My Healing Games

Chapter 29 Communication Before Dawn
After returning to the haunted house 1044, Han Fei did not rush to quit the game. He simply cleaned the house.

"I haven't completed the newbie quests of sleeping and taking a shower yet. I'll leave those two quests for later and do them next time I log in."

Han Fei has his own plan, and compared to hidden quests that require you to trigger them yourself, the danger of the beginner quests is relatively low.

After logging into the game, he had to complete a task before he could log out. Meng Shi didn't have any more tasks left, so he had to keep the beginner tasks for future use.

I glanced at the digital clock on the wall; it was 3:58 a.m. The sky outside the apartment building was still pitch black, and it seemed as if the sun in this world would never rise.

"It's time to leave. If I keep my nerves on edge like this, I'll probably go crazy sooner or later." After experiencing the deepest fear, Han Fei realized that his simple and peaceful life was actually wonderful. The underworld game of Perfect Life had given him eyes to discover beauty and love.

As Han Fei opened the properties panel and was about to click the exit button in the corner, he suddenly noticed that one of the chat rooms in the list, which had previously been grayed out and indicated that it was inaccessible, had lit up.

In that sea of ​​lifeless chat rooms, chat room number 444 stood out starkly brightly.

"Can I enter?" Han Fei turned his head and glanced at the digital clock on the wall. It was 3:59 a.m. At the turn of night and dawn, something had happened in one of the 999 chat rooms.

He reached out and clicked on chat room number 444, and a cold, robotic voice echoed in his mind.

"Enter chat room 444?"

"Yes."

"Please select whether you wish to post anonymously?"

"Speak anonymously." Han Fei chose to remain anonymous without even thinking. He was joking; in a place full of vengeful ghosts and perverts, revealing his ID was far too risky.

Han Fei entered the chat room anonymously and waited for a few seconds, but no one spoke.

He hesitated for a moment before sending the first message: "Is anyone there?"

Huang Ying (Test Account No. 0999): There are still people online at four in the morning, bro, are you covered in liver?
His whole body was covered in livers? Han Fei thought about the image and found it terrifying. He didn't know what deeper meaning the other person might have in saying that.

In order to extract more information without revealing himself, Han Fei was very cautious.

The fact that the other party dared to reveal their ID directly indicates that they have a certain level of confidence and are probably an experienced player.

Another possibility is that the other party obtained an item that can modify IDs, and this person is using a fake name.

Huang Ying (Test Account ID 0999): Dude, are you still there? You're grinding so much, what level are you now?
Trying to find out his level just by chatting and laughing? Han Fei frowned and sent another message.

Anonymous user: What about you?
Without revealing any information, the question was passed on to the other party. Regardless of whether the other party would lie or not, as long as he could give a definite answer, Han Fei would be able to learn more about the outside world.

This is the art of conversation; this is the psychological warfare between top players!
Han Fei focused all his attention on the chat room; this was the first time he had encountered other players in the game.

The fact that the other person can survive in this hellish game and send such lighthearted and joking messages shows that they must have experienced a lot.

Huang Ying (Test Account No. 0999): I participated in the test project as a medical instructor. I'm only level 14. Because I have to work at the hospital during the day, I can only play the game at night, so my level is not very high. I can't compare with you hardcore players.

Looking at Huang Ying's information, Han Fei fell into deep thought again. He had only asked about Huang Ying's level, but Huang Ying had even told him about his profession, daily routine, and game time.

"Is he trying to confuse me with so much information? He should know what I mean by asking about the level, that I want to determine the degree of threat he poses to me, but this person cleverly glossed over it with a lot of information."

Anonymous user: Level 14? You level up pretty fast! How do you usually level up?
Han Fei didn't think the other party would reveal the upgrade method, but the fact puzzled him. Not long after he sent the message, Huang Ying replied.

Huang Ying (Test Account ID 0999): Because I'm a doctor in real life, I went directly to a hospital and started as an intern. I completed daily learning tasks, helped doctors with odd jobs, made rounds at night, and also pursued the female nurses in the department. Before I knew it, I had reached level fourteen. This game is really addictive. Without the troubles of real life, it gives you a sense of control over your life and the happiness of creating your future.

Upon seeing Huang Ying's message, Han Fei frowned even more deeply: "Is this the demeanor of a big shot? Hospitals are definitely more dangerous than ordinary residential areas, yet he dares to patrol the wards at night? And even help the doctors with chores?"

Han Fei's mind conjured up images of human organ trafficking, operating rooms, and various horrific and bloody scenes. All the doctors' white coats were stained red, while Huang Ying pushed a cart full of fresh organs through the hospital corridor late at night.

Huang Ying (Test Account No. 0999): This game doesn't have a fixed way of playing. I'm a casual player. Dude, what kind of life have you chosen?
Staring at the messages in the chat room, Han Fei didn't know how to reply. He also didn't understand what strange life he had chosen. He hadn't even left his apartment building yet.

Han Fei knew nothing about the world outside the apartment, but he didn't want the other party to see his weakness.

If the other party knows of your existence and is certain that you are weak, they are very likely to treat you as prey. After all, this is a vengeful ghost world where the strong prey on the weak!
Anonymous user: I'm also a casual gamer. I occasionally go out for a meal at my neighbor's house, and usually I watch TV in my room with a bunch of friends. When I'm free, I play hide-and-seek with the kids in the neighborhood.

Huang Ying (Test Account No. 0999): Wow! I'm so envious. It must be great to have a group of friends to play games with!
Anonymous user: Yes, that felt pretty good!
Huang Ying (Test Account No. 0999): We can add each other as friends in the future. It just so happens that we both play the game at night and have the same game philosophy. Now, many testers play this game to explore in-depth gameplay, but they have forgotten the original purpose of the game.

Anonymous user: In-depth gameplay?
Huang Ying (Test Account No. 0999): I've only heard that this game is designed around the theme of human nature, comparing it to an iceberg floating at sea. Only a small part of the iceberg is bathed in sunlight; the majority of this iceberg of human nature is actually submerged in the deep, cold ocean.

Thank you to the leader of the Soul-Stealing Great Urumqi!
