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

Chapter 413: Level 6 Hut

Opening her eyes, Lu Qing returned to her familiar little house.

No, perhaps it's not that familiar either.

Looking down, she saw a light gray carpet on the ground beneath her feet, which stretched forward to a workbench not far away.

In front of the workbench was a wooden window, which was now tightly closed. To the right of the workbench stood a wooden cabinet, which had replaced the original workbench and cabinet.

Looking to the left side of the room, there was a fireplace, along with a coffee table and sofa around it.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing walked along the blanket to the desk, pulled the wooden chair out from under the desk, and sat down.

On the table were neatly arranged an open diary, a quill pen inserted into an ink bottle, and that familiar black iron kerosene lamp.

"So, where's Vayne?"

Sitting on the wooden chair, Lu Qing looked around but didn't see Wayne. Just then, she suddenly noticed some extra words in her diary.

[House Level: 6]

Experience points: 1750/2500

Defense: 2300

[Functional Buildings: Exquisite hand-held lamps, a foreigner's diary, a foreigner's lockers, a foreigner's changing room, a refined training ground, an exquisite birdcage, a simple reading room, a trophy display room, and a simple garden.]

[Exquisite Handheld Lamp: A finely crafted black iron handheld lamp, engraved with intricate patterns. Its light never extinguishes and possesses a certain power to ward off evil spirits; those bathed in its light can slowly recover their strength.]

The stranger can summon the lantern to his hand at any time to dispel the darkness.

[The Stranger's Diary: A diary recording the lives of strangers. It has the ability to automatically track stranger activities and occasionally provides clues. It can also be used to rewind memories, and when rewinding, one can enter observer mode.]

[The Stranger's Locker: A locker containing important items that can be summoned to the Stranger's side anytime, anywhere.]

[The Stranger's Dressing Room: A mirror that reflects the true appearance of the soul and a finely crafted dressing table; the ability to access and capture abnormal states as cosmetics; a wardrobe—what unexpected items might it contain?]

[Exquisite Training Grounds: A training ground for foreigners, where skills can be simulated and practiced.]

[Exquisite Birdcage: A well-crafted birdcage significantly improves the bird's quality of life. At the same time, you will gain the ability to share a view and a connection with your bird!]

[A simple reading room: A reading room filled with various books. Reading in this room increases reading speed and significantly improves the ability to remember the content.]

[Loot Showroom: Loot fully showcases the strength and ambition of the cabin's owner. Depending on the loot provided, the cabin's owner will gain various enhancement abilities.]

[Simple Garden: A newly cultivated garden with only a simple fence and scarecrow. It randomly provides 1-3 types of plant fruits each week. You can plant plant materials and randomly obtain special plant fruits that are greater than the amount of planting materials.]

"Now I can see the contents of the original notice board in the diary?" Lu Qing thought with some delight.

She had wanted to complain about this for a long time. Even though the work desk was right here, she had to go to the door to check the notice board every time. She didn't expect that the upgrade of the cabin would actually solve this problem.

"So many new features have been added..."

The handheld lamp and the newly added locker can be summoned to your side at any time. The diary's rewind function has an additional spectator mode. The locker room has an additional wardrobe. I haven't been inside the training ground yet, so I can't see it clearly.

The birdcage adds a telepathic ability to the original shared field of vision, which should refer to communicating in one's mind.

There's not much to say about the reading room; it's just that the original bookshelves have been transformed into a room, but the effect has probably improved a lot. The same goes for the trophy exhibition room.

A simple garden...

"Can we grow vegetables in the cabin now?" This was the first thought in Lu Qing's mind.

Cough cough, she didn't know why her first thought was to grow vegetables. Perhaps it was just an instinct etched into her soul.

She wanted to take a closer look, but then she discovered that Hao Meng had already sent her several messages in the message bar.

Lu Qing then remembered her purpose in entering the dream game: while Fang Qingrou and Muir were completing their monthly dream attempts, she was also going to team up with Hao Meng for a PVP match.

First, let's see how strong this little girl is in combat, and as for teamwork...

These things can't be rushed. Just play more PvP matches to get used to each other and you should be fine.

Thinking this, Lu Qing sent a team request to Hao Meng. A short while later, accompanied by a tremor in the outside world, the two buildings came together.

Lu Qing opened the wooden window and discovered that Hao Meng's inner world was actually a stone house carved into a small mountain, which made her think of Hao Meng's socially anxious personality.

Does hiding a small house inside the mountain mean concealing oneself underground? If inner architecture is truly related to personality, then what is Fang Qingrou's lighthouse, her small house?

Shaking her head, Lu Qing stopped thinking about it and sent a message to Hao Meng.

[Stranger: Can you wait a moment? I have something to do.]

[Mengmeng is not a girl: It's okay, I can wait.]

[Stranger: Hmm, it won't take too long.]

After closing the chat window, Lu Qing stood up from the wooden chair.

The reason Hao Meng was asked to wait a little longer was not because she wanted to take a closer look at the newly upgraded features of the cabin, but because she wanted to change her clothes.

