Dream Travel

Chapter 489: Profiteer

"I also discovered a particular target."

After putting on the new hair clip in front of the mirror, Kuroko said to Shiromu.

Is it special?

"She's a bit different from those other people. She's not very old, and she's interested in the Dream Experience Store, but that's not her purpose. She doesn't come there often."

"...It looks familiar, but what are its distinguishing features?"

"Platinum hair, around fourteen or fifteen years old?" Black Eyes thought for a moment and described Philomia's simple features: "Is she related to the manager of the experience store?"

The other person's hair color is similar to Lily's.

"Oh, I think I know who it is. I'll handle this."

Bai Mu didn't mention that Hei Tong had brought this up too late, making him have to make another trip. In this place without internet entertainment, one trip was fine, and Bai Mu didn't find it troublesome.

Perhaps the timing was wrong, but Bai Mu didn't see any diligent nuns cleaning the monastery.

He didn't barge directly into the monastery, since it wasn't very open to outsiders.

Bai Mu waited there for a while, and when he saw that the child inside had noticed him, he waved to him.

"Are you... here to see Sister Mia?" the child asked uncertainly.

Bai Mu hadn't been here for a long time, so his impression of Bai Mu was very faint.

"Isn't she here?"

"Yes, I'm going to find Sister Mia." After seeing the white-clad weapon box, the child seemed to remember something.

A person who carries such a large suitcase is very distinctive.

The child, remembering his identity as Bai Mu, immediately went to find Philomia.

Not long after, the little nun ran out. When she saw that it was a white curtain, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.

"I'm so glad you're alright."

"You've been quite busy lately, haven't you been reading the newspaper?"

“Yes, I saw it.” Philomia nodded, then asked Bai Mu with some curiosity, “How did you get the Maple Crown Medal?”

"It was like going to hell and taking care of some things."

Bai Mu said with a smile.

Philomia pouted slightly: "That's just like what the newspaper said. Wait for me a moment."

After the little nun finished speaking, she jogged back to her room and somewhat laboriously handed a box to Bai Mu, saying, "Take these things."

The white curtain lifted the heavy box that was very heavy for the little nun and looked inside. It was filled with holy water and other small items.

"Thank you."

The young nun smiled and said, "Sister Asha said you would be antagonized by the devil because of that incident, and I hope these things will be of use to you."

"Aunt Asha is back?"

The young nun nodded and whispered, "Not only is she back, but she's also become much younger."

Gossip is something both men and women enjoy, and since the little nun had said so, it inevitably piqued Bai Mu's curiosity. He asked, "What's going on?"

"Granny Asha also went to deal with the Hellish Dreams. When she came back, she looked much younger. Haven't you noticed?"

The little nun was clearly talking about the same thing that had happened before the white curtain was drawn.

Bai Mu shook his head: "It's actually better not to have encountered it. Hellish Dreams are dangerous, and leaving them is even more troublesome."

He hadn't expected that Granny Asha would also be involved in dealing with the Hellish Dream.

Judging from the little nun's words, the Maple Crown Republic clearly still has a conscience, even if it means letting the old lady go back to work.

Some method was used to restore Sister Asha to her physical condition.

"That matter about the Hellish Dreams..."

The young nun shook her head: "Sister Asha doesn't want to make a fuss about this, nor does she want too many people to know that she was involved."

Clearly, Sister Asha chose to keep a low profile regarding this glorious event.

The white curtain can understand this; it disrupted the demon's important operation, and the demon will definitely seek revenge.

Sister Asha has many concerns; not to mention anything else, the convent itself is an easy target.

"I'm trying to deal with the trouble left by the demon. Hmm... I'll come back in a while. I live near the Dream Experience Store."

Bai Mu pretended not to know that the little nun had been near the Dream Experience Store and told her his address.

The young nun nodded, indicating that she had made a mental note of it.

After the white curtain disappeared, Philomia turned around and bumped into a figure.

"Oh, Aunt Asha, when did you arrive?"

“Just now,” Sister Asha said, looking at the energetic young nun in front of her, “I was about to check your homework, but I found you weren’t in your room, so I came out to check on you.”

“It’s Bai Mu who’s here. This time he didn’t force anything on us,” Philomia quickly explained.

As always, Rota Monastery lacks nothing and doesn't really need outside donations.

Sister Asha nodded and asked Philomia, "What else did he say?"

Philomia hesitated slightly before recounting that the White Curtain had given her her address. Sister Asha frowned slightly, and seeing this, Philomia quickly continued, "He also said he would try to resolve the trouble left behind by the demons."

