Dream Travel

Chapter 421 The Mystery of Disappearance
“The soul matching is fine. Although there are some differences, they are within acceptable limits.” Atris checked the physical condition of Leone and the others.

The knowledge she gained from the demons was immensely beneficial to her; the nameless demon's knowledge came from the Demon Grand Duke.

Even with incomplete memories, it's still much better than a wild, local alchemist like her.

Based on her past experience, the knowledge she gained in this month would have taken her at least several decades to master.

But once you have a stable source of knowledge, these are all minor issues.

"What about the side effects?"

"There are basically no side effects, but it's best to embed a soul stone to ensure the stability of the soul, since they ultimately leave the Otherworld through the separation of human and soul."

Beatrice looked at the white curtain with sparkling eyes; the white curtain was truly a treasure.

Bringing Yuri and Chito out was a trial run; this current attempt is a real, hands-on operation.

The result was much better than she had expected. Instead of using the weapon box to preserve the souls, she used the soul stone to preserve them, and those souls were still affected by the Dream Erosion.

However, this kind of influence is benign. Just like when outsiders enter a different dream, they will be affected by the dream erosion of the dream source, thus passively grasping some basic information about that world.

Although the information pertains to language, it also illustrates the positive aspects of dream eclipse.

Leone and the others were affected by the same dream erosion in both body and soul, so the differences were not significant.

The error in body and soul is much lower than that of Yuri and Chito.

"Then let's complete the awakening step."

“Leave it to me,” Beatrice said confidently. Then, as if remembering something, she added, “I recommend placing the Soul Stone in the cervical spine or the skull.”

"Hmm... Will it leave a scar? No, is it safe?"

Beatrice rolled her eyes almost imperceptibly: "When I modified my body before, it was much more difficult than this kind of inlay, but I still completed it easily."

And it absolutely won't leave scars! Have you ever seen a scar on my body?

"I didn't look closely," Bai Mu shook his head.

Atreus's lips twitched slightly as she began moving Leone and the others. After all, once the weapon crates were upgraded, she would also receive the enhancement from the White Veil.

"Do you need any help?" Bai Mu asked.

Beatrice said without reading the room, "No need. You don't want their image to be ruined, do you?"

"Don't even mention how big the incision is."

If he gets too old, then he'll go find Lily.

"The wound and the soul stone are the same size. They are not beings like you, their physiques are not that strong, so the implantation can be completed very easily."

Beatrice reached out and touched the back of Mine's neck, then patted her head: "I recommend these two spots because they are vital areas, but also places to save your life."

The probability of being attacked in a vital area is not high. The reason for surviving is that after being fatally attacked, the wound is unlikely to be further damaged by the enemy.

More importantly, this place is close to the brain, which is the place most closely connected to the soul.

"However, both of these areas are vulnerable to head injuries or decapitation, so the implant should be placed slightly below the cervical spine."

Beatrice shared her survival tips with the white curtain...

Bai Mu sighed slightly, "You're not just afraid of death, you're extremely afraid."

"But you still killed me."

Beatrice carried Mine's body into the underground alchemy workshop: "Leave the rest to me, it'll be done in half an hour."

"Row."

Bai Mu returned to the living room, opened the weapon case, and looked at the equipment inside. The Spirit Pivot had already been sublimated, and after the sublimation, the Dream Erosion attribute of this gun had been normally enhanced.

Like the weapon case, the enhancement of the Dream Erosion attribute can be permanently retained to a certain extent, but the degree is very low.

In addition, this weapon can consume stamina to attack and increase its power.

It essentially provides an additional way to convert the output mode.

Of course, what truly brought about the qualitative change in the Ling Shu was the installed reinforced barrel component. The barrel compressed the energy density of the bullet, increasing its speed.

The reduced rate of fire is negligible.

Reducing the rate of fire by one-tenth has little impact on him; this small difference results in higher bullet velocity and penetration.

The test has been conducted by Bai Mu. Without reinforcing the barrel, when the bullets hit high-intensity targets, the bullets will explode.

Once equipped with a barrel, it can penetrate the target when firing at the same target.

Furthermore, the bullets can be imbued with hellfire, so even penetrating attacks can inflict fatal damage on the enemy.

An attack that penetrates the target's body is far more lethal than an explosion that is blocked from the outside.

However, this barrel is not very effective against ordinary targets.

An attack that would normally spread after hitting an enemy is so penetrating that it passes through the target's body before it can spread out.

Fortunately, the Hellfire barrel attachment compensated for this deficiency.

Moreover, the Ling Shu spear itself is equipped with lightning release, and lightning will also cause lightning damage when it penetrates the target.

Those who use the Thunderfire Bomb know how effective it is.

