I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

"Okay, compared to a nuclear bomb, it doesn't seem all that remarkable."

But, the conceptualized "Spirit Destruction Rune" was quite powerful, having a reach of 50 kilometers, and all living beings within that range were paralyzed!

The "Soul Killing Rune" was even more terrifying.

With just a single burst, it created a whirlwind that extracted the souls from all the small animals around, echoing the legendary soul-chilling wind.

This power was something technology weapons struggled to achieve.

"The specific functionalities are more or less like this..."

"This is just a small suggestion from me, how to proceed is for you to consider carefully."

General Li nodded, "We will convene a meeting immediately to consider this aspect."

Lu Yuan thought of something else and added, "Oh, and from now on, let's not recklessly send out Parasol Leaves."

"Since I can attack dreams through the Parasol Leaf from this end, other powerful anomalies might be able to do the same."

"Sending them out on a large scale in this current environment becomes even more dangerous."

"This Parasol Leaf in my hand can still be used as a beacon one or two more times. If there's an issue, I'll reach out to you directly."

"Understood."

The time was almost up.

With their mental state starting to deteriorate, Lu Yuan promptly sent them back to the Parasol Tree Dream to avoid any aftereffects.

...

The Parasol Tree Dream, compared to "Meida Paradise," was several notches smaller and mistier, with a lower level of realism.

Miss Conch, controlling the Opium poppy, made some minor modifications to this place.

"Whirr!"

The Opium poppy, a veteran anomaly specializing in "Dream ability," began to emit little sparks of green light across the land and sky.

Like rendering an image, it made the entire dream more realistic.

The blue sky appeared!

Craggy bizarre rocks formed.

The variety of grass and shrubs increased.

Even a few insects were born, chirping "squeak squeak."@@novelbin@@

Because the distance between them was so vast, the energy transfer was quite difficult. Achieving the same effects naturally came at a higher cost.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, how much money are you planning to spend for your in-law's house?" Miss Conch looked both happy and beautiful.

Women indeed need compliments; since Lu Yuan's official announcement, her happiness skyrocketed to the fullest. His mood really couldn't be better.

If just a few sweet words could make her happy for a month, Lu Yuan was naturally generous with various grandiloquent phrases.

"Let's remodel within a suitable cost-effectiveness range, no need to create large life-forms or expand the territory too much."

"After all, we are also poor here, we can't sponsor too much..."

Dream worlds, the closer they are to reality, become more stable and increase the efficiency of collecting Dream Energy.

The Opium poppy almost reached a 100% Dream collection rate.

As for the Twin Ginkgo Tree, it initially had about a 10% collection rate, which after some modifications increased to 15%, marking a 50% improvement.

Eventually, Lu Yuan spent about 4 units of energy, which was roughly equivalent to a month's worth of "Magic Cube Energy," before he grudgingly called it quits.

"To further modify would lower the cost-effectiveness ratio."

This place, after all, was his in-law's home, and as a wealthy benefactor passing by, it was inevitable to be fleeced a little, a way of returning home with honor.

It's like how a village must groom the roads, and a billionaire can't escape the fate of donating money...

Having a stable means of contact was also pretty good.

"Just stay here and treat humans well, and we won't treat you poorly."

The Parasol Tree shuddered.

"If any anomalies attack, do your part and don't hide away," Lu Yuan saw that this fellow was a bully that feared the hard, "If humans are exterminated, you won't survive either. Think about it well."

The Parasol Tree shuddered again.

Because of the different rate of time flow, staying in the Safe Zone consumed a lot of energy.

After handling it simply, Lu Yuan exited the "Parasol Tree Dream Space," exhaling softly, "Humans, hurry up and grow!"

...

Over twenty people woke up from a drowsy state, and no one noticed anything unusual about them.

After all, this mysterious visit, set in the Safe Zone, only lasted a few minutes.

You looked at me, I looked at you, feeling somewhat unreal.

General Li suddenly rubbed his palms, then his eyes, "Wasn't it a dream?"

A middle-aged researcher shook his head, "It must have been a dream!"

Li Ran patted the docile Parasol Tree, "It was a dream, yet it wasn't..."

Only those who had truly experienced it could understand what they were talking about.

Everyone burst into laughter, then they took out their phones and started making calls!

"... The Parasol Tree was conquered? Good...good!"

"What... was it Lu Yuan who conquered it?"

"You also went there for a visit?"

After hanging up the phone, everyone started discussing again, imagining how astonished the leaders on the other end of the phone must have been!

...

A few hours after Lu Yuan and Miss Conch left, many more people re-entered the Parasol Tree Dream.

High-ranking military officers, researchers from Yunhai City, and government officials, almost a hundred people in total.

They saw blue skies, white clouds, sweet grass, and insects, each revealing expressions of surprise or excitement.

Zhang Hui mumbled something to himself, touching the weeds on the ground, seemingly in disbelief.

"I told you, reaching out to Mr. Lu for the price of two Parasol Leaves wouldn't be a loss," the Pathfinding project leader, Li Ran, said with a smirk, "Luckily, we made contact."

"Ah, we owe him a big favor now," Zhang Hui waved his hand, "Comrades, check the changes in the Parasol Tree Dream!"

Many Divine Skill users got busy.

Firstly, the Parasol Tree became very docile, allowing people to climb it freely and share the Life Energy it had gathered.

Secondly, with the increased realism of the dream, the energy collection efficiency improved significantly.

That meant, even after gifting some energy to humans, the growth rate of the Parasol Tree was still faster than before!

"Ah, rather than bustling around ourselves, it's more practical to ride on someone's coattails..."

"We from Yunhai City have support," the top official Li Chunhong's complaint amused everyone.

A general whispered, "But no matter what, we must fight the future wars ourselves."

"Indeed," they agreed.

"Only by winning the war, do we have a future."

"Professor Zhang, Mr. Lu needs some high-end equipment design blueprints," Li Ran added, "Shall we prepare them on our side?"

Zhang Hui stroked his chin, "Blueprints... we have plenty here, but how can we bring them into the dream?"

Li Ran smiled, "It's simple, let a few Divine Skill users with strong memory forcefully memorize the blueprints, and then let the Dream Ability Users help retrieve them in the dream."

"Just like that, moving them bit by bit, eventually we will get the blueprints in."

This involved the cooperation of Divine Skills.

Although the method was primitive, a high-end machine's blueprints could weigh several tons!

But this plan was indeed feasible, only requiring slightly more manpower.

"There's another method... Divination Masters from abroad could directly copy the design blueprints into the dream world."

"Not good!" Zhang Hui shook his head, "This tree is our trump card. It can produce resources, fight, and even make contact with Lu Yuan. It has too many functions, let's not let other cities know about it."

"List it as top-secret, and ensure that those who know keep it confidential."

"We need to catch up now."

"Everyone, first organize the information Mr. Lu wants..."

Then...

Yunhai City also strived accordingly, for a better tomorrow.
