Dream Travel

Chapter 558 I'll Keep an Eye on You
If given the opportunity, the Maple Crown Republic would love to collect all the world's trash and eroded items, but limitations in transportation and information transmission speed affect the efficiency of the acquisition.

However, since they can acquire so much now, once everyone realizes what's happening, the remaining shares will be quickly divided up.

At that time, the Maple Crown Republic could also enter the fray and carve up this market, and those who made the first acquisitions would be considered extra gains.

As for not including them because of this?
That's a bit difficult. People only know that the Maple Crown Republic is buying up large quantities of junk Dream Erosion items, but they don't know why they're doing it.

To figure out the reason, you have to pay some price, right?

Many people are aware of the relevant information. Those who purchased Dream Erosion items were simply following orders and had no idea why the country was buying those items.

"You can take your time buying them up. In the future, the upgraded Dream Erosion items will be everywhere." Bai Mu could already imagine the golden age of Dream Erosion items in the future.

Previously considered top-tier Dream Erosion items are no longer considered top-tier without undergoing an upgrade. With a large base of such items, it's estimated that Dream Erosion items undergoing a second upgrade will gradually appear.

White Curtain was quite pleased with this, as many Dream Erosion items and Dream Creatures were difficult to use, and Dream Erosion ingredients were even more 'poisonous' to them.

If humans possess more and more powerful Dream Erosion artifacts, wouldn't the Dream Creatures have to behave themselves?
This is a good thing. As for the great chaos that may occur among humans afterward, that is an internal matter for humanity.

"Alright, I'm off now, I'm in a hurry!"

"Oh, right, this is our research report on a lot of testing. Would you like to see it?" Despite the impatient White Curtain, Borre ignored it and instead produced a report.

Bai Mu first discovered the function of the garbage dream-eroded items. Although it was a coincidence, it was obviously difficult for him to conduct further research on his own.

The bureau has the resources and manpower to study many details in a short period of time.

"Also, do you need any Dream Erosion items? If so, you can take a few from the warehouse."

"I don't lack it. If I do, I can just kill a few primal demons."

“…You’d better be careful.” Borei’s lips twitched slightly, and he decisively changed the subject.

Killing primal demons is certainly a good thing, but many primal demons have connections and backgrounds, so taking action against them could easily lead to trouble.

Bai Mu looked at the research report for a while; the report also included accompanying photos.

The Dreamwalker who participated in the research produced Dream Erosion Crystals of very good quality, some of which were even comparable to the high-quality Dream Erosion Crystals in his possession.

But most of them are only considered to be at a "good" level.

Moreover, the quantity obtained is not as good as his. If you bring Dream Erosion items into the Otherworld and leave them there, the quality and quantity of Dream Erosion Crystals you get will increase, but high-quality ones are rare.

However, if a Dream Erosion item is brought into another dream and destroyed, the quality and quantity of Dream Erosion Crystals brought out by the Dreamwalker will increase.

The former costs around ten yuan, while the latter can double that amount.

Among the doubled quantity, there are at least one or two high-quality Dream Erosion Crystals. However, too much of a good thing can be bad. If a Dreamwalker destroys too many Dream Erosion items, it will be a net loss.

Generally speaking, three or fewer items are the most suitable. Also, if the effects of the Dream Erosion items used are too similar, it will lead to a reduction in the Dream Erosion Crystals produced.

The exchange quota for each dream world is limited, just like a mine. If it's mined too much, the output will decrease, or even disappear completely.

Fortunately, in reality there are few other things but many different dreams. Once you've mined enough from one dream mine, you can switch to a new one.

This method can also increase the success rate of bringing out Dream Erosion items.

However, doing so will lead to a sharp decrease in the number of Dream Erosion Crystals, and it may even make it difficult to produce high-quality Dream Erosion Crystals.

Hmm... it's still not as good as myself, but I could foresee this kind of profit. The future will be the golden age of Dream Erosion items.

Large quantities of junk and eroded items can also become high-value hard currency, like gold.

By 'replacing' trash dream-eroded items within alternate dreams, the number of powerful dream-eroded items in reality will increase.

However, no matter how powerful the Dream Erosion items are, they are still external objects. One can not only possess these external objects, but also rapidly enhance one's inner strength.

"I understand." After leaving the report, which could not be taken away or disclosed, Bai Mu quickly left Bo Lei's office.

This guy isn't even old enough yet, and he already has a ton of things to do. When he gets older, who knows, he'll probably have 'one more thing to do' every day.

Bai Mu first went to Alexei's Dream, where the head of the logistics division obviously didn't know how to use Dream-Eroded items.

The Bureau of Handling the Matter maintained a high level of secrecy regarding this matter, and the White Curtain, upon arriving, acted without restraint, destroying two Dream Erosion items near Alexei's starting point when no one was paying attention.

After that, he left Yimeng with the resources prepared by the branch manager.

Alexei's vision is on track, the country's development and construction are progressing rapidly, and it may enter the information society in a few decades.

This is something reality can hardly keep up with, after all, reality has a bunch of dream creatures holding us back.

It took half a day for Bai Mu to speedrun through all the alternate dreams, and the last one was River's alternate dream.

In this strange dream, he stayed for a longer time, and when he went there, he even made a special trip to Evefeya to ask Denise what she thought.

