Dream Travel

Chapter 554 The Real Dangerous Equipment

Bai Mu went to the craftsman to pick up the goods and received the newly made box.

This thing is a foldable and compressible box with dust-free jade inside. When needed, it can be used as a water purifier or a purification device.

When used for camouflage, it can be folded into the shape of a suitcase, and can also be unfolded like a shield. However, the craftsman warned White Curtain not to try to block too many attacks.

It's fine for blocking ordinary firearms, but if you encounter a more powerful attack, you should use the original weapon case to block it.

"This is enough." Bai Mu tested the feel of the new box; compared to the original weapon box, this box was much lighter.

It also has a folding function, so you can put it away without exposing the storage bag when you go to a narrow place.

After saying goodbye to the craftsman, Bai Mu went home. He was quite free now. Chelsea went out to collect Dream Erosion items, and Lily was no longer in Rota City.

There's a fox spirit in the house, but she's too young to hurt him, even though in the other person's eyes he's still just a child.

So Bai Mu went to the Great Desert whenever he had free time, taking two Dream Erosion items with him.

On the other side of the great desert, Bai Mu specifically went to find the source of the strange dream called Zeflin.

Release the dream items, then give Zefferin some things that don't belong to that world, including the life-extending potions that Beatrice can make.

The longer a source of another dream lives in another dream, the more impactful it will be.

Moreover, Zefrin in this alternate dream world has participated in solving the meteorite problem and is already in a high position.

Those who live longer have a greater influence.

As for the Dream-Eroded items he brought, White Curtain did not hand them over to Zeflin. He threw one into the antique market and forcibly smashed the other.

Then White Curtain took out some research data from the Dream Erosion storage disk and left it for the indigenous people.

After completing these tasks, Bai Mu did not linger in this strange dream for long and quickly left.

Having learned his lesson and been fooled, Bai Mu initially thought this alternate dream was like other alternate dreams, where time flowed quickly. However, the actual situation was the opposite.

So when Bai Mu came back here, he didn't waste any time. He quickly finished his business and ran away to avoid wasting too much time.

"Boss, can you give me a stable environment? I promise I won't run away." Back in reality, Beatrice picked up a watch buried in the sand and checked the time.

The dream associated with Zeflin, the source of the dream, has returned to normal.

Only a dozen minutes had passed in reality, but they had been stuck in the dream world for several hours, which was a fairly standard time difference.

"No." White Curtain rejected Beatrice's suggestion.

Beatrice was still somewhat unwilling to give up. She really wanted to conduct her research in peace and quiet, because the more she studied nerve enhancement, the more interesting it became.

If used properly, that kind of product can help her achieve both inner and outer beauty.

Putting aside other factors, the ability to solidify the body's state through enhanced nerve function is something that many other modifications cannot compare to.

That solidification doesn't mean fixing the body's state to a certain degree without change, but rather fixing the lower limit!
As long as the improvement in physical fitness is not temporary but based on one's own physical condition and can be achieved normally, the enhanced nerves can solidify it.

As long as no functional impairment occurs, no amount of laxity will cause the body's condition to fall below this lower limit.

Including overeating, staying up late to do other things, in a sense, strengthening the nerves can make the owner ignore the effects of many chronic toxins.

As for the problem of weak will due to external factors... Willpower and influential spiritual power are related, but the connection is not that profound.

A person with a strong will may not necessarily have strong mental strength, and someone with strong mental strength may not necessarily have a strong will.

Willpower is related to mental strength, but the role of willpower is to change the 'structure' of mental strength.

Even if a person with a strong will doesn't have strong mental power, their mental power is like a diamond due to the structural influence brought about by their strong will.

Conversely, those with strong mental strength but weak willpower have mental strength that is like water or even cotton – seemingly large in volume, but lacking in structural strength.

However, no matter how insufficient the structural strength is, a large quantity can make up for the lack of structural strength.

For those who use nerve-strengthening devices, as long as they have a sufficient foundation of mental strength from the beginning, the effect of the device will not be affected even if their willpower declines later.

If she had obtained this thing decades earlier, she wouldn't have needed to make so many modifications to her body.

"Could I go into the Qiankun Bag?" Beatrice asked, offering a different suggestion as she helped Bai Mu clean up the Dream Erosion Crystals on the ground.

Although the space inside the Qiankun Bag was not large, she was willing to accept it as long as she could conduct normal research inside.

Bai Mu calculated the number of Dream Erosion Crystals he had obtained: eighty-nine... With two Dream Erosion items and some technological knowledge from other worlds, the harvest was not bad.

In a good mood, she said to Beatrice, "Let's give it a try."

As she spoke, Bai Mu stuffed Beatrice into the Dream Erosion Bag. When the bag was opened, a 'mini' Beatrice could be seen inside.

