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

There were no plants in the cabin, so even if Lu Qing wanted to experiment with the effects of [Whispering Heart], she couldn't find a suitable subject. Therefore, she had to put the matter aside and try it again when she had the chance later.

After leaving the trophy room, she went to the newly added dressing room in the cabin.

The previous dressing table has also been moved to this dressing room, which seems to be to integrate the functions.

The mirror on the dressing table was not removed, but it lost its ability to check for abnormalities. In its place was a square floor mirror in the corner of the room.

The full-length mirror is surrounded by silver-white stone blocks, the material of which is indiscernible, but it feels somewhat like marble to the touch.

Next to the dressing table was a wardrobe with its surface evenly coated with wood wax.

This must be the new function that the changing room has. Thinking this, Lu Qing walked to the wardrobe and reached out to open the wardrobe door.

In an instant, a dark and cold aura enveloped her, and Lu Qing felt a tremendous force before she was pulled into the wardrobe.

Endless shadows entangled and twisted, emitting bursts of howls, before forming a peculiar space.

As the shadows faded, Lu Qing found herself in a dark stone corridor.

"call!"

Suddenly, blazing flames rose from the walls on both sides of the stone corridor, and torches were lit one after another, illuminating the entire corridor.

Where am I?

After a moment's recollection, Lu Qing remembered that she had been pulled inside by the wardrobe.

Turning around, she saw a wooden door behind her. For some reason, she felt that if she walked out of that door, she could leave this place.

This place should also be part of the cabin. Thinking of this, Lu Qing's originally tense mood gradually relaxed.

Walking along the corridor, soon two statues appeared on either side of the wall.

The statue on the left is of a little girl who looks about 80% like Lu Qing, and is holding a worn-out teddy bear in her arms.

That's right, this is what my sister looked like in the dark forest!

Suppressing her surprise, Lu Qing looked at the statue on her right again.

The figure on the right side of the statue is still a young girl, wearing a light blue mage's robe and holding a thick book. The cover of the book is decorated with a six-pointed star magic circle, and in the center of the magic circle is an eye symbol.

In addition to the book cover, the eye symbol also appears on the hem of the mage's robe and on the pattern of the pointed magic hat.

The road ahead seems to have reached a dead end; if one insists on continuing, they will be blocked by an invisible wall of air.

"So the key point is these two statues?"

Lu Qing looked at the stone tablet below the statue on the right, and saw the following text engraved on it.

[Merry Paulison Ella]

[Merry Polshsen Ella, founder of the Eye of Analysis, was the first human to dare challenge divine authority. Born into humble circumstances, she was the daughter of a peasant. When she was 15, her village was ravaged by plague, and many villagers died.]

[Among them, Melie's father unfortunately contracted the plague and died. Organized by the remaining survivors of the village, they decided to seek refuge in the nearest town.]

However, the town's lord refused all refugees who had come due to the plague, arguing that it was to prevent the spread of the disease. This approach was perfectly reasonable, but for the suffering refugees, it was nothing short of a judgment from hell.

Large numbers of refugees rebelled and rioted. Hunger and the rampant plague in the refugee camps fueled their anger. One night, hordes of refugees attempted to storm the town, but were forcibly suppressed by the lord's army. In the ensuing chaos, Melie's mother tragically died.

The successive deaths of her parents deeply affected young Mary. She hated her own weakness and felt profoundly insignificant and powerless. Yet, despite this hatred and sorrow, even the simple question of how to continue living was a problem for the frail young girl.

The lord's guards' blockade meant she couldn't enter the town; sitting idly by meant only starvation. To survive, Melie stole from a scoundrel in the refugee camp who used his strength to rob others of their food, but the successful theft led to even bigger trouble.

[A refugee, enraged by the theft of his food, attacks other weaker refugees. A girl, feeling guilty, intervenes but is outmatched and defeated....]

[Unlock Fee: 800 Dream Coins]

"Eight hundred?"

Lu Qing was engrossed in reading and very curious about what would happen next, so much so that she forgot about the wardrobe in the cabin. Unexpectedly, a message popped up offering 800 Dream Coins.

The feeling of a story abruptly ending halfway through is truly... utterly disheartening...

However, Lu Qing couldn't possibly waste 800 Dream Coins just for a story, especially since she didn't even have 800 Dream Coins.

Of course, Lu Qing also knew that this thing that cost 800 Dream Coins to unlock was definitely not just a story, and she should be able to gain some benefits from it. But the problem now was that she didn't have those 800 Dream Coins, so she could forget about it.

"This stone tablet must tell the story of the statue's owner, but what about the statue of the younger sister on the left?"

Lu Qing looked curiously at the stone tablet below her sister's statue.

[Sister and Bear Doll]

[The weakened soul was severely injured by the jet-black bird feathers and fell into a deep sleep. Another consciousness awakened within its body, and the two souls began to gradually merge, while the sleeping consciousness grew weaker and weaker.]

