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

After a casual glance, Lu Qing selected [Low-level Training], and immediately 10 Dream Coins were deducted.

[Basic training has begun. Training content: Basic Daggers]

【Please select the strength of the wooden dummy:】

[0.5: A wooden dummy with half the physical attributes of a player.]

[0.8: A wooden dummy possessing 80% of the player's physical attributes.]

[1: A wooden dummy with the same physical attributes as the player.]

【1.2.......1.5.......1.8.......2】

Chapter 120: Basic Dagger 100%

"Let's try level one first," Lu Qing thought.

[The wooden dummy's strength has been determined; level: 1]

The image on the stone slab gradually darkened, followed by a white countdown.

1:59:59.

Does one training session count as two hours?

Lu Qing's face fell. She hadn't expected the training to be so long. She had even fantasized about it continuing until she didn't want to train anymore.

As expected, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. She was originally thinking about whether she could save some more Dream Coins, but she was wrong.

"From this perspective, Dream Coins are simply not enough," Lu Qing thought with a headache.

Suppressing her worries, she turned around and looked at the figure standing on the training ground.

It was a wooden figure, looking very old and worn. Its small size made people doubt its fighting ability, and Lu Qing even worried that she might kick it to pieces.

However, she only thought about it, since it had already been stated on the stone tablet that the wooden figure's physical attributes were the same as hers.

So this wooden figure looks fragile, but it should be quite durable.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing did not use the mithril dagger, but instead took a wooden dagger from the wall of the training ground, just like the wooden dummy.

This is training, not real combat.

Upon arriving at the training ground and confronting the wooden dummy, Lu Qing assumed a defensive stance, ready to face any attack from the dummy.

The wooden figure showed no intention of making a move; it simply stood quietly in front of Lu Qing.

After waiting for a while, Lu Qing was the first to get restless. She came here to train, not to just stand around.

"Let's test the waters first!"

Lu Qing rushed forward and slashed at the wooden figure's chest with the wooden dagger in her hand.

"Clap."

The wooden figure took a step back, dodging Lu Qing's attack.

Seeing this, Lu Qing showed no intention of stopping and launched a continuous attack on the wooden figure.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound rang out, and Lu Qing stared blankly at her empty palm. Before she could think any further, the wooden figure swung its dagger and slashed at her neck.

Lu Qing reacted quickly, and after dodging the wooden man's attack, she activated Eagle Eye and began searching the nearby ground.

"found it!"

With a powerful stomp of her foot, Lu Qing arrived at the wooden dagger that had been knocked away, picked it up, and used it to block the wooden figure's attack.

"Snapped!"

With another sharp clang, the two wooden daggers clashed together, and Lu Qing's arm trembled as she became entangled with the other's dagger.

However, the wooden figure began to exert force at its wrist, causing the dagger to tilt to the side. It then grazed Lu Qing's dagger, circled around it, and sent it flying.

"What!?"

Completely surprised, Lu Qing was stunned for a moment. The next moment, a rough wooden dagger was placed in front of Lu Qing's neck.

She opened her mouth, looked at the wooden figure that seemed like it would fall apart with a gust of wind, and said helplessly, "Fine, you win."

........

[Basic dagger skill proficiency increased by 20%!]

Current skill: Basic Dagger 100% (White)

"Snapped."

Distracted by the notice, Lu Qing's dagger was knocked away by the wooden figure, and a wooden longsword was now pressed straight against her left chest.

When fighting the wooden man, the wooden man will change its weapon after each battle.

So far, Lu Qing has fought against wooden dummies wielding longswords, warhammers, short swords, scimitars, brass knuckles, and maces.

Every battle ended in defeat. During this period, Lu Qing's skill proficiency increased once, reaching 80%.

Just now, the wooden man once again used a wooden longsword to fight Lu Qing.

This time, she was in surprisingly good form and held her own against the wooden man for a long time. If it weren't for the notification sound from the notice board, Lu Qing felt she could have fought the wooden man for much longer.

