'When I don't have a job, all I can think about is work, but now that I have a job, all I can think about is rest. Poor me, I have to work day and night, I don't even have a day off.'
Some people were actors in the day but at night, they could be security guards, shop managers, patrolling teachers or even butchers or butchers.
After downing a large glass of water, Han Fei put down the book and started to exercise.
Ever since he started playing Perfect Life, Han Fei did not even drink soft drinks anymore. His healthy lifestyle did not befit a young man in his early twenties.
After a good rest, Han Fei gave Huang Yin a call at 11 pm. After confirming that Huang Yin was ready, Han Fei crawled into the gaming hub.
Before this, every time Han Fei logged into the game, it was like he was walking into an execution ground. He even had to prepare his funeral beforehand but this time, the pressure was much lighter.
Time ticked by. When the virtual screen at the edge of the city changed, Han Fei put on the gaming helmet.
There were only 24 hours left until Perfect Life's official server launch.
Blood descended and Han Fei's consciousness entered the red city.
As his consciousness descended, he saw a red shadow not far away from him. The 'person' was hugging an old man's head and squatting next to the altar.
'Singing? It's still there? '
Han Fei had seen it when he logged out of the game but when he logged back in, the singing was still there.
When he opened his eyes, Han Fei was already back at the place where he logged out.
He pushed open the bedroom door and saw the security guard, Hua Kui, and the 2 security guards of Apartment 1 bragging about how he had survived at Apartment 4 for so many years and had escaped death every single time. Therefore, he was the most suitable person to be the security leader of the Ziggurat.
"Han Fei?" After conversing with the people from Happiness Neighbourhood, they found out Han Fei's real name. "When did you enter the room? I remember there was no one inside. "
"What's the situation inside the building?" Han Fei sat down on the sofa and asked directly. The 3 security guards answered one by one. It was obvious who was the security leader.
"After the altar under the Ziggurat was destroyed, the giant black shell started to crack. Even though it's still emitting the aura of death, it's barely enough to envelop the Ziggurat. It can only help the building repair itself." Hua Kui was wearing a clean security uniform. He looked energetic.
The group exited the room. After a day of restoration, Block 4 had mostly recovered. The blood vessels left behind by the butterfly had turned into nutrients and were being reused by the tenants.
"The Butterfly is dead. There is no new manager in the building." Hua Kui said pointedly, "In terms of strength, Apartment No.1's Jumper Ghost is the scariest, but she has no intention of becoming a manager. She is completely insane. In terms of intelligence and charisma, I think you are the most suitable candidate."
After Hua Kui finished speaking, the other two security guards also nodded.
They all had a good relationship with Han Fei. If Han Fei became the new manager, their safety would be guaranteed. Besides, in terms of working style, Han Fei was indeed more reliable.
Han Fei walked down the corridor with the security guards. Occasionally, they would run into ghosts. The tenants would greet them when they saw them. It was hard to imagine such a harmonious scene happening in the cryptic world, even some of the model residential areas in real life would not be able to replicate this.
Han Fei took out Ying Huo's phone from his inventory. After Ying Huo's soul returned, his phone became Han Fei's.
Looking at the normal looking phone, after the system's appraisal, Han Fei realized it was a Grade F Rare Cursed Item, it was called the Death Group Chat Phone.
Normally, to obtain this Cursed Item, one had to join the Death Group Chat. One had to survive among a group of ghosts, it was incredibly difficult.
However, due to Han Fei's good soul accidentally entering Ying Huo's body, Han Fei gained the Specters' approval. That was how Han Fei obtained the Cursed Item. Even the Death Group Chat had been changed into the Ziggurat Tenants' Rights Support Group.
In the group chat, Han Fei asked the tenants about their future plans. He repeatedly emphasized that the residential area belonged to everyone and everyone here was a manager. He hoped that they would be willing to participate.
At other buildings, the tenants fought for the position of manager but Han Fei volunteered the concept of joint management. For the cryptic world, this was the first step in changing the rules.
Due to the existence of the Death Group Chat, the tenants could communicate with each other easily. During Han Fei's absence, the tenants started to investigate the Ziggurat. They collected all the traces left behind by the Butterfly and the Death Curse. They also recorded all the anomalies in the group chat.
Looking through the chat history, Han Fei noticed a few noteworthy things.
Firstly, inside the building, after the Butterfly detonated the armoire No. 4444, all the armoires in the Ziggurat had changed. Even though the main channel between the Nightmare World and the cryptic world was destroyed, there appeared to be a special connection between the Nightmare World and the other armoires.
Without the Butterfly's control, if someone got lost in the Nightmare World, they might be lucky enough to open the door of the Ziggurat and have a chance encounter with Han Fei. Of course, the chance of that happening was very small.
