A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 417 Entering the Dream

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past three years, Jiang Shuzhou has steadily advanced his research.

In addition to dream research, Jiang Shuzhou also fully utilized his time management skills to launch several other projects.

For example, the study of rune construction and time, and of course, the study of flesh and blood creatures, etc.

With Denuozhi's help, Jiang Shuzhou was able to handle so many projects with ease. Although time was tight, with Denuozhi's tireless assistance, he managed to research and develop some things.

First, there's the rune construct. Jiang Shuzhou has upgraded the Breathing Technique version to a high level, and it's basically flawless enough to be a new class.

After all, that's how musketeers are; there are no saint-level musketeers, and the reason is simple: the equipment requirements are too high.

Musketeers' combat effectiveness relies heavily on their equipment, and in the Sanctuary, everyone is the same, with similar equipment.

Moreover, musketeers lack the ability to manufacture their own equipment. Unless they possess extraordinary equipment like Denozzi, they are simply unable to form a fighting force.

However, compared to the Musketeer, Jiang Shuzhou's construct warrior is already quite good. After all, the path ahead is the same as the warrior, only it's an improved version, which can better help the warrior get through the early game.

Without a doubt, as a generous and magnanimous monk, Jiang Shuzhou directly revealed his breathing technique.

After all, how much money do you make selling breathing techniques? It's better to sell the accompanying rune constructs; that's where the real money comes in.

The results were remarkable. Three months after the breathing technique was announced, orders for Tier 1 rune constructs surged, reaching more than ten times the original amount.

At this point, warriors with good talent and powerful backers had already advanced to the first tier, and some had even reached the second tier.

Without a doubt, this is just the beginning.

Thanks to the production from the Flesh and Blood Workshop, Jiang Shuzhou was still able to barely keep up with the demand.

We are now urgently increasing production to meet everyone's needs as much as possible.

"Professor, the lab report is finished."

De Nuozhi, who had been exploited by Jiang Shuzhou, was now on the verge of collapse. She hadn't had a break for a long time and had to expend a lot of mental energy every day, as well as a lot of energy to do all sorts of things. De Nuozhi felt like she had been completely drained.

"Good, this time your name will be listed as the second author."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded, quite satisfied.

Denoz showed no anger at this, simply turned his head, leaned against Jiang Shuzhou, and then fell asleep.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't say anything about this, only that the student was still useful and could be given any kind of chores.

However, while Denoz was asleep, Jiang Shuzhou couldn't sleep; he still had a lot of things to do.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou draped his robe over Denozzi and then continued the experiment.

Over the years, Jiang Shuzhou has conducted in-depth research on dreams.

Through his research, he found and discovered a special resource, which Jiang Shuzhou named Dream Crystal. It is a crystal-like substance that contains a large amount of dream power.

Its concentration is very high, and through research, this crystal has been shown to enhance mages' mastery of the laws.

Jiang Shuzhou has improved his mastery of the laws considerably through these methods.

However, making this thing is not difficult; all you need is dream essence.

Through research, Jiang Shuzhou used the essence of dreams as a solution in a dream-transforming pool. He would throw various items containing the power of dreams into the pool, and these items would immediately melt.

Then, through special techniques and some processing, the dream crystallization is revealed.

This is undoubtedly a currency that can replace divine crystals.

However, Jiang Shuzhou does not plan to make it public for the time being, mainly because it is not necessary at the moment. Some things involve too much interest, so we should be more cautious.

Of course, there are always trade-offs. All these successes and gains have been built on the deaths of countless orcs.

To date, Jiang Shuzhou has thrown over 130 million orcs into prison.

But their sacrifice was worthwhile.

Jiang Shuzhou leaned down and looked down.

He saw a bustling scene, with countless players talking to each other and buying and selling.

Not long ago, the entire prison was completely invaded by dreams, which contained a large number of monsters and all kinds of dreams.

At the same time, it also contains a large number of items that contain dream elements, and these are all good things.

However, the level of danger involved is quite high, and Jiang Shuzhou would be at a disadvantage if he sent his own people.

Where can we find such a group of hardworking and helpful people?

Naturally, Jiang Shuzhou thought of his fellow villagers.

So, Jiang Shuzhou negotiated with Professor Wang and tricked some fellow villagers who were also players into becoming Dream Hunters.

A dream hunter is someone who searches for valuable items in dreams and brings them out.

It perfectly matches the players' experience, as they all fight monsters, level up, and obtain equipment.

So Jiang Shuzhou handed all these tasks over to the players.

Of course, if Jiang Shuzhou didn't tell anyone, no one would know about the dream crystals.

He directly collects items from players, claiming they are for research purposes. After all, among the living people in the entire alliance, there is basically no one who understands dreams better than Jiang Shuzhou.

However, Jiang Shuzhou could sense that he had fallen into a bottleneck.

The control over the laws of dreams can no longer be improved even slightly.

The progress in mastering other laws is also extremely slow.

Perhaps, it's time.

It's time to go into the dream for yourself.

Seeing is better than hearing.

As he pondered, Jiang Shuzhou felt a little tempted.

They got right to it, but before that, Jiang Shuzhou needed to prepare safety measures.

For example, emergency equipment that can help you escape from a dream.

After that, Jiang Shuzhou got busy.

Before long, a necklace personally created by Jiang Shuzhou was placed around his neck.

The necklace is shaped like an open book and is entirely silver.

Its function is to pull Jiang Shuzhou out of his dream when he is in danger.

"Remember, wake me up if you notice anything wrong."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"Yes, Master."

"Laps said."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded, then closed his eyes, letting the dream engulf him.

As the sensation of descending into the sea came over him, Jiang Shuzhou regained consciousness.

He appeared in a hotel.

The hotel has a simple design, just like any other typical bar-hotel combination, with a bar on the first floor and a hotel on the second floor.

"Where am I?"

Jiang Shuzhou was somewhat dazed. He felt a splitting headache and also sensed that something was very wrong.

Jiang Shuzhou could sense that the world was something that could be kneaded at will.

It seems that he has become somewhat different, but Jiang Shuzhou still has a vague feeling about what is different.
