My Dungeons Are Popular - Chapter 115
Chapter 115: Favor
“It’s for discussing business.” After hearing Qiu Ren’s explanation, Wanxiang’s nerves calmed a bit.
However, once she calmed down, she felt a bit sad as well. She was probably thinking, “It’s just for discussing business.”
“So, we can now…”
Qiu Ren felt a dull ache in his forehead again while speaking.
The negative impact brought by the Shadow Beast still hadn’t dissipated. He suddenly felt someone pressing the two acupuncture points at the bottom of his neck.
This press relieved the pain in Qiu Ren’s forehead all of a sudden.
“Your symptoms being eroded by nightmares are very serious right now. Don’t try to run everywhere again, whether it’s in the dream world or the reality,” Kan Shaoni said from behind Qiu Ren.
As an experienced Dream Explorer, Kan Shaoni could see his current physical condition.
The symptoms Nightmare Makers had when they were eroded by nightmares were different from those of the Dream Explorers.
Dream Explorers mostly suffered from physical injuries, while Dream Makers suffered from mental traumas. The situation where Dream Makers were devoured by the Lords of Nightmare and became their puppets wasn’t uncommon.
“There’s something urgent I must deal with. Besides, Sister Shaoni, don’t you think the doctors at the research institute give me too heavy doses?”
Qiu Ren turned his head to the side and made a hint to Kan Shaoni.
Kan Shaoni had learned about knowledge related to interrogation after all. Judging by Qiu Ren’s expression and his words, she knew what he meant: “There’s someone we can’t trust in the Central Research Institute.”
“You’ll make me lose my job!” Kan Shaoni lowered her voice and whispered in Qiu Ren’s ear.
Qiu Ren had to undergo a comprehensive physical examination after this, and he must report everything he encountered in the nightmare.
Even though Qiu Ren didn’t do anything that he had to hide in the Nightmare Dungeon, the Central Research Institute could never know about the decision between Qiu Ren and Erlang Shen.
“It’s not as simple as losing your job, isn’t it? But Sister Shaoni, if you’re really so worried about losing your job, I’ll just pay you in the future.”
What are you talking about, kid?
Kan Shaoni pressed the two acupuncture points at the bottom of Qiu Ren’s neck even harder, making him feel so painful that he gasped.
Qiu Ren didn’t fool around anymore. He knew clearly what would happen if he refused to be examined by the Central Research Institute and ran away at this time.
Kan Shaoni had served the Dream Exploration Bureau for so many years. She had already gained a lot of honors. After a few more years, she would either retire or climb a few levels to become the Deputy Director of the Dream Exploration Bureau.
Anyway, she had an extremely promising future ahead. She didn’t have to follow and fool around with Qiu Ren, this kid, leaving a blot that couldn’t be washed away at all in her career at this time.
However…
“Let’s go. I still owe you a favor. I can pay you back right now. Where do you want to go?” Kan Shaoni leaned over to Qiu Ren’s ear and asked.
“A favor?” Qiu Ren didn’t remember what Aunt Kan owed him.
Qiu Ren should even thank Kan Shaoni for taking care of him during this period of time. In this lonely world, Kan Shaoni gave Qiu Ren the warmth of being taken care of by a sister.
“You saved all the Dream Explorers in Fengdu Prison and let those death row prisoners live for a while longer. I haven’t got the chance to return this favor,” Kan Shaoni said.
That was the favor she was talking about.
The construction of the chicken-eating game had greatly reduced the casualties of Dream Explorers in Fengdu Prison. The agents in Fengdu Prison were all Kan Shaoni’s colleagues. She had watched too many of her colleagues die in the Nightmare Dungeon, but she couldn’t do anything at all.
The death of her comrades one after another was a kind of torture for Kan Shaoni. So, when Qiu Ren met her the first time, she seemed very cheerful on the outside but was shrouded by a gloomy emotion on the inside.
Now, though, she had wholly turned into a free, weird aunt.
“Let’s get out of here first… I’m not sure either.”
“Not sure? Fine! Sit here.”
Kan Shaoni found a wheelchair for Qiu Ren to sit in. Qiu Ren had just woken up and his body was weak, so he shouldn’t be running a long distance.
“Xiao Wan, you…” Kan Shaoni wanted to ask Wanxiang to stay here.
“I’m coming with you.” Wanxiang seemed very determined.
Fine, you two just fool around together.
After Kan Shaoni let Qiu Ren sit in the wheelchair, the doctors of the Central Research Institute also walked in.
