  • She warns him not to reveal he is an Apprentice Dream Maker, then sends detailed materials.
• The materials reveal Wenchang City has roughly one million cultivators (250k residents + 750k nonresidents). Dreamscapes are highly valued there, but they must improve test scores to be accepted. Cram schools compete fiercely, especially before the Blessing Festival, because a Dreamscape that pleases Wenchang Star Lord might influence next year’s National College Entrance Examination questions. Apprentice Dream Makers are in such demand that some schools even kidnap people off the street to force them into the role.
