All was at peace.

Akihito and the Nightmare Lord Tapir sat down face to face again.

Before Akiren could speak, the tapir suddenly plunged his hand into his chest, and after a brief fumbling for a while, he tore something out of his chest.

At first glance, Akihito thought it was the heart of the Lord of Nightmares, but when he looked closely, he found that it was a pale blue dream seed.

"It's your... Remuneration. There was a hint of tiredness in the tapir's voice.

Judging from the way this dream seed was produced, he should have torn off something similar to the flesh of his heart and gave it to Qiu Ren as a reward.

"Dream Seeds. ”

Akihito took the dream seed, which radiated a pale blue hue.

After entering, the residual warmth had not yet dissipated, and Qiu Ren could feel the powerful power contained in this dream seed.

If you look inside from the transparent surface of the seed, you can still see some traces of civilization relics.

This is a dream seed with a sci-fi tendencies of at least B-grade intensity!

In fact, it is not difficult to identify the quality of dream seeds, and the most intuitive way to identify them is to judge from the size of the space that can be carried.

The space of each person's initial awakening dream dungeon was only ten cubic meters, which was very small.

It's so small that it's almost impossible to make a movie, let alone make a game, unless it's a jump rope simulator or something.

If you want to expand, you can either use creation points to pile up, or buy dream seeds to open up new space.

The lowest E-grade Dream Seed can reach about 300 to 1,000 square meters just by counting the area, and the higher the rating, the more exaggerated the Dream Seed will expand.

A C-class dream seed can hold an entire dream construct the size of a regular city.

There is no problem with the one in Qiuren's hand accommodating his own province, so the rating is at least B.

"Mr. Akihito... I hope you can... Get strong as soon as possible. ”

The tapir gave Akihito a gift, but he also had high hopes for him.

"Powerful?"

Akihito doesn't think it's a word for a dream maker, or a word for a movie director and a game creator.

"The world of dreamers is not... Peace, Mr. Akihito. ”

The tapir patiently taught Qiuren about the dark side of this world.

"What do you mean by the Dream Quest Invasion Battle?" Akihito had also learned about it.

That is, dream dungeons can invade each other!

This is not something that a poor student like Akihito would come into contact with.

Occasionally, it appears in those dream dungeon movies that have been released in theaters, as well as in dream dungeon games that are openly commercially running.

Sometimes this kind of invasion war is a malicious commercial competition, and sometimes it is a military conflict between countries.

The specific method of invasion Akihito did not know.

However, if all the dream copies owned by a person are completely destroyed by the invaders, that person will also die of a mental breakdown.

This is also the reason why the country vigorously cultivates dream makers, and even includes the profession of dream maker as one of the optional subjects in the college entrance examination.

Because in this world, the dream copy composed of movies and games represents power, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is another level of national power competition.

Therefore, countries will spend a lot of financial and material resources to toss dream seeds from various channels, and then carry out the shooting of dream movies and game production, which is no different from an arms race.

A war between true cultures.

"I don't seem to have a reason to be targeted by those potential enemies. Akihito pondered the dream seed in his hand and said, "But I don't like the feeling of not having the power to protect myself. ”

"The death royale you've constructed... It's still yours, and it's yours only, Mr. Akihito. ”

The tapir explains why Akihito is likely to be targeted by potential threats.

"So you die because of a dream breakdown, I'll... It's distressing. ”

It turns out that I'm hanging, and the death royale will be gone?

Akihito wasn't worried that someone would assassinate him in reality.

Because dream dungeons can be passed on.

Before dying, most dreammakers will pass on the dream copies they have constructed to the next generation, or they will revert back to the dream seed through special means.

The only way to completely destroy a dream copy is to destroy it by means of invasion.

Akihito's predecessor, the builder of the Tower of Death, is believed to have given all ownership of the Tower of Death to the Nightmare Lord Tapir before his death.

"So I'll have a follow-up payment?" Akihito asked what he cared about.

"Of course there will be, but according to the rules, this is the best reward I can give you right now... I'll recover a little faster if more humans are willing to participate in the Battle Royale you've built, but for now I need to give the humans out there a breather before I can start the next round. ”

There was also some irrepressible exhaustion in the voice of the Lord of Nightmares.

It seems that the removal of a C-grade and B-grade dream seed from his body is also a disservice to himself.

But the tapir is still willing to give this reward, which seems to be a rule, a rule that every Lord of Nightmares must follow.

It is also one of the principles of Nightmare Purification, although the tapir will also draw emotional power from the humans who enter the Nightmare Quest to recover itself, but the rewards he gives to humans after clearing the level will be more damaged.

However, this is another reason for the slow progress of the S-Class Nightmare Dungeon's purification.

Eating Chicken is a quest that makes the tapir eat more, but the rewards he has to give are also more.

Akihito remembers a book that recorded the analysis of Nightmare Purification, mentioning that the most important thing for purifying S-class Nightmare Seeds is to break even.

That is, the secondary goal is to completely purify the S-class nightmare seeds, and the main target is still those second-level dream seeds produced by the S-class nightmare seeds.

This is also the main source of dream seeds.

The premise is to control the risk of that S-class nightmare seed going berserk.

Now eating chicken has made the production of tapirs a little larger, but Akihito thinks that there is still a lot of room for growth.

"You still underestimate the addiction brought about by Battle Royale, more and more people will be immersed in it in the future, I mean not only the death row prisoners in Fengdu Prison, but also those prison staff, and even outsiders may take the initiative to participate in it and become parachutist recruits on Jedi Island. ”

When Akihito said this, he first reminded the Lord of Nightmares.

