The Game of Global Mining
Chapter 632 - 481: The Painter’s World
Both to persuade and to prevent getting beaten up, Chun decisively displayed his Grandmaster level skills:
Grandmaster level Module Combination!
Grandmaster level Sailing Technique!
Grandmaster level Spatial Technique!
Grandmaster level Rune Technique!
Grandmaster level Construction Technique!
Grandmaster level Swimming Technique!
Grandmaster level Artistic Swimming!
...
As for the Grandmaster level Magic Mirror Mastery, it's too confidential to display, and the Grandmaster level Gang Skills Bullshit Bragging won't be shown either. There are too many Master levels, afraid there's not enough time to check them all, so they won't be displayed.
At this moment, Jenny was shocked on the spot!
Haha, that's exactly the reaction Chun wanted, just like Eve back then!
Wait, Chun suddenly realized not only was the reaction the same, but she also seemed to resemble Eve a little in the eyebrows — holy shit, could she be Eve's half-sister? Is she also a "City Beauty Project" dropout? This could also explain why she's so strong, why she hides her name!
Chun looked at Vivian and found her equally shocked!
Well, it's also my first time showing off my skills in front of her, right?
Vivian instantly snapped back and immediately introduced to Jenny, "This is my... lover."
Holy shit, you really are... well, it's alright considering we've known each other the longest. So does this mean I've cuckolded Fei Peng, or Fei Peng has cuckolded me?
Jenny closed her mouth: "You seem to be—"
Recognized me? No need to say it out loud, it would only freak the dream into awakening.
Chun quickly stopped her: "Such matters are confidential, I am here to help Miss Jenny break through to Grandmaster level."
Jenny didn't waste words: "Alright, let's go for a walk outside, look for some peculiar people?"
Great! Chun directly named, "For example, the street painter Van Gogh, the fisherman Hemingway... Has Miss Jenny heard of them?"
Jenny shook her head in confusion, Vivian also shrugged indicating she didn't know.
"Then let's set off."
Chun suddenly felt a bit conflicted, theoretically speaking these people should be asleep and thus unseeable, should they pay a visit? That sounds pretty abstract...
In any case, the current focus is to research what the state of sleepwalking is.
So Jenny headed towards the factory gate, with Chun and the others following.
At this moment, a security guard suddenly appeared from the small house next to the factory gate: "Miss Jenny, where are you going?"
Chun was stunned, was I discovered by the guard?
But seeing the guard's expression, he was only staring at Jenny, not seeing anyone else?
Jenny said: "Please open the gate, I'm going out for a walk to find inspiration."
The security guard didn't waste time: "Then Miss Jenny, please come back early."
Chun confirmed it, the guard truly didn't see him! So this guard is possibly a real-world guard?
So they went out, and the street was bustling with the night market, Chun suddenly noticed quite a few players walking around the street! He even saw the Black Cat following on top of a wall.
Holy shit, normal players certainly can't appear in the Dream Realm, so Chun could almost confirm it, a Sleepwalker exists simultaneously in reality and the Dream Realm, this is truly a brand new subject!
At this moment, Aileen from the mirror spoke: "Watch out! I'll use some Illusion Technique."
A bright spot appeared on a tall building within a few dozen meters of Chun's map, it was a surveillance Magic Mirror!
Then Aileen's Mirror Light flashed, and the bright spot suddenly moved hundreds of meters away.
Chun was amazed: "What's this?"
Aileen laughed: "I simply warped the light a bit, making us appear far away to them, and them far away to us."
Ah, impressive trickery! Very good.
They came to the plaza where the painter painted.
No one! As expected, they've packed up and gone home.
They'll have to visit in person, although this operation is abstract, Jenny is like a moving Dream Realm, as long as her Dream Realm moves to Van Gogh's house, perhaps that house would become a Dream Realm too.
But Vivian discovered a small mist on the ground: "An Obsession! The painter left this?"
Chun was stunned: "Can you actually see this?"
Vivian laughed: "Darling, I've spent the whole day reading up on this—"
Uh, wait, you suddenly referring to me as darling, I'm not quite used to it!
Vivian continued: "This world is like a mille-feuille, divided into plane channels, like humans and dogs are on the same channel, yet dogs can hear sounds humans can't, and even see things humans can't, there's still a difference. Similarly, Black Cats, bats, toads, spiders, and other Magical Pets can see a lot of magic energy, they're actually on the Magic Energy plane. Then, some people can often see ghosts, which are on the Necromancer plane. As for this Obsession, it's on the Dream Realm plane, often seen in the Dream or Necromancer plane."
"Of course, sometimes the layering of planes isn't very clear, they're often distorted, mixed together, like this Gem City, after extensive use of Magic, the Magic Energy plane and reality twisted together, so novice Mages and apprentices find it easier to become talented here in Gem City, which is also why tuition here is so expensive."
Wow! The books you read are quite professional! Like the aristocratic collection at Fatty's house?
Chun immediately asked an interesting question: "I've had an out-of-body experience for quite some time, but rarely encounter ghosts on the street, is it because I'm not on the Necromancer plane?"
Vivian laughed: "Yes, living and Necromancer souls are both in a soul state, but there's still that tiny difference. However, if a place has many deaths and the Obsession grows strong enough, it distorts the planes, leading to haunting occurrences, or dreams of the deceased."
Ah... that explains the principle of Evil Spirit Island!
Jenny was also fascinated: "So how do we handle this?"
Vivian laughed: "Perhaps, since we've confirmed it's Van Gogh's Obsession, shouting Van Gogh's name at it might summon him."
Jenny was amazed: "Shall I shout then?"
Chun panicked: "No, there are too many people in the street, better let Vivian shout."
After all, she's a Sleepwalker, that earlier question "how to handle this" would sound really strange to others.
Vivian began stirring the mist: "Van Gogh, someone has come to admire your artwork!"
After shouting ten sentences in a row, a colorful blur appeared on the street!
Holy shit, it actually worked!
Vivian was amazed: "Is it him?"
Mina was shocked: "The strength of this Obsession rivals Miss Jenny's!"
Chun was also bewildered: "The key is, his Obsession is colorful?"
As they spoke, the colorful blur approached, inside was a tall, thin young man with glasses, definitely not a fleshly sleepwalker!
In the next moment, the scene around Chun changed, the entire street became colorful, the buildings twisted, resembling a kindergarten kid's doodle world, also like the scribbled cloth from Fan's art class! More like the hallucinations after eating too many Yunnan mushrooms...
—— System Message: Your team has entered Van Gogh's Dream Realm!
Ah, two Dream Realms overlapped?
The young man asked: "What do you see?"
Chun didn't understand, but replied, "Great art!"
