Dream Travel

Chapter 486 Good or bad depends on one's stance
Who could stand clearing a difficult dungeon without getting better rewards?
However, reality is not a game. If the inability to obtain more Dream Mist is due to the high strength of the Dream, then there must be a corresponding reason.

If that's the case, we'll need to figure out the specific reasons later.

If it's the second scenario, well, Bai Mu already knew. If he encountered something good, he would definitely try to bring it out.

There are many strange dreams, and some good things, once missed, may never be encountered again.

Bai Mu is more worried about the first scenario.

There are definitely more good things in high-difficulty alternate dreams, but unfortunately, you might not get much alternate dream mist from these kinds of dreams.

In other words, when he brings out those dream items, he is more likely to face the same problems as other dream walkers.

However, the current situation is still relatively good. He has improved and successfully brought out everything from the dream world. Some of the dream mist has also generated dream-eroded items.

All is well. Assuming the first scenario doesn't exist, it means the jade is of very high quality and has consumed a large amount of the Mysterious Dream Mist it could bring out.

After that, Bai Mu didn't go to any other Dreams. He stayed at the Dream Graveyard for a few days to check on the Dream Erosion left by Shan Qifeng.

By the third day, the remnants of the Dream Erosion had been mostly cleared away. Although some remained, time would erase everything.

The previously moved Dream Source has been repositioned and its location has been adjusted.

After Shan Qifeng's dream collapsed, a lot of things were revealed.

However, most of those items were incomplete and had a lot of malignant dream erosion. The complete items that appeared after the collapse of the dream might be dream erosion items, but the incomplete items were mostly harmful substances.

Besides that, there were only low-quality dream-eroded crystals scattered all over the ground.

The dark, dream-eroded crystals are of extremely poor quality, resembling large, non-combustible waste that is difficult to recycle.

However, this thing can still be used as a special resource.

Inferior dream-erosion crystals are harmful to living organisms, and even more so to those who experience strange dreams.

The problem is that this stuff is produced in relatively high quantities; in the Dream Graveyard, the guards can find quite a few every day during their patrols.

After confirming that Shan Qifeng's strange dream did not cause any further problems, Bai Mu left the Strange Dream Graveyard.

Carrying a cube-shaped box over two meters in size, Bai Mu returned to Rota City.

“You…” Lily looked at the large box that Bai Mu had delivered, and after a brief silence, she smiled and said, “You’re quite clever.”

Instead of moving the box over directly, Bai Mu arranged for a car to deliver it.

After the porter put the item down, he walked away.

This box is currently blocking the entrance of the Yimeng Experience Store.

Yuri, carrying a physics-themed sword (a crowbar), asked Lily, "Boss, shall we open this thing now?"

“I think this thing is worth 6666 million.” Bai Mu patted the box.

What he said startled Qianhu, who began to calculate just how much money this was.

The income at the Yimeng Experience Store is good. After settling down here, their basic monthly salary is one thousand yuan.

If customers come and sell products through their promotions, they receive an additional commission.

Such an income is not low in Rota City; at least, they feel it is very high.

For the average person, a monthly income of one thousand yuan can buy a lot of things in Rota City.

So what's in this box?
"Let's go to the warehouse first and find a tow truck," Lily said to Qianhu, rubbing her forehead.

Yuri was somewhat disappointed: "Aren't we just going to dismantle it?"

“It’s blocking the way here.” Lily shook her head. After delivering the box to the warehouse, Yuri received instructions and enthusiastically used a crowbar to open the large box.

After seeing what was inside, she was puzzled: "It looks like a big rock."

"It's jade...it should be jade."

Bai Mu corrected him, but his tone was uncertain. After all, the giant corpse had been jadeified, and Bai Mu was unsure whether the piece left behind was jade or a body part.

When he was making the box, he showed it to demons such as Beatrice and Lexenbra. Beatrice said it was something similar to jade.

The demons of Luxembra said that this thing was more like a magic crystal or something similar.

In general, if you treat this thing as jade, it's definitely much better than ordinary jade.

Besides, if it really is jade, such a large piece of pure and flawless jade wouldn't be cheap, would it?

"Oh, right, and this too." Bai Mu took out a fire-patterned tiger skin from the box: "Is it illegal?"

“It’s not illegal in the dream world, and tigers aren’t protected animals.” Lily glanced at the tiger skin that Bai Mu had taken out: “It’s intact, and it’s a Dream Erosion item… Hmm, not bad.”

We'll have to identify this thing later to see if it has any dream-eroding properties.

Then White Curtain took out the Corpse Fang.

Upon seeing the fang, Lily immediately took out a pair of gloves, avoiding direct contact, and said to Bai Mu, "Don't touch me before you wash your hands."

"This thing isn't that dirty, is it?" Seeing Lily's serious expression, Bai Mu was slightly speechless.

Although this tooth is not as pure and flawless as a jade-like corpse piece, as an important item used by the Zombie King to bite people and suck their blood, it has no flaws or defects.

“But it’s poisonous.” Lily examined the tooth. It was also a Dream Erosion item, but it wasn’t a wolf’s tooth or a tiger’s tooth.

Some people collect these things, but these kinds of items are considered niche.

