Han Fei knew his plan very well. After adding the skill points, he added the remaining attribute points to his mental power. His mental power rose to 7.
'Now I should be able to control the paper dolls longer.'
With just one point of brainpower, Han Fei noticed that his brain seemed to be working faster. His mind was able to think clearly and he rarely felt like he was stuck. Other than that, he noticed that his memory seemed to have been enhanced.
'Both stamina and intelligence are important but unfortunately, attribute points are too scarce. I can't have my cake and eat it too.'
Mental power could extend the time he could control the cursed objects, stamina could help Han Fei escape faster. When he started to increase his mental power, that was when his mentality started to change.
Climbing out from the zombie pit, Han Fei left the hostel and returned to the convenience store.
Twin Flowers was already done. Han Fei was not in a hurry to log out of the game. He led Weep and Lee Zai to the convenience store.
For a whole night, the 3 residents from Happiness Neighbourhood brought warmth to the nearby businesses.
Han Fei also noticed a problem. It was very difficult for a wraith to maintain their sanity. After Weep consumed a portion of the ghosts, he would suddenly go berserk. He would tear at his own body and wail loudly.
Lee Zai also uncontrollably transformed into Lee Huo during the process of consuming the ghosts. He even fought with Weep.
The more ghosts he consumed, the harder it was for him to maintain his sanity. When both Weep and Lee Zai were on the verge of losing control, Han Fei led them back to Happiness Neighbourhood.
Both Lee Zai and Weep's power level had increased. Their friendliness towards Han Fei increased as well. Most importantly, with their help, Han Fei managed to complete a few more low level normal missions.
Grade G Missions corresponded to levels 1 to 10. Before Han Fei reached level 10, Grade G Normal Missions provided quite a lot of EXP. However, other than some consumable items and EXP, these missions did not provide any other rewards.
'I've been playing other games for so many days already but I'm still so far away from level 10.'
Han Fei stood beside the window of Room 1044. Looking out at the city shrouded in darkness, he was reminded of the words of an old man — 'If there is no torch in the future, I will be the only light.'
The old man at the hostel gave Han Fei a deep shock. Many people in this cryptic world were not completely hopeless at the beginning. They were slowly assimilated into this world and turned into monsters. They were initially kind people.
"Is it really possible for this world to be cured?"
He also wanted to be the hope of others, but it was really too difficult. It was not easy to live.
His head was heavy and his body tired. Han Fei leaned against the window and turned back to look at the deeper part of the haunted house. Then he chose to exit the game.
Blood dripped down the dark sky like splashed paint. Han Fei slowly lost consciousness.
He removed the gaming helmet and the sun shone on his face. He looked at the clock on the wall, it was already 10 am.
"The main reason I haven't been driven mad is probably because I can return to reality. I have a specific goal every day, and that is to exit the game alive."
The warm sunlight caressed Han Fei's face like a lover's hand. He had never felt such warmth from the sun before, it was just blinding.
Covering himself with the quilt, the exhausted Han Fei unknowingly fell asleep.
At 3 pm, Han Fei was woken up by a knock on his door. He instinctively reached for the taser under his pillow.
He did not have many friends, the only ones who had visited him were the police.
Han Fei sneaked to the door. He looked through the peephole and saw Director Jiang and the floor manager standing outside.
Opening the door, Han Fei was confused. "Why are you two here?"
"Big brother! We've called you more than 20 times already but you refused to answer so we had no choice but to come here! "The floor manager smiled bitterly.
"Since the movie is over, I switched my phone to silent. I'm going to take a good rest."
"Hurry and change into a fresh set of clothes. Sister Long has contacted the biggest video streaming platform in the country. Tonight, our movie launch will be streamed live on their website. They will be showing the latest trailers and promos." Director Jiang sighed helplessly when he saw Han Fei. "You're the main character of this movie, you can't miss the launch!"
"We just wrapped up the movie yesterday and we're already holding a press conference today? Is the post-production done? "
Normally, a movie launch would be held a week before the event and many guests and leaders would be invited. However, Twin Flowers was a small budget movie, it was nothing compared to those big blockbusters.
"We don't have much time. We edited the movie as we went along, we even outsourced some of the editing." Director Jiang had dark circles under his eyes like he had not had a good rest for a long time. "If we miss the schedule, all the money we've invested will be wasted. Furthermore, you're so popular now, we can't miss this opportunity."
Han Fei ran into the bathroom to wash up. Then he changed into a new set of clothes. "Let's go."
"That's all you're going to wear?" Director Jiang held his forehead. "How about I get someone to fetch Meng Changan's costume?"
"That's fine, it's comfortable." Han Fei did not mind. His way of managing his image was to let nature take its course.
"Even though we didn't invite any important guests, it's still a very formal event. What … what did you shove into your pocket?" Director Jiang stopped midway as if he had seen something out of place.
"The baton."
"You're bringing this to the launch?"
"Yes." Han Fei's answer was simple and direct like this was nothing out of the ordinary.
Director Jiang did not know what to say. He led Han Fei and the floor manager to the designated car and headed straight to the venue.
Half an hour later, when Han Fei arrived at the venue, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.
The projectors and advertisements outside the venue were all about Secret Urban Romance. The parking lot was filled with cars and there were many young people lining up with their idols' names.
"They've booked the main venue while we're at the side venue. Actually, it doesn't really matter. Online livestreaming is about popularity, it's not about the liveliness of the venue." Director Jiang's voice was laced with bitterness. He was dissatisfied with the venue's arrangement. They only gave the crew of Twin Flowers a smaller venue.
The car stopped at the entrance of the side venue. When Han Fei got down from the car, no one saw him as a celebrity. In fact, they thought it was a staff car.
It was not until Han Fei reached the entrance and the security asked him to show his work ID that Director Jiang hurried over to explain.
"Han Fei, these are the few questions you need to answer. Go backstage and memorize them. Then we'll rehearse as soon as possible."
Director Jiang went to communicate with the host while Han Fei went backstage.
Zhan Yueyue and Mian Nian were there but compared to them, Han Fei appeared more relaxed. He glanced at the questions and went back to thinking about the game.
At 8 pm, the livestream officially started. This was Han Fei's first time showing his face in front of the public.
Waves of applause came from outside the curtain. When Han Fei heard the host call his name, he took a deep breath and walked towards the spotlight.
