Raising a Girlfriend Starting from a Dream Game - Chapter 24 - The Dream Ends, Rewards Settled

【Congratulations on completing the mission, player.】
【Exiting the game shortly.】
Ling Xiao left this Dream world.
Soon, he woke up.
Opened his eyes.
Looked up at the ceiling.
This ceiling was very familiar.
Yes, it was his own.
After calming down for two minutes, Ling Xiao confirmed he had returned to reality.
Then, a voice sounded in his mind.
【Congratulations, player, for successfully surviving 100 days in the 《Apocalypse Crisis》 dreamscape.】
【Mission assessment passed, rewards distributed.】
【Reward funds of 200,000 yuan have been automatically deposited. All procedures are compliant and will not cause inflation in the real world.】
【Reward talent “Endure Hunger,” acquiring 40 points.】
【Due to the player’s outstanding performance in this Dream Simulation, the player’s Lifespan Value is extended by 300 days. Current Lifespan Value is 735 days.】
【The next Dream Simulation scenario will begin in 40 days. Stay tuned.】
Ling Xiao looked at the virtual panel of the system device, somewhat surprised.
The rewards from this Dream Simulation were quite abundant.
Besides the 200,000 yuan fund reward, there was also an Endure Hunger talent.
He clicked on the talent description.
【While facing numerous survival challenges in the Apocalypse, the player effectively trained their physique, making them more capable of enduring hunger than ordinary people. This talent is only usable within the dreamscape.】
After reading about this talent, Ling Xiao was also taken aback.
“If that’s the case, then in future dreams, I won’t have to worry too much about food. Even going a day without eating should be fine.”
Wait, why are there points too?
【Points can be used to purchase corresponding items in the Dream Device, which can then be brought into the dreamscape for use. This time, the points are 40. Please keep up the good work.】
“It seems these points can only be used in dreams too.”
However, what comforted him the most was that he had extended his Lifespan by 300 days in this dream.
So now he had nearly two years of life left.
“The next dream is still 40 days away.”
Ling Xiao suddenly realized: why didn’t he have a strong impression of last night’s dream?!
That’s not right.
He clearly remembered that when the first dream ended, he woke up drenched in sweat.
【This dream duration was too long. To prevent players from confusing reality and dream scenes, dream memories will gradually become clearer over five days.】
Upon learning the answer, Ling Xiao had an epiphany.
But based on his recollection, he could remember the last day before the dream ended.
He and Yang Linlin experienced an earthquake, then had a candlelit dinner together and danced together.
Before sleeping, they used the last box of…
Although these memories were somewhat blurry, Ling Xiao remembered these scenes.
“What a pity, it was just a dream after all. Forget it, time to go to work.”
Ling Xiao put on his clothes, finished washing up, and went out.
On the other side, Yang Linlin opened her eyes.
She looked around, panting heavily.
“Was it a dream?”
“Was it really a dream?”
Just then, her room door was knocked.
She heard an elderly voice calling affectionately from outside: “Linlin, breakfast is ready. Time to go to school for class.”
Hearing this familiar voice, Yang Linlin immediately got out of bed and opened the door.
The moment she saw her grandma, Yang Linlin couldn’t help but shed tears. She hugged her grandmother, crying out, “Grandma…”
Grandma was somewhat surprised.
But she still patted Yang Linlin’s back, comforting her: “What’s wrong? It’s okay, Grandma is here, Grandma is here.”
It took Yang Linlin ten minutes to gradually accept the fact that she had been dreaming.
That dream felt like it had lasted a very long time.
She dreamed that she was the only person left in the world.
No.
There was one other person.
Yang Linlin’s memory slowly returned.
That’s right, Ling Xiao.
Scenes of her life with Ling Xiao gradually surfaced in her mind.
“Both dreams were about him.”
Yang Linlin found it strange too.
After breakfast, she absentmindedly went to the bus stop and boarded the bus heading to her university campus.
She leaned against the window seat, her gaze dazed.
Suddenly, she saw the place where she had met Ling Xiao and bought fruit that day.
Yang Linlin kept staring in that direction, feeling an indescribable emotion.
Then she took out her phone and found Chen Ting’s WeChat.
Yang Linlin: [Tingting, I want to ask you something.]
Chen Ting: [Okay, go ahead, I’m just brushing my teeth.]
Yang Linlin: [Does that senior Ling Xiao have a girlfriend?]
Chen Ting: [Seems not, why? Do you like him? Oh my god!]
Yang Linlin: [No no, just curious.]
Chen Ting: [Don’t lie to me, you’re not the type to gossip. Hurry to school, I want to hear the gossip.]
Yang Linlin: [On my way.]
She put down her phone, looked out the window, and thought about last night’s strange dream.

Ling Xiao ran to the company.
Ever since being in the dreamscape, he had started intentionally exercising.
Although his physical condition wasn’t suitable for prolonged exercise.
As long as he completed the tasks in the dreamscape, his body would recover its health.
After returning to the company, he went into the restroom to change clothes.
As soon as he entered, he heard two people coming into the restroom.
One was Hui Ge, the other was their supervisor He Madong’s voice.
“Boss, I heard Manager Su is establishing a new game department,” Hui Ge asked curiously.
He Madong grunted in agreement: “This new game has great prospects. If it succeeds, we’ll be rolling in bonuses.”
“Then you must be the head of this game department, boss. Remember to bring me along when the time comes~”
Hui Ge said while buttering him up.
He Madong clearly enjoyed this process.
He hitched up his pants and said: “Don’t worry, no problem. In this company, I take the best care of us fellow townsmen. As long as you call me boss, I’ll definitely bring you along.”
“Haha, you’re the best, boss!”
“Let’s go, let’s go. Manager Su will probably have a meeting soon.”
“Alright!”
After they left, Ling Xiao came out of the restroom.
When he returned to his workstation, Lin Dong immediately whispered: “Hey hey, Brother Xiao, have you heard? Our company is establishing a new game planning department.”
“Yeah, I know,” Ling Xiao nodded.
“In our team, you’re the most capable. Do you think they might choose you to be the head?” Lin Dong asked curiously.
Ling Xiao smiled and said: “Impossible. Have you forgotten who our department head is?”
“Pfft, what ability does that hippo have? He just relies on connections,” Lin Dong complained.
At that moment, Secretary Dong sent a message in the group chat.”Emergency meeting in the main conference room in five minutes! Latecomers will be fined 50 yuan!”
“Holy shit!”
“Hurry up! Don’t get fined again!”
“This is brutal! I was just about to take a dump!”
All company employees rushed toward the conference room, terrified of losing 50 yuan.