As for crafting weapons, that's even more impossible. This stuff isn't a Dream Erosion material; it's a Dream Erosion item. Using it to craft other weapons would only damage this Dream Erosion item. Surely no one would be so extravagant as to use this as an arrowhead, would they?

"I don't feel anything." Bai Mu hadn't had a chance to test whether the substance was poisonous or not.

Finally, there were the jade-like body parts in the box.

After throwing the tooth into a box and stuffing the glove into a garbage bag, Lily began to examine the jade-like body part.

She looked somewhat surprised: "This seems to be some kind of unique crystal, and it even has some residual life force. Where did it come from?"

"From a gigantic humanoid creature," the white curtain recounted, describing the jade-like giant corpse.

After listening, Lily laughed and said to Bai Mu, "You're so mean, you've ruined someone's chance to be resurrected."

"Come on, do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing that this thing has been resurrected?" Bai Mu explained the situation of the Mingjing Sect.

After listening, Lily pondered for a moment: "It depends on your perspective. If someone close to you died, and you could resurrect them by killing ten thousand wild beasts, would you do it?"

"Yes, I will." Bai Mu said without hesitation. Let alone wild beasts, as for humans... well, there are plenty of people in the world who deserve to die.

“That’s not what the beasts think.”

Bai Mu nodded knowingly: "Those in the Mingjing Sect who don't know the truth don't think that way either, but this thing is clearly not human, right?"

"That depends on the individual's thoughts. It is definitely a humanoid creature, but whether it is human or not depends on how 'he' thinks, but he can't think about it now."

Lily had no complaints about the jade.

"Could you tone it down a bit? These are still body parts, aren't they?"

"A body part? I'm not one of his kind. Would you find something gory just because you picked up a robot's arm?"

Bai Mu thought about that scenario and shook his head: "I would think it's cool to find something like that."

Please, that's a robot's arm!
“This one too.” Lily stroked the surface of the jade with her fingers, enjoying its smooth texture.

This thing looks like jade, but it's actually far inferior to normal jade. Jade can't compare to this at all, not only in terms of texture and color, but also in terms of quality.

"Alright, what's the value of this thing?"

"But this thing doesn't count as a Dream Erosion item."

"I remember the agreement didn't require it to be a Dream Erosion item," White Curtain reminded Lily, something he remembered very clearly.

Lily only requested items from the Dream, not Dream-Eroded items.

“If it’s not a dream-eroded item, its value won’t be too high, even if it comes from another dream.”

Bai Mu clicked his tongue: "Where's the Soul Stone?"

"Life is priceless." Lily's smile remained unchanged.

Soulstones are made by demons, so they are not exactly dream items.

However, the soul stone that Bai Mu obtained represents 'semi-immortality'. Even if it means living in another form, people who are about to die are willing to spend hundreds of millions, or even more, of money to live on.

The jade stone that Bai Mu brought back clearly does not possess the characteristic of granting people 'eternal life' at a low price.

Perhaps other secrets can be discovered from this, but compared to the longevity that is slowly and carefully planned, most people still pursue a simple, quick longevity with fewer side effects.

"Let's determine the specific value of this thing first." Bai Mu tapped the jade stone: "In the dream where this thing is located, the Mingjing Sect seems to have used this thing to make a Dustless Source. Oh, and there's also a sword made of a similar material."

"You have enough weapons, don't you?" Lily reminded White Curtain.

“So I’m waiting for the illusion you mentioned.” Bai Mu patted the weapon case; the more he had, the more he wanted the 'illusion' Lily had mentioned.

Especially after witnessing Serafis's illusionary magic, although Serafis's illusionary magic wasn't as 'sophisticated' as Lily had described, the other party had at least grasped that basic technique.

White Curtain really wants to master it, and it would be even better if there were similar Dream Erosion items.

He'll definitely find a way to cover his weapon case with it then.

"That's too difficult for you."

Lily patted the jade: "Let's put this here for now and have your new item appraised first."

"Alright." Bai Mu glanced at the jade. "I'll take a piece with me later and ask the craftsman."

"Oh dear, I kind of regret recommending him to you."

“...I am very grateful to you for recommending the craftsman to me, otherwise I would not have been able to obtain this item.”

The warehouse was right next to the Yimeng Experience Store, so they went directly to a small private room inside the store.

Lily first examined the corpse tooth: "The poison it contains will take effect upon contact with blood, but normal contact will be fine."

The Dream Erosion effect likely takes effect under specific circumstances, but I don't have enough information to determine exactly what those circumstances are.

After she finished speaking, she returned the box containing the Corpse Fang to Bai Mu. Dream-eroded items that take effect under specific conditions are not very popular unless the specific dream-erosion effect can be figured out, as there are too many unknowns.

The tiger skin that Bai Mu brought back was quite good; it was a high-quality Dream Erosion item and material for both warriors and wealthy people!
The Fire-patterned Tiger skin can burn, but the flames are not strong compared to the Hellfire used by the White Curtain; in fact, they are quite weak, falling within the range of normal flame intensity.

However, the dream-erosion properties of tiger skin have extremely high compatibility with the carrier.

After testing, the fire absorption and conversion process involved both buffs and recovery, and the Dream Erosion attribute could even be used as a special fire resistance.

Compared to the Corpse Fang, whose effects are unknown, the Dream-Eroded Tiger Skin is much more valuable.
