The recurring dream made Caesar feel strange. He realized that this was not an ordinary dream — there was no reason for him to be in the same place for several days in a row. Moreover, he was still conscious and could remember the scene in the "dream" the next day.
However, this Dark Dream that had been appearing ever since he had transmigrated into a dragon was so strange that it made people scratch their heads in confusion. There was no guide in this place, nor was there anything like a beginner's guide. If there was a feedback system like user reviews, Caesar would definitely give it a bad review and complain.
However, the reality of the situation was that he could only combine his experiences after his transmigration to explore this pitch-black place. However, every time he explored, he would only end up with nothingness.
Fortunately, it was different this time.
There were no lights or torches around, but there was a light that came from nowhere that illuminated the black dream. It was like a sharp sword that broke the dawn, dispersing the thick fog.
A huge display cabinet appeared in front of him.
Even with the vision of a dragon, the cabinet that appeared out of nowhere was huge. It was unknown how tall it was, and he couldn't see the end of it. The top of the cabinet was submerged in the darkness of the black dream.
Caesar's hooked toes gently scratched its lacquered surface. The cabinet's structure was neat, and the surface was thick and smooth. It was made of an unknown material, and it made a crisp metallic sound when it collided with his claws.
Looking up, one could see that there were actually many treasures placed inside …
Trophies?
They were neatly placed in the display window, reflecting all kinds of luster under the light. The transparent glass allowed him to see through, and Caesar saw that although they were the same shape, their colors and materials were different.
Bronze, black jade, pure gold, white diamond … He did not doubt the authenticity of these expensive materials. The bright luster was irreplaceable. They lay quietly in the cabinet like treasures of the golden age.
Caesar glanced at them. The fine vision of a dragon was amazing. He could even clearly see the small words engraved on the base of the trophy —
"Nuclear fusion power reactor."
"Exoskeleton biological armor."
"Force field generator."
"Neutron star life form reconstruction."
…
Then, Caesar tried it and found that although the transparent glass that separated him looked fragile and fragile, it was actually very strong and stable.
The sharp claws collided with the cupboard with a loud sound, and the strong reaction made Caesar's muscles and bones hurt. The pain was so real that he couldn't help but wonder if he was really in a dream.
He couldn't shatter it, at least not with his current strength.
Before he could continue his research, the indestructible glass of the first display cabinet on Caesar's right disappeared without a sound. A trophy suddenly jumped out and floated in front of him, giving him a fright.
He took two steps back and stared at the trophy that was as tall as an ordinary person. He then looked at the display window that was only as tall as his calf. He had no idea how big the interior of the display window was.
After leaving the display window, the trophy quickly enlarged. Its shape was no different from the trophies commonly seen on Earth, but its surface was as smooth as a mirror and surprisingly good to the touch. At the front of its base, there was an inscription that seemed to have been carved by a knife and an axe —
"Dragon Body Gene Enhancer Type I"
Caesar stared at the words for a long time. The bronze cup that represented the reward left the cabinet and came to him. Did this mean that he had received a 'reward'?
But where did this reward come from, and why hadn't it appeared before?
If this was really a reward, why did he get the bronze cup that seemed to be the lowest grade? How did he get the higher-grade emerald and white diamond trophies?
Caesar narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the bronze object in his claws. After guessing that this might be a reward, he didn't feel the ecstasy that he had imagined. Instead, he looked at it with a cautious attitude, thinking about where this reward came from.
Soon, he made a new discovery.
The bronze base seemed to sense his gaze. Under Caesar's gaze, rows of neatly written words that seemed to be arranged by a computer slowly appeared.
[Predator]
You have begun to adapt to life in the new world. You have now taken the first step.
Everything is possible. I wish you a pleasant journey.
Caesar stared at these words for a long time and then fell into deep thought. The words "predator" and "first step" gave him a lot of inspiration, allowing him to sense clues.
After dozens of seconds, Caesar opened his eyes again. His vertical pupils flashed with light. "I see."
He understood. Before he fell asleep, he had hunted a wild tiger alone. At that time, he was unbearably hungry. Considering his future development, he had no choice but to take the risk and enter the forest.
That was Caesar's first real hunting.
When he fell asleep, the towering display cabinet appeared for the first time, and the bronze trophy also landed in front of him.
"But, these things … Hmm, the style seems a bit wrong."
Caesar's gaze lingered between the bronze cup and the other prizes in the cabinet. Logically speaking, if these were really rewards, shouldn't they be magic from another world, divine weapons, or something like that?
The black dream was silent, and no one answered.
The trophy was as bright as a mirror, and its surface reflected his image. But Caesar keenly noticed that his posture in the reflection didn't change, but his body had undergone a great change.
In the bronze cup's reflection, the scales and skin of his entire body became transparent. Caesar walked closer to see more clearly, but the bronze cup seemed to know his thoughts, and the image gradually enlarged.
The reflection became more transparent, and Caesar could even see his own beating heart in the image.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, the bronze cup that was as tall as a human suddenly exploded, turning into countless tiny specks of light that gradually covered his body. Among them, there were especially many specks of light that entered his head and heart. The specks of light fought to be the first to enter.
