I am Wu Pifu, a traveler from the 21st century, barely considered a veteran of this Dream World era, your senior. Just as the old seniors did for me back then, I will provide you with shelter and guidance when you are vulnerable, help you establish your first shelter to the best of my ability, and share the information I know with you for free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Min still had a look of fear on his face, though it was gradually dissipating, while the middle-aged bald man shook his head slightly. He walked over to the dark-skinned muscular man, squatted down, and said: \"You’re from the Hive City, right? Looking at you, you must be a gang member... I’m very curious, how did a gang member like you survive until now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark-skinned muscular man thrashed about, his bowels and bladder releasing, using his hands and feet to try and escape the middle-aged bald man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged bald man shook his head slightly and struck the dark-skinned muscular man’s temple with a quick blow. The next second, the man’s eyes went rigid, a bloody hole appeared in his temple, and brain matter and blood flowed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu’s gaze paused slightly; he clearly saw that when the middle-aged bald man attacked just now, he had straightened his thumb and driven it directly into the temple, something an ordinary person could never do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged bald man stood up and said calmly to Wu Pifu: \"Let me introduce myself, Liu Zhen, captain of the Apache gang’s elite squad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu naturally understood none of this, but Liang Min beside him let out a gasp, then quickly ran behind Wu Pifu, trembling as he said: \"The Little Finger of the Second Company!? How did you become a maintenance worker!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu looked at Liu Zhen with interest. Liu Zhen didn't care, sitting down on the ground casually and saying: \"Because I killed a mid-level cadre of the Second Company.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Min let out an 'ah' and muttered a few confused words. Seeing that Wu Pifu didn't understand at all, he immediately explained to him: \"The thirteen Singularity Technology Companies have five dark-side forces working under them. First is the Thumb, representing the company’s guard combat power, usually claiming to be security companies. Then there is the Index Finger, representing the company’s public opinion and propaganda; their composition is very complex, ranging from the entertainment industry to the celebrity circle, the influencer circle, and internet trolls—they have the most personnel, and these people often work for several companies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next is the Middle Finger, the force that scouts for entertainment, gourmet food, beautiful women, or anything else the company’s middle and high-level leaders and cadres want; they usually claim to be intermediaries and headhunters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then there is the Ring Finger, responsible for internal company purges; these are the secret agencies of each company, usually only responsible to the highest level, with no public claim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, there is the Little Finger, which handles dirty business, disposes of trash, or intimidates large numbers of people for the company; they usually claim to be underworld forces or gangs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Wu Pifu understand how incredibly powerful the thirteen Singularity Companies had been back then—they were practically thirteen national regimes, weren't they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhen said with complete indifference: \"I joined the Apache gang actually to track down my younger brother. In the end, I found out he had been randomly selected by the Second Company and joined the Black Hole Boundary experiment, dying without a burial place. My own strength was naturally insufficient to fight a company, so I could only kill the person in charge of the selection for my hometown area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Min listened, gasping, and then explained to Wu Pifu: \"Such 'traitors' who kill internal company personnel are basically evaporated directly, or turned into biochemical puppets by the company. However, the time he killed that person must have been in the mid-to-late Fourth War. At that time, the company had basically been uprooted by the Human Revolutionary Alliance; although there were residual forces, they couldn't cover the sky with one hand, which is why he was sentenced to be a maintenance worker instead of being directly evaporated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhen looked at Liang Min with a half-smile and said: \"You know so much, then what is your background?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Liang Min step out from behind Wu Pifu. He looked timidly at the two strong men in front of him, and after several seconds, said: \"Two big brothers, I really am just an ordinary person. I graduated from a third-rate Starport University, got an accountant diploma, and then joined a procurement department under the Eleventh Company... I just got a little greedy, cooked the books a bit, and then became a maintenance worker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu looked at Liang Min, carefully observing his physical strength and listening to his heartbeat, then nodded slightly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhen naturally didn't have this ability, but having spent a long time in gangs, he naturally had a way to confirm if others were lying. After a long while, he also nodded slightly, then asked Wu Pifu: \"If everything you said is true... your superhuman speed and strength also come from the Dream World, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Definitely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu said firmly: \"I can't show my personal information digitization panel to you two yet, after all, we aren't familiar with each other, but there is no doubt that my strength comes from the Dream World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhen was still very cautious. He looked at Qiuqiu and Daphne and asked: \"Then this bird and this Samoyed also come from the Dream World?