Dream Travel

Chapter 459 is no longer a gift.
The craftsman has a fondness for special materials, and he won't waste the piece he's preserved just because of his promise to the White Curtain.

Rather than waste it, he preferred to use it as repair material for the white curtain.

Bai Mu tried on the glove and, after confirming that it did not affect hand movement or weapon holding at all, he put the small box away.

"You're still very good at paying attention to small details."

The craftsman rarely showed a smile: "If you're satisfied, then come back to me next time."

He can be serious and unsmiling with people he doesn't know well, but when it comes to materials that interest him, well, let's just say he's not.

"I do not know any craftsmen better than you."

"You need to be careful, someone's getting impatient," the craftsman added as Bai Mu left.

White Curtain wanted to know more, but the craftsman returned to his silent state.

He didn't ask any more questions. There were already enough people eyeing him, and the trouble caused by what he had had never been properly resolved.

But as long as he continues to grow stronger, those troubles will no longer be troubles.

The white curtain arrived at the experience store.

"What do you want to buy? Or do you want to see the store manager?" Chito asked the arriving White Curtain, seemingly wanting to say something more but holding back.

"Lily is getting lazier and lazier." Bai Mu glanced around the store but couldn't find Lily. He thought back to the past, when Lily would be working in the store late at night.

Qianhu gave a helpless smile. She couldn't say anything about it; it was a matter between her boss and her benefactor, what could she say?

"Give me a few jewelry boxes, the smaller ones."

"Okay." Qianhu readily agreed and led Bai Mu to a shelf, where he found the different jewelry box he wanted.

"Who are you going to give a gift to?" Yuri leaned closer and asked, her curiosity piqued.

"Send them something rather dangerous." Bai Mu glanced at the earrings they were wearing.

I wonder how well their bodies and souls have meshed together.

However, this does not affect their daily lives, unless they want to play some special games to exchange the soul stones they carry.

"Danger things shouldn't be contained in something like this, right? For example, shouldn't we replace it with bullet casings?"

"Shut up, that's a threatening letter." Chika gave Yuri a light elbow to the stomach.

After Bai Mu selected a suitable jewelry box, she went to pay. For these inexpensive items, she could simply pay normally.

Just as Bai Mu was about to leave, Lily mysteriously appeared.

"Good afternoon."

Bai Mu greeted Lily.

Lily looked at the shopping bag in Bai Mu's hand and said with a smile, "Who are you going to give something to? I can help you decide."

"It's just a regular packaging box..." Bai Mu thought of a way to settle the debt: "You can choose one you like too."

"Oh? What are you planning to give as a gift?"

"Similar to their earrings, but simpler."

The earrings made by the craftsman were not fancy; they had nothing on them and were made of pure meteorite iron. Overall, they were not bad-looking, but they were very small.

Lily helped White Curtain choose a new jewelry box.

Bai Mu didn't know much about this either. After making his selection, he took out a box from his pocket and took out an earring from it.

“We have new guests,” Lily said to Chito and Yuri.

The two of them quickly went to greet the new guests.

Bai Mu placed an earring in the jewelry box: "This is for you. It's made of meteorite iron. The Dream Erosion effect can summon meteorites."

"Made by a craftsman?" Lily didn't seem too surprised. After taking the jewelry box, she examined the small earrings inside.

"Yes."

“When did he start having these little schemes?” Lily chuckled as she put away the jewelry box. “I’ll test him later, and then we’ll settle the score.”

The items from the otherworldly realms provided by White Curtain to the store will all be included in the 6666 million yen bill.

When Bai Mu returned, he brought back a lot of electronic items, and now he has this one more.

The debt offsetting amount for electronic items is not much. Although those items are popular, Bai Mu needs to acquire more to clear his debts.

But this Dream Erosion item is different.

Dream Erosion items that can summon meteorites can start at five million if they perform well, and that's a conservative price.

If it's better than expected, then let's start with tens of millions.

The Dream Erosion effect of this item is extremely rare; summoning a meteorite is a Dream Erosion effect within the 'Catastrophe' range.

"Perhaps they want to retain customers like me?"

“For my own enjoyment, hehehehe.” Lily laughed heartily. “I really like this thing. It would be even better if it were a gift. I regret making this deal with you.”

Without that agreement, this item would most likely have been a gift, but now it can only be a Dream Erosion item being delivered.

"It's not out of the question to give it as a gift."

“That won’t do. Even the best relationships aren’t maintained by letting the other person suffer. I’m not in such a difficult situation that I need you to suffer.” Lily put the jewelry box away.

"I'm going back."

"Don't forget to come early tomorrow," Lily reminded White Curtain.

"I'm going to be famous tomorrow, do you have any way to help me keep a low profile?"

