Dream Travel

Chapter 262 Making your opponent make a mistake is also a method

"Good mental fortitude."

A woman's voice rang out from the side. Yuri, who was prepared to be eaten like a snack, looked over and saw a woman in military uniform with long blue hair.

At first glance, she was amazed; the other person had such a great figure and wore such beautiful clothes.

"Who, who are you?" Chito asked, being held tightly in Yuri's arms.

“The people who will help you.” Esdeath looked toward the place where the white curtain was fighting.

The fighting power that Bai Mu is showing now is far inferior compared to when he fought her, and the reason is that this guy wants to kill everyone.

However, half of those who took action were ranged attackers, which made it difficult for Bai Mu to capture everyone even when he went all out.

Therefore, they deliberately left a loophole, but the two women were not attractive enough and only attracted a few people, which was far from the expected result.

However, the fish that have taken the bait should not be let go.

Esdeath glanced at Luciela, but she was more interested in Luciela than these small fry who could be quickly dealt with.

"What are you doing?" A creepy cat-like face with two mouths looked at Esdeath.

Although she finds it difficult to feel hostility towards the White Curtain, she has no such restrictions towards other 'phantoms'.

"Let's have a fight if we get the chance."

Esdeath left immediately after speaking, thinking that White Curtain had made a mountain out of a molehill.

These two indigenous people don't need so much effort to take care of them.

However, Bai Mu is now in charge, and after the fishing trip, she can act on her own for a short period of time.

Ignoring the people dealing with the White Curtain, she went to find the snipers.

Those people can't escape; besides them, there are other fragments of the White Curtain's spirit.

Those mental fragments weren't weak. The white curtain had been drawing fire for so long, so the mental fragments that had been sent out must have managed to get close to the sniper.

This will allow them to escape, and there's no need for White Curtain to keep those useless people around.

"You, you're not going to eat us?" Qianhu looked at Luciela with fear in his eyes. It seemed like the other party could communicate.

"Hehehe—" Lucy Ella glanced at the two girls. They would be good to raise, but right now, if she really wanted to eat them, she wouldn't eat them.

Why choose the inferior product when there's a stronger one available?

Instead of lingering there, she jumped onto the containment wall and began moving around rapidly.

The snipers also spotted Lucyella.

He immediately sensed something was wrong: "Oh no, retreat quickly!!"

Bai Mu isn't a single person; he has other supporters!

Without hesitation, the snipers attempted to provide cover for their teammates fighting the white curtain before being forced to cease their attack.

They were attacked again, this time losing nearly half of their men. Before this, they had never imagined that Whitebeard had any 'teammates'.

The people besieging the White Curtain were also starting to panic. After their teammates providing remote support encountered problems, the threat posed by the White Curtain quickly increased.

They have superhumans, but superhumans are still human. One superhuman has the ability to unleash flames, but his flames pose little threat to the White Curtain.

The attacks that were launched were all blocked by the weapon crates. The biggest threat came from the snipers.

After all, no matter how much the white curtain resists, it can only block attacks from one side.

However, after the suppression of fire from the rear failed, those who were engaged in close combat with the White Curtain began to break down.

It was only then that they realized that the white curtain hadn't been using its full strength at all, but was simply trying to attract their attention.

Now that there's no need to attract attention, the white curtain reveals its hideous side.

The fire-controlling superhuman was sent flying by the weapon box thrown by the white curtain, crashing into the storage wall like a smashed tomato.

The exploration team members who tried to engage Bai Mu in close combat attempted to detonate the bomb at face-to-face, but were kicked away by Bai Mu.

His intentions were too obvious; even without the Dream-Eroding Imperial Arms, White Veil could see them.

The remaining people wanted to escape, but at this point, how could Bai Mu give them a chance to escape?

With the Dream Eater Greatsword planted in the ground, Bai Mu pulled the Spirit Pivot from the weapon case; the moment of the hunt had arrived.

He abides by the official rules of this dream world, but he won't be polite if someone deliberately causes him trouble.

……

"What's going on?!" In reality, Bertrand Dean stared intently at the observation data. Who would have thought that a perfectly normal dream would suddenly start to show a large number of holes?

This means that there have been a large number of casualties in the current dream world, and that this has happened in a very short period of time.

Based on the number of holes, the death toll is no less than twenty.

“At least four teams are locked in a deadly battle…? What are they trying to do?” Bertrand steadied himself, his brow furrowed.

The staff fell silent, watching Bertrand as he checked the data. Someone whispered, "Could it be that the exploration team encountered trouble within the alternate dream?"

"Could it be that they provoked those mushroom people? Or did they activate some kind of dangerous weapon?"

Bertrand looked at the latest data, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

The mushroom-men aren't particularly aggressive; they won't die if they don't court death, and the various companies don't have missions to capture them. Mainly, it's not worthwhile; the mission in this alternate dream is primarily focused on exploring technological knowledge.

There is currently no more suitable area for exploration and excavation than this otherworldly dream.

