June 3rd, 00: 07 am.
Feng Bujue left Xiao Tan's conference room and returned to his log-in lobby.
Earlier, he had been discussing the renovation of the conference room with Passing Rain, Xiao Tan, and Laughing Soul. They had decided to use Xiao Tan's conference room as their meeting place. Therefore, things like the sofa, coffee table, and luxurious conference table, they bought him everything he needed. They even changed the wallpaper and flooring to make them more pleasing to the eye. After all, money was never a problem for a tycoon.
Now, the few of them were quite familiar with each other. Even if they did not meet at Thriller Paradise, they would chat online. They had talked quite a bit about the Tournament for the Best a few days ago. Therefore, when they went online that day, the four did not bring up the tournament itself. Instead, they talked about the prizes.
After Feng Bujue showed off his prize, he distributed the four Sleuthing and Medic Mastery skill cards to his teammates. As for the Sentinel skill … he planned to sell it at the shop. For a skill like that, even if he sold it at the Auction House, he would have to pay the commission.
Xiao Tan's prize aside, it was time to return to Feng Bujue.
Since Brother Jue was now level 43, far ahead of his three teammates in Underworld Frontline, if they queued up together, it would increase the difficulty and decrease the reward. Therefore, he would not have the chance to queue up with them for the time being.
He had already made a plan. In the coming days, he would reduce the number of times he logged into the game and try his best to only play Nightmare mode scenarios. If he could not clear them, then so be it. Even if he could clear them, he would not choose EXP but equipment as the reward. After all, he had the Magical Disintegrator, so it did not matter whether the equipment was bound or not.
Now that he had said that, I'm sure everyone had a feeling that what was coming next was …

Unequipped skill: Wicked King's Flame Purgatory
Compared to before the Tournament for the Best, Feng Bujue's stats had not changed that much. The main difference was that his Skill Points had increased, his Fighting mastery had increased by one level, he had taken a legendary item from Soul Snatcher, and other than that … his skill bar had overflowed.
After some consideration, Feng Bujue decided to temporarily remove Wicked King's Flame Purgatory from his skill bar. Even though this was an active attack skill, Brother Jue had plenty of attack skills, so there was no need to bring too many with him. Perhaps when his level was higher, he could give up on the passive skill, Alchemist's Bite, but for now, it was better to bring it with him.
"Okay …" Feng Bujue arranged everything and stood before the touch screen. "The Nightmare Scenario that I haven't seen in a long time …"
After a few simple steps, the system announced.
"Feng Bujue, Level 43
"Please select the game mode that you wish to join.
"You have selected Single Player Survival Mode (Nightmare), please confirm.
"Confirmed, generating scenario …"
"Downloading, please wait a moment."
The elevator … moved.
"Welcome to Thriller Paradise," a low female voice said.
"Download complete. You are currently playing Single Player Survival Mode (Nightmare).
"A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance of triggering hidden side quests and special world-building.
"Reward for clearing the scenario: Puzzle Card x2
"Playing the scenario introduction soon. The game will start after that."
"Hmm … It feels like it's moving downward …" Feng Bujue mumbled as he listened to the system announcement. "This way of entering … there won't be an introductory cinematic, right?"
But he was wrong …
Sha sha sha!
Suddenly, the touch screen next to Brother Jue … changed on its own. An irregular, wavy black and white pattern appeared on the screen, and it was accompanied by a strange, rustling sound.
In the eighties and nineties, television sets that used antennas to receive signals would often show this kind of image. But after the technology of the CRT, even if the television had no signal, the most it would show was a thin, regular snowflake. Something like this … would be hard to come by anymore.
However, Brother Jue had watched his fair share of old movies, so naturally, he had seen this before because there were many similar scenes in horror movies …
"Sha … you … sha sha … sha … again …" In the strange and blurry image, there was a voice. It sounded like a man's voice. "Sha … you're late …"
Feng Bujue walked toward the screen with caution. He frowned and leaned closer to take a look. "Is this the plot introduction?"
"Tonight, you're late again," the voice said. The voice continued. His words were still very vague, but fortunately, the translation function of the game menu was triggered, and very considerately provided subtitles.
[Obviously, you're a terrible night security guard.]
"First, you can't even perform the most basic task of being on time.
"Second, you're always slacking off. You don't do any patrols at night and hide in the security room to sleep.
"Also, you flirt with the night nurses and female doctors whenever you have the chance.
"No one likes you, Lester.
"You're a sloppy, casual, unscrupulous, irresponsible guy.
"Your handsome face can leave a good first impression, but within three sentences, this impression will be defeated by your lewd words and actions.
"Tonight is your last night on duty here. Of course, you don't know this yet. Let me tell you … the human resources department has decided to fire you, and you will be replaced by a gentleman who is about to retire. He was injured in the war, and his left leg is a bit lame, but everyone thinks he can do a better job than you.
[Now, go finish your job, or rather … finish your last shift. Do whatever you want.]
