Virus King - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Entering the Dream! The Terrifying Lord of Dreams! City-Building Order?

TL: Yang

This talent!?

Chen Bai raised his eyebrows in amazement. Any SSS-Rank talent was unique and extraordinarily powerful, but something as mystifying as the one before him was a first for Chen Bai!

Dreamwalker?!

The ability to enter dreams.

Even Chen Bai wasn’t certain about the specific effects of this talent.

All he could do was type back a message in bafflement:

“What’s the use of this talent of yours?!”

Could it be that one could enter a zombie’s dream?

Did zombies even dream?!

Chen Bai had to leave that one as an open question.

After revealing her talent, Meng Meng seemed to let her guard down entirely and began sharing everything without hesitation:

[Meng Meng: Right now, I only have the ability to enter dreams! I can enter a dream world—a world only I can access, completely separate from the outside world!]

[Monsters are also present in this dream world. If I kill them within the dream, I’ll receive rewards! If they kill me in the dream, I’ll just wake up from a nightmare… and won’t suffer any other harm!]

“???!”

Even though Chen Bai had mentally prepared himself, a series of question marks formed over his head!

What was this?!

So she could kill others, but no one could kill her?!

As long as she didn’t lose control, this girl was essentially invincible!

This kind of nearly unbeatable survival ability must be one of a kind among all the Evolvers on Blue Star!

This was insanely overpowered!

However, it did seem like the ability lacked any real offensive power!?

But then again, an SSS-Rank talent wouldn’t be that simple. This current situation only reflected Meng Meng’s inability to fully develop it yet.

Chen Bai raised an eyebrow slightly.

[Bai: This ability… so how do you want me to guide you!? Should I teach you some combat techniques?!]

Even if Meng Meng entered the dream world, she’d likely have to engage in close combat with zombies—she just wouldn’t die. But it would require very high-level fighting skills.

But Chen Bai’s guess was still off. Meng Meng’s motive and purpose might indeed be as he thought.

But her method was clearly different…

A few seconds later, Meng Meng sent another message:

[Meng Meng: Um, could I maybe enter your dream? Could we connect in the dream realm?!]

???

Chen Bai blinked and looked over the previous messages about the Dreamwalker talent.

By entering others’ dreams, she could expand her own dream world, developing it and acquiring skills and abilities.

Since Chen Bai hadn’t responded, Meng Meng continued:

[Meng Meng: Entering dreams has two different effects. One is entering my own dream world, as I mentioned. The other is entering someone else’s dream, allowing the person within the dream to connect with me.]

[I’d like you to directly teach me some combat techniques in the dream. Would that be alright?!]

Chen Bai blinked in surprise. This was actually rather interesting!

[Bai: Where are you? Do I have to meet you in person for us to connect in the dream realm?]

Chen Bai had already begun to grasp the potential of Meng Meng’s ability! This was definitely a talent with great prospects!

In dangerous places or situations, she could entirely scout the area with dreams first!

[Meng Meng: I know you’re in Jiangcheng, and I’m in E Province, so we’re not that far apart. But there’s no need to go through all that trouble. I can create a Dream-Stealing Totem using spiritual power. After you gaze at the totem and fall asleep, you’ll be able to enter the dream!]

At this point, Meng Meng, seemingly worried that Chen Bai might misunderstand, hurriedly added:

[Meng Meng: You can rest assured. I’ll sign an Evolver’s contract with you to guarantee I won’t take any actions that could harm you!]

This little girl was really something, wasn’t she?!

Chen Bai chuckled slightly. But seriously, a Dream-Stealing Totem?

Before Chen Bai could respond, the girl sent over another message—this time, not words, but two unique items.

[Spiritual Perception (D-Rank): Allows detection of an opponent’s specific attributes, levels, and profession using spiritual power. The detail level depends on the disparity between both parties’ spiritual power.]

The first of the items was that appraisal-type ability the girl could trade with him. Surprisingly, her Spiritual Perception was a higher grade than his own Cell Activation!

How did this girl get her hands on it?

Yet if the first item was already unexpected, the second one made Chen Bai’s pupils shrink with astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief!

[City-Building Order (F-Rank)]

[Item – Special Category]

Upon use, if conditions are met, a city can be established and will gain recognition from the Cosmic Will. As this is the lowest-rank City-Building Order, no additional rewards are granted upon completing the city-building challenge!

City-Building Requirements: An area with a radius of 200 meters free of large creatures capable of territorial threats, and at least 20 people within that area.

(Using this item will trigger a city-building mission. Use with caution!)

A City-Building Order!?

Chen Bai blinked, at first thinking he must have read it wrong.

But after widening his eyes and re-reading it several times, he finally confirmed!

Even though it was the lowest grade, a City-Building Order was still a City-Building Order, something Chen Bai would never have passed up.

Once a city was established using a City-Building Order, and it gained recognition from the Cosmic Will, the settlement would receive numerous unimaginable benefits!

The value and rarity of this item were beyond belief. How did this little girl manage to get it?!

[Bai: Where did you get this?]

[Meng Meng: In my dream world, I can control many things according to my own will, hehe. One of those things is increasing experience and drop rates!]

[But my spiritual power is too low. If I increase it too much, I’ll instantly wake up, and my head hurts badly. I can’t even fight monsters in my dreams that way.]

[These two items came from some strange monsters I encountered while entering certain zombies’ dreams. I killed them and these items dropped…]

“!!!!”

Chen Bai had to admit, he was envious at this moment.

To be able to adjust experience and drop rates in one’s own dream world? Seriously?

Did she think she was playing a private server?!

It was just as he thought—an SSS-Rank talent had its unique advantages. Though its combat power seemed weak in the early stages, all these additional abilities were outright cheating!

Thinking of this, Chen Bai’s curiosity was piqued. After signing the Evolver’s contract with Meng Meng, he opened the so-called “Dream-Stealing Totem” she had sent over.

It was a spiraling pattern with an eye in the center that made him feel irresistibly drowsy.

Once he relaxed his mental defenses, Chen Bai gradually drifted off to sleep in his villa.

And then, he felt a figure slowly appear before his eyes…

The Dreamwalker!?

The Lord of Dreams!
