144: Being plotted and betrayed!

Actually, the Dream Pillow's own ability is still extremely heaven-defying!

It can let people have immersive dreams—

Dream of the past, dream of the future!

Dreaming of the past allows people to clearly see what happened in the past;

Dreaming of the future allows them to simulate what will happen in the future!

Both of these abilities, no matter which one, are heaven-defying.

Especially dreaming of the future, it's simply a heaven-defying precognitive ability!

But fate really seems to enjoy playing tricks on people.

Logically, with the ability to foresee the future, the Dream Pillow's owner should be able to more vigilantly avoid danger!

But the reality was that in his previous life, almost all those who obtained the Dream Pillow didn't live very long!

Lin Chuan felt there were two reasons for this—

Firstly, the Dream Pillow requires its owner to sleep immersively!

This is quite dangerous in the apocalypse!

If an effective method to solve this problem isn't found, the use of the Dream Pillow will be constrained everywhere!

Secondly, perhaps it's precisely the 'premonition' of the future that causes the Dream Pillow's owner to relax their vigilance.

Because the Dream Pillow's owner will feel that since he has already foreseen all dangers, he is safe.

Little do they know that due to the butterfly effect, new dangers are constantly approaching!

These two problems, in the end, are actually problems with the Dream Pillow's owner.

But in his previous life, many people blamed the Dream Pillow, labeling it with terms like 'cursed' and 'jinxes its owner'.

Lin Chuan thought about it and ultimately bound this divine artifact to himself.

After all, who wouldn't want the ability to foresee the future?

After binding and putting away the Dream Pillow, Lin Chuan temporarily didn't open the other golden treasure chest.

He still decided to trust the wishing card one more time.

Once he gets Yin Xi's 10 wishing cards, he'll synthesize another batch! And try again!

The remaining single wishing card can be perfectly matched with the purple treasure chest dropped by Song Sandong.

However, Lin Chuan didn't open it for now, planning to keep it aside for a rainy day.

Next, he organized Song Sandong's dimensional ring.

Various supplies and crystal nuclei were directly skipped.

As for items, a few trap cards, area transfer cards, and several finding paper cranes were added.

Besides these, there was also a recording orb, whose main function was similar to a miniature camera in his previous life, used for secretly filming and recording.

There was also a sealed boundary stone.

A boundary stone is a tier below a forbidden stone, but it's still a very valuable item.

Its main function is to seal off the space in a certain area, forming a boundless realm that blocks all spatial teleportation.

Within a boundless realm, one cannot use teleportation, cannot enter secret realms, and even spatial Talents or skills like Instant Flash cannot be used.

This item is generally used by large factions to besiege powerful individuals, preventing them from escaping using spatial items.

What Lin Chuan was interested in was that this item could also block the effect of a substitute doll!

The substitute doll's ability is very complex, but without a doubt, it also possesses spatial teleportation capabilities.

When the owner dies, the substitute doll and the owner perform a spatial swap.

And a boundary stone can block this spatial swap!

Besides that, Song Sandong's ring also contained two nest-type secret realm entry tickets, one game-type secret realm entry ticket, and a guild upgrade scroll!

Lin Chuan quickly organized these, glanced at the time, and then walked out of the reading room.

The reading room was dimly lit, with only faint moonlight.

Outside the reading room, near the vending machine, Zhou Yi had set up various lighting devices.

As soon as Lin Chuan came out, the guild members all saw him.

Each of them instantly became like chicks seeing a dean of students—quiet, well-behaved, and their sitting postures became much more upright!

Even 'class monitor' Zhou Yi's voice trembled slightly as he spoke: "B-b-boss… Do you, do you have any instructions…"

When Jiao Zhengqing went to fight the World Boss, he didn't deliberately say it was to save Lin Chuan.

Although Zhou Yi vaguely guessed something, as a subordinate, he naturally wouldn't impolitely ask his superior private questions.

He was very sensible, not daring to ask too much, only seeking to do more.

