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

Looking at Lu Qing's hood, Li Mu was very curious: did real-life girls also have the same appearance as those in the illustrations?

The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. Suddenly, Li Mu found the hood, which had originally added a lot of coolness, to be quite an eyesore.

Oh, and masks too.

.........

"Did you...do you do this?"

After the battle, Viktor stared in astonishment at the wolf king, who was frozen into an ice sculpture, his heart filled with shock.

The werewolves that Lu Qing killed before were one thing, at least they seemed to have been killed with knives, but this wolf king...

This is magic!

This is absolutely fucking magic!

"Ahem, don't be surprised. Could you help me find someone to skin this wolf king? Besides that, I also want his heart," Lu Qing said to Victor.

She paused, then added, "I also need to be present during the dissection."

Coming to his senses, Viktor took a deep look at the wolf king ice sculpture, then turned his gaze to Lu Qing and nodded, saying:

"I understand, I'll make the arrangements."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly bowed to Lu Qing and said, "Thank you for this. Without you, I really can't imagine what would have happened if this kind of guy had broken into the caravan."

"No need to be so polite. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be starving to death in the desert by now," Lu Qing said as she helped Viktor up.

“But all we’ve given you is some food,” Victor said, standing up.

"No." Shaking her head, Lu Qing smiled and said, "There's also friendship."

"If it weren't for your attitude making me feel good about the team, I would never have come to help you," Lu Qing said earnestly.

Viktor was stunned, then burst into laughter and gently patted Lu Qing on the back.

"Haha, yes, and friendship too."

"Once we arrive in the City of Night tomorrow, I'll definitely treat you to a nice meal there!"

"Yes, definitely." Lu Qing nodded in agreement.

“Then it’s settled,” Victor said.

After saying that, the other person turned around and said, "I still need to direct the convoy to handle the aftermath, so I'll be leaving now. Miss Lu Yi, you should also go back and rest."

"I will," Lu Qing nodded.

As Viktor's figure receded into the distance, Lu Qing looked up at the sky and waved to Wayne.

Having noticed Lu Qing's movements, Wayne swooped down from the air and came to stand in front of Lu Qing.

“Caw caw caw, do foolish humans need the help of the great Vain again?” Vain flapped his wings and said.

"......"

Ignoring what Wayne said, Lu Qing said, "Fly up into the air and help me see where that person you saw earlier is."

"Gah, since you're begging me so sincerely, then the great Wayne will help you, you weak human."

As he spoke, Wayne quickly took to the sky.

Lu Qing watched Wayne's disappearing figure and sighed, rubbing her forehead in exasperation.

"Even crows have a chuunibyou phase, right?"

"........."

After a moment of silence, Lu Qing suddenly realized that this crow had always seemed a bit eccentric from the beginning, but it had become even more eccentric recently due to reading more books.

Chapter 135: Underpants Worn Inside Out

After Wayne took to the air, Lu Qing raised her head and stared at Wayne, who appeared very inconspicuous in the darkness, with her eagle eyes.

"Gah, gah, gah."

Vein let out a few strange cries in the air, and Lu Qing knew that this meant he had spotted the target.

Seeing this, Lu Qing quickly followed behind him.

Wayne was flying towards a small town near the foot of the hill where the convoy was located. Lu Qing only followed Wayne for a short while before she saw a figure running towards the town.

The night was dark, but it couldn't block Lu Qing's vision. She could see that it was a young man with black hair.

He was wearing a leather armor that looked somewhat old but was well-preserved, and a bronze mace hung at his waist.

Although it looks like bronze, who knows what dream materials it might be made from? Lu Qing didn't think of underestimating it.

By the way, items that have already been acquired by players will not emit light, and their attributes will not be visible.

Unless the owner of the item agrees, you can only see its attributes by taking it from the owner.

Looking at the mace in the other person's hand, Lu Qing then looked at the small round shield in the young man's left hand.

From the outside, there's nothing special about it; it's just an ordinary small round shield.

The other person wasn't moving very fast either, and Lu Qing felt she could easily catch up with him.

