Chapter 625: Members of the Wan Shi Wu Club Arrive

After clearly explaining the procedure to these eighteen people, I also started doing my own things.

Actually, these people did not need me to give them this knowledge at all.

After suffering the brutal realities of life, many people would do their utmost to understand any kind of power they could master.

At the Calamity Shelter, those seven people had already proven that even if I taught them nothing, they would quickly get the hang of it.

However, as for these people Meditating... the fastest one of the previous seven also took several days.

And this batch of people, doing nothing but Meditating the entire time, would probably take one or two days.

So I had plenty of time to busy myself with my own affairs.

The first thing I did was to clear out a planting field nearby.

Then, I started organizing all sorts of professional knowledge related to planting.

The more I delved into this professional knowledge, the more I felt that all this knowledge could be put into the Sub-Class "Planter" and interpreted.

With these ideas in mind, I naturally wasn't just doing simple planting; I was also conducting knowledge summarization and Spell organization.

Because these things would all be arranged into the Skill Tree of the Sub-Class later.

Time flew by quickly.

In a blink of an eye, three days had already passed.

Under this Myriad Connection Main Network Tree, a village was taking its preliminary shape, and the number of people living here was gradually increasing.

Among the original 18 people whom I granted the Game Qualification, fewer than ten remained; many had left after successfully changing their class and had not yet returned.

The third day was also the time when all these people completed their Meditation.

Of course, they had only Meditated out a wisp of faint Mental Power, not the Mental Strength Thread characteristic of the Witch Meditation Method.

Three days... their aptitude was indeed somewhat concerning.

After all, they hadn't slackened at all during these three days, spending all their time Meditating except for sleeping.

This time was enough for most Witch Academy newcomers to complete the condensation of the Mental Strength Thread.

The one with the best aptitude among them completed the Meditation in half a day.

She could be said to be the epitome of talent in this batch, but it was a pity that they were not practicing the orthodox Transcendent System; otherwise, she would at least be a Little Genius in the future.

Putting these trivial matters aside.

I had also been very busy these days.

For instance, I completed the summation and development of the two Sub-Classes, "Planter" and "Architect," during this time.

And I completed the corresponding Sub-Class Platform.

It should be known that Sub-Classes couldn't just be added at will; that was a new Skill Tree.

If it weren't for the current limitation of techniques, I wouldn't have categorized the classes.

Therefore, to increase the limit, I naturally had to optimize the techniques.

Moreover, considering the environmental issues of the current Shelter's location, I was currently developing a third Sub-Class, the "Miner."

Since there were many exposed Transcendent mineral areas nearby, I naturally couldn't let them go to waste.

Although I promised not to touch these Transcendent materials, it had nothing to do with me if these Aboriginals reached out for them.

Aside from the development of Sub-Classes, during this period, this Myriad Connection Main Network Tree finally completed the root network interface with the one at the Calamity Shelter.

And I once again received an update on the situation at the Calamity Shelter.

The basic infrastructure in some areas of the Calamity Shelter had been essentially completed.

I must say, the efficiency of the Witch Academy's Infrastructure Club was truly terrifying.

A portion of the refugees outside Ninglan New City had also been relocated, greatly reducing the relief pressure on Ninglan New City.

And Big Sis Agnes was still perfecting the design aspect of the Health Bar.

I heard that because she had been tackling the real-time data feedback issue, combined with some perfectionism, it hadn't been completed yet.

However, the Transcendent Witch team led by Agnes gave me another surprise: they leveraged the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree to achieve information interoperability between player accounts in their spare time!

In other words, players now had a chat channel!

Private messages, regional chat, world chat... all of these could be accomplished through this channel.

In the Calamity Shelter, those seven people had already completed this information interoperability and it had been officially implemented.

And those seven people had already completed their Class Change and become Professionals, and had started to practically take over the management of the Calamity Shelter.

Furthermore, they had also secretly promoted the basic Meditation Methods in the Calamity Shelter.

This was Agnes's suggestion, intended to lay the foundation for the large-scale popularization of the Game Qualification later on.

By then, ordinary people with Mental Power could directly complete the Class Change and form usable combat power simply by eating the fruit.

It must be said that such development was undoubtedly very rapid.

And I estimated that the Shelter here would also adopt these methods, especially the promotion of the Meditation Method.

It might not be impossible for everyone to become a player eventually.

However, when that time truly came, new problems would likely arise, namely the instability of mentality brought by the increase in strength.

