"I wonder if there's such a thing as food replenishment in the dream. Otherwise, using the dream to digest food is another way. After all, the time flow in the dream is different from the real world, so it's definitely an advantage that I can exploit. " Big beads of sweat rolled down Tang Ling's body and converged into a thin stream before dripping to the ground.
However, Tang Ling seemed to ignore the pain as he continued to use the eating method that Su Yao had taught him to speed up his digestion.
Every movement he made felt like he was in extreme pain, but Tang Ling had gotten used to it. The energy in the Level 3 vicious beast meat was more violent, so compared to the Level 2 vicious beast meat, it was considered a lot gentler.
Therefore, Tang Ling was able to retain the energy to think and calculate the best way to digest the food.
Through his Precise Instinct, he vaguely sensed that 100 grams of Level 2 vicious beast meat provided him with energy equivalent to 1/20 of the same weight of Level 3 vicious beast meat. It seemed like the difference between the ranks was also unusually huge. Perhaps he could infer the strength difference between vicious beasts from the minute data.
Because of the difference in strength, the 100g of Level 2 vicious beast meat was digested faster than he expected.
When Tang Ling broke free from his weakened state, only 11 minutes had passed.
He removed his shirt and glanced at the countdown timer on his arm. There were 18 more minutes until the dream officially started, yet his body and the seed did not feel full.
With that in mind, Tang Ling grabbed another handful of Level 2 vicious beast meat jerky. It was a little more than the first, but he dared not risk it. The handful of vicious beast meat was only around 120 grams.
He chewed it quickly and swallowed it into his stomach.
Then, he repeated the eating method and the tremendous pain engulfed him again.
If the members of the Fierce Dragon Squad were there, they would understand where Tang Ling got his strength from. Every single time he endured the pain was his limit. Even the giant Leceister silverback bear, a king beast that was a few times stronger than a human, was defeated, yet Tang Ling did not even have the time to catch his breath as he tortured himself again and again.
Tang Ling did not care though. He was more concerned about the problem that popped up in his mind. He wanted to use the time advantage in the dream to quickly improve himself.
It was not entirely impossible.
As long as he didn't start killing as soon as he entered the Dreamscape, he would definitely have extra time to do this.
Thirdly, the Dream World was a reflection of reality. For example, injuries and deaths would be reflected in reality, but was this a complete reflection of reality? If that was the case, then this matter was truly feasible.
This time around, in order to bring his weapons in and refill himself, he purposely brought all the Level 2 vicious beast meat with him.
If 2.5kgs of Level 2 vicious beast meat could be consumed in a single dream, it would be a huge temptation for him.
He could not wait to give it a try.
Time passed slowly as he digested the food in agony.
Once again, the Level 2 vicious beast jerky was digested.
The weakened state made it difficult for him to even sit with his legs crossed.
Slowly, the weakness started to weaken and the strength of his body started to recover …
But when would the dream begin? Tang Ling widened his eyes. He really wanted to know how the Dream World could drag him into the dream.
The last time he entered the dream, the indistinguishable feeling of being in a trance was still unforgettable.
It was at that moment that the lights in the training room flickered a few times before it was completely dark.
Are the staff of the Tower that irresponsible? How can the lights in such an important place be broken?!
Tang Ling grumbled in his heart, but he could no longer open the door for the staff to check. However, the sudden darkness made him feel uneasy. He stood up and wanted to press the switch again to see if he could light up the room again.
Therefore, Tang Ling groped his way to the door. Just as he was about to reach the door, he sensed a weak light behind him.
Tang Ling turned around nervously and realized that there was a small black door on the wall.
Countless glimmers seeped through the seams of the small door and shone into the dark room.
Tang Ling was stunned. Am I already in the dream?
As a matter of fact, other than entering the dream unknowingly, there was no other explanation for what happened before his eyes.
"This is incomparably brilliant." Tang Ling shook his head, but he was already in front of the small black door.
It was a delicate little door with carvings that Tang Ling could not quite understand. On top of the door, there was a handle with a jade-like luster that was very eye-catching.
With excitement and a little nervousness, Tang Ling placed his hand on the handle and slowly tightened his grip.
At that very moment, a strange thought popped up in his mind. Would every Dream Seed enter the dream world through this door? Or would only he pass through this door?
There was no reason for this thought, and the question itself was even more baffling and meaningless.
Therefore, Tang Ling did not think too much about it. He took a deep breath and pulled the door open.
The moment the door opened, a blinding white light gushed out. Tang Ling instinctively raised his hand, lowered his head, and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he realized that the door in his hand and the training room behind him were gone.
