Dream Travel

Chapter 338 Don't overthink it!

The next day, Bai Mu got the vehicle he wanted as he wished. Although the motorcycle wasn't as cool as a Harley or other vehicles, it wasn't particularly wasteland-style either.

The reason it appears rugged is simply because of the hell metal.

Bai Mu looked at the motorcycle's engine, and after a while asked the designer, "Won't this thing explode?"

The quality of Hellmetal is believable, but the power of this engine is astonishing.

An engine that could fit into the Universiade is now crashed into what doesn't seem to be a completely heavy motorcycle.

"Don't worry, it definitely won't explode!" the designer said with certainty. "At most, it'll just be a little loud. This is hell, you should be able to tolerate such a minor flaw."

"The loud noise isn't a problem. Okay, I'll give it a try. As long as this thing doesn't blow me up, it'll be fine."

"I'll stake my life on it!"

"Whose head?"

"Ahem, mine." The designer coughed lightly twice: "Remember to come and tell me about your experience after you're done using it."

"Okay." Bai Mu checked the engine's oil cylinders.

This engine doesn't use gasoline as fuel, but rather water from hell and hell rock that serves as fuel.

"Is regular water okay?"

"Ah... ordinary water won't work, but it needs time to heat up. The main part is still Hell Rock."

The designer explained the issue of fuel usage: although ordinary water would be tainted by the hellish power of Hellrock after being poured in, it was still not as good as using water directly from Hell.

However, ordinary water can also be used, at most the engine's output will not reach the limit that Hellrock can drive at the beginning.

"What if I switch to Hellfire Lava?"

“That definitely won’t work.” The designer immediately shook his head: “Water and hellrock are fine, but hellfire will damage the engine.”

"The reason? Never mind, I won't ask." Bai Mu snapped a few photos of the motorcycle.

"Alright, my Wild Hell!" Bai Mu reached out and patted the motorcycle seat, which felt rock hard.

Since this is in hell, don't expect it to be made of any high-quality materials other than metal.

There are basically no rubber parts on the entire vehicle; those parts can't withstand the effects of hellish power.

"Are you really planning to start killing people in hell?" The designer's lips twitched slightly.

"Hopefully this thing will attract more demons—but what about the rust if it's flooded?"

The designer waved his hand and said, "Use it however you want. Please, this is a hell engine made of pure hell metal. What's a little water rust removal? That stuff can't withstand the ravages of hell power."

At this point, the designer hesitated for a moment, then whispered to the white screen, "When designing this thing, besides using normal fuel, we could also try using some abnormal fuels..."

"for example?"

"Demon blood, demon soul, etc. The demon blood has been tested, but the soul is useless because we can't get it. There has been some debate about this."

"Is this something I can hear?" Bai Mu asked the designer with some surprise.

"I'm just telling you in advance about emergency procedures, and also to prevent you from performing any dangerous operations."

For example, regarding the soul, as a hell engine, it can try to burn the souls of demons, but theoretically it can also try to burn normal souls..."

"I understand."

"What do you know? That's a really dangerous operation!"

"But there are always people who deserve to die, aren't there?"

"That's true, but I hope we don't open that door. If we really need an emergency, burning the souls of demons is an option." The designer looked slightly melancholy.

"I'll pay attention."

After finishing his speech, Bai Mu rode away from the camp on his 'Wild Hell', which was fully fueled.

Furthermore, thanks to the designer's adjustments, the weapon case can now be hung directly on one side.

"..." Watching the departing white curtain, the designer's worry seemed to have never appeared. He hummed a little tune and returned to his workspace.

The idea of ​​a hellish engine burning souls is actually feasible.

But there's one thing he didn't mention: the Hell Engine's burning of souls leaves a trace, whether it's the soul of a demon or the soul of a normal being...

As for how they know this, it's because there have been actual tests, though not of this particular engine, but the tests did indeed spark controversy.

If White Curtain really did use the Hell Engine to burn souls, it would be one thing if it burned demon souls, but if it burned non-demon souls, it could be detected by testing afterwards.

The more you burn, the more obvious the marks become.

However, even if it was burning the demon's soul, the matter of burning the soul can be put aside, but a new question arises: how did the White Curtain burn the demon's soul?

The demons in this hell are unkillable, let alone their souls that you can catch and burn.

After leaving the camp, Bai Mu took the Dream Eater Greatsword out of the weapon case and mounted it on the motorcycle, at which point Luxenbra's voice rang out.

"Finally, you can talk. What kind of car is this?"

"You also have a car in real life?"