With the guidance of the male student and Ha Ha, the tenants also collected the remaining fragments of the altars inside the Ziggurat. For the natives of the cryptic world, altars were something that should not be left around. Even the fragments had to be kept safe.
Han Fei did not believe in God but he would not purposely go against the altars. From the information he had so far, only the Unspeakable had the right to build altars for themselves in the cryptic world. In other words, behind every altar, there was an Unspeakable Being.
"We should keep these fragments, perhaps one of us will be able to use them in the future." At the last moment of the final battle with the Butterfly, the Butterfly had used the power inside the altars. Han Fei even placed his heart inside the altars to worship them. It appeared like the altars had something to do with the Hatred World.
Through the group chat, Han Fei found Ha Ha, the female streamer and Wei Youfu at the top floor of the Ziggurat.
The Butterfly's consciousness dissipated. The managers of the Ziggurat became Ha Ha and the female streamer while Wei Youfu and Xu Qin represented the Happiness Neighbourhood.
The residents of the two neighbourhoods would not meet each other for the rest of their lives but because of Han Fei, they had acknowledged each other's existence. At least they would not attack each other for no reason.
"Looks like you already know each other, then I'll save the introductions." When Han Fei entered the room that the Butterfly once lived in, he noticed the strange atmosphere. The weakened Wei Youfu was lying on the sofa. Ha Ha propped his chin on his hand and kept looking out the window.
Only the female streamer and Xu Qin were left in the living room. One was arranging her red dress while the other toyed with a table knife that was wrapped in human skin.
Perhaps because the Butterfly had once lived in this room, the room looked especially creepy. The atmosphere was heavy and the temperature was much lower than outside.
"Even though the Butterfly's soul has dissipated, after its death, the black fog that shrouded the Ziggurat has also dissipated. This area will not return to how it used to be." Ha Ha broke the chill in the room. "Before this, our enemy was the Butterfly but in the future, we'll have to face all kinds of scary existences. There might even be other Unspeakable beings passing through this place."
Pulling back the curtains, the group looked out.
The Ziggurat was 24 floors tall, it was the tallest building in this area. But looking down, there were many buildings that were even taller and stranger than the Ziggurat.
Han Fei's group was living in a corner of this cryptic world, his eyes could not even see the whole picture of the darkness.
"To deal with the possible danger, I suggest that we work together." Wei Youfu's face was pale and his body was almost translucent. "Just like how Happiness Neighbourhood's Block 1 and Block 2 worked together, we should gather our scattered forces together. That will be beneficial to all of us."
"I agree. Zhuang Wen is the only hatred left in the Ziggurat and she has fallen into madness. We can't communicate with her. Ignoring the ghosts from other areas, if Zhuang Wen suddenly goes berserk, we won't be able to control her. " Haha, what he said was the truth. In the past, his heart was filled with the desire to die, and he fought with the thought of dying every day. He did not expect that after meeting Ying Huo and Han Fei, he would start to think about the future.
"There's one more thing that I have to tell you." Ha Ha said after a pause, "I have a feeling that something big is going to happen. The ghosts around us have suddenly become more active, that's not normal."
"Blindly defending ourselves will only increase the fear. We need to move out to explore more areas." Han Fei's tone did not sound like that of a level 15 newbie player. "I already know the general location of Song's hiding spot. He was heavily injured by the death aura and the altar inside the Ziggurat, now is the best time to approach him."
After Han Fei said that, the rest stopped talking. They all stared at Han Fei.
Song was an unspeakable existence. Even talking about him could result in curses but Han Fei was openly discussing how to deal with him.
Comparing the map left behind by the previous manager, Han Fei pointed out the window. "Song is at the outermost street of the Ziggurat. The previous manager of Happiness Neighbourhood called that street Ancestral Hall Street."
With a dry cough, Ha Ha said hesitantly, "You'd better think about this carefully."
"There's a very important reason why I entered the Ziggurat, that is to find the previous manager of Happiness Neighbourhood. His altar and memory fragments have all been taken away by Song, so I have to find Song." Han Fei believed that Song was one of Fu Sheng's 3 children, so he should know some of Fu Sheng's secrets.
"I understand that, but you have to understand that between Lingering Spirit and the Unspeakable is Hatred. After Hatred was reborn in the black flame, it can be divided into 3 different levels, light red, red and dark red. No matter how heavily injured Song is, he is not someone that we, Lingering Spirit, can fight against. Even someone as powerful as the Butterfly had to rely on the altar inside the building and the death aura that has been accumulating for god knows how many years to force Song to retreat. " Even though Ha Ha's username was Ha Ha Ha Ha, in reality, he was an extremely pessimistic 'ghost'.