"It's that the rules of battle royale are still very well reproduced, and it is estimated that it won't be long before someone makes a harmonious version and grabs popularity with us. ”

Akihito can now completely control this Nightmare Lord... As the operator of the Battle Royale.

It's just that the version operated by this Lord of Nightmares, the cost of death is too great.

The pain of being hit by a bullet is real, but being killed in a battle royale will also be severely damaged physically and mentally in reality.

Even if the reward for eating chicken in the end can be used to buy a house, the price of the first two bloody is estimated to still discourage many people.

At this time, someone made a harmonious version of it, which is estimated to gather a lot of popularity.

"I said Mr. Akihito. The Nightmare Lord's tapir's fingers interlaced, and his voice became extremely low, as if he was suppressing something, "The battle royale is yours and yours only, I won't allow any similar dream copies or... Nightmare dungeon appears!"

Are you the play cop?

The rules of the game are actually very difficult to protect.

But the Lord of Nightmares doesn't seem to think so, looking at the tapir's posture, whoever dares to make a similar dream copy will blow up someone's dog's head.

No matter how he is, he is also the master of an S-class nightmare, and Akihito believes that this nightmare master has the ability.

It seems that people in this world can only experience the thrill of eating chicken in this dangerous nightmare, and I don't know how many people are willing to risk their lives to get this fragrant chicken.

"Finally, I hope the battle royale is exactly what you say... It's going to catch on, Mr. Akihito. ”

Tapir adjusted his pitch as well, and Akihito could hear a hint of silence in his inquiry.

It seems that the Lord of Nightmares also wants to be popular.

"Surely, if the damage of dying in a nightmare is reduced to a tolerable range, more and more people will be willing to come in and fight for the chicken laurels. Akihito said.

The tapir tapped his head again, and he realized that it was time to send Akihito away.

"Mr. Akihito, it's time for you to wake up too. Tapir said.

"Wait a minute, do you have the option of Creation Points in your reward?" Akihito hurriedly asked.

Creation points are equally important for the construction of dream dungeons, and if Akihito really wants to use this B-rank dream seed to create a story, the creation points that need to be consumed are counted in the amount of 100,000.

And if Akihito is not mistaken, the current exchange rate for Creation Points is 1:120, which means that you have to spend 120 yuan to buy a little Creation Points.

Akihito doesn't have that much money!

"I'm sorry I can't give you this. The tapir shook his head and said he couldn't do anything about it.

The Nightmare Lord couldn't give Akihito another Dream Seed to exchange for money.

All right... It seems that the creation points have to be figured out by Akihito himself.

"In the future, as you said, Mr. Akihito, if death royale will become popular, I can give you more reward, but in my opinion, this is a luxury, so that humans like death and pain very... It's difficult, but Mr. Akihito, the nightmare you created does exist like this... potential, so I'm willing to believe in you. ”

The tapir's words sounded like a lonely old man, and he adjusted his tone and continued.

"Finally... I hope you can make one out of that dream seed... Popular story. ”

Popularity, popularity from the audience is also an indispensable indicator of the strength of a dream copy, the movie industry is the box office, and the game industry is sales.

Popularity is a metric called 'popular approval' in Dream Dungeon.

Relying on the B-grade sci-fi dream seed in his hand, Akihito can create a character who can easily destroy a skyscraper.

But Akihito alone thinks that this character is invincible, and it is useless to be able to raze a building to the ground with a single hand.

also want the audience to recognize and like, more than one audience, the more audiences recognize and love this character.

The stronger this character is when invading other people's dream dungeons, or being invaded by characters from other dream dungeons.

Akihito really wanted to go back and figure out what kind of copy of this B-class sci-fi dream seed should be used for.

But Akihito is now seriously thinking about the possibility of the long-term operation of the 'Death Royale' dungeon!

If you are a person who eats people's flesh and spirit, is feared and disgusted, constantly wants to escape, can only experience pessimistic emotions such as despair and pain after entering, and finally can only be locked in the depths of the prison, relying on the nightmare copy of sacrifice of human life to purify...

The efficiency of obtaining dream seeds is too slow.

Fengdu Prison can be a battle royale that everyone yearns for.

In order to become the only survivor and the only king on the island, use everything on your body, kill other competitors in all conceivable ways with cruelty, cunning, and ruthlessness, and then step on everyone's corpses to win the final victory, and finally win the fragrant chicken that countless people crave, and then return to the real world with the honor of being the winner.

Akihito believes that death royale has this potential, no matter how big the side effects are after dying in it, as long as the rewards are rich, there will inevitably be countless people who don't know whether to live or die... Warriors flocked to the city.

But the premise for Akihito to operate is that Fengdu Prison is willing to open this S-class nightmare seed to the outside world.

Is it possible?Akihito had heard that the danger level of the Nightmare Seed is also graded, and the S-class mostly represents the strength of the Nightmare Seed, but the stronger the Nightmare Seed, the more dangerous it is.

The tapir is kept in a death row prison, and he can only be fed by the lives of the condemned prisoners, and the classification is definitely the most dangerous level.

If you go wild, you will have to evacuate the kind of monster-level crisis that will be evacuated for hundreds of miles.

It is also unknown whether Fengdu Prison will conduct a new assessment of the danger level.

But before that, Akihito had to think about whether he could leave Fengdu Prison after waking up.
