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

Chapter 420: GTA ruined me!

"No." Lu Qing refused without hesitation.

The girl's voice sounded crisp and clear, which made even the night that thought his words were very appealing pause for a moment.

"Why not? If the information they see on the other side is similar to ours, then our preemptive strike could catch them off guard, making it easier for us to win this dream..."

"No, we're here to fight in PvP, not to rack up points," Lu Qing interrupted that night.

"fight?"

That night, he understood what Lu Qing meant, and a new explanation came to mind.

"You want to hone your combat skills, right? Actually, I think it's unnecessary to go through all that trouble. You can just use Dream Coins to upgrade your skills, can't you?"

"How do you get Dream Coins? You get them by winning PVP battles, so..."

“This guy is hopeless…” Lu Qing looked speechlessly at the young man who was talking nonsense with a straight face, and directly interrupted him, saying:

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to steal it in advance, then go by yourself. Mengmeng and I will go in when the exhibition officially starts tonight."

"Hey, why are you so stubborn, little sister? Listen to me, you'll definitely win!" That night, she said, sounding a bit annoyed.

Lu Qing rolled her eyes, no longer wanting to pay attention to the young man, so she began to look around the room and soon found a newspaper on a cabinet not far away.

Picking up the newspaper, the most prominent picture was of the tall building that Lu Qing had seen from the balcony earlier.

That night, seeing that Lu Qing ignored him, he shut his mouth. Let her do whatever she wants. Even if he had to force his way through with his own abilities, he was confident, but it just felt a bit troublesome.

As for actually letting him steal it alone?

Forget it. There are three people on the other side. He's not stupid. How could he go alone? If things go wrong, he'll be the one who suffers.

This player called "Stranger" and that "cute" (who isn't a girl) seem to be in cahoots. They seem quite confident in their abilities, so hopefully they won't hold him back.

"It's a bit unusual to see two female players teaming up for PvP. Speaking of which, why are female players dressed like that?" That night, he thought to himself as he looked at the armored figure sitting silently in front of him.

"Could this chocolate be a man...?" That night, my thoughts wandered.

Although the armored man did speak just now, it was only one sentence. What can one sentence prove? No!

Who says that just because someone has a girl's voice, they must be a girl? Otherwise, why would she be wearing a full suit of armor? Would a normal girl wear something like that?

Even if a girl likes armor, she shouldn't cover her face too. Either she's a man, or she's very ugly.

Speaking of that female player named "Stranger," although she's a bit stubborn, she's still quite cute...

"This should be the location of the exhibition."

With a "thud," a newspaper was thrown onto the table in front of him that night.

The sound startled him as he was lost in thought. He instinctively shuddered, but quickly snapped back to reality.

"Huh, what is that?"

That night, I looked at the newspaper on the table and saw news about the Hytras City Exhibition, along with pictures of tall buildings below the headlines.

“When I appeared on the balcony earlier, that tall building was right across from it,” Lu Qing said, sitting next to Hao Meng and pointing to the newspaper.

"The exhibition officially starts at seven o'clock tonight?" That night, he picked up the newspaper on the table and looked at the contents.

"Mm." Lu Qing nodded without saying anything more.

That night, he glanced at the alarm clock in his room and realized it was only nine in the morning, still a long time before the exhibition officially started. After thinking for a moment, he asked, somewhat unwilling to give up:

"Aren't you going to consider my plan?"

"I told you, if you want to steal it, go ahead. I'm not stopping you," Lu Qing said, waving her hand.

"........."

“Alright.” That Night seemed to have given up on persuading Lu Qing, and said, “I will act with you. I hope your strength can support your boastful words.” That Night put down the newspaper.

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the balcony, seemingly wanting to see the exact location of the exhibition building.

After a while, he came back and looked at Lu Qing, saying, "Do we need to draft a plan?"

"It's probably necessary," Lu Qing nodded.

She had actually thought about the plan from the beginning, although all they wanted to do was go in, beat up the other three players, and then take the artwork and run away.

But how to evade subsequent pursuit is indeed a problem. Generally speaking, criminals not only have to face superheroes (players), but also security guards.

There will definitely be a lot of security guards on site, as well as surveillance cameras. These two things are not a problem, since they intend to openly break in and rob the goods. The only problem is how to escape after they have looted.

They were unfamiliar with the city streets and had no means of escape, so where to run was indeed a problem.

What, you don't need a vehicle?

Well, although the three of them are physically very strong, compared to a vehicle, they are still... a tiny bit lacking.

A short-term burst of speed might be enough to cause a collision with a vehicle, but in the long run, Lu Qing's ability to run is fine, but Hao Meng and that night don't have that skill.

"We need a car, and then... we need to choose an escape route." After thinking for a long time, Lu Qing managed to come up with these two sentences.

"And then?" he pressed that night.

"........."

