World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1533 - 376: Dream Master (Part 2)
Besides the fact that Naphaya herself is a destitute fugitive Angel, it also shows that Star Dust is indeed highly valuable.
Now, judging from Ziwei’s performance, it really does seem to be the case.
Star Dust in his hands is just a common white item that can be extracted daily, yet here it’s incredibly precious.
Each piece is worth fifty million Star Coins, something that Zhang Xiaoman hadn’t anticipated.
Given this, it seems that he holds a substantial amount of funds, making it easier for him to purchase resources here in the future.
Zhang Xiaoman and Ziwei headed to the auction house through the teleport point, while Acatus and Hillna temporarily separated to shop for equipment nearby.
They also have quite a bit of money at hand, though perhaps a little lacking compared to the value of Star Dust.
But five million Star Coins is also an enviable fortune for a common Dark Spirit, enough for them to buy many items they desire.
On the way, Zhang Xiaoman asked Ziwei about the Star Dust.
Why does this thing hold such high value, yet has no market available, there must be a reason.
"Hehe, you don’t know, do you? Actually, Star Dust is more than just currency and material; it has another name—Dream Condensing Powder."
"Dream Condensing Powder? What does that mean?"
"Here, there’s a profession called ’Dream Master,’ their numbers are scarce, and they almost never get business, but these individuals can earn a fortune as soon as they do!"
Ziwei started explaining the relationship between Dream Condensing Powder and Dream Masters.
"Generally speaking, Dream Masters are rare Divine Thought Masters among Dark Spirits, and their job is all about dreaming!"
"Dream Masters possess powerful spiritual power and have mastered corresponding superficial consciousness control methods, enabling them to precisely control their Dream Realm, in other words, they dream whatever they wish to dream."
Zhang Xiaoman scratched his head; he still didn’t understand the link with Star Dust.
According to the popular saying on Water Blue Star, the Dream Master’s ability seems bizarre, "there’s everything in dreams."
However, he knew the matter wouldn’t be that simple; if Dream Masters merely dreamed, how could it become a profession?
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t interrupt but continued to listen to Ziwei.
"Without Dream Condensing Powder, Dream Masters might just dream and use Dream Realm projection devices to shoot or create films, games, and such..."
"But with the existence of Dream Condensing Powder, Dream Masters become formidable; they can use Dream Condensing Powder to extract items from the Dream Realm!"
"Condense the Dream Realm, turning illusions into reality! As long as they’re willing to imagine, willing to dream, Dream Masters can make anything in the Dream Realm become real! That’s the power of Dream Condensing Powder!"
Ziwei’s face revealed a look of yearning.
Zhang Xiaoman was astonished. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Dream Masters are that impressive? Per what you’re saying, can’t they create things from nothing, having whatever they want?"
Upon hearing this, Ziwei first nodded, then shook his head, saying:
"That’s the gist, yet Dream Masters face many limitations. For instance, if objects from the Dream Realm are to be condensed into reality, the quantity of Dream Condensing Powder required is inseparable from their feasibility and other attributes..."
"For example, if you wanted to condense a Dark Spiritual Material, the first element considered for successful condensation is its strength. One portion of Dream Condensing Powder cannot condense a level 5 material, that’s evident."
"Moreover, aside from the strength of the condensed item, its feasibility must be considered, including its name, origin, relation, characteristics, etc... The more logical and abiding by cosmic operation laws it is, the higher the success rate of condensation."
"Thus, Dream Masters aren’t as omnipotent as you might imagine..."
Ziwei summed up.
Zhang Xiaoman got a general understanding.
In summary, the high value of Star Dust is not only because it’s a precious material, but also heavily linked to the existence of Dream Masters; the two, in a certain sense, complement each other.
After listening to Ziwei’s explanation, he became interested in the Dream Master profession.
After all, he possesses a large amount of Star Dust, and unlike others, Zhang Xiaoman can acquire it effortlessly.
Under such circumstances, if he can master the abilities of Dream Masters, it will undoubtedly be immensely beneficial for him.
He decided to find an opportunity to understand everything after finishing his current tasks.
During their conversation, the two arrived at a massive circular exhibition hall.
This is the auction house in the trading center, where a grand auction will unfold three hours later.
Like other places on Skull Star, the auction house’s overall environment belongs to that patchwork cyberpunk style.
It’s as if on this planet, apart from the Dark Spirit Association Zhang Xiaoman visited earlier, which feels somewhat sci-fi, other places seem entirely unrelated to the imagined advanced civilization planet.
The current time is morning on this planet, with a lunch gap before the auction.
Zhang Xiaoman and Ziwei didn’t rush to enjoy cuisine but entered the auction house’s backstage, starting to interact with the staff here.
"Hello, I’m Yalekxie Alicia Kristosnovel, the director of the Star Realm Traveler Auction House... you can call me Yalei."
The speaker is a creature made entirely of blue Star Light.
To say it’s a creature might be a stretch; were it not for its humanoid silhouette, Zhang Xiaoman might think it was merely a mass of floating glow powder.
"That’s a member of the Void Spirit Clan, their names are super long, but we generally remember just the first two words."
Ziwei whispered.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded in understanding, otherwise, it’d be too verbose.
"Honorable guests, esteemed Controller, thank you for coming. I’ve heard you have Star Dust to consign; could I take a look?"
Yalei is wrapped in bands, which seemed to be his clothes, swaying non-stop as his body vibrated while he spoke.
"Ten portions of Star Dust, can your establishment take them? I need to sell them quickly, today at the auction."
Zhang Xiaoman spoke while taking out ten bottles of Star Dust from his storage ring, neatly arranged on the table before him.
As the Star Dust came out, the few in the room couldn’t help widening their eyes.
Of course, here, besides Zhang Xiaoman and Ziwei, the other creatures seemed not to have "eyes" as organs, but it didn’t prevent them from expressing their astonishment.
Led by Yalei, the Void Spirits exhibited a tremulous form, with glowing bodies constantly flickering, showing their inner unrest.
"Truly perfect artwork! Look at these Atama Crystal Dust, so wonderful, so powerful; seeing so much Atama Crystal Dust at once feels like a blessing from the Void God!"
Yalei nearly stuck himself over the bottles, judging by his tone, it seemed he greatly enjoyed the sensation.
Noticing Zhang Xiaoman’s slightly perplexed expression, Ziwei leaned over to quietly explain:
"Atama is what these Void Spirits call Star Dust; they believe it’s the shattered product of some crystal named Atama, and it’s said these Void Spirits can use Star Dust to enhance their strength..."
