"Okay, I understand. I'll send a special staff member to handle it in a while. You guys stay there for now and tell Lao Bai that his two kids are putting on an act."
After saying that, Wu You hung up the phone.
Lu Xian's eyes lit up on the other end of the phone. A special employee? Who could it be?
Within the company, special employees are basically equated with mythical beasts or similar creatures.
Even among employees of the Manor of Ten Thousand Beasts, ordinary human employees rarely have the opportunity to see special employees, and Garuru, whom they used to see the most, has also become less frequent recently.
...
Meanwhile, Wu You pondered how to solve Bai Yanxi's problem once and for all.
If it were anyone else, Wu You really wouldn't want to get involved in this mess; he'd rather stay or leave.
But Bai Yanxi is practically family, and he's known Wu You for a long time, so let's take care of him.
Of course, Wu You would never directly give money to fill the financial hole left by the couple.
Money can be given, as it helps Bai Xiaohu, nicknamed Xiaohu, improve his family's living conditions, but it can't be made comfortable.
But after all, they are Bai Yanxi's son and daughter-in-law. Wu You can do whatever he wants with others without any problem, but the two of them have to give Bai Yanxi some face.
Hitting someone is not an option, and even if you scold them, it doesn't teach them a lesson at all.
What should we do then?
Wu You's method is simple: "dream".
In fact, he had the idea of creating an alchemical creature that could enter or control dreams earlier.
The appearance of the ancient natural tree once led Wu You to believe that it could cover dream-related functions.
However, the mental connection is indeed powerful, and the mental world it creates is very realistic, but this world is only the world perceived by the natural ancient tree.
It can only create the environment it sees, such as the area around Qiantang that its spirit covers, or photos and videos seen online.
In other words, natural ancient trees lack imagination; they merely replicate, at most making some changes on that basis, which is different from creating a dream.
Wu You still has a lot of ideas to fill in, and the Ancient Tree's abilities only solve half of the problem so far.
That won't do; we need to fill the vacancy.
In that case, the creature originally planned would still have to appear.
Perfect timing! We can use it to give Bai Yanxi's youngest son and daughter-in-law a few truly realistic "dreams" later on.
And they have to remember it, so that even knowing it's a dream, they wouldn't dare to be negligent.
Put down your phone and take out your sketchbook.
After flipping through a dozen or so pages, I came across a creature that looked very strange.
After glancing at the details a few times, I put down the sketchbook.
Clasp your hands together and stretch your arms overhead.
The joints and bones in his body made cracking and popping sounds.
He yelled towards the toilet over there.
"Salaso, put down the toilet brush and come over here for a second."
Without saying a word, the primordial demon rushed out of the toilet and stood in front of Wu You.
"My lord, Sarazo is ready at any time!"
"Hmm, I'm going to create a new partner. I might need you later. Don't worry, it won't be like the last one."
Wu You has already regarded Salaso as a large-scale spiritual battery.
"Yes, sir. I am willing to sacrifice myself for the Lord... uh..."
Saraso saw Wu You squinting at it, the cold glint in his eyes suggesting ill intent, and swallowed the rest of his words.
Ignoring it, Wu You directly opened the system and selected Level 4 Alchemy.
Choose one Asian tapir, one black bear, one rhinoceros, one Siberian tiger, and one North American bison from the resource warehouse.
The creature to be created this time only requires high-quality materials; everything else will be supplemented by Wu You's mental energy.
Therefore, the material Wu You chose was closer to the physical characteristics of the legendary beast.
Select "Confirm Alchemy" in the system prompt.
Then, the mysterious alchemical canvas with a black flowing water background unfolded once again in Wu You's consciousness.
Level 4 alchemy cannot be neglected, so Wu You immediately immersed himself in the spiritual description of alchemy.
Its body is that of a bear, broad, heavy and powerful. Its nose is the shape of a tapir, like an elephant's trunk but shorter. Its eyes combine the keenness of a tiger, the gentleness of an ox and the indifference of a rhinoceros. The wrinkles at the corners of its eyes are like hypnotic tree rings.
Four muscles were visibly restrained, tiger claws were faintly visible between the palms, a bull's tail appeared behind the body, and a huge crescent-shaped horn stood out on the forehead.
Its entire body was shrouded in long, soft, yet hazy and ethereal gray fur.
These are merely external factors, and far from sufficient.
Wu You wants to create a surreal creature that can eat dreams, create dreams, control dreams, and deliver dreams.
As the description and imagination deepened, mental energy was consumed more and more intensely.
As Wu You's spiritual imagination gradually increased, his spiritual power was poured into the alchemy board like a tidal wave.
When he felt dizzy, Saraso's mental support came to his rescue just in time.
Wu You did not stop, but continued to increase the injection of mental energy.
Stop only when you feel it is complete.
As the final drawing was completed, a peculiar creature appeared on the alchemical drawing board, appearing solid at first glance but hazy upon closer inspection.
At first glance, it has the body of a bear, the nose of a rhinoceros, the eyes of a rhinoceros, the tail of an ox, and the legs of a tiger. But upon closer inspection, it resembles nothing at all. Its entire body is in a state of smoky dissolution, as if it might dissolve at any moment.
It sits atop the alchemy canvas, its ethereal presence revealing a yearning for tangible realization.
System evaluation: Body arrangement rationality 79%, alchemy success rate increased by 7.9%.
Current success rate: 50% + 10% (Resonance of Will) + 7.9%.
Is it alchemy?
The more times Wu You created alchemical creatures, the better he could grasp the underlying principles.
An intuitive sense of prophecy is becoming increasingly sensitive and clear. Although it doesn't appear every time, when it does, it's almost always right.
Wu You has maintained his undefeated myth with this alchemical creature, which he created with all his might.
Alchemy confirmed.
As Wu You issued the order, the five animals in the material warehouse transformed into five streams of light and entered the alchemy canvas.
As the light drew near to depict the creature, it almost simultaneously shattered into smoke, enveloping the entire alchemical canvas in a swirling motion.
Even Wu You, the creator, couldn't see the process of its creation.
This is the first time that no sound has been heard when an alchemical creature is materialized.
But Wu You wasn't worried about failing.
Sure enough, a few dozen seconds later, the smoke on the alchemy drawing board dissipated.
The creature on it shook its fur, scattering ethereal, illusory smoke.

System Description: This is a strange beast that travels between reality and fantasy.
It's done!
Wu You unconsciously smiled.
Although Saraso, who was standing to the side, did not know the process of alchemy, he saw the Lord's relaxed expression and knew that he had gained a new companion.
"I hope my new partner will have a sense of humor"—Salaso's inner monologue.
Looking at the system information, one can basically understand the abilities of the Dream Eater.
After all, it was created according to his imagination.
Early alchemy, due to a lack of familiarity with the process, focused too much on the external appearance when creating creatures, often needing to materialize them before gradually exploring their abilities.
Wu You is now able to grasp the general direction of biological abilities.
As a critical species, being summoned inevitably involves a process of transformation.
However, as a Dream Eater, Wu You had already intuitively sensed what conditions were required for its advancement.
Then let's wait until late tonight.
In terms of dreams, the sheer size of Earth's population and the richness of its spiritual life create a far greater variety and quantity of dreams than those in the Eastern Realm.
