The Dream Arena can now evolve into an environment familiar to Victor, including the items in the environment and the characteristics corresponding to various items.
For example, Victor evolved into a rented cabin in the Dream Arena. The furniture, ceramics and other items in the house are almost exactly the same as those in reality, except that there are no living people. Not to mention living people, in the evolved rental house
Even the most common flying mosquitoes are absent.
The Dream Arena obviously cannot evolve living creatures.
But the point is that the evolution of the Dream Arena is based on reality, not on Victor's memory and cognition.
Therefore, Victor was able to use a simple set of medicine refining equipment to conduct more than 400 medicine dispensing experiments, and failed more than 400 times before finally getting a bottle of medicine sample. Assuming that all of this happened in reality, he wasted
The amount of medicinal raw materials can fill half a room.
The cost for a pharmacist to develop a new medicine is horrifyingly high. However, Victor completed the medicine test in his dream without wasting any raw materials.
The evolution of the Dream Arena based on reality can correct Victor's cognitive bias towards reality. This means that regardless of whether he understands the various properties of medicinal raw materials, the Dream Arena can help him master the various properties of medicinal raw materials through its evolutionary function.
Mystery.
Of course, the evolutionary function of the Dream Arena is not limited to testing new medicines, it has many more uses.
Victor evolved his temporary residence and also evolved the house next door. But in reality, he had never visited his next-door neighbor at all, and he did not know what the neighbor's room looked like and what items were in it.
Out of curiosity, Victor deliberately sneaked into their neighbor's room when they were not at home, and found that the items inside were exactly the same as those in the dream.
The Dream Arena can evolve into environments that Victor doesn’t know about; the Dream Arena can also evolve into properties that Victor doesn’t know about. The Dream Arena is like an omniscient god that can recreate the things around Victor.
environment, and then evolve it, no matter the slightest difference.
Of course, the Dream Arena is far from reaching the point of "omniscient", but it does achieve "knowing everything that should be known".
The specific rules for the "evolution" function are as follows:
First of all, the environment in which the Dream Arena evolves must be a space with Victor as the center and a radius of 150 meters.
Secondly, there must be flowing wind elements in the space being reproduced.
Third, Victor must stay in place for at least 3 minutes so that the flowing wind element can reproduce the item information in the space.
Fourth, the Dream Arena refuses visitors, and living creatures will not be evolved.
Finally, the space environment of the dream arena evolution can be superimposed 4 times, reaching a radius of 600 meters. However, the evolution space will be replaced by the next evolution and cannot be repeated.
The "Advent" function of the Dream Arena is that the mythical three-headed lizard descends on Victor, giving him a new elemental affinity. The "Evolution" function is that the Dream Arena uses wind elements to recreate Victor's surroundings.
Regarding environmental information and item information, Victor himself only serves as the coordinates for reproduction.
It can be seen from the two functions of "Advent" and "Evolution" that the Dream Arena actually has its own will. Victor can't imagine how it exercises its will, but he doesn't think it will hinder him.
The Dream Arena is the manifestation of his soul, and it cannot harm him in any way. This also means that switching elemental affinity states and using the wind element to sense the environment are all Victor's innate abilities. But he has forgotten many things,
He can no longer freely use his past extraordinary talents.
Victor feels that he has become weaker, not stronger. Even though the Dream Arena now provides two major functions: "Advent" and "Evolution", there are still various conditions and restrictions. This is nothing to be happy about.
In fact, everything in the main material plane and thousands of laws are reflected in the four elemental seas. Because the Dream Arena is located deep in the dark side of the fire elemental sea, it can reproduce the things perceived by the wind element and
The secret of the laws of evolution.
This is almost the authority of the Creator, which transcends the concepts of "strong" or "weak".
If one day Victor regains his memory and finds himself, he will only be able to use the wind element to perceive the surface of things, but he will definitely lose the authority of the law of evolution.
This is the difference between true gods and mortals.
The gap between true gods and mortals is unbridgeable.
However, Victor is a special case. He can even be called the "God Stealer". However, he has not yet fully realized how valuable the "evolution" function is.
The new psychedelic drug has achieved initial success in its evolution. Victor left the dream arena and returned to reality. When he opened his eyes, he saw Harvey holding the arms of Ruth and Jessica with two hands to stop them.
Rush downstairs.
The two women are now very frantic because a visitor came downstairs. In their view, strangers are intruders and must be driven out, otherwise they will not feel safe.
"Victor, you're awake!" Harvey exclaimed in surprise. It was actually no pressure for him to control Ruth and Jessica at the same time, but he had to try to avoid too much physical contact with these two women. Ruth and Jessica
Jessica would not be polite, scratching, biting, and spitting at Harvey. Harvey could only use his superb force-generating skills to affect the center of gravity of their bodies and drag them staggering, but he looked like
Quite embarrassing.
