Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill-Chapter 95: Wandering God Association

"The Wandering God Association?" Li Wei asked, puzzled.

Tanya explained, "The Wandering God Association is a faction made up of Sleepwalkers. I’ve heard their leader is a Dream Weaver, but I don’t know much else."

"If you want to go to the Wandering God Association, I can take you," Tanya said.

Li Wei asked, "Where is the Wandering God Association?"

Tanya replied, "Inside a fixed Dream Bubble."

"The leader of the Wandering God Association wove a stable dream, and their headquarters is located inside that Dream Bubble."

"Without a member of the Wandering God Association to guide the way, a newcomer would have to be incredibly lucky to stumble upon that Dream Bubble."

What Tanya didn’t say was that she herself was one of those incredibly lucky newcomers.

When she first arrived in the River of Dreams, the very first Dream Bubble she entered was the headquarters of the Wandering God Association.

Li Wei wasn’t in a hurry to head to the Wandering God Association. He asked, "So what exactly does the Wandering God Association do?"

Tanya said, "The Wandering God Association is a very loosely-knit organization. Its main purpose is for exchanging information and trading items."

"Those who can reach the River of Dreams are anything but ordinary. Everyone has some good stuff, more or less, and the Wandering God Association provides a way to trade it."

"You can also post bounties there. Even for items that are incredibly rare in the real world, you’ll have a decent chance of finding them."

Li Wei was a little surprised. "The Wandering God Association can bring items into the Dream World?"

Tanya shook her head. "Of course not. The Wandering God Association only provides a platform for making deals. The actual exchange still has to be done offline, in person."

"But at least you’re guaranteed security when you’re looking for buyers and sellers within the Wandering God Association."

"An ordinary Sleepwalker can’t trace you through the dream to find your real body."

Li Wei just smiled at her, saying nothing.

Tanya had been wearing a disguise as well, but it was destroyed during her fight with the Lost Soul.

Otherwise, Li Wei might not have recognized her.

Tanya picked up the few blue and white fragments the Lost Soul had dropped upon its death.

She handed them to Li Wei, saying, "This is the currency of the Dream World: Soul Crystals."

"As the name suggests, they’re crystallized soul."

Li Wei summoned his Shadow Attendant and had it bring the Soul Crystals over.

Tanya wasn’t surprised to see the Shadow Attendant.

Nightmare Spirit is a very common tactic for Sleepwalkers.

The Shadow Attendant brought all the Soul Crystals to Li Wei. There were three in total. He picked one up to take a closer look.

A Soul Crystal was an irregular, fragmented, blue-white crystal.

He could sense the Soul Power within it.

Tanya said, "Absorbing Soul Crystals can strengthen your soul and enhance your Spiritual Power."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei immediately understood the importance of Soul Crystals.

Both Soul Power and Spiritual Power were crucial for a Sleepwalker.

They were, one could say, the very foundation of a Sleepwalker’s strength.

Fighting Spirit was the fundamental power of Warriors and Knights.

Mana was the fundamental power of Mages.

And Spiritual Power was the fundamental power of Sleepwalkers.

With such an astonishing effect, it was no wonder Soul Crystals had become the universal currency of the Dream World.

And you could only get three Soul Crystals for killing a Tier Two High Level Lost.

This just went to show how precious Soul Crystals were.

Tanya didn’t hide her wariness, stating frankly, "In the Dream World, there are people who don’t hunt dangerous Lost Souls. Instead, they choose to trick and ambush other Sleepwalkers to get their Soul Crystals. These people are extremely dangerous."

"Sometimes, even powerful Sleepwalkers and Dream Stealers will hunt weaker Sleepwalkers for their Soul Crystals."

"So, you must be extremely cautious in the Dream World."

At this point, Tanya felt she had said enough.

It was enough to repay Li Wei for saving her life.

Saying any more would start to compromise her own interests.

After all, knowledge was a valuable resource.

Tanya said, "If you want to go to the Wandering God Association, I can take you."

"If not, we can part ways here."

Li Wei thought for a moment, then said, "Take me to the Wandering God Association."

"Alright. Follow me."

Tanya turned and started walking in a certain direction.

Li Wei fell in step behind her.

After a little while, Tanya stopped. Pointing to the river’s surface not far from their feet, she said, "That stationary Dream Bubble over there is where the Wandering God Association is."

Li Wei focused his gaze and saw a large bubble suspended in the river, completely motionless.

Countless other bubbles flickered in and out of existence around it, but this one alone remained perfectly still.

It was certainly unique.

Without wasting words, Tanya opened the way into the Dream Bubble and vanished before his eyes.

Li Wei walked up to the Wandering God Association’s bubble. ’Could this be a trap?’ he wondered.

He cast the Invisibility Armor Spell, stacking all nine layers.

Then, he used the Great Dream Traveling Skill to enter the Dream Bubble.

The moment he locked onto the Dream Bubble, he felt the surface of the water beneath his feet give way, collapsing downward.

The surface became a deep pit, and he plummeted down.

In the blink of an eye, he had left the River of Dreams.

He found himself outside a massive, white Dream Bubble.

This Dream Bubble was completely different from the others.

From the outside, he couldn’t see the dream within it clearly.

When Li Wei tried to enter, he felt a repulsive force.

A moment later, the repulsive feeling vanished, and he successfully entered the Dream Bubble.

"Welcome to the Wandering God Association."

A voice rang in Li Wei’s ears the moment he entered the dream.

He turned his head, but couldn’t find the source of the voice.

Looking around, he saw that he was on a platform atop a mountain peak.

The platform was paved entirely with white marble, giving it a luxurious and magnificent air.

’But this is a dream. The materials used are just a matter of imagination,’ he thought. ’The creator’s understanding of the material affects how detailed it appears in the dream.’

’Some people can create dreams that are indistinguishable from reality, while others create dreams that are obviously fake.’

’At least, the white marble beneath my feet feels completely real.’

A moment later, he discovered he was unable to call upon his Dream Power in this place.

He had lost the ability to do whatever he wished within the dream.

’A dream woven by a Dream Weaver? It certainly is special,’ Li Wei mused.

After that internal sigh of admiration, Li Wei walked toward the far end of the plaza.

Several Floating Islands were situated in the sky up ahead, with dozens of grand halls built upon them.

In terms of sheer impressiveness, the Wandering God Association had really nailed it.

A white marble plaza on a mountain peak, Floating Islands in the sky, magnificent, resplendent halls...

It was all incredibly impressive.

When Li Wei reached the end of the plaza, Tanya was already there waiting for him.

Tanya was wearing a green cloak that hid her entire body, concealing her face.

Seeing Li Wei approach, Tanya said, "There are three Floating Islands. The one in the middle is the Wandering God Association’s headquarters; only official members are allowed inside."

"The one on the left is Intelligence Island, where you can trade information."

"The one on the right is Trade Island, where you can trade items."

"Some of the halls are public, while others are private. Once you find someone to trade with, you can choose one of the private halls to conduct your business one-on-one."

"Within the Wandering God Association’s dream, everyone is forbidden from using force, so you don’t need to worry about any danger."

Li Wei posed a tricky question.

"Not even the leader of the Wandering God Association?"
