Dream Travel

Chapter 406 I’ll give it to you

He is on the whitelist of the city defense agreement, and the White Curtain can be on it. At the same time, he is an important figure in dealing with the Otherworldly Hell.

Simply putting him on the whitelist isn't enough; the processing bureau can also apply for a Maple Crown Medal for Bai Mu.

After the establishment of the Maple Crown Republic, very few of those items were issued, and only those who made significant contributions could obtain them.

For example, the person who provided the portrait of Yimenglai on the small denomination banknotes.

The importance of that kind of thing can no longer be measured in money.

With this thing in existence, if something goes wrong somewhere, the local management will be purged from top to bottom.

"The Maple Crown Medal... isn't that a bit outrageous? Chief, do you want him dead?" Borei said with deep concern.

The Maple Crown Medal is fantastic. If Bai Mu gets it, it means his achievements will be recognized, and recognition requires public recognition.

Real people will know that he and many others thwarted the devils' plot and prevented a crisis that would have added another hell to reality.

However, for those who come from other dreams, those who are unfriendly to humans have an extremely high level of hostility towards the White Curtain.

“Once he gets that thing, it will be even more logical for him to become the gravedigger of the Dream Graveyard,” Oscar explained.

But he then added, "The premise is that he really did those things in the Hellish Dream—I have to go on a business trip, so you can temporarily take over as director."

"Where's the deputy director?" Borei was slightly taken aback. Was he waiting for him here?

"The deputy director is going on a business trip with me!"

Oscar didn't give Borei much of a chance to refute this time. He took a plane overnight to the city where he was transferring, and then flew all the way to the capital of the Maple Crown Republic.

After leaving the processing bureau, Bai Mu went to the farmers' market and bought a small cart full of ingredients.

The vendors at the market were very enthusiastic in asking Bai Mu if he wanted home delivery.

"No need, I can take it back myself." Bai Mu patted the small cart he had bought in advance, which was full of food, mostly meat.

He's been eating coarse food and wild vegetables in hell and the desert every day. When he comes back, he'll have to have a few good meals.

In the city on the other side of the desert kingdom, he only earned money for train tickets.

The lack of internet access in this world means that even with his considerable wealth, he can't easily spend his money there.

Not long after Bai Mu returned home, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Who could possibly come here?" Lily asked Bai Mu from outside the door. "You have so few friends."

"You say you have a lot of friends... You really do have a lot of friends?" Bai Mu opened the door; it wasn't time for the appointment yet.

Lily placed the car keys on the table, then lazily lay on her side on the sofa, picking up a book and starting to read.

This feels like coming home.

"You don't live here every day while I'm away, do you?"

“I come by every few days,” Lily explained with a smile, then continued, “I wanted to come and check on you first, since you weren’t home, so I waited for you to come back, but you came back quite early.”

"Nothing happened. You've come at the right time. Let's cook together."

Bai Mu went to the kitchen after speaking.

Lily, who had followed, looked at the pile of food and said, "Now you're just eating to satisfy your taste buds, aren't you?"

"It won't stop me from eating," Bai Mu said without looking up as he processed the ingredients.

He really wanted to eat and drink well.

The seasonings alone from the ingredients they bought were enough to make someone feel extremely weak the next day, while Bai Mu had high expectations for the food to come.

As for whether Lily can eat it... he still has two cartons of eggs in the kitchen. If she can't eat spicy food, he'll make her a steamed egg custard later.

Bai Mu processed the ingredients very quickly, but Lily couldn't stand it anymore; Bai Mu's processing of the ingredients was too simple and crude.

Some are edible, but they certainly won't taste very good.

"Go wash the vegetables," Lily shooed Bai Mu away. "You actually know how to do this?" Bai Mu was quite surprised.

"Have you forgotten the strange ingredients we ate before?"

"It's yours now." Bai Mu readily gave up his seat.

He could have prepared the ingredients in the shortest amount of time, but because of Lily's presence, he didn't get to eat until it was almost dark.

They have everything: barbecue and hot pot.

As for the smoke problem, he has an alchemist in his family, so it's not an issue at all.

He could even release the fragments of Luxembla directly.

However, Rota City now has a city defense agreement, and releasing the fragments of Luxembla will directly trigger the city defense agreement.

"You cook the food first, I'll organize some things for you." Bai Mu said, taking out his laptop and starting to work on the data inside.

This contains a vast amount of demonic knowledge, provided by an unnamed demon. After the unnamed demon was consumed by the fragments of Luxembra, that knowledge became theirs.

"Demon knowledge, a new category of demonic script, very valuable."

"Here you go." Bai Mu pushed the laptop over.

Lily paused for a moment, then laughed and snorted, "The source of this demonic knowledge must be a very powerful demon. Any demon in reality would pay a great price to obtain it. Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

"Anyway, I don't understand it or know how to use it, so I'll just give it to you."

"Looks like I'll be staying tonight."

"Really?"

"Otherwise, how could I stay up all night to help you solve all your problems? Not including physical problems, though."

"Then you might as well not say anything." Bai Mu was greatly disappointed. Since things had come to this, he might as well eat first and talk later.

The bright red chili oil in the hot pot was so tempting that Bai Mu couldn't resist just looking at it.

While Lily was eating in the white tent, she thoughtfully cooked for him, only occasionally tasting a bite or two herself.

But it seemed to have been spicy, as her little mouth turned bright red.

Bai Mu's meal lasted until almost 11 o'clock.

He devoured all the ingredients he bought from the market. He didn't feel very full, but Bai Mu was thoroughly satisfied with his meal.

After satisfying his appetite, Bai Mu felt that the hardships he had endured in the desert and hell were nothing.

There was even a strong feeling that I wouldn't mind going through those tough times again.

After Lily finished cleaning up the dishes, Bai Mu, who had recovered from his lazy state, said, "I found that the demonic script is quite useful, it's just that you gave me a little less last time."

"Heh~ Demon knowledge is useful, but don't get too addicted," Lily said with a light laugh.

"The key point is that it's easy to use." Bai Mu pulled the weapon case against the sofa over and pulled out a bunch of things from it: "Look at what I got this time."

“You’ve got something amazing.” Among the pile of things, the first thing Lily noticed was the black stone that Bai Mu had taken out.

The chaotic patterns on the black stone appeared to her as fragments of unformed demonic script.

Those fragments correspond to the radicals of normal characters, and when they are formed, they become demonic script.

This thing is closely related to the White Curtain. Lily can see that the reason why the demonic text fragments on it cannot take shape is because the White Curtain is not a demon, nor does it have a demon's real name.

"Do you know what this is?" Bai Mu tossed the black stone in his hand, preventing it from falling to the ground.

He still vividly remembers what happened after this thing landed last time.

A small-scale hell suddenly appeared in Rota City. Will the city's defense agreement be blown up?

In the city, it's best to be cautious about carrying this kind of thing.
