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

Upon reaching the center of the spring, the warm sunlight bathed his body, calming him considerably.

According to the priest, Ryder slowly closed his eyes, his heart at peace.

At the same time, Lu Qing noticed that some patterns beneath the altar spring had lit up, and incredibly dense light elements filled the area around Ryderman.

"........."

Lu Qing suddenly felt like running away.

Although from a physical sensory perspective, I don't have any aversion to these light elements.

However, she always felt that the nightmare energy within her might have some indescribable reaction with these light elements.

Even if the Nightmare Energy is fine, what about the Black Rose Vampire?

Lu Qing resisted the urge to run away immediately, and then carefully looked at her skill panel.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he would not have the [Light Fearer] skill when he was not in the form of the Black Rose Vampire.

Come to think of it, the dream system must know her situation, so why would it create such a ridiculous plot?

After all, if she doesn't accept the psychic ritual, it's uncertain whether her psychic abilities will still be able to manifest.

........

While Lu Qing was thinking about these things, on the other side, Ryderman's ritual was also in its final stage.

Lu Qing felt a strange fluctuation emanate from Ryderman's body, and then the light element runes below the altar stopped flashing.

The man in white nodded, then looked at Ryder and said slowly, "Those who have received the blessing of the Sacred Tree, come behind me. Those who haven't received the blessing of the Sacred Tree, I will tell them which way to go."

Ryder paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and couldn't help but smile happily. He then strode up behind the man in the white robe.

“Next, Muir.”

"Huh? I'm the second one?" Muir looked a little surprised before stepping out from the crowd.

Judging from his clothing, Muir's identity in this dream should not be that of a nobleman; he looks more like a thief.

The outer layer was a gray cloak, and the inner layer was a set of somewhat worn leather armor, including a leather jacket, wrist guards, leg guards, and boots. The innermost layer was a simple light gray cloth shirt and trousers.

In addition, there was a long wooden box hanging behind her, the contents of which were unknown.

Lu Qing could guess that it probably contained Muir's electromagnetic sniper rifle.

Upon seeing Muir appear, most of the people present couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Is she a thief? This is the first time I've ever seen one."

"You should at least change into formal attire for the spirit communication ceremony."

"She's not carrying any weapons, is she?"

"Although... she's so beautiful..."

........

Hearing the whispers behind her, Muir's face showed a hint of helplessness. Then, she turned around fiercely and glared at those who were talking badly about her, scaring them into shutting up.

In this dream world, she is an orphan who has lived in the royal city since childhood. She relied on begging to survive until she was ten years old, started looking for work at eleven, and began stealing after she turned twelve.

He joined the Thieves' Guild at the age of fifteen and worked there for three years, but didn't achieve anything by the time he turned eighteen.

She looks much better now; when she first arrived, she was filthy and didn't have much money.

Muir can control ghosts, but ghosts can't help her steal things. Where is she going to get enough money to buy a formal suit in a day?

Even if you have money, a tailor shop can't sew anything in a day.

She could just buy it ready-made, but she didn't have the money!

As for wearing ordinary civilian clothes, like plain clothes and trousers...

It wasn't that she didn't want to wear clothes, but the place she lived in had a very low safety level, and she felt unsafe to go out without wearing more clothes.

She dared not leave her sniper rifle at home, otherwise it would be truly broken if it were stolen when she returned.

"Just like before, walk over there, close your eyes, and don't think about anything." The man in the white robe glanced at Muir, his voice softening considerably.

If it weren't for the pressure of making a living, who would willingly become a thief?

The man in the white robe had reviewed the information of all applicants, and he treated everyone equally as long as they were not rejected by him.

As for what's in the box behind Muir, who cares? The Pope, the strongest force in the Papacy, is standing right here. Anyone who wants to cause trouble should think twice about their own strength!

"Ah."

Muir nodded, feeling a slight sense of relief.

She had already prepared to hand over the box, but unexpectedly they just let her pass.

Following the white marble path to the center of the altar, Muir closed his eyes and gradually calmed down under the sunlight shining from the dome.

The next moment, a strange fluctuation emerged from her body.

Congratulations on acquiring the skill [Shadow Mastery]!

Shadow Mastery: Controlling the power of shadow.

The prompt from the dream game rang in his mind. Muir glanced at the description of the awakened skill and was somewhat at a loss.