Lin Chuan was quite satisfied with this second-in-command of the guild, so he said in a faint voice: "It's almost midnight, I'm here to teach you how to use crystal nuclei."

As he spoke, he walked towards the vending machine.

After a customer's level is raised to Level 2, they can enter the vending machine's Level 2 mall.

There are many very commonly used items inside.

For example, the basic auxiliary potion needed to absorb crystal nuclei above 5 levels.

This potion actually isn't expensive.

10 Level 10 crystal nuclei per bottle.

This is truly not expensive after players change professions.

But before players reach Level 10, it's truly ridiculously expensive, so expensive it makes one question life!

However, Lin Chuan knew—

Basic auxiliary potions are actually mainly for players to use after changing professions.

Players at this stage, whose levels are not even Level 10, don't need a whole bottle of auxiliary potion at once.

If they dilute it dozens of times, they generally won't explode.

At most, their bodies will feel a bit uncomfortable.

But that discomfort is much easier to bear than Lin Chuan's dragon blood medicinal bath.

They are all grown men, and most can endure it.

Lin Chuan thought about it and only spent 50 Level 10 crystal nuclei to buy 5 bottles of auxiliary potions.

Then he handed these 5 bottles of auxiliary potions to Zhou Yi and specifically explained some precautions and details for using auxiliary potions.

After that, he was ready to leave.

But at this moment, Zhou Yi was embarrassed!

It wasn't that he didn't believe Lin Chuan.

It was—

Before, they had crystal nuclei but no potions.

But now, they had auxiliary potions, where were the crystal nuclei?!

He had given the crystal nuclei to Boss Jiao Zhengqing!

Zhou Yi didn't realize the severity of the problem yet.

He only thought that Lin Chuan and Jiao Zhengqing hadn't communicated well.

So, he cautiously called out to Lin Chuan: "Um, Boss…"

Lin Chuan paused, turning his head to look: "What, something else?"

Zhou Yi swallowed: "Well, um, Boss Jiao took the crystal nuclei back, didn't he tell you?"

Jiao Zhengqing took them back?

But the message Lin Chuan had just received from chatting with Jiao Zhengqing was that he had given the crystal nuclei for guild upgrades to Zhou Yi.

Logically, Lin Chuan should have suspected Zhou Yi first.

But he didn't.

His gaze darkened, and he suddenly asked: "That Jiao Zhengqing who asked you for crystal nuclei, what was the level ranking text above his head?"

"Uh, he didn't have any text above his head, he said he used an item to hide it…"

Lin Chuan's gaze swept over everyone present, then he asked: "Was that Su Yinlan taken away by him?"

Zhou Yi suddenly felt a little scared and nodded very cautiously: "Y-yes…"

"Heh, very good." Lin Chuan suddenly chuckled.

He really hadn't expected that someone would dare to scheme for his things!

Even the Su Family was involved!

He had specifically asked Jiao Zhengqing before, and Jiao Zhengqing had answered very confidently that he had signed a contract with Su Yinlan.

If Su Yinlan had signed a normal contract, then from the moment she betrayed, her actions would be a breach of contract, and she would die.

But she clearly committed an act of betrayal and did not die due to the contract rules.

Clearly, there was a problem with the contract!

In his previous life, such a thing had never happened, so Lin Chuan never knew that Su Hai's Talent could not only generate contracts but also tamper with them!

The reason for this is not hard to imagine—

In his previous life, Su Hai was always restrained by Su Ling, so he naturally wouldn't do such an outrageous thing.

But in this life, it must have been when Jiao Zhengqing asked Su Hai to tamper with the contract, Su Ling was still in the process of changing professions.

Otherwise, with that woman's foresight, she would surely know how serious the consequences would be for someone who sells contracts but then tampers with them!

The losses caused to customers by such an act are immeasurable!

This time, Lin Chuan only lost crystal nuclei; he was still alive and still had the ability to reclaim the lost crystal nuclei with interest.

But what if Lin Chuan's losses were irreversible?

Then, even destroying the entire Su Family would not be enough to vent his anger!
