Dream Travel

Chapter 417 is the same

"Why don't you just seize the throne?" Bai Mu suggested to Bo Lei.

Borre's expression was somewhat fierce: "Am I overeating? This position is demanding and tiring. I might as well continue doing fieldwork in my current position."

"That's true. Alright, I'm going to the next dream. I still have to save the world after that."

"...Wait, explain this to me clearly. What do you mean by saving the world?"

Borre became serious.

"To get revenge on those demons! They almost killed me, how can I let them get away with this?"

Borei's lips twitched slightly as he wrote a note to Bai Mu: "Okay, go ahead and do it. How long this time?"

"Ten days to half a month, I want to bring some people back. How about giving me some privacy?"

“Then you need to give me a specific time.” Borre took the note back and wrote a new one.

"About two weeks, I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Okay, the Bureau will remove the surveillance related to Yimeng that day. Let's make this clear first, you will be responsible for the aftermath of this matter. If the people you brought out cause trouble, you must deal with it personally."

Borre handed the newly written note to White Curtain.

"No problem. Is there anything else I need to be aware of?"

"That's all. I'm not a radical who rejects all dreamers."

“Okay, if Evelya comes back later, tell her to wait for me for a while.”

"What have you done?"

"I made a deal. I have the materials she wants... Never mind, if she needs them urgently, let her go to the Dream Experience Store to find Lily."

Bai Mu left a note for Bo Lei and then left the processing bureau. He was going to receive the goods before going to Yi Meng.

While the Soul Stone could be used later, Bai Mu was thinking of solving the problem locally.

Based on Yuri and Chito's situation.

Their bodies are not sensitive to dream erosion, unlike traditional dreamers.

Strictly speaking, they were able to escape the alternate dream because the White Curtain brought them out in the form of 'objects'.

Like flesh and blood materials forged from a dream, those things won't be affected by the Dream Erosion.

Because they escaped the dream normally, their bodies had been affected by the normal dream erosion, which is equivalent to passing the test.

The other visitors to the alternate dream world were all smuggled in, so Bai Mu's goal was to ensure that their bodies and soul stones could leave the alternate dream world normally.

This was done to avoid the drawbacks of the Weak Dream Erosion. Lily told Bai Mu this news, which meant that Lily, the unscrupulous shopkeeper, was experimenting on her own employees.

Where is my Soul Stone?

"Here you go." Lily handed a cardboard box to Bai Mu.

Inside was a soul stone the size of a pulsating bottle cap, deep blue in color, with not a single impurity visible.

"This thing costs 6666 million?" Bai Mu picked up the soul stone and examined it carefully.

Lily handed this to him without any packaging.

It felt nice in the hand when I first got it, but looking at the box, I never imagined it would be so valuable.

"The price is due to connections; sometimes, what demons want can't be measured in money."

"Okay, I'm leaving first."

Bai Mu put the Soul Stone into the weapon box and went to the craftsman.

At No. 214, Lower District, the craftsman opened the door as soon as the white curtain arrived, not giving him a chance to knock.

"Come in." The craftsman said succinctly, and after entering the room, he told Bai Mu to clean the weapon cases himself.

Remove all the unimportant items from inside.

He then opened the two boxes that were in the living room.

One box contained gun barrels of different sizes, and the other box contained combination knives.

Five swords of different specifications, but which could be combined together. Bai Mu picked up the armor-piercing sword and examined it.

This weapon isn't for chopping people; it's for smashing. The triangular serrations extending from the blade are specifically designed to cut through armor.

The weapon's dimensions were designed according to the weapon case's specifications; it's neither too long nor too short, just the right size to fit inside.

However, once the weapon case is inside, its folding function stops working properly.

"One advantage of Dream Erosion materials is that once the Dream Erosion attribute is determined, equipment can be crafted based on that attribute."

The crafting process can make the equipment more suitable for the Dream Erosion attribute.

The craftsman looked at the assembled knife set behind the white curtain and spoke.

Normally, finished Dream Erosion items are prone to having a mismatch between the item itself and the Dream Erosion attribute.

Dream-etched materials can directly avoid this problem.

"The dream-erosion attribute of this metal is 'Hellfire,' which can transform any power into hellfire."

Without any other special features, the biggest advantage of the transformed Hellfire is its high numerical value.