He was standing on an empty plot of plain green bricks. In front of the empty plot of land was a huge city surrounded by black walls that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The sky above the city was shrouded in mist. Even though the black walls were only around 10 meters tall, the buildings in the city looked a little blurry. The only eye-catching thing was a mountain peak in the center of the city. It did not seem to be affected by the mist and stood out like a sore thumb in Tang Ling's eyes.
At first glance, Tang Ling had a strong feeling that the peak of the mountain was the end of the dream world.
The moment the feeling appeared, it was deeply rooted in his mind and could not be shaken.
However, the mountain peak was a little strange. It looked like a tower, but it was upside down. The closer it was to the peak, the wider it was, and the lower it was, the smaller it was.
However, the bottom part of the mountain was drowned by the city's buildings, so Tang Ling could not get a clear look.
"If the peak of the mountain is the end, why hasn't anyone reached the end of the dream world for more than 150 years? This mountain peak doesn't seem too far away, and the longest time anyone can enter the dream world is one to two years. Why? " Tang Ling was not in a hurry to move. Instead, he stood on the plain and plain plot of land, gazing at the city shrouded in mist from afar as he pondered quietly.
However, pondering was not going to yield any results. At the same time, a melodious bell chime echoed in the empty plot of land. The black walls suddenly became clear and a giant red door slowly appeared on top of the black walls, facing Tang Ling.
Another door? Is it telling me to enter the city faster?
As Tang Ling pondered, the Dream Seed mark on his arm started to heat up without a sign. An emotionless voice echoed in his ears.
"Open the Desolate Door in 10 minutes and enter the Dream Domain. If you don't enter within the time limit, you'll be disqualified as a Dream Seed. "
"Is it that serious?" Tang Ling dared not stay any longer after he heard the voice. He dashed towards the giant red door.
Even though the situation was serious, Tang Ling was not overly nervous. He was less than 200 meters away from the door, and with his speed, he could easily reach the door in a minute, let alone 10 minutes.
Maybe the difficulty of the mission lies in opening the door.
That was the first thought that popped up in Tang Ling's mind, but after he ran for a while, his expression changed.
No matter how hard he ran and approached the red door, his Precise Instinct told him that he could not even get close to the door.
Tang Ling's expression changed. He had no idea what was going on, and the Dream Seed mark did not even give him a hint about the mission.
"Did I approach it the wrong way?" Tang Ling stopped and tried to walk.
However, the thought was ridiculous. He could not even run, let alone walk.
Tang Ling panicked and could not figure out what was going on at the moment.
Is this the difficulty of the actualized dream? Is this the reason why no one has reached the end of the dream world for 150 years? Is the entry mission that difficult?
How did the others clear the entry mission?
The thought calmed Tang Ling down. He realized that it might be because of his reverence for the dream world that he lost his composure. A simple mission was enough to mess him up.
Everything could be analyzed. For example, the goal of the dream world was to filter out those who could reach the end, not to purposely make things difficult for the Dream Seeds and eliminate them.
On top of that, the strength of the Dream Seed varied, but every Dream Seed was weak at the start. Since the dream world was so vast, the difficulty of the mission should be similar to the Dream Seed's strength.
Or rather, every mission should have its own way of clearing it. At least, there would be a slim chance of survival.
The key was to grasp the slim chance of survival!
With that in mind, Tang Ling's furrowed brows slowly eased up and soon, his eyes were filled with determination.
That must be it! That must be it!
After he calmed down, the smart Tang Ling quickly grasped an important point. If his deduction was correct …
With a calm expression, Tang Ling started to run again, but unlike before, this time, he no longer maintained a constant speed. Instead, he ran faster and faster, and his feet moved faster and faster.
"I'm not at my limit yet. Faster!"
"I'm not at my limit yet. I can still go faster!"
The correct way to run was to maintain a certain pace and even maintain a certain breathing rhythm. Only then would it be easier for him to persevere.
However, to run at his maximum speed, it was impossible to maintain a certain breathing rhythm, and in order to run at his maximum speed, one must be in an explosive state at all times.
Therefore, Tang Ling's breathing was messed up. Based on his current condition, running at his maximum speed for less than half a minute already exhausted him and his face was flushed.
Nevertheless, he eventually reached his maximum speed. With just a few steps, he was almost 40 meters away from the door.
"I'm right." Tang Ling smiled. As long as he found the right way, he would surely succeed.
Indeed, the foundation of the dream world was a single word — test.
One had to go through all kinds of tests to reach the end. Since it was a test, after analyzing the core of the test, the mission would be easy to decipher.
Opening the Desolate Door in ten minutes might seem normal, but as a matter of fact, the test of distance was related to speed, and opening the door was related to strength.
Therefore, during the process of getting closer to the Desolate Door, one had to use the fastest speed to get closer to the door.
