Chapter 426: I didn’t know I was a guest in the dream

"Mr. Congressman, after our repeated tests, we can now guarantee with our lives that the Dream Interconnection Trial Machine is 100% safe in a dream state."

"Tell me the specific principle."

The congressman in charge of this matter looked at the scientist opposite him and said lightly.

"It's like this. The cause of Researcher Lin's death was the pain signals inside his body, which interfered with the transmission of dream signals. After research, we found that the original version of the signal transmission device did not have a technology similar to hot-swap when the signal was cut off."

"It's like the darkest place under the lamp."

"Now after the modification, hot-swap disconnect signals are supported."

"Of course, there are disadvantages."

“It will slightly reduce the realism of the simulated world.”

“How much lower?”

"About 10%. Experienced transcendents can definitely feel the difference, but for these fledglings, it won't be a big problem. Later, we will continue to optimize the system to ensure that the realism is improved."

"That's good."

Hearing this, the councillor in charge of the dream trial nodded.

"It's actually a good thing that the reality is a little less real, so that they don't get addicted to it and lose track of what's real. After all, the purpose of setting this up is to train these kids to have the courage to fight on the brink of life and death."

“So, when can we start using it for kids?”

"We have tentatively determined that it will be tonight."

"These new students will have a curfew at 9 o'clock every night and must return to their rooms. By then, we will use the mechanism inside the Qianji Pavilion to quickly put these children to sleep. At that time, the tower spirits inside the Qianji Pavilion will automatically equip them with signal interaction devices."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Everything, for the East Country."

In the bamboo forest, Li Zhongren held a sword without a hilt.

The total length of the sword is about one and a half meters.

The overall design is streamlined, like a willow leaf.

In fact, the same is true.

For sword practitioners, ordinary swordsmanship is just a means to lay the foundation and cultivate sword intent and sword energy.

This is just like the strength training that athletes do in the gym. When it comes to real fighting, no one would use dumbbells to hit others.

The same goes for sword cultivators.

A swordsman who has mastered the flying sword can be considered a true beginner.

Therefore, the swords of sword cultivators are generally designed in this way.

What's worse, there are some extreme-minded sword practitioners whose swords don't even have hilts, just pure sword bodies. They then use Qi to control the swords and practice the art of flying swords.

In fact, Li Zhongren could also do this. After all, he had already comprehended the meaning of sword, and his sword also gave birth to a sword spirit under the cleansing of his own realm.

But, perhaps it was caused by his cognition, he always felt that a sword must have a hilt.

Just like people need a home.

A sword with a hilt that can be held.

Only those who have a home can go home.

Being too rigid will lead to failure. Being too extreme is not a good thing.

"Search~"

"Search~"

Suddenly, Li Zhongren moved.

Under the moonlight, the long sword in his hand seemed to turn into a phantom. The sword body could not be seen, and only the light that occasionally crossed the night sky could be seen.

And, it's very quiet.

Yes, if you listen carefully, you can't even hear the sound of the wind.

It was as if the sword was sharp enough to cut through the sound.
"Senior, you really picked it up."

Under the big screen, Li Zhongren's every move was under surveillance.

Yes, at this moment, the 10,000 new students have fallen into a deep sleep and have been pulled into a dream.

The relevant teachers in the college also entered the dream.

Part of it is to deal with emergencies.

The other is to observe and analyze the potential of young students.

After all, dreams happen very quickly. If you were observing from outside, it would be like fast-forwarding a movie at tens of thousands times the speed.

Therefore, all relevant personnel including Lin Qiao also entered the dream.

Of course, they are in a separate area that allows them to observe whoever they want from any perspective.

In short, it's more like an auction.

In fact, the heads of various departments are now sitting down there as if they are watching a movie.

On the screen in front of him were more than 10,000 densely packed images.

Normally, you can’t see it all with your eyes.

However, those in charge have special instruments that allow them to watch more than 10,000 images at the same time in a manner similar to multitasking. Of course, the price is that they will feel a little dizzy, and if their soul is not strong enough, they will suffer.

But for the sake of students, I have to endure it.