"For ordinary people, who would pay attention to you all the time for no reason?" "That makes sense."

Let alone the development of the internet in this world, even in the world of the internet age, not everyone knows those internet celebrities with millions of followers.

Even if he received the Maple Crown Medal and appeared in the local newspaper, for ordinary people, knowing him is less important than thinking about what to eat for dinner.

Back home, Bai Mu took out the prepared items: "Come on, everyone gets one."

"What gift?" Leone was the first to come over and take the jewelry box handed to her by the white curtain.

She stared at the earring inside, slightly taken aback, and a subtle expression appeared on her face: "This... should be related to combat, right?"

"It's made from meteorite iron, which can summon meteorites, but the effect will be somewhat weaker."

Leone showed an expression of no surprise. She took out the earring and looked at it. It wasn't flashy, but the craftsmanship was impeccable; it was small yet exquisite.

"But why is it all the same?" Mine asked, having not considered wearing any jewelry or anything like that.

"This was made by the craftsman who repaired your Imperial Arms. He makes weapons and equipment, so let's not be so picky about works of art, shall we?"

"understood."

Mine nodded. Since it was made by a craftsman, then there was nothing to worry about. As for whether or not to use it, Mine wanted to.

She had experienced the dream-corrosion effect of meteorite iron before. Although the meteorites she summoned were quite weak given her physique at that time, she was different now!

Having this thing is like having a new attack method.

"I probably won't need it, right?" Chelsea said hesitantly. She had never seen the dream-erosion effect of meteorite iron, and summoning meteorites sounded too outrageous.

Moreover, her assassination techniques are based on stealth and silence. Summoning meteors to assassinate someone... would that still be assassination?
“Yes, we have them. The craftsmen have already made them, and it would be a waste for me to keep them.”

He already has the Meteorite Gloves, so they're useless to him except taking up a small portion of his weapon case space.

The finished products should be put to good use.

"Whether you use it or not doesn't matter, the key is that you can't be without it. Whenever you encounter trouble, just use this thing to smash the enemy."

What a hassle… Chelsea nodded, touched her earlobe, and pressed the earring into place. The intricate structure of the earring ensured that it wouldn't fall off on its own.

As for the ear piercing issue, they have all used the advanced enhanced virus, eliminating the need for ear piercing.

Bai Mu's words reminded her.

The White Curtain has a bounty of 40 million for the dead and 50 million for the living on the black market.

Their close association with the White Curtain does indeed make them prone to trouble.

Especially her, the 'housekeeper'.

If someone wants to know Bai Mu's movements or other information, and they can't deal with Bai Mu, then they might come to her.

"How about we find a place to try it out?" Leone was eager to test out her newly acquired equipment.

The White Curtain had given her combat gloves made of hell metal, but so far, she had only dealt with some relatively weak demons.

The Hellfire was so powerful against those demons that there wasn't much opportunity to test the weapon's true strength.

Now that White Curtain has given them new Dream Erosion props, they should at least test them out, right?

"Let's wait a few days. I'm going to attend some kind of award ceremony tomorrow."

“I’ll keep a record,” Chelsea said with a smile.

Bai Mu thought for a moment and handed her the Dream Erosion camera: "Then record it well."

Although he wasn't particularly interested in such rituals, he knew that this step was necessary.

Borre's statement that Rota's mayor, Oscar, owed him a favor wasn't just an implication; it was a direct statement about something.

The new mayor, Oscar, clearly intends to use this incident to do something. He may not need Whitebeard to get involved in anything or take any other action, but this step is indispensable.

Not long after the new mayor took office, a person in Rota City became a recipient of the Maple Crown Medal, which had a significant impact on the new mayor.

If this thing had been handed to Whitebeard a few months ago, the Oscars might not have won this election.

However, this award ceremony now has nothing to do with the former mayor.

The next day, Bai Mu arrived at the Yi Meng Experience Store early.

Lily, who was waiting, led Bai Mu to a room where she had prepared clothes and other things.

"Sit still, I'm going to cut your hair."

"I don't expect to have to put on makeup, do I?" Bai Mu asked, feeling a little uncomfortable sitting in front of a mirror.

He didn't mind getting a haircut, but he felt that makeup didn't suit someone like him.

“No need for makeup.” Seeing Bai Mu’s uncomfortable expression, Lily said with a smile, “You’re not an actor.”

"That's good."

As always, Lily displayed her versatility.

After quickly trimming Bai Mu's hair, she left the room to him and told him to change his clothes.

The clothes Lily prepared were not suits or similar garments.

Although similar clothing exists in the Maple Crown Republic, it is not required for formal occasions.

To this world, suits are more like an import from a fantastical dream world.

Different countries in the local world have their own formal attire.
