I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Chapter 105 Employee Number Three Has Been Found (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Shi An ultimately didn't get much of a chance to shine.

Of course, he wasn't a vulgar person; compared to showing off, slacking off suited him better.

"I never expected that there would actually be a safe zone gate right here in this nightmare."

"Unexpected, yet also reasonable."

After all, besides Shi An himself, there were twelve other Dream Fallers present. And after talking with each other, these Dream Fallers discovered that four of them had been to the safe zone.

Four prospective members of the safe zone!

At this number, the probability of resonance reaching the safe zone and opening the passage is indeed much higher than for a single person.

Among the thirteen, Shi An and another Dream Faller were among those who had heard of the safe zone but had never been there.

More than half of the remaining people had never heard of any safe zone.

But this time is different from when Xixue and the others were.

At that time, among the dozen or so people who had fallen into the dream, only Xi Xue had been to the safe zone. No matter how realistic her description was, the others would still be skeptical.

Now, many people have been to the safe zone, and their vivid descriptions have already piqued the curiosity of others. Even if some of the dreamers present are still skeptical, they won't raise their doubts openly.

The first person to speak was a man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing black overalls and holding a pair of pliers.

His code name is "Level 8 Master Fitter," and he is a newly promoted master of the Control stage.

He said, "Our top priority now is to find the safe zone camp while ensuring our own safety. I see that three of our brothers have been to the safe zone before, so the probability of us encountering it is still quite high."

Among the crowd, some of the dreamers who had been to the safe zone were puzzled.

The fitter explained, "Someone once asked the shopkeeper, and he definitely answered that the probability of us Dreamers encountering the camp again after being in the safe zone is much higher than that of others."

"Based on this theory, a big shot codenamed 'Old Wang with a bushy beard' tried it out. He used a team-up tool to invite three other Dreamers who had also been to the safe zone. They all fell into the dream at the same time, and sure enough, they found the safe zone."

"Now, that bearded old man is already a member-level expert."

Two prospective members who had previously been unaware of the situation suddenly realized what was happening.

"So there's a trick to it!"

This was, after all, a massive nightmare, and the dreamers dared not linger in place for too long. They immediately began to move slowly, exploring their surroundings.

Shi An knew where the gate to his safe zone was, but there was no indication of it.

Anyway, as long as the safe zone connects to this nightmare, the team will be able to find it sooner or later.

After all, this team's overall strength is not weak.

Of the four prospective members, the eighth-level master fitter and two others are newly promoted to the mastery stage, while the remaining one is at the fusion stage of perfect perfection.

They hadn't used the training room yet, and they couldn't get a turn.

Even so, several prospective members have managed to conquer at least one Nightmare difficulty by taking advantage of the safe zone's location and the three-piece strategy guide.

They thus made a breakthrough.

This is a change brought about by the safe zone. Otherwise, these individuals would at most be relatively experienced Dream Fallers in the Integration Stage.

However, among the Dreamers outside of the few prospective members, there are also experts.

Shi An is a master.

cough!

But aside from himself, there were two or three other people around him who also seemed extraordinary.

One of them, in particular, was a young man who wore a fisherman's hat and a scarf around his neck and looked quite unremarkable.

"Control stage, or refining stage?"

..

Cheng Ping's public identity is that of an ordinary, seasoned dreamer.

In reality, he was already considered a super big shot by the vast majority of Dream Fallers, a Refinement Stage expert.

He is used to keeping a low profile.

He can be considered a semi-folk dreamer.

The reason I say "half" is because he works for the Countermeasures Bureau, but he is not part of the Bureau's core department, the Dream Chaser Team. Within the Countermeasures Bureau, Cheng Ping is just an inconspicuous Integration Stage cultivator, not some kind of expert.

Cheng Ping was even unwilling to give himself a code name, believing that people with code names were too much like experts, so he only gave himself an ordinary pseudonym.

Pretending to be mediocre is Cheng Ping's habit. Since his school days, he has always kept his grades at an average level to blend in with the crowd.

The world of the Dreamers is so dangerous that it is even more necessary to hide one's strength.

Even so, Cheng Ping remained arrogant.

He believed that he was no worse than the weakest vice-captains in the Countermeasures Bureau.

"Once I advance further and become one of the top deputy captains, I can tell the bureau that I have entered the control phase."

Cheng Ping was also looking around.

The large nightmare was indeed dangerous, but he also discovered that the team was quite strong.

"With the strength of our team, surviving for only a few hours in a major nightmare is sufficient. Is it really necessary to risk going for that so-called safe zone?"

Cheng Ping had been a powerful figure who had been trapped in a nightmare for several months. He had experienced all sorts of nightmares, fought against strange beings head-on, encountered campfire camps built by lost people, and even seen strange buildings from his nightmares.

He had never heard of a safe zone in the past few months.

Is a place he's never even heard of really that magical?

