Dream Travel

Chapter 336 Someone actually wants to order a custom order?
"This is all we can do."

A group of exhausted demons panted heavily, having expended a great deal of magic power in their efforts to quickly refine the hellish metal.

After refining, the amount of these hell metals was reduced by nearly a quarter, and the unrefined hell metals were mixed with a large amount of hell rock.

"Alright, not bad either." Bai Mu picked up a piece of hell metal and looked at it.

After being refined, these metals were shaped into irregular blocks, rather than a large pile of scattered metal.

They have become more portable.

Not only that, during this period of refinement, Lexenbra also 'learned' a bit, mastering how these demons used them.

The method wasn't difficult. Although Lexenberg understood why these demons saw him as an idiot, it didn't change his desire to kill them.

"They're useless now, kill them."

Luxenbra spoke in a sinister tone, startling the demons who had just finished their work.

This fellow human may be mentally challenged, but he's really ruthless.

"No other demons are coming here, let's ignore them." Bai Mu waved his hand. If this were reality, these demons would definitely be dead.

But this is hell, the domain of demons, and he still intends to keep his word; these demons pose no threat to him.

The demons who escaped have already tipped off the others, and those who remained... well, they probably won't fare too well either.

After all, in a cruel place like Hell, the chances of a captured demon surviving are not high, but they did survive. Isn't that a problem?
"You're overthinking it." On the way, listening to Bai Mu's thoughts, Lexenberg snorted: "Killing them directly is the best outcome."

"Definitely next time."

Where the white curtain had left, the demons left behind looked at each other in bewilderment: "He really kept his word? Could he be a devil in human skin?"

“...Even devils wouldn’t do that; they’d just make a whole bunch of demands first.” Another demon shook his head and went straight to take a bath in the lava.

The hellfire lava is imbued with hellish power, which helps them recover from their injuries faster.

Although the improvement is not significant, it can provide some help and also speed up their strength recovery.

The white curtain spared them, but these demons didn't think of being grateful. Please, this is hell; gratitude is a very luxurious thing.

Occasionally, some demons may have abnormal thoughts due to their irrational thinking, but most demons do not.

After receiving a new signal, Bai Mu contacted a nearby supply station: "I have a batch of refined hell metal here, about two or three tons."

"So many? We might not be able to handle them all. You'd better go to a nearby camp. Do you need us to arrange a convoy to support you?"

"No need, just tell me the location." Bai Mu glanced at the metal that Luciela was carrying.

The benefits of refining these metals became apparent; he didn't even need to ask where the camp was located, the people at the supply depot would tell him on their own.

As they approached the human camp, White Curtain immediately dispelled the Phantom Summoning and, amidst Luxembla's discontented grumbling, put the weapon back in its case.

He carried a weapons case on his back and dragged a pile of metal in one hand as he walked toward the camp.

In the past, this would have been unthinkable, but now that the white curtain is in place, these issues aren't a big problem.

Once the guards at the camp could observe the white curtain, the camp immediately took action, and a vehicle drove over.

This vehicle is also made of hell metal. There's not much to say about its appearance; it's a vehicle primarily focused on practicality.

"Are you alone?" The driver sized up Bai Mu, and the people standing in the car became even more wary of him.

"That's quite rare, isn't it?"

"It's unusually rare, not to mention the refined metals." The driver glanced at the hellish metals being towed by the white curtain.

He looked somewhat surprised: "You see it's been processed? How did you do that?"

On the human side, refined hellfire metal is even rarer, mainly because demons are too easy to encounter in those lava rivers.

Campsites and similar places are not suitable for being established in those locations, otherwise they will be harassed by demons every day.

Moreover, the place they are in is the starting point of the Dream Source, which is currently in the demon camp.

Being too conspicuous, the demon lord of the starting point came and wiped them out.

The reason why a large number of demons were not sent here to clean up was that the demon lords also had their own ideas.

"Simple, just capture some demons and make them work."

