Dream Travel

Chapter 445 I did it

On the way to the first gathering place, Bai Mu was still feeling his own improvement.

As usual, Bai Mu did not reveal his intention to conceal the Dream Mist when he returned. In addition, there were not many people active in the Dream Graveyard, so he did not do anything to cover it up.

The amount of Dream Mist acquired this time was substantial, but it didn't quite satisfy Bai Mu, as the concentration of the mist didn't allow him to reach his current limit.

But the increase was not small; it increased his strength by about half.

Bai Mu wondered if this was because he had been too low-key.

But then I thought about it again, what does the impact I have on Yimeng have to do with whether I keep a low profile or not... Oh, it seems there is actually some connection.

He had thought of some ways to carry the items from the otherworldly dream. He could use methods like force or robbery. If he gained more 'fame' in the process, the probability of bringing out the corresponding items would be higher.

Bai Mu hadn't tried this method before, and he didn't need to.

Aside from the fact that the upgrade wasn't at its peak, the items Bai Mu received this time were also a bit disappointing. There was only a meteorite the size of a child's fist—no, it should be called meteorite iron.

Bai Mu understands the need for improvement, since as his own strength increases, the difficulty of achieving a full upgrade will definitely become higher and higher.

The foundation is higher now.

But he had already tried to access all sorts of items, including the Bible.

As a result, the mist eventually condensed into something, which turned out to be 24 high-quality, iron-blue dream-eroded crystals.

The gains weren't great. The strange dream clearly posed a serious threat to reality, but this is the result?
Bai Mu and the others should go back and ask the craftsmen what they can make from this piece of meteorite iron, which is about the size of a child's fist. After all, it's a product of meteorites, something from outer space.

The mist was consumed quite a bit when this stuff condensed; what if it's something really powerful?

"Sigh..." Looking at the rising sandstorm, Bai Mu found a secluded spot, summoned Beatrice, and threw the meteorite iron over.

"It's heavy." Atrist caught the meteorite. "Is this your newly acquired Dream Erosion material?"

“You’re the professional.” With that, Bai Mu took out the Dream Erosion Crystal and gave it to Beatrice.

Beatrice took out the alchemy box from the weapon case and began processing it readily, which can be considered a typical post-battle summary by Whitebeard.

Only after she consumed the third Dream Erosion Crystal did the meteorite react and complete its sublimation.

"I thought the Dream Erosion items you obtained were all on the verge of sublimation."

Beatrice returned the sublimated meteorite to the White Curtain.

"I guess that counts? It only used three Dream Erosion Crystals."

"Don't you want to think about how high the quality of your Dream Erosion Crystal is?" Atris asked curiously, "Is this all you got this time?"

"Although I don't want to either, this is the only one. Okay, let's go back quickly. More than two months have passed in reality, and I have a lot of questions."

Beatrice was slightly taken aback: "Why did it take so long?"

She's practically a permanent resident in this alternate dream now; her summons was only lifted when Bai Mu left, and they've only been in the alternate dream for less than a month.

"I do not know."

Bai Mu shouldered the weapons case: "The sandstorm is unbearable, you should go back first."

Beatrice really wanted to say that he could share both the good times and the bad...

On a solitary journey, Bai Mu twirled the meteorite iron in his hand.

This thing is only the size of a child's fist, an irregular circle, with a pitted and bumpy surface; it looks like it needs to be handled carefully.

Bai Mu was unsure of the dream-erosion effects of this thing, but as for smashing the dream-erosion crystals, that was just a habit of his.

Because she often obtains Dream Erosion items that are on the verge of sublimation, White Curtain always hammers in a few Dream Erosion Crystals after obtaining them.

So what is the dream-erosion attribute of this thing?
Hard? Or something else? Bai Mu stared at the object in his hand, deep in thought...

"What is that?" In the desert town, Mine looked up at the sky and saw something with a long trail of flame descending from the sky.

The explosion startled the desert town.

The camels inside began to stir restlessly.

Many people ran out and looked toward the spot where the unknown object had fallen.

"...?" The culprit, Bai Mu, let out a sigh of relief, looked at a crater that had been created in the distance, and decisively accelerated forward, no longer taking the normal route.

He took a more remote route, bypassing the area, and entered a desert town.

He never expected that the meteorite in his hand was actually a summoning meteorite; he had only tried using it by combining his swords.

As a result, even unprocessed dream-eroded materials can still exhibit dream-erosion properties.

Moreover, this thing consumes a lot of energy. Just now, it directly consumed one-fifth of his strength, which was the amount of fullness he had accumulated!
"You did it, didn't you?" Bai Mu was approached as soon as he arrived in the desert town.

Mine, who had found the white curtain with the protagonist, looked him over and said, "We thought you wouldn't be coming back."

"Something unexpected happened." Bai Mu looked at the subject of the story, put his hands under her armpits, and lifted her up: "Can the time difference between a dream and reality be reversed?"

