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

A smile appeared on Fang Qingrou's face as she said to Lu Qing:

"I really have to thank Xiaolu for this. You can keep the money. Even if you give it back to me, I won't accept it."

With a complicated expression, Lu Qing glanced at the girl standing close to her. She hadn't expected that the girl the original owner knew was actually a wealthy young woman.

"I don't want to try anymore," Lu Qing thought to herself.

Okay, just kidding.

"Alright, then I'll accept it." Lu Qing sighed, pretending to be nonchalant.

Just then, the timer I had set on my phone started beeping. Only then did Lu Qing remember that she was cooking noodles in a pot. She quickly went into the kitchen, lifted the lid, and then turned off the induction cooker.

Taking out a bowl, Lu Qing lifted the pot with one hand and poured the noodles into the bowl.

Lifting the pot was surprisingly easy, feeling no different from lifting a bottle of Sprite with one hand. Lu Qing clearly felt the convenience that the dream game brought her.

“Little Deer, you can be considered a Dreamcaller now, right?” Just then, Fang Qingrou, who was sitting at the table silently watching Lu Qing, spoke up.

"A dream summoner?" Lu Qing asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's just a name for players who awaken dreams, you can tell from the name, right?" Fang Qingrou rolled her eyes.

"Oh, I guess I guess I am," Lu Qing said after thinking for a moment.

She will indeed continue to enter the dream world in the future, and not just for the sake of making money.

The changes that the game "Dreamland" could bring made Lu Qing not want to stop at just making money. The stronger physical qualities and the extraordinary power she could use were truly fascinating.

Of course, besides these reasons, there is another reason: Lu Qing wants to know what her little house is all about.

If someone has such a special advantage as a small house and still doesn't work hard, then what's the difference between her being alive and being a salted fish?

"Um, would you like some?" Lu Qing asked the girl in front of her, somewhat awkwardly.

It was so embarrassing to have a beautiful girl watch me eat noodles, especially since she seemed to be watching so intently.

"No need, I ate before I left."

"Ok."

Left with no other choice, Lu Qing could only lower her head and eat her noodles, trying her best not to look at the girl in front of her.

For a moment, the only sound in the kitchen was the slurping of noodles being eaten.

"Hey, Little Deer, will you still want to enter the dream world in the future?" Fang Qingrou asked softly, looking at Lu Qing who was looking down.

Hearing the girl's words, Lu Qing stopped and nodded, saying, "Yes."

"Why? Being a Dream Summoner isn't easy. It's not only extremely arduous, but the penalties for failing a dream also increase as your level rises. Have you really thought this through?"

"Of course I've already thought it through. I already thought it through during that dream last time," Lu Qing said firmly.

"Okay, so what's your game ID, Little Deer? When I saw you weren't in my friends list, I tried adding you again, but I couldn't find you at all," Fang Qingrou said to Lu Qing with a resentful look.

After waking up from the dream, she immediately tried to contact Lu Qing, only to find that Lu Qing's name was not in her friends list.

She was startled and hurriedly left the dream to call the other party, but there was still no answer.

If it hadn't been late at night, and if she hadn't thought Lu Qing might be asleep, she would have already gotten dressed and come to find Lu Qing.

She spent the whole night lost in thought, and rushed over as soon as it got light. Who could know how excited she was when she received Lu Qing's call?

Chapter 43: Team Formation

Looking at the girl's resentful expression, Lu Qing felt a strange sense of embarrassment rise within her. She gently smoothed her hair and said:

“Foreigner, the foreigner of another world, the city-state of another city, and the person is an ordinary person.”

"Hey, does this ID have any special meaning?" Fang Qingrou asked curiously.

"No, I just think he's handsome," Lu Qing explained.

There was definitely something to it, but Lu Qing dared not say it aloud. If the girl in front of her knew that her best friend had unknowingly changed into someone else, who knows what would happen.

Fortunately, players need to create a game ID before entering the game, and once the game ID is approved, it cannot be changed. Before creating an official ID, the name will be a series of numbers issued by the system. Otherwise, if her game ID changes, Lu Qing would have no idea how to explain it.

"Am I handsome? I don't think so. But why did you delete me, Xiao Lu?"

"Didn't I already say that I deleted it by accident? Besides, I think the name is actually quite cool," Lu Qing said somewhat guiltily.

"Oh~"

Fang Qingrou seemed to understand something. Lu Qing had never wanted to enter the dream before. This time, she probably entered the dream because she saw that she had entered an abnormal state in her friends list and was worried about her, so she applied to enter.

It's worth mentioning here that when a friend is in a dream, the people in your friend list will be visible.

At this point, you can apply to the system to allow yourself to enter your friend's dream.

If a friend enters the dream, they will receive certain benefits, such as waking up the person trapped in the dream for a short time. In short, it will reduce the difficulty of the dream to some extent.

