Chapter 971: Chapter 770: Creating Dungeons in Dreams

Nestor Headquarters, high-level suite.

Xu Yang and Farosa together.

"My biggest feeling about the whole thing is...strange." Farosa bent one leg.

She was covered by a silk blanket, like covering two mountains with a curtain, still vaguely visible, the contours discernible.

Xu Yang turned off the lights.

The neon lights outside and the holographic ads flickered frequently, like ripples of light and shadow.

"What’s strange?" He lay down next to Farosa.

"I can’t influence it at all."

"Cyber warfare?"

"Of course, they launched a cyber attack, and I can’t surf the web. I was very angry at first, but I found I couldn’t even fight back. Law of Recovery can only piece together burnt cables, but most of the machines look perfectly intact on the outside, I can’t see what’s happening inside, and I can’t tell which one is broken. All I can do is stand by, like a clueless person." Farosa complained.

The confrontation with modern technology is indeed different from the past. Xu Yang pondered.

It’s as if an independent ecosystem had been magically created outside the real world—the network world has its own set of laws.

This is also a limitation for the Witch.

It’s not like any Witch is born with Magic Power to "control web traffic" or something.

Unless she is a Reality Manipulator who can directly alter reality.

"Does it make you feel uneasy?" Xu Yang explored Farosa’s thoughts.

"I don’t know, it’s like being attacked by an invisible assassin or a Formless Phase Demon. I can only stand by and watch, collecting people’s anxious emotions... it’s really bad." Farosa slowly said.

"It will get better." Xu Yang reassured her.

They made an agreement.

"...Where were we?" Farosa pressed her forehead, looking for more blankets, "Oh, my unease, it’s gone now, it’s all past."

"But you seem to be thinking about something else." Xu Yang observed Farosa.

Farosa closed her eyes and contemplated.

"I’m thinking about something else, I appear in the dreams of other Witches, but I don’t really have any specific message to convey, so I just lay facing away from them." she said.

"What? Like a silent mountain?"

"Yes, they just watch me from a distance in their dreams, after all, I can’t show my true face."

"Maybe you can expand your Power, that is... create your own Dream World of Witches, a unique world, place mountains, stairs, and challenges in it, allowing Witches to climb in their dreams. Then you will no longer be a silent figure." Xu Yang shared his whimsical ideas.

Farosa was moved by the concept Xu Yang proposed.

"Yes, I could create a Dream Porch, a maze, and complex mechanisms. I could observe how they deal with these mechanisms in dreams and then discern their personalities and abilities." Farosa reflected.

Because their fingers accidentally touched, they made another agreement.

"Huff... huff..." After the event, Farosa wiped her face, "Where were we?"

"A maze within a dream." Xu Yang said.

"Yes, I will create a massive dream for Witches they enter at night." Farosa began constructing her dreamscape, "The dreaming Witches can come into this huge dream, it’s twisting, surreal, surpassing any physical understanding, unrecorded by any history, it’s the history I create."

Farosa curled up under the blankets, beginning to construct her Dream World of Witches.

She would trap the Witches within, the weak ones would be haunted by nightmares, the cunning ones would benefit, and thus crave more dreams, seeking enlightenment from the Witch Goddess in their dreams.

In this way, Farosa would be able to select powerful Witches from around the world, subtly manipulate them, and establish a reliable connection with them.

It seems the Witches will have wonderful dreams from now on. Xu Yang thought to himself.

Since Farosa is the Witch Goddess, subverting a large number of enemy Witches would not be difficult. But the scale must be controlled, otherwise the opposing forces might notice and retaliate.

Xu Yang also lay down to rest and recover his strength.

Due to the time difference in various places, Xu Yang could switch his areas of work at will when his body was in a dormant state, adjusting his focus of work.

In Hot Tree Continent, the "Cyber Specter" was still battling in the north and south.

Unknowingly, it had amassed a Mechanical Legion that included 20,000 human and mechanical personnel, 750 heavy vehicles, and had established over 80 bases in the inland areas of Hot Tree Continent, with an impressive population of 23 million under its control, yet, given the size of Hot Tree Continent, it was still sparsely populated.

Due to poor foundations, Xu Yang’s work in Hot Tree Continent still revolved around robotics.

The local people, uneducated, could only engage in rudimentary machinery maintenance work, earning wages from it and broadening their horizons.

In other places, robots cared for the human population, but in the new world order of Hot Tree Continent, it was humans who looked after the mechanical needs of robots, ensuring they received the best maintenance.

After all, the efficiency of one robot was about that of 100 local people combined. Through this process, it was also possible to gradually cultivate skilled craftsmen and mechanical apprentices.

From the initial tension and discomfort, the local people gradually adapted to their new way of life.

Ratman also kept flowing into Hot Tree Continent through various channels, joining under Sally’s command. Humans, machines, and Ratman, worked day and night mining raw materials, building roads, generating power, organizing production, building homes.
