The little girl scratched her cheek. Was she the one who was described as having "nowhere to hide from ghosts and gods"? She was clearly being chased by them until she had nowhere to hide!

Thinking of Cheng Qing at the altar, she couldn't help but feel happy. If a small act could bring a glimmer of hope to a world trapped in death, she would never hesitate to do so.

Cheng Shuang even began to feel remorse. Knowledge is power, that's for sure!

I knew she must be well-read; even if she wasn't, she would still be able to spread her knowledge.

But considering her current situation, the girl quickly dismissed this unrealistic idea. It was already a stroke of luck that she had escaped without looking too disheveled; it was better not to ask for anything more.

The Lucky Gift Pack didn't contain as much as the Newbie Gift Pack, but it was a timely help for everyone at the rest stop.

Not only had the Du brothers run out of pills, but the others were in no better shape. With fervent anticipation, the little girl confirmed receipt of the gift package on the computer. With a ding, the group simultaneously lowered their heads and began joyfully tallying their spoils.

A mechanical voice immediately entered Cheng Shuang's mind, and as she flipped through her phone screen, a series of rewards came into view.

'Virtual Space Slots (Expandable): Three. Detected 20 existing space slots, already installed. Expanding to 23 slots. Note: Each slot can only hold items of the same attribute; equipped items cannot be removed.'

'Three red pills, five blue pills, one green pill, three white pills, and one black pill—all basic pills with no special effects and transferable.'

The explanation for the black pill is: to relieve negative effects, including basic detoxification.

'One card; please refer to the maintainer's documentation for details.'

Cheng Shuang's eyes sparkled as she stared intently at the black pill, unable to look away. She already had a purpose for using it, and it would be a waste to only use it for basic detoxification.

However, we need to check what the new card is.

A card suddenly floated in front of me. The back of the card wasn't colorful; instead, it had a line of text written on it: "A genuine prop card, extremely precious. Please cherish it."

[The Blessing of the God of Aretec: Aretec is the god of the realm of love and beauty, a representative of holiness and mercy. He often bestows upon believers great power, enabling all believers to overcome evil and transcend themselves. Due to its extreme rarity, the card does not display a level.]

Note: This is a valuable card that can increase the maintainer's skill level.

This commentary is way too serious!

It can be described as simple and unadorned.

To cherish this legitimate card, the little girl immediately used it on herself.

[Ding, it has been detected that the maintainer's mental strength is insufficient to support skill growth. The skill is now being upgraded, and mental strength is being increased.]

[Ding, done!]

Eating chocolate swept away Cheng Shuang's fatigue, and she instantly felt refreshed.

It was a feeling of spiritual elevation, even better than the effect of taking a whole pill, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from one's back.

Combined with the mechanical prompts, she recalled the strange state of being constantly exhausted and drowsy during her time at boarding school, and suddenly it all became clear.

It turns out that she can't just wake up the doll at will; activating the skill requires sufficient mental strength.

Cheng Shuang immediately checked her attributes and found that her mental strength had indeed increased significantly, from 180 to 200, and her skills had also been upgraded.

1. Pseudo-rare skill (can be upgraded): Awaken the doll - Touch me, touch me, touch me! Don't underestimate me just because I'm unconscious. A loving hug from you will give me an extra surprise!

Restrictions: The target to be awakened must be a non-living doll. Awakening a new doll after upgrading will not cause the side effect of a 50% reduction in skill probability, and will not affect the skill performance of other dolls. (Friendly reminder: Awakening multiple dolls beyond your own mental strength limit will cause a decline in various bodily functions, resulting in adverse effects such as drowsiness and coma, until your mental strength is adequately restored.)

Note: If you don't want to die in your sleep, you should be fully aware of your own limitations!

2. Rare Skill (Upgradeable): Junior Repairman - I love fixing everything that's broken and shabby, and everyone calls me the best repairman!

Limitations: Can be repaired once per day, with a 24-hour cooldown. Uses can be accumulated, gifted, but cannot be taken away. Overuse of this ability will have negative effects after the next cycle of reincarnation, with the negative effects being randomly selected.

Note: It is obvious that junior repairmen have more advanced repair skills than basic repairmen. Any maintenance worker with a brain can understand this!

Cheng Shuang: ...I feel like after using proper cards, the annotations on my skills have become a bit unorthodox...

Current number of dolls: 3

【Doll 1: Baby Bear - I am Shuangshuang's most trusted partner. Humans would say I am an indispensable childhood sweetheart. No other little fairy can replace me.】

I love her so much and I'm willing to protect her. Don't underestimate me just because I'm a teddy bear. With Shuangshuang's love and the support of that lazy rascal, I can become Shuangshuang's strongest support.

Skill (Upgradable): Shield - Intercepts attacks from rare and below (including skills and cards), with a 1-hour cooldown every 6 hours.

Skill (Upgradable): Immense Strength - Can tear apart protective shields of rare and below (including skills and cards), with a 1-hour cooldown every 6 hours.

Attributes: Cannot be transferred, cannot be discarded, cannot be damaged, cannot be taken.

Doll 2: The Sad Monster — Ah, I love Zai Zai. Although that big teddy bear won't let me call her Zai Zai, I really love Zai Zai, even more than when I'm sleeping. I can even give her my favorite pink candy ball... It's definitely not because of the big teddy bear's threat.

I am Shuangshuang's best assistant because I can see through the soul of any living being, whether it is pure or filthy. Even if a new doll comes, it cannot replace my importance. Every sigh of mine can give Shuangshuang a new life.

In this filthy world, my sighs are the most beautiful songs.

Skill (Upgradable): Gain the happiness of living beings, causing them to experience negative emotions such as sadness and depression, and trap them in hallucinations. Cooldown every 20 minutes for 12 hours. Limited to 2-4 target creatures. Ineffective against rare or higher mental skills and cards.
