Chapter 5: Success belongs to those who are prepared
Zhang Fuyang and the other three were astonished to see Lei Tian actually engrossed in devouring a book, seemingly more enthusiastic than when he had to retake exams due to failing them.
Unable to bear it any longer, oh heaven, I have a special edition of Sherlock Holmes here, I will lend it to you as a friend. Illiteracy is not frightening; what is truly alarming is the intellectual who pretends to understand but is merely testing the waters. Wang Bin emerged from the room carrying a pile of books
Zhang Fuyang and the others confirmed once again that what this kid said is true
"That's not right. If this dream-woven thread absorbs that guy's mental energy, then a person's mental energy is limited. We shouldn't end up turning him into an idiot. " Lei Tian was enjoying that intoxicating sensation when he suddenly realized something, and was instantly startled.
Lei Tian truly had no feeling for hypnosis, even though he had memorized the book "Introduction to Hypnosis - Mastery in 24 Hours" thoroughly. Li Hangong, on the other hand, was left dizzy and disoriented by him, but that was not hypnosis; it was torment.
Serious matters are of utmost importance. Lei Tian began to attempt to manipulate the Dream Weaving Silk, which is essentially a form of mental power. It can stretch and bend. If one can weave a flower from this Dream Weaving Silk, it would signify mastery in its manipulation. If it is always approached in a straightforward manner, it lacks artistry.
On a cold and gloomy day, Lei Tian glared at the four individuals, feeling that they truly regarded themselves as private property. They even called themselves security guards; they might as well go find 360.
After watching for a moment, Lei Tian found it uninteresting, vastly different from the specialty products of the island nation, presenting a complete visual contrast, lacking any technical substance
Li Hangong's remark about invading privacy reminded Lei Tian that the methods of nightmare dreams are indeed excellent means of invasion of privacy. However, invading privacy is not without legitimate professions, such as private detectives at https://www.hetushu.com
It is indeed strange, but if it does not affect a person's normal state, then I must have been overly concerned. Lei Tian felt considerably relieved and contemplated when to attempt pushing his limits.
The power of dreams, which is absorbed from dreams to strengthen oneself, is referred to by Thunder as the power of dreams. Thunder speculates that this may be a form of human mental strength
"Get lost!" the four of them shouted in unison. This kid deserves a beating
When the Dream Silk absorbs the power of dreams, there is an indescribable sense of pleasure. Could it be that the absorption of dream power is akin to the feeding of this nightmare? Or perhaps it is a means of replenishing energy? According to the principle of energy conservation, it seems to follow this reasoning
Joking aside, Lei Tian knows that these four fellows are indirectly helping him, as he is the only one among the five who is unemployed
Hehe, Lei Tian, we are cultivating internal talent here. Don't you think so? With your intellect, when the time comes for you to take action, we will definitely not hold you back.
That night, as the hour grew late and the world fell silent, the dream-woven threads began to stir, reaching out towards the window. Since one intended to make use of this convenience, it was essential to understand the extent of the dream-woven threads' reach
As a seasoned individual emerging from Nanjing University, I have certainly encountered numerous specialties from the island nation. However, this is the first time I have seen a real-life version of Lei Tian. This fellow is not afraid of developing pinholes. I must say, Mengrao Silk is indeed an exquisite item for peeping.
Now he understands how the nightmare that entered his body was exhausted to death by him; it was his emotions that prevented this dreamless being from dreaming, leading to an inability to absorb the power of dreams, ultimately resulting in a slow death from starvation.
The perspective brought by the Dreamweaver Silk is like a thunderstorm. The day has become familiar; wherever the Dreamweaver Silk passes, a panoramic view appears in the nightmare space in the form of bubbles, much like a fleeting glance. The rental apartment where Lei Tian resides is on the third floor, which is considered the middle level. Outside the window is the road, and the Dreamweaver Silk extends outward, stopping after about one hundred meters.
"On a rainy day, let's make it clear first, we should discuss this together; you must not act recklessly without consideration, as this profession tends to offend many people," Yang Wuliang said, seemingly aware of some details.
One hundred meters is quite sufficient, huh, what a surprise, they are actually engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Lei Tian was astonished by the length of the dreamlike thread, and suddenly a scene was being broadcast live in his dream, which immediately piqued his interest.
"Alright, from now on, whoever manages to win over a girl, I will find out what color of underwear she changes into every day for you all," Lei Tian guaranteed.
The next morning, Lei Tian closely observed the individuals from whom he had extracted spiritual energy and found that the three men were largely unharmed. Even the one who had been drained for three hours showed no significant issues, at most just yawning occasionally
"Tsk tsk, isn't this to cultivate our professional talents? Lei Tian, we have discussed this among ourselves. If you truly enter this line of work, then we will have security in the future. When it comes to dealing with women or if someone tries to exploit us, you must give it your all. From now on, you will be our guardian." Li Hanguang said in an extremely lewd manner.
Lei Tian does not consider himself a good person, but he also cannot openly harm others. If, by any chance, someone were to die or be severely injured because of the Dream Silk, Lei Tian's heart would not be devoid of compassion. Immediately, Lei Tian became cautious. An hour later, he extracted the Dream Silk and entered another friend's dream. Lei Tian realized the implications of this issue and began to conduct experiments on a few friends upstairs.
