Chapter 444: Chapter 440: Jade Dream
“Master Bai Qi, I want to confirm, is Leap Evolution really applicable to both Spirit Controllers and Beast Masters?”
Finally, someone asked the most crucial question.
“Isn’t there a Spirit Controller and a Beast Master standing on the stage? The son of Chairman Zhuge and the son of the Legendary Celestial Brilliance, my very teacher. I presume everyone should recognize them?”
Bai Qi chuckled, saying, “The technology of Leap Evolution is not very mature, so the basic duration of evolution is around two minutes.”
“Two minutes?”
The crowd below began to chatter. The fighting power that temporary evolution could cause was unclear, but this duration seemed a little too short.
However, some soon noticed something odd.
The evolution of the three pets each of Zhuge Chen and Bai Qiucha had long exceeded two minutes, but they were still jumping around, showing no signs of regressing.
It appeared, didn’t Bai Qi just mention that was the basic duration?
That implies that the duration can be extended beyond the basic time?
Indeed, after a brief pause, Bai Qi resumed his explanation.
“However, the duration of Leap Evolution can extend with other methods.”
Bai Qi asked Zhuge Chen to bring the Blood Moon Werewolf to his side, removed a metal box and inserted it into the mechanical armor, saying, “This portable Spirit Power Storage Device can’t replenish the spirit power of either Beast Masters or Spirit Controllers, but it can prolong the duration of Leap Evolution.”
“However, the key to Leap Evolution is still deepening the bond between humans and pets. The stronger the bond, the greater the strength after Leap Evolution and the longer the duration.”
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s exposition, the crowd understood and many even thought of trying out Leap Evolution.
Yet Bai Qi seemed to have no intention of giving them a break, he continued, “However, neither Beast Masters nor Spirit Controllers may have that much time to spend with their pets, so I recommend another result.”
As soon as his words fell, the platform in the center of the stage slowly rose. A technologically advanced chair and a metal helmet were brought up.
“The Super-God Research Institute dedicated itself to developing an immersive online game for relaxation and stress relief, the Jade Dream!”
“Jade Dream? Online game? Could this even be another core patent of Bai Qi?”
“A game can win a core patent? Has the requirements of the patent office dropped so low now?”
“Don’t hurry, if it’s worthy to be launched at the end, it must be more complicated than we thought.”
Looking at the chattering crowd, Bai Qi grinned. Dozens of drones promptly brought helmets to the guests below.
“To let all of you experience the Jade Dream more intuitively, I am providing a helmet for each of you. You just need to put the helmet on.”
“However, remember to adjust your sitting posture. It’s best to lie down or lie flat.”
Bai Qi sat in the chair, put on the helmet, and laughed at the crowd below, “So everyone, I’ll see you in another world.”
Having said that, Bai Qi leaned back and fell asleep as he was.
“Is the core patent just a helmet?”
The crowd was puzzled, they still struggled to connect this thing with the core patent. Seeing Bai Qi taking the lead, some began to put on the helmet.
“Old Wang? Wanna give it a try?”
Zhao Futu picked up the helmet beside him and waved it in front of Wang Jian.
“Sure, I have lived many years and I’ve not really tried these toys for young people. I’ll take this as an experience.”
Wang Jian smiled, put on the helmet, and then like those in the hall, fell into a deep sleep.
In an instant, the previously bustling hall filled with occasional snoring sounds.
“Heguang, aren’t you testing it?”
In a corner of the hall, the Legendary Tomb Guardian watched the eerie scene in front of him, and couldn’t help but say to Bai Heguang.
“No need, I have tried it.”
Bai Heguang shook his head and said, “However, it is indeed relaxing. If one day you feel tired, you can try it.”
“Oh? Heguang, after hearing what you said, I really want to try it.”
The Legendary Tomb Guardian raised his eyebrows, becoming increasingly curious about Jade Dream.
However, those who put on the helmets and entered the Jade Dream were even more surprised.
“Is this…really an online game? Are virtual games so real now?”
“Are you silly? With such a high degree of realism, it’s definitely a secret area.”
“Secret area? Have you seen any secret area that is transmitted this way?”
“Uh… I entered a bit late, it seems that everyone fell asleep after putting on this helmet.”
“So, are we dreaming?”
Hearing everyone’s doubts, Bai Qi, who was standing overhead of Nicholas, fell from the sky, saying, “Yes, we are indeed dreaming, it’s just that we all had the same dream.”
“A dreamland…a green dragon… Could this possibly be the legendary Jade Dream?!”
An expert, who had some study on the history of the Dragon Race, finally recognized the place, while others also recalled some related information, more or less.
