Dream Travel

Chapter 209 His net worth is still rising.
"Have you made your decision?"

"Of course, but do you want it now?"

Borre shook his head: "Not now, this matter needs to be reported through the normal procedure."

It's fortunate that the director and Bai Mu weren't familiar with each other, otherwise there would have been some things that were unclear during the Ministry of the Interior's investigation.

Currently, he's the only one familiar with the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Bai Mu) and is only a mid-level agent. In terms of his position, he can't influence the Bureau's decisions.

No matter how good the relationship is with Bai Mu, can he truly consider him one of his own? The best outcome would be for Bai Mu to choose the Rota City Disposal Bureau first.

Why think so much?
"But I really want to explore new Dreamlands. Aren't there still two Dreamlands terminals?"

“…There’s no need for further investigation for now.” Borre took a deep breath, emphasizing the words ‘further investigation’.

In the Bureau of Investigation, those who knew what Bai Mu had done understood that when sending this guy to investigate otherworldly dreams, it was best to send him to dreams that had just appeared and had not been investigated at all.

This way, the White Curtain won't cause any trouble, and sending him over to those Dreamers who have already been touched by the Dreamers organization is to solve their problems?
Well, it seems the problem has indeed been solved, but the White Curtain has also left many holes in the Dream.

Therefore, when he investigates alternate dreams, he should focus on those that are not yet explored.

With his abilities, he could probably investigate all the undeveloped dreams in one go, so the subsequent processing bureau could make a judgment on whether to seal the dreams away, preserve them, or place them in the dream graveyard.

"That's it?" Bai Mu was very disappointed.

"How about you just take a vacation?" Borei sighed and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Then let's keep this here for now. I'm afraid it will get broken into if I keep it at my house. Otherwise, if the people from the Elvik Disposal Bureau come looking for it, I'll just say that we've reached an agreement."

"..." Borei looked at the briefcase, but ultimately didn't keep it. Bai Mu knew the value of the item, and so did he.

But this matter cannot be explained by mere trust. Borei did not leave the briefcase, but agreed to Bai Mu's proposal. This matter is not over yet, but it is highly likely that Bai Mu will not be responsible for the rest.

When Bai Mu went back, he went to the experience store and bought a large-capacity storage disk from Lily.

"Thirty thousand." Lily handed over a storage disk.

Bai Mu's expression began to falter: "You're taking advantage of my misfortune?"

"And after the discount?"

He glanced at the information on the storage disk: the production date was 2114. Okay, this production year...

"Give me two more, deduct it from my account." He hadn't yet collected the money from the electronic devices he consigned with Lily; he could just have it deducted directly from his account if he needed anything.

After transferring all the research data to the storage disk, Bai Mu went to the sewers, took out Ling Shu, and fired a few shots at the open briefcase.

The ball lightning destroyed everything inside the box. Although some debris could still be found, the electronic devices damaged by the lightning were beyond repair.

After cleaning up the crime scene, Bai Mu left the sewers. Not long after he left, someone arrived and fell silent as they looked at the scattered remains on the ground.

"Is he out of his mind?" The person from the Elwick Disposal Bureau picked up a piece of hard drive fragment, remained silent for a long time, and then spoke with a hint of cursing.

They brought the stuff out of the dream world, instead of thinking about making a fortune, they just destroyed it in a sewer?

Despite cursing under his breath, he still had to take these things with him. As for directly attacking Bai Mu... well, not really, and it wouldn't be appropriate.

The guy White Curtain sabotaged the Elvik Disposal Bureau's operations, and those who encountered them weren't killed on the spot.

Their idea was to first make contact with Bai Mu. Since the other party was a temporary worker at the Rota Disposal Bureau, they could poach him.

However, before they could even make contact, Bai Mu stopped doing anything.

However, they still have no intention of giving up. What if he has already reached an agreement with the Rota Disposal Bureau and what he destroys is just a pile of useless garbage?
"Should we try to get in touch with him?"

"Let's make contact first, and then keep a close eye on the Rota Bureau's movements. This matter won't end here."

The people from the Elvik processing bureau left.

The next day, they found the white curtain; they hadn't concealed their identities.

Bai Mu was a bit annoyed. He didn't even call out to the catgirl when he came back. The next day, he was planning to go out of the city to test his improvement, but someone came knocking on his door.

“Mr. White Curtain, we are from the Elvik Disposal Bureau…”

"Come in." Since everyone was already there and seemed quite polite, Bai Mu was a little annoyed, but he didn't kick them out.

"You want to study the data?" Since they were in a hurry, Bai Mu got straight to the point.

"Yes, the Elvik Processing Bureau had made many preparations to obtain research data, but an accident occurred at the last moment."

"Well, the unexpected one is me, right?" Bai Mu muttered to himself, then said, "That's a real shame. I did find some research data when I was dealing with the Otherworld Organization, but I have a cooperation agreement with the Rota Processing Bureau."

