureau come looking for trouble, the Rota Disposal Bureau will handle it.”

Bai Mu pulled over the briefcase beside him and said, "So when I come back, I'm supposed to leave discreetly?"

Speaking of this, Borre laughed first: "Hahahaha, the people from the Elvik Disposal Bureau are so upset it's like a funeral procession, we should at least show them some sympathy, right?"

Bai Mu opened the briefcase and said, "You guys are too gentle. By the way, during my 'investigation,' I encountered an undercover agent from the Disposal Bureau from the Dream Organization."

Borre nodded: "Anyway, it won't be on our side."

Since he's not an undercover agent on their side, then... it doesn't matter!