"Should we resolve this?" Lu Qing began to think.

Two seconds later, Lu Qing finished thinking and prepared to send this player on his way.

After all, we're not all on the same side. If you want to improve your ranking, you have to eliminate the other players.

However, before sending the other person away, she decided to see if she could get anything out of them.

After all, players who look this weak should be harder to encounter once they enter Night City.

Lu Qing felt that the system's first major objective, to put it bluntly, was actually to eliminate players who were not strong enough.

After all, this event has garnered a lot of attention, and there will definitely be a large number of players participating.

If so many people all enter Night City, wouldn't that create chaos?

Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the weaker players appropriately.

.........

"Hoo, ha, ha..."

In the pitch-black night, a black-haired youth clad in leather armor was running swiftly.

His game ID is "Underpants Worn Backwards," and he's a newbie who's only level 2.

Since I was a newbie and saw that I met the participation requirements for the event, I decided to participate in this newbie event.

He was very lucky; the system immediately placed him in a small town next to Night City.

Logically, he should have been among the first to enter Night City, but in reality, when he tried to enter Night City, he found a group of fully armed guards at the entrance, checking everyone who wanted to enter.

With no other option, he had to retreat and choose to stay in the town temporarily while searching for a way to enter the Night City.

As a result, a werewolf attack occurred on the very first night.

He mustered his courage, approached the town mayor, and explained his purpose.

After their conversation, he made a deal with the town's mayor: if he resolved the strange events in the town, the mayor would give him a letter that would grant him access to the Night City.

Then........

Many days passed, and he finally found the werewolves' lair, only to discover that with his fighting strength, he had no way to deal with them.

Therefore, when he saw Viktor's convoy appear, an idea immediately came to him.

That is, to lure these werewolves to the caravan and let the caravan take care of them.

To carry out this plan, the young man secretly lured a werewolf away from its den during the day and used a trap to kill the lone werewolf.

They then dragged the body down the hillside where the convoy was located, dug a hole, buried it in the sand, and left.

As he expected, when night fell, the werewolves, after discovering that their companions were missing, followed the scent to the location where the bodies were buried.

Then he rushed up the hillside where the convoy was located, and everything went exactly as he had planned.

until.......

The appearance of that woman.

Using the night vision binoculars he had bought in town, he watched from the shadows as Lu Qing dealt with the werewolves. Then, with his underwear inside out, he left his hiding place without hesitation.

In any other dream, encountering a top-tier player would be a joyful experience, but unfortunately, this dream is an artificial one.

It's still that kind of dream world where players need to kill each other to improve their ranking.

Wearing his underwear inside out, he had no intention of contacting Lu Qing at all; he only wanted to stay far away from her and then ask the town mayor for his reward after the convoy left the next day.

After all, the mayor knew about the plan he was implementing; otherwise, why would he have asked the mayor for the letter to enter the Night Capital at the end?

.........

"I've said everything I needed to say, boss, I was wrong, please spare my life." He said, his underwear inside out, bound to the ground in a disheveled state, his face bruised and battered.

"Sorry, I don't have the habit of not eliminating problems before they're completely eradicated," Lu Qing said with a smile as she drew her mithril dagger.

"Hey, could you be a little gentler, boss?" the young man said, knowing he had no hope of escaping.

"Okay." Lu Qing nodded and said, "But I have one more question I want to ask you. I'll give you a straight answer after you answer it."

Before the young man could speak, Lu Qing asked the question she wanted to know.

"How do you cover up your body odor?" Lu Qing asked.

Whether it was when the young man used a trap to kill the werewolf and dragged the corpse down the hillside to the caravan, or when he was following behind the werewolf towards the caravan earlier.

None of the werewolves could smell the young man's scent, which made Lu Qing very curious.

"Forehead."

His face stiffened as he put his underwear inside out. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have a prop that can prevent my body from emitting any odor."

After saying that, as if afraid that Lu Qing would steal his props, he quickly reminded her by turning his underwear inside out, "Boss, we're live right now."

"Are you threatening me?" Lu Qing asked the young man with an icy expression.
