Chapter 387 Collecting Dream Essence
Dachun became excited: "Okay, Ailian, you take good care of the house. If anything unusual happens, you take over..."

Ellen: “Got it!”

The next moment, Mina dragged Dachun out of her body, and the soul perspective appeared again in the surrounding rooms.

Dachun suddenly remembered something: "Mina, if we always have a dancer standing guard outside in spirit form, if another evil spirit appears to possess us, we can give advance warning, right?"

Mina said, "But this will also reveal that we have a dancer, right?"

Yeah, too!
Dachun looked around the dormitory and said, "Let's find the weakest one to sneak in first. Who is the weakest?"

Mina suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "These people are not weak. If there is a weakest one, it should be the one on the upper bunk over there. There are fluctuations in his head, which is a sign of mental instability."

Dachun was surprised: "So you mean to judge strength by fluctuations?"

Mina said, "It's a measure of mental stability. The more mentally stable a person is, the harder it is to infiltrate. Those with very unstable mental states will have a space gate appear above their heads."

I see! All serious criminals have some mental issues. Dachun immediately thought of the saying, "A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow." He couldn't just start messing with his roommates the moment he arrived.

"In that case, we can go to the dormitory for serious criminals first. Maybe it's more unstable there."

Mina said, "Master, what you said makes sense."

So the two souls passed through the bars on the door like the wind and flew directly into the depths of the dormitory, and then heard someone talking in front!

Dachun was suddenly startled. Was he discovered?

Mina was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's talking in your sleep! People who talk in their sleep are the most vulnerable. In the past, the old witch specifically asked us to steal those who talked in their sleep."

"Very good, it's him!"

The two souls followed the sound to the room where the man was talking in his sleep. Dachun looked at the room number, number 84! That's a pretty high ranking, right?
Entering the room through the window bars, I could hear snoring mixed with teeth grinding and talking in sleep. As expected, the people on the beds were all burly men with disabled limbs.

Dachun suddenly discovered that there was a space door above the head of everyone here!
Mina said in surprise: "These people are unstable, which makes it easy to enter! However, instability does not mean weak spirits, so we still have to be careful."

Stronger than spirit? I am still very confident.

Dachun enters, and the scene changes—System prompt: Warning! Your soul has entered the dream of serious criminal number S0331, so proceed with caution.

The scene changed, and suddenly it was a smoky and chaotic scene of a gunfight in a factory!
Dachun and Mina were shocked and quickly found a piece of equipment to squat down.

Mina said, "Master, the skills in reality can also be used in dreams."

Dachun is a master of space magic and master of invisibility for the great explorer profession. It can finally come in handy. He becomes invisible immediately!

At the same time, Mina took out a bottle similar to a spray, and a cloud of smoke of indescribable color covered her.

Huh? Dachun began to reflect on his life. He felt that if a single item could achieve his master-level invisibility, then he, the master, was somewhat...

Mina observed the situation for a moment. "It looks like there's a gang fight going on in Bronze City. This location should be the big scrap yard in the old city, or the slums of Bronze City."

Ah, indeed! There was a walkthrough during the public beta. While every city has its slums, Bronze City is the wildest, with all sorts of hand-modified mechanical guns made from recycled scrap, making players wonder if they're playing the same game.

At this moment, the factory building shook with the sound of a cannon, and a shiny object was blown out.

——Great Explorer Career Tips: Your master-level space treasure hunting skills have discovered traces of high-end treasures!

Holy crap! This is the first time I've seen a treasure since I became a great explorer!

Dachun asked quietly, "A treasure that can appear in a dream must be the essence of the dream, right?"

Mina said, "Of course. This is the prisoner's obsession. But master, don't act rashly. Observe the surrounding situation first. The key is to find the dreamer first and avoid being recognized by him."

Ah, I must not be recognized! Otherwise, he will give me trouble when he wakes up the next day.

The situation below is that various cyber warriors driving machines are rushing and killing each other around this shiny object, and people keep falling down.

Dachun could basically guess the reason for the dreamer's obsession. It was probably because he failed to snatch the treasure and was thrown into prison, so he must be filled with hatred even in his dreams, right?
Since he didn't get the treasure, there must be some guy who tried to steal it from him. So I should just find that guy and steal it from him, right?

As for the means of interception, of course the explorer has a professional skill called "risk avoidance"!

——Avoidance: The Great Explorer can consume half of his physical strength or mana to activate a spatial displacement.

