Learn one small skill every day

Hu Muyao listened to Zhao Wanyang for a long time before finally interjecting, "We can temporarily pull your mind from the depths of the nightmare to the surface. In this situation, the nightmare can't affect you."

"I think I understand now. In other words, the strategies you mentioned in the dream about the Liu family were indeed effective, but in the end, I didn't follow your methods."

Hu Muyao shook his head: "We only know that we entered your dream, but we forgot the specifics of what we said to you inside. At most, we have a general impression."

Bai Miao was taken aback: "Did you fall asleep before using that shield?"

Zhao Wanyang quickly replied, "Yes, we used that shield while we were asleep to combine our dreams. This was also the advice given by those neuroscience experts, who said that the brain's frequency of fluctuations should be kept within the same range. The frequency is different when we are awake and asleep, so we can't send you messages."

"Yesterday, the experts decided to send you a signal that is completely opposite to the brainwaves you have when you are dreaming, hoping to wake you up in this way. It seems to be really effective."

Hu Muyao's brows gradually relaxed. If Bai Miao fell into a nightmare and never woke up because of the psychoanalysis he was doing to improve his mental strength, Hu Muyao would feel extremely guilty.

"Oh...I understand, anyway, thank you."

Bai Miao never expected that after he was trapped in a nightmare, so many people would be working hard to wake him up.

"I need to go and thank Uncle Yu and the others in person."

Bai Miao discovered that even after lying down for ten days, he felt no discomfort, and the benefits of improved physical condition were now evident.

"Knowing you were awake, Professor Wang went to buy some food, and Uncle Yu was also planning to come over."

Zhao Wanyang also called out to Uncle Yu.

"Just lie still and wait for them to come."

Hu Muyao also reminded him, taking out an apple from his prop space: "Would you like to eat some fruit first? I'll peel an apple for you."

"Let's eat cherries instead. We can just wash them and eat them directly." Zhao Wanyang also took out the fruit she had prepared from her prop backpack and placed it in front of Bai Miao.

Since the 1.2 version update, which added more items to the shop, Knockmen Network has also enabled the function of directly storing real-world items into the system's inventory.

However, it requires in-game currency. 10 points can rent 1 cubic meter of space for 1 day, and it costs an additional 5 points to put in or take out items.

It's quite a good deal.

"Let me show you that."

Bai Miao grabbed the apple, dislocated his jaw with a snap, stuffed the whole apple into his mouth in one go, then controlled his jaw to return to its place, used his powerful bite force to crush the apple in his mouth, and swallowed it.

"belch."

Seeing the two women's terrified eyes, Bai Miao explained, "This is called swallowing an apple."

As he spoke, Bai Miao picked up a cherry again and placed it on the tip of his tongue.

"This is called..."

"I told everyone to stop eating like that!"

Zhao Wanyang was on the verge of collapse.

Hu Muyao was somewhat stunned, feeling as if his worldview had been refreshed.

However, considering that there are all sorts of strange things in the dungeon, it's reasonable that Bai Miao knows this.

After convincing himself to accept Bai Miao's actions, Hu Muyao took out a watermelon and handed it to Bai Miao with some anticipation: "Is this... okay too?"

"...This really won't work."

"That's good. I'll cut the melon, let's eat together."

Hu Muyao took out a small knife and quickly cut the watermelon into several pieces, which he then gave to Bai Miao and Zhao Wanyang.

"Thank you."

Although Bai Miao was enjoying the melon, he felt like he had lost.

Surprisingly, I didn't learn the skill of swallowing a watermelon whole.

Thinking about the skills, Bai Miao realized that he hadn't drawn any for today.

Of the times I drew the lottery in my dreams, except for the time when I was still in a nightmare and eating instant noodles through my nostrils, the other times it seemed to work.

Perhaps because I was already at the surface level of consciousness and had established a connection with the system, even if the thought of extracting a skill arose in my mind, the system would complete the extraction for that day.

Congratulations on winning the skill: Perfect Pitch!

[Perfect pitch has been upgraded to LV2!]

For Bai Miao right now, it's more profitable to draw duplicate skills in reality.

Only when your skill level increases can you develop a wide variety of uses.

Even if you're eating instant noodles through your nostrils, leveling it up to the maximum level might still give it a different purpose.