I had to admit that among a large population base, there were always some who were naturally bad seeds.

A way needed to be found to punish these people.

Many problems could not wait until they happened to be solved; some things should be nipped in the bud from the very beginning.

Perhaps... the strength of these game player accounts also needed to be categorized into different levels.

After recording all these thoughts in my Great Tree of Knowledge memo, I temporarily put these matters aside.

Because I now had another trouble to deal with.

Thinking this, my gaze turned toward a natural cave formed by a root under the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree.

This was where I had been living these days.

I strictly prohibited those people from approaching the area near the main trunk of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree.

This was my residence, and naturally, I couldn't let those people approach without reason.

The places where those people lived were all simple adobe houses created by Spells in the peripheral areas, which looked somewhat crude but were at least better than where they used to live.

The reason I didn't let them get close to my residence was that the interior of the root cave where I stayed was a Dream State Overlap area.

Although I didn't want to admit it, that massive Dream State creature had once again opened up a Dream State Overlap area in the realistic area I had just smoothed over.

As the saying goes, there is no way to perpetually guard against a thief.

Although I could drive it away again, I couldn't constantly divide my attention to check whether this creature would create another Dream State Overlap area elsewhere.

So I acquiesced to its appearance in the area where I was located.

To this end, I had to constantly take action to restrict this Dream State Overlap area from continuing to spread to other parts of the Shelter.

There were two reasons why I kept this Dream State creature.

One was fate; I hadn't expected this creature to find its way back here from the Primal Dream State again.

The other was... I wanted to learn more about its essence from this Dream State creature.

Because I found that my understanding of Dream State creatures was still too little, which was insufficient for me to gain a deeper understanding of them.

And the reason for my persistent curiosity about Dream State creatures was mainly my concern for Fool's Dream.

After all, I had promised to turn Fool's Dream into a true life form.

But many things could not be rushed, and many things had to be done step by step.

Just like now, I needed to continue perfecting the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree and constantly improving the player's Class Skill Tree.

As for the research on Dream State creatures... it was temporarily shelved, and this large Dream State creature, in my temporary residence, was just like a pet I was raising.

It also brought a hint of fun to my somewhat monotonous life.

And just as I finished updating the Sub-Classes Planter and Architect and handed over the tasks of growing food and building houses to these people, a group of "guests" arrived, which was unexpected yet reasonable.

“Hello, Teaching Assistant Xiaohan, I've heard about your deeds for a long time, and I've finally met you this time. I am Millian Baker, a member of the Wan Shi Wu Club. Teaching Assistant Xiaohan can just call me Millian.”

The girl named Millian was excited upon seeing me.

“Millian Baker, hello.”

I also nodded and politely responded.

This girl seemed to have dyed her hair white as well, but I had some impression of her surname, Baker; the previous Teaching Assistant from the Wan Shi Wu Club also had this surname.

Then my gaze swept over the group of people following her before I asked, “Since you are from the Wan Shi Wu Club, then your visit this time...”

“Teaching Assistant Xiaohan, have you forgotten? Just a few days ago, Teaching Assistant Winnie just reached an agreement with you to jointly construct the second Shelter. I am the member who came this time to communicate directly with you.”

Millian continued to say with a smile.

However, inwardly, she was extremely shocked.

She was primarily responsible for negotiating some ambiguous issues on this visit.

She originally planned to discuss the Shelter construction and jointly deliberate on how to solve the Dream State Overlap problem.

After all, she had previously gathered detailed intelligence, knowing that this was an area where the Dream State overlapped, and she had even deliberately learned the Dream Magic Spell in case of unforeseen need.

But she had already stepped into the area of Dream State Overlap mentioned in the intelligence, and even walked here to meet the legendary Teaching Assistant Xiaohan, yet she had not seen any Dream State...

This undoubtedly corroborated the previously unconfirmed information in the intelligence.

Teaching Assistant Xiaohan said she would solve the Dream State Overlap problem... she truly solved it!

And in such a short time.

If one analyzed the surrounding crowds and traces of construction more carefully, this time would have to be pushed even further forward.

This... this was an incredible feat!

It should be known that the Dream State Overlap area erupting around Ninglan New City would soon touch the boundary of Ninglan New City, and then the disaster of Dream State creatures would once again sweep across the entire Ninglan New City, and this kind of trouble could not be avoided.

But now, someone was using reality to tell her that this matter could be solved.

This... this was far too important!

