Construction

"Dreams are neither entirely illusory nor entirely real, so there's no need to worry about them." Alice stopped the dream from unfolding, Lu Li returned to the candle holder. "But Dreamlands are different; they are also a form of reality. So, although Dreamlands are absurd, injuries sustained in them can still affect reality."

"Dreams, because they lack realism, appear utterly vulnerable when faced with real things."

"The realism of the Dreamlands is not much different from reality, so depending on the rules of different Dreamlands, the damage from the Dreamlands will be reflected on you in different ways."

Lu Li suddenly felt as if the injuries he sustained during his first instance of the dungeon had transformed into spiritual damage, which he realized was also a rule of that Dream of Delusion.

The following days consisted of relatively uneventful basic knowledge instruction. To become a wizard, knowledge is essential. Alice didn't just teach about dreams; she also taught some basic rune knowledge and energy manipulation techniques.

In addition, it involves constantly entering different dreams constructed by Alice, experiencing the changes in the dreams, maintaining one's true self, and remaining consistent within the dreams.

Three months later, as Lu Li flipped through the scroll in his hand, looking at the knowledge inside, a panel suddenly appeared before his eyes. The task panel, which had been silent since Lu Li left the Cinderella world, finally came out to declare its existence.

[Instance Objective: Phase Two: The River of Wisdom in Fairy Tale Town is about to surge. Enter one of the Land of Stars and complete the quest.]

[Instance Hint: Theseus is watching you.]

[Phase Two Quest Reward: +1 skill slot, 500 Game Points.]

"Finally here? I thought the game developers had forgotten about us." Lu Li nodded expectantly, put away the scroll in his hand, and walked towards Building B of the teaching area. After three months of study, he was finally about to begin condensing his own Dreamlands.

For ordinary dreamers to expand the realism of their dreams to the level of Dreamlands, even with the support of Dreamlands, it would take seven or eight years. And for dream wizards supported by organizations that are absorbed into the Dreamlands, it would take even more than ten or twenty years to truly take shape.

For example, Alice, despite her current loli-like appearance, is definitely much older than Lu Li, possibly even his grandmother. She was extremely talented back then, and it took her almost fourteen years to achieve that.

After all, expanding the reality of one's own dreams and transforming them into a real world is more difficult than imagined.

The reason why Lu Li was able to initially construct Dreamlands in just three months was because he originally possessed a real Dreamlands.

In the "Eliminate Three Evils" instance, after South Mountain Tiger died, the Dream of Delusion that was attached to South Mountain Tiger chose the Monkey General within it as its vessel again, transforming him into Mountain Demon Mutation. After the Mountain Demon was killed by Lu Li, the Dream of Delusion attached itself to Lu Li.

Then, the Bronze Fruit hidden in Lu Li's shadow dismantled this Dream of Delusion. The unique legendary elements were extracted and integrated Integration Lu Li's heart, while the remaining structure of the Dream of Delusion Integration into Lu Li's shadow along with the Bronze Fruit.

Lu Li's own dream has also mutated, and it is currently attached to that Dream of Delusion.

The reason this Dream of Delusion hasn't displayed its power is simply because its previous collapses depleted its energy. Once the energy is replenished, this Dream of Delusion can expand again.

For others, building Dreamlands is like building a swimming pool; they have to dig the hole, lay cement, tile, and build drainage and inlet outlets all by themselves. But for Lu Li, it's like he already has a pool, and because he fused with the Bronze Fruit, this pool isn't tiled, but covered with gold bricks. Now all he needs to do is fill it with water.

Lu Li spent the last three months learning mostly how to fill a container with water and how to swim. He has almost mastered that now. As for what comes next, Lu Li will have to figure that out on his own.

Upon reaching the bottom floor of Building B, rows of candles still flickered. These were the manifestations of the dreams of everyone who had joined Theseus. Through the contract, Alice could borrow their dreams to nourish her own Dreamlands, and to refill and expand the pool.

Lu Li is also a member of Theseus. According to the contract signed at the beginning, Theseus is responsible for teaching and providing resources. And the resources that Lu Li has now are the dreams of these people.

Three months later, Lu Li saw the rabbit in the vest again. It was staring at Lu Li with a pair of scarlet eyes, and Lu Li wondered if it was just his imagination, but the white rabbit's fur seemed to be much shorter.

Touching her rabbit fur stockings, Alice pointed to a row of candle holders and said, "That's yours. I've taught you almost everything I can about dream wizards. The rest is up to you."

Everyone's dream is a projection of the Dreamlands onto a person, containing many secrets. Even the events that happen in the dream may affect things in reality. What Lu Li needs to do now is to harvest their dreams, devour the dream energy accumulated in those dreams, and use it to replenish the Dreamlands.

Selecting a candle, Lu Li's spiritual power overflowed, infecting the candle and establishing a peculiar connection. Lu Li entered the dream from a strange perspective.

The dream was deathly still, as if time itself had stopped. The colors were extremely dim, and it appeared desolate. Lu Li knew that the dream's owner had not fallen asleep. If the dream's owner began to dream, then the world would come alive and become vibrant and colorful.

But that has nothing to do with Lu Li. He's just here to collect dream resources. The subconscious mind has a layer of defense in dreams, so normally, entering someone else's dream requires facing the subconscious's defenses and counterattacks.

However, all members of Theseus had signed a contract that anyone entering through the candle was considered to have acted legally and legitimately, and would not trigger subconscious attacks. Therefore, Lu Li directly Extraction the resources.

Everyone's dreams are projections of the Dreamlands, which exists in another unknown place. As each person's dreams unfold, the dream world absorbs energy from the Dreamlands to a certain extent. This energy has no effect on others, but it is a valuable resource for dream wizards.

The shadow behind Lu Li surged forth, pulling at the changes in the dream, transforming into the god of this dream. The hidden dream energy was completely exposed, turning into crystals that Lu Li collected bit by bit.

Just as Lu Li finished collecting the items and was preparing to leave, a few minor accidents occurred.
