This Lord is Very Scientific - Chapter 585 - 520: New Profession—Dream Stealer
Not only Great Wilderness City, but even the Abyss was boiling.
Of course, it was mostly women who were excited, though there were plenty of idle men as well.
That day, the space-time teleportation array to Azanen in the Abyss lit up continuously, the customs of the Great Wilderness Plane were operating at full capacity, and the people flow in Great Wilderness City skyrocketed.
Even on normal days, a lot of people came to Great Wilderness City, not to mention that Lin Ke invented a new thing called "movies"?
Plus, with the upcoming "High-Level Exams," simply known as GaoKao, Great Wilderness City was about to burst!
Even the marvel of the Great Library was nearly overflowing, not to mention the small movie theater.
People who managed to get tickets left satisfied, while those who didn't could only regretfully continue waiting for new tickets.
Especially those who were already curious, after seeing the expressions of those coming out of the theater, couldn't contain themselves.
No negative reviews!
Everyone was discussing the plot rather than whether it was good or not, because, in their view, they had never seen anything so good before.
It was even better than those plays recorded with Memory Stones!
Memory Stones record stage plays from wonderful places and sell them, but buying the Memory Stone is just watching a play in a different location.
Though stronger than previous means of entertainment, it was far inferior to movies!
Everything else was fine, but the crucial parts were things like lighting and camera work.
These elements made movies more engaging and targeted and firmly captured those watching a movie for the first time.
Schindler's List!
All the viewers swore that going to see a movie instead of so-called drama was the best decision they made in a while.
Of course, many still preferred theater, but it didn't prevent them from falling for movies simultaneously.
Many declared that the movie was definitely the best one they saw this year.
But when the second one came out, everyone was proven wrong.
That was... Inception.
Schindler's List was no longer their absolute favorite but one of their favorites.
...
"Inception?"
A handsome uncle stood at the entrance of the theater, looking sleepily at the large poster stretched down from above.
"Did that little guy come up with this? My mind is filled with chirping women, so annoying."
The handsome uncle muttered, as a magical beast resembling a golden beetle on his shoulder lifted itself to his ear, seemingly whispering something as well.
This person and beetle were undeniably René Descartes, who had just settled in Great Wilderness a few days ago!
"Alright then, let's give it a try..." René Descartes listened to the golden beetle's suggestion, yawned, and slowly walked into the theater, only to be stunned by the long queue inside.
So many people!
Don't these people have farm work... I mean, don't they have jobs?
But he also noticed that many were actually nobles, and there was a unique aura of the Abyss, likely members of the Abyssal Nobility.
Of course, there were also many local lords and nobles, as well as noblewomen and mistresses from other regions.
The majority were Great Wilderness City residents. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Oh, what a hassle."
René Descartes shook his head disappointingly, thinking he might fall asleep out of boredom while in line, only to wake up five hundred years later.
So, he immediately started moving forward.
"Hmm, the wish is to get rich? Alright, the Jade Spider Crystal in your pocket is valuable enough, granting you a spot in line is decent enough."
He approached the first person, who seemed to not notice René Descartes at all and was irritably looking around, exhausted from waiting.
René Descartes glanced at him a few times, then threw a thumb-sized emerald green crystal ball into the pocket of this first-level professional.
This thumb-sized Jade Spider Crystal came from a Star Realm Spider Demon, the kind that only feeds on related items and fragments. For example, the most versatile ones are the Azure Spider Crystal and the Jade Spider Crystal.
But hunting the Star Realm Spider Demon comes with the risk of being hunted by its Spider Mother, so the spider crystal is precious, roughly equivalent to a sub-plane godhead of the same volume.
After leaving the man with a subconscious suggestion, René Descartes moved on to the next person.
"What? This person's wish is also to get rich... Is money so necessary in Great Wilderness City?"
René Descartes couldn't understand, but in most places, the strong never lacked for money. Of course, the weak also didn't lack money, because in the presence of the strong, the weak had no right to be "wealthy."
If you can't beat me, I'll just rob you.
It might just be covered by other titles, like robbing the rich to help the poor, or trade wars and the like.
The strong always hold the power of speech.
Of course, René Descartes knew that the Insomnia Emperor was a benevolent king, but not a Holy Mother king, so the Gula Kingdom didn't have such bloody laws.
But for the people of Great Wilderness City to wish to get rich was a bit strange.
So René Descartes dropped another spider crystal and continued to move forward.
"Finally, a wish that's not about getting rich! Uh, annual best worker? What's this... Hmm, I see... Interesting, but unfortunately, I can't give you that, so I'll give you a spider crystal instead."
"To win the heart of Mr. Carlisle... Oh wow, this guy is into men! I definitely have to help with this!"
"Hmm? 'King of the Arena'? Goodness, the things Lin Ke likes to create are really troublesome, these honors can't be bought even with money!"
"I want to eat mom's buckwheat black bread with mushroom soup... Such a dish is as dark as the Holy Mother's Divine Kingdom, plus your mom's True Spirit has reincarnated, forget it, here's a spider crystal, buy more black bread and mushrooms."
"Another best worker, skip, give crystal."
"I wish my best friend would turn into a woman... Too much, spider crystal, next."
"If only Lin Ke could tonight... Spider crystal, next."
"Destroy the plane, I don't want to live... What the heck, never mind, leave it to Lin Ke, spider crystal, next."
After going through a string of people, René Descartes had already used up more than forty jade spider crystals.
The last time he was sleeping in the All Heavens Star Realm, his Golden Sacred Shovel Armor had beaten a nest of Star Realm Spider Demons, so he conveniently collected these spider crystals.
He didn't expect that within Lin Ke's reach, he spent over forty out of less than two hundred spider crystals.
Judging by the feedback he received from some people's minds, it seemed quite necessary to have money to live comfortably in Great Wilderness City.
Now it undoubtedly seemed that way!
Just waiting in line cost him more than forty; it was terrifying.
But these multicolored wishes also made René Descartes realize that Great Wilderness City was indeed the most vibrant city he had visited among many others.
In many other cities, especially at the Civilian Gate, the most significant needs were surviving and having enough food and clothing, not such a mishmash of desires.
He always valued the commoners and slaves, believing that in soul, nobles and commoners weren't inherently noble or lowly.
Soul is supreme!
Of course, at this moment, René Descartes only wanted to see what exactly this so-called movie was,
and then he reached the front row, where he saw a leaflet with some characters on it.
"Professional Dream Stealer? Why not just [Dream Stealer]...?"
"Lin Ke developed a new profession? Interesting..."
"Get me a ticket!"
