Chapter 567: Qiang Wei's Message



’12 luck, I don’t think I’ve encountered a player with such a high luck point before. Perhaps I should buy lottery.’ Han Fei noticed something else. He only obtained Fu Tian and Fu Yee’s absolute trust and their corresponding talents. Fu Sheng’s Rudimentary Talent, Resurrection was greyed out. He couldn’t use it. ‘It looks like I haven’t gotten Fu Sheng’s absolute trust, but things are progressing nicely.

‘Plus, I already have the Resurrection talent. I can send players out of the cryptic world. I can even bind their souls and take over their shells. That should be Resurrection’s real effect. Fu Sheng’s Resurrection can only work on the user. It is unique, but it is limited. No wonder it is only rudimentary.’

The three children hadn’t unlocked their full potential, so their talents were all at the rudimentary level. They would only grow stronger.

‘Unfortunately, I can only use the altar title inside the memory world.’ Han Fei really wanted the three luck points given to him by Fu Yee. Han Fei left the hostel and went to the lotto shop to buy all sorts of lottery tickets before he went home.

The sun came down the horizon, and Fu Sheng came back from ‘school’. He saw a big truck carrying Octopus’ furniture into the neighborhood. Octopus was in a celebratory mood because he purchased his dream house at a low price. He invited his team members to help him, and they would have a party at his new home.

Fu Sheng looked at the noisy crowd and thought about the thing Han Fei said if one had a home, who would want to be a stray?

“Come, let’s go.” Han Fei’s voice came from behind Fu Sheng. “We’ll go to our new home.” Fu Sheng nodded. He carried his bag and followed Han Fei. As they were about to leave, Fu Sheng stopped and turned to look at the house he had stayed in for years.

“What’s wrong?”

“We moved here after mom died. She doesn’t know we live here, and now we’re moving again.” Fu Sheng was talking about his biological mother.

“I’ll bring you to go visit her one day. I miss her too.” Han Fei and Fu Sheng left the neighborhood. Fu Sheng stopped at the convenience store and bought many bottles of yogurt. He placed them under the streetlight. “I’m moving. You need to take care of yourself.” Fu Sheng opened the caps and talked to the streetlight. Han Fei stood to the side quietly. He believed he saw a girl in a tattered school uniform. While Han Fei and Fu Sheng said goodbye to their ‘neighbors’, Octopus and his people came out of the neighborhood. “Damn, isn’t that Fu Yi? Leader Fu!” Octopus was surrounded by people. He laughed at Han Fei and Fu Sheng, “Haven’t you already moved? Why did you come back? Did you miss this place?” Octopus was annoying, but he was a good man because he helped Han Fei finish his mission. “Is that a bag of lottery tickets?” One of Octopus’ people saw the bag Han Fei was holding. “Fu Yi, you’ve fallen to rely on luck?” Octopus and his people laughed. The company’s former head designer became like this.

“Don’t laugh. What if he wins the lottery?” Octopus chortled. “Come, let’s go buy some drinks. We’re drinking until morning! Xiao Wang, do a headcount. Who is not here, call them!”

“Brother Zhao and Brother Chong have worked overtime two nights ago. I couldn’t contact them since then.”

“Then, ignore them!” Octopus led his cronies and left. Han Fei wanted to remind Octopus, but he feared ‘ruining’ their fun.

‘I’m just too kind of a person.’ Han Fei didn’t say anything. He grabbed the bag of tickets and took the bus to the new home. Han Fei started to check the lottery on the bus. 12 luck was ridiculous. He won basically every ticket, and the amount was quite high too. Fu Sheng was stunned. “This doesn’t make sense.”

“Seeing is believing.” Han Fei was having fun when his phone rang. He passed the tickets to Fu Sheng and answered the call.

“Leader, something happened at the company two days ago. The people for the Immortal Project disappeared after they worked overnight.” Brother Fake Plant was the caller. His voice sounded nervous.

“Don’t call me Leader. Plus, I have been fired, so I don’t care what happens to the company.” Han Fei’s only connection to the company was the horror dating sim game.

“Don’t hang up yet. I’m just curious.” Brother Fake Plant said carefully. “Leader, you have been telling us not to work overtime. Do you know anything? Now everyone at the company says you have to do with the scary female ghost.”

