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

"Ugh."

With a sigh, Lu Qing felt a wave of exhaustion as she thought about the special dream she would have to participate in later, "Mengmeng is not a girl".

Having emerged from the dark forest, all she wants now is to rest for a while, but as for how long that rest will last...

"Ugh, I'm so exhausted."

Slumped listlessly on the wooden table in the small house, her silver-white hair cascading over the surface, Lu Qing looked at the few items laid out before her and finally felt much better.

Sitting up again, Lu Qing lazily stretched and then opened the SSS-level experience point gift pack.

Congratulations! You have gained 11203 experience points!

[You've leveled up! Your current level is 10, and you've gained 15 attribute points!]

"You've been promoted three levels in a row?"

Looking at the message on the notice board, Lu Qing thought of the experience points she had gained from the SSS experience pack after the Night City Dream ended, which only raised her level by two.

Unexpectedly, this Abyss Dream event resulted in her leveling up by three!

“But it feels like something’s missing…” Lu Qing muttered to herself.

It's definitely not because she's greedy; she genuinely feels that the experience points are a bit too few.

After all, the difficulty of this Abyss Dream far exceeds that of a normal white-level dream; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a blue-level dream.

She overcame so many levels to challenge this dream, and even discovered the truth behind it. Logically speaking, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to improve by at least four levels.

But these are things I can only think about in my heart. Level three is fine, it's much better than level two.

Including the attribute points granted upon the end of the dream, she currently has a total of twenty attribute points.

Lu Qing had already figured out how to allocate points to these attributes.

First, max out your Spirit by spending five points to raise it to fifty, then add five more points to Agility to raise it to forty.

However, when Lu Qing wanted to raise her agility to forty, she found that her strength attribute was too low, which prevented her from raising her agility further. So she put five more points into strength, bringing her strength attribute to thirty-four.

After careful consideration, Lu Qing allocated all five remaining attribute points to Strength.

In that case, her attributes would be Strength 39, Agility 40, Constitution 41, and Spirit 50.

What is this? It's a hexagonal warrior!

Well, although there are only four attributes...

"Hmm, I've used up all my attribute points. Next..."

Lu Qing rubbed her hands together excitedly, preparing for the main event to come.

First of all, there's the purple skill card. You have to understand, this is a purple skill card, and she hasn't seen one yet.

Speaking of which, the player with the purple item really stole the show during the last Night City Dream event.

Well, that's only on the surface. Many people also have orange or even red special skills, but they don't flaunt them. Instead, they develop their skills quietly.

From this perspective, the guy who boasted about having purple items and formed cliques was incredibly stupid. I wonder what his master would think if he saw the live stream.

Shaking her head, Lu Qing put the matter out of her mind and then tore open the purple skill card.

[Randomly selecting skills from the skill library...]

[Skill selection complete, please select!]

[Inner Potential: Unleashes a large amount of potential within the body in a short period of time. During the use of this skill, the user's body will endure a tremendous burden.]

【Dragon's Roar: A roar that imitates the divine dragon, dealing mental and shock damage to all targets within its range. There is a chance to gain the special skill [Dragon's Roar]】

[Equivalent Exchange: The ability to quickly replenish any energy, even if it's not your own, by consuming your own physical strength.]

[Unyielding Will: Within five seconds of use, no matter what happens, the user cannot fall into a coma, except in cases of death.]

"........."

Very well, it's that painful part again. If she could, Lu Qing would love to get all four skills.

Each one looks incredibly useful; it's no wonder they're purple-level skills.

【Inner Potential】 sounds like a skill that can be used to unleash hidden potential within the body, but in return, it comes with a huge burden.

It's a skill that inflicts a thousand damage on the enemy while also inflicting eight hundred on yourself. The exact load is unclear, but it must be a pretty good skill.

"It's similar to the blue skill [Berserk] recorded on the forum..." Lu Qing muttered softly.

【Dragon's Roar】

The skill description doesn't clearly show its specific effects. It deals mental and shock damage, which sounds pretty powerful, and there's even a chance to learn the special skill [Dragon Roar]?

The temptation is quite great, and when it comes to shock damage, it makes one think of creatures that are not afraid of physical attacks.

For example, a moving mountain of flesh, it would be difficult to damage the opponent's internal organs with weapons alone. Using this skill would probably have a pretty good effect.

The effect of 【Equivalent Exchange】 is similar to its name; it can replenish any energy by consuming stamina, even if the energy is not Lu Qing's own.

