The you in a dream, no matter how powerful, is an illusion.
But fighting monsters in a multiplayer online game is a different story.
And the ultimate boss to be vanquished is the Greedy Dragon.
Legend has it, this boss is incredibly robust and possesses several special skills.
For instance, near-infinite vitality, extremely high charge efficiency, and cooldown reduction.
It even has various minor spells to aid its offense.
With attack speed and critical hit stats maxed out, it's impossible to guard against.
Before this, numerous players had already challenged this boss, finding it ferocious beyond measure.
Some solo, some in teams.
Even the Electro Archon, Dendro Archon, or Floral Archon might not necessarily be able to defeat it.
Of course, by activating their Authority and with a "ding," cheating, the boss could be brought to heel.
And this time, the boss has a new player - the Cryo Archon.
Speaking of playing games, Her Majesty the Tsaritsa becomes quite interested.
Proud and warlike, she already looked down on everything, so naturally, she attacked the boss directly.
Soon, the Cryo Archon paid the price for her haste.
Seeing that Her Majesty was on her first playthrough, the boss chuckled.
Without experience, and without equipping gear that boosted attack speed and critical hits, she intended to solo the boss?
In their initial encounter, the boss naturally held the upper hand, acting with impunity.
The Cryo Archon was suppressed by a barrage of attacks, in a rather sorry state.
But as a high-level player, she displayed astonishing talent.
Soon, the boss's attack patterns and skill cooldowns were thoroughly understood.
Moreover, there was the personal demonstration by the Electro Archon.
It turned out that before direct offense, the boss's armor needed to be weakened.
Unexpectedly, the Electro Archon was also a very good beginner NPC.
Roles reversed, with the true support, the Cryo Archon began to suppress the boss, unleashing continuous damage.
The way she held her head high, looking down at the boss, was indeed a unique experience.
Memories of extreme joy and madness were the best save points.
Incidentally, the world of dreams is not just one.
Because Qin Yu and Zhen's spiritual energies were connected, and Zhen, by chance, was connected to the Cryo Archon.
Thus, they were able to meet in the same world.
Correspondingly...
Yae Miko and Columbina formed one group.
Sgondrone formed another.
A total of three different dreamscapes.
As for whether the women eventually converged...
Dreams are fluid, a mix of reality and illusion.
Who can guarantee that everything experienced wasn't merely self-generated delusion?
The truth, perhaps, is known only to Qin Yu.
...
In reality, Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes.
"Ugh... finally out of the dream..."
His somewhat unfocused eyes moved, gradually regaining clarity.
Qin Yu sighed, his face filled with exhaustion and satisfaction.
Certain memories were vivid and clear.
The gentle and considerate elder sister, and the proud and powerful CEO.
When both women simultaneously donned white shirts, pencil skirts, and black stockings for their office attire...
Cryo-Electro reactions reducing physical resistance, indeed very potent.
"Where is everyone?" Kuaishuge
Qin Yu clutched his waist and straightened up.
Looking around, he realized he had been asleep slumped over the small wooden table the entire time.
It seemed he had indeed slept for quite a while.
"What is this?"
Suddenly, he noticed two small items placed on the table.
Petals glowing with a soft, cherry-pink light, and a necklace of ice crystals as brilliant as snow.
The Authority of the Electro Archon and the Cryo Archon, presented before him once more.
But this time, there was no need to choose.
In the adult world, it's all or nothing.
"Zhen-jie, and the Tsaritsa..."
Qin Yu's gaze softened, and he reached out to grasp both the cherry blossom and the necklace simultaneously.
He turned his head to look at himself in the mirror and was slightly taken aback.
There were hickeys, and two of them.
The cool, moist sensation still lingered on his face, one on the left and one on the right.
Who left them, it seemed, was quite obvious.
This was his chance to become the boyfriend who turned the tables on the domineering CEO, bringing the gentle elder sister along for the ride.
"Heh, it seems they left ahead of me."
Qin Yu stood up and went to the window, stretching lazily with a refreshed feeling.
"Speaking of which..."
His senses indicated that Miko and the other women in the adjacent room were still quiet.
It seemed there was still some time before they woke up.
He pushed open the door.
Qin, with a caring attitude, prepared to check the next room.
The pink-haired fox, leaning against the doorway and having been spanked by Zhen in his dream, was naturally carried along.
Entering the adjacent room.
"Now you know who the boss is when it comes to drinking?"
Qin chuckled, half-jokingly.
This was a victory for the double-duty elite agents.
He thoughtfully tucked them in, preventing them from catching a chill.
Qin Yu looked at the girls sleeping peacefully and beautifully, his gaze gentle.
Even if it was a dream, it was a precious memory.
"Rest well, and we'll experience and appreciate the future journeys and scenery together."
After a soft murmur, Qin, without hesitation, kissed each of them three times.
Well, equally distributed, a fair share for all.
Suddenly, he felt like a busy and fulfilling little bee collecting nectar.
Spring had arrived.
Qin coughed lightly, controlling his expression.
Calm down, calm down, don't get carried away.
*Click.*
After settling everything, he gently left the room.
Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. No major issues.
Now, all that was needed was to fully break the barrier, and then...
Speaking of which, had he forgotten someone?
The thought had barely crossed his mind.
"Who's there?"
A faint disturbance from afar caught his attention.
Qin Yu's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously looked towards the small woods outside the window.
"Lord Qin Yu, it's me."
A familiar voice, gentle with a hint of playfulness, reached him.
A pure white, light figure, like an elf, emerged from the woods.
What a beautiful white-haired fox.
"So it's Yae Saiguu."
Qin Yu coughed lightly and greeted her.
He mused that, as one of the creators of the barrier, she shouldn't have noticed anything.
But as the saying goes, what you fear will come.
"Lord Qin Yu, you look a bit tired."
Yae Saiguu blinked her bright golden eyes, a playful glint in her gaze.
She smiled, and a faint blush rose on her exceptionally beautiful face.
Her snow-white hair, wet from the raindrops, fell onto her smooth, fair cheeks, adding a touch of allure.
Her fluffy fox tail swished back and forth.
"Ahem... still feeling a bit dizzy after sobering up, perhaps..."
Qin, with his thick skin, bluffed his way through.
Facing such a charming and vivacious white-haired fox, he was indeed finding it a bit difficult to handle.
"Eh... I didn't expect the valiant Lord Qin Yu to get shy sometimes."
Yae Saiguu chuckled, covering her mouth, her fox ears twitching charmingly.
There were hidden meanings in her words.
"This... please keep it a secret for me."
Qin, helpless, could only try to placate her with kind words.
What a disaster it would be if the other women found out.
"Secret? Lord Qin Yu, I don't understand."
Yae Saiguu clasped her hands behind her back and walked with light steps, a playful smile on her face.
"Ahem, you know."
"I don't."
"Alright, how can I understand?"
"Lord Qin Yu, would you have some time to take me for a stroll?"
With her back to Qin Yu, the fox lady stood on her tiptoes.
She reached out to catch a falling leaf, tilting her head slightly.
The first ray of sunlight after the rain cast a spell, illuminating the lady's profile, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
"..."
Qin Yu was stunned by the beauty of the fox spirit, his breath catching.
Finally, he slowly nodded.
"Alright."