Victor frowned and said, "Knock them out first."
When Harvey heard Victor's order, without thinking, he lightly pressed Ruth's cervical joints with his thumb. A small shock was transmitted to the brain and made her faint immediately, and then he did the same to Jessica.
"These two girls are really annoying. They don't dare to fight, and scolding them is useless." Harvey looked at them fainting on the floor and shook his head.
Taking care of a madman is difficult, and it is even more difficult if the madman is also a professional. Harvey may have sympathized with Ruth and Jessica's experiences, but after spending so many days together, they only felt disgust.
Victor nodded and said: "I will prepare the potion today and give it to them. They will not be so manic in the future."
Before Harvey had time to be happy, he heard Victor say: "However, they still need someone to take care of them. The new psychedelic drug can make them emotionally stable and slow to react. The side effect is a temporary reduction of intelligence. After taking the drug, they have to eat and wear clothes.
Someone needs to help them in their clothes and prevent them from getting lost."
Harvey thought for a while and said: "As long as they don't beat anyone, it will be easy to handle. We can spend money to buy two strong, obedient barbarian female slaves who will be responsible for taking care of them. The Black Pig Tavern rents out barbarian female slaves. I will go back and ask
, let’s see if they can sell barbarian female slaves. But I estimate that the price of barbarian female slaves is not cheap. We may have to find the Thieves Guild again to sell some treasures.”
Victor is not afraid of spending money. As long as Harvey can get things done, he doesn't care about insignificant details. However, Harvey and Maddie are also stupid country bumpkins. Even though they are both in their fifties, they have no idea about the secret tricks of the Thieves Guild.
In fact, he knows nothing about it. He was noticed as soon as he arrived in Water Snake Town, and he hasn't noticed it yet.
In fact, they need a smart and capable person to take care of their daily chores. Otherwise, they will be deceived.
Victor let Ruth and Jessica lie on the floor and fell asleep. He and Harvey went downstairs together. In the living room downstairs, Maddie was receiving the tailor from Water Snake Town.
This bald half-elf old man was here to deliver clothes. The movement upstairs made him frightened, fearing that two female madmen would rush down and beat him up.
Seeing Victor and Harvey walking down the stairs, the tailor reflexively jumped up from his chair.
Maddie comforted: "Mr. Meepo, don't worry. The girls are asleep now... Well, they will sleep when they are tired."
In addition to the tailor, there was also a barbarian slave wearing a leather collar around his neck in the living room. He was tall, ugly, and quite scary at first glance. However, compared to the barbarian warriors Victor saw at the plantation in Braun Town,
, this barbarian slave has flabby muscles, a fat body, and lacks that ferocious wildness, just like a fat pig raised in captivity.
This was the first time Victor saw a male barbarian slave, and he took another curious look.
"Sir, this is the barbarian slave I raised. He usually does some rough physical work in the tailor shop. You ordered a lot of clothes, so I asked him to help transport them." The tailor explained nonchalantly.
In the eyes of the Disa half-elves, the status of male barbarian slaves is far worse than that of female barbarian slaves, equal to animals. They will not allow stupid, dirty male barbarian slaves to enter their houses, considering this as a humiliation.
My residence is not a stable, how can you bring animals in?
Fortunately, Harvey and Maddie do not have such prejudices out of vanity, but circumcised and captive barbarian slaves do not deserve their respect.
Harvey mocked coldly: "Tailor, do you expect this thing to protect you?"
The tailor took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and explained awkwardly: "I just asked him to help carry things." After saying that, he turned around and scolded the slave who was twice his size: "Idiot! Get out of here!
?”
The man slave left the house obediently. When he went out, he carefully closed the door and tried not to make any noise.
The tailor stood on the bench and tried on the custom-made clothes for Victor. If anything didn't fit, he could change it on the spot. He put Victor into a cotton shirt, and while using a tape measure to mark the length, he praised: "
I have been working as a tailor for more than 30 years, and I have never seen a figure as perfect as Mr. Victor’s. Please straighten your arms. Does it feel inappropriate?”
"No." Victor stretched his arms in accordance with the little old tailor's request and asked: "Your barbarian slave is very obedient... Are all barbarian slaves so obedient?"
"Are you talking about Obi? He is a barbarian slave that I raised since he was a child... Some people laugh at me and say that Obi is the hybrid born between me and a barbarian female slave. In fact, Obi was seriously ill when he was young and was abandoned by slave traders.
I picked it up from the sewage ditch without spending a single copper. However, Obi is stupid and can eat, so it cost me a lot of money to raise it. After we have been together for a long time, I have some affection for it.
, it’s like raising a stupid dog.”