As for the combination knife, it's hard to say. The weapon does feel good to use. When dealing with large dangerous species, the armor-piercing knife cuts them down silently.

Those dangerous species with thick scales can have their scales pierced with a single strike, leaving them with significantly less defense. As for the demonic runes engraved inside the weapon case, they greatly increase the intensity of the lightning emitted from it.

Although the negative impact is a reduced kill radius, this can be compensated for by a strong enough white screen.

Moreover, lightning is highly contagious, so even if the kill radius is reduced, it still only affects the area of ​​a large-scale outbreak.

If controlled well, there isn't much difference; the energy consumption issue is within the limits that the white screen can handle.

These equipment have all been tested. If Bai Mu encounters those demons again, he is confident that he can kill them all... and kill many more.

Half an hour later, Atreus emerged from the underground alchemy workshop.

Leone and the others followed behind.

Bai Mu sat casually on the living room sofa, his weapon case propped up on the table, with his computer on top for playing games.

"..."

"...Ah, welcome to Rota." After a brief silence, the white curtain pressed the pause button.

“This is not what I expected.” Leone looked around Bai Mu’s house; she thought Bai Mu would live in a very special place.

But this place is surprisingly ordinary, except for that underground alchemy workshop which is a bit special.

Nothing suspicious was found in the underground alchemy workshop.

After leaving the basement, the living room of the Bai family was surprisingly normal, even simple.

Chelsea's mansion was much better than his house.

“I’m not a privileged person. The houses in Rota are very expensive. Although I can afford a better one now, I don’t plan to move.”

Changing is not out of the question, but if we were to change, we could buy a house near Lily. With that in mind, Bai Mu picked up the landline and made a call to Lily.

"Yes, help me find a new house, somewhere near yours will do. It doesn't have to be big, just make sure the renovations are standard, and prepare an alchemical basement too... What? You can move this place over? Then let's move this place over there."

After a brief phone call, Bai Mu decided on a new place to stay.

He didn't have to think about it before, but now he has to think about it more. As for living near Lily, that's because he trusts Lily.

After all, she is so capable and reliable. Living there is like having the advantage of being close to her; you can go directly to her if you need anything.

You can look for it even if there's nothing wrong.

"Is this a telephone?" Mine looked at the landline used by the White Curtain. The Revolutionary Army had already produced this kind of thing after their victory.

It's just that it's not widely circulated; she's only heard about it.

"This is a phone, and this is a computer." At this point, Bai Mu looked at Hei Tong and continued, "It can further enlarge your sister's high-definition photos."

Black Eyes unconsciously tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand.

Akame, on the other hand, was quite calm. She had given her permission to take the photos, and Bai Mu could look at them if he wanted.

"I want to buy a house too!" Mine found her suitcase, opened it, and inside were the family assets she had taken with her.

Considering the issue of currency incompatibility, she carried a lot of hard currency, so that even after arriving in the real world of Rota City, she could continue to be a wealthy woman.

The only problem is that there's no revolutionary army to back them up anymore.

"You can ask Lily when she arrives, or you can buy what's here."

"I want to buy a new one."

"There aren't any new ones. There are areas under construction in Rota City, but those development zones aren't doing very well right now. Even if you buy one, you'll have to wait."

Bai Mu, thinking about all the things he needed to say next, quit the game and closed the computer: "Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat... Oh, I'll go buy groceries first, and you can chat with Lily when she arrives."

“Who is Lily?” Leone asked.

"The manager of the Dream Experience Store, Atrist knows her."

After Bai Mu finished speaking, he took the money and left the residence. He said that if there was anything he wanted to discuss, they could talk about it during dinner.

While picnics are certainly nice, Bai Mu prefers to cook elaborate meals at home.

After all, he rarely gets full, so when he wants to eat, he naturally wants to eat to his heart's content.

Although it's difficult to feel full under normal circumstances, the feeling of accumulating satiety is wonderful.

After buying enough groceries at the market and returning home, Lily arrived here.

"You bought so much food again? I've already explained the local situation to them. When you're not in Rota City, can they come to my shop?"

"Why are you all trying to poach our employees?" Bai Mu was speechless.

Lily said with a smile, "My shop doesn't lack manpower, but it's good to have more people."

“But when I visited your store before, there were quite a few employees there.”

"I've arranged for them to go somewhere else."

Bai Mu was surprised: "You have branches?"

"Isn't this a normal thing?"

Watching Bai Mu and Lily talking, the others looked thoughtful; Bai Mu and Lily's relationship was unusually good.

Chelsea looked conflicted; Rota's area was far too large for her to imagine.

Before coming here, she felt that this place was full of mystery, but after arriving... all the mystery disappeared!
