Chapter 23 The winner in life

The eyes swept across the surrounding environment, rows of houses with exotic style, and simple-dressed people were coming and going around.

Wearing a hooded outfit, he acted with the movement of the crowd around him, his sleeve sword was hidden under his robe, and the cold touch made Zhu Jue's brain always keep awake.

The gray aerosol on the skill icon in the lower left corner is gradually disappearing.

The goal is the man standing in front of the fruit stall. When he buys fruit, he always looks around the surroundings. When he occasionally raises his hand, he can also see the metal reflection in his cuffs through the sun.

snort.

He is such a novice assassin. It seems that it is necessary for me, the assassin master, to educate him well what is a true creed assassin.

The distance is constantly approaching.

He raised his palm slightly forward, and the sleeve sword was about to be unsheathed. The sword was covered with the highly toxic potion he bought last night. It must be blood-sealed!

Swish ~

A red light spot overflowed on his chest, but he could only see a piece of sword tip when it was pulled away. He turned around and could only see a man wrapped in a gray robe that was exactly the same as the passers-by around him, retreating.

"What a novice assassin. He dares to wear a pure white suit to assassinate. Are you worried that others will not be able to find you?"

As a sneering word came into my ears, the picture in front of me instantly fell into darkness.

Only one death prompt is left: You are back-stinged by "Ezio's mentor", and the damage calculation is... One blow will kill you!

"Uh!!!"

Zhu Jue, wearing VR glasses, rolled madly on the ground of the room, and the wind chimes next to him flipped.

The No. 1 Assassin Master of Heywood District is also concentrating on practicing as an apprentice today.

Assassin's Creed: Assassin's Whole City"

An online VR game released two years ago. All players can set their own identities after logging in and then choose what identity they will live in the city.

The content of the game is very simple. Players must use various channels to find other players in the city who are also pretending to be ordinary people and complete the assassination before they notice it.

"Mr. Ivanka, please do not forget your agreement with Mr. Gentleman."

The voice prompt of the memo made Zhu Jue take off his VR glasses in a irritable state, get up and walk towards the toilet.

......

The agreed place between the two parties is a private club in Westbrook.

"Have you ever dreamed?"

The gentleman, whose outfit was no different from the first time he saw it, leaned against the desk, beside him was a candlestick made of gold, and the bright yellow flame was lined with white candles. It was not a holographic projection, but a real object.

Similar candlesticks are placed throughout the room, barely illuminating this quaint study.

"Do you think there is a normal person who has never dreamed...Does the place you chose not have electricity?"

Zhu Jue looked at the layout of the room in front of him, which was completely different from the high-end place he saw outside when he came before.

The wooden bookshelf surrounding the walls, strangely, there is no book on it. The gentleman's desk is located in the middle of these bookshelfs. The floor under his feet is even paved with bricks and stones, and there is still some floating dust in the gaps.

It is hard to imagine that Zhu Jue was riding aboard a air boat over Shuguang City five minutes ago, and suddenly arrived in such an ancient room five minutes later.

The sudden change in the environment made him feel inexplicably confused.

If the phone hadn't received the signal normally, Zhu Jue would have to ask what year and year it was.

"I bought this place and renovated the room. As a gathering and meeting place for the team, when I was decorating the place, the designers were indeed specially designed to decorate the European medieval state, so I didn't even have the most basic lighting. As for the reason, it was to adapt to certain environments in advance. Before each trip, I would ask the members to gather here, on the one hand to discuss the travel plan, and on the other hand to change the mindset."

The gentleman's eyes stopped on the wind chime, and then continued,

"Let's go back to the topic just now. Have you ever thought about dreams coming true?"

"Hey, if you call me here to talk to me about your dreams, I advise you not to waste that time. Everyone is adult, so you can't speak directly?"

When he heard the gentleman's words, he wanted to attack the game again, Zhu Jue frowned and said in a blatant manner.

Zhu Jueke had never had any respect or fear for this guy beside him. If he hadn't known some special information, he would have been completely cold now.

A gentleman could make Zhu Jue vaguely sense a hint of threat, but he was not as good as the middle-aged man he met in the black market before.

"You are indeed a very interesting person. No one has spoken to me like this for a long time. So I'll be more blunt. Have you played the game I gave you two days ago?"

