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

"what happened?"

Rubbing her eyes cutely, Lu Qing sat up in bed and looked at the updated content on the notice board.

Secondary objective: Resolve the employer's concerns (Completed!)

"Is it finally finished?!"

Upon seeing this message, Lu Qing's previously drowsy spirits immediately lifted.

She glanced at Fang Qingrou cautiously, and seeing that the other party showed no signs of waking up, she tiptoed off the bed to wash up beforehand.

It's only around six in the morning, and judging from the news that the secondary objective has been completed, Shanara should have just woken up not long ago.

Gently push open the window, and you'll notice Wayne, who has fallen from the sky, standing on the windowsill preening his feathers.

“Good morning, Master. You’re up early today,” Wayne said.

"Why have you changed how you address me again?" Lu Qing asked after hearing Wayne's words.

These past two days, Wayne seems to have gotten something wrong with his way of addressing Lu Qing, constantly changing how he addresses her.

For example, I called her "boss" the day before yesterday, "boss" yesterday, and "master" today.

This made Lu Qing feel somewhat uncomfortable, because Vein used to always address her as "you, you, you" or simply call her a stupid human.

Something unusual must be going on, Lu Qing thought, but she couldn't figure out what Wei Yin was up to.

Upon hearing Lu Qing's question, Wayne extended an arm and bowed to Lu Qing like a gentleman, saying:

"Gah, I'm a polite gentleman now. As someone who has signed a contract with me, you are theoretically my superior, so I've been trying to see which form of address you prefer."

“You…” Staring strangely at Wayne, Lu Qing sensed something was really wrong, so she decisively asked:

Have you eaten anything strange lately?

"......"

Vein remained silent for a moment, his outward politeness vanishing without a trace. He flapped his wings in exasperation and spoke:

"Gah, you foolish human, you're the one who ate something strange! This is called gentlemanly manners, it's etiquette, do you understand?"

"So, where did you learn all this from?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

It's not hard to guess that Wei Yin was probably affected by something, and Lu Qing can understand that.

After all, although Vain accepted that fragment of the God of Misfortune and Doom, he was still just a raven, much younger than Lu Qing.

It's like a child who doesn't know how to hide his thoughts, possessing a vast amount of knowledge but lacking the corresponding mental capacity.

Lu Qing had already noticed this, which is why her attitude towards Wayne is getting better and better.

"It's just that I've been too bored these days, so I just randomly picked up a book in a human bookstore to read," Vain said with a resentful look, clearly indicating that these days of doing nothing were not pleasant for him.

"Didn't anyone in the store notice you?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, a smug look appeared on Wei Yin's face. He said, "I used magic to take the book directly out of the bookstore and found a secluded place to read it."

"........"

"Your behavior is not gentlemanly at all," Lu Qing complained.

"Gah........"

The smug expression on Wayne's face froze instantly, and he retorted:

"Nobody notices anyway, there are plenty of these books there."

"What's the difference between this and stealing?" Lu Qing retorted.

"......"

"How about I put the book back tomorrow? I've already finished reading it anyway," Wayne said after thinking for a moment.

Lu Qing sighed, took out several dozen silver coins from her pouch, placed them on the table, and said:

"You don't need to take it back. If you like reading it, just take the book back to the hotel. Here's the money; you can use it to buy more books."

"Hmm... I mean, you can leave the money there after you take the book, which is equivalent to buying it."

"Gah, are you sure you want to give me this money?" Wayne looked at Lu Qing with some disbelief.

"In the knowledge I have acquired, it has been said that money is a very important thing for human beings."

Seeing Wayne's reaction, Lu Qing was first taken aback, then found it somewhat amusing and said:

"Take it. Whether money is important to humans depends on the amount. As for this little bit of silver, you can spend it however you like."

"Oh." Wayne nodded, seemingly understanding, and picked up the money from the table.

A wisp of black mist drifted by, and the silver coins Lu Qing had placed on the table vanished.

"?"

"Where did you put this money?" Lu Qing asked in surprise.

"I put it in my spatial storage," Wayne casually explained upon hearing Lu Qing's words.

It seems that storing items in another dimension is not a difficult thing for him.

"How did you do that? Can you teach me?" Lu Qing asked.