“Oh, so you were serious. You people from the Wan Shi Wu Club ran away so quickly back then, I thought you were just joking.”

I said with a light chuckle.

“How could that be? The credibility of our Wan Shi Wu Club can be guaranteed. Perhaps Teaching Assistant Winnie had an urgent matter at the time. I heard she returned to the Witch Academy as soon as she arrived at Ninglan New City.”

Millian quickly explained, diffusing the awkwardness.

“Oh? She actually went back to the Witch Academy? Is it convenient to ask why?”

“I heard it was an issue with the outside society. I'm not too sure about the specifics, I apologize.”

Millian quickly and sincerely apologized, her attitude very earnest.

“I see.”

Hearing what she said, I could roughly guess what was happening.

It was probably the outside players causing another major incident.

It was just a pity that I wasn't there.

However, the situation outside had become so urgent that it required the recall of the Teaching Assistant assigned to the Expansion Realm... the implication of this was very interesting.

“Let's go. This place is not suitable for conversation. Let's find another spot.”

I guided them from where we met to my residence.

Millian also led her group behind her to the giant tree.

They had seen the shadow of this tree from a distance, and now standing at its foot, it looked so shocking.

However, just as all their attention was focused on the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree, a swift figure suddenly darted out!

“What is this!”

“Watch out!”

Before they could even react, their consciousness was instantly dragged into the Dream State.

With such rapid speed, there was a reason why these Dream State creatures were the number one enemy of the students.

“Stop!”

With my cold command, the figure paused.

At this moment, everyone finally saw the illusory figure.

It was a Dream State creature much larger than the biggest one they had seen so far!

“I apologize. There is a Dream State creature clinging to me that is temporarily staying where I reside. I let it guard this area and forgot to tell it.”

“It's... it's fine...”

Millian, who had returned from the Dream State, was still a bit shaken.

Looking at this giant Dream State creature, her eyes were full of shock.

This was her first time experiencing the service of having her consciousness sent back to her body by a Dream State creature.

“Our visit was sudden this time, but I didn't expect Teaching Assistant Xiaohan to have such a refined taste, to actually have the means to raise a... Dream State creature?”

Millian stammered slightly, because what she saw currently was challenging her cognition!

Wasn't the Dream State Overlap here resolved?

Where did this Dream State creature come from?

And... could Dream State creatures actually be kept as pets?

“Oh, it just clings to me. The place where I live is a small, special Dream State Overlap area. They can only move within this area, so you don't need to worry about being attacked by Dream State creatures elsewhere.”

I explained to the other party.

After all, she was here to help, and it would be bad if she misunderstood this as me giving them a show of strength.

“I see... May I be so bold as to ask, Teaching Assistant Xiaohan, if you have mastered... the technique to Dispel the Dream State?”

Millian spoke while observing the surrounding environment.

This place indeed seemed to be a special Dream State Overlap area.

Such a miraculous technique made her even more certain that Teaching Assistant Xiaohan possessed a mature, unknown method that could Dispel the Dream State in reality.

“Yes.”

I nodded.

“Really? Then... may I ask if we can learn this method?”

Millian asked subconsciously.

After all, she also knew that the Dream Magic Spell, the means to deal with Dream State creature attacks, also came from her.

“This is a technique. Since it is a technique, it can naturally be learned.”

I said with a smile.

“Really? Then... I mean, may I ask what kind of price we would have to pay for this technique...”

“There is no price. If you want to learn, I can teach you for free, as long as... you have the prerequisite learning conditions for this technique.”

I continued to say with a smile.

And at this moment, looking at my smile, Millian felt a wave of unease, especially when I said that it could be learned for free with no price... which made her feel something was very wrong!

“Is it... is it a model similar to the Dream Magic Spell?”

Millian asked tentatively.

Even learning the Dream Magic Spell had conditions, which was to unconditionally help those victims dragged into the Dream State by Dream State creatures.

“It could be similar, but I think you should be more concerned about the prerequisite learning conditions for this technique.”

Hearing my reminder, Millian quickly understood the core issue, but out of a final glimmer of hope, she still asked, “Then... may I ask if Teaching Assistant Xiaohan can explain the prerequisite learning conditions to us?”

“Master a Domain, and the order of the Domain must be capable of deriving a Primordial Rune. As long as you meet the conditions, I can teach you the subsequent theory hands-on for free.”

I said with a smile, stating the condition that completely extinguished their hopes.
