Chapter 64

Wu Pifu did not expect this at all, and if Xu Shilan hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have even paid attention to the matter of the Huang Lian "fragments".

That's right, since it's a fragment, it means it's broken into many pieces. He got one piece... what about the others!?

The Main Brain has a judgment mechanism. This mechanism can identify items you obtain from the dream world, whether they are ordinary items, supernatural items, or strange items obtained after killing nightmares. There is nothing the Main Brain cannot identify.

The most critical thing is that this kind of identification is actually a kind of "killing virus" and "anchoring" in the descriptions of seniors.

Nightmares are very difficult to kill. If it is a biological nightmare, it is slightly better, but if it is a ghost, spirit, etc., there is a high probability of resurrection after killing. And these actually still belong to contactable objects. For example, the ghosts and souls seen by the three Wu Pifu in this Ghost Fan Tower destruction action are actually ghosts in the conventional sense. These can still be attacked and defended by powerful supernatural forces.

What is truly terrifying are some strange things. For example, the Cursed Grudge Wu Pifu has seen belongs to this category. This type of nightmare is similar to a rule-based strange talk, or a curse in the true sense, and is almost impossible to kill. Even if it is temporarily sealed by rules, it will inevitably recover over time. At least... Wu Pifu's seniors did not master how to destroy this type of rule-based strange talk.

But the seniors discovered that as long as the sealed object or core object is brought back to Gaia, and the Main Brain performs an information judgment on it, then this type of rule-based strange talk will completely disappear.

So Wu Pifu was very relieved to use this item after obtaining the Huang Lian fragment and having it judged by the Main Brain.

The Main Brain judgment is good in this point. As long as it is not written in the judgment, it can basically be regarded as non-existent. Since the Main Brain judgment did not say what hidden dangers the Huang Lian fragment had, Wu Pifu just regarded it as an ordinary item. If there were any hidden dangers, the Main Brain judgment would have eliminated them at the beginning.

But what about the other Huang Lian fragments!?

Thinking of this, Wu Pifu only felt cold sweat all over his body.

It was not just Wu Pifu who thought of this; Amadai also thought of this.

He said: "But for our current strength, what threat can paper men and half-paper men have? Among the thousands of supernatural beings in this dream world in the Ghost Fan Tower, any one of them might be much stronger than the half-paper man, but for us, it's just a matter of an N5 bomb."

Wu Pifu touched the two hundred or so N5 bombs left in his pocket, and the panic in his heart was slightly relieved, but he still felt something was wrong, as if there was something he hadn't considered clearly.

Xu Shilan's face was still ugly. She said immediately: "No, N5 bombs are actually useless in two situations!"

"First, useless in Gaia."

"Because of the special nature of Gaia as a mother ship, at the beginning of construction, seven Level 7 citizens and the only Level 8 citizen, the President of the Human United Government, issued the highest judgment logic to the Main Brain, which is that any range weapon with a destruction range of more than five meters cannot be used in Gaia."

"Individual weapons, such as firearms, don't matter. Gaia's internal structure uses a mixed steel structure and has automatic repair components, but range weapons are absolutely prohibited. As long as any sign of range weapon use is discovered, the Main Brain has the right to carry out destructive strikes against any non-Level 7 citizen."

Wu Pifu and Amadai's faces changed. Wu Pifu asked immediately: "What about those nightmares? Those nightmares have range supernatural abilities. Will the Main Brain also destroy these nightmares?"

Xu Shilan showed a bitter smile: "Supernatural power is not in this category... It's simply nonsense. When we built Gaia, when we were in the broken solar system, there was no supernatural power at all. So the basis of the Main Brain judgment is any technological weapon."

Wu Pifu and Amadai were both silent. Xu Shilan continued: "Second, changes in world rules will cause technological weapons to become weaker, unusable, or produce various mutations, similar to dream worlds with lower baseline reality. Technological weapons will become less powerful or unusable... By the way, this is not exclusive to dream worlds. Singularity technology can also create similar situations, so I deeply understand the consequences of technological weapons being disabled!"

Wu Pifu asked in a deep voice: "Are you saying that technological weapons are likely to be useless in the Peace Hotel dream world?"

Xu Shilan nodded: "Very likely. You recall, when we fought the half-paper man, a large number of silk threads dropped from that hole and inserted into the surrounding ground. Did we feel that some disaster was imminent at that time? I suspect that is the nightmare body, that is, the terrifying existence named Unborn Mother is trying to change the world rules around us!"

If N5 bombs could not be used...

Wu Pifu and Amadai's faces were extremely ugly.

Relying solely on their strength, they could probably deal with the initial half-paper man relatively easily, but if ten, twenty, thirty, or fifty half-paper men attacked at the same time, and they could not use N5 bombs, the result waiting for them could only be being submerged and killed!

Xu Shilan did not wait for Wu Pifu and Amadai to express any opinions. She said immediately: "From the time, it has been about half a month since we first encountered the half-paper man. If the Huang Lian fragment can work, the Peace Hotel dream world is already a dragon's den and a tiger's lair for us. This can also explain why we were safe and sound when we completed the Peace Hotel dream world garrison mission before, and no strange things appeared."

Wu Pifu asked: "Do you mean that the Unborn Mother has used the Huang Lian fragment to infect many areas and many people in that world, and even surrounded the Peace Hotel, so that other nightmares cannot come, right?"

Xu Shilan nodded: "It is very likely."

Thinking of this scene makes people feel that thousands of paper men are lurking, just waiting for them to step out of the Peace Hotel, and they will immediately besiege them...

Amadai pondered for a moment and said: "Then don't go back! Since the Peace Hotel dream world is so dangerous, let's not go to that dream world!"

