Dream Travel

Chapter 272 You Only Have Numbers

"The resulting deviation prevents their souls from returning to their bodies normally, so I need to prepare soul stones to preserve them."

Beatrice calmly said, "I infused the souls of Chito and Yuri into the soul stone of the earring."

The object specifically designed to hold souls easily contained their respective souls.

Then, through the connection between the earrings and the body, a new interaction is created with the body.

They opened their eyes, but had not yet regained consciousness.

Beatrice breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had studied her professional knowledge very diligently in order to survive for a long time.

The alchemist whose soul research data she harvested was quite capable.

That's right, her knowledge of the soul came from other people in the field. If she wanted to learn this kind of knowledge normally, who knows how her peers would try to take advantage of her.

In exchange for the technology she possesses?
If the other party has a need, then the exchange is fine. But when you need something from someone, then it's not an equal exchange.

When the other party has a need and tries to exchange knowledge with her, Beatrice will make exorbitant demands.

Take all the offers you can get first, and if the other party is unwilling, then negotiate slowly. Once you reach a certain point, stick to your guns and don't budge.

If she's like this herself, how good can the colleagues she find be? Nobody's a good person; nobody's going to take care of anyone else.

So she acquired the knowledge she wanted in another way, and many of her peers wanted to use the same method on her, but they failed while she succeeded.

"So it's still the same old story." Bai Mu looked at the two girls who were still unconscious, somewhat disappointed.

What he wanted was the kind of resurrection that could be done without damage, not something like a soulstone that could maintain his 'survival' state.

Even now, they are practically alive; their hearts have resumed beating, their bodily functions are working normally, and they can eat and drink without any problems.

However, their bodies and souls are not in sync. As soon as the connection between the earrings and them is severed, they will immediately become 'vegetative state'.

“This is the inevitable result of Dream Erosion. Even so, you are still very powerful.” Beatrice glanced at the white curtain.

The hardest part is not the resurrection itself, but how to bring the living body back safely.

The subsequent mismatch between the soul and body was a minor issue, because the body was in excellent condition and did not require much follow-up processing or transformation.

If you don't need to consider how it will enhance your soul in the future, you can have it implanted into your body.

They don't take up much space anyway, and this is enough for them to live to a ripe old age in this world.

These two are just ordinary people after all, and as for their level of education, don't expect them to learn anything profound.

Even Beatrice herself only came into contact with alchemy because she was a wealthy woman more than a hundred years ago.

That kind of thing is not something that poor people can afford.

"You can definitely try doing this kind of business now, you can absolutely make a fortune."

"I don't need that little bit of money." Bai Mu wasn't very interested in Beatrice's suggestion; he was already financially independent, for goodness' sake.

Although he can't compare to those capitalists, as a person living a normal life, his existing funds are enough to support him in doing most things.

Therefore, White Curtain was genuinely uninterested in Beatrice's proposal.

"But people who are short of money will target you, and once others find out what you've done so easily, you'll run into more trouble."

Seeing Bai Mu's ungrateful reply, Atrist breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely advised him, "You are capable enough on your own. You can maintain a chain of interests through your talent, and many troubles will be unable to find you."

Just like her, the bosses who had received her life extension services would take care of things that were convenient for them when they encountered matters related to her.

After all, it was in their interest for her to be alive. Life extension is not permanent, and after enjoying her services once, they had built trust with each other.

Without a more reliable alternative, her former bosses certainly wouldn't want anything to happen to her.

The bosses might not interfere with things that are too troublesome, but they will handle things that can be easily resolved.

It's just a matter of a phone call and one or two small orders.

The things they handle can save Beatrice a lot of trouble.

This is still the reason why her service intervals are long. What Bai Mu is doing now is to become a longer-term business that can be needed at any time.

In this way, those who have a cooperative relationship with him will naturally not watch him run into trouble every day.

If Bai Mu's tea ceremony skills are superb, and he can better keep those collaborators hooked, then he will encounter fewer troubles in the future.

Faced with Beatrice's earnest suggestion, the White Curtain's answer was simple—

"Don't do it!"

"You are courting death!!"

“I have my own plans for the future.” Bai Mu looked at Beatrice’s annoyed expression with a firm attitude.

Beatrice took a deep breath, suppressing her overwhelming urge to break down. She wanted Bai Mu to live a better life, to live well, but this guy must have something wrong with his head!
"Your so-called future plan is just to keep finding new alternate dreams?" "Yes, I can only become stronger with alternate dreams. Look, I've become twice as strong now." Bai Mu clenched his fist. Looking at his strong fist, Beatrice fell silent.