“Of course there are… but I forgot what kind of car.” Lexenberg hesitated for a moment, then seemed somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Damn it, I have too few memories of the original body. "A motorcycle made of hell metal, very powerful."

Other advantages of this vehicle are probably its durability and sturdiness. It's a hellish vehicle, prioritizing practicality over appearance.

Even though the white screen emphasized the appearance, the modifications made based on the original appearance were limited.

But what impressed Bai Mu the most about this car was its power, and the bumper was also reinforced, no, it should be said that it was strengthened.

Clearly, this car was designed from the outset to be used to run over demons... You can't just run over anything else, right?
"But why this thing? Wouldn't four wheels be better?"

"I don't have enough resources at hand," Bai Mu explained. "So let's consider it again when there's another opportunity."

The resources required to build an off-road vehicle are much higher than those required to build this motorcycle.

The white curtain summoned Luciela, and the awakened one who appeared glanced around and asked, "Where's my sister?"

"We'll talk about your sister later. I'll take you for a drive. Get in the car and hold me tight."

“…Heh.” Luciela glanced at the white curtain and immediately saw through the guy’s thoughts.

Sitting behind Bai Mu, she hugged him tightly with both arms and pressed her body against his back. Then Bai Mu felt her open mouth on her hands.

"Don't talk back!"

Then Octavia was also released, looking at the dark red motorcycle behind the white curtain.

Octavia didn't know what kind of vehicle it was, but she was somewhat competitive in that regard.

The reason was that she had seen Lucyella carrying those hell metals, and because her body size wasn't quite right, she was more suited to be a mount.

But if this position is taken away, Bai Mu might go so far as to make her move heavy objects as well.

Bringing people along is fine, but she can't refuse the task of moving goods and doing hard labor, though she doesn't want to do it.

"Let's race."

“I have no objection.” Octavia immediately reverted to her awakened form, her four hooves lightly pounding the ground, stirring up a few specks of hellish dust. “And the destination?”

"No need for a destination, just run ahead of me."

"understood."

Bai Mu rubbed his hands together and pressed the throttle. This motorcycle was an 'automatic' one; no, it should be said that the gears were different from those of a regular motorcycle.

The gears on this motorcycle directly limit the output of the hell engine.

Zero gear is an unrestricted state, followed by three gears, each limiting the engine's power by 25%.

The form of restriction is quite simple and crude, but it works, right... well, considering the power of this engine.

Even the highest three levels of restrictions are not something that ordinary people can handle.

Of course, Bai Mu doesn't consider gear restrictions when using this car; he can directly use unlimited gears.

Octavia had just started running when the roar of the huge engine behind her startled her; the roar sounded like the howl of a demon.

Before she could even turn around, a dark red shadow passed by her, the powerful airflow it carried causing Octavia to squint her eyes slightly and begin to accelerate her sprint.

Her awakened form is in the shape of a horse, making her the most adept at long-distance movement among awakened beings.

It shouldn't be like this... It seems like we can't catch up!
Octavia was already running at full speed, but the distance between her and the white curtain had not yet widened significantly.

Instead, they've drifted further and further apart.

After running for a while, Octavia gave up.

Four-legged creatures can't outrun two-wheeled ones. Are modern tools really that powerful?

No, the problem wasn't the modern vehicles, but rather the problem with the car Bai Mu was riding.

After Octavia slowed down, the White Curtain also slowed down.

Lucyella, who was tightly hugging the white curtain, scratched his chest in annoyance: "Don't stop, keep going!"

How long did this extreme speed sprint last? The white curtain slowed down, much to Lucyella's dissatisfaction, as she hadn't had her fill of enjoyment yet.

"We're about to lose everyone." Bai Mu turned around and saw Octavia, who had arrived late.

The speed of the awakened ones is already very fast.

But the car's speed is undeniable; the Hell Engine is no ordinary engine, so it's normal for it to run fast.

The most technologically advanced part of this motorcycle right now is probably the dashboard.
Well, as long as it works, that's fine.

The previous attempt didn't consume much fuel, which means the fuel added by the camp is of high quality. However, he will have to rely on himself to replenish the fuel later.

They either get them from supply depots or they obtain them themselves.

The designer explained this in great detail: ordinary hellrock cannot be used as fuel; it needs to be dark enough. The best fuel is refined hellrock.

There's really no other way. It's just like the designer said: use demon blood or demon soul as a temporary solution.

"Speaking of... the soul of a demon..."

"What are you trying to do? Don't get any ideas!" Lexenberg immediately became alert: "I'm currently in a spiritual state, which is somewhat different from a soul state. Don't try anything with me!"

He was genuinely afraid that Bai Mu might impulsively stuff him into the engine and burn him as fuel.