Therefore, when I was crafting the combination swords, I specifically implemented material resonance. Each combination sword can amplify the others within a certain distance, which also enhances the effectiveness of the Dream Erosion attribute.

"Wouldn't it become weaker if it went beyond that distance?"

"? It was originally an additional enhancement on top of 100%."

"Oh, my question."

Bai Mu brandished the combination sword. After understanding how to operate the weapon by reading the instruction manual, with a soft sound, the combination sword changed its form, and the armor-piercing blade replaced the blade of the main sword.

If needed, the armor-piercing blade can be drawn separately to cut the target without affecting the main blade.

However, this combination makes the weapon heavier and more armor-piercing.

However, this weapon is much lighter than the Dream Eater Greatsword.

However, it is much more powerful than the Dream Eater Greatsword, but the Dream Eater Greatsword has the advantage when dealing with bio-modified creatures.

The barrel, as a reinforcement component, seemed too simplistic to Bai Mu.

Firearm enhancement components should generally be high-tech, right?
The barrels alone are somewhat disappointing, but they are very well made.

After being inserted into the original barrel of the Ling Shu, the change was almost imperceptible and did not affect the installation of the original components of the Ling Shu.

The barrel design also prevents it from detaching normally.

After the installation was completed, Bai Mu only felt that Ling Shu was a little heavy. He used this weapon frequently, so he was very sensitive to its weight.

How's the barrel?

"They're all very good." The craftsman's lips curled up slightly.

He was in a good mood, as he maximized the properties of the Dream Erosion material in both crafting combination knives and reinforcing gun barrels.

The Hellfire attribute of Dream Erosion materials will not change, but the finished product can have other effects, which can affect the Dream Erosion attribute without any problem.

The same principle applies to combination knives and reinforced gun barrels.

At other times, it was the Dream Erosion attribute that was being trained, but now it was he, the creator, who was training the Dream Erosion attribute. "The barrel has the effect of converging and compressing energy, which is not only useful for the attacks launched by the Spirit Pivot, but also affects the Hellfire that the barrel itself possesses."

The craftsman explained the function of the gun barrel.

Firearm-related components have largely abandoned flashy special effects.

Furthermore, in terms of special effects, the Hellfire attribute of the Dream Erosion material has already made up for it, so the barrel only needs to focus on improving its attack performance.

For example, attack enchantments, like the Dream Erosion attribute, are attack enchantments.

The best way to increase the power of energy-based firearms is to enhance the intensity of the energy, compress and concentrate the attack, making it more explosive.

"The barrel can enhance the speed and explosiveness of attacks, and is more capable of breaking shields, but the impact is that the rate of fire will be reduced by about 10%."

The Hellfire effect attached to the barrel is optional and will not affect the barrel's inherent effects.

Utilizing the Dream Erosion attribute of the gun barrel will imbue your attacks with Hellfire, but this will naturally increase the energy consumption.

As the craftsman spoke, he picked up the combination knife that Bai Mu had placed aside, and hellfire ignited on the knife.

"Because Hellfire is of the Dream Erosion attribute, the conversion is almost lossless in terms of consumption. I have tested it, and the conversion rate is 98%."

At this point, the craftsman couldn't help but curl his lip. Such an extreme conversion rate could only appear in the Dream Erosion attribute.

This Dream Erosion material has been sublimated and has a conversion rate as high as 98%. If it is sublimated a second time, the Dream Erosion attribute will be enhanced, and the conversion rate will probably be even closer to 100%.

As for exceeding 100%, forget about it; this weapon's conversion rate could actually exceed 100%.

Theoretically, if a special hellfire creature could be cultivated, it would be possible to attempt to destroy the world...

"Consumables are not a problem, as long as it works well." Bai Mu was very satisfied with the craftsman's work.

He then looked at the last two boxes that hadn't been opened.

The craftsman opened one of the boxes, and inside were two knives.

The sword is the type of weapon used by Kurome and Akame.

"It uses a small amount of Dream Erosion materials, so it can be considered Dream Erosion equipment. The conversion rate of Hellfire with Dream Erosion attributes is 95%."

The craftsman casually pushed the box over to the white curtain.

The equipment here is made from 'leftovers', using only a small amount of Dream Erosion materials as additives.

The rest of the materials were products of melting down that Hellfire Greatsword.

Because not much Dream Erosion material was added, the conversion rate of the weapon's Dream Erosion attribute was affected.

However, since it is a sublimated Dream Erosion material, its influence will not be too weak.

