28: Chapter 28 Ascension Gift Pack

In the security dormitory, on a tattered bed, Hu Gualing had already fallen asleep.

"Holy crap!!"

As soon as Hu Gualing entered the "dream,"

He was startled by a farmwoman with a dark, reddish complexion right in front of him.

That honest smile, those fists the size of sandbags, that green name above her head...

"Miao Cuihua!!" Hu Gualing shouted.

Wasn't this farmwoman the same Miao Cuihua who had beaten him to death three times with three punches in yesterday's dream?

"Can dreams actually have sequels like a TV series?"

Hu Gualing thought to himself, but he vaguely felt that something was slightly off.

Miao Cuihua looked at Hu Gualing, her short, thick eyebrows arching. "Oh my, you've made quite some progress, reaching Level 4 in Farmers Three Punches so quickly!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Miao Cuihua's words, Hu Gualing was momentarily baffled.

After a moment, it clicked.

Farmers Three Punches was the boxing technique he had learned in his dream yesterday.

However, he vaguely remembered that when he learned the skill, it was only Level 1, and he had woken up before he could test its power.

Why did Miao Cuihua say it was Level 4?

Perplexed, Hu Gualing opened his skill panel.

[Farmers Three Punches (Level 4):

A boxing technique used by the farmwoman Miao Cuihua when taming oxen; the punches are fierce and possess a certain degree of penetration.]

Eh, it really is Level 4?

Hu Gualing scratched his head and checked the other interfaces.

Attributes, Game Store, and Quest interfaces—all were the same as in yesterday's dream.

But he noticed a small package in his inventory, appearing out of nowhere.

He opened it casually, and several items appeared in his inventory slots.

[Yellow-grade Experience Pill *1]: Use to gain 1000 skill experience points.

[Copper Coins *1000]: The currency used in the world of Fantasy Jianghu.

[Steamed Buns *5]: Buns made from wheat flour; restores 15 stamina points when consumed.

[A Bucket of Fresh Water]: A wooden bucket filled with fresh water; the water can be drunk directly.

Looking at these items, Hu Gualing smiled knowingly. Wasn't this just a Newbie Gift Pack?

Honestly, it really did feel like playing an online game.

But aren't Newbie Gift Packs usually given as soon as you start the game? It was already his second day, and it had only just appeared out of the blue.

And that skill—he hadn't found any offline grinding feature, so how did it suddenly level up three times?

As soon as these two thoughts surfaced, Hu Gualing couldn't help but chuckle—it was just a dream, why was he taking it so seriously?

By the way, what was the name of that package?

Was it the ascension gift pack?

Hu Gualing shivered instantly.

The Ascension Platform recently updated in that text-based game on his phone had really messed with him.

Thus, the word "Ascension" was fresh in his memory.

Ascension Platform.

ascension gift pack.

It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?

Could it be that the fellow Keyboard Emperor wasn't lying? After ascending, you really do enter a holographic online game!

No, no.

There isn't even a decent VR game on the market right now. A holographic online game? Who are they trying to fool!

Even if it were a holographic game, you'd at least need some kind of login device like a gaming helmet, but he had nothing of the sort.

Besides, this dream started yesterday, and in Text Jianghu yesterday, there was no such thing as Ascension yet!

Under the state of shock, Hu Gualing's brain suddenly became much sharper than usual, and he quickly realized that this couldn't be a holographic game!

As for the coincidence between the Ascension Platform and the ascension gift pack, it could only be said that what one thinks of by day, one dreams of by night.

Despite reaching this conclusion, Hu Gualing still felt a bit creeped out.

Forget it, I'm done with this dream. It's getting eerie!

Hu Gualing intended to wake up.

But a prompt box suddenly appeared before his eyes—

[Quit the game? Yes/No]

Hu Gualing's heart skipped a beat.

His emotions, which had just calmed down slightly, became extremely complex: horror, shock, excitement...

He suddenly thought of the player he had seen yesterday.

If he could just find her and ask, he would know exactly what was going on!

With that thought, he decisively selected "No" and began searching all over the village...