The little old tailor said nonchalantly: "Obi's character is quite docile and he never causes trouble. Otherwise, he would have been beaten to death long ago. Once, a caravan steward saw that Obi was obedient and offered 80 gold pagodas to buy it. I
I have had it for 19 years and I am not willing to sell it because I am afraid that it will get into trouble in the caravan and be thrown into the mine by the steward, and then Obi will be doomed... Mr. Victor, please try this coat."
Victor put on a brand new coat, which was made of a cotton-silk blend. The texture was average, but the workmanship was fine enough. A wealthy half-elf family would buy a similar coat as formal wear to attend more formal occasions.
The wealthy families in the city-state would definitely look down on this kind of clothing, but it looked particularly outstanding when worn on Victor.
Just putting on a suit of well-fitting clothes, Victor naturally showed a noble and elegant temperament. The tailor's eyes shone and he praised repeatedly: "Perfect, impeccable... This suit is my most outstanding work."
Mr. Kedo, would you like to try these trousers again?"
Victor picked up the pants hanging on the back of the chair and asked, "Did you just say that Obi would be finished if he was thrown into the mine?"
"Oh, I heard that the barbarian slaves who work in the mines are rough and fierce. Most mine owners can only allocate a place for the barbarian slaves to live and let them take care of themselves. My Obi is timid and very honest.
"If it enters the mine, it will definitely be bullied to death by those barbarian slaves." The tailor shook his head and said: "The barbarian slaves in the mine live in villages, and the half-elf guards are not willing to enter their villages. The owner of the mine supervises their work with food.
.As long as they can complete their tasks, mine owners are unwilling to interfere with their affairs, and it is not easy to manage them."
Victor asked with great interest: "Aren't the mine owners afraid of the barbarian slaves escaping?"
The tailor replied: "Sir, I don't know about other city-states, but in Luoye City, if the local residents see a strange barbarian slave without an owner around them, they can kill it without paying compensation, and they can also go to the security office to receive a reward. I
He kept telling Obi that he must not leave our neighborhood. Those who don’t know him will definitely kill him. Therefore, the armed caravan would rather use more expensive barbarian female slaves than barbarian slaves, just because they are afraid that the barbarian slaves will be used by merchants.
The team gets into trouble.”
Harvey, who was standing next to him, interjected and asked: "Mepo, do you know the prices of the barbarian slaves and barbarian female slaves in Water Snake Town?"
"Master Harvey, this is hard to say." The tailor thought for a while and explained: "Barbarian slaves are not valuable. You can buy a good barbarian slave for 60 gold pagodas. However, there are very few people buying barbarian slaves.
Everyone still likes to buy barbarian female slaves. Some of their prices are expensive, and some are cheap. I heard that in the slave market in Beipang, the cheapest barbarian female slave costs 100 gold pagodas. Most people cannot afford it."
"Don't the Black Pig Tavern sell wild female slaves?"
The tailor hesitated for a moment and said, "Well... you have to talk to the tavern owner. If the price is right, he should sell it, right?"
Maddie was not interested in the barbarian slave trade. He was more concerned about the little apprentice from last time. He asked casually: "Mr. Meepo, where is your apprentice Stephanie? Why didn't you bring her?"
The little old man's expression froze slightly, and he said angrily: "Don't mention it. I took her in as an apprentice because I thought she was pitiful. Who knew that this orphan's hands and feet were not clean. She stole a ball of gold thread from the shop and was taken into the tailor shop.
The maid caught her on the spot and I drove her away."
Although the tailor tried his best to conceal his panic, how could his performance be hidden from the perception of Victor and others?
Maddie narrowed her eyes slightly and asked again: "Stephanie is an orphan? Do you know where she is?"
When the tailor mentioned Stephanie's status as an orphan, she would have thought of the orphan gang in a normal business trip. Meepo felt that what he had hinted at was obvious enough, but Maddie didn't understand the details at all. In a remote settlement like Braun Town
, orphans must be adopted by someone, they cannot be allowed to wander around, and they have no place to wander.
Maddie took a fancy to Stephanie's qualifications and sincerely wanted to take her away.
The tailor in Water Snake Town misunderstood that Maddie wanted to track down the "Goldfinger" gang. He did not dare to say anything and vaguely stated that he did not know Stephanie's whereabouts.
After Victor and the others had tried on the clothes and paid the final payment, the tailor immediately said goodbye and hurriedly left the house.
Maddie rubbed her chin and said: "This guy has something on his mind. Has Stephanie been sold to a slave trader by him? Sir, if possible, I still want to find Stephanie and take her away."
Victor did not comment. He listened for a moment and said calmly: "Someone else is here. They are the caravan steward and the caravan captain who took us into the town."
Harvey was immediately furious and said with raised eyebrows: "Their buddy Lockerbie betrayed our intelligence, and I didn't even go to them to settle the score, but they actually came to me? Do you really think that I dare not kill them?!"
