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

It was indeed his fault, which is why he was so nervous.

Demotion or dismissal would be the best-case scenario; if someone were to be sentenced for this...

The captain of the guard became increasingly frightened. Fortunately, the princess was unharmed; otherwise, he would have faced certain death.

"Can you find out who these people are?" Lu Qing looked at the somewhat frightened captain of the guard team, but she didn't mean to blame him.

Firstly, because she wasn't quite used to being a princess, and secondly, because she felt it was pointless to criticize the other party at this time.

As for the third point, she is not the king, and it is not her place to decide on punishments.

Moreover, these attackers weren't very strong; she and Muir took them all down in just two minutes.

Of course, they didn't kill him, they just knocked him unconscious. After all, you can't get anything from a dead person, so you have to leave some alive for questioning.

"Hmm... who sent these people?" Lu Qing pondered as she watched the figures who had attacked her being tied up and taken away by the guards.

Let's go back ten minutes.

"Hey you little thief over there, who gave you permission to enter the manor?" A somewhat arrogant male voice came from beside Lu Qing and Muir.

"Who is it that slapped me in the face right after I finished speaking?"

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Qing immediately frowned and turned to look in the direction from which it came.

A man dressed in a deep red nobleman's robe strolled over, followed by six servants.

Lu Qing glanced at Muir, signaling her not to speak yet, then stepped forward and said, "She is my guest, not some petty thief."

"Excuse me, so you are Her Highness's guest. I was wondering why the guards let her in."

"However, take my advice, Your Highness. Given your noble status, it would be best if you avoided associating with disreputable people."

"..." Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, not expecting the man in front of her to say something so classic.

Is this the logic of the dream world? If this is not a special dream but a dream that someone falls into while asleep, then this person must experience it frequently.

But this is a special dream, and such illogical things shouldn't happen normally.

So there must be a reason why the other party came here and acted so sarcastically, and that reason is enough to make them not give up even if they know that she is a princess.

"You don't need to worry about my friendships. Instead of caring about others, you should pay more attention to your own words and actions."

“It’s not a gentleman’s thing to speak ill of one of the ladies in front of them,” Lu Qing said with a somewhat irritating fake smile.

Since she knew the other party had no good intentions, she decided not to pretend anymore.

When it comes to being disgusting, she was quite skilled at it, having frequented online forums before her time travel.

As soon as she finished speaking, Muir seemed to notice something and immediately looked at the servants behind her, asking, "What are you doing?"

Muir noticed something was amiss; the servants seemed to have been fiddling with something behind her since earlier, and at the same time, she smelled a slightly pungent odor in the air.

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants' expressions changed. They then stopped pretending and threw the gas canisters they were holding onto the ground, smashing them to pieces.

In an instant, a large amount of pale purple poisonous gas filled the area around Lu Qing and Muir, obscuring their vision.

"It's poison gas, Muir, are you alright?"

Lu Qing glanced at Muir with some worry, wondering if she had any way to deal with the poison gas.

As for herself, she had nothing to worry about, as the poison gas had no effect on her due to her [Advanced Poison Resistance].

"I'm fine." Muir shook his head, and as he spoke, he pulled out a gas mask from somewhere and put it on.

【Item Name: Ili Sodium Gas Mask】

[Item Quality: Blue]

[Description: This gas mask, produced by the Yili Sodium Weapon Shop, has an extremely strong air filtration effect.]

In this wasteland littered with radiation from nuclear war, a complete set of radiation protection gear is essential, and the radiation protection suits produced by the Yili Sodium Weapon Shop are an excellent choice.

[Skill: Advanced filtration, durable]

[Note: Take a deep breath. Don't be afraid. At least for now, there's no poisonous gas to bother you.]

These are items that Muir obtained in the previous dream world. Actually, she had a whole set, but she couldn't take them all with her.

Considering that poison gas is indeed a relatively common occurrence, she took off the gas mask and took it with her.

As for the lifespan...

This thing has become a game item. It will become brand new once the dream ends, so as long as you don't stay in the dream world for several years, you don't need to worry about its lifespan.

"Ok?"

Lu Qing suddenly felt a gust of wind from a punch coming towards her, and instinctively reached out and grabbed the other person's wrist.

Looking across at the other side, she realized that the man who had punched her was the one in the red nobleman's robe. He was expressionless now, completely different from his previous demeanor.

Seeing that his wrist had been grabbed, the other party immediately struggled to break free, and then turned his five fingers into sharp claws to grab Lu Qing's chest.

"Hey~ you pervert." Lu Qing cursed inwardly, then immediately dodged the attack.

She didn't rush to draw her weapon, but instead fought back with her fists and feet.

With the [Florence Eagle] card's [Advanced Combat] skill, she was able to hold her own against her opponent.