What does it mean?

Lu Qing thought about it carefully for a while before she understood the meaning of this skill.

Take a chestnut.

When Lu Qing is using her phone, if the battery runs out, she can charge it by expending her own physical energy!

Yes, it's that amazing.

Let's take this a step further. What if she used this skill on someone else, for example... consuming her own stamina to replenish the stamina or energy of other teammates?

"Hiss... I really want to choose this skill." Lu Qing thought with a conflicted expression.

Let's look at the last skill, [Unyielding Will].

It ensures that the user will not lose consciousness for five seconds after use, under any circumstances except in the event of death.

This skill may seem useless at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that it's actually quite overpowered.

Just think about it, if you could keep yourself conscious for five seconds, how much could she do in those five seconds?

"What should I choose...?" Lu Qing asked, lying on the table with her head resting on her arm.

Chapter 400: Snow Princess's Love

Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Dragon's Roar!

"what........"

Lu Qing felt a tickle in her throat. She opened her lips and felt a strange power surging from within her.

She took a deep breath, opened her mouth as wide as possible, and then let out a deafening roar.

"Roar!!!"

The powerful sound waves disturbed the surrounding air, forming wave-like patterns, but even such a roar could not shake the small house in the slightest.

Lu Qing covered her mouth in surprise, feeling that the sound she made was rather inelegant.

"Gah! Are you crazy? Making such a loud noise!" Wayne, who was sleeping in the birdcage, said angrily after being startled awake.

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help myself," Lu Qing said, glancing awkwardly at Wayne.

Because Wayne had always been rather unnoticed, she easily forgot about him. Otherwise, she would definitely have paid more attention, at least she would have spoken more quietly, or something like that...

This skill is quite useful. Don't be fooled by the fact that the hut looks fine; if it were a real wooden house, it would probably fall apart on the spot after being hit by her Dragon's Roar.

It's hard to imagine what would happen if ordinary people heard her roar.

Did she faint on the spot, or did she experience tinnitus or a ruptured eardrum? Or, to be even bolder, might her heart stop beating altogether?

Lu Qing felt that all three of these things could happen. After all, this was a purple-quality skill. If she couldn't achieve this level of skill, how could she use it to deal with even stronger enemies?

As for the reason for choosing this skill...

Because the skill description for [Dragon's Roar] mentions that there's a certain probability of mastering the special skill [Dragon's Roar].

Anyway, she was quite curious about the effect of the [Dragon Roar] skill, but unfortunately, judging from the current reaction on the notice board, she probably hasn't been able to learn this special skill.

"Maybe it requires some special conditions, like dragon blood or something?" Lu Qing thought, stroking her chin.

Logically speaking, the skills drawn from skill cards should be related to one's own talents, and basically only skills that match one's own talents will appear.

Of course, sometimes you might get skills that you only have a slight talent for, which is why you have to choose one out of four. After all, if you just randomly select one, you might end up with a skill that is completely unsuitable for you.

There are only two possibilities for her to draw the skill [Dragon's Roar].

One possibility is that she possesses a faint trace of dragon blood, but its purity is not high enough to allow her to learn the special skill [Dragon Roar].

Another possibility is that she doesn't have dragon blood, but only acquired the skill [Dragon's Roar] because of her talent for using it.

After all, the description of the [Dragon's Roar] skill states that it is merely a skill created by imitating the roar of a divine dragon, and has nothing to do with bloodline.

Well, Lu Qing thinks she's the latter.

Besides being curious about the [Dragon Roar] skill, Lu Qing actually had many other reasons for choosing this skill.

The advantages mentioned above are only part of the story. Another part is that she feels she doesn't really need the skills of "intrinsic potential" and "equivalent exchange".

What? You mean "unyielding will"?

What is that? I'm really not familiar with it. It's not like I'm invincible for five seconds. What's the use of it?

As for [Inner Potential], Lu Qing felt that she didn't really need explosive skills, and the side effect of using them would put a strain on her body, so she eliminated them.

【Equivalent Exchange】is similar, it sounds convenient, but it's not very useful for her. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that 【Dragon's Roar】is more useful, and there is also a certain probability of obtaining the 【Dragon's Shout】 skill.

Although she didn't get it...

"That's fine then," Lu Qing said with a sense of relief.

After she finished speaking, she picked up the [purple item card] and chose to use it.

[You have used a purple item card. Drawing items for you is in progress...]

[Item draw complete!]

You have obtained the item: Snow Princess's Love.