Lin Qiao, on the other hand, blocked out the others and focused on looking at Li Zhongren.

Next to her was her junior fellow apprentice, Ye Xingchen.

"OK."

Lin Qiao nodded.

Li Zhongren in the bamboo forest did not use any extraordinary means. He simply used his physical body to perform the basic swordsmanship in the basic sword manual compiled by the Eastern Kingdom.

However, don't think that it won't work just because it has the word "foundation".

With the integration of the entire country's strength, these extraordinary skills that lay the foundation are the most important foundation.

Therefore, the sword skills that Li Zhongren was practicing at this moment were really powerful in terms of lethality, but at the same time, it was not easy to control it perfectly. However, this young man did not rely on the guidance of the power in his soul, but simply relied on muscle strength to use it so smoothly.

What does this mean?

this means
The two were both members of the Sword Sect. They looked at each other and came to an answer from each other's heart.

"The sword's heart is clear."

It only took this young man three months to cultivate the basic sword manual to the second level. His sword heart was clear and he had fully awakened one of his talents in this level, enhanced perception.

What surprised Lin Qiao and Ye Xingchen even more was that this was the result of the young man's indecision. He only spent half of his time practicing swordplay every day, and the rest of the time was spent learning paper-making and Nuo opera mask making.
"What a waste of natural resources"

After a long moment, Lin Qiao sighed.

"After this test, I must advise him not to be indecisive."

"Report, all new students of Jixia Academy have now fallen asleep..."

"Report, the dream space is stable, without any fluctuations."

"Report, the dream trial instrument signal interaction is stable, no fluctuations."

"Report."

While Lin Qiao was sighing, in the real world, the staff in charge of the dream trial equipment were methodically carrying out the final debugging. The whole process was complicated, rigorous, and orderly.

There is a long list of precautions listed from top to bottom, just like an aircraft inspection.

Each one must be checked before proceeding to the next test.

"Then, I declare that the dream trial officially begins."

"Phase one, identity verification." As the instrument was activated.

In the dream, the dreams of all the boys and girls changed, and the content of all of them was that they had become spies. Of course, considering that the East Country had many enemies, several dreams were changed in a very short period of time, and you were tested as spies from different countries.

"Drip drip"

"Drip drip"

Not long after, the instrument alarm sounded.

Among more than ten thousand green spots of light, some red spots of light appeared.

This means that they are spies from other countries lurking in the territory of the East.

In the past, it was too difficult to distinguish them, but now, all these people were taken away secretly.

"Identity verification completed. A total of 10,342 test personnel, 37 suspected spies."

"Number of repeated tests: three times."

“Do you want to continue verifying?”

"No need."

Next to the dream trial instrument, the director of the research institute waved his hand.

If someone can go through multiple rounds of dream tests without revealing his true colors, then at least in one dream, it will be difficult for the other person to show any signs of being wrong. After all, the dream trial instrument is not omnipotent.

However, this is also related to the low degree of reality of dreams in the first stage, because at this stage, dreams are not yet connected to each other and are just in their own little world.

When the second stage begins, I believe it will be difficult for the other party to hide their true colors during this period.

"Open the dream interconnection system."

"The interconnection system has been activated..."

"Construction of a secret dungeon, the ancient Yin Ruins"

"Copy construction started."

"The copy is complete."

"The copy is loading."
-
"Change of scene again?"

Li Zhongren has always been sober. Not to mention the shared space as his backup, he will not lose his self-awareness. It is simply his sword intent in playing with the world that allows him to maintain his self at all times.

Therefore, he could clearly distinguish whether this was reality or a dream.

Moreover, analyzing the other party's various behaviors, he probably had guessed Dongguo's plan.

Identify the undercover agents hiding among the teenagers.

However, now, as the environment changed, a piece of information inexplicably appeared in his mind. He knew that it also included a test and assessment for the students.

"Students, please pay attention."

Dreams have no beginning, so, under the guidance of dreams, the teenagers were divided into several classes, and were later managed by their respective class teachers.