The other party inside showed a peaceful expression. The white curtain closed the Qiankun Bag, shook it, and then opened it again, revealing that the phantom of Beatrice inside had vanished.

No, it can't be said that it disappeared. The moment the bag was opened, Bai Mu, with his excellent dynamic vision, saw a wisp of white mist dissipating inside.

He summoned Beatrice back to life, and the alchemist looked somewhat bewildered: "What just happened?"

"Missing memories?"

Beatrice shook her head: "The moment you closed the bag, I knew nothing more, and then you summoned me back."

"It's probably due to the Dream Erosion effect." The white curtain did not release the summons to Beatrice, and Beatrice's phantom was forcibly dispelled because of the 'containment' effect of the Dream Erosion Bag.

The phantom needs the weapon box to maintain itself, and the containment effect can completely seal the things inside. When the white curtain closes the Qiankun Bag, it's like unplugging Beatrice's internet cable.

Beatrice's hopes were dashed, and she was heartbroken. Since following the White Curtain, she had never spent more than a month researching anything.

"With this, you can use your alchemy equipment anytime."

“It’s very damaging to one’s inspiration.” Beatrice still had a headache. Wasn’t the point of continuous research to grasp that fleeting inspiration?
"I'll get you a laptop. Write down any inspirations you have and help me develop them."

Bai Mu took out the Starfall Gloves, and Beatrice sighed, readily agreeing to help Bai Mu enhance the Dream Erosion items.

One high-quality Dream Erosion Crystal after another was consumed, and the faint light emanating from the Starfall Gloves grew stronger and stronger.

It took using Dream Erosion Crystals up to 82 pieces for the Starfall Gloves to reach the level of secondary sublimation.

Seeing this, Beatrice quickly stopped and took two steps back. Although she had seen this scene before, she was cautious and would not have been relaxed about the item undergoing its second sublimation.

The faint light emitted by the meteorite gloves affected her vision, and she could vaguely see a touch of darkness and starlight in the bright desert.

While Beatrice was still lost in thought, Bai Mu reached out and hoisted her up, quickly carrying her away from where they were before she could react.

"Could you try a gentler position?" Beatrice was in a lot of discomfort being carried.

Bai Mu carried her like a pig.

"Someone is coming; there's no time to be so gentle."

The white curtain, holding the meteorite gloves, gave a perfunctory reply.

The second-generation Starfall Gloves made him eager to try out their effects.

The environment was a vast desert, and it was broad daylight with scorching sun, so it was a good opportunity to test the effects of this stuff.

During testing, the normal energy consumption of the Meteorite Gloves did not change significantly, still consuming a maximum of about 15% of the user's strength per use.

The difference is that when summoning meteors before, after reaching the consumption limit, Bai Mu would either hold back and wait for a suitable opportunity to release them, or release them instantly.

If you cancel, the energy consumed will not be refunded.

Now he can 'charge up', and even after reaching the normal consumption limit, he can continue to hold back and charge up.

Charging up... This thing is really powerful. It's included in the game for balance reasons, so sometimes the benefits of charging up might not be that great.

Reality is different. Seeing a falling meteorite, Bai Mu immediately took out a weapon case and held it in front of him. The shockwave from the meteorite hitting the ground swept over and crashed into the weapon case.

Bai Mu felt a heavy mental pressure; the weapon box's normal defense seemed weaker than before.
"Cough cough, what's going on this time?!" Startled, Beatrice clung tightly to the white curtain, shrinking into her arms. Even the weapon box that had blocked the shockwave couldn't give her a sense of security.

"I've become stronger," Bai Mu replied matter-of-factly.

In Lei Tianba's alternate dream, he was most likely to be tricked by those gods and demons, but he still got everything he was entitled to.

The full upgrade made him significantly stronger.

Furthermore, with the Meteorite Gloves now capable of charging up power after its second upgrade, the summoned meteorites become even more exaggerated.

If he were to go a little crazy, he could summon a meteorite towards a certain city...

Oh, that's terrible.

The effects of Dream Erosion items are greatly enhanced after sublimation, and undergo a qualitative change after a second sublimation.

The Meteorite Gloves might not be as powerful in other people's hands, but in his hands they are a perfect match!

Although his stamina has a limit, due to the Dream-Eating Mushroom, this limit is only the limit of his instantaneous output.

If his satiety reserves are high enough, then his stamina limit is like a BOSS's health bar. It looks like one bar, but there are ×N after the health bar.

"What happened?" Near the Hellish Realm, the garrison detected an unusual tremor.

The source of the vibration is far away, but what could be causing the tremor to travel this far?
The army has increased its vigilance; this is a critical period for dealing with the Hellish Realm, and there can be no other changes.