Vein was taken aback by Lu Qing's sudden enthusiasm, not expecting her to react so strongly to something like this. He took a small step back and said:

"This is something you're born with; you can't learn it."

"It's innate..."

Hearing Wayne's answer, Lu Qing wasn't too disappointed, after all, she had already prepared herself mentally.

However, she then asked, "How much can you store exactly? Can you put living things in the space? Will the things inside rot over time?"

Lu Qing recalled the novels she had read in her previous life, in which the protagonists mostly possessed storage items in the form of rings.

In those novels, the protagonist's spatial ring has a very large space that cannot store living things, and the items placed in the ring will not decay over time.

To be honest, Lu Qing was already sick of this kind of spatial ring concept in her previous life, but if she could have a spatial ring now, it wouldn't be bad, even though this "ring" could move.

"Um, it's not that big, just a little over twice my size. It can't store living beings with consciousness. If you put anything inside, it will still rot over time." After thinking for a moment, Wayne answered Lu Qing's questions one by one.

"It can't store conscious living beings, does that mean it can be put in if the creature is unconscious?" Lu Qing asked.

Wayne nodded and said, "That's right."

"Oh~"

Upon receiving Wayne's answer, many thoughts immediately flooded Lu Qing's mind. However, these thoughts were ruthlessly shattered the moment they surfaced by another fact.

The maximum number of items that Vayne can store is only slightly more than twice his own size.

In other words, this space is very small and can't hold much stuff at all!

Chapter 76: Having a dream is a good thing

Time flies, and the rehearsal time before the official start of the performance was almost gone, and the day of the performance arrived.

In the final few days, through Lu Qing's arduous training and study, her basic dance skills finally improved from 60% to 80%.

Basic Singing completed the final 20% progress bar, becoming a white-quality skill in Lu Qing's skill bar.

Apart from that, there are no other changes to the skills. After all, a person's energy is limited, and the rapid growth of other skills will inevitably require sacrificing the growth of proficiency in other skills.

"Wow~"

Fang Qingrou and Lu Qing hid behind the stage, using the dim stage light to secretly look down at the audience. They saw that the audience was already full of people, men and women from all over the city, sitting in their chairs and discussing things.

"There are so many people here," Fang Qingrou said nervously.

Noticing Fang Qingrou's nervousness, Lu Qing gently patted her back and said:

"Just relax and perform as well as you did in rehearsals."

Feeling the warmth on her back, Fang Qingrou relaxed considerably. She turned to look at Lu Qing and asked curiously:

"Little Deer, aren't you nervous?"

"Of course I was nervous. I've never performed in front of so many people before," Lu Qing said.

I vaguely remember that when I was in school in my previous life, I would get extremely nervous when I introduced myself in front of more than fifty people in my class, let alone in this situation now.

However, it seems that the mental attributes she had previously acquired were now taking effect, as Lu Qing could feel the tension in her heart, but she was not disturbed by the tension.

Gently stroking the throwing knife hidden inside her clothes, the cold touch gradually calmed Lu Qing down.

Meanwhile, below the stage, the old man walked into the opera house and quickly found the spot where his ticket was.

The first row, near the middle, offers a clear view of everything on stage.

After all, he was a former general of the empire, so getting his hands on this special ticket would be quite easy.

The performance hadn't started yet. The old man looked around and noticed that sitting next to him was a young man who seemed very quiet.

If Lu Qing were here, she would have noticed that this young man was the same manager who had previously been in charge of the counter at the entrance.

As the ticket seller, the administrator had naturally prepared his own tickets in advance. Although it felt a bit like an abuse of power, the higher-ups usually turned a blind eye to such things.

It's just a spot anyway, and no one would be so idle as to bother the administrator over something so trivial.

After thinking for a moment, the old man looked at the young man and asked:

"Young man, let me ask you a question: do you think opera is good?"

"Huh?" The young man didn't react for a moment. He turned to look at the old man and asked, "Are you asking me?"

"If I wasn't asking you, why would I be looking at you?" the old man said irritably.

"Oh, okay, you're right." After a pause, the young man said:

"Then why would I be sitting here if I didn't like the opera?"

elder:"......."

After a moment of silence, the old man said earnestly:

"Young man, I think you should learn how to respect the elderly."

"Uh." The young man paused for a moment, then said seriously, "I don't think I've done anything disrespectful to you."
