Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 336 "South"

Since expressing her thoughts to An Xiaoqian last time, she has become less deliberate, and their daily interactions have become less stimulating and more natural.

Compared to before, the number of times the two kiss, hug, and lift each other up has decreased significantly, now only thirty to fifty times a day, showing great restraint.

Having made plans in advance, the couple did not schedule any film or television productions this year, allowing them to enjoy a very leisurely and carefree daily life.

Aside from some post-production work required for "Frozen," the rest was nothing more than award ceremonies and photo opportunities—things that were essentially optional.

As time went on, Hu Xiaobei's control and understanding of his own abilities became increasingly profound.

Take "Transformation" as an example. Combining supercomputing, data panels, and limit-breaking capabilities, Hu Xiaobei can now convert one Transformation slot into six.

Given his current strength, this is already his limit.

To achieve the ideal level of countless differentiations, one must continuously evolve and strengthen oneself.

Although the current re-differentiated Shadow Transformations have certain limitations, with the help of auxiliary capabilities such as the Shadow Data Panel, these Shadow Transformations also possess almost unlimited growth potential.

In view of this, Hu Xiaobei took out one Shadow Transformation slot, divided it into six Shadow Data Panels, and sent them to different time-space planes using his Limit Breaking ability.

Three of the shadow data panels were sent to the world inhabited by higher-dimensional beings, while the fate of the other three shadow data panels depended on luck.

If it could be sent to a world of cultivation, science fiction, superpowers, or high-level martial arts, that would be even better.

Of course, if they are sent to some low-level martial arts world or parallel world, that is the luck of other Shadow Transformers.

There are two remaining usable Shadow Transformation slots. We will not differentiate them for now, but wait until we are stronger before differentiating them.

Furthermore, after completing the analysis of Liu Xiaoli's ability to control her dreams and mastering it to a certain extent.

By combining his limit-breaking ability with his dream control ability, Hu Xiaobei is now able to connect with dreams in other time-space dimensions within his own dream world, allowing him to explore new worlds.

Compared to relying on the six shadow data panels that depend on luck, exploring other worlds through dreams is a more efficient and safer method.

After all, in the dream world, he doesn't need to devote all his mental energy. He only needs to use his abilities to enhance his mental energy, which is at the level of an ordinary person, to freely explore the dream world.

This amount of mental energy is less than one percent of his total mental energy.

Even if an accident occurs in his dream, it won't harm his core.

In the dream world, a person's strength is not directly revealed.

Because those who can travel through the dream world are mostly cautious and low-key, rarely revealing their true strength to the outside world.

However, one thing will never change!
The larger the scale of a dream realm, the more complete its legal system, and the more difficult it is for others to penetrate, the more powerful its creator is.

Hu Xiaobei's shadow is inherently a yin-oriented, spiritual ability, and it can exert great power even in dreams.

Therefore, after getting used to it for a while, he would basically use his own avatar to travel in the dream world every night.

In this way, the risk factor of the dream world is almost negligible for him.

Whether it's breaking through time and space boundaries or connecting to other time and space dimensions through the dream world, it will basically follow the fundamental laws of blood ties and cause and effect.

In other words, if there are people or things in another world who are related to Hu Xiaobei by blood, or who have an important causal relationship with him, then...

Therefore, when traversing time and space in a dream and connecting to other time and space planes, he will most likely prioritize traversing and connecting to the time and space plane to which such beings belong.

In the dream worlds of other time and space, Hu Xiaobei experienced many interesting things and met all sorts of people.

Among them was one who could be considered the strongest being he had encountered in the dream world—codenamed "Nan".

The dream world constructed by "Nan" is vast and boundless, with a near-perfect system of laws.

Even more astonishingly, this dream world became a "second world" for his real world.

In the real world where "Nan" is located, everyone regards this dream world as a virtual world of future technology, where they study, entertain themselves, live, and even work.

Speaking of which, he has quite a connection with "South," after all, his code name in the dream world is "North."

I don’t know if it was for this reason that the two of them were able to become acquainted.

According to "Nan," the real world he lived in was an ordinary technological world.

I don't know why!

Overnight, a sudden global evolutionary frenzy swept across the land, causing countless humans to mutate and become mindless zombies.

With their powerful technology and organizational collaboration, they quickly established a defense line and wiped out the zombies one by one.

