The neighbor's vicious curses quickly fade away as he is dragged by the monster into a bedroom in the deepest part of the house.
There were two bedrooms in the house, the deepest of which is locked, and he has done his mission-Sleep in the other bedroom before.
Han Fei is now glad that he has met such a warm-hearted and helpful neighbor today.
“Why does the monster drag him into that bedroom? What is hidden in that room?”
Looking at the large number of keys in his hand, Han Fei silently hits on that neighbor's legacy: “After the monster calms down, I'll try to see if I can get into the bedroom and find the neighbor's key.”
After briefly cleaning the house, he sits in the living room doorway and begins to check his attribute panel.
“Player ID 0000 attention, please. Each time you level up, you will gain one free attribute point, and you can choose a profession after level ten!”
“[Newbie Mission: Watch TV] has been completed! [Free skill points: +1], receive the reward - the landlord's ring.”
“The item bar function is unlocked. Mission rewards will be prioritized and stored in the item bar.”
Han Fei first taps the item bar and takes out the landlord's ring.
“Landlord's Ring (Grade G Item): after the landlord passed away, the family members made a ring from his ashes. It became a bridge connecting life and death, and their presence can be felt as long as you wear this ring.”
“They?" Looking at the item description, Han Fei probably figures it out, “Can I see ghosts just by wearing this ring?”
Han Fei tries to put the ring on. Just the moment he puts it on, he feels a chill coming from his finger.
The closer he gets to the deepest bedroom of the house, the more intense that icy feeling becomes.
“The ring can give early warning, and the more terrifying the ghost is, the heavier the coolness the ring emits.”
“It doesn't look good, but it's quite practical. As long as I wear this ring, I can avoid a lot of dangerous areas.”
After studying the reward item, Han Fei looks at the free skill points and attribute points he obtained.
“I have one free skill point right now, but the two skills I have are cooking and acting, neither of which have anything to do with combat.”
After thinking for a moment, Han Fei uses his skill points in acting. In this ghost-ridden game, acting might sometimes be able to play an unexpected role, like when he faced Wei Youfu just now.
“Player ID 0000, your current acting skill level is medium level 2. When the acting skill reaches medium level 10, it will automatically advance to advanced acting skill.”
“It's still quite difficult to improve the skills. But the newbie missions are just the most basic ones, it's normal for the rewards to be average.”
Before acquiring new skills, Han Fei decides to work on improving his acting skills first. He wants to hide his identity as a living person and integrate into the big family here as soon as possible.
Finally, Han Fei adds one attribute point to his stamina without much consideration, which is originally just 4.
After stamina is boosted, Han Fei swings his fists a few times and feels that he has become more powerful and his movements are much smoother: “I might be able to run faster than a ghost when I level up later!”
Picking up the kitchen knife on the ground, Han Fei doesn't disturb the monster as he prepares to go to the third floor to check on Meng Shi first.
“She is not a bad person per se, and if I can help her open her heart, then she will probably identify with me.”
Opening the security door, Han Fei feels the cold coming from his finger almost the moment he steps out of the room, and it is obvious that the apartment is not clean.
The cold is acceptable, and Han Fei carefully heads downstairs. When he is almost there, the cool coming from the ring suddenly intensifies.
Bearing in mind that he could exit the game at any time, Han Fei doesn't back off. He continues to walk down and sees that the door of the house across from Meng Shi’s is open.
The bagua mirror covered with cracks shatters on the ground, and much of the talisman papers on the door are torn off.
“Meng Shi hasn't opened the door, is it because of this house?”
Han Fei stops in front of Meng Shi’s house, and before he could knock on the door, a piercing chill suddenly comes from the ring.
He turns back, and finds a child laughing and charging toward him!
In just a blink, that child runs from the innermost part of his house to the door. Han Fei can’t make more reactions and immediately chooses to exit the game.
Blood red covers the world, the neural connection is severed, and once Han Fei regains control of his body, he removes the game helmet as soon as he could.
Paralyzed on the bed, Han Fei's hands are still trembling uncontrollably, “I've been cautious enough, but something horrible would happen without that ring.”
