There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

Lu Qing quickly hid and secretly observed the bakery owner in the distance.

The other person was the first person she noticed was suspicious after arriving in Misty Town. However, for various reasons, Lu Qing hadn't investigated him in the past two days. Unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared in front of her.

Moreover, it seems the bakery owner is planning something, as he has even prepared weapons.

"Follow him quietly and see what he's going to do."

Having made up her mind, Lu Qing followed the bakery owner quietly, keeping a certain distance and hiding behind various cover.

The bakery owner seemed to be searching for something. He kept looking around the windows on the edge of the church, and his expression became more and more anxious as he glanced behind each window.

What is he looking for?

Lu Qing already had some guesses in her mind, but she wasn't entirely sure.

Suddenly, the bakery owner stopped; he seemed to have found what he was looking for.

He turned his head and looked around. Just as the other person was about to look at Lu Qing, Lu Qing, who was also nervous, quickly pulled her head back behind the cover.

After finding no one around, the bakery owner's expression turned ruthless, and he climbed onto the window on the wall using both hands and feet.

Only then did Lu Qing realize that the location of the bakery owner looked somewhat familiar. If her previous guess was correct, then she was really in trouble!

Thinking of this, she quickly poked her head out and immediately saw the bakery owner, whose body was already halfway inside the window and whose right sleeve was flashing with a cold metallic glint, raising his weapon to stab the innkeeper's son in the chest.

In a moment of desperation, Lu Qing drew her mithril dagger and recalled the notes on dagger throwing.

With a step forward of his right foot, he instantly exerted force from his waist and arms, and the silver-white dagger pierced the air and flew into the distance!

"puff!"

"Ahhh!"

The bakery owner's scream suddenly rang out. The dagger in his right hand had fallen to the ground, and a silver dagger that had pierced through his entire palm was firmly fixed in the center of his hand.

Chapter Fourteen: Throwing a Dagger

Without having time to check the notice board, although she was surprised that she had actually hit the target, Lu Qing knew that now was not the time to be in a daze, so she quickly ran up.

At that moment, John, who had just heard screams coming from inside the room, kicked open the door and froze when he saw what was happening inside.

"That guy was about to attack the patient with a dagger, John, stop him!" Lu Qing shouted from behind.

After hearing Lu Qing's words, John roughly understood what had happened. He rushed towards the bakery owner, reaching out to drag him into the room and beat him up.

The bakery owner, having recovered from the pain, gritted his teeth and jumped off the edge of the window.

"what!"

Clutching his pierced right hand in pain, the bakery owner glared at Lu Qing resentfully before running away into the distance without looking back.

"Don't even think about running!"

John nimbly flipped out of the window and jumped down, running quickly toward the bakery owner.

How could a middle-aged bakery owner, with severe pain in his palm, possibly outrun the strong and healthy John?

In no time, John caught up with the bakery owner and tackled him to the ground.

The force of being tackled aggravated the bakery owner's hand wound, causing him to scream again.

Hearing the bakery owner's shrill screams, Lu Qing, who had just arrived, decided not to remove the dagger from his hand for the time being, otherwise he might scream again.

"what happens?"

The old priest came out holding a mithril sword, presumably drawn by the screams.

Lu Qing recounted what had just happened to the old priest. After listening, the old priest glanced at the groaning bakery owner and said:

"Anyway, let's tie him up first, and then treat the wounds on his hands."

He found a rope, tied the bakery owner up, and then, expressionless, pulled out the mithril dagger, completely ignoring the bakery owner's screams.

After wiping the dagger clean, the old priest returned it to Lu Qing, saying:

"Keep the dagger safe. Remember to retrieve your weapons after you're done using them."

After a pause, the priest asked:

"Where did you throw the dagger?"

After hearing the priest's words, Lu Qing thought carefully for a moment, then pointed to a tree in the distance and said:

"I was hiding there when I saw him about to attack, so I threw the dagger. I didn't think much about it; I just threw it on instinct..."

The old priest glanced at the distance between the tree and the window, then at the wound on the bakery owner's hand, lost in thought.

He took out some herbs and applied them to the bakery owner's palms.

