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

Having achieved the goal of defeating the monsters in the dream, the next step is to awaken the dream's master.

"call."

Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally thought that the giant worm might not die so easily, and all her anxiety had gone unnoticed.

It seems the system did act like a human for once. After all, it was just a gray two-star dream. Even though her recklessness increased the difficulty considerably, it wasn't to that extent.

"However, if I want to awaken the dream's owner, I should at least know where the other person is," Lu Qing thought to herself.

Suddenly, intense pain surged through her entire body, and overwhelming fatigue engulfed Lu Qing's consciousness.

"So sleepy, so tired..."

Before any more thoughts could surface in her mind, the world before Lu Qing's eyes gradually dimmed, and her body slowly collapsed to the ground.

"pain!"

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Qing gradually regained consciousness.

When she finally opened her eyes, she felt uncomfortable all over her body.

Wounds from blood corrosion, splattered calves from acid, cuts from falling from a great height and from dry branches while sliding down a slope...

Besides that, there was a deep sense of fatigue. Even though my body seemed to have rested for a while, my limbs still felt weak.

Slowly turning her neck, Lu Qing tilted her head and looked to the side.

Beside her was a bed, and on the bed lay another girl.

Her gray hair was scattered on the sheets. The girl's eyes were closed, and she was breathing softly. A faint blush appeared on her soft face, making one want to pinch it.

However, Lu Qing was destined not to be able to grasp it, because she couldn't even lift her hand right now.

"Who is this?"

For some reason, Lu Qing felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at the girl in front of her.

It felt just like when I first met my landlady, Zhao Yanning.

"Fang...Fang Qingrou..."

With a slightly hoarse voice, she uttered the other person's name. Lu Qing looked at the sleeping girl in surprise, never expecting that this was someone the original body knew.

Since this person was someone the original owner of the body knew, then this person must not be a human from the dream world.

In other words, the other party is a person from the real world, the person she is trying to awaken in her dream world this time!

"What a coincidence..." Lu Qing thought to herself.

But if she thought about it carefully, if she were observant enough, she should have been able to guess long ago that the person in this dream should know her.

When she woke up in the hotel, the hotel owner didn't ask her name, and the name he called out wasn't her game ID, but her real name!

This suggests that the dream's owner might know her, but she failed to notice it.

"I should have thought of that sooner."

After all, it was her first time entering the dream world, and she didn't notice this. Now that she thinks about it, if she had called her name directly in the dream world, what would have been the point of the game ID?

Suddenly, the door to the room was gently pushed open, and the old priest walked in from outside. He saw that Lu Qing had already opened her eyes.

“You’re awake,” the priest said.

“Water…” Lu Qing said immediately upon seeing the priest.

From the moment she woke up, her throat felt as if it had been smoked, incredibly dry. When she saw that someone had finally arrived, she was immediately excited.

The priest immediately realized what was happening. He put down the wooden tray he was holding and slowly handed the water on the tray to Lu Qing's mouth.

The cool liquid flowed into her parched throat. The priest's hand was steady, not letting the water flow too fast or too slow. In just a short while, Lu Qing had drunk a bowl of water.

"Would you like something to eat?" the priest asked, pointing to the vegetable soup on the wooden plate.

Hearing the priest's words, Lu Qing finally felt the emptiness in her stomach. Even the simple vegetable soup with no seasoning seemed irresistibly charming to her.

"Mmm." Silently swallowing, Lu Qing nodded gently.

“The doctor told me you would wake up around this time, so I came over. John has been taking care of you.” The priest said as he helped Lu Qing up.

It wasn't until she was helped up that Lu Qing realized her clothes had been changed.

This is a set of pure white pajamas, which exposes the arms and part of the thighs. However, on these exposed areas, circles of pure white bandages are wrapped around the wounds.

"This, this outfit is..." Lu Qing asked, her face slightly flushed.

The priest immediately saw through Lu Qing's thoughts and said:

"The owner of the town's tailor shop helped you change. By the way, this dress also belongs to her shop. Consider it a thank you gift for clearing the fog from the town."

P.S.: Bros., please recommend it! I'll only recommend it if it does well, as I don't want to experience the feeling of finishing a million-word novel without any recommendations again.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Dream Rewards

"The tailor shop owner?"

