Big Capitalist

In Merlin's dream world, although there is some pain feedback, it is only at the level of a street fight between thugs and is definitely not particularly painful or fatal.

Bartlett Long was so frightened when he saw half of his HP disappear in an instant.

"Oh no, why is this guy so fierce!" He secretly groaned in his heart, and then realized that he had underestimated his enemy.

At this moment, Bartlett Long was filled with fear and just wanted to escape from this terrible opponent as quickly as possible.

He struggled to stand up, turned around and tried to escape.

But how could the giant goblin let him go so easily? It roared angrily and threw the mace towards Bartlett Dragon.

Bartlett Long had no time to dodge. With a "bang", he was hit by a stick and flew out.

With a scream, his HP dropped to zero and he fell deep into Loran, ending this short and embarrassing battle.

"Wow——" Bartlett Long woke up from the dream world. He suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for breath, as if he was still immersed in the thrill just now.

His mother and father, who were always watching him, saw him wake up and immediately came over nervously, asking with concern, "Son, what's going on?"

When Bartlett Long heard his mother and father's questions, his face turned red and he groaned in his heart.

How could he dare to tell the truth? He couldn't say that he hadn't even met Merlin and was beaten to death by a goblin. How embarrassing it would be if this got out!

I am the future hope of the Red Dragon Clan!

Bartlett Long took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Don't worry, father, mother, I'm fine."

After a pause, he continued, "The evil Merlin tore a piece of space in the realm of consciousness and used his soul to receive the power of that so-called Arcane Academy. He suppressed our spiritual power and created many monsters. I must defeat those monsters and continue to grow stronger before I can defeat the evil Merlin."

As he spoke, Bartlett Long told everything he knew.

When the Red Dragon Chief and the Red Dragon Mother heard what Bartlett Long said, they looked at each other and seemed to understand the seriousness of the matter.

Bartlett Long's father frowned and spoke slowly, "No wonder Lady Ysera raised the reward so high. Merlin is indeed difficult to deal with. He actually created a world that can suppress soul power. But fortunately, Lady Ysera also provided you with help, giving you the opportunity to become stronger in the dream world. Son, this is an opportunity, but also a challenge!"

Bartlett Long felt the power of his soul and was surprised to find that after Merlin's death in the dream, he was not injured and even became a little stronger.

Even though that point is very weak, like a drop in the ocean, it is still a real improvement in strength!

Bartlett Long quickly told his parents about this.

Upon hearing this, the Red Dragon Chief's eyes flashed with relief, and he said, "This may be Lady Ysera's protection of you, and entering the dream world will definitely be beneficial to your soul. In this case, son, you must seize this opportunity, work hard to become stronger, and be sure to defeat Merlin and bring glory to our Red Dragon Clan!"

"I won't let my father down!" Bartlett Long clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination.

At the same time, he silently swore in his heart: "I must not let Celia down! I must gain the strength to protect Celia!"

Thinking of Celia's gentle smile and the help she had given him in the dream world, a strong motivation surged in Bartlett Long's heart. He secretly made up his mind that the next time he entered the dream world, he must become stronger and not repeat the same mistakes.

Bartlett Long couldn't wait to try to connect to Merlin's dream world again, but a message popped up on the screen: "Server congestion, please wait patiently in line."

There is also a cute wink of a Q version of Celia next to it, trying to ease the irritating waiting atmosphere.

"Damn! No way? We have to wait? How many people are ahead of us?" Bartlett Long was so angry that he couldn't help but swear, staring at the screen anxiously.

As if hearing his thoughts, the Q version of Celia thoughtfully picked up a prompt box with a clear message: "There are 7190 warriors connecting ahead of you. Please be patient."

"Fuck! So many people? It will take a long time for me to get my turn!" Bartlett Long was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He could only stare blankly but had no choice but to pace on the spot, looking at the number of people waiting that kept jumping from time to time, feeling helpless.

After an unknown amount of time, Bartlett Long finally managed to re-enter Merlin's dream world.

He appeared in a tree house space that belonged to him alone.

The tree house is very simply furnished. As soon as you enter the door, you can see a bed. The bed board looks a bit old and is covered with a thin mattress. The wooden legs on the side of the bed seem a bit loose, making people worry that it may collapse at any time.

Next to it was a wooden box that seemed to be about to decay. The lid was covered with traces of time, and the mottled paint had peeled off, revealing the uneven wooden boards inside. The lock of the box was rusty and looked difficult to open.

There was also something that looked like a mailbox, hanging crookedly on the wall. The opening of the mailbox was damaged, as if it had been gnawed by something.

The entire tree house was filled with an old-fashioned atmosphere. Sunlight shone through the cracks in the roof, forming long and thin rays of light, with dust dancing in the light.

Bartlett Long stood up and took a step when he suddenly felt weak and dizzy. His body staggered and he almost fell.

He quickly called up the system panel and found that he was in a [weak] state.

"What's going on?" Bartlett Long was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion.

Then, he quickly clicked on the [Weak] status to check the specific information.

[Weakness]: Upon death, you will be reborn into the cursed state of the tree house. In this state, your Strength, Vitality, Intelligence, and Spirit will be reduced. Your HP (Health Points) and MP (Mana Points) will also be reduced.

Bartlett Long was stunned by this situation and couldn't help but complain, "No, there's a death penalty?"

However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was quite consistent with Lady Ysera's character.

In the dragon clan's concept, failure means punishment, not to mention that they die in the dream world.

[No, Ysera has no ability to change everything in Merlin's dream. These are all Merlin's "good deeds"]

Bartlett Long had a headache. It would take two hours of rest to get rid of the weak state, or he would have to spend gold coins to buy a weakness-eliminating potion from Celia.

"Damn it, I must never go find Celia. I must never let Celia know that I'm dead." Bartlett Long gritted his teeth and made a secret decision.

He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Celia, especially after he had solemnly promised to protect her.
