Chapter 64-64- Finishing Work
Out of surprise at the abilities demonstrated by the Society for the Continuation of Civilization and her expectation that they might leave behind a huge treasure in the future, Yvette felt that it was necessary to have more contact with this mysterious organization in the future. It would be even better if she could infiltrate and become a member of the organization.
But to achieve this, it takes some time, and in the dream world, what Yvette lacks most is time.
According to her estimation of the volume of the dream fog, the entire dream lasted about three months, and the remaining time was only about one month.
In such a short time, 80% of her time was spent on attending classes at the university every day and researching and upgrading the specifications of the techniques. It was really difficult for her to have any in-depth contact with the Civilization Preservation Association. She was even afraid that she would not have the chance to accept mercenary commissions.
It seems that I can only wait until the next time I dream. I hope that the timeline will not fluctuate too much by then, and I will not go back to the past, nor jump to the future many years later... She sighed in her heart.
In this way, in the last month of the dream, Yvette began the planned finishing work.
She sold the bio-colonial suit that was listed on the dark web for 2.4 million yuan. Although she might be able to sell it for more if she waited a while, after trading the information about the Fire Thief program, her wallet was already empty and she really couldn't continue to wait for a higher price.
Then, the first thing she bought was Tianqiong Technology's "Detailed Explanation of the Technique Architecture Engine", which cost her a full 1.2 million credit points.
This book systematically explains the modular composition of the engine and includes many industrial practice cases. It is very suitable for beginners like her and can help her avoid many pitfalls that her predecessors have encountered.
Well, although it was expensive, at least in her opinion, this book was a necessary expense. After all, every improvement in the technique's specifications was like making the size of a piece of paper larger, allowing painters to depict more exquisite details on it. This was not as simple as simply painting a few strokes on a blank area, but required a complete redrawing.
For example, a game offers thousands of equipment options, but your protagonist can only hold 6 pieces of equipment at most, so you will naturally choose the best equipment within the range of 6. Now, if you are given 10 equipment slots, will you simply buy 4 more new pieces of equipment on top of the original ones?
That would definitely be to clear everything out, then reconstruct the idea, and find out how to maximize combat power with 10 equipment slots. That might be a set of equipment that is completely different from the previous one.
The existence of the self-developed engine can help her speed up this process in the future. Otherwise, every time the magic terminal is upgraded and a new technique is developed, she will have to start from scratch or look for luck in the dream fog everywhere... It is really painful, long, and unrealistic.
…
After deducting 1.2 million credit points, only half of the 2.4 million credit points that had just been obtained were left.
Without time to feel bad, Yvette immediately went to the black market to have a look. However, the premiums on military equipment were ridiculous, and the equipment she could afford was not as effective as using magic directly. So after a quick look, she gave up the idea of adding combat power.
For her, any military equipment that can be considered useful starts at 5 million yuan, which is totally unaffordable for her.
Fortunately, I have a new ring worth 100,000 yuan, which means I have achieved the goal I set when I fell asleep.
then……
With the remaining money, she bought some functional supplies and professional books.
First up is Black Tower Pharmaceuticals' "Military First Aid Kit," which contains magic potions and rune medicines to deal with various situations, as well as a mysterious liquid called "vitality" that can replenish vitality and even prolong life.
In Black Tower’s promotion, as long as you have this first aid kit, there is a chance of rescue even if your head is chopped off. It can be called a life-saving artifact.
The second is the "material repair fluid" of the Lin Tu creature, which is an organic liquid that is used much like spray paint. After spraying on aging and corroded materials and letting them air-dry, it can greatly improve their service life and strength, reaching a level close to that of steel. It is an excellent partner for garbage men.
Next is a batch of low- and mid-end "element chips" produced by small factories. They can also be used when picking up scraps. They can be used as replacement parts for some large equipment that are well preserved in other places but have damaged chips.
Then, there were some industrially produced artificial magic cores. These were designed specifically for natural mages. The market was small, and the costs were high, so the prices were sky-high, reaching 700 yuan per point. After careful consideration, she bought about 500 points of magic, spending 350,000 yuan, and had to wait more than half a month for them to arrive.
Finally, there's the "Technical Analysis of Space Runes" from the Sky Split Group. Compared to the previous books, this one is probably the most expensive and the least useful, because even the current Origin Civilization's understanding of space runes is limited to "verifying their existence."
Especially the Likong Group itself, as a super company at the forefront of space rune exploration, it has not even put any related applications into practice. It just keeps making big promises, claiming that "space gate technology will change the landscape of the future logistics and transportation industry" or "space rings will be the greatest invention of the future" and so on.
But if you ask them when space rune technology will become a reality, it becomes an eternal "another 30 years".
But Yvette still bought it. The reason was not out of pure curiosity, but because she felt that although the Sky Rift Group had not yet come up with anything convincing, the Aurora Belt and the Remnant Abyss must be related to the space runes.
Perhaps it was a phenomenon of elemental contamination caused by spatial runes, but the effect it presented was to connect the two worlds together...
In short, it will definitely not be wrong to understand this mysterious rune classification in advance.
…
In order to prevent herself from losing things due to escaping from the dream, Yvette hardly slept during the second half of the third month of the dream.
She purchased language courses in "Emerald Language" and "Silver Mirror Language" and tried to stay alert while learning these two new languages, resulting in her dozing off every day.
She also specially purchased a small service. If she did not log in for more than three days, a message would be automatically sent to the contacts on the citizen account, saying that it was due to force majeure and the account would be gone for a long time. If she had any questions, please leave a message.
That way, even if she suddenly disappears from the world, even for several years, it won't cause too much misunderstanding.
Finally, at the end of the third month, one day, looking at the world that suddenly became blurry and blurred in front of her, she made a quick decision and hugged a suitcase next to her - the suitcase contained the important items for her entry-level shopping, plus some replacement clothes.
In addition, she picked up a small plastic box next to her, which contained a moving hamster.
She wanted to use this hamster to test whether she had the ability to bring living things out of dreams.
If successful, it means that the dream is not the past, but a real world, perhaps a parallel universe on a certain timeline.
If you fail...
That depends on the situation.
…
A few minutes later, as everything around her became completely blurred and blurred, like a melted block of paint, boundless darkness entered Yvette's eyes.
She stood in the silent twilight, exhaled silently, and looked at the bright moonlight falling from the broken window not far away, making sure that she had returned to the real world, back to the night before she was about to say goodbye to the residents of Puppet Town.
The fishy smell in the air had not yet dissipated, and the streets outside the ruined buildings were probably still a river of blood. Perhaps less than five minutes had passed.
She lowered her head, cast a lighting spell, and looked at the plastic box in her hand.
The hamster was inside, but the lively little animal was now lying motionless in the wood chips. She opened the lid and poked it, and found that its body was warm, but it seemed to have fallen into a long sleep and no matter how she touched it, she could not wake it up.
It's like... I've become a vegetable.
After a few minutes and many attempts, Yvette settled on an answer.
The hamster's body was alive, but its spirit had vanished. The moment it emerged from the dream, its spirit did not follow; only its body crossed the boundary between dream and reality.
As for whether the memory came with it, it was impossible to tell. But without the spirit, it was the same as death, so what did the memory mean?
It seems like there's no way to bring the person out of my dream... That's right, there's no need to let them know about this hopeless future...
Yvette sighed softly, burned the hamster's corpse, then picked up the large suitcase and floated into the air, passing over the collapsed walls, the endless corpses in the darkness, the starry sky above the treetops, and flew in the direction they came from.
