Chapter 16 The Landlord's Ring
The neighbor's vicious curses soon disappeared, and he was dragged by the monster in the dark into a bedroom in the deepest part of the haunted house.
The house where Han Fei lived had two bedrooms, the deepest one of which was locked. He had previously done his sleeping task in another bedroom.
A living person just disappeared before his eyes. Han Fei would be lying if he said he was not scared. He was now very glad that he met such a helpful neighbor today.
If the neighbor on the sixth floor hadn't come to visit, I might have been the one being dragged deep into the bedroom.
"Why did the monster drag it into that bedroom ? What is hidden in that room?" Han Fei has not been to the locked bedroom yet, but he has one biggest advantage, which is that he can control his curiosity. He doesn't look at what he shouldn't look at, and doesn't go to places he shouldn't go.
The neighbor's screams gradually faded away. Han Fei looked at the bunch of keys in his hand and silently thought about the neighbor's inheritance: "After the monster brother calms down, I will try to see if I can get into the bedroom. It would be great if I can find the neighbor's keys."
Having finally completed the novice mission, Han Fei can now quit the game at any time, so he is full of confidence.
After simply cleaning the room, he sat at the door of the living room and began to check his property panel.
"Player No. 0000, please note! Each time you level up, you will gain a free attribute point. After level 10, you can choose a career!"
"Player No. 0000, please note! The novice mission "Watching TV" has been completed! Free skill points increased by 1, and the mission reward - the landlord's ring was obtained."
"The inventory function is unlocked, and mission rewards will be stored in the inventory first."
After seeing the information after the mission was completed, Han Fei was a little frustrated. He took a huge risk to complete the mission, but the reward didn't seem that good.
Han Fei first opened the inventory and took out the landlord's ring.
“Landlord’s Ring (G-level Blood Item): After the landlord passed away, his family members who loved him deeply made a ring with his ashes. The longing for him became a bridge between life and death. As long as you wear this ring, you can feel their presence.”
"They?" After looking at the item description, Han Fei roughly understood: "As long as you wear this ring, you can see ghosts?"
Han Fei tried to put the ring on directly, and the moment he put it on, he felt a chill coming from his fingers.
The closer you get to the bedroom in the deepest part of the haunted house, the stronger the cold feeling becomes.
"This ring can serve as an early warning. The more terrifying the ghost, the colder the ring will emit."
"It doesn't look impressive, but it's actually quite practical. As long as I wear this ring, I can avoid many dangerous areas."
Han Fei still didn't know what bloody items were. He had looked up information about perfect life before, but there was no mention of bloody items.
After studying the reward items, Han Fei looked at the free skill points and free attribute points he had obtained.
"I now have a free skill point, but the problem is that the two abilities I have are cooking and acting, neither of which has anything to do with combat."
After thinking for a moment, Han Fei used his skill points on acting. In this underworld game where ghosts are rampant, acting skills might sometimes play an unexpected role, just like when he faced Wei Youfu just now.
"Player No. 0000, your current acting skill level is Intermediate Level 2. When your acting skill reaches Intermediate Level 10, it will automatically advance to Advanced Acting Skill."
"It's still difficult to improve your skills, but the novice missions are just the most basic tasks, and the rewards are generally normal."
Before acquiring new skills, Han Fei decided to work hard to improve his acting skills. After all, he wanted to conceal his identity as a living person and integrate into the big family here as soon as possible.
Han Fei added the last remaining attribute points to physical strength without much consideration. His physical strength was originally only 4, which was too low. When he was trying to keep his neighbor, he almost ran away.
After his physical strength increased, Han Fei swung his fists a few times. He clearly felt that he had become more powerful and his movements were much smoother. "This is just a small increase. When my level goes up, maybe I can really run faster than a ghost!"
After being able to exit the game freely, Han Fei felt much more relaxed. Now he was in the mindset of truly playing the game.
Picking up the kitchen knife on the ground, Han Fei did not disturb the monster deep in the haunted house. He planned to go to the third floor to see Meng Shi first.
"The old lady herself is not a bad person. If I can help her to open up her heart, she will most likely agree with me."
Now he has a deeper understanding of this game. Other healing games are about healing players, but this game not only heals players, but also wants to heal NPCs. It is truly a rare "conscientious" game.
After opening the security door, Han Fei felt the coldness coming from his ring finger almost the moment he stepped out of the room. It was obvious that the corridor was not clean.
"I guess you'll run into ghosts a few times in this place just to get takeout, right?"
The coldness from his fingers was still acceptable, so Han Fei carefully entered the corridor with the kitchen knife.
He lived on the fourth floor and the old lady's house was on the third floor, so there was only one floor between them, but he did not dare to be careless.
The corridor was dead silent, but the weird thing was that the voice-activated lights on the sixth floor kept lighting up even though there was no sound at all.
Walking quietly downstairs, Han Fei stopped when he came to the middle of the fourth and third floors.
Squatting down slowly, Han Fei glanced upstairs through the gap in the stair railing. The voice-controlled lights on the sixth floor were still on inexplicably.
"Is there someone here or is there no one?"
Han Fei moved his feet and walked towards the third floor. When he was almost there, the coolness from the ring suddenly intensified.
"what's the situation?"
Relying on the fact that he could quit the game at any time, Han Fei did not retreat. He continued to walk down and saw that the door of the house opposite Meng Shi was opened.
The cracked Bagua mirror on the door shattered to the ground, and many of the talisman papers on the door were torn off.
"Is it because of the family across the street that Meng Shi hasn't opened the door?"
Han Fei bravely stopped at the door of Meng Shi's house. Before he knocked on the door, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill on his ring finger!
He turned his head sharply and found a child in the room opposite running towards him with a smile!
His nerves tensed instantly. In the blink of an eye, the child ran from the innermost part of the room to the door. Han Fei had no time to react and immediately chose to quit the game.
Blood red covered the world, and the neural connection was severed. When Han Fei was able to regain control of his body, he took off his gaming helmet.
Han Fei's hands were still shaking uncontrollably as he collapsed on the bed. "I have been careful enough, but if I hadn't had that ring just now, I'm afraid something would have happened to me. This game is really outrageous."
