Virus King - Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Dream Traversal? Targeted Teleportation!

TL: YYang

“Sir!”

Early the next morning, Zhang Long reported in.

Chen Bai glanced at the man and directly stated: “I’m giving you two choices. One, follow me back to Jiangcheng and pledge allegiance under the gathering place. Two, stay here in Wuchang and take over Chen Yiqiang’s forces. Which one do you choose?”

Hearing this, Zhang Long was momentarily stunned. After a brief moment of thought, he replied directly: “Sir, I choose the second option!”

Chen Bai nodded, not surprised in the least. This world was like that—Better to be a rooster’s head than a phoenix’s tail!

He tossed Zhang Long a complete set of equipment and said: “Very well then. Do your best!”

In truth, Chen Bai did not hold much hope for Zhang Long.

Chen Yiqiang had risen to prominence in the previous timeline, but that didn’t mean Zhang Long would be capable of the same.

However, a figure like Zhang Long wasn’t someone Chen Bai planned to invest too much attention in either.

Watching Meng Meng, who had finally woken up after sleeping half a day and a night, Chen Bai smiled and said: “Time to go!”

With that, he carried the still-dazed Meng Meng and leapt off the building.

Watching Chen Bai disappear into the distance, Zhang Long exhaled softly, feeling immense relief. The pressure this man exuded was simply terrifying!

But as Zhang Long looked at the equipment on the ground, then at the figure racing off from the top of a building several dozen meters high, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of indecision.

If he had chosen to follow Chen Bai, would he also grow that powerful in the future?

He didn’t know. But since the decision was made, there was no point in second-guessing it.

Meanwhile, Chen Bai had carried the now fully-awake Meng Meng, whose face was flushed red, to the gate of the residential area.

“Brother Chen, put me down!”

Chen Bai looked at the young girl and smiled faintly: “If I put you down, when will we even get back to Jiangcheng? Can you keep up with me?”

Unexpectedly, Meng Meng clenched her fists: “Don’t underestimate me! I just awakened a new talent skill!”

“Hmm?” Chen Bai raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.

A few days ago, Meng Meng’s talent was limited to Enter Dream, and even just that was already quite formidable.

The effects of Enter Dream, combined with her natural abilities as a Dreamwalker, made her abilities almost absurdly versatile.

And now, in just a few days, Meng Meng had awakened a new talent skill?

Meng Meng nodded enthusiastically, shaking her head with excitement:

“My dream abilities just reached a certain level of development, and my spirit strength surged! Now my spirit points are at 50! Because of this, I gained another skill related to dream development!”

“Oh? What is it?”

Chen Bai’s curiosity was piqued—a rare occurrence.

Every SSS-Rank talent possessed abilities that defied logic.

And Dreamwalker, a talent he had never encountered before, had already proven to have immense utility.

Naturally, Chen Bai was extremely curious about her abilities.

Meng Meng finally stopped teasing him. Their bond had grown closer during their time together, and she readily shared her talent details with Chen Bai.

Chen Bai’s eyes scanned the information on Meng Meng’s ability.

…

[Dream Traversal (Talent Skill)]: While connected to a dream, you can convert the virtual into reality! This allows you to simultaneously appear beside anyone currently in a dream state. Cooldown time depends on the distance of teleportation and your spirit strength.

…

Chen Bai’s gaze grew increasingly stunned as he processed the description.

Why was it that every time Chen Bai thought his own talent was already powerful enough, Meng Meng would come along and deliver another crushing blow to his self-assurance?

What kind of ridiculous ability was this?!

Dream Traversal?!

Why not just call it Targeted Teleportation instead?!

Meng Meng’s abilities already bore some resemblance to those in the iconic horror movie A Nightmare on Elm Street.

And now? It had gone even further!

She now possessed this absurd dream-based teleportation skill?!

Wait a minute!

Chen Bai’s eyes suddenly lit up. He turned to Meng Meng, his voice both urgent and excited: “Meng Meng, can this teleportation ability be used on others as well?!”

Meng Meng nodded: “As long as they’re in the same dream with me, it works! What’s wrong, Brother Chen?”

A glimmer of unimaginable brilliance flashed in Chen Bai’s eyes as he stared at Meng Meng in disbelief.

If that were true, didn’t it mean he could instantly travel to Magic City and appear by Han Xiao’s side?!

He could head straight to that eerie Plague Chemical Plant and investigate whether it was indeed what he suspected—possibly the next mission target for the Cult of the Plague!

Chen Bai had originally planned to take Meng Meng back to Jiangcheng first, then make the arduous journey to Magic City himself.

It was supposed to be a long and grueling trip!

Even at his fastest pace, a round trip would take about a month. After all, the wilderness of the Dragon Nation was teeming with dangers at every turn.

But unexpectedly, Meng Meng’s newly awakened skill had just handed him an incredible surprise!

Her dream-based ability could ignore spatial constraints, allowing for long-distance traversal and teleportation!

Aside from her actual combat prowess, which was admittedly weak, Chen Bai could now see how the Dreamwalker talent was terrifyingly powerful, even among SSS-Rank talents. Its versatility was nothing short of mind-boggling!

Chen Bai exhaled deeply, feeling as if his plans had suddenly become much simpler and easier.

He looked at Meng Meng, who still hadn’t fully grasped the significance of what had just happened. Without thinking, he leaned forward and planted a kiss on her cheek!

In an instant, Meng Meng turned as red as a burning coal ember.

“Ah… Brother Chen, what are you doing?”

“Hahaha…”

Laughing heartily, Chen Bai once again scooped Meng Meng into his arms and set off toward Jiangcheng.

However, after leaving the outskirts of the city, he came to a stop at a familiar location.

It wasn’t anywhere new—this was the Demon Village he had visited just the day before!

With so much additional time now at his disposal, Chen Bai’s tightly wound nerves finally began to relax.

This special Secret Realm Dungeon, formed around the Demon Hunter Profession Scroll, had yet to be thoroughly explored.

Now that he understood the utility of the Face of Taotie, if it could continually refine and enhance his bloodline, this place would definitely be worth making full use of!