In addition, Bai Miao discovered that he had acquired another strange prop.

A dark, curled-up tail.

Didn't I cut this thing down myself?

Is it also a prop?

Furthermore, that place was located in the space between reality and dreams, somewhat like being between the spiritual and the real.

Logically speaking, this tail is not a physical object, so how did I manage to put it into my backpack?

Bai Miao felt that he had vaguely touched the barrier between mental transformation and reality.

The system also provides information about this tail.

Nightmare Touch

[Description: One of the tentacles of the Lord of Dreams.]

The Lord of Dreams draws the energy he needs from dreams using his roots, but some of his tentacles have their own ideas.

Use the tentacle to attack, causing mental damage. Both the attacker and the attacked must make a mental judgment; if the judgment fails, they will fall into a nightmare.

The Lord of Dreams controls people's dreams, able to bestow both beautiful and nightmare dreams, but it hasn't bestowed beautiful dreams for a long time.

[Status: Excellent (100%)]

[Rating: He]

Upon seeing the information about this "tail," Bai Miao's first thought was, "If even a tail is He-level, then using the entire Dream Overlord to refine it into a magic weapon would definitely create an Aleph item."

But it's just a thought.

Now, does it seem like something's wrong with the Lord of Dreams?

Bai Miao kept this in mind; putting all that aside, this tentacle was a very powerful control weapon.

It's just a matter of hurting the enemy a thousand while also losing a thousand of your own.

But Bai Miao is now extremely familiar with nightmares. With experience, as long as his mental judgment time is shorter than the opponent's, he can use this time difference to kill the opponent directly.

While the three were eating melon seeds together, Wang Xiang knocked on the door and only entered the house after receiving a response.

"Oh, you've started eating already. You haven't eaten for so many days, you must be starving."

Wang Xiang walked to the bedside with a smile and took out two buckets of KFC family buckets.

"Eat something high in calories to replenish your body."

"Professor Wang, buying this is a brilliant idea of ​​yours."

Bai Miao had just gotten up, but because of the abundant soil from the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, he wasn't hungry at all.

But who can resist fried chicken?

"It was my suggestion!"

Zhao Wanyang proudly puffed out her chest.

"Eat up, you two have worked hard these past few days."

At Wang Xiang's invitation, Hu Muyao somewhat awkwardly picked up a piece of chicken and started eating.

"Is it inappropriate for us to eat like this in the hospital room?"

Halfway through the meal, Bai Miao belatedly asked.

"It's alright. You can decorate this private room however you like. Besides, Uncle Yu will come over after we've finished talking here."

Zhao Wanyang stuffed a mouthful of cola into her mouth and took a sip: "By the way, the college entrance exam is coming up soon. You haven't been studying for so many days, are you still in good form?"

"Even though I may have become weaker, don't think you're invincible."

After lying down for ten days, Bai Miao felt that it wouldn't affect his performance. Besides, he had already increased his intelligence to 30 points, so dealing with the college entrance examination would be a piece of cake.

Hu Muyao could only feel envious.

The college entrance exam is in about two weeks. I've barely managed to get 130 points in math so far. I wonder if I can push myself one last time.

After a hearty meal, Bai Miao cleaned up all the trash in the ward and told Hu Muyao that Uncle Yu could come over.

Ten minutes later, Yu Yingcai appeared at the door of the ward.

"Xiao Miao, congratulations on waking up. I was so worried about you these past few days."

"Thank you for taking care of me, Uncle Yu."

"No need to thank us. This incident has also given us some experience in dealing with the gate."

Yu Yingcai was in a good mood, partly because Bai Miao was safe and sound, and partly because many of his ideas had been validated.

"Speaking of which, did anything major happen during the days I was unconscious? Ten days feels like a long time."

Yu Yingcai did not shy away from the question: "These past few days we have passed a resolution that is for the sake of the future."

"So, you're saying you can give us some information now?"

Zhao Wanyang was also curious, her gossipy nature stirring within her.

"It has something to do with you too."

Yu Yingcai paused for a moment: "We have decided to build a new school to cultivate potential future door knockers, as well as the backbone of those door knockers."

Bai Miao gasped upon hearing this.

That was incredibly fast.

"What does this school mainly teach?"

"Teach all survival skills that might be useful inside the door."