The driver paused for a moment, then said, "That's simple. Get in the car."

Bai Mu kicked the Hellmetal on the ground, using the force of the kick to move it onto the back of the truck, and then jumped on as well.

The driver glanced at the long drag mark left on the ground and gave a wink to the person next to him.

One of the soldiers standing in the vehicle immediately got off and traced the drag marks to investigate.

However, he didn't run too far. After confirming the tracks four kilometers away, he turned back.

We could investigate further, but searching this far is sufficient.

If this is a premeditated conspiracy, they can withstand it given the capabilities of the camp.

If it's a normal transaction, then the camp really made a profit.

No less than two tons of hellish metal, refined and ready to be used directly, saving a lot of effort.

"66642?" The camp leader looked surprised after confirming Bai Mu's communicator number. He carefully examined Bai Mu, then nodded: "What do you need?"

"A custom vehicle... Do you have a list of the other items?"

"Of course there are." The person in charge nodded and led Bai Mu into a tent.

These tents are also made of hellrock, and after proper treatment, they can absorb and isolate the influence of hellish power.

The person in charge handed a list to Bai Mu, who then carefully read it.

They have guns and bullets, but there are two types of ammunition: the first type is mixed with a small amount of hell metal, and the second type is made purely of hell metal.

The price difference between the two types of ammunition is fifty times.

Even Bai Mu was speechless. A fifty-fold difference! That means the cost of making one Hell Bullet could produce at least fifty bullets mixed with Hell Metal.

As for the weapons, they seem pretty normal.

There are two types of guns made entirely of hell metal. The first type seems relatively inexpensive, but once you learn more about it, you'll understand why.

These types of hellfire weapons are made of hellfire metal that has not yet been adapted to the Dream Erosion.

Simply put, the raw materials have never been taken out of reality. The weapons made from them can be used without problems in the alternate dream world. Whether they can be taken out after use depends on individual luck.

The most expensive Hellfire weapons are designed for use with Dream Erosion.

Because these types of firearms are made from raw materials brought out of Hell, even if they are brought back to this alternate dream, they can be taken out at will.

The difference between the two weapons is more than a hundredfold. In other words, to exchange for a regular Hellfire weapon, you would need at least a hundred times more Hellfire Metal to get the special edition.

"It looks incredibly profitable," Bai Mu remarked, looking at the huge price difference.

"...This is just for show." The person in charge had a tense face. Bai Mu wasn't the only lone wolf; this part wasn't on the list before.

But then the lone traveler kept asking questions, so we just added it.

If there are lone wolves willing to be taken advantage of, they wouldn't mind earning this resource.

However, the items on this list aren't exactly overpriced. When taking these items out, you risk being eroded by dream erosion, and even with proper protection, you can easily get hurt.

Therefore, it's normal for weapons that can be freely brought out of the Otherworld to be more expensive.

In a battle like this, the consumption of Hellmetal was to be mined and used on-site; don't even think about taking it all back.

As for the high cost of ammunition, that also involves materials from hell.

Ordinary ammunition is not that complicated to produce. The gunpowder can be made by simply bringing out the raw materials and mixing them with high-quality hellrock powder.

Those special munitions need to be manufactured in reality, as the technology here in Hell is insufficient.

"Grenade launchers, rocket launchers... um, I want them all."

"Can you handle all of these?" The person in charge shouldn't have asked this question, given the weapons Bai Mu had selected, but Bai Mu acted as if he had never seen these weapons before.

The equipment he wanted was so much that even four hands wouldn't be enough for Bai Mu to use!

"Let's talk about whether the hell metal I brought is enough to exchange for."

"Of course there's enough to exchange. Although the refinement level is a bit lacking, the quantity is large." The person in charge nodded.

Refined metals are more valuable. For equipment like ammunition, unless it's a special edition, the exchange ratio is 2:1.

The hell metal brought by Bai Mu was more than enough to exchange for these things.