“Agent Kan, please take Qiu Ren to the medical office for a checkup.” These doctors didn’t seem to notice that Qiu Ren and Kan Shaoni were planning to run away.
Kan Shaoni successfully pushed Qiu Ren to the corridor of the Central Research Institute. When she briskly walked towards the other side of the corridor, she suddenly said to Wanxiang next to her, “Open the door on the left!”
Wanxiang reacted swiftly. After all, she also had the experience of fighting in the Warzone.
Kan Shaoni took Qiu Ren around the Central Research Institute and came all the way to the outdoor location where she had parked her car.
“Get in.”
Kan Shaoni sat in the driver’s seat after directly tucking Qiu Ren and Wanxiang in the back seat.
“I thought the alarm of the Central Research Institute would ring.”
Qiu Ren looked at the Central Research Institute that didn’t have any movement at all through the car window, as if the escape of Qiu Ren and Kan Shaoni this time was as normal as getting off work.
“It has already rung, but Director Lu suppressed it. However, he won’t be able to do that for long. In less than one hour, the staff members of the Central Research Institute probably won’t be the only ones who come to catch us but the full police force.”
Kan Shaoni then showed Qiu Ren the text message from Director Lu on her phone.
“Now, you better tell me clearly where you want to go.”
“I need some Creation Points, a huge amount of Creation Points.” Qiu Ren made a dangerous remark again.
If an animation of a pistol loading was paired with Qiu Ren, Kan Shaoni would have thought he was about to rob the bank.
“You still lack Creation Points?” While talking, Kan Shaoni had already driven the car out of the Central Research Institute.
“I have enough for myself, but it’s not just me now.”
Qiu Ren indeed didn’t lack Creation Points in the past. Tapir and Lian both gave him a Level B Dream Seed as his reward every month.
He wouldn’t have to worry about his life just by selling Level B Dream Seeds.
And yet, he had a lot more mouths to feed now, including Mia’s Goddess, Erlang Shen, and those two superheroes.
Judging from the consumption when Qiu Ren created the Darkin Blade for the Flash…
Qiu Ren was going to build a new life for Erlang Shen and create new productions for the immortals of the Heavenly Court and the superheroes, who might come to ask Qiu Ren for help in the future, and also the other retiring dream consciousnesses.
Even if Qiu Ren went to rob a bank, the number of Creation Points might not be enough.
“So, you want to try your luck with Xiao Wan’s father? May I ask why you’re not asking the Central Research Institute for help? Or where did you get your new dream consciousness?” Kan Shaoni looked at Qiu Ren through the rear-view mirror and asked.
There was only one reason why Qiu Ren needed a large number of Creation Points: capture new dream consciousness or Lords of Nightmare.
The Central Research Institute had kept the incident of Qiu Ren catching the mother of the Army, Alaina, highly confidential, but they still allowed him to apply for a huge sum of money for Alaina’s food.
Qiu Ren hadn’t used much of the application quota. As long as the soldiers of the Army under Alaina’s command kept fighting in Warzone, she would be able to provide for herself and increase her control over the Nightmare Dungeon of the Army at the same time.
And now, Qiu Ren needed Creation Points so urgently again, but he wasn’t asking the Central Research Institute for help. Kan Shaoni could only think of one possibility. The dream consciousness Qiu Ren had just abducted was very likely to be…
“It’s from the Central Research Institute,” Qiu Ren said as he pointed at the Central Research Institute that went further and further away in the rear-view mirror.
This reply scared Kan Shaoni so much that she almost broke the brakes.
It wasn’t a problem for Qiu Ren to abduct the dream consciousnesses from Europe and the United States, but he even poached a dream consciousness from the research institute?
No wonder Qiu Ren packed his things and ran away at such a high speed.
“Don’t do anything stupid!” Kan Shaoni was really afraid that Qiu Ren would randomly modify the Dream Seed of the Central Research Institute without understanding things.
Qiu Ren wasn’t a newbie in this regard. It was just that the two previous times ended up quite well. This time…
“I know what I’m doing. Finding Wanxiang’s father is just one of the ways. Anyway, I’ll just try the most feasible one first. Now, please take me back to the dorm, so I can take my laptop and scripts.”
Ocean Dream Media was the dream media company that Qiu Ren was most familiar with. Their Chief Dream Maker was the comrade who had resisted the invasion of the Dream Eaters with Qiu Ren.
If Qiu Ren could get their help again, he was confident that it wouldn’t be a problem for him to adopt a hundred Lords of Nightmare and dream consciousnesses.
