I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

In most cases, the safe zone won't have this many visitors.

A level 2 safe zone can normally only connect to three nightmares, and a nightmare usually only has one or two, or three or four dreamers.

It's rare to have more than four people.

Unless you stumble upon a large nightmare area.

However, large-scale nightmares are even rarer in shallower areas.

However, this time, several members of the safe zone happened to coincide with the "Dream Fall Period," so the safe zone became even more lively, and soon nearly thirty people gathered together.

Furthermore, some dream sufferers are not present, but are training or exploring nightmares.

"It can't be called a coincidence."

"Members in the safe zone, such as Xuanjian, Xixue, Jiang Peng, and Taozi, all carry Dream-Dying Pearls with them to prolong their Dream-Dying time."

"Although other Dream Fallers do not have Dream Fallen Pearls and are unlikely to spend money to rent such a treasure, as long as the member is still in the Nightmare World, the safe zone is equivalent to connecting to another Nightmare World."

Connecting to seven or eight nightmare worlds at the same time, how could there not be many people?

One person who had fallen into a nightmare lamented, "If so many of us could enter a nightmare world at the same time, wouldn't we be able to conquer any nightmare?"

But he also knew that everyone present was actually living through different nightmares.

But Shi An felt that this was not impossible.

Obtaining membership cards is not difficult. In the future, when there are dozens or even hundreds of members in the entire safe zone, it will not be difficult to gather a group of strong individuals to attack high-level nightmares.

And such a future is not far off.

……

Shi An did not show up; Fa Gui was the one maintaining order at the scene.

He was just listening in quietly as the store manager.

"Even among those who suffer from dream-related illnesses, many have their own unique insights into the use of magical artifacts!"

"I see. Doing it this way can effectively reduce the energy consumption when using magical items."

"Some cursed objects are compatible with each other, while others are incompatible."

At the scene, people who were in a dream occasionally came to their senses.

The powerful figure, the mysterious master, and the great shopkeeper in their eyes suddenly realized the truth.

Shi An had only been in the "Dream Circle" for a short time; he was an even newer than Xiao K.

He gradually learned the common sense that many dream sufferers talked about, just as these geniuses did.

Besides,

At this point, what many people were saying was not ordinary knowledge, but rather more profound content.

Of course, those who fall into dreams cannot reveal all their secrets on the spot; many still keep their most treasured secrets to themselves.

Even so, many dream sufferers exclaimed that it was an eye-opening experience.

"Is this level of knowledge something we can listen to for free?"

"Thanks to the experts who contributed these advanced techniques."

"It's mainly thanks to the store manager that we have this platform; otherwise, it would be difficult for us to get together like this and speak freely."

……

Training Room Number One.

Shi An arrived here to verify some of the spell usage techniques he had just heard.

Just now, Fa Gui and Xuan Jian also talked about the opportunity, steps, and things to pay attention to when refining cursed objects.

This information is actually semi-public to the Countermeasures Bureau. If a Dream Faller reaches the peak of the Control Stage, they will gradually learn about this to some extent.

But it's nowhere near as skillful as the storytelling techniques of Xuanjian and Fagui.

They combined their insights from their own breakthroughs, which is invaluable.

"Speaking of the opportunity, after several days of persistence and hard work, I have become extremely proficient in controlling the invisible corridor. I am almost just one opportunity away from refining this cursed dream object in one go."

"But should I choose the Invisible Corridor as my natal cursed object?"

The Invisible Corridor is a rare and precious magical artifact.

Xuanjian and Xixue's natal cursed artifacts are only at the complete level.

But he, the store manager, doesn't follow the conventional path of a dreamer.

"Incomplete, Complete, Rare, and above Rare, there are Excellent, Epic, and Legendary!"

Epic and legendary cursed artifacts exist almost exclusively in legends.

Shi An speculated that the Baijiang Countermeasures Bureau might have a superior-grade cursed artifact at its headquarters.

Other dreamers, constrained by the need to gain power more quickly, often acquire only incomplete or complete first-grade cursed items as their natal artifacts. However, Shopkeeper Shi An has plenty of time and opportunities to obtain higher-grade cursed artifacts.

"Shall we refine a more advanced cursed artifact?"

"But it seems that this innate cursed object does not necessarily have to pursue an infinitely high grade."

Shi An had some understanding of the realms above the Refining stage.

When a dreamer refines three natal magical artifacts that resonate with the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit, and their physical strength and will meet the requirements, they can ignite their life force, transforming themselves from a mortal to a superhuman.

That is what is extraordinary.

Only when humans reach this level can they truly wield special powers.

In the past, during the era of the Dreamers, they merely used cursed objects to exert their power.

"It is said that those in the Transcendent Realm inevitably possess a certain characteristic/passive ability. For example, there is a Transcendental trait called 'Protective Fire,' which allows the Transcendent to instinctively transform the injured area into flames when they are harmed, in order to avoid or withstand the damage."

"Once you reach the extraordinary realm, the threat of real-world firearms is greatly reduced. In a peaceful world, with a little effort, you could avoid eating beef."

Shi An aspires to the extraordinary.

It is said that there are multiple ranks of extraordinary beings, and those of higher ranks wield power that the Dreamers cannot even imagine or dare to dream of.

The Refining Stage is the crucial phase that determines whether one can reach the extraordinary level.

"The four stages of a Dreamer are actually not even the first three stages. The Refinement stage is when one truly begins."

"At this stage, the Dreamer refines their natal cursed object, transforming it into their own cursed power organ, and begins to wield cursed power and manipulate curses, possessing the true power to fight against the strange."

Therefore, in reality, the combat strength of a seasoned first-level cultivator and an unrestricted, strange being is roughly equal.

What about the second stage of cultivation?

It's not as simple as just having an extra cursed organ.

Second-level cultivators possess greater reserves of incantation power, and the second natal incantation artifact they refine is often stronger than the first.

Not to mention that those in the second and third refinement realms have even richer foundations and possess multiple spell techniques.

But it's also strange.

Ordinary supernatural phenomena are calamities that most dream sufferers cannot overcome, but there are even more terrifying existences among the supernatural phenomena.

Deep within the nightmare lies a terror that even those in the transcendent realm tremble with fear.

Those are too far away.

Shi An flipped through the documents.

"Most experts at the Refinement Realm will only acquire a complete natal curse item as their first item, but for their second item, they will do everything in their power to find a rare curse item that suits them."

"Only those who possess at least one rare-grade natal curse artifact have the possibility of breaking through to the extraordinary realm."

"Top-tier experts at the Third Refinement Realm all possess a complete, rare, and exceptional configuration."

Shi An can start with rare items.

That's right, he still felt it wasn't enough.