If your hand is pierced by a dagger, the wound is very likely to become infected, so you should still apply the necessary medication.

That's about it; no further services are possible. These medications were only applied to prevent the bakery owner from contracting the disease.

"Stand on the other side of the wall and try throwing it at that tree again?" the priest said, pointing to the tree trunk in the distance.

The priest seemed to be looking at you with more expectation. If you perform well enough, he might need your "small" help next.

Looking at the notice board, Lu Qing took a deep breath. She had already seen the dagger throwing skill mentioned on the notice board, but she was not sure what level that so-called 20% meant.

Close her eyes and carefully recall the feeling from before, Lu Qing aimed at the distant tree trunk and quickly threw the mithril dagger in her hand.

"Boom!"

The tree trunk made a crisp clanging sound as the mithril dagger pierced precisely into its interior, the sharp blade cutting the entire length of the dagger into the trunk.

"You've hit him!"

Lu Qing was overjoyed, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

The distance between the tree trunk and the wall is not very far, only about seven or eight meters. However, for a novice, it is quite difficult to accurately stab a dagger into a person's palm or a tree trunk from such a distance.

"Can it go any further?" the old priest asked Lu Qing.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qing shook her head, and shook her arm bitterly, saying:

"No, it might not be able to be thrown any further."

Lu Qing's physical condition is still quite poor. After all, this body doesn't seem to have received any training. In fact, due to years of not exercising, it may be weaker than the average person.

Being able to throw a mithril dagger seven or eight meters is already the limit, and that's even with the mithril dagger being much lighter than an ordinary dagger.

"I wonder if exercising in games can improve physical fitness."

It's true that adding points in the game will enhance your physical body in real life, but Lu Qing didn't ask about whether exercising in the game would improve her own attributes.

After this dream ends, she must search on the forum.

“Then let’s leave it at that,” the old priest said.

Next, they had to deal with the bakery owner. Lu Qing and the priest wanted to know why the bakery owner had attacked the survivor who had returned from the mist.

But just as the two were about to ask, John came over.

The survivor woke up!

This is news brought by John.

The moment John brought the news, the last vestige of hope on the bakery owner's face vanished completely. Perhaps if questioned now, he would tell him everything he knew.

After pausing and hesitating for a moment, Lu Qing decided to first check on the survivor who had woken up, and then ask the bakery owner.

After closing and locking the door, Lu Qing followed the priest into the room of the survivor who had returned from the mist.

Upon entering the room, Lu Qing saw the pale-faced young man from before sitting on the bed, holding a wooden bowl and eating food in small bites.

Lu Qing found it strange. Logically speaking, shouldn't a hungry person eat a lot of food?

Or does this young man know that one shouldn't overeat after a long period of hunger?

Lu Qing had no idea that the young man, as the son of the innkeeper, often dealt with caravans, and these caravans would sometimes tell him things that were useful or useless.

One of the reasons is that after being hungry for a long time, one cannot eat too much at once.

Lu Qing glanced curiously at the food in the young man's bowl. Having been in the dream for so long, this was the first time she had seen food other than black bread.

"Hmm, vegetable soup, the kind that doesn't look like it has too many seasonings..."

P.S.: The contract has already been sent out. Now I just have to wait for them to receive it, and once it arrives, I will sign it.

What are you waiting for if you haven't invested yet? Invest now!

Isn't it great to get Qidian Coins for free?

Chapter Fifteen: The Truth About Raw Meat in Bread

"How are you feeling?" the priest asked, looking at the young man lying on the bed.

"I feel so much better. It feels so good to be back in town..."

When the young man saw the priest enter, he quickly put down the vegetable soup he was holding, looking somewhat tired.

However, after a period of rest and eating some warm food, he felt much better.

After a moment's hesitation, the old priest, looking at the young man's state, finally asked the question he wanted to know.

What did you see in the fog?

"........"

After a moment of silence, the young man spoke:

"At first we saw nothing but a vast fog, and for some reason we got lost in the fog and couldn't find our way back no matter which way we went."

"Even if we leave a mark, the way back is shrouded in mist. Fortunately, there are many wild animals and wild vegetables in the forest, plus the food we brought with us, so we won't go hungry."