The candlelight beside him trembled in an instant, and the gentleman's eyes condensed and kept smiling.

"The game is pretty good, but why did you give me that game?"

The game Zhu Jue mentioned is naturally "Assassin's Creed: Assassin's Whole City Assassin". It was not bought online, but a gentleman delivered the game and the matching game equipment to the door through express delivery. When Zhu Jue came out to sign for it, he was stunned for a while. After checking it over and over again, he opened it and played for two days.

"Some of the settings of this game are very similar to what we will go through next, so I treat it as a novice teaching to you. I would prepare a copy for them when recruiting newcomers."

"Tomorrow night, we will go to the alien space you mentioned before. We call it a fantasy dream. Its world environment is somewhat similar to the environment in the game, and it is quite a bit of a life state in the medieval European era. You can think that you are going to create new characters in it."

"We must find a way to hide our identity. Apart from our teammates, we cannot let anyone know, because there are many enemies, not only those with the same identity as us, but also some natives in the dreamland. They are keen to get something by killing us. After all, outsiders are always not so easily accepted."

"Dream Merchant, this is a main profession and a unified identity for us. However, with different ideas and actions of each person, most people will take the initiative to "change jobs". I formed a traveler team with the purpose of finding treasures in dreams. Those who specialize in trouble with us are dream eaters, including dream merchants and some more special identities... The situation in this regard is a bit complicated, and it is difficult to explain it in a short period of time. You only need to know that there is basically no possibility of negotiation or cooperation between dream eaters and travelers, so don't be deceived by some dream eaters... There are only so many for the time being, I think it should be simple enough."

These contents are obviously abbreviated versions, and the gentleman did not intend to finish the information about the Dream World in one breath, because the information he has learned so far is only two places, and it is not realistic to ask him to analyze something.

However, even so, the "captain" of the team is still responsible. In order to make the newcomer Zhu Jue understand earlier, he actually found a game to give an example.

Listening to his introduction, Zhu Jue, who was standing beside him, subconsciously recalled the scene he had seen in the different space of Fangdoushan.

You should know that Zhu Jue always thought that the strange space was just a wasteland with monsters. Unexpectedly, there were people living inside. Thinking about it, the strange and disgusting screams he heard in his ears were not the sound of the wind in the wasteland?

"what's on your mind?"

Zhu Jue's contemplation attracted the attention of the gentleman.

“What can I get from what you call travel?”

In fact, Zhu Jue didn't care much about the name of this strange space and the strange enemies in it. He participated in this matter from beginning to end to obtain treasures that could strengthen his mental power.

What he couldn't wait to know was how to get them from this alien space.

"This is a good question. I think you should have felt its effectiveness as a gift package for beginners. It can unearth the special power of human beings. Some people call it mental power, and some people propose titles such as soul energy or mental power, but there is no doubt that it is a power that truly belongs to the human being, not ability injections, mechanical transformations, and other enhancements achieved through external technology or other technologies... Of course, I am not saying that the latter is not strong, but just saying a relative concept."

The gentleman seemed to be prepared for Zhu Jue's question. He turned his head slightly and wiped his fingers over the candle at the top of the candle. The next second, a flame was guided to his fingers. Then the flame seemed to be stretched by an invisible palm,

"This ability is extremely rare in our world, and only a small number of people can access it, but in the fantasy and dream world, it is a very common thing. Those who live in the ancient world abandon technology and embrace mystery. What we people need to do is to embrace mystery better with the power of technology."

"The world of fantasy dreams is very special. Some ancient books that have been passed down to this day believe that it is a world composed of human dreams, but it has its own development trajectory. There are many special items in that world, and their acquisition methods are all kinds of strange ways. For example, the wine I gave you before came from a rodent monster in a forest. Its effect is to strengthen the soul or mental power. Most people pursue the same thing when they go to that world, liberate the soul!"

Perhaps to arouse Zhu Jue's interest, the gentleman even deliberately raised his tone when he mentioned this.

"It sounds interesting to liberate the soul."

He replied with a strange expression. Zhu Jue wanted to look happy, but he couldn't be excited no matter how he was.

God knows how strange it is when Zhu Jue discovered that the ultimate goal of these people was to accomplish something he had done a week ago.

No wonder the great race would say that before helping him liberate his soul this is an important technique comparable to the ancient crystal technology.
