I'm a male god in Liyue

Hidden effect: When entering a dream state, mental energy recovery speed increases by 50%.

Recyclable: 100 points.

This is an extraordinary item related to dreams, and its effects involve multiple layers of dreams.

Xia Zhi wasn't very familiar with this. After thinking for a moment, he searched for a book called "Basic Knowledge of Dreams" in the [Shop], spent 1 point to buy it, and his remaining points became 26.

He opened the book and read it carefully.

The first layer of dreams is the shallow layer of dreams, which is also the dream layer as commonly understood. Most people dream during sleep at this level.

The first layer of dreams has a fixed time flow rate that differs from reality, with a ratio of 1:12. That is, one night in reality is equivalent to six days and six nights in the dream.

The second layer of the dream is a deep dream, and only people with relatively strong mental strength can occasionally enter this layer of the dream when they are dreaming. Its time flow ratio with the first layer of the dream is also 1:12.

The book also mentions the third and fourth layers of dreams, but the deeper you go, the higher the requirements for mental strength become, making them practically forbidden zones.

Xia Zhi closed the book, having roughly figured out the existence of the dream world.

Currently, this [Dream Pillow] has three uses for him.

First, it gives him more time, allowing him to freely practice and perform many things that are inconvenient for him during the day in his dreams.

Secondly, it allows him to collect some special products from the dream world, such as twilight mushrooms, which can be directly recycled or kept as alchemy materials to further increase his point acquisition.

Third, it allows him to refine more incense, as its hidden effect can accelerate the recovery of mental energy.

Overall, this gold item is quite good.

Xia Zhi took out the [Blazing Incense Burner] again, bought three sets of raw materials from the [Shop], and continued to refine [Joyful Incense] until his mental energy was depleted.

He put away the [Burning Incense Burner], walked over and lay down on the bed, replaced his original pillow with the [Dream Pillow], closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

A moment later, Xia Zhi opened his eyes and found himself standing on the dock of Liyue Harbor.

"My eyes...recovered in my dream?"

Xia Zhi turned his head and looked at the magnificent blue sea and sky in the distance. He paused for a moment, then laughed.

"It's such a long-lost feeling. The view from twenty meters away is really beautiful... Is this my dream? What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. I never thought that what I've been thinking about all this time would be this sea view."

Xia Zhi stood there for a few minutes before turning around and seeing that the dock was deserted.

"It was so quiet in my dream, I couldn't see a single person. Does that mean I subconsciously don't welcome others?"

Xia Zhi tried it, and he could still bring up the system panel in his dream, and the items in his inventory were still there, and he could even take them out and use them normally.

"Let's go back to the shop first. That's the place I know best, and it's also where the dream atmosphere is strongest. We should be able to find some Twilight Mushrooms there."

Xia Zhi walked straight towards his own shop and quickly returned to it.

There was no one inside; it was eerily quiet.

Xia Zhi searched carefully and found one Twilight Mushroom in the front hall, one in the bathroom, and two in his bedroom.

There are four flowers in total. If they are recycled directly, they will be worth 4 points, which is already half of yesterday's points income.

The main point is that this acquisition is completely cost-free and is pure income.

Xia Zhi put them away with satisfaction, walked out of the store, and decided to look for them "outside".

The "outside" here refers to the outside of the dream.

After all, dreams are based on memories, and memories have limitations, which means that dreams cannot be infinitely large. He can get out of the dream as long as he keeps walking in one direction.

Xia Zhi walked out of the shop and headed towards the outskirts of Liyue City along the street.

The direction of this city gate is not the direction he entered the city from. Logically speaking, he should have no memory of the area outside the city.

Sure enough, when Xia Zhi stepped out of the city gate, the scenery around him changed.

Before him appeared countless colorful bubbles of all sizes; these were the dreams the people of Liyue were having tonight.

According to the book "Basic Knowledge of Dreams", warm-colored bubbles mean pleasant dreams, while cool-colored bubbles mean nightmares.

Xia Zhi glanced curiously at the two dream bubbles closest to her.

As expected, the larger cyan bubble should be Shen He's dream, and the smaller scarlet bubble should be Zhu Zi's dream.

Blue represents fear, while scarlet represents joy.

Xia Zhi withdrew his gaze, choosing not to pry into their privacy, and continued walking forward. He then randomly picked a passerby's warm-colored dream bubble and reached out his hand to it.

A strange attraction swept over him, and Xia Zhi's vision blurred for a moment. Just as he was about to enter a new dream, he suddenly heard a distant and intermittent woman's voice in his ear.

"World... Heritage..."

Chapter 78 When in doubt, turn to spending money

The view before us is a bountiful wheat field.

The wind blows across the fields, creating rolling golden waves of wheat, a truly magnificent sight.

Xia Zhi stood on the edge of the field, looking up at the sky, and frowned slightly as he recalled the mysterious voice he had just heard.

"World... Heritage..."

This sentence seems incomplete; it's unclear whether she didn't finish speaking or if the sentence was missing during transmission.

Who is speaking? A being dwelling in a dream? Or a dream traveler like myself?

To whom was she confiding? Was she trying to seduce her? Or was she pleading for help?

Xia Zhi thought for a while, shook his head, and decided to ignore the matter.

He was, after all, just a newbie who came to the dream to pick mushrooms; he only wanted to pick mushrooms and didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Xia Zhi looked down at the vast wheat field in front of him, his expression becoming somewhat troubled.

There's grass everywhere here, it's so hard to find mushrooms.

When in doubt, just spend money.

Xia Zhi opened the system panel and searched for an item in the [Shop].

[Find the Lost Item Compass]

Quality: Silver

Type: Assistive devices.

Features: None.

Effect: If there is a supernatural item of quality no higher than silver nearby, the compass needle will point in the direction of that item (the closest one).

Hidden effects: None.

Price: 20 points.

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment and then bought it.

A small compass appeared in his hand.

It had a long chain hanging from the outside, making it look like a black pocket watch, but it had no markings inside, only a gold hand.

Xia Zhi lowered his head and watched the pointer slowly turn, finally fixing its direction to his right front.

This means that there exists an extraordinary material over there.

Perhaps it's a twilight mushroom, or perhaps it's some other dream material.

Following the pointer's guidance, Xia Zhi walked along and finally found a black mushroom inside the wheat field.

He put the mushroom into his inventory, and the pointer of the [Item Finder] slowly started to turn again, this time to the left front.

Xia Zhi continued to search according to its instructions and finally found two twilight mushrooms in this wheat field dream.

Net income of 2 points.

Xia Zhi walked out of the wheat field and headed in one direction until he soon emerged from the dream.

Countless colorful bubbles of all sizes reappeared before my eyes.

Xia Zhi did not immediately proceed to the next dream, but stood still and waited quietly for almost half an hour.

But he never heard the strange woman's voice again during that time.

It's like that time it was just an auditory hallucination.

Xia Zhi gave up waiting, randomly chose a dream, and reached out to touch it.

A strange attraction drew him into an unfamiliar dream once again.

……

The next morning, Xia Zhi woke up from her dream, opened her gray, lifeless eyes, and found herself in complete darkness.

"I can't see... I'm back to reality..."

Xia Zhi leaned against the headboard, feeling quite well, yet also experiencing some inexplicable discomfort.

This is a side effect of dream wandering.
