The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 517 - 383: Collecting Essence of Dreams

Chun was invigorated: "Okay, Aileen, you guard the house. If anything unusual happens, you take control..."

Aileen: "Got it!"

In the next moment, Mina dragged Chun out of his body, and the rooms around them appeared once again in soul perspective.

Chun suddenly remembered something: "Mina, if we have a Dancing Girl always on guard in soul state outside, we could be alerted in advance if a Demon Soul tries to possess anyone, right?"

Mina said: "But that would also reveal we have a Dancing Girl, wouldn’t it?"

Ah, that too!

Chun looked around the dormitory: "Let’s find the weakest one to infiltrate first. Who’s the weakest here?"

Mina suddenly felt a bit troubled: "None of these people are weak, but if you’re talking about the weakest, it should be that one on the top bunk over there. There’s a fluctuation above his head, which indicates unstable spirit."

Chun was astonished: "You mean you determine strength through the fluctuation?"

Mina said: "It’s to judge the strength of spiritual stability. The more spiritually stable a person is, the harder it is to infiltrate. Those with very unstable spirits will have a Spatial Gate appear above their heads."

I see! Almost all serious criminals have some mental issues. Chun then thought of the principle of not shitting where you eat, realizing he shouldn’t mess up his dormmates upon arrival.

"In that case, we could check out the serious criminals’ dorms. There might be more unstable ones there."

Mina said: "Master’s idea makes sense."

So the two souls floated like the wind through the bars on the door, drifting directly into the depths of the dormitory, then heard someone talking up ahead!

Chun was suddenly startled, were they discovered?

Mina paused for a moment, then laughed: "It’s sleep-talking! The ones who talk in their sleep have the biggest weaknesses. The Old Witch always had us steal from those who love to talk in their sleep."

"Great, it’s him then!"

The two souls followed the sound to the room of the sleep-talker. Chun looked at the room number, 84! A pretty high rank?

Entering through the window bars, inside was a mixture of snores, teeth grinding, and sleep talking, with the people on the beds all burly and hulk-like with missing limbs, just as expected.

Chun suddenly noticed that everyone here had a Spatial Gate above their heads!

Mina, excited, said: "These people are all unstable and easy to get into! But, unstable doesn’t mean their spirit isn’t strong, so be cautious."

Comparing spirit strength? I’m quite confident in that.

Chun entered, and the scene changed——System Notification: Warning! Your soul has entered the dream realm of serious criminal number S0331, proceed with caution.

As the scene changed, it suddenly became a smoky factory gunfight scene!

Chun and Mina quickly found a machine device to crouch behind.

Mina said: "Master, the skills from reality can be used in the dream realm too."

Chun, a grandmaster-level Spatial Technique leading a Great Explorer profession with master-level Invisibility Technique, could finally put it to use, immediately turning invisible!

Meanwhile, Mina took out a bottle that looked like a spray, releasing an indescribable colored smoke to cover herself.

Ah, this? Chun pondered his life a bit, feeling like a single item could achieve the effect of his master-level invisibility, somewhat diminishing his master status...

Mina observed for a while: "It seems like gangs from Bronze City are having a brawl here. This location should be the scrap yard in the Old Town District, the slums of Bronze City."

Ah, it indeed is! There were guides during public testing. While every city had slums, Bronze City was the wildest, with hand-assembled mods of mechanical guns from recycled scraps making players question if they were playing the same game. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Just then, a rumbling cannon fire shook the factory, and a shiny object was blasted out.

——Great Explorer Profession Tip: Your master-level Space Treasure Hunting Technique has discovered traces of a high-end treasure!

Holy Shit! Since taking up the Great Explorer profession, it’s my first time encountering a treasure!

Chun quietly asked: "The treasure that appears in the dream must be an Essence of Dreams, right?"

Mina said: "Of course, it’s born from the prisoner’s obsession. But Master, don’t act rashly. Observe the situation around first. The key is to find the Dream Master first and avoid being recognized by him."

Ah, must not be recognized! Otherwise, he’ll cause trouble for me once he wakes up tomorrow.

Below, cybernetic macho men with machines were clashing over the shiny object, with many falling one after another.

Chun could basically guess the Dream Master’s obsession. Most likely, he didn’t get the treasure and was then caught and imprisoned, dreaming about his hatred ceaselessly?

If he didn’t get the treasure, then it must be some Six who snatched it. I just have to find Six and snatch it from Six?

As for the snatching method, of course, the explorer has a professional skill "Risk Avoidance!"

——Risk Avoidance: The Great Explorer can expend half of their Physical Strength or Mana to initiate a Spatial Displacement.

Looks like this skill is like borrowing a single-use Instant Teleportation Scroll from a Mage, pathetically enough. But at least it’s cross-profession, and using Physical Strength to activate is an advantage Mages don’t have in critical moments. Once I’m near, a set of half-baked Warri’s Stun Strike along with the Astrologer’s Predictive Strike will knock him out...

Just as Chun was contemplating tactics and looking around, a person shone brightly, leaping out with immense bravery!

Mina said: "It’s the Dream Master!"

Chun was taken aback: "So glaring and different from the rest?"

Mina said: "The Dream Master imagines himself to be extraordinary, of course."

Watching as the Dream Master was about to seize the treasure, Chun wasn’t anxious at all, focusing all his attention around the area——as expected, a laser-like thing shot over!