Tang Ling's deduction was correct.
It was impossible for a human to maintain his maximum speed at all times, but with a direction, everything was no longer a problem.
Tang Ling kept adjusting his breathing and sprinting. Every time he ran beyond his maximum speed, he would get closer to the Desolate Door.
Therefore, even though the time limit for the mission was 10 minutes, after he grasped the method, Tang Ling reached the giant Desolate Door in less than three minutes.
He did not simply touch the door that was embedded with bronze nails and had a strong ancient Huaxia style. Instead, he stood in front of the door and quickly adjusted his breathing and paced slowly to calm his heartbeat.
It was then that the water bottle on his back came in handy. After a strenuous workout, a suitable and reasonable amount of water would help him recover his stamina.
Strength was different from speed as it would be consumed. Trying to open the door multiple times would only result in failure.
Therefore, the best way to solve the problem was to push the door open in one go.
After his heartbeat calmed down and his breathing stabilized, Tang Ling even sat down in front of the door. He had thought of two ways to open the door. The first was to use his explosive strength as the foundation and push the door open with all his might.
The second was to gradually push the door open with all the strength he could muster.
After more than 10 seconds of thought, Tang Ling chose the second method because explosive strength was an unreliable force. Its value could easily fluctuate due to various reasons.
After deciding on the method, Tang Ling stood up, took a deep breath, and placed both of his hands on the giant door.
He slowly exerted his strength and increased his strength bit by bit. Because of his Precise Instinct, he could feel how much strength he was exerting at all times, which undoubtedly increased his control over his strength. He would not blindly exert his strength in bursts and cause his value to fluctuate.
On top of that, Tang Ling already had a strong control over his body, so this level of the test was not difficult for him.
As he gradually increased his strength, the moment he used all of his strength, the huge red Desolate Door was pushed open with a bang.
The whole mission took 4 minutes and 47 seconds.
Tang Ling swung his aching arms. Could he finally see the true face of the Dream Domain?
Unfortunately, he did not.
When he stepped through the door, he was greeted by layers of thick fog. The fog seemed to be solid and flowed like sticky water. He couldn't see anything in front of him at all.
"Yo, congratulations! Let me think … How long has it been since I last activated the S entry difficulty? Ten years? 20 years? Or is it 60 years? "It was at this moment that a gentle and feminine voice echoed in Tang Ling's ears.
Instinctively, Tang Ling swung his wrist and the Wolf Crunch that was hidden in his sleeve appeared in his hand.
The dream reflected reality, and reality reflected the dream. From the moment Tang Ling entered the dream, he realized that he brought everything he had with him. The information provided by Su Yao was indeed very important.
However, did he run into an enemy so soon?
A figure slowly walked out from the watery mist. The figure seemed to have the ability to penetrate the mist, and as the figure got closer, Tang Ling clearly saw that it was a man.
Tall, he was at least 1.9 meters tall. His long black hair glowed with a translucent color, like black satin, and was casually draped over his back.
The hair color reminded Tang Ling of Kun, but the man was not Kun.
However, the man was not Kun. He looked a lot kinder and gentler than the lazy and unusually cold Kun. He had a sincere and warm smile on his face and his bright eyes were like crescent moons when he smiled.
He was wearing a long gray robe with his hands hidden in his sleeves. His face was also flawless, which made him feel friendly.
The gray robe was not as luxurious as Kun's black robe. It looked more like a cloth robe, but there were also many patterns embroidered on the robe that Tang Ling could not understand.
He stopped less than 5 meters away from Tang Ling.
Tang Ling would never be fooled by a person's appearance. He raised the Wolf Crunch in front of him and asked in a heavy voice, "Who are you?"
The smile on the man's face was even brighter. He took one of his hands out from his sleeves and in his hand were two dazzling golden light spots that resembled starlight.
Tang Ling had a deep impression of the glowing light spots the size of copper coins. They were Dream Coins. They were the Dream Coins!
The Dream Coins that he had been dreaming of!
"I'm the guide of the Dream Domain. You can call me Liu He. I don't always appear in dreams, and not every Dream Seed has the chance to see me. "
"No, to be precise, most of the Dream Seeds have never seen me before, so they don't know of my existence. But none of that matters. "
"More importantly, you're the fifth Dream Seed to complete the Rank S difficulty entry mission. More importantly, you took the shortest amount of time. "
So, before the real adventure begins, I'm here to give you two Dream Coins. That's all. "
The moment his voice subsided, two Dream Coins as beautiful as starlight flew out from Liu He's hand and floated in front of Tang Ling.
Tang Ling instinctively reached out his hand and the Dream Coin flew into his palm.
