Chapter 52: Building Dreams

City of Hope, Oneiroi Building.

Char lay in the silver-white dreamer, with dense electrodes on her head, and fell into a deep sleep.

Dewey stood beside the dreammaker and stared at Char, his hazel eyes shining with a strange brilliance.

Char's consciousness appears in a barren world.

Everything in this world is gray and there is no other color.

Char stood in the middle of the wilderness blankly, looking at this empty world, and after a long time, he came to his senses: "I'm dreaming, this is the world of dreams. ”

"That's right, this is your dream land, the land of your dreams." Dewey's figure appeared in front of Char, his face expressionless.

"Mr. Dewey, why did you appear in my dream..."Char was surprised.

"This is the Dream Builder's ability, 'Dream Wandering'. My consciousness leaves my body and enters your dreams. Dewey explained softly, "When you become a dream builder and master dream roaming, you can also enter other people's dreams." ”

"But... Even if you are a dream builder, it is a very dangerous thing to enter other people's dreams. Dewey continued, "Once the dreamer discovers that there is other consciousness in the dream, he realizes that he is dreaming. This violates the first law of dreams, and dreams will collapse very quickly. If the Dream Builder's consciousness does not leave the collapsed dream in time, the consciousness may be lost! ”

"In addition to the collapse of the dream, there is another, more dangerous possibility. The dream owner's subconscious mind thinks of you as an intruder and produces a rejection reaction! Just like a white blood cell attacking a virus, the entire dream world will treat you as an enemy. ”

"In short, don't enter anyone's dreams without the consent of the dream owner."

"The reason why I appeared in your dreams is that the dreams show no signs of collapsing. It's because I have your consent. Remember? You promised to let me teach you hypnosis and dream building in the dream world. ”

After Dewey's reminder, Char did remember that he took the initiative to enter the dream machine.

"I just said... Hypnosis is a skill, and the most important thing is a hypnotic prop. My hypnotic prop is this gold pocket watch. When the pocket watch pops open, it represents the beginning of hypnosis, and the person being hypnotized will fall into a deep sleep. When the watch is turned off, the hypnosis ends and the hypnotized person wakes up. Of course, hypnotic props are not necessarily props... It can also be an act. An act that represents the beginning and the end. Dewey stared at Char, "What's your hypnotic prop?" Focus your mind! As long as you focus enough, it will appear in your hands. This is your dream, and you are an omnipotent god. ”

Char nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes to fully focus.

A vague image appears in Char's mind.

It is round, with a silvery metallic sheen, and the surface seems to be engraved with patterns and numbers.

With Char's imagination, the image in his mind became clearer and clearer.

Eventually, a silver coin appeared in Char's mind.

The front is one, and the pattern on the back is a leafy inverted tree.

This is a Shadow Coin.

Char slowly opened his eyes and found a Shadow Coin in his palm.

"A coin... It looks like you're short on money. ”

Dewey, apparently unseen Shadow Coins, smiled and said, "Hypnotic props represent your innermost desires. Your item is a coin, indicating that you are short of money. And I... There is a real lack of time. ”

Char knew that this Shadow Coin represented not only money, but also evolution.

Dewey was right, it represented Char's inner desire.

Char really longs for evolution, for power.

Char smiled slightly, but did not explain to Dewey the true meaning of the coin.

"The method of hypnosis, I have already taught you. With your talent, it shouldn't be difficult to master. Dewey looked solemn and said, "The real difficulty is to build dreams!" In fact, you've just mastered the basics of building dreams! Using your imagination alone, you create a coin in the dream world that didn't exist in the first place. ”

"This is Tsunamu?"

Char was a little excited, closed his eyes again, and sketched a skyscraper in his brain!

Thundered!

A skyscraper rises from the ground and soars into the sky.

The next moment, the building collapsed with a bang, turning into colorful soap bubbles floating in all directions.

"You're so greedy!"

Dewey said, "The more complex and unfamiliar the things in a dream, the more difficult it is to build." A skyscraper, it's too hard for you! You can try it first, starting with a room. A room in complete darkness, with very blurred furniture and dΓ©cor. ”

Char nodded slightly, and according to Dewey's instructions, he rebuilt a dark room.

This time, he succeeded.

Dewey looked approving, and said, "He is worthy of the man that Dr. Morpheus values." Your imagination is rich! In fact, for talented people, it is not difficult to build dreams. Dreaming, who wouldn't? ”

"Actually, the job of a dream builder is a lot like programming. Start with the most primitive code, step by step, little by little, to depict a colorful and whimsical world! ”

"However, Dream Building is more about the concept itself! You don't need to know the skeletal muscles of a lion, the anatomy of the body. All you need to know is that its majestic mane flutters in the wind, and its deafening roar makes the beasts surrender... The lion is in a dream, it's just a concept!

"A conceptβ€”" Char pursed her lips, as if she had realized.

Syllable!

Dewey snapped his fingers, and the realm of dreams quickly collapsed.

In reality, Dewey turned off the Dream Maker and woke Char up from it.

"Building dreams... You don't necessarily need a dream machine. If you want to record your dreams, sell them, or share them with others, you need to use a dream machine. The function of the dream maker is to digitize the dream and record it on a disc. ”

Dewey opened the safe in the corner of the room, took out a genetic pill from it, handed it to Char, and said solemnly: "This is your reward for passing the test!" But you don't need to be anxious, wait until you have full confidence before injecting this genetic elixir. It will help you break through to Sequence 2 and become a true Dream Builder. You should know that the most important thing in evolution is not to inject genetic drugs! Gene Elixir can only temporarily open your gene lock! Only by constantly using the ability can this part of the gene be activated and rearranged..."

Char took the genetic potion with both hands and hurriedly thanked Dewey.

You must know that the Dream Elixir of Sequence 1 costs 500,000 federal coins per piece.

The price of the gene medicine of sequence 2 is definitely more than one million.

Not to mention the poor in the lower cities, even ordinary families in the upper cities cannot afford such expensive genetic drugs.

Dewey handed over the Sequence 2 potion to Char so easily.

It can be seen from this that the Oneiroi Group has indeed invested heavily in cultivating Char, and they need a dream builder very much, even if it is a newcomer like Char!
