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

After clicking to sort by latest update, Li Mu quickly scanned the screen in front of him to see if there were any works that suited his taste.

"This drawing is nice, I'll save it."

"The book's synopsis is well-written. I'll save it for later."

"The only piece of music on the entire page. Music creation is still difficult. Let's just listen to it."

"Damn, newcomers are all devils, this song is so damn good, I'm adding it to my favorites."

......

"Ok?"

As he was browsing, a work that suddenly appeared caught Li Mu's attention.

This is a book, and it was uploaded an hour ago.

It wasn't that the book title was particularly appealing; what truly caught Li Mu's attention was the book's cover.

The female protagonist, with silver-white hair, who appears to be the main character, stands in the center holding a dagger, while beside her, an old man holding a silver-white longsword looks sharply ahead.

In addition, there is a ghostly little girl holding a strong man wielding a longbow. Behind these figures, a white worm roars to the sky, its mouth wide open, its sharp teeth and scarlet tongue sending chills down one's spine.

"This painting is of such high quality," Li Mu exclaimed in surprise.

Clicking on the cover and zooming in revealed countless details to Li Mu.

Perhaps because the image was enlarged, Li Mu felt a strange sense of oppression emanating from the painting before him.

"It's been so long since I've entered a dream world. I can feel the oppression even from a painting." Li Mu shook his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Since switching careers to become a dream weaver, he only enters the dream world occasionally. After all, compared to staying in his own game hall and weaving one artificial dream after another, entering the dream world is too dangerous.

He's currently stuck at the blue level and can't advance any further. No matter how many attribute points he accumulates, it's meaningless. And Dream Coins can be obtained from artificial dreams.

After glancing at the book's title and author, Li Mu felt a surge of interest.

"Misty Town, Author: Stranger, you should check out this book first."

Li Mu opened the book's table of contents, clicked on the first chapter, and then a huge illustration appeared in front of him.

The image shows a young girl, the same girl on the cover who stands in the center holding a dagger.

The girl was resting one hand on the stair railing, seemingly heading down the stairs.

The illustration is not colored; the entire painting consists of gray lines and shadows. However, it is precisely these lines and shadows that give the painting a unique and peculiar artistic conception.

After looking at the entire illustration, Li Mu decided that as long as the book wasn't too badly written, he would definitely finish reading it.

If the content is bad, he will skip the novel's plot and collect all the illustrations.

Turning to the next page, lines of beautiful handwriting appeared before Li Mu's eyes...

"It was a pleasant surprise."

Half an hour later, Li Mu quickly finished reading the plot, which consisted of only about 60,000 words.

If Li Mu had to describe his feelings, it would probably be one of surprise and delight.

Whether it's the exquisite illustrations in this book, the author's beautiful handwritten text, or the writing style that makes it feel completely natural, every aspect of it caught Li Mu's eye.

However, what he liked most were the illustrations that occasionally appeared in the books.

Three of the illustrations were Li Mu's favorites.

One image depicts the scene in the novel where the "Stranger" uses "Anna's Heart" to revisit his memories, gazing into Anna's eyes at the stake.

When Li Mu saw Anna's cold eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

The second image shows the scene where the protagonist receives Anna's blessing after fulfilling her request.

Anna's spirit, seemingly freed from her previous life, radiated a soft white light and embraced the protagonist from behind. The smile she revealed in the last moment before disappearing, and the bewildered expression on the protagonist's face when she was suddenly hugged, all contribute to the scene.

This was a long-lost experience for Li Mu, allowing him to feel the same emotions he had when he first started reading a novel—emotions that rose and fell with the protagonist's.

And the last one...

That was the scene after the protagonist defeated the final enemy, the giant worm, was severely injured, fell into a coma, and then woke up.

The girl, who had just woken up, had her frail body wrapped in pure white bandages. The long-awaited sunlight, which had appeared after the fog dissipated, shone down from the window, as if draping the girl in a halo.

"I feel like I have new creative inspiration," Li Mu thought.

However, he had another thing to do before starting work.

Looking at the comment section where no one had commented yet, Li Mu smiled.

[The author's work is excellent, but is it really possible for a human to adapt dream content into a novel and even create illustrations?]

Yes, Li Mu noticed it halfway through the story: the protagonist's name was "Stranger," the same as the author's game ID.

In addition, the protagonist's behavior in the novel is often strange, as if he is moving around the town with some kind of purpose.

It was even stranger when the protagonist saw "Anna's Heart". The protagonist should not know what important this thing is, but he carefully put it in his backpack.

