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

[The Weeping Man's Lucky Coin: Flip a lucky coin. If the coin lands heads up, your luck increases significantly; if it lands tails up, your luck increases slightly.]

However, it's worth noting that once the luck gained from landing tails up ends, the coin will have a negative effect, reducing your luck.

"Lucky Coin?" Lu Qing asked, looking at the skill described in the diary with some curiosity.

With a thought, a pure gold coin appeared in her hand. After pondering for a moment, Lu Qing tossed the coin into the air.

"Bah."

The coin landed on the hard floor tiles with a crisp sound, and after a brief shake, it landed head up on the ground.

"Good luck." Lu Qing commented after seeing the coin land heads up.

She had a reason for tossing the coin; it wasn't a reckless act. You see, she was in very, very bad shape right now. If she was unlucky enough to run into some formidable enemies on her way back, things would get really complicated.

So it doesn't matter how she flips the coin, as long as it increases her luck, that's enough. As for the coin's backlash, once she recovers from her injuries and is careful, she should be fine.

However, there's no need to worry about the coin's backlash anymore. Lu Qing retrieved the lucky coin from the Weeping One and, together with Ling, began searching for an exit inside the underground train station.

Perhaps it was the effect of the Weeping One's Lucky Coin, but she and Ling found the exit of the underground train station simply by wandering around underground based on their senses.

Having reached this point, Lu Qing's strength had recovered somewhat, and she quickened her pace considerably. As for the skeletons and rotting corpses that had been wandering the streets, they had all disappeared after the Queen's death.

As for the flesh giants, she didn't encounter a single one. This was probably due to the effect of the lucky coin. If she encountered a flesh giant now, she wouldn't necessarily be unable to defeat it, but it would be extremely troublesome and difficult. Not encountering one was the best outcome.

Speaking of the flesh giant, Lu Qing suddenly remembered that she still needed to help Yegos kill the flesh giant's mother and bring her the method to help him research how to resolve the tumor inside the roots of the sacred tree. She hoped that the flesh giant's mother wouldn't be as difficult to deal with as the Queen's resentful soul.

She didn't want to experience the consequences of underestimating the enemy again.

Chapter 584: Psionic Throw

“Your Highness, you’re back.” Jaegers, who was studying the corpse of the flesh giant, noticed the footsteps behind him and turned around to say.

"Looks like it's going to be a tough battle," Yeggs said, looking at Lu Qing's somewhat disheveled appearance.

"She's really tough to deal with." Lu Qing nodded, then casually found a place to sit down and asked, "Do you have anything to eat here?"

This battle had drained her of too much energy, especially after using [Emergency Recovery]. Coupled with the side effects of other [Nightmare] skills, Lu Qing felt so hungry that she could eat at least... five big trees.

"Well, we do have food, but I don't know if it will suit your taste," Jaeger said slowly after hesitating for a moment.

Yeggs opened a box from a corner of the city wall, and a putrid frankincense smell filled the small room inside the city wall. Upon smelling this, Lu Qing subconsciously frowned and took a step back, saying, "This is what you called edible stuff?"

“Uh…” Jaegers looked at the rotting food in the box with some embarrassment and said, “They didn’t smell this bad before.”

“Ever since my body was corrupted by the void, even these rotten foods can provide me with nutrients without prematurely destroying my body,” Yegos explained to Lu Qing.

“However, their taste is really not good.” Jaeger looked at the rotten and moldy food in the box with some disgust and said, “So I would not eat these things unless I had no other choice.”

As he spoke, he slammed the box shut, shutting out the foul, rotten smell.

"Is this all you usually eat?" Lu Qing asked, her brows furrowed.

“I had no choice,” Jaegers said. “There’s nothing to eat in the old capital. In fact, I haven’t eaten anything from that box in a long time.”

"So what are you eating now?" Lu Qing asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Eat grass," Jaeger said casually, grabbing a handful of weeds from the table beside him and stuffing them into his mouth to chew.

"Ok."

With a sigh, Lu Qing turned and left Yeges, heading towards the forest not far away. She was going to eat; what she had said before, that she felt she could eat five big trees, was no joke.

.......

In the end, despite Lu Qing's hamster-like eating habits, she only managed to eat the trunks of two large trees. The five large trees were, in the end, nothing more than a hallucination caused by extreme hunger.

As for the remaining branches, she didn't waste them. Instead, she collected them, processed them slightly, and made them into wooden boards that were just the right size to be carved into masks.

After stuffing all the wooden planks into the storage cabinet in the hut, Lu Qing returned to Yeges's place and quietly rested in a relatively comfortable spot.

Although she really wanted to take another shower, she decided against it. Jaeger should be able to find the location of the flesh and blood mother tomorrow. Taking a shower before the battle seemed to indicate a serious illness, and she was already very tired and needed plenty of rest.

After glancing at Yeggs, who was still studying the corpse of the flesh giant even in the dead of night, Lu Qing slowly closed her eyes, her consciousness sinking into deep darkness.

.......

[Undead Conversion (345 hours)]

Slowly opening her eyes, Lu Qing woke up from her deep sleep. The slightly glaring countdown on the diary recorded the time she had rested. In a sense, this thing could perhaps be used as a watch.

She stood up from the ground and walked towards Jaegers, who seemed to have not slept all night and was still intently studying the flesh giant's body.

His crimson eye, corrupted by the void, swept over the flesh-and-blood giant's body repeatedly.