At the same time, two eerie blue figures emerged from the poisonous gas, accompanied by several shrill screams. Muir slowly put on a pair of high-tech orange goggles.

[Item Name: Vault 33 Tactical Goggles]

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

Chapter 472: Hmph, this weakling dares to assassinate me?

[Item Name: Vault 33 Tactical Goggles]

[Item Quality: Blue]

[Description: Tactical goggles from Vault 33, featuring built-in weak artificial intelligence that can guide the user in shooting, and capable of calculating wind speed, humidity, local radiation levels, and night vision thermal imaging.]

Considering the time required for outdoor exploration, the goggles' battery life is sufficient to sustain them for up to six months. If necessary, they can be powered by solar energy.

[Skills: Clear vision, robust and durable, low power consumption, fast calculation]

[Note: However, these goggles won't make you a sharpshooter.]

Put on the goggles and activate them. Without Muir saying a word, the goggles automatically activated their thermal imaging function in the toxic gas-filled environment, revealing the servants hiding inside the gas.

Knowing the location made things much easier. Muir simply had Little Blue pick up her knife and float towards the other side.

"What is that!?"

Xiao Lan approached a servant from behind. The servant seemed to sense something was wrong and turned around to see a dark blue butcher's knife aimed at his neck.

"!!"

The opponent stared in horror at the butcher's knife hurtling towards him, realizing that he couldn't possibly dodge the attack with his speed.

There was no other way but to use the ultimate move!

Gritting his teeth, the servant unleashed a strange power that deflected Xiao Lan's butcher's knife.

However, before he could make any move to retaliate, a strong and powerful ghost bull rammed into his rear, sending him flying.

“Hmm…” Muir looked at his unconscious servant, blood still flowing from his buttocks, and glanced at the ghost bull's horns with some disgust, saying:

"Xiao Zhuang, could you please not bump into those kinds of places next time?"

"Moo~" The Ghost Bull let out a soft moan and nodded. Although it didn't know why Muir wouldn't let it crash into the enemy's lower body, it agreed because it was its master's order.

Meanwhile, Lu Qing activated Eagle Eye to check on the others in the smoke. After seeing that Muir had almost finished off the enemies, she decided to stop playing.

The [Advanced Combat] skill provided by the [Eagle of Florence] card is only a blue-quality skill. Although Lu Qing was able to fight with ease thanks to her physical advantages, it would still take a lot of time to defeat the opponent using this skill.

After all... a fist is ultimately less powerful than a weapon.

The person in front of her was of unknown origin. Although he wasn't very strong, he was incredibly tough. Lu Qing had punched him many times, but she still couldn't knock him to the ground.

She was afraid of killing the other person if she used weapons, so she had to use methods other than fists.

"call........"

Lu Qing inhaled a large amount of poisonous gas, raised her neck, and roared out like a giant dragon.

"Roar!!"

A tremendous roar erupted from within the castle estate, and some of the animals that were closer to the castle were so frightened by the roar that they lay prostrate on the ground, completely too afraid to move.

"Huh!?" The sound seemed to explode in his ear, startling the captain of the guard team, as if he had heard the roar of some powerful monster.

Immediately after that, he realized something was wrong and quickly led his nearby men toward the direction from which the sound came.

Meanwhile, Lu Qing's roar dispersed a large amount of poisonous gas, and the red-clad man who had taken the direct hit of Lu Qing's "Dragon's Roar" was now nearly unconscious with his eyes rolling back.

Seeing this, Lu Qing didn't hold back. She took a step forward and punched the man hard in the face, sending him flying to the ground.

"He's already passed out?" Lu Qing came to the other person's side and tentatively kicked him a couple of times to prevent him from coming back to life.

After confirming that the other party was indeed unconscious, she squatted down to carefully observe the face of the man in red.

She had felt something was off before; when she looked at him with Eagle Vision, his face always seemed fake.

Upon closer inspection, this feeling became even more pronounced.

She slowly reached out and pinched one side of the man's cheek with her fingers.

A greasy, slippery feeling came from her fingers, and they felt a little cool to the touch.

With a forceful rip, she tore off the fake skin from the man in red's face, revealing a fierce-looking man's face.

"Is this the legendary art of disguise?" Lu Qing pondered, looking at the fake skin she had torn in her hand.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in works of art, but this was the first time she had encountered it in real life.

"Are others like this too?" As Lu Qing was thinking this, she suddenly heard Muir's voice.

"Ugh~ What is this thing? It's disgusting!" Muir said with a look of disgust, holding a fake leather suit that looked exactly like the one she was holding.

"These people must have infiltrated in disguise, and their cause of trouble was simply to make it easier to carry out their plan."

"However, they probably didn't expect you to discover their secret release of poison gas behind our backs, and that we weren't afraid of poison gas at all."

Lu Qing tossed the fake leather aside and went to Muir's side.