The crisis seemed to have passed, but they underestimated the power of this global evolutionary frenzy. Plants broke through growth limits, and vines spread like giant pythons, devouring everything in their path.

The animals' bodies continued to expand, and their intelligence also increased rapidly, giving them abilities and aggression far exceeding those of the past.

Every full moon night, these evolved creatures will launch a frenzied attack on the places where humans live.

Wherever they go, cities are destroyed and human civilization teeters on the brink of collapse.

A disaster far more severe and terrifying than the zombie crisis has quietly descended upon us.

At the critical moment, "South" stepped forward and used its immense power to build countless indestructible ice walls in a short period of time, buying humanity precious breathing time.

After that, humanity gradually stabilized the situation, using various evolved organisms as resources to continuously strengthen itself.

In addition, the insectoid race from another world launched a relentless invasion offensive against the world where "Nan" is located.

Fortunately, "Nan" was strong enough to almost single-handedly wipe out the invading Zerg.

But the passage between the two worlds remains open, and the fearless Zerg continue their relentless invasion.

To break the deadlock, "Nan" constructed a "second world" in the dream world to support humanity, help people break through evolutionary bottlenecks, and enhance their overall strength.

Only after that did the situation gradually stabilize, and humanity even gained the ability to launch a counterattack against the Zerg world.

In the real world where "Nan" exists, there are countless evolved beings, superhumans, and evolved creatures.

Furthermore, evolutionary crystals that can directly enhance ordinary people can also be obtained by killing various evolved creatures.

"Nan" not only possesses countless supernatural abilities, but also has the ability to create evolution energy balls.

The evolutionary energy spheres he creates can not only enhance the evolutionary level of humans and other organisms in the real world, but can also be used directly in the dream world.

For some unknown reason, Hu Xiaobei and "Nan" hit it off immediately and had a very pleasant conversation.

The two not only exchanged a lot of information, but also reached a deal, promising to share what they had.

Hu Xiaobei originally intended to use his abilities such as lightning, limb regeneration, and super-adaptability to make a deal with "Nan".

Unfortunately, "Nan" had already mastered these abilities and was highly skilled at them.

Fortunately, the same ability manifests itself in different ways in different worlds, which made it easy to complete the first transaction.

In fact, even if the two do not make a deal for the time being, they can still exchange ideas on these abilities and deepen their understanding of each other.

Of course, everyone left room for maneuver, and the transactions for the time being were all insignificant and would not affect their own abilities.

After roaming through the dream world of "South," Hu Xiaobei realized that the degree to which his spatial abilities and dream abilities were integrated and developed was actually quite low.

Whether or not he will create his own dream virtual world like "Nan" in the future is another matter, but at least he will take the path of combining space and dreams with reality.

He already possesses the abilities of space and dreams. With the support of his previous perception and supercomputing abilities, combining the two is not difficult; it just requires some time and effort.

Compared to that, he was more interested in unraveling the mysteries of the virtual-real evolution energy sphere, a special energy currency created by "Nan" based on the evolution crystal core.

Different levels of virtual and real evolution energy orbs contain varying amounts of energy, which can enhance the evolutionary level of organisms at different levels.

Hu Xiaobei simply used a sound wave ability he had researched to exchange for some virtual and real evolution energy balls of different levels.

Out of caution, he did not use it on the spot, but put it in his personal space and only took it out to study when he returned to his home field.

While it's called research, it's actually just using abilities like Shadow Manipulation to reverse the process, allowing him to quickly uncover the secrets of these evolutionary energy orbs and optimize them.

It has to be said that the shadow ability is really powerful and incredibly buggy.

After transforming, enhancing, and studying various virtual and real evolution energy balls, Hu Xiaobei quickly understood and mastered the method of making virtual and real evolution energy balls.

However, his world did not have evolutionary crystal cores, so even if he mastered the production method, he could not create an identical evolutionary energy ball.

However, he possesses abilities such as Shadow Devouring, which allows him to transform ordinary food and energy into alternative evolutionary energy orbs.

This effectively makes up for the functional shortcomings of the shadow data panel and solves the previous defect of not being able to "add points in deep blue".

Moreover, although the optimized virtual-real evolution energy ball structure is different, its quality is higher than the original version.

Hu Xiaobei could also sell the optimized virtual-real evolution energy ball structure back to "Nan". It is believed that "Nan", who is wealthy and capable, would not mind this deal.