Should Claire leave or stay in the Otherworld?

Denise responded without hesitation, of course, by bringing Claire into reality.

There are better educational and living conditions here, and Claire didn't have many ties back there, so she came.

Evefeya's situation didn't affect Dinesa. Dinesa had plenty of options. Evefeya had helped her make connections, allowing her to establish contact with the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

With this connection, settling Claire in is easy.

Denise didn't come along; she trusted Bai Mu and didn't want him to cause too much trouble in this matter.

"Brother Bai Mu, can I really learn this?" Rive looked at the 'technique' that Bai Mu had taught her, her brows furrowed in deep thought.

This was a method she had never encountered before, but after seeing the demonstration on the white screen, she studied it diligently, though it was somewhat difficult. Her talent was already quite good, and with the added advantage of her starting point, River learned everything very quickly.

Even if the identity is fabricated by Bai Mu, with the instruction of professionals, others cannot detect any flaws in their demeanor.

However, Ruifu, who learns everything quickly, was stunned after Bai Mu pulled out the Thousand Mountains Technique.

She couldn't learn it right away, even though it was clearly very simple.

"It's alright, I'll teach you up to the basics."

"Really?" Rivers' eyes lit up.

Time flies in the dream world. The girl has now grown into a graceful young woman. After she stopped being withdrawn, she has become more well-rounded as she has grown up.

The intelligent girl even thought of many things: Bai Mu's identity was unusual, and the people around him were also unusual.

Although the people around her change frequently, they treat her like a star surrounded by the moon, regarding her as someone very important.

But was she really a princess of a fallen kingdom?

She used to think that way, but now she doesn't.

But even if she wasn't a princess of a fallen kingdom, it wouldn't matter, right? Bai Mu's kindness to her and the help he gave her were genuine.

Even now, the knowledge he teaches himself is something Bai Mu has mastered himself.

Bai Mu said she was a princess of a fallen kingdom, so that's who she is.

"But you can't be lazy, that's very important."

"...Okay, if I can learn it quickly, could you stay a few more days, Brother Bai Mu?"

"That's fine. Is there anything else?"

"Yes, I want to go and explore other places."

"No problem, we can set off now."

The head of the processing bureau in Luoguduo City had some concerns about this matter, but when she thought about the new information sent by the processing bureau, she agreed.

The White Curtain is very powerful, and in addition, there are no awakened beings on this island; at most, it's just a bunch of demons hiding somewhere waiting to die.

It's fine if Bai Mu takes River to other places to explore.

"Brother Bai Mu, when can I visit the places you've been to?" Rui Fu asked Bai Mu softly on a mountain peak.

She was very free in Luoguduo City, but she rarely left the city.

"It's difficult, but I'll find a way to let you see it later." Bai Mu was also thinking about how to help the source of the strange dream break free from the strange dream normally.

The source of the dream is not the original inhabitant of the dream, so the methods used to make the original inhabitants leave are difficult to apply to the source of the dream.

While there are real-world examples of dream sources awakening, they are far too few; otherwise, the dream graveyard wouldn't be growing so much.

Bai Mu wasn't sure if Rivers could wake up from the dream, but he could make sure Rivers had a better time in the dream...

With her identity as a different dream source and the added advantage of the starting point, even if her physique is not from Shan Qifeng's world, she can slowly hone her skills in the Thousand Mountains Technique.

Besides, Rivera also has the Meteorite Earring. If she can't physically defeat the enemy, she can simply become a Grand Magister.

With multiple safeguards, as long as she doesn't act recklessly, she can live for decades or even centuries, then find a place to live in seclusion and become a witch.

Bai Mu has no shortage of knowledge, and as for the future arrangements for Rui Fu, he can simply purchase a makeshift hospital himself and take Rui Fu away from the processing bureau.

"I will keep an eye on you."

"Brother Bai Mu, you're so kind." Looking at the rising sun in the distance, Rivera leaned against Bai Mu and stretched out her small hand: "I think I've learned it..."

The air seemed to distort slightly within River's outstretched palm.

"That's good, but don't get too excited. Qianshan's real journey begins after the fifth level; everything before that is just laying the foundation."

Rivera nodded, then asked hesitantly, "Should we go back?"

"There's still a week left, what's the point of going back?"

There aren't many fun places on this small, run-down island, but a week can pass quickly if you explore on foot.

After sending River, who had had her fill of fun, back to Luoguduo City, Bai Mu left with Claire, who had been 'dealt with'.

The process was the same as before: the soul stone preserved the soul, and Bai Mu directly took away the body that had lost its soul. He didn't use the Qiankun bag; he still used the old method to take the person away.

For the other greatsword warriors, Claire's departure was at Teresa's request.

Teresa went to Evereya's side, and now she wants Claire to go there too. The greatsword warriors here all understand.

Denise didn't come in person, but she sent a letter through White Curtain.

That's enough. Both White Curtain and Evefeya are benefactors to the Claymores. Without them, the Claymores would not have been able to get rid of the problems that have been troubling them.

The fact that Bai Mu took Claire away did not cause much of a stir in the city of Luoguduo.

As the area develops and improves, the greatswordsmen all have their own things to do, making their lives much more fulfilling than before when they only knew how to hunt monsters.
