Chapter 398

This was the first time Han Fei saw so many unique talents. The torment Huang Yin received had repaid him in a different way.

“Brother Huang, why are you running? You know you can’t outrun me.” Han Fei finally caught up to Huang Yin. They talked for some time before Huang Yin slowly calmed down. “The things you need are all in the classrooms. I’ll go with you. When you have all the necessary items, you better go back to the surface world. The OB just started, we can’t waste even a second.”

Staring at Han Fei, Huang Yin’s eyes slowly focused. “Okay, okay, I’ll leave after I get my things.”

Huang Yin started to search for mission items inside the classrooms. Huang Yin hadn’t leveled up his inventory so he only took the key items. He took the mission objects that would help him reach level 10 and then grabbed several business and land contracts. Finally he stopped beside a bloody tooth.

“What’s wrong?”

“This tooth is the mission item to trigger the hidden mission for the profession of Blood Doctor. It was Feng Ziyu who told me that. The game finally enters OB but he’s not coming back anymore.” Huang Yin was saddened. He placed the tooth into his inventory. “Initially I was quite averse to the profession of Blood Doctor but now, I want to become one. I’ve prepared a lot for it as well.”

“Blood Doctor will lower the NPC’s affection towards you, are you sure you want to become a Blood Doctor?” Han Fei wanted to tell Huang Yin that Feng Ziyu was still around, he was just unconscious. But then again, in real life, Feng Ziyu was indeed gone forever.

“I’ve already considered that, so I bought a mask that could shield me from NPC detection during CB.” Huang Yin shared his plan. “I’ve also prepared many identities for myself, there’s business mogul, real estate CEO, and others. In the morning, I’m a kind doctor but at night, I’ll be the Blood Doctor. I’ve even planned to join the group of NPC managers, to climb towards the highest rung of virtual city management.” Normally speaking, these were impossible for a normal player because they would exhaust too much of a person’s spirit and mental power. However, it was different for Huang Yin. Grade A talent, Nightmare allowed Huang Yin to adapt to all the professions that would utilize Intelligence easily. The man had evolved through pain.

Perfect Life was an Iyashikei game, the photon computer was always guiding the players towards positivity. Many activities were related to Happiness Points and satisfaction. An overly ambitious person would not have much drastic increase in their Happiness Points in their pursuit of fame, power and wealth. For that, they would have to change themselves first. However, Huang Yin’s starting point was so low. No other player would have a starting Happiness Points of -100. In other words, even if Huang Yin just rose back to a normal player’s Happiness Points, the increase would have been miraculous enough.

After understanding Huang Yin’s thoughts, Han Fei became excited about Huang Yin’s future.

“Brother Huang, I can only use the power to send you back to the surface world once per night. While you complete your plan, you have to remember to upgrade your inventory.”

“Don’t worry.” Huang Yin already stuffed his newbie inventory. The man in the newbie apparel looked confident, “I don’t know whether you’ll be able to see the rankings in the surface world or not but I promise you after the day breaks, the name on the first place of all the rankings will be mine.”

Huang Yin would not settle for anything else than first place, after all, this was a man who had once defeated the Butterfly.

Before Han Fei planned to send Huang Yin back with Resurrection, Huang Yin suggested adding Han Fei as friends so that they could communicate more easily. Then something surprising happened. Huang Yin was unable to send Han Fei a friend request, it was like Han Fei didn’t exist within the photon computer’s control and the system design.

When Han Fei sent Huang Yin the friend request, Huang Yin didn’t receive any notification. However, Huang Yin’s name did appear in Han Fei’s friend list. Seeing the greyed out image of Huang Yin in the friend list, Han Fei felt it looked more like a deceased portrait.

Han Fei could be anyone’s friend without asking for their permission. They couldn’t even refuse being Han Fei’s friends. As the game entered OB, Han Fei noticed the power of his account grew. He had access to many mod powers.

Using Resurrection, Han Fei sent the glowing Huang Yin back to the surface world. Then Han Fei had his own things to do.

“Why isn’t there a ranking in the cryptic world? If the Happiness Points ranking doesn’t work, at least we can have a Despair Points ranking.”

Leading his slightly injured neighbours, Han Fei pulled out Firefly’s phone and hurried towards Ziggurat. When he arrived, Han Fei received good news.

Feng Ziyu finally regained consciousness! Han Fei led Feng Ziyu into the fixed elevator and came to the underground for Feng Ziyu to meet his company senior. When Feng Ziyu first joined the company, it was this senior who had been looking after him. When the company said the senior had gone insane, Feng Ziyu had his suspicions. Even after he resigned, Feng Ziyu never stopped his investigation.

They were people of great kindness and empathy. Han Fei couldn’t change the things in real life, all he could do was to protect everyone in the cryptic world.

Feng Ziyu was meant to be a sacrifice for Butterfly. To consume his humanity, Butterfly retained Feng Ziyu’s memory and emotions. This meant that Feng Ziyu wasn’t that powerful, in fact he didn’t look that different from a normal person. He didn’t even realize that he was dead.

“I’ve been inside Butterfly’s Room 4444 before. When it returned from nightmares to the cryptic world, it needed to feast on sacrifices to regain its power. I believe sacrifices with weaker power have already left the cryptic world when Butterfly died.” Han Fei told Feng Ziyu. “When I find a path to leave this place, I’ll send you to the surface world to help Huang Yin.”

“Actually compared to the boring virtual power, I prefer this place.” Feng Ziyu’s words surprised Han Fei. “Really, this place feels realer than reality.”

“Then you should stay at Ziggurat and familiarize yourself with the security team and the environment first.” Han Fei led Feng Ziyu to find Hua Kui. On the way there, they ran into the fat uncle who had already changed into the security team uniform. Feng Ziyu was startled to see his own neighbor working as a security guard in the cryptic world. “Why are you here?”

The uncle was rather afraid of Han Fei so he could only glare daggers at Feng Ziyu. After assigning Feng Ziyu a post, Han Fei started to gather everyone from Ziggurat to prepare to head to Ancestral Hall Street.

After everyone arrived, Han Fei hurried to the 4th floor of Building 4.

Big Sin managed to steal away half of Butterfly’s broken heart. It had been feeding on it until now. Han Fei was curious about the changes to Big Sin. However, the cryptic world was different from the surface world, to know the changes to one’s pet, one had to touch them. Han Fei was quite worried that Big Sin’s Soul Poison had gained another new evolution.

Han Fei led the tenants towards the 4th floor. At the same time, a rather well-preserved dresser in Room 4044 started to rock. After some time, the dresser door was pushed open. A young man in the same newbie outfit as Huang Yin walked out humming a song. He had headphones on his ears. He was so immersed in the song that he didn’t notice the wooden rim of the dresser door. He tripped and fell. Then he looked around.

“What the fuck?!”