The trouble left behind by the devil? Sister Asha's furrowed brows relaxed. The trouble left behind by the devil was not so easy to solve.

Demons have been entrenched in reality for a long time, and even if Bai Mu really wanted to do that, he would inevitably face a lot of resistance from fellow humans.

However, it's commendable that Bai Mu has this idea; he's a very promising young man.

"Unless he comes here on his own initiative, don't sneak out again." Sister Asha stopped talking about the White Curtain and instead reminded the little sister Philomia.

Philomia quickly nodded and said guiltily, "I know, Aunt Asha."

"Hmm." Aunt Asha walked towards Philomia's room: "Go and let me see your homework first."

"it is good……"

Philomia followed with small steps. Ever since Sister Asha returned, the requirements for homework had become much stricter, as if Rota was no longer safe.

Back home, Bai Mu, completely unharmed, lazily lay on the sofa, intending to take a nap.

But before he could close his eyes for long, someone sat down next to him. Bai Mu opened his eyes and saw Leone.

"Why are you sleeping here?" Leone asked White Curtain, somewhat puzzled.

Bai Mu yawned slightly: "It's not cold, it's the same sleeping there."

He reached out and patted Leone on the shoulder: "I'll go somewhere else."

"You're not planning to go out again, are you?" Leone asked curiously, seeing that Bai Mu was still planning to catch up on sleep.

"I've already taken a nap, why would I go out?" Bai Mu said casually.

Leone laughed: "That's good~"

Seeing the provocative look on her face, Mine, who had come back with her, put down her suitcase, gave a soft hum, and then her gaze fell on a small box on the table.

"Did you prepare this?" She picked up a small hair clip and examined it; it looked like a work of art.

"A hair clip made of Dustless Jade can purify water... Oh, I haven't read Beatrice's test report yet, please wait a moment."

White Curtain sat up and went to the alchemy workshop.

While Atresia was still fiddling with her body, she stopped what she was doing when she saw Bai Mu arrive and handed him a report.

Then he said, "I'd also like to have Lafayette's body examined as well."

"Is she unharmed?" Bai Mu asked while looking at the report.

“But having participated in a high-intensity battle, it’s best to get checked out.” Atresia also had her reasons.

Bai Mu nodded, returned to the living room, picked up the weapon case, and released Lahuana's body.

During the battle, Raphael's body played a significant role. The demonized body, combined with the enhanced Dream Erosion effect of the weapon box, greatly increased the combat power of this body.

In addition, the pilot had a perfect fit with her body, so she held her own against the guardians.

Even if the battle drags on, killing them might not be impossible.

The main reason is that Raphael's demonic aura membrane is enhanced by demonic power, making it even more effective.

As the battle progressed, his understanding of the guardians' combat techniques deepened, allowing him to more accurately predict their next attack.

At that point, they would have no chance to fight.

However, before the battle could proceed to that point, 'Shan Qiming' was hit by the old man Shan Qifeng's powerful attack, forcing Bai Mu to prematurely withdraw Lahuana's body.

"You can check it first." After reading the report, Bai Mu returned to the living room.

Beatrice thoroughly tested the 'purification' effect of the Dustless Jade.

The report is very detailed. The 'purification' of the Dustless Jade is not a conventional purification, but rather a repulsion.

The reason why the water is turned into pure water is that the water is affected by the dustless jade, leaving only the 'water' part, and other things mixed in the water are excluded from the water's range.

When water is in a container, all kinds of impurities in the water will be affected by the dustless jade and thus repelled to the edge of the container.

The impurities that were pushed to the edge of the container were also affected by the dustless jade, repelling other impurities.

Water is one type of impurity, only it makes up a larger proportion of the impurities.

During her test, Atreus used some alchemical poison, and through the influence of the Dustless Jade, she easily extracted the alchemical poison, which had been diluted with water, completely.

It can even be used to further purify alchemical poisons using the Dustless Jade.

However, the purified alchemical poison will become much thicker, and to make it usable, it still needs to be mixed with enough water.

"What a swindler!" Bai Mu couldn't help but exclaim after reading the report.

Leone looked at the white screen with a puzzled expression: "Who is it? That Lily?"

“It’s also possible that she really didn’t know?” Bai Mu nodded, trying to find a way to explain things up for Lily, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this possibility was unlikely.

Lily probably didn't expect it, but it's unlikely she did.

She has a keen sense for many products. How could Lily not squeeze the maximum value out of the Dustless Jade in her hands?
But Lily's work ethic remains impeccable.

She wanted the Dustless Jade, and she had made it clear in advance that she would only use half of it at most.

Whether or not to use the remaining half will be discussed with Bai Mu in advance; she's too good at it.