Therefore, based on Li Mu's guess, this was definitely a work created by a player after entering a dream.

However, thinking about those illustrations that required an outrageous amount of work, Li Mu silently wiped his forehead.

Are all young people these days monsters?

Silently closing the [Dream Space], Li Mu opened the game forum and posted a brand new thread.

[A dream weaver, who was doing nothing productive, made an unexpected discovery while searching for inspiration: a genius who adapted his dreams into novels and illustrated them—a personal miracle grew on his liver!]

Chapter 62: The Serious Vein

In the early morning, under the sunlight, the white-haired girl lying in bed slowly woke up.

She opened her sleepy eyes, a hint of confusion flashing across them before quickly returning to clarity. She propped herself up with her hands and slowly stretched.

"Hmm~"

Recalling what happened last night, Lu Qing shifted her gaze to the girl lying next to her.

The warm sunlight failed to wake Fang Qingrou from her slumber; instead, it made her feel warm and comfortable, allowing her to sleep even more soundly.

The reason Lu Qing woke up was because the low-temperature curse on her body had not been removed. Even the gentle morning sun would make her feel uncomfortable after being exposed to it for a long time.

Yeah, mainly because I'm still covered by a blanket, and it's a bit hot...

Last night, she told Fang Qingrou most of what she had experienced in the misty town, even mentioning her failure once.

Although she wasn't actually the one who failed that time, since she had already used this body, what the original owner had experienced was now her experience.

This is precisely why the two of them fell asleep quite late, and Fang Qingrou is still asleep now.

Without intending to wake the other person, Lu Qing gently stepped out of the quilt, her bare feet lightly touching the wooden board. Lu Qing picked up her clothes and began to put them on one by one.

There's no need to worry about cameras or being spied on, since the technology in this dream world is only at the level of the Middle Ages, so how could there possibly be cameras?

Moreover, as the most reputable hotel in the entire Fenghua City, its safety can be guaranteed.

After getting dressed, Lu Qing went to the window and called out softly:

"Vin!"

The contract told her that Wayne was nearby, but there was no way to contact him directly, and there was no such thing as a mental conversation.

Helpless, Lu Qing could only try to call the other person over, but because Fang Qingrou was still sleeping, she didn't dare to shout too loudly.

"Gah, coming, coming."

A hoarse, unpleasant voice rang out, and Lu Qing looked up in the direction of the sound, immediately spotting Vain flying towards them.

"Did anything special happen last night?" Lu Qing asked.

Gently landing on the edge of the window, Wayne preened his feathers and said, "No, quack!"

"Keep your voice down!" Lu Qing couldn't help but say, looking at Fang Qingrou who was sleeping beside her, "Qingrou is still resting."

After hearing Lu Qing's words, Wayne subconsciously glanced at Fang Qingrou lying on the bed and said:

"Gah, I didn't rest all night, what did I say, gah!"

Despite saying that, Wayne still managed to control the volume quite well.

Nodding in satisfaction, Lu Qing decided not to hold Wei Yin's earlier loud talking against him, considering how sensible the other party was.

And one thing is true: Wayne really didn't get any rest all night, and Lu Qing wouldn't selectively ignore that.

"But crows are nocturnal animals, aren't they?" Lu Qing asked casually.

She wasn't very clear on the details, since she had very few memories of crows, mostly of their appearance in games and strange bird-beak masks.

"Caw, you foolish human, crows are active during the day and sleep at night."

Lu Qing rubbed her temples, feeling she was getting used to Wayne's foul mouth. Thinking about it, the crow had at least patrolled for her all night, so she softened her tone slightly and said:

“I have a name, just like you are called Wayne now.”

Hearing Lu Qing's words, Wei Yin recalled the contract he had signed. The name signed by the first party at the time was...

“A stranger? Is that so? What a strange name, Ga.” Wayne said.

"That's just a code name, as for my real name..." She hesitated for a moment before slowly saying:

"Lu Qing".

Although she didn't trust Wayne much, since the raven would be working with her for a long time to come, it was only a matter of time before her name became known.

If I tell him directly, it might increase the crow's trust in me.

As for whether Wayne would cast some strange curses or attack her after learning her name, Lu Qing could only choose to believe that the cabin's contract was reliable enough.

Wayne seemed surprised that Lu Qing had said her name so directly. He paused for a moment, then said:

"Hmph, it doesn't even sound as nice as my name!"

"......"

Rolling her eyes in exasperation, Lu Qing went inside, picked up the sword sheath from the table, placed it by the window, and said:

"Can you take a look at this for me?"

“What is this?” Wayne asked.
