This was the last scene that the scenario left for Feng Bujue. After reading it, he was teleported. When he returned to the log-in lobby, the screen showed him the result.
"The scenario has been completed. Calculating reward.

"Calculation complete. Please continue."
"Hey! What kind of scam is this? " After Feng Bujue was teleported, he did not pay much attention to the result on screen. Instead, he could not help but yell, "This ending might as well have a caption that says' Hirata Shuichi died peacefully in prison '! This sort of standard horror movie ending scene is too depressing! Based on normal logic, wouldn't the ending be … Hirata, who just graduated from university, returned home to get married with Miko, and then they were both killed by ghosts? Are you kidding me?! "
He huffed and puffed at the screen. He had cleared the scenario, but he did not feel relieved at all. He did not feel the sense of accomplishment from clearing the Nightmare scenario. If anything, he felt quite depressed.
But Feng Bujue was, after all, Feng Bujue. He soon calmed down. As a young man who could withstand storms and setbacks, it was perfectly acceptable for him to occasionally play one or two games that caused him to feel depressed. He imagined himself as a speck of dust in the mortal world. He inhaled deeply and exhaled deeply …
"Sigh … I have to look at things on the bright side. This is a Solo Survival Mode on Nightmare difficulty, and the bonus EXP and Game Coins are the standard for a Team Survival Mode," he thought. "Plus, I can draw more equipment. I'd better forget about that horrible ending."
Actually, looking at the whole scenario, Feng Bujue was quite lucky to be able to clear the scenario. The scenario was filled with 'instant death flags', meaning that it was over once triggered. The black and white world earlier in the scenario was a test of the players' Terror Points. Even though Feng Bujue had lost his sense of fear, as someone who had experienced normal fear for the past twenty-three years, he knew very well how scary those things were. It was just that he had not reacted to them. If it were any other player, they might have made the wrong choice out of fear.
Since the scenario generated by the system was based on the player's characteristics, other than the newbie training, whenever Feng Bujue entered Solo Survival Mode, he would run into a decryption scenario. Accompanied by a sense of urgency and terror, there was almost no chance for a fair fight. Death flags that would kill him with one shot were everywhere.
It did not take long for Feng Bujue to realize that the idea of using his Terror Points to grind for EXP through Solo Mode was not as simple as it seemed. To gain EXP, clearing the scenario was the prerequisite. If he died in Solo Mode, he would not get any EXP. However, if he spent the same amount of time in a team scenario, even if he was killed midway, as long as his teammates cleared the scenario in the end, he would at least gain EXP that was proportional to his contribution. Comparing the two, it was clear that Team Mode was the better option. This was because in Team Mode, there was a higher margin for error. For example, in the scenario on Hunter's Island, there were five players. One had died, and the other had died, but in the end, they still cleared the scenario.
…
The familiar white light gathered, and two cards appeared inside the glass tube. The puzzle cards only had a name and did not have a detailed description of the item. Feng Bujue held the two cards in his hand. They were Puzzle Card: Sunglasses and Puzzle Card: Spin. Basically, they had nothing to do with each other. If they were combined with the Puzzle Card: Monkey that he already had, it would be …
The image that appeared in Feng Bujue's mind was a monkey wearing sunglasses, standing on one leg, and spinning on the spot.
Hmm … That should be impossible, he thought to himself.
However, since the card system had been released, he decided to give it a try. He took out the Puzzle Card: Monkey from his storage and held it in his hand together with the two new cards. He opened the menu and selected the 'combination' option.
The system notification he got was, "Unable to find a logical sequence." In other words, if two or three of the three cards were placed together, they could not be considered a set.
Therefore, Feng Bujue decided to store all three cards in his storage. After all, the ten slots in his storage were empty.
After all, a set of cards can be exchanged for excellent quality and above equipment with a 100% chance of success. Feng Bujue thought to himself.
He had searched for a set of cards at the market's Auction House, but he had not found any. Perhaps it was because the open beta had just started and the puzzle cards were rare to begin with. Or perhaps the players were wary of this and thought that the puzzle cards were one of the most effective ways to obtain perfect quality equipment, so it was not worth it to sell them. Another possibility was … As long as it was a puzzle card, it would be sold out the moment it was put up for auction. That was why Feng Bujue did not see it when he visited the Auction House.
In any case, Feng Bujue would not sell the puzzle cards so easily. The main reason was that he thought the card system was quite interesting, and he wanted to come up with a series to take a look.
"Fine, I don't believe that I'll be able to draw something like a baseball bat twice in a row." He walked to the other glass column with murderous intent. Before the system notification even finished, he had already chosen the equipment reward.
This time, the thing that was formed by the white light was definitely not a baseball bat or a rock. However, looking at the outline of the equipment, Feng Bujue had a bad feeling …
"Name: Stool of the Eighteen Bronze Statues (No. 5)
"Item Type: Weapon
"Quality: Poor
"Offense Points: Relatively Weak
"Element: None
"Special Effect: When attacking a humanoid creature, it will not be damaged and there is a certain chance of inflicting bleeding on the target.
"Remark: The stool can be hidden in a civilian's home. You can also sit on it to hide your killing intent. Since it is not considered a weapon, even if you are apprehended by the police, they will not be able to sue you. It is known as the best of the seven weapons in the market. "
The stool's surface was round and there was a ladder-shaped support at the bottom. It was made of iron and was black in color. Its appearance did fit the description of 'poor' in the game description. It was old and flawed but it was better than nothing.