In the first dream, the reason why the original owner was pulled away by Anna was because Fang Qingrou had briefly woken up at that time.

"I guess she hesitated for a long time before entering the dream world, and finally made up her mind to come up with this ID. She was even shy about it." Fang Qingrou thought to herself as she looked at Lu Qing with a gentle expression.

"You really had a hard time with this dream," Fang Qing said softly.

"?"

Lu Qing looked at Fang Qingrou, whose attitude had suddenly changed, with a puzzled expression, completely unaware of what the other was thinking.

It's really baffling.

Suddenly, Fang Qingrou seemed to remember something and quickly said:

"By the way, Little Deer, are you going to participate in this official newcomer event? Our city is eligible to participate this time."

“Yes, I know, I’m ready to go in,” Lu Qing said.

There is no registration address for the event on the forum. In fact, if you want to participate in this event, you need to buy a ticket for Night City Dreamland from Artificial Dreamland.

Because it is an official event, the ticket price for this event is only one Dream Coin.

"Hmm, after spending all my Dream Coins this time, I'll only have two left," Lu Qing thought to herself.

Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, Fang Qingrou's eyes lit up. She stood up and grasped Lu Qing's hand, saying:

"In that case, let's team up!"

"Team up?"

"Yeah, let's team up. Even though your level is a bit low right now, your stats probably aren't great, and you don't have any powerful items, you still have me, right? If we team up, even if we don't get first place, getting into the top ten shouldn't be a problem!"

Lu Qing's lips twitched twice, and she roughly understood. It seemed that Fang Qingrou was also a Dream Summoner, with a level just below five, and could also participate in this newcomer event.

The original owner of this body didn't want to become a Dream Summoner, so she couldn't team up with Fang Qingrou. But things are different now. She has successfully experienced a dream and is now moving towards becoming a Dream Summoner.

She was also going to participate in this newcomer event, so Fang Qingrou, who was the original owner's best friend, naturally wanted to team up with her.

"but......."

Lu Qing looked at Fang Qingrou with a strange expression. The other party probably thought that she would be weaker because she had only experienced one dream, but in fact, she had two blue items.

As for forming a team, Lu Qing wasn't too opposed to it. Although they had only spent half an hour together, she had a very good impression of Fang Qingrou.

“There’s no problem with forming a team, but this official event doesn’t allow teams to enter together at the beginning, right?” Lu Qing said, recalling the content on the event forum.

“That’s right, so Xiao Lu, you have to be careful before you meet me, and don’t get bullied by those stinky men,” Fang Qingrou said.

"......"

"So, are we going to enter the dream world next?" Lu Qing asked.

"Um........"

After hearing Lu Qing's words, Fang Qingrou thought for a moment, then looked at Lu Qing and asked:

"Can you really fall asleep again after just waking up and eating?"

"......"

The Luqing has been successfully sunk!

Indeed, just as the other party said, it was completely impossible to get Lu Qing, who had just woken up and already eaten breakfast, to go back to sleep in a short period of time.

"Let's go shopping together. We can't exhaust ourselves before the event even starts. We can enter the game when we get back tonight," Fang Qingrou said, hugging and shaking Lu Qing's arm.

Feeling the soft touch on her arm, Lu Qing nodded in agreement.

Since there's nothing else to do, going out for a walk and coming back to play games when you're tired isn't a bad idea.

What's the point of playing games if not to make life better in real life? We can't forget about real life just for the sake of playing games.

And so, Lu Qing got dressed and went out of the house with Fang Qingrou, and strolled around the street.

The frenzied shopping scenes depicted in novels and anime did not materialize at all. Although the two bought some items, they were all small things and did not buy much.

The things she bought the most were actually street food. Lu Qing felt that she wouldn't need to eat dinner when she got home because she had already eaten her fill outside.

They played until after noon before leisurely returning to Lu Qing's home.

It was noon, the temperature outside was rising, and the two of them had just returned after a full meal, making it the perfect time for them to sleep.

The two girls lay together on one bed, slowly drifting off to sleep with soft breathing...

Welcome to the Dream Game!

As soon as Lu Qing returned to the cabin, she immediately noticed something was wrong.

The interior of the cabin was much larger, the oil lamp was brighter, and a window that appeared to be operable had appeared in front of the wooden table.

In addition, a full-length mirror appeared in the corner of the cabin, and a wooden door appeared on the other side of the wall.

Oh, and the blood and flesh crystals and ghost powder from Lu Qing's sacrifice are now hanging on the wall along with the Dream Coins, with a notice board below them.

Arriving at the notice board at the entrance of the cottage, Lu Qing looked at the cottage's attributes.

[House Level: 1]

Experience points: 10/300

Defense: 50

[Functional Buildings: Exquisite kerosene lamps, notebooks and quill pens, rough mirrors, and a rudimentary training ground.]
