"81, 82, 83."

Lulu's voice, talking to herself, came from one side.

Monica was dumbfounded: "Lulu, what are you doing here?"

"Stop talking, move quickly, or the Shadow of Darkness will punish you."

A hint of lingering fear flashed in Lulu's eyes. She rubbed her bottom with her wolf tail; she had been whipped hard on the bottom with a vine by the shadowy figure for provoking her earlier, and it still hurt a little.

"Huh? Captain, you're here too?"

Before Monica could figure out what was going on, a sharp, tearing sound rang out.

A man wearing a faceless mask and a black trench coat swung a thin vine in his hand and struck Monica's plump little bottom.

"ah!"

Monica quacked like a little duck, covering her bottom with one hand, her big eyes glistening with tears as she looked pitifully at the dark figure standing in front of her.

"Don't stop. Monica, 500 push-ups, Lulu, 1500. Anyone who stops will be beaten."

The dark figure coldly swung its vines through the air, creating a series of whooshing sounds.

If you keep hitting them, you'll leave hot, red marks on the two girls' bodies!

Although the Shadow in Darkness was reluctant to harm his team members, not doing so would greatly reduce the quality of his guidance.

Diamonds are not a small number, and he has to maximize the use of each one.

Clap clap, clap clap clap!

In no time, Monica's little bottom was swollen from being spanked, and she did push-ups while wiping away tears.

Time seemed to stand still in the dream. Monica felt that every second was like an eternity. She exhausted all her strength and only managed to do more than 200 before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

This time, the shadowy figure didn't scold her. Instead, it crouched down, gently stroked the girl's head, and said in a cold tone, "Keep trying a little longer."

Seeing Monica receive a pat on the head from the captain, Lulu hesitated for a moment before stopping as well. Her fluffy ears twitched, and her face flushed. "Um, I want one too..."

In her dreams, even if she acts impulsively, no one will notice.

The Dark Shadow smiled knowingly: "What a greedy teammate."

After saying that, he placed his other hand on Lulu's little head.

Those furry animal ears felt wonderful to the touch. Linda... no, now he was strictly the Shadow of Darkness.

I have to say, the feeling of playing with animal ears is just amazing!

Linda patted a girl's head with one hand, feeling happy to see them all, and she also felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Don't stop! If you want more, keep going. The faster you do it, the happier the captain will be!"

Linda looked at them encouragingly: "Yes, faster! The faster you move, the faster you'll come out!"

Only after completing the training content were Linda allowed the two team members to leave the dream.

...

Monica finished her 500 push-ups at almost the same time as Lulu.

Experience Points Exchange Coupons and Potential Guidance Coupons are now in effect.

After emerging from the World Tree, Monica had a vague feeling that she was about to break through. The 19th star in her spiritual world was faintly visible, only lacking the last bit of magic power.

In reality, Monica's sleeping body twitched.

Golden light fell on her body and also appeared in her dream.

Monica has broken through to level 19 Earth Mage!

You're just one step away from becoming a level 20 adventurer and mastering a terrifyingly powerful ultimate skill!

Lulu also gained a lot. From Linda's team member interface, we can see that Lulu's base strength increased by 20 points and her health increased by 100 points.

"We've become stronger?"

The two girls sat wearily on the ground.

Their cheeks were damp with sweat, and strands of hair clung messily to the corners of their mouths.

They looked disheveled, but their eyes were shining, and their two small mouths spoke in unison.

Linda smiled broadly; seeing his team members happy made him, as the team captain, feel joyful as well.

"Yes, you have become stronger, and this strength will carry over into reality."

A cold voice came from behind the white mask, emanating from the shadowy figure:

"Remember this well, this is your biggest secret, don't tell anyone. My existence is your cheat code, called the 'Heaven Rewards Diligence System'! Time flows much slower in dreams than in reality. One moment in a dream is one minute in reality, so you can cultivate and level up to your heart's content in the dream!"

system?

Monica and Lulu were dumbfounded. The fantasy things that only appeared in comic books had come to life in their lives.

“I have… the Heaven Rewards Diligence System…” Monica’s little face showed a hint of smugness as she lowered her head and secretly chuckled to herself.

A hint of disbelief flickered in Lulu's eyes. Comic books were for children; how could she, a seasoned adventurer, trust such naive things?

However...

This was the second time she had encountered the dark shadow in her dream; she had previously experienced an increase in power.

"Heaven rewards diligence... Is this my special talent?"

A wisp of gloom dissipated from Lulu's face.

The shadowy figure said calmly, "Yes, you are all chosen ones with systems, but remember—don't tell anyone. This is your biggest secret. Understand?"

"knew!"

"Um."

Monica and Lulu both nodded.

"Very well. But let me make this clear: whoever leaks this secret will have their ass ripped apart by my cane!"

With a wave of his hand, the dark figure caused the surrounding scenery to melt away like ink.

The dream disappeared.

Linda opened her eyes once again on the small bed in the rented room.
