My Healing Games

Chapter 216: It’s Easy to Ask God
"Life is never smooth sailing. Do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life, or a hero for a second?"

After careful consideration, Huang Ying chose the latter, believing that Han Fei's words made sense: enduring temporary pain would bring long-term rewards.

Just like when he studied with all his might during the college entrance examination, he was finally admitted to a key medical school. Later, he successfully inherited his father's hospital and became the youngest vice president in Shanghai.

"Effort doesn't guarantee success, but if you don't dare to try, you're destined to never succeed."

"Han Fei, are you sure this is safe?"

"Don't worry, my friends are all very gentle." Han Fei walked among the pile of items: "Brother Huang, after the public beta, the leveling speed in the shallow world will be relatively slow. You can send the quest items and skill books you need for leveling up here, so you can level up quickly."

"Ok."

"Your idea of ​​building goodwill is good, but I think you shouldn't just focus on building goodwill with your colleagues. I think you can broaden your perspective." Han Fei removed the talisman from Xu Qin's pet and said calmly, "Perfect Life is a man-made virtual city where players can realize all their dreams. There are also many NPCs in this virtual city, and some of them should have the authority to issue quests, right? Like a mayor or similar role?"

"You want me to raise my favorability with those key NPCs in advance?" Huang Ying was once again amazed by Han Fei's idea.

"After the public beta, the AI ​​will start monitoring the game. At that time, the NPCs' power should increase. If you can get ahead of the curve and max out the favorability of the core NPCs, it will definitely help you in the future."

“That makes sense! I’ll start collecting the items for the important NPC favorability quests and then transport them all here. After the open beta, I’ll use these items to max out their favorability.” Huang Ying was very excited: “Some NPCs have very strange personalities. Once a player maxes out their favorability, other players will never be able to gain their friendship again.”

"Favorability is only one aspect. Everyone thinks that the beta test accounts will be deleted and destroyed, so no matter how valuable the items they get now are, they probably won't care. You can take this opportunity to buy them at a very low price." Han Fei only pointed out a general direction to Huang Ying. Huang Ying had to figure out the specifics himself, since he hadn't played the normal "Perfect Life" game yet.

"I'll go prepare now, you can pull me down in an hour!" Huang Ying now only regretted not meeting Han Fei sooner, as she had wasted so much time.

"Are you treating me like an elevator? You can just come down whenever you want?" Han Fei shook his head with a wry smile: "I only have one chance a night. Every time you come here, you are actually risking your life. If something goes wrong, you may be trapped here forever."

Hearing Han Fei say this, Huang Ying gradually calmed down. He looked around and then shrank behind Han Fei: "It's better to be safe than sorry."

After discussing all the details, Han Fei used his Soul Return talent to send Huang Ying back.

Sitting among that huge pile of talismans, Han Fei rested for a while before leaving with Zhang Guanxing.

"The mission at Yimin Private Academy is complete, so there's no point in staying here any longer."

He summoned Ku, Yinglong, and Lizai, and, along with Zhang Guanxing and Xu Qin's little pets, arrived at the main gate of Yimin Private Academy.

That blood-stained door seemed to be able to be opened only by Jin Sheng and Han Fei, who held the title of Inspector Teacher.

"Attention player number 0000! You have successfully left the hidden map!"

Upon hearing the notification in his mind, Han Fei focused his attention intensely.

For him, the most dangerous hidden maps are actually the safest. Once he leaves, he will have to guard against all sorts of unknown terrors.

"It's been so long since I've been home to visit."

Let all the resentment squeeze into the weeping altar first, then Han Fei carried the altar across the road and entered the back alley of Yimin Convenience Store.

One after another, figures appeared on the wall. They had no ill intentions towards Han Fei; they were simply welcoming the new store manager.

Eager to return to Happiness Community, Han Fei ran to greet every neighbor. He sat in front of the TV and chatted with Wei Youfu about many recent events, as if they had endless things to say to each other.

Wei Youfu was very worried about Han Fei. After seeing Han Fei return safely, he finally felt relieved and listened quietly to Han Fei's story with a smile on his face.

The last time he went missing for one night, Han Fei carried back the convenience store owner's coffin.

After being out of contact for several nights, Han Fei directly took over Yimin Private Academy, getting the evil spirits there to agree to join forces with Xingfu Community.

In Wei Youfu's view, Han Fei was like a legend, accomplishing all sorts of feats that even the most vengeful ghosts couldn't comprehend, constantly creating miracles.

