Dream Travel

Chapter 487 Can also purify water

"Tiger skin can be processed into clothing; a cape would be nice."

"I don't really like that kind of thing." Bai Mu looked at the tiger skin; in terms of potential, it shouldn't be bad.

Not only does it come with a built-in flame cloak effect, but it also has the Dream Erosion attribute that absorbs fire attributes.

Tiger skin can absorb external flames to buff the wearer and enhance recovery, making it a pretty good item.

If it were made into equipment and further enhanced, it would be quite unfriendly to fire-type ability users.

"Want a price estimate?"

"Since it's a processable raw material, and the effect and carrier are well-matched, this thing is worth at least two million. If it's put up at an auction, it can double in price if a buyer in a hurry needs it."

Lily gave White Curtain an estimate.

In fact, most of the Dream Eclipse equipment costs around several hundred thousand yuan, and some are even less expensive than a high-performance computer.

After all, before the item was brought out of the dream, no one could be sure whether it could become a Dream Erosion item.

Besides, Dream-eroded items aren't necessarily that powerful. For example, some Dream-eroded items like soup spoons might only fetch tens of thousands of dollars if sold...

The tiger skin that Bai Mu brought back was already at a premium, partly because this Dream Erosion item is a raw material that can be customized according to the client's needs.

On the other hand, the dream-erosion properties of tiger skin match the carrier very well, and the dual advantages can make this item significantly more expensive.

Unfortunately, the fire-patterned tiger skin has the base color of a normal tiger's fur, rather than a white tiger or something similar, otherwise it would be more valuable.

"Four million?"

"But if you sell it to me, the maximum is 249 million."

“…Your number is not bad.” Bai Mu’s lips twitched slightly.

"So, do you want to keep it?"

"No, I won't keep it." Bai Mu shook his head. Although he thought the fire-patterned tiger skin was nice, he really didn't need it.

He doesn't lack recovery power when it comes to fire attribute conversion, and besides, he also has corresponding fire resistance after eating the dangerous Dream Erosion food.

He is not weak in terms of fire resistance, and his fire resistance increases as he is enhanced.

Then Bai Mu looked at the Corpse Fang, which Lily shook her head at: "Without specific Dream Erosion effects, I can't give an estimate."

"I'll go to the processing center to check on it later."

Finally, there was the jade stone. Lily said she needed some time to analyze it, and asked Bai Mu to do other things in the meantime.

Bai Mu took the corpse tooth to the disposal bureau.

"He went to the forensic department? I see. We don't need to report these things directly anymore."

After learning where Bai Mu had gone, Bo Lei instructed his assistant to continue handling official business.

The director of the processing bureau was very busy, and he didn't have much contact with the field staff anymore, which made Borei feel a little uncomfortable. Even though he hadn't stopped exercising, he still felt that he was starting to gain weight.

"Good afternoon, Henry," Bai Mu greeted the 'old man' at the appraisal office.

Henry took off his headphones, looked at the white screen with slight surprise, and then said, "You haven't been here in a long time."

He knew about Bai Mu; she was the holder of the Maple Crown Medal. Although the hype surrounding Bai Mu had died down, she hadn't been forgotten.

"Busy." Bai Mu took out the Corpse Fang. Henry looked at it and, out of professionalism, put on a pair of gloves.

After all, the white curtain was in a box when it was taken out.

"Testing the effects of Dream Erosion?"

"Yes, it would be best to be as accurate as possible."

Henry nodded and began the corresponding tests. The processing bureau had a lot of data records about the Dream Erosion effect.

Bai Mu wasn't an outsider, so Henry was particularly careful during the test. When the Dream Erosion effect he had recorded didn't match up, he directly used the database of the Rota Processing Bureau.

"...It should be a very rare Dream Erosion effect. The trigger condition...hmm, black, and related to death. What is the origin of this thing?"

Henry frowned slightly. It was not easy to discern the exact Dream Erosion effect of this thing, mainly because the information in the database did not match.

At most, it can be determined that it is a condition-triggered Dream Erosion. Then, other tests were performed, which are related to the trigger conditions. The black reaction is usually triggered by death.

Even if it doesn't start from death, it's still from near death, or from when the holder's life condition is poor.

The red test response is something like anger.

"A zombie."

“Zombie? Undead?” Henry nodded, made a detailed note, and said, “This thing should be a death-triggered Dream Erosion item. Since its source is the undead, we can guess the Dream Erosion effect based on this.”

It should allow the holder to transform into the corresponding being upon death, or for the being killed by it to be transformed into the corresponding being.

"Oh... I need to find someone to try?"

"...If you really want to do this, you can find the enemy," Henry said after a moment of silence. He didn't ask Bai Mu to find someone specifically to test the effects of this thing.

Death-triggered Dream Erosion items are either used against enemies or against oneself.

But neither of them is easy to test directly, since testing this thing comes at the cost of 'death'.