“I’m sorry, we haven’t found the real Jade Dream either. This is just a special dreamland reconstructed from the secret realm left by a legendary spiritual species.”
“As for this green dragon, it is merely a GM modeled after the Green Dragon.”
Bai Qi waved his hand and said, “Of course, we will strive to make it as similar to the legendary Jade Dream, a place where our minds can rest. Therefore, I named this game Jade Dream.”
“Jade Dream, a dream to create a Jade Dream that belongs to humans. What a great name!”
“You wouldn’t believe it, but being here definitely uplifts my mood. I seem to have momentarily forgotten some of my troubles.”
“So this is the place that Bai Qi said would calm the mind.”
“I suddenly understand why the Patent Office agreed to rate Jade Dream as a core patent, I don’t want to leave.”
…
Listening to everyone’s discussion, Bai Qi was overwhelmingly satisfied while Nicholas quietly questioned him.
“Bai Qi, this is the Jade Dream. Why did you deceive them?”
“I know, but they don’t believe much anyway. They said so just for the sake of it.”
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, which further confused Nicholas.
“The Jade Dream is just legendary after all. There’s no need to reveal it in front of so many people. If they want to believe, that’s great, if they don’t, I’ll just pretend not to know.”
“You wouldn’t want to be targeted and turned into green dragon sashimi, would you?”
“Sashimi? This dragon doesn’t want it!”
Nicholas nodded repeatedly, seriously playing his role as a GM.
“This place really does lift the spirits.”
Wang Jian and Zhao Futu stood in a corner, looking at the dreamlike world in front of them. The helmsmen of the two largest Beast Master organizations in the Federation surprisingly let their guards down simultaneously.
However, this state of mind only lasted for a moment before they returned to their usual selves.
“Chairman Zhao, is this really a game?”
Wang Jian looked at Zhao Futu with deep meaning, while Zhao Futu shrugged his shoulders and said, “I don’t understand high-level things like this. If Bai Qi says it is, then it is.”
“Indeed, hahaha…”
The two shared a knowing smile, neither of them dwelling on it, while Bai Qi continued to introduce the functions of Jade Dream.
“The aim of Jade Dream is to give everyone thorough relaxation, so there won’t be any system for leveling up fighting monsters or releasing tasks in Jade Dream. What we can do is to explore this unknown world.”
“Of course, if you find exploring alone boring, you can also invite two companions to join your adventure.”
Bai Qi paused for a moment, jumped down from Nicholas’s head, walked to a nearby grove. He pointed to Garulu, the Dragon Cub Beast, and the Thunder Rat sleeping there and said, “Or you can bring your pet beast to explore together.”
“Bringing pet beasts?”
Everyone was taken aback by the appearance of the pet beasts. When they saw Bai Qiucha and Zhuge Chen awaken their pet beasts one after another, a commotion ensued.
“Can pet beasts also enter this dreamland?”
“Yes, but we haven’t released a gaming helmet for pet beasts yet. If you want your pet beast to enter Jade Dream with you, you need to purchase a Spirit-Control Orb-Green Leaf Edition.”
Bai Qi grinned. This discovery was actually an accident. When Zhuge Chen entered Jade Dream through the helmet and touched Garulu, he accidentally woke it up.
However, this discovery allowed Bai Qi to definitively connect Jade Dream with Leap Evolution.
Seeing the crowd surrounding him, Bai Qi snapped his fingers. Nicholas immediately released the Jade Power, driving everyone out of Jade Dream.
Although he wasn’t the master of Jade Dream, he could still drive out any creatures other than the Green Dragon.
Inside the hall, those wearing helmets woke up one after another. Looking at everything around them, they were momentarily unable to distinguish between reality and dream.
“Everyone, how did you feel about the dream journey you just experienced?”
Bai Qi looked at everyone with a smile, “As I said at the beginning, the purpose of Jade Dream is to give people a break and also to enhance the bond between humans and their pet beasts.”
“If you feel that you are not communicating enough with your pet beast, you can use Jade Dream to solve the problem.”
Bai Qi fell silent after that, and the audience started connecting the dots unconsciously.
Leap Evolution requires humans to enhance their bond with their pet beasts, and Jade Dream, in addition to recreation, also helps enhance this bond.
If they were to claim Bai Qi didn’t do this intentionally, these experts might as well resign.
Seeing that the crowd understood his ideas, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, and after a thought, he added another sentence.
“The Jade Helmet doesn’t need charging. It just needs to be placed in a lush green area under the sun. So, those who want to get their hands on Jade Dream, remember to plant more greenery when you go home.”
The crowd remained silent upon hearing this, wondering which environmental organization had sponsored the product placement, as the advertisement seemed rather too blunt…
