Approximately ten hours have passed.
Wang Ye has already undergone countless rounds of running training in the dreamscape, maintaining a subsonic speed of 0.5 Mach throughout, with the skill level advancing rapidly.
Eventually, Wang Ye felt sowhat monotonous,
but still did not sense any trend of imminent departure from the dreamscape.
He stopped his training, slightly furrowing his brows.
Logically, his sleep ti should have been reduced to an hour by now.
How could it be possible to sleep for ten hours straight, even longer than a normal person’s sleep duration?
Could it be... that the real him is unable to wake up?
Wang Ye’s pupils constricted,
he finally realized the gravity of the situation.
If the perception of ti flow in the dreamscape aligns with reality,
then the real him has already slept for ten hours straight.
Moreover, he fell asleep at dawn, if he slept for ten hours, it would be equivalent to sleeping for an entire day,
during which Li Weimin or Carlos would surely attempt to awaken him.
But Wang Ye is still in the dreamscape now.
This ans soone might have tried to wake him up midway, but failed to do so.
Suddenly, Wang Ye’s scalp went completely numb,
he had a strong premonition,
if he doesn’t take action to leave the dreamscape,
he will not only be trapped in this bizarre and absurd dreamscape.
The real him might also continue sleeping,
never able to wake up, akin to a vegetative state.
Thinking of this, his heart trembled with fear,
and he quickly stood up, squinting to scan the surrounding monotonous scenery.
His brain began to operate rapidly, contemplating an escape strategy.
Since he cannot wake up naturally, what should he do to leave this dreamscape?
In the movie "Inception", the protagonist and so supporting characters also experienced situations where they couldn’t leave the dreamscape, and the best way to exit was through jumping. Using the psychological stimulus brought by gravitational acceleration, triggering the rapid secretion of adrenaline and other hormones, to quickly awaken the body, thereby allowing consciousness to exit the dreamscape.
This thod should be very effective for any ordinary person as a technique for escaping dreams.
But Wang Ye is different, his brain’s amygdala responsible for fear has long lost its sensitivity due to prolonged extre activities, no matter how stimulating the free fall, he cannot feel the thrill.
Therefore, the "jumping" thod is not an option for him.
However, to trigger a surge of adrenaline seems very simple to Wang Ye.
After all, among the multiple skills he mastered, stimulating the body’s potential is a common technique. Among them, the highest-level "Divine Speed" is the most intense.
Wang Ye took a deep breath, suddenly activating Super Sensing,
instantly accelerating his thoughts more than twenty tis.
The next mont, his brain began transmitting a slight pain. This pain signified that his brain’s operation was nearing its limit. He gritted his teeth, maintained this critical operational speed for over ten seconds, but still couldn’t escape the dreamscape, nor did the scene in front of him show even a ripple.
Eventually, he could only dismiss Super Sensing, rubbing his aching head.
"Could it be that stimulating the brain doesn’t allow to escape the dreamscape?" Wang Ye’s eyes appeared confused. If even this thod doesn’t work, he truly can’t think of any thod to help himself escape the dreamscape.
Imdiately after, he shook his head, muttering:
"No, it’s not that it won’t work, but that the stimulation isn’t enough,
it takes a greater stimulus to awaken ."
Since relying on his skills can’t fully stimulate the brain’s potential,
the remaining option is to rely on external forces to break through.
After contemplating for a while, Wang Ye decided to start remodeling his dreamscape world.
Try to add more elents to the dreamscape, making it a real "world".
When the information content within the dreamscape is high enough,
his brain will be overwheld, causing him to wake up.
But this approach carries certain risks; if the dreamscape’s information content is too overwhelming and damages his brain, he has a probability of truly becoming a vegetable.
However, at present, Wang Ye has no choice but to take the risk.
He can’t spend his entire life in the dreamscape, can he?
Wang Ye controlled his body, gradually floating upwards, intending to construct his dreamscape world in the likeness of Earth.
With just a gentle wave of his hand, he could instantly create vast areas akin to towns, filling them with complex flora, fauna, and buildings.
Once he created a region, he would extend outwards again to form even broader territories, creating imagined species and structures within. anwhile, the operational mory in his brain was being consistently occupied by these creations. The higher density or more complex animal behaviors of regions would take up more mory space.
As ti passed, Wang Ye felt the pressure on his brain nerves increasing progressively. His thinking would periodically lapse into sluggishness, headaches beca a constant for him, and it felt like there were two nails persistently drilling into the sides of his temples.
In this endless cycle, Wang Ye’s dreamscape world expanded from a thousand square kiloters to ten thousand square kiloters, then again expanded to a hundred thousand square kiloters. But Wang Ye still did not stop, continued expanding it bigger and more complex...
Although expansion was rely a matter of waving his hand. As his imagination was reproduced piece by piece in his mind, the mory being occupied reached higher levels. His creation speed slowed, gradually hitting a bottleneck.
During the creation process, the only way Wang Ye could alleviate the pain was by counting seconds. Counting one second at a ti, calculating the ti spent carving his dreamscape world. No one knew how long had passed, but his dreamscape world had been expanded to a billion square kiloters. This was twice the size of the entire Earth’s surface.
Finally...
At a certain mont.
His consciousness was suddenly pulled out.
····························
"Hiss!!"
Wang Ye abruptly opened his eyes, only to see a pale ceiling.
He slowly sat up, feeling his long-lost physical body.
"At last, I’m back..."
Just as he was preparing to prop himself up against the bedside and stand up,
his hand touched a wet patch.
He turned his head, only to find the entire sheet where he was sleeping had been soaked with sweat.
It must be noted that his current sweating ability was nearly evolved away.
His current sweating rate was about one percent of a normal person.
Only unless he had undergone exceptionally intense exercise, or experienced a temporary high energy consumption that the air’s cooling ability couldn’t dissipate the internal accumulated heat, would he use the sweating ability for cooling.
The amount of sweat he produced indicated that the consumption during creating the dreamscape world was indeed imnsely high, forcing him to use sweating for cooling.
Of course, with the sheet soaked, the amount of sweat he produced must have been astonishing, even threatening to his life, for his hands had beco emaciated due to dehydration, looking like those of anorexic individuals, resembling a skeleton fra.
Wang Ye quickly got out of bed, went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet and drank water.
Drank over ten liters of water from the faucet before barely recovering.
Just as he was preparing to return to the room to rest, he suddenly rembered sothing, his steps halted abruptly.
Right, ti!
He spent at least several months in the dreamscape.
Yet upon waking, he’s still in the hotel bed.
This obviously doesn’t make sense.
If he beca a vegetable, sleeping for several months,
he should now be lying in a hospital bed,
and not in this familiar Utah motel.
So, he wanted to know how much ti had passed in reality.
Wang Ye quickly took out his phone, awakening the screen.
But upon seeing it, he was stunned.
Displayed on the phone screen was—
October 28th, 8:53.
Wang Ye distinctly rembered the ti before he fell asleep was October 28th, 8:10.
He spent several months in the dreamscape.
In reality, only 40 minutes had passed?!