This skill description seems to say nothing at all, and it's quite different from the skills she's mastered before.

However, she did feel a strange power surging within her, but she didn't know how to use it.

"Congratulations, you can come to my side now." Just then, the man in the white robe looked at her and said.

"Oh...oh!" Muir seemed a little absent-minded, then suddenly realized what he meant and quickly nodded, "Okay."

PS: [Shadow Mastery] is the initial skill of the extraordinary sequence that Muir will soon obtain. I came up with four such skills in total, and they would all be good no matter which protagonist it is.

That's why I had you vote on your identity before.

The following are the skills that Fang Qingrou and Hao Meng acquired.

Fang Qingrou – Hunter: [Wind Spirit Walker: One with the wind, mastering its mysteries.]

Hao Meng – Knight: [Weapon Mastery: Able to quickly master the power of any weapon.]

------------

Chapter 465: This hopeless world can only be saved by this princess!

“Next…” The man in the white robe looked at the list in his hand and suddenly paused.

Since Muir, dozens of young people have performed spirit communication rituals, but only three of them have received the blessing of the sacred tree.

The success rate is obviously quite low, and it's unclear what specific skills are acquired. No wonder that after so many years, there aren't many people with psychic abilities.

As she was thinking this, Lu Qing heard the man in the white robe call her name.

"Next... Princess Lu Qing."

The man in the white robe hesitated slightly before calling her, probably wondering how best to address her.

Lu Qing didn't seem to care much about this. She nodded and walked towards the center of the spring.

The sunshine here is abundant, as if it possesses some special power that makes people unable to help but relax, and any negative emotions will disappear from their hearts.

With this feeling, Lu Qing quickly emptied her mind, and a special power surged from her body.

Congratulations on acquiring the skill [Spirit Communication]!

[Spiritual communication: The ability to communicate with spirits and utilize their power.]

[Error! It has been detected that you already possess the extraordinary sequence [Nightmare]!]

[Warning: Each player can only master one extraordinary sequence!]

[Note: Each player can only master one extraordinary sequence, but players can choose to consume newly acquired extraordinary sequences to randomly generate special skills.]

[Randomly generated special skills have both advantages and disadvantages; players should choose carefully!]

To remove a special skill, players can do so after the dream ends by paying a certain amount of Dream Coins (based on the skill's effect) through the skill panel.

[Note: Special skills can only be deleted after the current dream ends. If you exit the dream game, the skills cannot be deleted.]

"This is actually a new extraordinary sequence?" Lu Qing thought with some surprise as she looked at the words frantically appearing on the diary.

She had thought that extraordinary sequences wouldn't appear in the dream world of the white three-star character, but she didn't expect to get one on the very second day.

Moreover, it's not difficult to obtain; it's practically free.

Is this the benefit of entering the dream world through props?

Do you even understand the significance of special dreams?

For some reason, a sentence suddenly popped into Lu Qing's mind.

"........."

Shaking her head, Lu Qing didn't decide whether to fuse the skills for a moment, but instead turned her gaze to the white-robed man in the distance.

The other party looked at Lu Qing and simply nodded, indicating that she had successfully obtained the blessing of the sacred tree.

"I haven't even fused any skills yet, can this be considered a success?" Lu Qing walked behind the white-robed man, thinking thoughtfully.

[Lu Qing was right. The white-robed man's criterion for judging whether someone had received the Holy Tree's blessing was the energy fluctuation that appeared the moment the Holy Tree bestowed the skill.]

The blessing of the sacred tree is not merely a matter of faith, but a fact!

Meanwhile, Lu Qing also noticed something else.

The system of the dream game seems to possess the ability to erase a player's skills. Such an ability is truly terrifying; just thinking about it sends chills down one's spine.

But couldn't help but wonder if there was another possibility.

"Special skills can only be deleted after this dream ends. If you exit the dream game, the skills cannot be deleted."

This statement is quite puzzling: why can't skills be deleted after returning to reality?

[Considering that the attribute boosts only apply to your body when you return to reality after allocating points, you can't help but ponder.]

[Does this special skill only amplify upon returning to the real world, so the dream game can eliminate it before it's amplified?]

In other words, the dream game doesn't actually have a way to eliminate skills, or eliminating skills isn't a simple matter.