Lu Qing thought about it carefully and realized that she had indeed seen a tailor shop, but she had never gone inside. She had only happened to see the tailor shop owner.

The woman was a rather dignified-looking auntie, who appeared to be in her forties. For some reason, whenever Lu Qing saw the tailor shop owner, she would think of her elementary school homeroom teacher from her previous life.

"Well, the main problem is that there are no women in the church, so I had to find someone I know. I'm quite familiar with the tailor shop owner, so I told her most of the things."

The priest pointed to a wooden box not far away and said:

"Your clothes have been repaired by the shop owner. You can wear them yourself once they're fully restored."

"Thanks......"

Lu Qing looked at Fang Qingrou beside her, and then asked:

"Um, the person next to me is...."

Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, the priest looked at the girl on the other bed and said:

"We met you while the hunter was carrying you and walking with me towards the town, when you were unconscious from the berserk potion."

The priest recalled:

"She was sitting on the ground, resting against a tree, but for some reason, no matter how we called her, we couldn't wake her up. We had no choice but to bring her back."

"I asked the people in town, but no one recognized her. I discussed it with the hunter, and we decided to put her in the same room as you."

"I see..."

"What's wrong? Do you know this person?" The priest noticed Lu Qing's expression and asked.

Hearing the priest's words, Lu Qing thought for a moment and nodded:

"Yes, we know each other. We came to this town together, but when we first entered the forest, a fog suddenly rolled in, causing us to get separated. I only found the town without realizing it."

This was a script that Lu Qing came up with on the spur of the moment, and it shouldn't have any major flaws. Even if it did, the priest probably wouldn't care much.

As for Lu Qing, all she needs to do next is wake Fang Qingrou up so she can leave this dream. So, lies are enough as long as they can cover things up for a while.

After resting for a while, Lu Qing felt her strength gradually returning. She stretched out her hands and slowly touched the vegetable soup on the table.

She was going to starve if she kept chatting, so she decided to eat first.

As for why Lu Qing was able to recover so quickly, it was entirely because the water the priest had just fed her contained some holy water, which Lu Qing had already sensed as soon as the water entered her mouth.

After all, not all water produces a warm feeling after entering the stomach.

Seeing that Lu Qing didn't want to continue, the priest left the room on his own.

After the priest left, Lu Qing finished all the vegetable soup and lay back down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.

Her body hasn't fully recovered yet, so waking Fang Qingrou up should be put on hold for now, at least until she can walk again.

When Lu Qing woke up again, it was already evening. With the help of the holy water, Lu Qing's body had recovered quite well.

Moreover, the side effects of the berserk potion had already worn off. She gently got off the bed, opened the wooden box, and saw that the clothes that were originally badly damaged were now neatly folded inside the box.

"Hey?"

Lu Qing suddenly noticed something was wrong; her clothes seemed to have been altered and not restored to their original state.

She put on the whole outfit and found that many parts that were not very convenient for movement had been modified so that Lu Qing would not feel any discomfort when making large movements.

However, if there's anything Lu Qing wasn't entirely satisfied with...

"Hmm, I never imagined that the first time I wore a dress would be in a dream."

Subconsciously pressing down on the hem of her skirt, Lu Qing felt a chill down below.

"Do all girls wear this kind of thing?"

Wearing such a dress, Lu Qing always felt that she might be seen naked if she walked down the street.

but.......

She glanced at another item inside the wooden box, her eyes flickering slightly.

Safety shorts, something that most men loathed in her past life, and she seemed to hate it too in her past life, but now...

"It's delicious."

After putting on her pants, Lu Qing felt much safer. She couldn't help but recall something a close friend of hers had said in her past life.

"I don't know the difference between swimsuits and underwear. I only know that you won't be considered a pervert if you look at a girl's underwear when she's wearing a swimsuit."

"call."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Qing looked at Fang Qingrou lying on the bed, pondering how to wake her up.

However, just as she was thinking this, Fang Qingrou, who was lying on the bed, suddenly trembled twice.

"?!"

Startled, Lu Qing quickly went to the other person's side.

"Is he about to wake up?" Lu Qing wondered.

After waiting a while, Fang Qingrou's fingers began to move. Lu Qing sat beside her, waiting with a sense of anticipation.

Gradually, the other person opened her eyes. She looked around in confusion at first, and then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw Lu Qing.

"Little deer, have you come to save me?"