Cheng Ping was skeptical, but since he was currently portrayed as a Dreamer in the Fusion stage, he naturally wouldn't question it. He simply followed the Level 8 Fitter leader and continued to explore.

This nightmare is shrouded in gray mist, with withered trees growing within it.

Occasionally, a terrifying shadow can be seen flashing by in the gray fog.

A roar came from the depths of the gray fog, chilling the heart.

During this time, a strange figure rushed out from the gray fog, but was repelled by several skilled fitters, and they narrowly escaped a calamity.

"This massive nightmare seems very similar to—very similar to the Contaminated Spring Nightmare that Xuanjian and his team previously tackled!"

Shi An pondered to himself.

He had always had high hopes for the large-scale Gomez project.

Whether it's blueprints or eerie employees, the probability of a major nightmare being shipped out is very high.

"Before the Ancient Village District was destroyed, the Dreamers in the safe zone actually conquered the Nightmare of the Contaminated Spring once again. However, unsurprisingly, the rewards from the second Nightmare conquest were several levels lower."

The "Employee: Fallen Spring Spirit" option that Shi An was eagerly anticipating did not appear.

Shi An was very regretful that he hadn't been able to recruit the Fallen Spring Spirit back then.

During the time since conquering the ancient village nightmare, Shi An has received the reward of the "Contractual Strange Employee" option.

But now he's become more selective about his strange employees; Shi An wasn't satisfied with either of the two strange employee recruitment attempts that occurred.

One time it was an employee's snotty face.

One time was when an employee drowned.

In the early days, Shi An recruited people in a strange way, just to have them. At that time, he was extremely lacking in combat power and a sense of security.

However, the most vulnerable period for him as the store manager has passed, and he is not in a hurry to hire one or two more strange employees. Therefore, careful selection is necessary.

The first recruited Blood Handprint was actually quite good. Its skills included both offense and defense, and it could even transform into a blood mist and rainbow light to fly into the sky, making it equivalent to an SSR among ordinary monsters.

Whether the snotty ghost or the drowning ghost is stronger or weaker, Shi An isn't quite sure, but at least—

Their appearance is unacceptable!

Used for close-fitting protection?

Dah!

Assign them to patrol within the safe zone?

This directly lowers the prestige of the safe zone.

"The Surplice was recruited from a special nightmare location, and as expected, it is quite powerful and has a rather nice appearance."

If Shi An hadn't prevented Mei from showing up in the safe zone, Mei would actually be a better fit as a shop employee than Xiao Xue.

He believed that the supernatural beings that could be recruited by a large nightmare must be extremely powerful.

Of course, the image may not be the same.

And now—

"If this nightmare is similar to the Polluted Spring, is it possible for me to recruit the Fallen Spring Spirit here?"

Shi An couldn't help but feel hopeful.

"Found it! That's the safe zone!"

The level eight fitter suddenly let out a low cry, and most of the pressure on his body was immediately relieved.

Once we find the safe zone, the game is practically won!

The shop stood amidst the dead trees, completely out of place with its surroundings.

-

But the few dreamers who had been to the safe zone were used to it. He took three steps at a time and pushed the door open to enter.

"Ding-a-ling!"

The bell jingled.

Wu Qing, who was greeting guests in the lobby, was somewhat surprised by the large number of people present.

She said, "Welcome to the safe zone. For those who are here for the first time, please take a look at the newcomer guide. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us."

Several regulars in the safe zone were somewhat surprised.

Has the safe zone changed again?

Did the store manager expand the safe zone?

Were they hiring staff at the store yesterday?

Upon learning that a job fair had been held the previous day, the fitter and his colleagues were filled with regret.

"If only we had reached the safe zone yesterday! What a pity, what a shame!"

"yes!"

Cheng Ping didn't quite understand why the master fitter and the others were so eager to become ordinary employees.

They're not lost souls, so they shouldn't be that dependent on the camp.

However, he now understood why the fitter and the others said that as long as they found the safe zone, this nightmare would be over.

"This safe zone is indeed impressive; it's very sophisticated, and I can't figure it out."

"According to them, the people who fall into nightmares in the store come from multiple nightmare areas, thanks to the power of the safe zone."

"In that case, the safe zone is indeed extremely safe. Even if some strange thing were to break in, so many Dreamers could easily overwhelm it with a single move each."

Although Cheng Ping was very confident in his abilities, he was always on guard against bizarre attacks outside, but here he could rest and relax. Of course, he couldn't wait to come to a safe zone like this.

You can lie down now.

But the Level 8 Master Fitter said, "Now that we've found the safe zone, the next step is to tackle the Nightmare. This is a massive Nightmare; if we can conquer it, we'll make a fortune, and we might even get a membership!"

"Wait, conquering a massive nightmare? Us?"

Cheng Ping, along with several other dream sufferers, stared wide-eyed.

We're playing a massive nightmare?

But the master fitter seemed unfazed, saying, "This is a new era. There are definitely techniques to conquering nightmares. First, let's find some strong reinforcements."
