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

"These are all games I've never seen before."

As a gamer, Lu Qing believed she knew most games, but she had never even heard of the games the people around her were playing, let alone seen them.

This made Lu Qing even more certain that she had traveled to another world.

"So even if I have money in the future, I still won't be able to play in the League. Wouldn't all that training and skill to reach Diamond rank be for nothing?"

As Lu Qing pondered this, she began searching for crucial information.

The world is still the same as always, and the history of the ancients isn't anything special, at least Lu Qing isn't very interested in it.

After a quick glance, the overall trajectory seems similar to my previous life, except for the names of the countries.

What Lu Qing was really interested in was a game called "Dreamland".

At first, Lu Qing thought she had misread it, that a game had appeared in the main text of history. It wasn't until she checked carefully that she realized she hadn't made a mistake.

If I remember correctly.

Lu Qing turned to look at the movie poster on the wall of the internet cafe, which clearly read "Dreamland".

Sensing that something was amiss, Lu Qing continued reading.

The game "Dreamland" suddenly appeared twenty years ago, where sleeping people found themselves able to enter a game about dreams.

In this game, players need to travel to other people's dreams, complete the goals within the dreams, and awaken the people trapped in the dreams.

This way you can get game rewards.

That's not really a big deal. The most important thing is that the strength you gain in the dream game can also be enhanced in reality!

Moreover, this game doesn't require any equipment; you can enter it simply by sleeping!

However, not everyone can enter the game while sleeping. Some people may fall into a dream while asleep, and these people who fall into a dream need the help of players of "Dreamland" to wake them up.

However, a person who is asleep can actually try to wake themselves up; it all depends on the dreamer's ability.

At the beginning of the game, there was some chaos in society, but it was quickly resolved.

Because you never know if the shopkeeper you're robbing is a pro player in the game, and not everyone can keep getting stronger by playing games.

After all, failing to awaken a dream not only brings no reward but also a penalty, and if you fail to awaken a dream, the dream will become even more powerful.

Then, someone of a higher level will be needed to resolve the dream, and the person trapped in the dream may very well lose their life because of your failure.

Having read this far, Lu Qing roughly understood what this "Dreamland" was all about.

Once she gets home, she'll definitely want to experience it properly, so in the coming days, she'll be searching for information about this dream game.

The cylindrical pods on the other side of the internet cafe are not actually virtual reality gaming pods, but hibernation pods.

It's specifically designed for playing "Dreamscape". Because the capsule is filled with nutrient solution, theoretically, as long as you have enough money, you can stay there forever.

But truly wealthy people buy their own gaming pods; who would come to an internet cafe if they could afford a gaming pod?

"In that case, that event is definitely worth considering."

As Lu Qing walked out of the internet cafe, she recalled the promotional posters on the walls and began to make her own plans.

It's impossible for her to find a job. Her memory is completely messed up right now, and she definitely wouldn't be able to do a good job even if she did find one.

Being behind on rent would make one feel somewhat embarrassed, and Lu Qing also didn't want to eat the box of instant noodles in the corner of the room.

So making money is a given, at least we need to resolve the current economic crisis first.

"But can I get first place?"

Anyone at level five or below can participate, and the number of participants is expected to be very large, especially since she hasn't even touched a game yet.

According to online information, it seems that only people who are 18 years of age or older can enter.

"According to the information on my ID card, I think I am 22 years old. I should have entered the game before."

Lu Qing wasn't sure, so she hurriedly returned home and lay down on her bed in the bedroom, preparing to enter her dream world to see what was going on.

"I hope I'm not unlucky enough to get stuck in a dream."

Lying in bed somewhat nervously, Lu Qing found herself unable to fall asleep at the crucial moment.

Are you excited? Maybe, after all, what happened today was just too bizarre.

Time travel, a dream game...

Lost in thought, Lu Qing drifted off to sleep, not knowing how much time had passed.

Welcome to the Dream Game!

The sound of Lu Qing's own voice startled her, and she quickly came to her senses. She found herself standing in a small room.

According to online sources, each person starts in a different location when they enter the game.

According to Lu Qing's observation, this place was somewhat like the interior of a wooden house.

There was a wooden door on the wall in front of her, and a wooden table on the left with a blank notebook and an oil lamp on it.

Upon approaching, I saw that the notebook was completely empty, but next to it was a quill pen.

Lu Qing tried to pick up the quill pen, but found that it couldn't write anything.

It was at this moment that a notice hanging next to the wooden door of the house caught Lu Qing's attention.

Upon closer inspection, the notice board displayed these lines of text.

[House Level: 0]

Experience points: 0/100

Defense: 10

[Functional Buildings: An oil lamp for restoring energy, a notebook, and a quill pen.]

------------

Chapter Three: The Misty Town

"There's no such information online."

Lu Qing approached the notice board and gently tapped it with her slender fingers.

[The Rejuvenating Oil Lamp: This dilapidated oil lamp emits only a faint light. In areas illuminated by its glow, the player's fatigue level will slowly decrease.]

New text appeared on the notice board. Lu Qing seemed to have guessed something. She reached out and pointed to the words "notebook and quill pen".

As expected, this time the notice board included instructions for notebooks and quill pens.

[Notebook and quill pen: A notebook made of sandpaper and animal hide, and a quill pen made of duck feathers instead of goose feathers, capable of automatically recording important information.]

"How about we check out the forum?"

Lu Qing wanted to check the forums to see if there were any players similar to herself, but of course, she just wanted to look and wouldn't tell anyone.

If this is a common occurrence, then there's no need to hide it. But what if it belongs to her alone?

Thinking of this, Lu Qing couldn't help but get excited.

If this is the legendary cheat code, then wouldn't she really be able to survive in this world just by playing the game?

"Phew, calm down, it's not time to be happy yet."

Patting her face, Lu Qing said to the air in front of her, "Open the menu!"

"......"

No response.

"?"

Suspecting she might have accidentally mispronounced it, or that her Mandarin wasn't standard, Lu Qing took a deep breath and repeated:

"Open the menu!"

"......"

There was still no response.

"That's not right, that's what everyone online is saying. Also, what happened to the tutorial for new players?"

"Ah, no, I forgot, my predecessor wasn't necessarily a newcomer."

Calling the game menu had no effect, and Lu Qing was at a loss for what to do. But just then, she glanced at the notice board not far away and was surprised to find that the font on it had changed quietly.

[Character Menu]

Player ID: ? ? ?

[Level: 0 (Gray)]

Strength: 4 (Muscle strength, explosive power)

Agility: 4 (physical flexibility and reaction speed)

[Constitution: 5 (Stamina, Resilience, Defense)]

[Spirit: 6 (Spiritual Strength)]

[Skills: None]

[Card Slot: Empty]

"So, will my game menu only be displayed on this notice board from now on?" Lu Qing wondered, looking at the character menu on the notice board.

The game's attributes are quite standard: strength, agility, and constitution, plus spirit; there are no charisma, luck, or anything like that.

Perhaps that kind of thing can't be compensated for by simply adding points...

However, judging from the character menu, her previous account has probably disappeared, otherwise how could she not even have an ID?

In addition to the character menu, Lu Qing also saw two lit-up icons.

[Backpack][Forum]

The backpack, as the name suggests, is the character's backpack. Opening it allows you to see what's inside.

However, judging from the information online, this backpack is not a space prop that can hold just anything.

First, only game items can be put into the backpack. Second, the backpack cannot be used while experiencing a dream.

Therefore, before entering the game, be sure to take everything out of your backpack and prepare everything before entering.