In addition to the White Curtain and the authorization certificate from the Bureau, although there is no corresponding share in terms of weapon resources, he can increase the exchange ratio to 1.5:1.
The camp essentially only charged a production fee.

Not only that, White Curtain had also contacted a supply depot beforehand, leaving a large amount of high-quality Hellrock there.

Some of the Hellrock was also delivered to a nearby camp, but the supply station was quite far away, so the Hellrock being delivered had nothing to do with them.

However, there is communication between each camp. After confirming the communicator number of the White Curtain, the person in charge knows the 'contribution' made by the White Curtain.

"Are you planning to attack the demon camp?"

"Actually, I want to find the source of the strange dreams."

"..." The person in charge's eyes twitched slightly. They also wanted to find the source of the dream, but the environment where the dream source was located was very safe.

Moreover, as the starting point of the Dream Source, this place receives a natural boost to the Dream Source.

While this boost isn't absolute, it significantly increases the difficulty of killing the Source of Another Dream.

"Don't even think about getting this much equipment; it won't even be enough to handle a powerful demon," the person in charge reminded Bai Mu.

The heavy weapons that White Curtain selected are more than enough to deal with ordinary demons, but when dealing with powerful demons, a team is needed to work together.

Since White Curtain was able to collect so much hell metal, his combat strength is beyond doubt.

The problem is that Bai Mu is thinking of dealing with Yi Meng Yuan...

What's the point of having this little bit of equipment? Bai Mu thought that replacing it with a man-portable nuclear warhead would be more reliable.

The equipment he exchanged was practically a fireworks display in the Demon Lord's territory.

"I just wanted to test the quality of the hellish weapon."

“…Alright then.” The person in charge said nothing more, since Bai Mu had the corresponding identity and the corresponding abilities.

That means you can smuggle these items, as long as you don't smuggle them to the demons.

However, this batch of equipment wasn't much, so it wouldn't matter much if the demon got it.

If they were to find other lone travelers to smuggle goods, that would be considered a skill of the White Curtain. As long as those lone travelers could gain more resources as a result, it wouldn't be a loss for the camp.

Moreover, these weapons all have built-in serial numbers, so if anything serious happens, the source can be traced back.

Unless the White Curtain dies.

"What about customized transportation?"

"Hehehe, this needs to be discussed properly." The person in charge laughed.

Customization... They don't rule out customization, because that's more expensive.

People in the military certainly wouldn't think about this kind of thing, but lone wolves who are thinking about long-term development are different.

They customized the corresponding vehicles or weapons in order to deal with more demons.

Although the military doesn't particularly like lone wolves, they... no, at least they're quite happy to see capable lone wolves like this.

What kind of vehicle would you like to customize?

"SUV?"

"...At most motorcycles." The person in charge readily admitted the exorbitant demands made by Bai Mu.

Do you really think customization is simple?

Although the materials used and the comparison brought back by the white screen show that motorcycles don't consume too much metal, parts like the engine require more than just metal.

If Bai Mu didn't have the corresponding status, the hell metal he brought back wouldn't have been enough.

"As long as it's not a bicycle, it's fine."

"Oh, you can have a tricycle if you want." The person in charge took out a few general design drawings: "Take a look at them yourself first. If there are any modifications you need, ask the designer. Once you decide, you can't change it."

“Okay.” Bai Mu found the engineer, a middle-aged man with rough skin, under the guidance of the person in charge.

The other person was wearing goggles and looked somewhat resigned to death.

The designer merely gave a casual greeting to the arrival of the white curtain, then stared blankly at a canvas.

"I want to customize a car."

"Huh? Someone actually wants to customize something?" After learning Bai Mu's purpose, the designer was stunned, then rubbed his face: "Tell me your needs first."

"You're not happy even though you have business?"

The designer quickly shook his head: "I'm just surprised. Why would you do something so flashy and impractical in hell?"

That's a very honest person.
