Dream Travel

Chapter 317: It's precisely because of safety that the effect seems poor.

The breakthrough happened four days ago, and Bai Mu left on the fourth day. Before leaving, he didn't forget to speed up and clear out the dangerous species that could be cleared on the map.

He left, but the female assassins who had reunited did not immediately separate.

These past few days have been like a special camping training exercise for them, not only intense but also quite challenging for some.

Of course, there are also those with a calm personality who don't feel much, such as Seele in the team. In her opinion, the war is over, and she can just pursue her hobbies in her daily life.

This whole thing was just me accompanying a friend out for fun.

Even though Esdeath has demonstrated extraordinary combat power, the Revolutionary Army no longer needs to worry about such a threat.

However, this is very difficult for competitive people.

But what they were most curious about was Bai Mu's behavior.

He seemed to have come here specifically for adventure, though it was the right thing to do for Esdeath to develop new secret techniques.

But after finishing the important business, Bai Mu didn't forget to clear the information about dangerous species from the map.

It was as if they had received some special mission.

Chelsea made a new record of this.

Leone, however, didn't seem to care much: "Why bother? Just wait for him to come back with good news next time."

“You’re a house cat now,” Chelsea said, putting down her notebook.

Leone casually replied, "I like it this way."

"Then let's wait until he comes back next time."

Chelsea sighed softly. It was hard to keep a secret, even though Rota had given her some information, it wasn't comprehensive enough.

Everything depends on when the white curtain returns next time.

However, what worried Chelsea was what Bai Mu had said before: he had encountered trouble in another place and came here partly to 'visit relatives' and partly to improve his combat strength.

Judging from those photos, White Curtain seems quite keen on solving problems in certain places, whether out of hobby or for other reasons.

People who enjoy helping others solve problems often encounter more dangers.

What Bai Mu said before the curtain fell was more like a pre-announcement: if he could come back, then all would be well; if he didn't come back, then he probably really wouldn't be able to.

It would be such a spoilsport to talk about this.

As usual, Bai Mu, embarking on his journey home, first returned to the Dream Branch of the Rota Processing Bureau.

This time, however, he looked at the huge box in front of him, scratched his head, and asked the staff member next to him, "Isn't this a bit too much?"

Normally it's just a small crate, but this crate is two meters tall, even taller than him!

"I need your help urgently! Those Dream Walkers are all useless; their success rate in bringing back the finished products is extremely low."

The logistics manager of the Yimeng branch looked helpless. If all their Dreamwalkers were as reliable as Bai Mu, there wouldn't be so much stuff piling up.

Ordinary items are fine for those dream walkers to deliver, but as they explore and develop this alternate dream to clear the level, they discover many important and valuable things.

These items were initially taken out, but due to their high quality, the success rate of the finished products taken out was very low.

The logistics manager at headquarters was so angry he was cursing, while the logistics manager at the branch office wanted to start a fight remotely.

Everyone knows what those things in the strange dream are.

Even the Dream Walker wasn't absolutely certain he could take some things out with him.

Even the rarest and most valuable items need to be widely available in the alternate dream world to be fully utilized in reality.

"...Is there anything else?"

"Hmm, that's all. Oh, right!" Bai Mu didn't bring up any other conditions, which made the branch's logistics manager a little embarrassed.

He wouldn't feel embarrassed with others, but Bai Mu is a special case.

“The assassins you know have been reassigned recently. I can use some of my authority to have them transferred to New City.”

"What happened?" Bai Mu hadn't heard Chelsea and the others mention anything about it.

“They are foreign peoples. When the empire was suppressing them, some of them were willing to cooperate. But now that the empire has fallen, they want to become the new empire.”

The logistics supervisor chuckled and explained that many of those foreign ethnic groups cooperated with the revolutionary army not for a greater ideal.

Instead, after seeing the comfortable lives of the imperial nobles, they longed to take their place.

After winning the battle, they discovered that things hadn't gone as planned; Alexei was not the leader they had expected, and the men couldn't stay quiet.

However, faced with a more modern bureaucracy, their ulterior motives were quickly exposed.

The Bureau of Investigation has discovered that a group of alien races have secretly joined forces and are planning an assassination attempt to kill Alexei.

Whatever new leader is introduced next, as long as he doesn't resemble Alexei, it's fine.

"So, are they considered laid-off workers seeking re-employment?"

“Once this matter is resolved, they can all stay in the new city, and it will be easier for you to come and meet them.”

"Aren't you just using an existing favor to do someone a favor? That's not fair."

The logistics supervisor smiled and shook his head: "It's not just that. Dealing with the alien races isn't just for now; they won't need to be sent on overseas missions anymore." "That's alright..."

