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

【Item Name: Snow Princess's Love】

[Item Quality: Purple]

[Synopsis: The pure white ring, inlaid with an ice-crystal-like sapphire, was a token of love that Snow White gave to her beloved after she came of age; however, the couple did not receive the blessings they deserved.]

The princess is cursed by a demon from the abyss. A young man resolutely takes up his family's heirloom sword, vowing to slay the demon and save his beloved.

The young man trekked through mountains and rivers, faced countless formidable enemies, and teetered on the brink of death every day. Gradually, he became a hero in people's hearts, a righteous silver knight.

The silver-clad knight was admired by countless young women, yet his goal remained singular.

After rejecting all attempts to persuade him to stay, the silver-clad knight continued his journey, the ring of love given to him by the princess hidden below his chest, unstained by a single drop of blood.

"It's not the right time yet..." the knight always said, perhaps he would wait until after his formal marriage to wear it on his finger.

In the end, the knight slew the demon as he wished, but his soul was corrupted by it, and the righteous silver knight ultimately fell into darkness.

He struggled back to the kingdom and stood before the sleeping princess, the curse still unbroken, for he was the new demon.

In a story unknown to all, the boy placed a ring on the princess's finger and ultimately died in some unknown wilderness.

The princess, upon waking, knew nothing of the boy's whereabouts, only that a silver-clad knight had slain a demon from the abyss, and that he had never appeared again...

[Skills: Snow Princess's Love, Silver Knight's Protection, Demon Knight's Perseverance, Snow Princess's Regret]

[Snow Princess's Love: Snow Princess is deeply in love with her beloved boy. This ring can bind a companion to a romantic relationship. When either the user or the lover is injured, the damage will be shared by both.]

[The Protection of the Silver Knight: The legend of the Silver Knight brings peace of mind to everyone. When holding this ring, the user will not fall into negative emotions such as confusion, anxiety, or fear.]

[The Demon Knight's Unwavering Commitment: Even after his soul is corrupted and he falls into demonic possession, the knight never abandons his principles. After suffering a fatal attack, the user will be immune to death once, entering a critically injured state.]

[Note: This skill has a one-month cooldown.]

[Snow White's Regret: Although she awoke from the demon's curse, the princess could not find the boy. According to folklore, the righteous silver knight might be the boy she loved, but after the demon's death, the knight vanished without a trace.]

The person who wears this ring will be able to sense the location of their lover, no matter how far away they are.

[Note: The princess and the knight fell in love—what a beautiful story! It is said that the princess remained unmarried until her death in old age. How wonderful! How wonderful!...]

Chapter 401: Distinguishing Good from Evil

PS: Thank you to reader "Da Dao Wu Jiang" for the 1500 Qidian Coins!

"Congratulations my foot!" Lu Qing said, looking at the text written on the item "Snow Princess's Love".

【Snow Princess's Love】At first glance, I wondered what the name meant, but it turned out to be a ring.

As for the story described in the synopsis, which takes up a lot of space...

Although the truth of the story is unknown, it inevitably leaves one with some oppressive feelings after reading it, though not many.

If that's really the story, then how did the ring end up in her hands?

This was the first time Lu Qing had thought about this question. Come to think of it, there seemed to be similar little stories associated with the props she had acquired before.

For example, the legend about the Ripper mentioned on the Ripper's Flying Knife, and the little story about that God in the Holy Silver Secret Dagger. Although the latter seemed a bit far-fetched to Lu Qing, what if, what if these stories were true?

After reminiscing about the short story in the introduction, Lu Qing took the "Snow Princess's Love" ring in front of her, observing its appearance while pondering where it should be worn.

I always feel that wearing a ring is a bit strange, since usually when a girl wears a ring, it means she's getting married or is in a relationship.

Lu Qing didn't really understand either, but after thinking about it, she put it on the index finger of her right hand.

The ring finger was out of the question. Although she didn't understand it very well, she wasn't completely ignorant either; she still knew the meaning of wearing a ring on the ring finger.

Lu Qing spread her slender fingers and held her palm up in front of her, looking directly at the blue gemstone set in the center of the ring.

Even with the backlight off, the sapphire's brilliance did not diminish in the slightest. Lu Qing wasn't particularly interested in gemstones, but she had to admit that the gemstone in front of her was indeed very beautiful.

It's no wonder it was a ring given by a princess of a country; if it weren't beautiful, how could it be befit her status as a princess?

After looking at it for a while without being able to figure it out, Lu Qing put down her hand and stood up from the wooden chair.

She had used both the skill cards and item cards and was quite satisfied with her gains. Now it was time to check out the other things in the cabin.

As for this dream and the video?

There's no rush. Her record in the Abyss Dream has only just been updated on her resume.

Now she has over 100,000 followers. She should consider the consequences before acting. Posting now may make her fans happy, but what will happen when they look back?

Wait a minute, how come you've already finished the illustrations and everything else when the Abyss Dream just ended, less than a day ago?

Is this reasonable?

This is obviously unreasonable, so Lu Qing will wait a while before posting it and then harvest some Dream Coins from her fans.

Once the hype has died down, upload the video again, and it will generate another wave of buzz.

Making money is nothing to be ashamed of; these are all payments made by fans out of love, and she feels perfectly justified in taking them!

That's right, that's exactly it...

Feeling inexplicably guilty, Lu Qing suppressed the unease and then checked the attributes of the two character cards.

【Name: The Eagle of Florence (Ezio Auditore)】

[Quality: Blue]

[Strength: 20%]

Agility: 30%

[Physical fitness: 20%]

[Mental state: 10%]

[Fusion: 90%]

[Special Skill: Fully Activated (90 minutes), Defensive Counterattack (Purple)]

[Item design blueprints: Hidden blade, crossbow, Altaïr's sword, smoke bomb, rope dart.]

[Note: Nothing is true, everything is permitted.]

"It's here!"

Lu Qing looked at the skills on the character cards with some excitement. Finally, after she increased the fusion rate of the cards to ninety percent, the orange skill [Leap of Faith] appeared!

Apart from [Leap of Faith], most of the skills have also been significantly improved, rising from blue to purple level.

Besides these, the most noteworthy skill is actually the [Rope Dart Mastery].

Because this is a rather special case, it's quite impressive if you're skilled at it, but not entirely so.

This is a flexible weapon made by attaching a metal dart head to one end of a long rope. It is used by throwing the dart head using the inertia of the rope.

This dart can both kill the enemy and hook onto them, pulling them off balance.

Or perhaps, one of Lu Qing's favorite ways to play the game is to stand on a tree branch and use it on the enemies below.

After the dart head wrapped around and hooked the enemy's neck, he jumped down from the tree and hanged him alive.

Um... the last one is obviously a bit cruel. If you can kill with one blow, why hang the enemy alive? You know, it hurts a lot when the dart hook is around the neck, but it's not completely fatal.

The person caught in the hook will likely suffer from both oxygen deprivation and the pain inflicted by the dart. It's best used in games, but rarely in real life...

"Speaking of which, they even have smoke grenades," Lu Qing said, looking at the information on the notice board.

Smoke grenades are quite useful. If you don't have any special skills, Lu Qing is invincible in a smoke grenade!

After all, her eagle eyes can see through the smoke, and combined with her stealth abilities, who could find her hiding in the smoke?

Thinking this, Lu Qing flipped over another card.

【Name: Eternal Hunter Twins (Kindred)】

[Quality: Purple]

[Strength: 30%]

Agility: 50%

[Physical fitness: 30%]

[Mental state: 40%]

[Fusion: 40%]

[Skills: Wolf Spirit (Orange), Archery Master (Purple), Wolf Spirit Frenzy (Purple), Good and Evil Discernment (Blue)]

[Discernment of Good and Evil (Blue): Kindred can see the good and evil in everyone, but this only applies to beings whose strength is less than yours.]

[Special Skills: Full Activation (40 minutes), Kindred's Mark (Level 2)]

[Props Design Drawings: None]

[Note: Holding your soul, living together with you.]

"The strange settings have been added."

Lu Qing looked at the newly added [Discrimination of Good and Evil] skill in her skill bar and felt somewhat strange.

She never said that Kindred had such an ability, nor did she know why she had such a skill.

However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Being able to see the good and evil in everyone is like being the Grim Reaper.

"Grim Reaper?" Lu Qing muttered the word. Was it because Qianjue was the Grim Reaper that he had such a skill?

Speaking of which, gods really do exist in this world, so does the legendary Grim Reaper also exist?

Is it because the Grim Reaper possesses such a skill that Kindred is able to acquire it?

If that's the case, there are countless problems involved, but Lu Qing didn't dare to think about it any further. She shuddered and stopped thinking.

Chapter 402: Dreamy Black Rose Perfume

"Hey, Wayne, do you know about Death?" Lu Qing asked as she approached the birdcage and opened the metal door.
