The normal version of Perfect Life had removed the Ziggurat but the building in the cryptic world was still there. In fact, it became one of the scariest buildings in Han Fei's memory.
The mad tester from Immortal Pharma discovered the existence of the cryptic world and Fu Sheng at the Ziggurat. He killed all the tenants at the residential area. From his strange behavior, Han Fei suspected there might be a channel to the cryptic world inside the Ziggurat.
This was a very important discovery for him. If he could find the exit to the surface layer world in the cryptic world's Ziggurat, then he would be able to travel between the two worlds freely. That would give him an escape route.
Han Fei sat at the table thinking about the Ziggurat while Huang Yin and Feng Ziyu's focus was on Fu Sheng.
They believed the tester's madness had something to do with Fu Sheng. In the worst-case scenario, the tester might have been driven mad by Fu Sheng.
"Immortal Pharma's CEO has a big brother, he sure has hidden his identity well."
"Compared to the little brother, the big brother appears to be a scarier person." Feng Ziyu flipped through the information on his phone. "I was once one of the 'internet security experts' at Immortal Pharma. Ever since Brother Zhang's incident, I've been collecting relevant information but until now, I only have one piece of information. This Fu Sheng has undergone mental treatment before. Other than that, I can't find any other information about him, not even his picture. This man is like a ghost. There is a name but I believe other than the CEO, no one knows who he really is. "
"Could it be that Fu Sheng has been living in the game forever? From a technological perspective, with the breakthrough in human consciousness, virtual immortality is no longer a hypothesis. "Huang Yin took a sip of his coffee.
"That's possible, I even suspect the cryptic world is a place where they store the data of the dead." Feng Ziyu turned to Han Fei and Huang Yin. "The reason Brother Zhang lost his mind is because his mind appears to be occupied by many different consciousnesses. I have no idea where these consciousnesses came from, the only logical explanation is that there is a cryptic world inside the game."
Different from the players who explored the cryptic world on the internet, the 3 at the coffee shop believed in the existence of the cryptic world.
Feng Ziyu witnessed the process of his colleague going crazy. He saw everything with his own eyes.
Huang Yin stumbled into the cryptic world and experienced the horror firsthand.
As the owner of the black box, he was the most familiar with the cryptic world out of the three.
It was not easy for the three of them to meet in the vast sea of people.
"Perfect Life will start its OB in half a month. I plan to enter the hidden map again tonight." Huang Yin pointed at the information on his phone. "Now the key problem is, I still haven't figured out the trigger condition for the hidden map. Ever since I entered it last time, I haven't succeeded."
"I know the triggering conditions for all the missions in the game. We can try them one by one in the next few days."
"Alright." Huang Yin then took out 3 identity cards from his pocket. "In the future, if there's anything, we'll meet at this coffee shop. With these cards, you can enter the second floor directly. After the OB, the 3 of us can form a small team to explore the cryptic world. "
"Let's name the team Corner Coffee. We'll not bring up anything related to the cryptic world with anyone else in real life. Everything will be discussed at this coffee shop." Feng Ziyu turned to Huang Yin and Han Fei and then very selflessly shared some of his gaming experience. "Even though Perfect Life is a Life Sim that focuses on healing, the game also has a combat system that is similar to real life. When you're choosing your main profession, make sure you don't choose a profession that has zero combat power."
Then he signaled for Han Fei to pay attention to a spot on the screen. "Of the three of us, your combat ability should be the strongest. I suggest you choose the profession of Private Investigator. This profession has a high degree of freedom. The profession talent can increase observation, analysis and tracking ability. At the same time, it can strengthen your combat ability. It's very suitable for you. The prerequisite for becoming a Private Investigator is to participate in a case before level 10. I'll tell you the details of the case later. "
"What about me?" Huang Yin also wanted to hear Feng Ziyu's opinion.
"The profession of Doctor is very difficult to master and it has no combat ability. However, a Doctor is indispensable to a team." Feng Ziyu said after some thought, "I know of a very unique hidden profession that suits you very well. It'll be helpful to our exploration of the cryptic world but the difficulty of changing that profession is very high."
"What profession?"
"Blood Doctor." Feng Ziyu said carefully.
"I'm a medical student, how come I've never heard of this profession before?"
"Blood Doctor is a storyline character in the game. The NPC was originally a forensic doctor but due to some reason, he was fired and opened his own dental shop. His methods were clean and he was a kind and gentle person. He was very popular among the residents on the streets but he was actually a madman. He hunted the customers who entered his shop. After his plan was exposed, he still managed to escape. In the end, he became the most notorious criminal in the virtual city. " Feng Ziyu explained the game plot. "To become a Blood Doctor, you have to enter the dental shop before level 10 and personally capture the NPC."
"And then?"
"At the last moment of this mission, you can make a choice, hand the Blood Doctor over to the police or kill the Blood Doctor. After you choose to kill the Blood Doctor, he will curse you before he dies. " Feng Ziyu knocked on the table. "Normally, the mission is over at this stage and you can claim the reward directly. However, I know a special Easter egg. If you dispose of the Blood Doctor's body, you'll be cursed by the Blood Doctor and become the new Blood Doctor. You'll have to accept the fate that was originally planned for you. "
"Is it reliable? Why does it sound so dangerous? "A bitter smile appeared on Huang Yin's face." Blood Doctor Huang Yin, that sounds so weird. "
"After changing profession to Blood Doctor, your stamina and intelligence will increase. Blood Doctor has many talents, in any case, you have great potential."
"There's no free lunch in this world. You've gained so much, so there's a price to pay, right?"
"The price is that you might be arrested by the police if you wander around the city during the day. Since you've disposed of the original Blood Doctor's body, you might be the real killer at the dental shop." Feng Ziyu told Huang Yin all the mission details and he also revealed many of the game's secrets.