He never expected this to happen. If he hadn't thought that there was no follow-up to the strange dream, Bai Mu might have stayed inside for another month or two.

In any case, the time difference in the alternate dream has never been adjusted, and the flow rate is very different from that in reality.

Let alone one or two months, even if you were stuck inside for a year, you would only get about a month in reality.

The Fate Master blinked her golden-red eyes: "I don't know. I just sensed a premonition of fate. My understanding of the alternate dream is limited to the surface." The fox girl seemed innocent. She was a dreamer and could come into contact with alternate dreams, but once she did, it was a one-time thing.

Therefore, her understanding of the strange dream can only be based on the information she already has.

"I haven't seen any records of such a 'trade deficit' in the information I've been exposed to."

"I'm really lucky." Bai Mu put the life master down, knowing he would have to be more careful about this in the future.

At least, that's how the Crisis Dreams marked by the Fate Master are.

Mine wanted to know what had happened to Bai Mu: "What exactly happened?"

"Let's go to where you're staying first."

The desert town didn't have many nice places to stay, but the protagonist and her companions actually found a suitable place here.

After putting his things inside, Bai Mu adjusted the camera and handed it to Mine: "Take a look for yourself."

Mine looked at the video above and asked, "Where is this?"

"Space, oh, I'm going to help deal with a meteorite that was about to destroy life on the surface of a planet."

A planet is hit by a meteorite. The planet itself may be unharmed, but life on it is certainly doomed.

Mine stared in astonishment at the videos filmed by the white screen, finding them absurd and hard to imagine the environment beyond the sky.

Could you tell me more about it?

The person in charge asked softly from the side.

"Row."

Bai Mu told her about his experiences in the alternate dream and learned that the alternate dream source was a key member of the team that resolved the meteorite incident. The subject nodded gently.

She said to Bai Mu, "You did the right thing. This matter is related to the Dream Source. If it is not handled properly, the crisis that will affect reality is that meteorite."

"Something went wrong with the Source of Another Dream. How could that thing actually crash into reality?" Bai Mu said casually.

Now that the meteorite problem has been solved and Yi Mengyuan has achieved great success, his attitude has become particularly casual.

"If something goes wrong with the source of the strange dreams, then it's possible that the strange dreams you experienced were abnormal in themselves."

As the protagonist finished speaking, she squeezed next to Mayne, like a younger sister, and watched the video playing on the Dream Erosion camera.

The size of that meteorite was enough to make one despair.

If a meteorite were to fall into reality through the source of the alternate dream, the surface of the real planet would also suffer a devastating blow.

It doesn't matter where such a large meteorite lands.

In any case, once it hits, it will be a global crisis.

Fortunately, the crisis was over. The meteorite was eventually blasted into two pieces, bypassed the planet where the source of the strange dream was located, and flew towards an unknown place without looking back.

"Ah! My dear, you're back!" Leone's voice rang out, and a figure rushed over, burying Bai Mu's head inside the mountain.

"You worried me to death!"

"It wasn't my problem, it was Yi Meng's problem. It's fine now." With immense willpower, Bai Mu broke free from the mountains and explained, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"As long as you can come back, that's all that matters. Oh, by the way, we just saw a fireball fall from the sky..."

"I did it." Seeing that Mine and the others were also turning their gazes towards him, Bai Mu readily admitted it. Then he asked Leone, "You went to the scene to see for yourselves?"

“I went to the site with Akame and the others. It was a huge rock, and even the sand had melted.”

"..." Bai Mu took out the meteorite iron and looked at the Fate Master: "Do you think it's possible that even without the Crisis Dream, I can still bring crisis to reality?"

Bai Mu roughly understood why this upgrade hadn't reached its maximum potential; perhaps it was because the meteorite iron was of too high quality.

The person in charge smiled, seemingly not regarding the meteorite iron in Bai Mu's hand as a dangerous item: "It doesn't seem quite right."

"Let's try again."

Bai Mu acted immediately. Since the desert had a large enough open area, he decided to find a large uninhabited area to test it out.

The effect is really good. When will he dye his hair white again, prepare a knife over two meters long, and conjure up a world-destroying meteorite on the spot...?

“You should rest well since you just got back. I’ll take you to a hot spring.” Leone pressed down on Bai Mu’s restless hand.

More than the curiosity aroused by the meteorite, she wanted to do something else.

"Then let's try it another day. I have some other things to ask."

Are there hot springs in the desert? Or here? I'd really like to try it.

At the hot spring, Leone, with an open and honest demeanor, faced the white curtain and said, "Not bad, right? A little over a month ago, we used to come here often to relax, but we haven't been in the mood since."

"I didn't want it to be like that either."

Bai Mu shook his head; this was truly beyond human control.

If he hadn't wasted those few days after dealing with the meteorite, it probably would have taken less than two months in reality.

If that strange dream was normal, then in reality, less than a day or two might have passed...