If he doesn't consider the deep integration of materials, the conversion rate won't actually decrease.

However, the consequence of not deeply integrating the weapon is that if the user overuses Hellfire, the weapon will be damaged, and only the Dream Erosion material will remain.

The etched material is difficult to reuse after being crafted, so the craftsmen simply completed the deep fusion in one step.

The conversion rate of the Dream Erosion attribute has been reduced, but this weapon will not be melted by the Hellfire generated by the Dream Erosion attribute.

Two knives, and a pair of expandable metal gloves.

"By the way, these kinds of Dream Erosion weapons have almost no chance of being upgraded, so don't invest too much in them."

The craftsman reminded Bai Mu that the weapon cases and spirit cores Bai Mu had used a sufficient proportion of Dream Erosion materials, so they could be considered normal Dream Erosion equipment.

However, the amount of Dream Erosion material used in these two weapons was too small.

Since it's an extra gift outside of the regular order, the craftsman won't consume too much Dream Erosion material that can be retained.

However, the craftsmen did not cut corners in the original part of the order.

"If you hadn't said it was for your girlfriend, I wouldn't have included Dream Erosion materials as a bonus."

"Ah, it's his girlfriend and his subordinate."

"Hmph, female subordinates are all the same." The craftsman sneered, adopting the air of someone who had been there all along.

Finally, the craftsman opened the last box, inside which were things that looked like text stickers.

It is very hard, and some parts are very delicate, but when the craftsman took it out, those 'patterns' did not deform.

"This is the biggest waste of time. Give me your weapon case."

After taking Bai Mu's weapon case, the craftsman went directly to his workshop and locked Bai Mu out.

Bai Mu sat in the living room inspecting his new equipment, glancing occasionally at the tightly closed workshop door.

That door was an explosion-proof door. With the skills of a craftsman, Bai Mu looked down at the combination knife in his hand, wondering if the armor-piercing blade of this weapon could break through that door.

The temperature has risen? The waiting white screen looked around and sensed the change in temperature, and there was also a burnt smell.

He suspected that the craftsman was secretly grilling the meat himself.

More than half an hour later, the craftsman opened the door and came out, and a plume of black smoke with a sulfurous smell came out, giving Bai Mu the feeling of returning to hell.

The craftsman tossed the weapon case to Bai Mu; when he got the case, it was estimated to be around 70 or 80 degrees Celsius.

"The order is complete. If you're not leaving, stay and help me change the ventilation system."

"Okay." Bai Mu put down the weapon case, which was still very hot, without paying much attention to the demonic writing inside.

The ventilation system in the craftsman's house broke down because of the reinforcement 'component' added to the weapon case.

The white curtain will always help.

When replacing the ventilation system, the craftsman explained the function of those demonic runes.

"The material is hell metal, so to achieve the best performance, the inscriptions must be mainly demonic scripts."

The box's functions complement the power of the demonic runes; besides their dream-eroding properties, these runes also enhance the abilities of lightning and soul gathering.

The craftsman explained it in great detail.

The soul-collecting function of the Demon Inscription is demonic and not included in the weapon case. The process of it working is to add an 'interface' to the weapon case.

The Demon Inscription is like a high-powered vacuum cleaner, drawing a wider range of souls into the weapon case's soul capture range.

They fed the food directly into the mouth of the weapon box.

The enhancement to lightning occurs when the weapon case discharges electricity; the demonic rune will directly amplify the released lightning.

This enhancement is not like the compression of an energy bullet by a gun barrel; it is an enhancement of power that consumes additional force.

As for the release of Hellfire, it's a bonus, a bonus attribute that comes naturally with the materials used in Demon Inscriptions.

However, for Demon Runes, this seemingly free effect is actually the main attribute of Demon Runes.

Therefore, the craftsman did not forget his roots; this set of demon inscriptions is primarily based on the 'fire attribute'.

Demon runes can enhance the range and efficiency of soul capture and amplify the power of released lightning, but their main purpose is to enhance the effect of the Dream Erosion attribute.

After the demonic runes are imprinted on the weapon case, it's as if the weapon case is equipped with a new output system.

Only those weapon crates that offer enhancements are considered freebies from the output system.

"So when you're fighting, don't focus on the lightning from the weapon case; the hellfire unleashed by the demonic runes is much stronger!"

"I understand, but I want them all!"