In a post-apocalyptic world where everyone is dead, and given the advanced technology of the past, there are tons of treasures that can be directly obtained. Why are you staring at those mushroom-like creatures?
There are already enough unique creatures in reality.

Since the mushroom people consume energy, areas with dangerous weapons are usually wiped out by them. No matter how reckless the exploration team is, they cannot possibly die in large numbers.

"Perhaps it was an oversight?"

“An oversight? Get me this!” Bertrand handed a document to his assistant: “I need the most detailed information.”

The assistant glanced at the document; it was submitted by Night Owl Mining Company.

Yimengyuan is controlled by the state. Those companies are currently in a trial period, and the personnel they assign will have corresponding registration records.

The registration information is related to White Curtain, but it is not very detailed. It only records the relevant arrangements of Night Owl Mining and the source of the other party.

Rota City, White Curtain.

The staff quickly found information related to Bai Mu. Although the country's citizen archives were not updated quickly due to the limitations of the times, Bai Mu was no ordinary person.

Even though some data from Rota City wasn't synchronized, there was still other intelligence about the White Curtain.

The fact that he had received the City Badge of the Star of Rota is negligible, but another matter is worth noting.

White curtains are valuable!

More than 50 million are alive, and more than 30 million are dead.

In addition, White Curtain is also an important partner of the Dream Processing Bureau of Rota City, and the local processing bureau has issued him an authorization certificate.

Such authorization certificates are not issued in large numbers, and after they are issued, the local processing bureau must report to the Ministry of the Interior.

Not long ago, White Curtain and the local authorities made a special deal.

They made a profit of 20 million, and the Ministry of Finance reimbursed the expenses of the Rota City Bureau with unusually high efficiency.

The reason is that this transaction is very important. The information that Whitebeard possesses is of great help to the country, and there is also a near-mature piece of equipment in reality.

As for the issue of that set of equipment not being on their side... isn't that being resolved?

They definitely couldn't develop anything related to it, so given that all the conditions were met, it was very profitable for Bai Mu to buy back the data he had for 20 million.

Besides that, there was information about the successful development of some different dreams in the area.

Similar information is available in many other cities, so it's not considered a particularly advantageous feature.

The assistant was very efficient; after checking the information, the Dream Source had stabilized.

The returning assistant knew very well that the reason why the Dream Source had stabilized was mostly because most of the people had died.

Bertrand's face was dark as he flipped through the documents his assistant had found. After a while, Bertrand's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Nightow Company's move..."

Bertrand was speechless at the information. Apart from not being an official, the information about White Curtain was incredibly comprehensive.

He has only been in contact with the Bureau for less than a year, yet he has already amassed so many achievements. Coupled with his identity as a Dream Walker, where did this human prodigy come from?
What made Bertrand feel that Nightow Company was the sixth-ranking company was the bounty offered by the Golden City.

There is no problem with Night Owl Corporation hiring White Curtain. White Curtain has a clean background, a close working relationship with the local authorities, and is a citizen of Rota Star in Rota City.

With numerous positive buffs and his status as a Dreamwalker, it's only natural that Nightow Corporation would hire him.

The problem lies in the bounty offered by the City of Gold.

Without this bounty, this employment would be a monetary transaction. However, with the bounty, it becomes a calculated scheme by Nightow Company.

This guy must be a decoy bomb planted by Nightow Corporation!
How do you win a competition? Besides outperforming your opponent in terms of ability, proving them to be more incompetent and making them make mistakes is also a way.

Blunt doesn't rule out the possibility that Nightow Company is gambling, but losing the bet won't have much of an impact on Nightow Company, since their death quota is already useless.

Even though Dreamwalkers occupy a large number of slots, it is still within Nightow Mining's acceptable range.

If Bai Mu dies in an 'accident,' Night Owl Company won't have to pay the commission fee. However, if Bai Mu hadn't died in an accident and had completed the commission, Night Owl Company wouldn't have lost money either.

Let's just treat this as a normal business transaction.

However, given Bai Mu's status, as long as he doesn't encounter any accidents, people from other companies might be in for a 'trouble'!

Creating an accident is easy; all Night Owl Company needs to do is spread some information.

They certainly won't admit to doing it, but spreading the news doesn't necessarily require them to do it themselves.

"Minister, is it him who brought this problem?"

After Bertrand put down the documents, the assistant asked in a low voice. He already guessed the reason, but he still asked.

"If it's not due to local factors, then it's him. Nightow Mining really found a good person!"

What else could Bertrand say? Night Owl Company hadn't broken any rules. The only thing to do about the sudden mass deaths was to look into the company behind the victims.

As for the collaboration between Nightow Company and White Curtain, Nightow Company isn't stupid; why would it leave such a handle on them?
Even so, Bertrand still arranged for someone to investigate the matter.

Some things may seem impossible, but often opponents and targets are not necessarily that smart.

Without investigation, any related analysis is likely to become wishful thinking or speculation. Only by investigating can the answer be clear.

Anyway, all the relevant investigations follow the rules, and no one dares to say anything even if they are carried out in a high-profile manner!