“I think I’ve heard the name Jin Sheng mentioned by the previous building manager. He’s the actual manager of Yimin Private Academy, and he’s terrifying.” Wei Youfu tried his best to recall: “Even if the eight of us in room 1044 were to unite, we probably could only put up a fight against him.”

"Is he also a top-tier source of resentment?"

"I'm not too sure about that. I only know that his resentment is different from ordinary resentment." Wei Youfu treated Han Fei like family, and Han Fei felt very comfortable being with Wei Youfu, a feeling he had never experienced in reality: "What are your plans next?"

“I’m going to Animal Alley; something’s waiting for me there.”

“Animal Alley?” Wei Youfu seemed to remember something: “The woman on the fifth floor should be very familiar with Animal Alley. She gets many of her ingredients from there.”

"You mean Xu Qin? Has she come back?" Han Fei stood up, a glint in his eyes.

“She hasn’t appeared for a long time, but you don’t need to worry. She’s a curse aggregate and has many ways to protect herself.” Wei Youfu gently comforted Han Fei: “She has a precedent of leaving for a long time before.”

"I hope she can come back safely." Han Fei sat back down on the sofa, slightly disappointed.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a living person so concerned about a curse." Wei Youfu looked at Han Fei with some curiosity: "Do you like her?"

"What a joke! Love, liking, longing—these words are all very far removed from me." Han Fei stopped chatting with Wei Youfu and, carrying with him the resentment of someone willing to leave with him, walked out of the Happiness Community again.

Recalling the location of Animal Alley in his mind, Han Fei began to plan the route.

To get to Animal Alley, you have to cross the intersection and then walk through two streets.

He could never have traveled such a long distance by himself, but fortunately he made many friends in the deeper world.

Holding the altar tightly in his arms, Han Fei embarked on his first "long journey," heading to the other side of the crossroads.

……

Li Ruonan hasn't seen her boyfriend in a long time. She feels that she has a particularly bad life and always runs into scumbags.

Those people make vows of eternal love at the beginning of a relationship, but when they get tired of it, they secretly leave and disappear from their lives.

In the end, only your parents will be by your side.

"Ruonan! Go throw out the trash! Your room stinks! You're such a grown woman, how can you not care about your appearance at all!" The bedroom door was pushed open, and her nagging mother, who seemed to have no concept of privacy, shouted: "How will you ever get married like this? Do you want to live off your parents for the rest of your life?"

Li Ruonan reluctantly got out of bed, took several large black bags from the closet, and carried them out of the room with some difficulty.

The dark stairwell had no lights, and the steps were slippery. Li Ruonan hated this house, but she had nowhere else to go.

As she walked out of the building, she looked across the intersection at the convenience store she had never been to before, which seemed unusually lively tonight.

"A grand opening sale? I heard from Dad that the convenience store seems to have changed owners." Li Ruonan pouted, no longer paying attention to her surroundings. She forcefully threw the black bag in her hand into the trash can: "Goodbye, my love."

Perhaps due to excessive force, one of the black bags was torn, and a strong stench wafted out.

"It's really troublesome."

Li Ruonan was squatting in front of the trash can, trying to re-tie the bag, when she suddenly heard footsteps.

"Do you need help?"

A soft, soothing voice reached her ears, and Li Ruonan, who was half-squatting on the ground, turned her head to look behind her, her heart pounding.

It was an extremely handsome face, more handsome than any of his exes.

"No need, no need..." Li Ruonan waved her hands repeatedly. She suddenly realized that she hadn't put on makeup yet and her hair was very oily.

"Be careful, don't stay outside for too long." After saying that, the man hugged the altar and looked at the wall next to him, where tattered advertisements were posted. He seemed to be looking for a place to stay.

"Are you looking to rent a place?" Li Ruonan closed the lid of the trash can and hurriedly stood up. "I know a really nice place! Wait here for a moment, I'll go ask my family."

Li Ruonan hurriedly ran upstairs to the second floor. The man felt somewhat confused. Just as he was about to continue looking at the information on the advertisement, the door of a barbershop next door was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged man stuck his head out: "Hey! Don't stay there. People died in that small building next to you. A family of three suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. None of them managed to escape; they all died."

The man in the barbershop was about to say something when he suddenly heard footsteps, which startled him so much that he quickly retreated back into the barbershop.

"Who are you talking to?" Li Ruonan asked breathlessly as she ran downstairs. "Come on, my dad has cleared out a room for you."

"You want to invite me to stay at your house? Won't that bother you?" The young man was rather shy. He was holding a spirit altar and looked gentle and harmless.