"You're not kidding?"

She really didn't know Bai Mu had such abilities!

"What's the benefit of lying to you?"

Beatrice was speechless for a moment. After briefly gathering her thoughts, she said, "I... this should be your secret, right?"

"Do you have a chance to tell anyone? If someone can take this box, then my situation isn't much better."

Beatrice was speechless. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Then, then it's indeed unnecessary to expose your specialness."

Knowing the secret of the White Curtain made Beatrice quite happy, but what made her unhappy was that this secret would make it even harder for her to get rid of the White Curtain.

But if Bai Mu can keep getting stronger, her safety will improve, and he really can become very powerful, so why should she get rid of Bai Mu?

Others can't even find an opportunity to come to him yet.

"But can you please stop causing trouble right now?" Beatrice asked White Curtain about something else.

Bai Mu knew the reason why there were so few strong people among humans in reality, but Beatrice couldn't help but emphasize it again.

If Bai Mu continues to cause trouble, things could easily get out of hand.

In reality, there are humans who can live a long time, and there are alchemists like her who have mastered a special skill, but there are not many human strongmen who are particularly powerful and can even change many things on their own.

They have no chance to grow. If they do, most of them are people who came out of other dreams and belong to other dream worlds.

These dream humans were very strong from the start, so the dream forces in reality couldn't directly erase them, but the chances of them meeting an accident are not low.

More importantly, those dream humans cannot participate in other dream exploration activities.

No, it's not that it's impossible, it's just that once you participate, it's a one-time event.

Either they stay in the alternate dream and don't come back, or they come back and are immediately eliminated.

If Bai Mu displays too much genius, the otherworldly forces in reality will definitely target him.

Beatrice lived for over a hundred years. The first twenty years can be skipped, but in the remaining eighty years, she experienced far too many things.

She even helped the devil dispose of the skull of a human genius...

"Speaking of which, there must be quite a few extraordinary individuals among humans, right?" Bai Mu thought of this.

"Superhumans? Heh, you've killed quite a few superhumans, haven't you? Those were just superhumans who possessed special powers and couldn't even trigger the city's defense protocols. What threat could they pose?"

Beatrice sneered, her words surprising Bai Mu: "The city defense agreement is a kind of screening?"

"Of course, there is a screening process. Anyone who can trigger the city defense agreement must be registered if they want to move around in the city. After registration, the person will be known to the authorities."

Bai Mu thought of real-name authentication, but this real-name authentication is a different case.

She also has real-name authentication in Rota City, but her authentication is a life authentication, not a combat power authentication.

City defense agreements fall into the latter category. Once the relevant registration and certification are completed, malicious individuals can use this certification to accurately determine the strength of those individuals.

"How high is the trigger threshold for the city defense protocol?" Bai Mu was a little curious about this. He had become stronger again, but it seemed that he had not yet reached the level to trigger the city defense protocol.

“With your strength, you should be able to trigger it…” Beatrice herself looked at the white curtain with some doubt. The problem was that the white curtain did not seem to have triggered the city defense agreement.

If it had been triggered, this guy would have been investigated long ago.

“That’s right, perhaps that’s the case.” Beatrice thought of something, her eyes fixed intently on the white screen: “Although you are a superhuman, you belong to the basic type of superhuman!”

She realized the reason: although the white curtain could unleash attacks like light cannons, those attacks were all achieved with the help of equipment.

The equipment transformed his mental energy, enabling him to unleash such an attack.

In reality, Bai Mu himself doesn't possess any substantial special energy, and the 'demonic energy' he controls cannot be released externally and is extremely closely related to his body.

Atris is skilled in life alchemy. She has not studied Bai Mu's demonic energy in detail, but based on Bai Mu's fragmented descriptions, she can analyze the type of that power.

It's called demonic energy, but it's actually a variant of life force.

When Bai Mu's vitality is strong, her demonic energy will also increase; when her vitality is weak, her demonic energy will definitely decrease.

So far, White Curtain is still a semi-blank superhuman, lacking a blue bar and only having basic stats.

While most superhumans can improve their physical foundation, once they reach a certain level, they inevitably need special powers to enhance their abilities; otherwise, they will be weaker than others.

Such extraordinary individuals would naturally violate city defense agreements.