This skill looked like a one-use teleport scroll borrowed from a mage—a pitiful sight. But it transcended classes, and could be activated with physical strength, an advantage a mage lacked in crucial moments. As long as he moved in close, a combination of a half-baked warrior's stun attack and an astrologer's predictive strikes would knock him unconscious with one punch...

Just as Dachun was thinking about tactics and looking around, a man with a shining body and extremely bravery finally jumped out!
Mina said, "It's the Dream Master!"

Dachun was stunned: "It's so bright and unique?"

Mina said, "Of course the dreamer imagines himself to be different from others."

Seeing that Master Meng had snatched the treasure, Dachun was not in a hurry at all. All his attention was focused on the surroundings - sure enough, a beam of laser-like object shot over!

Dachun couldn't believe it. Was this science fiction or magic?
Dachun looked in the direction of the laser and saw a unique character with blood all over his body, holding a crystal gun that was steaming with blood.

Needless to say, the dream master must have given the enemy villain special effects! As for this crystal gun, it really opened Dachun's eyes.

As the dreamer wailed and fell, the entire scene began to fluctuate violently and become blurred - the system prompted: The dream is about to disappear, please leave in time.

Huh? The dream disappeared! So his dream ended with him being seriously injured and losing his treasure? Then I wouldn't have had time to take his treasure!
Dachun asked in shock: "Mina, what should we do?"

Mina said, "Either save him and risk being recognized by him, and continue his dream. Or retreat now—I suggest you retreat, Master. After all, returning empty-handed is not uncommon."

Dachun's thoughts raced: So what if he recognized me? Maybe I have more followers! Coming back empty-handed was a bit hard to accept.

Dachun asked anxiously, "Can you save him?"

Mina smiled and said, "Master, I told you I used to be a doctor who worked part-time as a dancer in Oak City!"

Ah! Judging from her attitude, she's clearly leaning towards the treasure, but she's just being reserved and considering me...

Dachun said, "Then I'll go!"

Dachun immediately used a "safe haven" to move behind the bloody man and smashed down with a set of bare-handed heavy slashes! With the blessing of the predicted attack, he really hit a critical hit and stunned him, no, he knocked him down directly!
Damn, it has to be this way! In the soul state, high spirits mean you have power! He can't withstand my punch.

At the same time, Mina also pounced forward with great agility and instantly performed a set of hemostatic and paralyzing techniques!
The dream's collapse trend slowed down instantly!
Does this count as changing history? Dreams obviously don't count, but it can change his attitude towards me after he wakes up.

At this time, the Dream Master's seriously injured hand was still tightly grasping the ball of light. Dachun could see clearly that it was a crystal core engraved with magic circle patterns.

Meng Zhu stared at Dachun with wide eyes: "You, who?"

Dachun certainly didn't reach the point of directly naming the person: "The most famous person in the underworld."

This is probably not Dachun's bragging, after all, he has traveled through time for a hundred years.

The dreamer was stunned on the spot: "I am dreaming about knocking down Bafengte with one punch..." After that, he fainted, the crystal core in his hand loosened, and the whistle of a patrolman was heard outside the factory.

——System prompt: The dream is about to disappear...

Dachun didn't care about that and immediately grabbed the crystal core. Mina also immediately pulled Dachun - the scene changed, and Dachun appeared in the cell dormitory again.

Mina said, "Master, once the dream essence leaves the dreamer, it will disappear. Hurry and go back to settle it!"

"Oh, it's a must!"

After all, the last time I took the goods from the old witch's dream, all the essence turned into light, leaving only a dance hall that was an artifact-level building. Only the artifact is the strongest essence.

Fortunately, the prison was nearby, and Dachun returned to his body in a gust of wind.

Ailian was quite worried: "It's so fast, dear, are you okay?"

Mina was very proud: "Madam, this is a good harvest!"

Dachun spread out the treasure - the dream essence of the magic ray gun power crystal core.

It looks like a part of a Bronze City artifact-level firearm.

But Dachun was a little confused: "Can this thing be used as a real gun part?"

Mina said, "It can probably only be used in dreams! Even if it can't be used, the collection value of the essence itself can strengthen the owner's divine space. The more essence, the stronger the divine space."

She has said this many times.

Dachun felt that time was running out and that 8 hours of rest was too short, so he handed the essence to Ailian first and said, "Then I will continue to look for the essence!"

