Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 87 The Use of Merit Points
Xing Tianyu wondered how this Nightmare World looks like an online game, but since everyone uses a pseudonym, he should follow suit, "Then you guys can call me Jim Reynolds." Xing Tianyu casually added one.

Deathwing said, "Uh, I suggest you change your name. Someone has reserved this name, and it's still a high-ranking lord."

When Xing Tianyu heard this, his head turned black, (Damn, it’s really like playing a game, uh, I made a name myself, and then the computer responded that the name has already been taken.

But the name is just a code name, and he didn't bother, "Then call me Lost Viking, no one has ever used this name."

"No, then Brother Viking, are you planning to return to the Kingdom of Nightmare?"

Xing Tianyu nodded, "Yes."

"It just so happens that we plan to go back, shall we go together?"

Xing Tianyu thought it was fine.

A group of four flew towards the nightmare kingdom.

While flying, Xing Tianyu was chatting with Deathwing next to him. This boy gave him the feeling of a sophomore in middle school, and his attitude was quite easy-going.

"By the way, what kind of monster is that thing called Dream Devouring Squid?"

"How do I know, it's not a good thing anyway."

"You don't know, then why are you hitting it?"

"Of course I accepted the mission." Deathwing said as a matter of course.

Xing Tianyu thought he was a fool, and even came out with the task.

"Is there a reward for that mission?"

"Nonsense, who would do it without rewards? Hunting the dream-eating squid and killing one will give you 300 merit points. We originally planned to form a team of three and kill one with exactly 100 merit points. Unfortunately, we have never fought."

Xing Tianyu wondered, "Then why don't you form a few more people?"

Deathwing had a speechless expression, "What do you think the Nightmare Lords are doing? Do gamers download dungeons? Just shout and someone will come. You know, there are probably hundreds of Nightmare Lords in the entire Nightmare Universe, and Most of them are junior lords, rookies who have never even been to the Nightmare Kingdom. Generally, it takes an intermediate-level lord or above to have the courage to go to the Nightmare Kingdom to do tasks, and there are only a few dozen intermediate-level lords in the entire Nightmare universe. That’s all, there are four other high-ranking lords, Jim Reynolds is one of the four high-ranking lords, but those high-ranking lords generally don’t mix with us.”

Xing Tianyu thought that was the case. He didn't expect that there were only so few nightmare lords in the whole world, but since he was able to come to the nightmare kingdom independently, does it mean that he has also reached the level of a middle-level lord?

"Then what is the use of this meritorious value?"

"It's very useful. It can be exchanged for all kinds of knowledge. You have to know that the Nightmare King controls everyone's dreams, and the human subconscious is completely open to the Nightmare King. Think about it, the Nightmare King has to have knowledge. How much knowledge. The Nightmare King will transform this knowledge into a dream book. Each dream book contains a piece of information and knowledge. As long as you take the dream book back to your own nightmare space and open it, you can learn Up to the above knowledge."

Xing Tianyu thought that this is fine!
At this moment, Master Taiyi suddenly said: "Have you heard the story about meeting a fairy in Cheng Yaojin's dream and learning the three-axe?"

Xing Tianyu nodded, "Wait a minute, won't you say that Cheng Yaojin is also the Nightmare Lord?"

"Even if Cheng Yaojin is not the Nightmare Lord, the so-called fairy he met probably is."

Gabriel also said, "Although this sounds a bit weird, it is still possible."

"Not only do you have all kinds of knowledge, but you can also exchange them for nightmare weapons. Nightmare weapons are different from what we have transformed. They exist in the nightmare universe, and each one is very powerful."

Chatting and chatting, the four of them approached the edge of the nightmare kingdom.

Getting closer, Xing Tianyu can finally see the scenery in the nightmare kingdom clearly. The nightmare kingdom is extremely huge, almost bigger than the entire earth in reality, but according to what Deathwing said, most of the nightmare kingdom is not No development for Nightmare Lords, the only place where Nightmare Lords can go is Hero Island, where Nightmare Lords gather.

Despite this, Xing Tianyu can still see the scenery in the nightmare kingdom from a distance. As expected, as the nightmare goblin described at the beginning, looking down from the air, you can see countless majestic buildings, majestic mountains and rivers, vast plains, and the sea. .

The magnificence of its scene is far beyond what can be seen in reality.

However, the palaces and buildings mixed in those scenes made Xing Tianyu feel an inexplicable fear. This kind of fear was not caused by seeing some kind of horrible pictures, such as blood, bones and other very impactful pictures. , but only because of the style of those buildings.

This style is something he has never seen before, and even in his wildest dreams, he can't imagine it. It is not only strange, it can even be called weird. This kind of weirdness comes from those buildings. The grotesque shapes definitely do not seem to be for human habitation. Its strange shape and deformed structure will make people involuntarily imagine that the people living in those buildings must be some kind of ugly and evil strange creatures.