Xu Shilan immediately retorted: "What about the shelter? All shelters can lead directly to Gaia, and we only have three areas now: maintenance base, medical base, and hibernation cabin. We have no space to maneuver with nightmares on Gaia. Once a nightmare penetrates the shelter, we must face this nightmare directly."

Wu Pifu did not support Amadai's suggestion either. He also said at the same time: "And if the Peace Hotel dream world is really infected, then we must be prepared to have a Level 3 or even Level 4 nightmare penetrate from that dream world. That is the Unborn Mother. Vacuum Hometown is a baseline reality 0.2 dream world. There are Level 5 or higher nightmares in it. Once a nightmare penetrates the shelter, the shelter will break and disappear, and we will also lose the coordinates of that dream world. But the premise is... it will only disappear once a nightmare penetrates. If we don't go to the Peace Hotel dream world, then the Unborn Mother can completely raise insects slowly. Those paper men will evolve. By then, what we have to face is likely the Unborn Mother's clone or something!"

Thinking of this situation, the three of them felt their gallbladders trembling.

When they faced the half-paper man, seeing the huge human figure twisting in the air made their hearts shocked. That was a true god-demon-level existence, far from what they could imagine now.

The three were silent. Amadai could not stand this silent atmosphere. He stood up and walked back and forth in the hall, stepping hard on the ground. After a long time, he roared in a low voice: "Then what should we do!? This won't work, that won't work, we can't just wait for death, right!?"

Wu Pifu looked at Xu Shilan, and Xu Shilan looked at Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu said first: "Return to the Peace Hotel dream world and search for the traces of the Huang Lian fragments! Jiu Jiu seems to have a special ability to find treasures. Jiu Jiu and I will go to search for the remaining Huang Lian fragments!"

Amadai asked immediately: "What if the Huang Lian fragments have already infected a large number of paper men and half-paper men, and N5 bombs are ineffective!?"

Wu Pifu could not speak, and he could not think of a way either.

At this time, Xu Shilan said: "There is a way, I don't know if it's feasible or not."

Both looked at her. Xu Shilan was silent for a moment and said: "We catch a weaker paper man or half-paper man and bring it through the Peace Hotel! We bring the nightmare to Gaia ourselves, and then destroy the Peace Hotel dream world shelter. This is the only way I can think of."

Wu Pifu and Amadai were both stunned. Amadai clapped his hands immediately: "Good, let's do it!"

!

Wu Pifu was full of hesitation. He thought of Xu Rongyu, thought of Lin Heier, thought of the ordinary villagers who helped build the Peace Hotel in that world...

Sorry, I can't, I can't do it, I'm just struggling to survive...

After a long time, Wu Pifu also nodded: "Good, let's do it! Go, let's go back to the Peace Hotel dream world!"

Xu Shilan said immediately: "Don't rush. It has been half a month. It's useless to be anxious now. What we need to do now is to prepare as much as possible. Now, we must immediately use the Level 4 shelter reward to improve our strength, to prevent the situation where N5 bombs are ineffective!"

"Right, Level 4 shelter!"

This time, destroying the Ghost Fan Tower and forcing away the Worry-Free Cave actually made their Level 3 shelter upgrade to Level 4 by chance. And the reward for the Level 4 shelter is to choose any item in this world, and all specified items can be obtained.

All three were excited, and then immediately fell silent. Amadai said first: "Choose... what?"

Right, the biggest problem is, what to choose?

The Main Brain did not give out what all the items in this world were, so they naturally could not know what precious things or various fantasy objects were in this world. After all, they had only been in this world for a short time, and their understanding of it was very shallow.

The three looked at each other, and Wu Pifu tentatively said: "How about I ask the official, for example, ask the Prince of Kang about the precious things in this world?"

Xu Shilan said helplessly: "This is also a way... It seems that the Level 4 shelter reward, if you want to fully exert its potential, the premise is that you must be familiar with and know the world."

Wu Pifu was about to ask the steward to deliver the visiting card to the Prince of Kang's mansion. Xu Shilan suddenly said: "Although I don't know what the specific items are, I have some plans that I can say first."

"If there are fantasy objects with very powerful power, then we will specify this. If not, or if it is not certain whether the power is powerful, then Wu Little Brother and I will specify those treasures of heaven and earth. Two most top-level treasures of heaven and earth recorded, taken by Wu Little Brother, and then Amadai, you specify the original copy of the Metal Refining Record."

Seeing the two look at her, Xu Shilan immediately explained: "If you want good things, as long as you survive this time, there will be hope and hope in the future. But now we must face the threat of the Unborn Mother, so it is crucial to strengthen Wu Little Brother's combat power to the greatest extent. Two top-level treasures of heaven and earth can significantly strengthen your human-immortal martial arts progress, and the Metal Refining Record cultivation method can strengthen your defense."

Amadai asked suspiciously: "But I can teach the cultivation method to Brother Wu, why waste a designated quota for a treasure of heaven and earth?"

Xu Shilan shook her head: "No, this kind of teaching is likely to cause trouble. I also have a cultivation method, so I know clearly that this cultivation method is directly injected into our heads by the Main Brain. It is a cultivation method that is specialized after our own understanding and personal characteristics. You teach it to Little Brother Wu, and it's fine if there is no problem. Once there is a problem, it may die suddenly due to the backlash of the cultivation method. So the safest way is to directly specify the original copy of the cultivation method. In this way, at least Little Brother Wu can learn it himself, practice the cultivation method according to the content he learned, perhaps the effect is not as good as the Main Brain's direct injection, but at least it is safe."