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne was suddenly furious and barked a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu soothed Daphne, patted her dog head, and said: \"This bird is a spirit, it hasn't been able to take human form yet, it comes from the Baseline Reality 0.7 Dream World. And this dog is a werewolf, from the Baseline Reality 0.6 world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a dog, right?\" Liu Zhen and Liang Min said in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woof woof woof!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne roared loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu laughed happily and said to the two: \"So what is your choice now? You can team up with me, but the danger is too great. You can also go solo. I will help you establish at least a Level 2 or 3 shelter in the Baseline Reality 0.9 Dream World, allowing you to achieve your first random draw and possess Dream World cultivation techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhen immediately said: \"I want to team up with you. You said this dog... this werewolf comes from the Baseline Reality 0.6 Dream World, right? As long as you establish a Level 6 shelter in the 0.6 Dream World, you can talk to the dead for ten minutes every month. If all this is true, then I will team up with you to enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Min raised his hand weakly and said: \"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu interrupted Liu Zhen and said: \"It’s too dangerous. It’s not that I underestimate you, but the Baseline Reality 0.6 Dream World is too dangerous. I personally suggest that even if you want to team up with me, it’s best to go to the 0.9 Dream World to establish your first shelter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Min raised his hand weakly again and said: \"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhen laughed, and then visible electric arcs actually emerged from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a biochemical cyborg, and a top-tier one at that—an elite-level sublimation cyborg within the company. Besides my speed and strength exceeding ordinary people, I have cells and micro-organs of six electrogenic creatures in my body. As you said, technological weapons will lose much of their power as the Dream World level drops, but this is my own physical strength, the power I possess myself. This is a crystallization of Singularity Technology from the Twelfth Singularity Company.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Min said in shock from the side: \"Chimera... Singularity Technology from the Twelfth Singularity Company, Chimera!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Liu Zhen looked like an unremarkable bald middle-aged man, as the current surged through his body, his height actually grew to about two meters, his muscles bulged, and his appearance rapidly became younger. His long hair also grew out, and he actually looked like a muscular, handsome man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stepped, flashing over thirty meters in an instant, while his punches and kicks crackled with every strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he hadn't exceeded the speed of sound, this speed, this strength, especially the attacks carrying electric current, were, in Wu Pifu’s rough assessment, even reaching the level of a Transformation-level martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhen stopped, the current gradually dissipated, and he gradually returned to the appearance of a bald middle-aged man, his long hair falling directly to the ground. He looked at Wu Pifu and said: \"Now? Am I qualified?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu silently evaluated him for a while, and finally nodded: \"As long as you don't encounter relatively powerful or bizarre monsters, this strength is indeed enough to enter Baseline Reality 0.6 and fight a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Min raised his hand weakly for the third time and said: \"Two big brothers, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhen immediately said: \"No time to lose, let’s enter the Baseline Reality 0.6 Dream World now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu suddenly laughed and said: \"Why the rush? Various things need to be arranged and explained. My suggestion is to eat a full meal first, and you two should also rest a bit. I will also explain some details and taboos in the Dream World to you, and enter after being fully prepared. What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhen thought for a moment and finally nodded, while also wanting to ask what \"Weekend\" meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Liang Min was about to raise his hand for the fourth time, the Main Brain’s voice suddenly sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emergency mission issued!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All maintenance workers will be unable to perform Dream World penetration. Personnel already in the Dream World must return to Gaia within 24 hours. Those who fail to return on time will have their job title rating lowered by two levels. If the title is lower than a Level 1 maintenance worker, the Main Brain will make multiple judgments according to human law, deny the maintenance worker’s human identity, and give an erasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maintenance workers returning to Gaia will enter the same Dream World 24 hours later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Dream World is the Baseline Reality 0.6 Dream World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Assist Chu Minghao in redeeming this Dream World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After success, three levels of titles will be issued according to contribution value: Human Guardian, Nightmare Fighter, World Redeemer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Pifu, Liu Zhen, and Liang Min were all stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when Liang Min heard the three words \"Chu Minghao,\" his eyes fluctuated slightly in their depths.\u003C\u002Fp>",1979,"2026-06-17T19:09:27.946Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","743f9760c156f116c26264835915faec0b83b2470572077f48de09852ac15e28","eternal-nightmare-night-chapter-138","eternal-nightmare-night-chapter-136",602,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-nightmare-night-cover.jpg"]