"After Song recovers, he'll definitely come back to us. Do you want to deal with Song once and for all? Or do you want to live in fear of Song forever? " Han Fei did not have much fear of the Unspeakable in the cryptic world. Relying on the fact that he could log off, he had already toyed with Song several times.
The Butterfly had heavily injured Song. With the Unspeakable's personality, it would definitely come back for revenge. The tenants of the Ziggurat had no chance of surviving Song's attack.
"Fine, give us a time, we'll accompany you to Ancestral Hall Street!" Ha Ha finally made the decision.
"Then let's set it for tomorrow night. The later we drag this out, the better Song will recover." Another important reason Han Fei wanted to deal with Song was the manager mission issued by the system. To officially become the manager of the Ziggurat, he had to find the altar and Fu Sheng's memory fragments.
Other than that, when Han Fei encountered Fu Sheng's memory fragments for the first time, Fu Sheng had helped him open both sides of the black box. Han Fei wanted to continue opening the black box to see what was inside.
After finalizing all the details, Han Fei led the people from the Happiness Neighbourhood and the still unconscious Feng Ziyu out of the Ziggurat. After all, this was not their home.
All the neighbours and friends walked together. Han Fei's group was like a group of ghost soldiers. Within the Ziggurat's area, there were basically no ghosts that would come to cause them trouble.
"This feels like a game." Han Fei looked at the streets that were shrouded in darkness. Occasionally, a ghost would flash across the buildings that were shrouded in Yin energy. 'In the future, I'll be visiting more places, I'll be bringing hope to more natives.'
After returning to Yi Ming Private Academy, Han Fei told the students and teachers about the Butterfly's death. That earned him a huge amount of 'reputation points'.
After getting the approval from the teachers and students, Han Fei decided to do the most important thing of the day.
He opened the door of one of the classrooms and used his manager talent — Spirit Farer.
The blood red door slowly opened and Han Fei called out Huang Yin's name.
At 2 am that night, Perfect Life's beta test would be closed. Han Fei needed to pull Huang Yin into the cryptic world before he could log into the game.
The blood sea churned and Yin energy swirled. When the door slowly closed, a dumbfounded figure appeared at the corner of the classroom.
What was meant to come had come.
"Brother Huang, these 2 classrooms are also prepared for you. They're used to store all the quest items and items." Han Fei pulled Huang Yin up from the ground.
"This is not the first time I've been here but I'm still not used to it every time." Leaning against the table, Huang Yin looked around carefully. The tables and chairs were toppled over at midnight and a child's face would appear at any moment from the window.
"Why don't you take out everything from your backpack first?" Han Fei urged. "There's something more important to do later."
"By the way, what's your relationship with the school's management? How come they don't even care if you're borrowing a classroom? "The quest items that Huang Yin had moved last time already filled up the entire classroom.
"That's the power of networking."
Han Fei and Huang Yin arranged the quest items neatly. Huang Yin's path to level 50 was already paved.
Other than the quest items, Huang Yin also collected all the rare items that the players could get their hands on. For the players, these items were useless so Huang Yin got a great bargain.
Extremely valuable antiques, weapons, legendary food and potions, rare items and skills, even the land deeds and business contracts were all taken care of by Huang Yin.
From a certain perspective, Huang Yin was a reliable adult.
After he was done, Huang Yin looked at the few classrooms that were filled up. There was a sense of fulfillment in his heart.
He wiped away the sweat on his forehead and put his arm around the shoulders of the person next to him. His voice was tinged with pride. "Now that you mention it, I'm looking forward to the server opening. The number one player in Perfect Life, that's not bad at all. "
There was no reply. Huang Yin subconsciously turned to the side. He saw his arm was resting on the shoulder of an old man. The man was wearing the security uniform of Yi Ming Private Academy. There was a mountain of ghosts pressed against his body. Countless ghosts were staring at Huang Yin.
"Young man, it's been a few days but you look much more energetic."
While the old man chased Huang Yin out of the classroom, Han Fei, who hid behind the door, stared at Huang Yin. For the first time, he used his Grade E active attack power — Curse!
"You're a coward, you'll collapse at the slightest movement. You're afraid of the dark, confined spaces, you like to let your imagination run wild. You don't even have the courage to go to the toilet alone …"
Whenever Han Fei said something, a black curse would appear on Huang Yin's chest. The densely packed curses wove around Huang Yin's heart and it triggered his fear to the maximum.
Hearing the screams echoing in his ears, Han Fei knew the curse had taken effect.
To prevent Huang Yin from getting hurt, he led the scary neighbours from the Happiness Neighbourhood to follow behind Huang Yin to protect him at all times.
