That morning, the sky was just getting light and the cool morning light and a slight chilly breeze penetrated through the window without glass.
Li Tianrui, wrapped in thick pajamas, staggered towards the toilet at the end of the corridor, but he met Tang Feng who was also going to wash up at the corner of the corridor.
"Hey, Old Tang, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" Li Tianrui muttered.
"I was busy dreaming. I didn't sleep well last night." Tang Feng glanced at Li Tianrui and couldn't help laughing, "Old Li, do you know what you look like? You are not much better than a panda."
"Ha, I'm not bothered by the dream recall method! I spent the whole night thinking about how to remember my dream, but ended up not being able to fall asleep until two in the morning." Li Tianrui complained as he tightened his clothes.
"Then do you remember the dream?" Tang Feng asked again.
"When I woke up, I felt like I remembered it very clearly, as if I was on the battlefield. But now that I'm out and you've interrupted me, I seem to have forgotten most of it. Anyway, I only remember that I fired a gun in my dream." Li Tianrui patted his head, "Hey, what did I dream about? Look at my brain."
"Now that you mention it, I only remember that I seemed to be chopping zombies in the underground palace. Anyway, it was not a good dream. It seemed that I was bitten to death by a zombie in the end." Tang Feng said.
"Alas, this magician looks cool, but practicing is really not a job suitable for ordinary people."
—————————
At breakfast time, everyone gathered in the restaurant again. Xiao Chen ate his steamed bread and glanced at his companions. Most of them were in poor spirits and looked tired, just like Li Tianrui and Tang Feng.
This was something he had expected, because the stone tablet said that people who were new to the Dream Recall Method would easily become too excited to sleep. Only by slowly adapting could they gradually turn dream recalling into a natural habit, and from then on, they could cultivate their mental strength through sleep every day. Compared with many other secret cultivation methods, the Dream Recall Method was really a very efficient way of cultivation.
After looking around, he found that only Xi Luo, Roger and Ye Zi were in good spirits.
Xi Luo had long said that he was too old to pursue power, and Roger said that when he was a child he was tested and found to have no talent for magic, so he planned to devote all his energy to martial arts and military strategy in this life.
As for Ye Zi… Xiao Chen asked curiously: "Ye Zi, didn't you try the dream recall method last night?"
"Yes." Ye Zi drank milk, "I think it's very interesting. In my dream, I went to Dali to play, took the cable car on Cangshan Mountain, rowed a boat in Erhai Lake, and ate and drank a lot. It felt great. Even if I can't learn magic, I think it's good to be able to write down these interesting things."
Li Tianrui couldn't help asking, "Don't you feel particularly excited and can't fall asleep?"
"No, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down yesterday. I thought this secret method had a hypnotic effect, don't you guys have it?"
Li Tianrui glanced at Tang Feng, shook his head painfully and said, "Alas, everyone is learning this stuff, why is there such a big difference?"
"This is why people have different fates. You see, other people's dreams are of scenic films, but mine are horror films, and they're in 3D." Tang Feng said, "And didn't you notice? Ye Zi also remembers it very clearly. Not like us."
At this point, other people started to discuss, and after comparing, they found that Li Tianrui and Tang Feng were both good. Many people couldn't remember any dreams at all, and some even suffered from insomnia all night.
"Xiao Chen, tell me, what's going on? Is there something wrong with our method of cultivation?" Li Tianrui asked.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "The secret method I got didn't have much explanation, nor did it say what the reaction would be after practicing. It just said that as you become more proficient in practicing, it will become easier to remember dreams, and your mental strength will become stronger. When you reach a certain level, you can release the simple magic that apprentices can master."
"Sir, as you know, my family has a magical heritage, and I know a little about this." Seeing Xiao Chen's nod, Roger continued to explain, "Magic is something that varies from person to person. Different qualifications often adapt to different ways of practice, and everyone will be good at different magic after becoming a magician. Of course, some people may not be suitable for practicing magic at all. Just like it must be very easy for you to use these secret methods to enter the dream, the same is true for Miss Ye Zi, this is because you have very suitable qualifications for practicing the Dream Tower secrets. I think it must be easier for Lord Li Jia to use the dream awakening method, right?"
Li Jia was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, the awakening dream method is very useful. I dreamed of a volcanic eruption yesterday. Later, I tried to modify the dream and diverted the lava to save a village. I just consumed a lot of mental energy in the dream and I am a little tired."
"Sir, that's it. But now is the first night, and it can't completely prove that others are not suitable. But if it doesn't work after a longer period of time, then we should consider changing to other methods. Back then, I tried four different methods of concentration and failed, so I changed to martial arts."
After Roger finished speaking, various discussions were heard in the room again, but most of them were unwilling voices. They were all prepared to try again tonight.
However, Xiao Chen didn't care to what extent these people could learn magic.
The magic towers in this world are all based on the model of a craftsman master taking an apprentice. The teacher has limited energy, and the students he chooses must be elites who have the hope of becoming formal magicians. He will never waste time and gold coins on people with insufficient qualifications. But Xiao Chen is different. He uses the school model of the industrial age. In his opinion, if people with insufficient qualifications can become magic apprentices, it is better than just being an ordinary person.
But he was more concerned about another question: "When you dream, do any of you feel like you have returned to the real world? Ye Zi, for example, when you went to Dali, do you think it was the real world?"
Ye Zi thought about it and shook his head, "No, although that was Dali I had been to before, I am sure it was a dream. Because neither the introduction to the scenic spot nor the menu of the restaurant could be seen clearly. What I experienced were all the things I experienced when I traveled to Dali with my parents. Both the cable car and the boat were exactly the same as before."
"It must have been a dream. Although I don't remember it clearly, it seemed to be a war during World War II. I seemed to be holding an MP40. I guess it was because I played too much Call of Duty in the past." Li Tianrui said.
It seems that no one has experienced dreams of parallel worlds like him. Even Xiao Chen himself, the few dreams he experienced last night were just ordinary dreams. No matter how he recalled the book "Partial Differential Equations" that wrote the Dream Tower, he could not enter the world that Luo Ling did not travel through. What is going on