Just like Li Zhongren's class teacher, a young woman wearing glasses, named Su Wen, who looked a bit nerdy and quiet, but she was actually practicing Qi and blood martial arts, the kind that could blow your head off with one punch...
For them, although their consciousness started from this moment, because they were in a dream, no one would doubt what happened before.

Su Wen clapped his hands.

"Today, our mission is to follow the academy to explore the remains of this ancient immortal. To be more precise, the periphery of the remains."

As she spoke, she pointed into the distance.

Everyone looked over.

There is no fairy-like atmosphere at all, it looks more like a huge construction site.

The entire ruins, or cemetery, is wrapped in blue iron sheets, which are common in construction sites in the real world.

Walking along the muddy road, you can see various roaring heavy machinery.

The so-called ruins are actually the tombs of ancient cultivators.

Of course, there is no unified standard for this thing. For example, the tomb of this ancient cultivator is an inverted pyramid.

Each layer protects another layer.

The East Country’s response was also very simple. I would dig out all your remains like an ant moving a mountain, just like the scene in a Hollywood movie where robbers packed up the entire bank safe and took it away, and then slowly cracked it.

The same goes for this.

Everyone looked up and saw an inverted, huge, behemoth-like pyramid standing there, supported by a pile of thick exoskeletons that looked like scaffolding, with its spire touching the ground.

That’s right, these are the remains of the ancient cultivator.

It was miraculously dug out from the center of the tomb by Dongguo's great strength.

"Students, after this relic was excavated, the interior has been cleared, and all the formations and barriers have been thoroughly studied by the country. If it weren't for the maintenance of this relic and its connection with the earth veins here, it would have been transported away. I heard that the country plans to build a museum here or something."

"Well, that's getting off topic. Our mission today is to explore the first level of the ruins."

"A pristine jungle like an island."

"You gain points by killing extraordinary creatures on the island."

"If you can find the entrance to the next level, you will receive a special prize. It will not overlap with the first place in the standings. So, do you have any questions?"

"Nothing."

"Very good. Now, take the elevator in order and go to the top floor."

More than 10,000 people.
It’s not too much, but it’s not too little either.

Li Zhongren waited in line boredly, waiting to enter the ruins. Fortunately, the process itself was not complicated, just like passing through the 9 3/4 station.

"Li Zhongren, aren't you nervous?"

A girl at the side suddenly asked.

She was the girl with twin ponytails who sat in front of him that day. Her family were all extraordinary people, so she could be considered a second-generation extraordinary person.

But, he has a good personality.

Moreover, more importantly, perhaps it is the extraordinary power that will strengthen the soul. Therefore, although there are teenagers here and they all have teenagers at heart, they are not childish. Each of them has relatively complete logical thinking ability.

This also makes Li Zhongren not averse to communicating with them, otherwise it would be really boring for adults to play with children.

"not nervous."

Li Zhongren looked at Liang Jiajia.

He suddenly asked.

"By the way, Liang Jiajia, what was our last class yesterday?"

"The Sword Canon."

"Oh, I forgot."

Li Zhongren turned his head and looked into the distance expressionlessly, but in his heart he couldn't help but sigh at the generosity of Dongguo. It was obvious that Liang Jiajia opposite him was not fake, she was also real, and was also brought into the dream, but she didn't know it.

Therefore, everyone here should be real.

"Om~~"

Not long after, Li Zhongren took the elevator through the barrier.

After that feeling of weightlessness, the surroundings suddenly became clear.

An isolated island in the sea, surrounded by endless sea.

Of course, he knew that it was fake. This small world of Sumeru mustard seed was similar to the space expansion magic in the Harry Potter world. It had a range, and the surrounding scenery was mostly condensed by illusions. Of course, there were also killing formations inside. Getting close to the edge was tantamount to seeking death in a different direction.

"Students, for the sake of maximum fairness, you will be randomly dispersed to random corners of the island. Please stand still and don't move."

As the staff explained, Li Zhongren looked down and saw a huge formation under his feet.

The formation was glowing, and then there was a whoosh.

He felt like his feet were empty and he fell straight down.
Yes, he was teleported to the sky and then randomly dropped to a certain place on the island.