"And also—" the logistics manager smiled subtly at Bai Mu, "Didn't you want to take them with you? I can help mobilize some resources to increase their Dream Erosion adaptability."

The logistics supervisor patted the large box next to him and said, "Although the effect won't be very good, it's still better than proceeding normally, right?"

"Using the same methods you use to deal with these dream-eroded items? Is that safe?" When the other party touched on what she cared about most, Bai Mu didn't react much, or rather, she was concealing her true intentions.

"If it's unsafe, how could the effect be not good?"

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

"So you'll do it again next time?"

"I can have more, but only once."

The logistics manager immediately agreed, saying that one trip would be enough. This meant that he could prepare in advance and get all the important items ready so that they could be sent away in one go.

The amount of work that Bai Mu sent this time is equivalent to half a year's worth of work by that bunch of useless people.

Moreover, some things are so precious that it may not be possible to find a substitute within half a year in the Otherworld, so this promise from the White Curtain is very important.

This time, when he returns, even the logistics staff at headquarters will have to call him "Dad."

Bai Mu left with the large box. The logistics supervisor inspected the traces of dream erosion at the scene and breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that they were within the normal range.

In any case, this test has revealed the new limits of the white screen, making it easier to perform the same operation next time.

As for the things he mentioned, they are indeed about to happen.

The authorities could have handled this in advance, but isn't this just a trap?

If we don't let them take the initiative, how can we find a better reason to act?

After Alexei learned of this, he was willing to use himself as bait. Although it was somewhat risky, the way to completely eliminate the risk was to prevent future troubles.

It's not that they think the alien race is incompetent, but rather that the alien race itself couldn't help but cause trouble first. As for the alien race's construction issues...

The new nation is indeed under construction, but those people want more. They want more than just construction; they want the extravagant lifestyle of the empire's high-ranking officials.

Alexei had no liking for these kinds of people. He could understand if they wanted to enjoy themselves, but he didn't like the idea of ​​emulating the high-ranking officials of the Empire.
This is a path to certain death.

Let more professional assassins deal with the assassins, and in this regard, the people who launched the attack the night before are indispensable.

Brand is an instructor in the army because of his Imperial Arms, while Alexei is heartless enough not to continue exploiting the meritorious soldiers who are no longer able to fight.

Brand has already been corrupted by the Teigu, so continuing to fight will have a significant impact on her, while the others are not greatly affected.

After Bai Mu returned to the Rota City Bureau of Justice, the logistics department personnel were notified and rushed over.

When Bai Mu brought back such a large box, the people in charge of monitoring notified them, and they knew there was a big shipment coming.

Before those people arrived, Bai Mu had already prepared the Dream Erosion Crystals.

This time, 16 Dream Erosion Crystals were generated, which is more than ten fewer than the previous harvest.

Bai Mu could understand this; his gains this time were more about eliminating dangerous species.

In terms of influence, it refers to the impact on the construction of the new nation outside the main storyline, which is a secondary part, so a smaller impact is acceptable.

However, the White Curtain further clarified the rules for obtaining Dream Erosion Crystals. Although it's not advisable to farm too many at once, based on the acquisition situation...

Entering a different dream once and obtaining about fifteen Dream Erosion Crystals would be ideal.

Once a month, almost two hundred a year, that should be enough to elevate the Dream Erosion item to a second level, right?

In terms of normal upgrades, how many of the many Dream Erosion items in reality have undergone a second sublimation?

It would take them a long time just to accumulate this high-quality dream-eroded crystal.

"Here's the list. If there are any problems, have Borei contact me later." After leaving the list, Bai Mu quickly left the processing bureau.

He was busy killing the primordial demon, and the time when the other party would cause him trouble was uncertain, but Bai Mu clearly did not intend to let the other party take the initiative to cause trouble.

Instead of going home, he went straight to the craftsman's house. Before he could even knock, the craftsman opened the door.

"Were you standing at the door listening to what was happening outside the whole time?"

“I’m not that bored.” The craftsman glanced at the weapon case in the white curtain. “Did you get what you were talking about?”

"Of course, you can take a look first."

"Come inside." The craftsman made way for Bai Mu to enter the house, and then he unceremoniously emptied the contents of the weapon box.

He picked up a knife that was placed inside.

After pulling it out, he flicked it with his finger: "The sharpness is good, but the strength is a bit lacking."

"This is an Imperial Arms from that world..."

"So what? No matter how noble the name, it's just a pile of scrap metal once it's destroyed."

The craftsman inspected the weapon's condition, removing the scabbard and hilt, leaving only the blade: "This part is the main body... Hmm, not bad."