However, this feeling just passed by in a flash. After blinking a little, the haze in my mind disappeared, as if it was just my own accidental illusion. Although the shapes of those buildings are weird, but at this moment, they look like A little more exotic style, surprisingly chic.

However, the only thing missing in this kind of scenery is popularity. Indeed, in the mountains, rivers and oceans, you can see some fantastic and beautiful creatures wandering in it, you can see majestic giant beasts, and you can see residential towns , but I don’t know why, those creatures always make Xing Tianyu think that they are just like CG animations, lifelike but not living creatures, and between those buildings and palaces, there is lifelessness, as if there are no residents.

When the four of them were flying in the air, Xing Tianyu noticed that there were many huge crows in the air. The smallest ones had a wingspan of more than ten meters, and the largest ones were hundreds of meters long. In the sky.

"Those are Nightmare Birds, the guardians of the Nightmare Kingdom. They fight fiercely. It's best not to provoke them. Look, there is Hero Island over there. Our goal is the Hall of Heroes above."

The hero island is extremely conspicuous, because it is located in a blue ocean, it is tens of thousands of meters high, like a super giant pyramid, with tens of thousands of steps extending from the foot of the mountain to the top.

A huge temple that seems to be used by the Titans is located on the top of this mountain.

Until here, Xing Tianyu felt a trace of popularity.He saw some strangely dressed people flying among them.

Probably because of the need to travel long distances, almost everyone rode a mount or drove an aircraft. Xing Tianyu saw the X-wing fighter in Star Wars, an old-fashioned biplane from World War I. I saw a Star Destroyer, hundreds of meters in length, quietly floating above the Hall of Heroes, some riding a giant dragon, or directly turning into a shooting star.

In contrast, he and the few people around him seemed relatively normal.

The four of them flew into the hall together. This huge palace with a height of one meter is probably hundreds of square kilometers in size, and each pillar towers into the sky like an Optimus Prime. With modern technology, I am afraid that such a building will never be built.

Xing Tianyu couldn't help being amazed for a while. This palace is obviously the masterpiece of the Nightmare King. The four of them came under one of the pillars and wrote some words on the huge stone slab, which seemed to be a display board.A Nightmare Goblin sits just under the slab.

Although the Nightmare Fairy looked almost the same, but for some reason, Xing Tianyu recognized at a glance that this was definitely not the Nightmare Fairy he knew back then.

"Hello, we want to cancel the mission." Gabriel said to the nightmare elf.

"Hunting dream-eating squids? Hmph, I knew you nightmare lords were unreliable." The nightmare goblin muttered, holding a mirror and taking a look at several people, "According to your situation, each of you can I really don’t know why His Majesty is so magnanimous for the hard work of 5 meritorious service points, if I say it, I should give you a few whips.”

Xing Tianyu was also photographed, and the nightmare fairy picked up the mirror and looked at him, and suddenly gave him a vigilant look, "You didn't accept the mission? Why, do you want to fish in troubled waters?"

"No, no, I'm here to find someone." Xing Tianyu hurriedly explained: "Uh, I want to find a nightmare fairy." Xing Tianyu said that he suddenly felt a little bad, because he didn't know what the nightmare fairy was called .

"Are you looking for the nightmare fairy you gave you the title?"

"Yes, it's him."

"Give me your hand."

Xing Tianyu hurriedly climbed out of the Viking fighter and handed his hand to the Nightmare Fairy.

The nightmare goblin shook Xing Tianyu's hand with sharp nails, then picked up the mirror and shouted twice, "Wait, he'll be here in a while." After speaking, it communicated with the three of Deathwing stand up.

After a short time, the three of them canceled the mission, and then the three of them each received a reconnaissance mission to investigate the movement of the dream-eating squid near their respective residences, but it seems that the reward for this mission is only a pitiful 10 basic merit points , if you find the dream-eating squid, there will be extra rewards, but it doesn't look like much.

"Okay everyone, I have to leave first, I still have class tomorrow." Deathwing said.

"Are you a student?"

"Students, I'm a university professor, and I want to teach others." Deathwing said obviously annoyed, and then glanced at Gabriel, "Why do people ask me every time I'm a student? "

Xing Tianyu was surprised when he heard this, "University professor? How old are you this year?"

"I just look young, I'm actually 23."

(A 23-year-old university professor? This is too exaggerated.) Xing Tianyu naturally didn't believe it, thinking that this guy must be bragging, but he didn't point it out, "Then good night."

Seeing the figures of the three leaving, Xing Tianyu saw that the Nightmare Fairy hadn't come yet, so he simply studied the task on the slate.