[A dark forest, an eerie wooden cabin, concealing the mother's secrets; a clash between consciousnesses, the defeat, and then merging into one; in the final moments before consciousness completely vanishes, the consciousness is captured by the cabin.]

Unlocking Fee: None

"So it really is the original owner?"

With a complicated expression, Lu Qing glanced at the statue in front of her. After hesitating for only a moment, she placed her palm on the groove beneath the statue.

"Who told me to be so kind?" Lu Qing muttered to herself.

"Rumble..."

The statue trembled violently, and after a short while, a phantom figure appeared in front of Lu Qing.

The little sister was floating in front of her, holding a tattered teddy bear, looking like a ghost.

No, perhaps this is what a ghost is...

Lu Qing stared at her younger sister for a while and realized that the other sister did not seem to be waking up anytime soon.

The statue on the other side can't be unlocked either, so it seems I have no choice but to leave.

At first, she was wondering how to take her younger sister with her, but after taking a couple of steps, she found that her sister would float behind her automatically, so she felt relieved.

Passing through the wooden door of the stone corridor, accompanied by a shadowy entanglement and groans, Lu Qing returned to the dressing room.

"Um, coming out of the closet feels really strange," she muttered to herself, glancing back at the closed closet door.

"Did I change my clothes when I came out of the closet?" Lu Qing suddenly wondered. She went to the full-length mirror and was surprised to find that the mirror also reflected her younger sister floating behind her.

What surprised Lu Qing the most was the text on her own head and her sister's head reflected in the mirror.

[Subject: None]

Chapter 437: Advanced Training

【Title: My Sister and the Teddy Bear】

[Decoration: Floating Spirit]

[Synopsis: The Little Sister and the Teddy Bear are spiritual entities constructed from consciousness. They have no soul or physical body, yet they remain in the world, capable of thought and influencing the real world.]

In addition, the teddy bear harbors the power of shadow within it, capable of unleashing special shadow magic.

[Skills: Spirit Form, Possession, Mental Shock, Shadow Binding, Shadow Ripple, Abyss Gate.]

[Spiritual Being: The sister and the teddy bear are undetectable by ordinary creatures, and are also unimpeded by solid objects without supernatural properties.]

[Possession: The younger sister and her teddy bear can possess objects, manipulating them by consuming mental energy. The more complex the object, the more mental energy is required.]

Shadow Binding: Uses the power of shadow to imprison the target.

[Mental Shock: Releases a mental shock on a designated target or indiscriminately, causing mental shock to the hit target.]

[Shadow Ripple: Through energy fluctuations in the Shadow Realm, the sister and her teddy bear can detect targets moving in the shadows.]

[Gateway to the Abyss: The younger sister summons the Gate to the Abyss by sacrificing her own heart, randomly releasing gifts from the abyss.]

[Note: Unlike ordinary decorations, the little sister and her teddy bear possess their own intelligence, so remember to get along well with her!]

When Lu Qing focused her attention on the text above her sister's head, a long text description was displayed in front of her.

"Should we get along well?"

Looking at her still unconscious sister with a bit of a headache, Lu Qing felt that getting along well with her sister probably wouldn't be so smooth.

But since she was kind-hearted, she activated her sister's statue without hesitation.

As for how to get along, let's wait until she wakes up before discussing it. Lu Qing plans to go to the training room to take a look.

In addition, what is the meaning of the newly added spectator mode in the diary?

Taking out her diary, Lu Qing went to the Headless Horseman to experiment as usual. She discovered that in spectator mode, she had become a spirit-like being, able to move freely around her.

However, the distance it moved was not very far. According to the test, it was about 300 meters in radius around the main body.

Within these 300 meters, Lu Qing can see what is happening around her, which is a pretty good feature, but for now, it's not of any use to her.

After exiting the diary's backtracking function, Lu Qing went to the training room in the cabin.

[Free Free Training]

[Basic Training (10 Dream Coins)]

Intermediate Training (30 Dream Coins)

[Advanced Training (100 Dream Coins)]

[Ultimate Training (Unlocked)]

[Advanced Training: Once activated, players will enter a completely virtual space where they will train by completing various scenarios. When using advanced training, training efficiency increases by 100%!]

"One hundred Dream Coins!"

Lu Qing stared at the cost displayed after the advanced training as if she were having trouble breathing, never expecting it to be so expensive!

She only received 500 Dream Coins after completing this Abyss Dream. If she used all of these Dream Coins for training, she could only train five times!

"How about we make do with intermediate training instead...?"

Lu Qing looked at her wallet with some embarrassment, then glanced at her character attributes. The skills listed there now seemed like babies desperately seeking milk, wailing and crying for the support of this single mother…

So why is she a single mother? If her skill is raising children, then who is the father of those children?

Lu Qing couldn't help but let her thoughts wander, and the images of Fang Qingrou, Mu Er, and Hao Meng appeared in her mind.

"What am I thinking..." Speechless, Lu Qing pulled herself out of her thoughts and decided to experience the effects of advanced training before deciding how to train her skills.
