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

[Card approved!]

[Please check the card's appearance!]

A blank card appeared on the notice board, and with a thought, the image on the notice board changed.

The card depicts a middle-aged man in a white suit with red stripes standing in the middle of a street, surrounded by a group of armored soldiers wielding weapons.

However, there was no sign of panic on the middle-aged man's face. He stretched out a hand, caught the feather falling from the sky, and a smile appeared on his lips.

[Card design confirmed, currently being generated...]

[Quality: Blue]

[Strength: 20%]

Agility: 30%

[Physical fitness: 20%]

[Mental state: 10%]

[Fusion: 10%]

[Note: Fusion level refers to the current degree of fusion between you and the card. The level of fusion will determine the quality and number of card character skills you can unlock, the time it takes to fully activate the card, and the number of item blueprints you can obtain.]

[Skills: Basic Climbing (White), Basic Assassination (White), Basic Concealment (White), Low-Level Eagle Eye (White)]

[Special Skill: Fully Activated]

[Full Activation: This will change the player's appearance and unlock all of the card character's skills for a short period, while also providing attribute bonuses. The current skill duration is 5 minutes, and the cooldown is 24 hours.]

[Props Design: Hidden Blade]

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

P.S.: I stayed up all night to finish writing this chapter. Chapter 2 will be updated tonight.

By the way, this book is categorized under games, right? I shouldn't have any problem writing about Assassin's Creed.

Readers who haven't played Assassin's Creed before can rest assured that there won't be any obstacles; it will simply give the protagonist a few more skills and equipment.

I'm off to bed.

Chapter 40: Official Activities

Each player can only use one card in the card slot at a time.

When using a card in the card slot, the player will gain the skill provided by the card.

The upper limit of a skill depends on the card's own attributes, while increasing the fusion level can increase the number and quality of skills provided by the card, as well as the time it takes for the card to be fully activated.

After full activation, the player's appearance will change for a short period of time, while also increasing their attributes.

The amplification is clearly stated on the card's attributes, but it's important to note that increasing the fusion level does not increase the attribute bonus.

In any case, with Lu Qing's current 10% fusion level, full activation would only allow her to use it for five minutes, with a cooldown time of twenty-four hours.

As for the blueprints for props, they are, as the name suggests, the blueprints for the special props that the card characters possess.

Players can use blueprints to create their own game items, provided that the items they create pass the system's review.

Currently, she only has a design blueprint for the hidden blade, which has automatically appeared on the wooden table in the cabin, with detailed data drawn on it.

However, even if she had the design, Lu Qing wouldn't be able to manufacture it because she simply didn't know how. She could only try to commission an NPC in her dream or find a player on the forum to make it for her later.

Upon opening the character panel, sure enough, the Fiorentina Eagle card had been successfully installed in the card slot section, although it was currently inactive.

With a thought, the card was activated, and Lu Qing couldn't help but shudder, her ten fingers moving nimbly.

[You have used the card "Eagle of Florence" and gained the temporary skills Basic Climb (White), Basic Assassination (White), Basic Concealment (White), and Low-level Eagle Eye (White)]

The notice board displayed the information as such, but to be honest, apart from the initial moment of activation, Lu Qing didn't feel anything else.

"The skills attached to the cards feel different from the skills I learn myself," Lu Qing thought.

Skills learned through hard work will eventually form muscle memory and brain memory, but frankly, Lu Qing didn't feel any brain memory of the skills granted by cards.

If you want to use it, you can just use it based on your feeling.

For example, Eagle Eye. Lu Qing was currently using a low-level Eagle Eye to scan her room.

With her vision clearing up considerably, the once dimly lit little house became bright in Lu Qing's view.

"Everything that needed to be done has been mostly taken care of..."

After thinking carefully for a while, Lu Qing finally remembered what she needed to do next.

Opening the game forum, Lu Qing found the message she had seen on a poster on the wall of an internet cafe before.

[A mysterious city at night, a large-scale, multiplayer, gray-level four-star special dreamscape. Any newcomer below level 5 can choose to participate. The winner will receive 200,000 yuan in cash and a mystery grand prize package!]

