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

Suddenly, Fang Qingrou seemed to notice something. She sniffed the air carefully, then looked at Lu Qing and said, "Little Lu, why do you smell like flowers?"

“A little,” Muir added at this moment.

"Ah, this..."

Lu Qing scratched her cheek, unsure how to explain for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said, "This is an item I obtained from a dream yesterday. It can enhance charm and disrupt scents... oh dear~"

Lu Qing was speaking when she realized that Fang Qingrou had somehow gotten close to her, hugging her waist and rubbing against her chest.

"What are you doing..." Lu Qing asked Fang Qingrou, her face full of exasperation.

"I don't know, I just inexplicably feel that the deer smells really good..."

That's enough!

Upon hearing Fang Qingrou's description, Lu Qing immediately guessed that this was the effect of the Dreamy Black Rose perfume.

She pushed away the weapon pressed against her face with her hand and struggled to break free from Fang Qingrou's embrace.

Just as the two were playfully fighting, a slightly trembling voice came from outside the pavilion.

"that........."

The two, who were playfully fighting, stopped and looked in the direction from which the sound came. What they saw was a striking patch of golden hair and a light blue ribbon tied behind it.

Appearing before the three was a blonde girl with pale purple eyes. She wore a light blue dress and black and white stockings, and stood outside the pavilion with a flushed face.

"Excuse me, are you from out of town? Do you still have sugar cubes in your donuts?" the girl stammered, looking quite nervous.

“Uh…” Lu Qing and the other two exchanged glances and guessed who the newcomer was.

"Aren't you Mengmeng a girl?" Muir came up to the girl and looked at her.

"Hmm..." Perhaps because Muir was too close, the girl couldn't help but lower her head, staring at the ground as if she were thinking about something.

Upon seeing this, a single word involuntarily came to mind for all three of them.

Social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, is something that those who know it understand, while those who don't need a lot of explanation. Besides, Lu Qing doesn't think anyone is unaware of what social anxiety is, so she won't go into detail here.

The girl in front of me looked exactly like someone with social anxiety; you could feel her nervousness just by looking at her.

“So, now that everyone’s here, let’s go to my house,” Muir said, clapping his hands to break the silence.

"Mmm." Lu Qing and Fang Qingrou nodded, then involuntarily looked at [Mengmeng is not a girl.]

"I, I have no objection!" the girl said nervously after feeling the gazes of the group.

"Ah, this..."

The three of them exchanged a glance and could only shake their heads helplessly. Lu Qing threw the empty bag and cup into the community's trash can, and then followed Muir toward her home.

The journey was somewhat silent, as all three of them couldn't help but focus their attention on the blonde girl. After all, they were already quite familiar with each other, so it was natural for them to be curious about her.

"What should I do? What should I do? Why is everyone looking at me?!"

【Mengmeng is not a girl】followed behind the three of them step by step, feeling so embarrassed that she could practically dig her toes through three floors.

"Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing? But the maids all said there's nothing wrong with this outfit..."

Why is nobody talking? Don't look at me!

"Waaaaah, I just want to crawl into a hole and disappear..."

As Lu Qing, who was second to last, felt the increasingly oppressive atmosphere behind her, her lips twitched involuntarily.

After thinking for a moment, she deliberately slowed her pace, came to the girl's side, and said:

"Hello, my name is Lu Qing, what's your name?"

"Huh? I, my name is Hao Meng." A faint floral fragrance wafted over, which for some reason calmed Hao Meng down. She was slightly flustered at first, but then answered.

"So cute?" Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, not expecting the girl's name to be like that. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Is it the 'Chi' of equator plus the 'Hao' of the ear radical?"

"Hmm..." Hao Meng nodded and looked down at the ground.

"What a cute name!" Fang Qingrou appeared beside Hao Meng at some point and said with a smile.

“You three…” Muir turned around and looked at the three of them helplessly, and said, “Hurry up, don’t dawdle behind.”

"Okay, okay!" Hao Meng was the first to respond when she heard Muir's words, and then Xiao Pao went behind Muir.

"Let's leave it at that for now. It'll be fine once we get used to it," Lu Qing said to Fang Qingrou, watching Hao Meng's retreating figure.

"Yes, you'll get used to it after a while," Fang Qingrou nodded.

Lu Qing understands social anxiety very well. After all, she was like that before high school. She didn't like going out or socializing with others, and preferred to stay in her own little world every day.

It wasn't until she entered high school that she realized she couldn't continue like this, so she started to take the initiative. She tried her best to act as if she wasn't afraid of socializing at all and interacted with her classmates. When her classmates dragged her out of the house, she would also pretend to go out often.

In fact, once you take the first step, social anxiety is easy to overcome.

She's performed in an opera house with hundreds of people before, hasn't she?

With a smile, Lu Qing quickened her pace and came to Hao Meng's side.

P.S.: That's right, the new character is Hao Meng!

This name is the name of the main character in a book I read before, and it's also the name of one of my group members.

I designed her as a busty loli, very introverted and shy, but also with a hidden side, although I haven't explicitly stated yet that she's busty...

The character cards will be created soon. As for the pictures, I did find a few, but they'll have to do with what you see.

To be honest, I originally planned to design Hao Meng as a cute male character, essentially writing a female character but portraying him as a male. However, after being advised by my friends in the group and after careful consideration, I decided against it...

Damn it, my plan to raise a D-cup loli has fallen through just like that! I'm so upset...

Chapter 409: Self-Introduction

"This is my home, please come in."

After taking the elevator all the way to the twelfth floor, Muir used his key to open the door.

"I'm usually alone at home, so please feel free to come in and have fun," Muir added at the end.

The group entered the house, and apart from Hao Meng, everyone seemed quite casual.

Lu Qing looked around but didn't find anything noteworthy. To the right of the entrance was the living room and balcony, and to the left was the kitchen.

The room was very clean, and there was no unpleasant smell in the air, so it seems that the owner of the room cleans it regularly.

Just as Lu Qing was thinking this, a dark blue figure slowly emerged from behind Muir. Who else could this figure be but Xiao Lan?

To Lu Qing's surprise, Xiao Lan was dressed in a neat maid outfit and looked at Lu Qing and the other two with an indifferent expression.

Without Muirdo saying anything, Xiao Lan left the room on her own after seeing Lu Qing and the other two. A little while later, she brought back a small folding wooden table from somewhere, placed it on the bed, and then quietly left again.

"This is..." Lu Qing looked at Muir with some confusion, hoping she could explain.

"Hehehe." Muir covered his mouth and chuckled, saying, "I heard that Xiao Lan used to be a maid, and she would help me with housework."

"I think it's not about helping, but rather you watching from the sidelines," Fang Qingrou suddenly interjected at this moment.

"Arou!" Muir said, pretending to be angry as he looked at Fang Qingrou.

"Didn't you tell me yourself that before Xiao Lan helped clean, your room was actually very..."

"Ahem, let's talk about something useful." Lu Qing coughed twice, interrupting Fang Qingrou.

The four climbed onto Muir's bed and sat around the small wooden table.

"Anyway, let's introduce ourselves first. My game ID is Stranger, and my name is Lu Qing. You can call me Little Deer or A Qing." After the four of them sat down together, Lu Qing spoke first.

"My game ID is 'Loves Donuts,' and my real name is Fang Qingrou. You can call me whatever you like, but don't go too far~" Fang Qingrou said with a smile after Lu Qing finished speaking.

"My name is Muir, and my game ID is Sugar Cube," Muir said slowly.

"........."

"I, my name is Hao Meng, my game ID is Mengmeng, not a girl. Although that's what the ID says, I am indeed a girl..." Hao Meng said nervously after everyone had finished speaking.

"I didn't have to say that last sentence," Lu Qing thought to herself.

The idea was to have everyone introduce themselves so they could get to know each other, but frankly, it was just for Hao Meng. After all, the three of them already knew each other, so there was really no need for self-introductions.

This was done partly to reduce Hao Meng's nervousness. It's really unexpected that someone who seems so talkative in the game is actually a socially awkward person in real life...

So cute!

Lu Qing couldn't help but glance at Hao Meng's somewhat nervous appearance several times, and for some reason, she had the urge to tease her and see how she would react.

"What am I thinking...?" Lu Qing thought to herself speechlessly, suddenly realizing that there was a big problem with her thoughts.

"Hmm..." After pondering for a moment, seeing that none of the three intended to speak, Lu Qing spoke up herself:

"Now that we've introduced ourselves, let's talk about our abilities. After all, we can only cooperate better if we understand each other, right?"

“Little Deer is right,” Fang Qingrou was the first to agree.

“That’s what I think too,” Muir said.

"Hmm, I think it's fine..." This was what Hao Meng said.

"Well, in that case, I'll go first." Lu Qing nodded and said, "I personally prefer close combat, and my weapons include daggers, longswords, fist swords, and hidden blades."

"Because of the cards, my longsword and hidden blade skills are purple level. In addition, I also have purple archery, blue level throwing knife, pistol and other skills."

"Um... let me think about it again. I also have night vision, assassination, dancing, high poison resistance, and a little medical knowledge. As long as there is water or dry grass below, I won't die no matter how high I jump."

"I also possess the Extraordinary Sequence Nightmare, which grants me strong survivability..."

As she spoke, Lu Qing felt that she seemed to have many more skills. After thinking for a moment, she made a concluding remark: "In short, if you want to fight, you can't go wrong with me. After the game is updated, I'll share the personal attribute interface with you."

In the game, you can share your attributes with your friends. Of course, the images shared here can be edited, and Lu Qing will remove some skills as appropriate.

Fang Qingrou and Muir are people she trusts completely, but Hao Meng...

Although he doesn't seem like a malicious person, it's always good to be cautious. As for which skills Lu Qing should remove...

She plans to remove the Black Rose Dancer's Dance Steps and the Black Rose Vampire skills, keeping them as her trump cards, and it's best not to tell too many people about them under normal circumstances.

As Lu Qing was thinking about this, she suddenly noticed a rather resentful gaze fixed on her.

Fang Qingrou was looking at her with a resentful expression, as if she had done something unforgivable to her.