“Just because I have a lousy history, I have to be the bad guy? Plus, how did you know it’s a female ghost? You’ve seen her?”

“The surveillance cameras caught something. Look at them yourself. It’s scary.” Brother Fake Plant sent a series of footage to Han Fei. “Leader, don’t leak these things.”

Han Fei frowned as he clicked open the videos.

The company corridor was silent at night when the safety door opened on its own. The footage didn’t change, but a woman walked past the window. Han Fei paused and enlarged the frame. The woman’s face was twisted by hatred. She was looking for something. The office doors opened one by one. The woman finally entered Han Fei’s former office. Then something unexpected happened. Bloody handprints appeared on the window. The members of the Immortal project ran over when they heard the noise. The footage ended there.

“Leader, did you finish it?” Brother Fake Plant said, “I don’t believe in this thing, but people did g,o missing, and this footage hasn’t been tampered with.”

“What did the higher up say?”

“They don’t have time for us. Another big thing happened recently.” Brother Fake Tree sent Han Fei a message, “Unbelievable, a group of desperadoes kidnapped our city’s millionaire’s daughter!”

“Millionaire’s daughter?”

“She’s the genius investor, Du Zhu. She is also our company’s biggest investor. The whole company is a mess. The employees have to cooperate with the police, and the higher-ups have meetings daily to handle this.” Brother Fake Tree sighed. “To earn some funds, our dating sim has gained unprecedented attention. Because we’re their best hope.”

“That’s a good thing.” Han Fei was quite happy. He knew the company would die, but it had to release the game before it failed.

“But no one dared to stay and work! And we’re working on a horror game.”

“Don’t worry. The female ghost is already gone. You can worry about the others after the game is released.” Han Fei hung up after consoling Brother Fake Plant. He and Fu Shengarrived at their new home. Compared to their old neighborhood, this place was old and decrepit. The walls were mottled, and the place was dirty. If not for the school nearby, most tenants would move.

“We’ll only stay here for a while. Soon, we’ll move.” Han Fei didn’t like this place. He kept being reminded of the Manager Mission.

“It’s okay. This place… is not bad.” Fu Sheng nodded at empty spaces and kept talking to air. To leave a good impression on the neighbors, Han Fei signaled for Fu Sheng not to overdo it.

They arrived at their new home. They picked their rooms and began decorating. Everything overlapped with Han Fei’s memory. The room became just like the one from the Manager Mission.

‘Fu Yi killed Fu Yee and her mother and dismembered them here.’ Han Fei sat on the couch and looked at the room where he had ‘died’ more than forty times. When Fu Yi moved into this place, he was covered in despair and negative emotions. He became Du Zhu’s toy and lost his humanity.

Han Fei also moved here. He decreased many people’s hatred and had trust from his children. Everything was becoming better. Even though Han Fei would die on the same day as Fu Yi did, they would leave different legacies.

Han Fei rested for a while and went to help his wife and children. His phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number. He accepted it, and Wu San’s voice came. “Can you meet me? Qiang Wei sent a message from inside the hospital but none of us can figure it out.”

“What did it say?”

“It’s very short. It said No. 000 Perfect Personality.”

“Perfect Personality?” Han Fei’s expression shifted, “Where are you now? I’ll go find you.” Wu San gave an address. Han Fei hurried towards it. Half an hour later, he arrived at the small hill behind the school. The vantage point allowed a good view of the high school as well as Perfection Plastic Surgery Hospital and Starry Art Hotel, a few blocks away.

“Come on, stop hiding.” Han Fei walked into the half-finished pavilion. Wu San walked out of the darkness. “You’re the only one left of the 18 players?”

Wu San smiled sadly. “The others don’t trust you. They even believe you’ve caused this to happen to Qiang Wei. So they planned to do the rest on their own.”

These were all excellent players on the top ranking in Perfect Life. They were either rich or powerful. They had extremely rare talents or were extremely powerful. Their combined power was not to be trifled with. But they had a clear weakness. Once their center fell, the group turned on each other. No one was willing to follow the others.

After all, for most of them, Perfect Life was just a game. If not worried about the penalty, some of them would have committed suicide to get offline already.