Jaegers said that the contaminated eyeball could help him see things that others couldn't, but Lu Qing didn't know exactly what he saw, or whether it was a microscope-like ability or the power to see some extraordinary phenomena.

Or perhaps it's a combination of both...

Thinking this, Lu Qing came up behind Yeges and deliberately made some footsteps so that he could hear her.

"Good morning, Your Highness." Upon hearing Lu Qing's footsteps, Yeges greeted her without turning around.

"Good morning, Yeggs." Lu Qing looked at Yeggs, who was engrossed in his study, and after a pause, asked, "Have you found the location of the mother body?"

“Just a little bit more…” Jaegers said. “I’m almost there. Could you please wait a moment longer?”

“No problem.” Although she was burdened with the curse of undead transformation, which seemed like a death warrant, Lu Qing didn’t mind waiting for Yegos for a while longer. She could use this time to sort out her previous gains.

First, there's the magic essence. After resolving the Queen's vengeful spirit, she gained a full 800 magic essence points. Adding that to the previous 740 points, she now has a total of 1540 magic essence points.

Without hesitation, Lu Qing spent 1000 magic points to learn the skill [Spiritual Energy Throw].

A wealth of knowledge and skills about the use of psionic energy flooded her mind. To her surprise, after learning psionic throwing, she also received upgrades in other skills!

Chapter 585: Arise, my soldiers!

Besides the sword energy that can be unleashed, [Psionic Throw] has other uses, such as...

Lu Qing sheathed the sword Altaïr and then took off the wind spirit bow that was hanging on her body.

Unlike melee weapons that rely on brute force, the power of the Wind Spirit Bow depends mostly on the item's own attributes and the gathered wind elemental power. All Lu Qing can do is pull the bowstring.

The advantage of this item is that its lower limit is very high, while the disadvantage is that it is difficult to increase its upper limit. However, after learning [Psychic Throw], Lu Qing found that she could slightly change this situation.

Black and red spiritual energy gathered on the bowstring. Accompanied by the surge of wind element, an arrow formed purely from the wind appeared on the bowstring of the Wind Spirit Bow. Lu Qing tried to integrate spiritual energy into the wind element arrow to enhance its power, but was disappointed to find that the two could not be combined at all.

Her spiritual power, once injected into a wind element arrow, completely disrupts the arrow's stability. At best, it causes the wind element arrow to shatter; at worst, it causes the wind element arrow to explode. In short, they cannot be fused together.

However, although their powers cannot be combined, this does not mean that Lu Qing has no other options.

She felt that the skill [Psionic Throw] was less about throwing and more about the ability to condense spiritual energy outside the body. The spiritual energy condensed through this skill was much stronger than the sword energy she used to casually swing, which dissipated more and more with distance.

Thinking this, Lu Qing conjured a black and red spiritual arrow in her hand and nocked it on the bowstring of the Wind Elf Bow.

She drew the bowstring again, and the familiar wind elemental force converged towards Lu Qing, continuously wrapping around the spiritual energy arrow she had condensed.

"Whoosh!"

The black and red spiritual arrow flew out of the dream. With the support of the wind element, it flew very fast and pierced the trunk of a large tree in the far distance in the blink of an eye.

“…” Lu Qing frowned, feeling that something was still not quite right, and it seemed to be different from what she believed.

After thinking for a moment, she took out the wooden planks she had collected from the storage cabinet in the hut and then used the [Words of Rock] to carve them into wooden arrows.

Lu Qing gently pinched the arrow's tail with her fingers and continuously poured her spiritual energy into it. The dark red spiritual energy covered the arrow and was then enveloped by the surging wind element.

"Whoosh!"

The wooden arrow flew out at high speed and instantly pierced through a huge rock in the distance. Lu Qing came to the rock and carefully observed it. She quickly realized what she thought was wrong.

Unlike arrows formed purely from spiritual power or wind elemental power, physical arrows do not dissipate. Precisely because they are physical, the physical damage they cause is much greater than that of pure energy arrows.

"So that's how it is..." Lu Qing returned to the collapsed old city wall of the capital with a thoughtful expression, and turned her gaze to the wooden arrows she had just carved.

"Although the quality is a bit poor... I'll use it for now." She thought to herself, and picked up a few planks to make wooden arrows.

As for the quiver used to store arrows, Lu Qing wasn't incapable of making one, but there was nowhere to hang it on her person. Of course, if she wanted, she could store some things she didn't need for the time being in the storage cabinet of the hut, and then she could carry the quiver with her.

As for why she didn't do that, it wasn't because she was lazy or found it too troublesome to pack up; it was simply because carrying the quiver on her person made it somewhat inconvenient to move around.

Those hastily made wooden arrows were not as sturdy as they looked. If she carried the quiver on her person, it was very likely that the arrows would be crushed and broken apart in the time it took to roll over, and they might even fall to the ground.

Professional quivers have a function to hold arrows, but Lu Qing didn't know how it was done, so she decided to put the arrows in the storage cabinet in the hut. When she needed them, she could just summon the storage cabinet.

After having studied the [Spiritual Power Throwing] technique extensively, Lu Qing began to research the functions of the Weeping Mask.

There's no need to study the lucky coin; she actually tested it last time she used it. Even if you try to use skill to adjust the coin's landing to heads, the result is completely random when the coin is thrown into the air.

Because the speed at which the coin flipped as it flew through the air was completely different from what she had calculated in her mind; it was just that the final result was always heads.
