NovelEnglishHan Fei had only seen the trailer for Perfect Life. He hadn’t really played it before. Now that he was there, he felt a bit sour. “Of course, one would feel happy living here.”
Han Fei took in the surreal world before him. He opened his arms to the wind. It felt great. “There’s no need to worry about ghosts or murderers. I can do whatever I want. This is the life.” Han Fei turned around. When he saw Wu Chang’s soul melting in the sun, he was pulled back into real life. “Don’t look at the sun!”
Han Fei removed his jacket to cover Wu Chang’s head. They rushed to hide under a tree. “Stay here. I’ll try to contact sfriends.” Han Fei opened the in-gchat. The chat, which was previously empty, was now exploding. Panic filled up the chat. “What to do? I’m quite nervous seeing so many people. Do I send written messages or voice messages? Should I add emojis?”
Han Fei was stumped.
“Found them.” Han Fei remembered Bai Xian and Jin Jun’s Id. He contacted them and called them to prepare a car. A few minutes later, Han Fei received the reply. Jin Jun and Bai Xian were trapped in the main hub. If they tried to leave the main city, strange flowers would grow on their bodies. However, they contacted the special NPC at Happiness Neighborhood. They would send the resources to Han Fei. They also warned Han Fei that he might not be able to leave the main hub after he entered the city.
Knowing that all the players were trapped in the main hub, Han Fei realized all his neighbors so that they could enjoy life under the sun. This world was not friendly to them. The sun would drain their power. Even so, everyone was happy. Even Lee Zai was enjoying the flowers with his brother.
“Should we get Little Eight to see a real flower?” Han Fei picked a flower for Wei Youfu.
“She appears to be scared. She doesn’t want to cout.” Wei Youfu placed the flower in his pocket. “This world is beautiful, but she was harmed in that beautiful world.”
“We can give her time.” Han Fei and his neighbors stayed for a while. Soon, the ground under them cracked, and the flowers wilted. The ghosts carried innate yin energy. When they were together, they changed the nature of the place.
“Should we… move to another tree?” As Han Fei’s group tried to move, a vehicle cfrom a distance. The leader was an old man. The carriage had the nHappiness Neighborhood on it. If other players saw this, they would move away because this team belonged to the first player neighborhood—Happiness Neighborhood. The elder saw Han Fei from a distance. He purposely looked away from Han Fei and shouted, “The supply and vehicles are here. Be careful. If you need more, contact me. I’ll find the supply and send them to the main hub.”Then, the elder took another vehicle and left. It seemed like he was purposely avoiding Han Fei.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“This NPC is quite special.” Han Fei had all his neighbors enter the car. He took the driver's seat and drove to the main hub. The ghosts stuck their faces to the window, curious about the scenery outside.
Two hours later, Han Fei saw the main hub. Majestic buildings stood on the horizon. The city was much bigger than any real-life city. According to the forum, this city could accommodate tens of thousands of people. However, currently, the main hub was now covered by a light grey mist. The city was corrupted by skind of energy as it slid toward the abyss.
“We’re here.” Han Fei stopped at the city gates, which were about 10 meters tall. Han Fei had a bad feeling. The gates were open, but there was no one around.
“We might not be able to leave once we enter this place. But we have to enter the city if we want to stop Dream.” Han Fei took the lead and entered the city with the vehicle.
Dream dust fell on them as they entered the city. They wanted to turn into butterfly patterns on Han Fei’s skin, but they were easily destroyed by the ghost tattoo. His neighbors weren’t affected. “The dream dust is meant for players.”
The wheels ran over the road. They eventually saw other players. The people who were normally smiling were now frowning.
“There is a new troop in town!”
“Whose troop is it? Are they crazy?”
“It’s Happiness Neighborhood! The first neighborhood!”
Players could chat through the lobby. Soon, many players gathered near the north gate. Everyone was in despair. The Happiness Neighborhood Troop gave them a small bit of hope. Perhaps they had the solution.
Without the message from Han Fei, Bai Xian and Jin Jun knew that Han Fei had arrived. They handed their coordinates to Han Fei. There were more surrounding players. Sof them recognized Han Fei. The famous horror actor led the troop. His presence was stronger than normal players. It was like he had brought a horror movie to real life.