The two stared at each other, clearly unsure of what to do next.

“Um…” Hao Meng thought for a moment, then said, “I feel that we don’t need a vehicle. If we want to evade pursuit, alleys are actually better.”

“Vehicles can’t pass through narrow places, which makes us seem more agile. As long as we don’t get noticed by the surveillance cameras, we should be able to find a place to hide.”

"Oh right." Upon hearing Hao Meng's words, Lu Qing immediately realized what Hao Meng meant.

She's not playing GTA, so why does she have to drive away? If she just shakes off the pursuers and finds a secluded place to change her clothes, who would recognize the three of them?

Besides, she didn't even have a driver's license. She didn't know anything about that night, but even if the other person could drive, so what? Could it be that the other person's driving skills were better than those police officers in the police cars?

Moreover, driving makes such a big fuss and is so obvious. Isn't driving like that just asking for trouble?

GTA ruined my life!

Chapter 421: There's nothing that money can't solve.

The group discussed countermeasures for a long time in their hotel room. After predicting all possible scenarios, they came up with a general plan.

The exhibition started at 7 p.m., when it was quite dark, so the group could walk along a less crowded path to the exhibition.

As for the process of taking the artwork, there was no need to plan it. After all, the dream background said that it was to be taken openly and honestly, so what need was there for a plan?

All the men needed to worry about was how to escape after stealing the artwork.

The three decided to split up and run away from the enemy, then change their clothes and meet up at the same place.

As for the meeting place, it's definitely not this hotel. After all, the group stayed here and there must be a room booking record. Although it's unclear what the dream background the dream system prepared for the three of them is, it's always better to be cautious.

As for the meeting place, the three of them haven't decided yet. As for the city map, they can see it on their phones at the hotel.

That being said, it's still best to survey the terrain beforehand.

Since it's still early, everyone can go out and observe what the city streets are like.

However, there is a problem here: how are they supposed to go out dressed like this?

This is, after all, a dream set in a modern context. Given their current appearance, they would definitely turn heads if they went out. If they happened to run into another group of players who were also going out, they would probably be recognized at a glance.

"How about trying online shopping?" That night she suggested, "Just choose a nearby store to buy from, talk to customer service, and maybe it can be delivered in less than half an hour."

"How do you want to negotiate?" Lu Qing glanced at the store and thought to herself, how could she possibly encounter such a good store that would deliver the goods to her within half an hour?

Who would have thought that one mysterious smile that night would utter two words: "Add money."

"........."

Indeed, Lu Qing was too young and didn't think of the option of paying more money. All unreasonable demands are insignificant in the face of money.

Now that the plan had been proposed, the three of them immediately took out their phones and selected three sets of clothes online that suited their body types and aesthetic preferences.

Fortunately, there was a lot of money in the phone, a full 200,000 yuan. After Lu Qing added another 6,000 yuan, the other party said that it wouldn't take half an hour, but only ten minutes to deliver the clothes.

"Is this the power of money? I'm in love!"

Feeling a sense of wonder at this unprecedented experience, Lu Qing put her phone back on the table.

After thinking for a moment, she cut her left thumb with a knife and used the blood to summon Wayne.

"Shh, don't speak." As soon as she summoned Wayne, Lu Qing said to Wayne in her mind.

This is a new ability added to the birdcage in the cabin, allowing her and Wayne to communicate internally. This is Lu Qing's first time using this feature, and she finds it very convenient.

"Caw, caw, caw..." Just as Vein was about to speak, he heard Lu Qing's words and quickly turned what he wanted to say into a piercing bird cry, then flew to her shoulder.

“This is Wayne, my summoned creature. I can share vision with him,” Lu Qing said, stroking Wayne’s bird head a couple of times.

Seeing this, he didn't say anything that night.

"Go ahead, take a look around that building," Lu Qing said, pointing to the building in the distance.

"Gah, all you do is order the bird around," Vein complained to Lu Qing in his mind.

After he finished speaking, he flapped his wings and flew off the balcony. Lu Qing pretended not to hear his complaint and waited quietly.

A short while later, I received a call on my phone; the person who delivered the clothes had arrived.

“I’ll go get it,” he suggested, standing up from the sofa that night.

Of the three, he was dressed the most normally. Of course, "normal" is only relative, but it was still better than Lu Qing being covered in weapons or Hao Meng being in full armor.

To be fair, he looked quite handsome in his black tuxedo that night. It's a pity that Lu Qing isn't interested in men, and I wonder what kind of man Hao Meng likes.

The thought that her friends, whose sexual orientation is supposed to be normal, might end up in the arms of some man in the future made Lu Qing feel heartbroken.

........

About three minutes later, the person who went to get the clothes returned, carrying three bags, which, if nothing unexpected happened, should contain the clothes of the three of them.

Back in their respective rooms, Lu Qing locked the door and put on the clothes she had bought.