After emerging from the dark forest, she had placed all the items she had obtained there in the cabinet in the hut. Now, the cabinet has disappeared, replaced by a wooden cabinet.

This must be the storage cabinet the cabin mentioned. Being able to summon it at any time gave Lu Qing some bold ideas.

She used to say that she was getting heavier and heavier, and she wasn't just making a casual comment. In fact, as she acquired more and more items, she had less and less room on her body.

It is foreseeable that as she acquires more items, she will inevitably face the issue of choosing which items to carry.

But with this storage locker that can be summoned at any time, things are different. She can keep important things on her person and put less important things in the locker, then summon them out at any time in her dreams.

"That's really great."

Thinking this, Lu Qing opened the storage cabinet and took out the silver-gray Evening Breeze.

First, put on the Silver Moon Wolf King Armor underneath, then put on the Silver Gray Evening Breeze, and finally put on the Agile Cloak over the Silver Gray Evening Breeze.

The Snow Princess's Love, the Hunter's Medal, the Ice Fairy's Blessing...

My sister's teddy bear was hanging on her left waist, while the Ring of Penetration and the Hallucinogenic Pipe were placed in the locker.

The Dark Dagger and the Holy Silver Dagger were hung on either side of his waist. The Ripper's Throwing Knife was placed in the throwing knife pouch on his thigh. The Hidden Blade and the Shadow Blade were also worn.

The White Wolf can also be hung on the waist, but this is on the lower back, so if you want to draw the gun, you have to reach your hand behind your back.

The alloy crossbow is hung on the right shoulder, and the Wind Elf Bow is slung over the body. As for Altaïr's sword... it's also hung on the right waist. It shouldn't affect drawing the dagger.

After fully donning her gear, Lu Qing looked down at herself, then glanced at the Ring of Penetration and the Hallucinogenic Pipe in her locker, feeling as if she'd wasted her locker...

P.S.: I, as an assassin, wear such thick clothing to prevent being too fragile and getting instantly killed. That makes perfect sense, right?

Fist sword, longsword, revolver—those are all spares, don't be afraid...

This ring, medallion, and necklace are really just decorations, believe me!

Teddy bears are just a personal hobby of mine!

Really!

Chapter 414: Duel on the Battlefield

[Game Start!]

[Matching dreams...]

[Dream matching complete, initiating teleportation!]

[Player Stranger has joined the game!]

[Player "Mengmeng is not a girl" has joined the game!]

[Player Gray Hamster Party has joined the game!]

[Player Pink Bell has joined the game!]

Welcome to the dream world. This dream is a two-player PvP dream, and the dream content is as follows.

[Dream Title: Duel on the Battlefield]

In military conflicts, morale is extremely important. When the strength of both sides is roughly equal, the side with higher morale is more likely to win the war.

This is a duel between your country and its enemy. Perhaps because this war concerns the life and death of the nation, neither side's generals immediately launched an attack, but instead gazed at each other in silence.

After the scouts from both sides exchanged information for a while, the generals decided to hold a duel on the battlefield, with three soldiers from each side fighting. The side that won all three battles would gain a huge morale boost!

[Main Objective: Win the duel!]

[Note: The background is just for fun; get back to the opposing player and have a good match!]

When Lu Qing opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was an endless expanse of soldiers, as well as two soldiers standing beside her.

One of the soldiers was wearing crimson armor, while the other...

Lu Qing's eyes twitched twice. The soldier was covered in heavy metal armor from head to toe. She held a huge square shield in her left hand, a longsword in her right hand, a warhammer at her waist, and a straight metal spear behind her.

"Wait, a shield, a longsword, a warhammer, a spear... no, no way..."

Lu Qing tapped the outer shell of the armor with her hand and whispered, "Are you Mengmeng?"

"Hmm." Hao Meng's voice came from under the armor, directly confirming her thoughts.

"Ugh... I thought my armor was thick enough, but I didn't expect someone to have even thicker armor than me..." Lu Qing thought to herself as she looked at Hao Meng's armor.

Turning her head, she saw a large group of soldiers standing behind the three of them with dignified expressions. Among them, the man who seemed to be a general was sitting on a warhorse. When he saw her turn around, he shifted his gaze to her.

Being stared at by tens of thousands of eyes was not a pleasant feeling, so Lu Qing silently looked away and then thought of a very serious question.

She could hardly stand so many stares, so what about Hao Meng?

"Mengmeng, are you alright?" Lu Qing asked softly.

"I'm fine." Hao Meng instantly knew what Lu Qing was worried about. She patted her breastplate forcefully and said, "When I'm protected by armor, I'm not afraid of anything!"

"So this armor also protects against social anxiety?" Lu Qing wondered to herself after hearing Hao Meng's words.

"Woo~"

A heavy bugle call sounded, and the ordinary soldier standing to Lu Qing's left suddenly spoke up: "The first match is about to begin. Which of you two will go up?"

"Why is it that we have to go first, instead of you?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

Her question received no response from the soldier. As if he hadn't heard her at all, the soldier continued, "Hurry up and decide. We must win this duel!"