The two, who had already prepared themselves mentally, were still somewhat disappointed to hear Bai Mu say this. They hadn't even offered their terms yet, and Bai Mu had already said this, making the refusal all the more obvious.

"Mr. Bai Mu, are you really not going to reconsider dismounting?"

"I've settled in Rota City." Bai Mu patted the sofa he was sitting on. That's it? The two of them were starting to lose their composure.

They could have arranged better things for Elvik, but one of them noticed certain details and gently tugged at his colleague.

"That's a pity. I'm sorry to bother you. I hope we'll have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

The two left without reaching an agreement, but since things had come to this point, they couldn't let the relationship become even more strained.

"What happened?" one of them asked his colleague after they left.

“He’s not just settled here…” His colleague shook his head. Judging from where Bai Mu lived, he appeared to be single, but there were actually traces of another person living there.

Although few in number, the details suggest that it was a woman.

It's fine if it's just a house; Bai Mu's abilities match Elwick's investment. But when it comes to matters of the heart, we need to figure things out beforehand, otherwise we might easily step on someone's landmines.

And most importantly, the White Curtain and the Rota Disposal Bureau have reached an agreement. The director of the Rota Disposal Bureau is an old codger who is very shrewd.

How can we utilize information that is difficult to use in this era?

As a technological reserve, to be used decades later? That's a good idea, and various countries are doing it, storing up advanced technological knowledge within the dream world, and then taking it out whenever it's needed.

It's pointless to just leave things unused; it's better to seal them up.

However, the technology involving condensed matter ghosts is different. In reality, there is no complete technological system, but there is a ready-made equipment foundation.

If it can be obtained, then the required cost will be greatly reduced.

The source of this foundation is the Dream Organization, which the Elvik Disposal Bureau has been eyeing for a long time.

Their original plan was to use an inside agent to take away the core information, force the Yimeng organization to leave Yimeng, and then negotiate with the Yimeng organization.

If we can incorporate them, we will; if not, we will dispose of them and retrieve the relevant equipment.

As for the threat of those condensed ghosts within the alternate dream? The inside man simply needs to cut the power.

The Dream Organization has developed portable versions of condensed ghosts using other technologies, but these are far fewer in number compared to the ghosts maintained by the entire nuclear power plant.

Furthermore, its stability is not as high as that of nuclear power plants.

Anyone with a sound mind, especially the director of the Rota City Bureau of Justice, would recognize the significance of this research data.

Condensed Ghosts are useful in many ways. Although they lack growth potential, even a dog, once turned into a Condensed Ghost, can pose a deadly threat to a group of demons.

Bai Mu, who was planning to leave the city, stopped by the experience store on the way. It wasn't specifically to visit Lily, but to pick up his car and inquire about his net worth.

How much bounty do I have now?

"Bai Mu, you care about this a lot? Are you afraid of encountering someone you can't beat?"

"Can't you wish me well for once?" Bai Mu felt a little sad and followed Lily into the small room.

Lily produced two of the latest bounty posters.

The bounty for the original eleven million has increased by five hundred thousand, while the bounty for the four million remains largely unchanged. In addition, there is a new bounty of five million.

"These organizations are all pretty rich." White Curtain was a little dissatisfied as he looked at the unsurprisingly new bounty.

He sabotaged the organization's development, and as a result, they were only willing to offer a five million bounty.
All of them combined don't even compare to the first bounty, which at least increased by 500,000!
"You're not satisfied with the white curtain?"

"After all, I recently had a big deal worth nearly 20 million." Bai Mu took his car keys and left the experience store, went to the lower city, and invited the craftsmen to go out of town for fun.

“You’ve been in a lot of trouble lately, I’m not going.” The craftsman didn’t even open the door.

"I have collected many fragments of the spirit."

"What does this have to do with me?" The craftsman was even less interested in this matter. He had already met Luciela, so what changes could the fragments of her mind possibly undergo?
Even the demons are largely the same, and there are too many things that can control the soul.

"What the hell..." Unable to find anyone to go with, Bai Mu left the city alone.

He was even thinking that if they were attacked, someone would help them drive.

"Sigh, I've gone a bit mad." After leaving the city, Bai Mu tapped his head. He didn't have normal friends, but he did have some abnormal ones.

There are 26 spirit fragments in the weapon box. Lucy can't drive, but surely there are others who can, right?
Upon arriving at a deserted spot, Bai Mu placed the weapon crate on the ground, and twenty-six phantom figures appeared there...

Previously, if he had created so many illusions, his mental energy would have been exhausted in a short time.

In the dream world, even under special conditions, those who can retain fragments of their spirit under the influence of dream erosion are not considered too weak.

The white curtain has just undergone a new fog enhancement, and it can still barely maintain these illusions when not in combat.

In combat, three to five is enough; more than that will negatively impact him.