Of course, the chances of winning are still quite slim, because the wooden man's stamina is unlimited, while Lu Qing's stamina is limited.

Although she can use a kerosene lamp to restore her stamina after each battle, there is no kerosene lamp to restore her stamina during the battle.

Moreover, it must be admitted that in close combat, a longsword is indeed more effective than a dagger.

The saying "an inch longer, an inch stronger" is not without reason; fighting with a dagger against a longsword is indeed quite difficult.

I glanced at the time; there were still forty minutes left before the training ended.

Yes, this is the second time she has started low-level training. With the buff effect that can speed up training in the training ground, Lu Qing feels that her progress has indeed accelerated a lot.

Real combat is indeed the easiest way to improve, especially when dealing with wooden dummies where you don't need to hold back at all.

In addition, the skill [Body Manipulation] also brought great help to Lu Qing.

With the idea of ​​making the most of the training time, Lu Qing got up and went to the training ground again after recovering her strength.

"I must win today!" Lu Qing said, glaring fiercely at the wooden man.

The wooden figure, of course, did not answer her question. It simply changed to a wooden nail-headed hammer and returned to the training ground.

........

"boom!"

With a powerful kick to the wooden man's waist, Lu Qing used her strength to pin the man to the ground.

In close combat, the opponent's spear is practically useless.

He raised the dagger in his right hand and thrust it straight at the wooden figure's forehead.

"boom!"

The tip of the wooden dagger collided with the forehead of the wooden figure, and Lu Qing felt a tremor in her hand.

"I guess I won," Lu Qing said as she climbed down from the wooden figure.

The wooden figure remained motionless, still lying on the ground. It seemed that what Lu Qing had just done had indeed successfully "killed" the wooden figure.

"Three minutes left."

After glancing at the time, Lu Qing walked down from the training ground and returned to the stone platform.

“There are 85 Dream Coins left.” Lu Qing looked at the skills she could deduce and began to think.

What can you do with 85 Dream Coins?

One [Weakness Detection] skill, or four light weapons (heavy weapons) to throw, or any two skills that cost forty Dream Coins.

After pondering for a long time, Lu Qing chose the skill she wanted to deduce.

[Throwing Knife Specialization] Costs 40 Dream Coins.

[Dagger Upgrade] Costs 20 Dream Coins.

With twenty-five Dream Coins remaining, Lu Qing didn't want the skills [Heavy Weapon Throwing] and [Light Weapon Throwing], but she couldn't afford the remaining skills.

"How about another [fancy dagger]?"

"Um......."

Lu Qing pursed her lips. Although the [Fancy Dagger] skill wasn't very useful, she couldn't afford the other skills right now.

And to be honest, she was actually quite interested in this skill.

She felt it was a waste, and she felt she needed to find a reason to convince herself.

"This event was broadcast live the whole time. If I perform well, even if I don't make it into the top ten, if I attract some viewers to become my fans, I won't have to worry about money in the future."

Making excuses for herself, Lu Qing stretched out her finger and gently tapped the skill [Fancy Dagger].

Chapter 121: Practicing Skills

"Only 15 Dream Coins left."

Looking at the three icons that lit up on the stone platform, Lu Qing thought for a moment and then pointed to the [Free Training] button.

[Low-level training] costs 10 Dream Coins. Although it can speed up skill practice, only one skill can be trained at a time.

As for [Free Training], although it won't speed up her training, it can provide a variety of wooden training weapons on the walls.

Without picking up the kerosene lamp from the ground, Lu Qing returned to the room in the cottage and found three extra books on the wooden table.

[Fancy Daggers] [Advanced Daggers] [Throwing Knife Mastery]

Judging from the thickness of the books, "Fancy Daggers" is the thinnest, followed by "Throwing Knife Mastery," and the thickest one is "Advanced Daggers."

The Fancy Dagger is obviously the thinnest, after all, it's the cheapest skill, costing only 10 Dream Coins.

While the throwing knife specialization is more expensive than the dagger advancement, it is thinner.

However, the difference between the two is not that great; it seems to be only about a dozen pages less.