Private detectives are individuals employed by clients to seek out target privacy or evidence, such as confirming whether someone is cheating or finding evidence related to conspiracy cases. In general, they are paid to help clients resolve their troubles, and the nature of these troubles is naturally determined by the client's needs.
I said to the old man, "Sit up straight and concentrate. Damn it, this hypnosis is really hard to practice." On the weekend, Lei Tian stubbornly dragged Li Hangong along, holding a coin with a hole in it, muttering to himself, but he was actually practicing hypnosis.
What left him both helpless and touched was that Zhang Fuyang and his three companions would bring back one or two new books for him every day, under the pretext of helping Lei Tian recharge. Among these were a considerable number of miscellaneous titles, such as "Training a Private Detective in One Hundred Days".
"I have some Conan comics here, I will give them to you as well, and I hope that one day you will understand them." Li Hangong pulled out a stack of comics from the drawer
Controlling the Dream Weaving Silk took about an hour. Suddenly, Lei Tian felt a sense of hunger, stemming from the dreams in his mind. This small light point was the core of the nightmare, which could be sensed by Lei Tian at any time. At this moment, Lei Tian noticed that due to the use of the Dream Weaving Silk, this dream space had actually dimmed somewhat.
In a group of five, Zhang Fuyang and the other four stared at Lei Tian with intense scrutiny. It turned out that this young man knew nothing about the profession of private detective, yet he had the audacity to claim he wanted to become one. The four of them were immediately filled with disdain.
According to a story seen in a certain pirated book, hypnosis is an essential tool for private detectives; otherwise, when you catch someone, how can you make them tell the truth or spill the beans? Driven by this notion, Lei Tian indeed became interested, and thus, Li Hangong, the last person wanting to leave, was apprehended by him
The four people laughed heartily, and Lei Tian understood that these four individuals regarded him as their official investigative commissioner
However, despite this, if Lei Tian truly wishes to pursue this profession, he must undergo further study. Given his current state of fumbling around blindly, it would be inevitable for him to be caught. Therefore, although the complete works of Sherlock Holmes and Detective Conan may seem somewhat clichéd, they are nonetheless fundamental skills.
In the heart of Lei Tianxin, a thought stirred, and he immediately controlled the Dream Weaving Silk to probe upstairs, finding a guy sprawled on the bed asleep. The Dream Weaving Silk entered his mind, and indeed, the guy was having a chaotic dream. The Dream Weaving Silk paid no heed to this; wherever there was a dream, there was sustenance. Threads of dream power were transmitted from the disordered dreams of that guy.
"Hey, I said, what’s going on with you guys?" Looking at the four of them flipping through one book after another, Lei Tian was astonished. At first, these four fellows reacted so dramatically that they genuinely thought Lei Tian was about to rob a bank. Now, why are they so enthusiastic?
Manipulating the Dreamweaving Silk, I searched the surroundings under the thunderous sky, targeting the various corners and crevices. Wherever the Dreamweaving Silk passed, not only the pedestrians on the road, but even mice, cockroaches, and ants could be seen, almost more miraculous than infrared vision
The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes? "It's somewhat speechless, in this day and age, who reads printed editions
As for the evidence collection by private detectives, the photography skills that Lei Tian has learned will come in handy
Finally, someone spoke to me. Lei Tian let out a sigh and said, "I am truly serious, I swear to the heavens"
Moreover, what surprised him even more was that after acquiring the Nightmare Space, Lei Tian discovered that now, regardless of what book he read, he could almost remember everything at a glance. It allowed him to form bubbles in the Nightmare Space, recording all the content of the books he had read, enabling him to reference them at any time. This left him feeling quite emotional; if he had had this tool earlier, he would not have had to endure the hardship of re-studying.
It must be said that in the span of one month, Lei Tian has read over a hundred books. He has not overlooked any material related to the subject, as if he has a comprehensive private detective encyclopedia stored in his mind
That unusual feeling reemerged, and the hunger gradually faded away. Lei Tiandun immediately confirmed his suspicion; this nightmare was indeed a glutton.
Using the dream-weaving silk, I thoroughly explored the area within a hundred meters around my rented apartment, becoming somewhat familiar with it, and also organized the environment in which I reside
Only then did Lei Tian nod slightly, "That's more like it. Damn it, I haven't even started yet and you all have already crushed my confidence. How am I supposed to get by now"
Could it be that this nightmarish space requires sustenance? Lei Tian felt as if his heart was lodged in his throat, yet the sensation of hunger was undeniably strong
We do not concern ourselves with such matters, however, in stormy weather, good things often take time to come to fruition. You must practice more before putting it into action. When you go out, be sure not to mention that it is from our area, lest the fish pond suffers. Zhang Fuyang spoke earnestly, as if a knife were resting on his neck.
The four of them exchanged glances, speechless; where did this person get their detective instincts from
Lei Tian silently held a set of Sherlock Holmes and a set of Conan, yet had to admit the words of the four fellows; he truly was an outsider when it came to private detectives. Lei Tian's sudden whim was not without basis, of course, but this basis was something he would not mention to anyone.
In the following days, Lei Tian became a homebody, spending all his time in his rented room engrossed in books. To quote a certain celebrity, success is for those who are prepared.