The other guilds also came. They stared at Han Fei. They wanted more info.
“That’s Han Fei, right? How did he join Happiness Neighborhood? I hear that Happiness Neighborhood only accepts the best player. Is this police informant a good player too?”
“He looks much more handsin person. There’s a kind of dark beauty about him.”
“I heard that Han Fei is a gamer. He would stay at hto play games after work.”
People gossiped, and sstarted to find Han Fei’s non the rankings. Han Fei was not on any of the rankings. Many people suspected that Han Fei had hidden his name. There was a large crowd, but they didn’t block the way. Han Fei successfully cto the center of the main hub.
Huang Yin was not only the most powerful player but also the richest. He bought the best location in the main hub and built a temporary base for the guild. This temporary guild was already worth more than several second-rate guilds.
Han Fei handed black robes to his neighbors. After everyone was dressed, they entered the base. Millions of eyes looked at them. Everyone was curious about what the players of the first neighborhood looked like.
Figures appeared from the vehicle. Chills spread. The street felt like it was frozen. It was fine when it was just Wei Youfu and Lee Zai. When Wu Chang appeared, everyone felt like their souls had been taken away. After resting in the vehicle, Wu Chang’s black flhad been relit. He was a top Pure Hatred. Even though he was in the cryptic world, normal people couldn’t fight him.
“What kind of monsters are these?”
“No wonder they’re the first neighborhood. They have probably gathered the elites from all walks of life.”
The supply was moved into the base. Then, the door closed.
“Take a seat. Treat this as your second home.” Jin Jun had the Npc serve various foods. He and Bai Xian stood far away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What is the situation in the city?” Han Fei waved. His neighbors removed the robe. Sof his neighbors looked like normal players. However, others were clearly abnormal, like Lee Zai and Weep.
“After a night of negotiation, the guilds in the first 100 places would join hands to explore the nightmares.” Bai Xian took out a map. “Eleven altars surrounded the main hub. Each altar releases a thick fog. All the buildings covered by the fog will turn strange. To stop this, we have to destroy the altar. However, to do that, we have to enter the buildings.” Bai Xian looked helpless. He opened the chat lobby and opened the data ranking for the guilds. “After a whole night of fighting, only Absolute Trust managed to get to the fourth layer of the nightmare. A few other guilds managed to get to the third layer, but most guilds are stuck on the second layer. The nightmare becomes scarier the deeper you go. If you die in the nightmare, you’ll die too!”
Jin Jun sighed. “We play this gto relax. But now we have to risk brain failure to escape. Most players are scared. Even the top guilds can’t form many effective tactical groups. In our guild, only Bai Xian got to the second layer of the nightmare.”
Han Fei tapped on the table. He realized that the altars in the surface world were different from the ones in the cryptic world. Of course, it was possible that they were Dream’s altar. “Can members of the sguild enter the snightmare?”
“The rule that we’ve found out is that if three people enter the mist-covered building at the stime, then they might enter the snightmare. But if there are other people already inside the building, the chance will lower.” Bai Xian took out the guidelines written by Absolute Truth. They didn’t hide anything and shared their experience. “For example, I’ll explore the third layer of the nightmare the next tI enter the altar. If you and I enter it at the stime, then there’s a chance for both of us to appear inside the third layer of the nightmare at the stime.”
“Only three of us?”
“There are uncertain player numbers acceptable within each nightmare. However, there can only be three players in a group. This is the result of the experiment done by Absolute Truth.” Bai Xian said.
Han Fei scanned the document and nodded. “Based on their guess, as long as someone can clear all the nightmares, we can destroy the altars. Since that’s the case, we’ll leave the exploration to the big guilds so the casual players wouldn’t need to die for no reason.”
“No.” Jin Jun pointed at one line of the document, “Eleven nightmares crafted endless nightmares. The more players who explore them, the easier the nightmare will be. If the top players want to go the distance, the normal players need to share the altar’s pressure.”
“It looks like we need to mobilize everyone.” Han Fei leaned on the chair and then stood up. “Where’s the closest altar?”
“Do you want to attempt one?”
“I want to see how many layers I can get through.”