"Let's talk about it later." Bai Mu put away the Corpse Fang, a death-triggered Dream Erosion item. Plus, it wasn't very big, so it was worth keeping it as a precaution.

Afterwards, Bai Mu went to see Bo Lei, but he was busy with official business, so Bai Mu did not disturb Bo Lei any further and returned to the Yi Meng Experience Store.

Upon arrival, Lily was already waiting in the shop. "The analysis results are in. Based on the information you provided, this can be used as an energy refining material."

"Is this all it's good for?" Bai Mu thought the thing was a bit useless.

"It also has an energy storage effect, but this thing only works on specific types of energy. If you want to use it, you need to perform a double conversion."

Lily explained the purpose of this thing.

"If you had that 'Dustless Divine Skill,' this thing would be even more useful."

"That thing can be a trap if you don't use it properly." Bai Mu waved his hand. The Dustless Divine Skill might be a normal technique, but the person using it went astray and opened Pandora's box.

If the Mingjing Sect had followed the normal path from the beginning, allowing its disciples to exude dustless energy while cultivating the Dustless Divine Skill, progressing in a pyramid-like manner, then there wouldn't have been any problems.

But they used people to make pills...

Then this thing won't be as useful.

"What about value?"

"I can offer 20 million."

"This is what you call not that valuable??" Bai Mu was a little stunned; none of the Dream Erosion items had this price.

"The size is what it is, and this is not ordinary jade. Even if the limitations of the jade itself reduce the scope of its function, it does not mean it is useless."

Lily and White Curtain explained that the main valuable part of this thing was...

To make full use of jade, it needs to be paired with a corresponding 'transformation method,' also known as the Dustless Divine Skill.

Once paired, the jade can be 'charged', and then the jade itself will play a corresponding role in further refining that energy, transforming it into a higher level of the same type of energy.

After that, this energy can be utilized using that 'conversion method'.

Moreover, jade retains a non-human vitality, which means that we can try to analyze the 'life information' contained in jade in order to find other ways to transform homogeneous substances.

Moreover, jade itself has the effect of passively absorbing energy to maintain itself, and the amount absorbed exceeds the amount consumed to maintain the jade itself.

This thing can be used as an energy refining material, or as a research material for life.

“This thing is large enough to be divided and used. The alchemists under your control can also try to use it. Moreover, because it is not a Dream Erosion item, it can even be used in conjunction with some specific Dream Erosion items.”

"Your description of 'useless' is quite conservative," Bai Mu sincerely commented on Lily's use of the word 'useless'.

"So, are you going to sell it?"

"Put it here for now, I'll cut off a piece and go ask the craftsman."

Bai Mu cut a piece off the jade, but encountered a lot of trouble in the process; this thing was too sturdy.

After cutting off a piece, Bai Mu went to the lower city.

"Not Dream Erosion Material?" The craftsman frowned slightly as he looked at what the white curtain had brought.

But he wasn't just looking at the Dream Erosion materials; the stereotype he had of White Curtain was that there were tons of Dream Erosion materials.

The sudden change to 'ordinary materials' is somewhat inconsistent with the character of Bai Mu.

However, after examining the material, the craftsman showed some surprise: "Biomaterial? That's interesting. If this stuff has the same source of energy, it could be used as a refiner and amplifier... Do you have any?"

Bai Mu shook his head: "No."

"That would be a bit troublesome to make use of; we would need to add some other steps. If we had Dream Erosion materials that could be converted into energy, we could make special weapons."

The craftsman pondered for a moment, then said, "However, we can try even without Dream Erosion materials, but the conversion rate won't be very high."

"This thing can actually be used to make weapons?"

The craftsman nodded: "Its strength is no less than that of steel, so why can't we make it? It must have taken you a lot of effort to cut this piece of material, right?"

The craftsman could tell how difficult it was to cut something just by looking at the edges of the material.

The white curtain was cut off by force; if it had been cut with professional equipment, the edges wouldn't be this rough.

However, its roughness also indicates that the quality of this product is really good.

"Indeed, this thing is quite sturdy, but I have enough weapons."

“I know you have enough weapons. This doesn’t necessarily need to be made into a melee weapon. But this quantity is too small. I’ll keep this material here for research. If you have any other plans, just come and find me.”

Craftsmen simply cannot resist new materials.

"Okay... what are you doing?" Bai Mu noticed that the craftsman had brought over a kettle.

"At first glance, this thing can be used as a water purifier."

As the craftsman spoke, he sprinkled something into the water and then placed the small piece of jade inside. The murky water quickly became clear.

The impurities in the water did not disappear; instead, they were squeezed to the edge of the kettle.

The craftsman reached out and touched the water in the kettle, then licked it.

"Highly purified water, excellent!"

Bai Mu immediately made a request: "Sculpt some small ornaments for me."

This thing is a poison-avoiding wonder!
