Chapter 64: Return to Gaia

Wu Pifu never expected this, and if Xu Shilan hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't even have paid attention to 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, extraordinary 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 "killing virus" and "anchoring" in the descriptions of predecessors.

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 very high probability of resurrection after killing. These actually still belong to contactable objects. For example, the ghosts Wu Pifu and the three saw in the Ghost Fan Tower action are also ghosts in the conventional sense. These can still be attacked and defended by powerful supernatural powers.

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 predecessors did not master how to destroy this type of rule-based strange talk.

But the predecessors discovered that as long as its sealing object or core object is brought back to Gaia, and the Main Brain performs 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 the Main Brain judge it.

The Main Brain judgment is good for 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 didn't 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!?

Wu Pifu thought of these, and only felt cold sweat all over his body.

It wasn't just Wu Pifu who thought of these, Amida also thought of them.

He said: "But for our current strength, what threat can paper people and half-paper people have? Among the thousands of extraordinary people in this Dream World in the Ghost Fan Tower before, any one of them might be stronger than a half-paper man, but for us, it's just a matter of one 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, and she said immediately: "No, N5 bombs are actually useless in two situations!"

"First, useless in Gaia."

"Because of Gaia's special nature as a mothership, at the beginning of its 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, that is, 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 Amida's faces changed. Wu Pifu asked immediately: "What about those Nightmares? Those Nightmares have range extraordinary 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 so-called supernatural power at all. So the basis of the Main Brain's judgment is any technological weapon."

Wu Pifu and Amida were 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: "It is very likely. You recall, when we fought the half-paper man, a large number of silk threads dropped from the void and inserted into the surrounding open ground. Did we feel that some kind of disaster was imminent? I suspect that is the Nightmare body, that is, the terrifying existence named Unborn Old Mother is trying to change the world rules around us!"

If N5 bombs couldn't be used……

Wu Pifu and Amida's faces were incomparably 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 couldn't use N5 bombs, then the only result waiting for them was to be drowned and killed!

Xu Shilan didn't wait for Wu Pifu and Amida 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 pool and tiger's den for us. This can also explain why we had no strange things when we completed the Peace Hotel Dream World garrison mission before."

Wu Pifu asked: "Are you saying that the Unborn Old Mother has used the Yellow Lotus fragment to infect many areas and many populations of 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 people are lurking, just waiting for them to step out of the Peace Hotel, and they will immediately surround and attack them……

Amida 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 Sleep Cabin. We have no room to maneuver with Nightmares on Gaia. Once a Nightmare penetrates the shelter, we must face this Nightmare directly."

This is the original copy of the Iron Refining Record, and also the item designated by Amida.

Thinking of this situation, the three felt their livers trembling.

When facing the half-paper man, seeing that giant human figure twisting in the air made their hearts shocked. That is a true god-demon existence, far from what they can imagine now.

The three were silent. Amida couldn't stand this silent atmosphere. He stood up and walked back and forth in the hall, stepping on the ground with force. 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: "Go back 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. I will go search for the remaining Huang Lian fragments with her!"

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

Wu Pifu couldn't speak, and he had no way to think.

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

Both looked at her. Xu Shilan was silent for a moment and said: "We catch a weaker paper person or half-paper person and bring it to penetrate the Peace Hotel! We bring the Nightmare to Gaia ourselves, and then shatter the Peace Hotel Dream World shelter. This is the only way I can think of."

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

!

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

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. Half a month has passed. 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 and prevent N5 bombs from being 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 designate any item in this world, and all designated items can be obtained.

The three were excited, and then immediately fell silent. Amida said first: "Choose…… what?"

Right, the biggest problem is, what to choose?

The Main Brain didn't give out what all the items in this world were, so they naturally couldn't know what precious things or various fantasy objects were in this world. They had only come to 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 call the official 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 designate this. If not, or if it is not certain whether the power is powerful, then Wu and I will designate those treasures of heaven and earth. Two most top-level treasures of heaven and earth recorded, taken by Wu, and Amida, you designate the original copy of the Iron Refining Record technique."

Seeing the two looking 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 Old Mother, so it is crucial to strengthen Wu's combat power to the greatest extent. Two top-level treasures of heaven and earth can significantly strengthen your Human Immortal Martial Dao progress, and the Iron Refining Record technique can strengthen your defense."

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