Mina smiled and said, "Master, I suggest you take a rest."

Ailian also said: "That's right, going in and out like this will be troublesome if you encounter a powerful person."

Well, that risk-avoidance move just now was indeed a bit of a waste of energy.

Dachun lay on the bed and rested while asking, "What kind of existence would discover us?"

Mina said solemnly, "Of course, there are also beings with separated souls, as well as some nightmare-like demons. But Master, don't panic. After a few more training sessions, I will probably be able to advance as well."

Dachun immediately remembered what the Pirate King had said before: "Almost becoming a succubus." His heart tightened. "Promoted to what?"

Mina sighed, "Of course it's a succubus, but mine is a dream charm, which actually has the same function as a nightmare. The difference is that a dream charm brings happiness to people in dreams, while a nightmare brings terror..."

It turned out to be that kind of "poor monk's name wet dream"...

Dachun felt a little uncomfortable: "Now I am your master, there is no need to follow the development path arranged by the old witch."

Mina smiled and said, "Of course, everything I do is to satisfy my master's wishes! Actually, as a doctor, I have the potential to transform myself. I just saved someone in my dream. This is the function of the Dream Angel Gabriel."

Ailian smiled: "Not bad, not bad, I can be a fake angel!"

Dachun's heart skipped a beat. Gabriel is also the name of one of the Ten Lords of Oak City, seemingly ranked tenth! If Gabriel possesses this Nightmare-like ability, then this Lord could launch an interdimensional attack against me! Therefore, until my divine domain is fully developed, he must not be extradited to Oak City.

I must not reveal my ability to leave my body. Otherwise, there is no doubt that the Ten Lords also have the advanced ability of soul tracking!

Dachun thought of something else: "Who is this Bafengte he was talking about just now?"

Mina shook her head. "I'm not sure. He might be a gangster. Generally speaking, unknown gangsters are either very weak and unknown, or very powerful and anonymous. It's probably the latter."

Perhaps, I could find a chance to ask the Ugly Emperor? Perhaps, I could get a clue from him that would lead to the Bronze Flower?
Just then, Dachun's cell phone rang. It was Zhou Qing.

Dachun answered immediately: "Hello, leader!"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Brother Chun, Kakaxian, the director of the Bronze City Royal Branch, is ready. Let's start with a big fireworks display at the church."

Dachun was stunned: "No way, it's so expensive right after arriving?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry. This abstract movement proposed by Chun Ge has really caught the attention of the bosses. Everyone is trying to find ways to play with abstract ideas. Speaking of which, starting tonight, the bosses have ordered midnight snacks for the frontline team members. Is this also considered a show of care from the abstract movement?"

Dachun smiled and said, "It's good to show your concern. Thank you for your help, brothers."

"Okay, Chun Ge, take your time."

After ending the call, Dachun's condition had almost recovered: "Mina, let's go!"

Ailian was still worried: "Be sure to be careful."

"Absolutely!"

Dachun thought for a moment and said, "I won't go to room 84 this time. Let's go to another cell."

To avoid problems with everyone in a cell, that would be like fleecing the whole prison population...

……

It is 2 a.m. Golden Continent time, and 2 a.m. Western time.

Metatron is still absorbed in his design in his personal laboratory.

At this moment, a firework exploded in the city.

Metatron immediately switched to the perspective of the puppet robot in front of him. He also received a report from his subordinates in the city: "Sir, Chinese players have gathered in large numbers at the Church City Lord's Mansion. They are wearing all kinds of strange clothes, have scribbled their motorcycles into a mess, and are even imitating Curry by using motorcycles to carry people..."

Metatron frowned. He would never think that this was the Chinese players' response to the Five Cities Flowers' art activities. Chinese players were particularly pragmatic and were indifferent to this activity from the first moment.

Metatron immediately thought of Dachun and immediately switched to the prison camera monitor, only to find that Dachun was offline and motionless. Replaying the video, he found that he was still offline and asleep the entire time.

Are they organizing players to cause trouble offline to save him?

The point is, big fireworks aren't cheap! This doesn't seem like a completely illogical or random thing to do, does it?

Metatron became interested and instructed his subordinates: "Monitor the movements of Chinese players throughout the entire process."

The subordinate asked, "Is it necessary to mobilize personnel to attack them and disrupt their operations?"

Metatron asked with a smile: "Whose personnel are being mobilized?"

"curry."

"can!"