This was a post from the official game account on the game forum. Lu Qing glanced at it and discovered that the official game account had over 3 billion followers.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, everyone in the world needs to sleep, and as long as they sleep, they will enter the game.

Excluding minors who cannot access the game, elderly people, and those who neither want to enter the dream world to wake others nor are interested in the official team, it's quite alarming that so many people are paying attention.

Putting her thoughts aside, Lu Qing silently opened the post.

No one knows the true identity of the game's official team, and there is no way that a game company called Dream Game could exist in reality.

There is indeed such an official account on the forum, which occasionally posts some activities or notices.

As for this newcomer competition, judging from the release date, it seems to have been a week ago, and only certain special regions can access the game.

Lu Qing's place just happened to be in a location that allowed her to participate in this event; otherwise, the internet cafe near her home wouldn't have put up posters for the game event on the wall.

There is no limit to the number of participants, but the number of people who have registered so far is not displayed, and not much specific information has been revealed.

It simply stated that this event was a competition for newcomers, and the rewards that the top ten would receive.

Furthermore, this event will be broadcast live throughout, and it is expected that many people will watch it once it begins.

As for the start time...

After glancing at the date and carefully checking it, Lu Qing discovered that the event was scheduled to start at noon the next day.

As for the current time, it is four in the morning. Counting from the time she entered the game, one day in the dream is roughly equivalent to one hour in reality.

However, the flow of time resumed the moment I returned to the hall, and I don't know why.

Scroll down further, and you'll find a bunch of comments from players.

[Laughable Pigeon: Shedding tears of envy, I just passed level 5...]

[I know you're pretty good: Newcomer event? Live streamed the whole thing? That's impressive.]

[I love white flowers: I wonder if any pretty girls will be able to watch this? Looking forward to it. Drooling.jpg]

[Take this slide tackle: I've already signed up, hehehe.]

[Shrimp Shell: A large-scale multiplayer gray four-star dream? Besides fighting against other players, this dream probably also has a series of tasks. I have a bold guess that in the end, no single player might be able to successfully complete the dream. After all, trying to handle a gray four-star dream at level five is quite difficult, and it might require several players to cooperate.]

[I'm just Jingjing: Wow, it's the big boss from Shrimp Shell! Let me pat the boss's butt.]

[I like sleeping naked: Shrimp Shell is right, but getting players to cooperate in PvP dungeons is really unlikely. If you can get first place, who would want to get second?]

........

After reading a few more comments and finding nothing worth reading, Lu Qing closed the forum.

However, before closing the forum, Lu Qing deliberately clicked on the personal homepage of a player named Shrimp Shell.

To Lu Qing's surprise, this "Shrimp Shell" was actually a player with a purple-level nickname, and his homepage also featured a large number of game videos.

The number of followers is over 14.5 million, which is truly terrifying.

Silently noting down the player's name, Lu Qing opened the interface of her own house.

There was no change from before, which disappointed Lu Qing. She had thought that the experience points in the cabin might increase after the dream ended, but there was no change at all.

"Hey, wait."

Just as Lu Qing was about to leave the notice board, she suddenly noticed that a small plus sign had appeared after the experience points for the house's attributes!

"Could this be...?"

Feeling quite excited, Lu Qing quickly patted her chest and then pointed her finger at the plus sign...

Chapter 41: Upgrading the Cabin

The moment Lu Qing's finger touched the plus sign, the entire notice board suddenly became blurry.

After a short wait, once the notice board was restored, a line of text appeared.

Currently available sacrifice items are: Flesh Crystal, Ghost Powder, and Dream Coins.

"Dream Coins?"

Lu Qing stared blankly at the pop-up message box. She could understand the flesh crystals and ghost powder, but why could Dream Coins also be sacrificed?

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Lu Qing glanced at her remaining four Dream Coins, hesitated for a moment, and then tapped her finger on the Dream Coins.

[Sacrifice Dream Coins, House Experience Points +30]

A light suddenly flashed inside the cabin, and the moment Lu Qing saw the light, she focused her attention on the place where it appeared.

The next moment, a pale purple dream coin was hung on the wall, and below the dream coin, a wooden plaque appeared.

Upon closer inspection, the wooden sign contained the following information:
