Chapter 286: Unreal City (55)

Instead of walking directly towards the town in front of him, Lin Yuan first felt his five senses.

Because he was in a dream, he felt that many things were separated by a layer, making them feel unreal.

But even so, he was still very satisfied.

Although it is unknown who the author of this dream is, the other party's dream is quite exquisite. He can feel the warmth when exposed to the sun and the roughness when touching the trees.

Even when walking on the road, you can feel the feedback from the ground, which makes this world seem very real.

With a thought, Lin Yuan felt that he had arrived in front of the city.

There are already quite a few monks who have been brought here in the city. Each of them is in a hurry, and it seems that they don’t want to waste time outside at all.

Just as he was about to follow these people in, the guard at the door stopped Lin Yuan and asked politely, "Fellow Daoist, is this your first time here?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The guard smiled politely and said, "Paradise City is a good place, I hope you have fun. Our city lord said that those who come here for the first time will be given 50,000 spirit stones as a reward. I hope you will have a good meal and a good time. If you are short of money, go to the city lord's mansion, and the city lord will find a way for you."

Afterwards, the other party directly handed over a storage bag, which contained 50,000 spirit stones.

If you didn't know that this was a dream, then you would be so happy to get 50,000 spirit stones as soon as you came in that you would go crazy.

Lin Yuan just entered with the storage bag and began to think about what the owner of this dream wanted.

As he entered the town, he found that it was bigger and more realistic than he had imagined.

The entire city should have a real prototype.

The rivers here are interconnected and serve as a natural means of dividing the town into different areas.

On the river, the fishermen who had just returned from fishing were all smiles. The partridges beside them stayed by the fishermen, quietly eating the small fish dinner they were given by the fishermen.

Street vendors are hawking their wares on the roadside, offering a variety of mouth-watering snacks.

The town is vivid and real, and there are endless entertainment options to keep you busy.

In the bookstore, there are all kinds of skills from various sects. If the disciples of Wanfa Sect saw them, they would probably faint from excitement on the spot, and then they would rush in to study eagerly.

Lin Yuan also went in immediately and looked at the books here happily for a long time, but after opening a book, he found that it was blank.

After seeing this, the bookstore owner came up to him with a smile and said, "My fellow Taoist, what book do you want to read? I'll find it for you."

"Hmm...did your wish come true?"

Making your wishes come true is one of the top-level magic techniques. After using it, you can make your wishes come true immediately. It is a legendary skill, and its authenticity cannot be confirmed now.

However, the boss just smiled and nodded, then took out a thread-bound book from the back, handed it to Lin Yuan, and said, "You can read it for a quarter of an hour. If you want to buy it, you will need 200,000 spirit stones."

"It's so expensive. If I watch it for a quarter of an hour, then go out and come back, can I watch it for another quarter of an hour?"

"Ok?"

The boss didn't seem to expect Lin Yuan to ask such a question. After a long pause, he said, "You can look at it for a quarter of an hour. If you want to buy it, you will need 200,000 spirit stones."

"Well, I see."

The same answer made Lin Yuan certain that the boss was not a living person, but a dummy created by a magic similar to the Wanxiang technique. They were like NPCs in the game who could only answer questions. Once they encountered a question beyond their cognitive scope, they could only repeat what they had said before.

After opening the thread-bound book, Lin Yuan found that the book was just as he expected, with no words in it.

With a regretful sigh, Lin Yuan was about to return the book to his boss when he heard a cultivator say, "Fellow Daoist, can you let me take a look at this book?"

Turning his head, Lin Yuan took a breath, because he saw a guy who looked exactly like him appear in front of him, asking him to borrow books.

He handed the book over in confusion, and found that the other party didn't seem to notice that they had the same face. He picked up the book and began to read it with great interest.

Although every page was blank, the other party was fascinated by it. After a quarter of an hour, he returned the book to the boss with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

"What a good book! It is indeed a wish come true. It is profound and extensive. It's a pity that I don't have enough money, otherwise I would buy it and read it slowly. Thank you, boss."

"You're too polite, fellow Taoist." The boss said with a smile.

Afterwards, the man with Lin Yuan's face continued to read other books, and finally happily bought a large number of Taoist books and went back to the inn to read.

After watching the other person leave, Lin Yuan could confirm that the other person was alive, but his behavior was a bit confusing.

Why does the other person look exactly like me?
It's obviously blank, so why can the other party see something?
This is a dream after all, and many things here have nothing to do with reality. It is a more subconscious and symbolic existence.

With this question in mind, Lin Yuan continued to wander around the city, and then discovered many unusual scenes here.

The time here was very slow, which was very similar to that in Shennong Valley. Lin Yuan felt that this might be in Dao Jue, so that time could be slowed down.

The food is edible, but it has a rather dry texture, like eating biscuits that have been buried in the desert for ten years. It doesn't taste very good.

Every food tastes the same, just slightly different in flavor.

If you taste the food carefully, you can still taste the different flavors, but it feels very bland and makes people feel uncomfortable eating it.

However, unlike himself, other monks seemed to like the food very much. They ate barbecue and drank wine one by one. Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, they would gather together and drink happily, looking quite comfortable.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan felt like a ghost, out of place with everything here.

But it is also because of this that he can be independent of this dream and see the abnormality of this dream.

The 50,000 spirit stones given at the beginning seemed like a lot, but in the dream where time was accelerated, they were very insignificant.

The cheapest Taoist book costs a few spirit stones, and high-level spells are ridiculously expensive, but there are still many people who buy them.

What they bought was not the Taoist books, but the feeling they got after reading the Taoist books. This feeling made them linger and unable to extricate themselves.

Every cultivator who comes here can find what he likes: things, Taoist books, magical instruments, spells, etc.

But behind these things, there is a very terrifying rule hidden.

Everything requires money.

The more advanced the item, the more money it costs, but the greater the excitement it brings.

So how does this dream deal with the problem of when the money is gone?

With this question in mind, Lin Yuan walked towards the center of the city, the City Lord's Mansion.
