Han Fei had previous experience with shrine inheritance missions, and he knew that the difficulty of survival would increase as the mission progressed. He had to come up with a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible when things were not too dangerous in the early stages.

"The task of inheriting the Mirror God's shrine requires me to survive for thirty days. In reality, after the fifteenth day, I will have no chance to resist and will only be gradually devoured by memories. I should prepare in advance this time."

Walking cautiously on the sidewalk, Han Fei was genuinely worried that a passerby might suddenly pull out a knife and kill him, after all, he was now inhabiting the body of the person the shrine's master hated most.

"Based on my previous experience, I need to fulfill the shrine owner's regret before I can open the inventory, so my priority now is to quickly figure out what Fu Sheng's regret is."

Han Fei opened his phone and began searching for his company's address. Just as he looked down to check, something suddenly smashed the display case of a store not far in front of him.

Fragments were scattered everywhere, and then a masked man came out carrying a bag of jewelry.

The man was faster than most people; he casually carried the bag of jewelry and ran into the alley.

"A robber? Or a player?" Han Fei took out his phone and took a picture of the man's back. He had a feeling that the man didn't belong to this world.

The shopkeeper ran out for help, but the robber had already disappeared.

Han Fei provided the merchant with the photos he had taken, and then left.

He drove around the city for a long time before finally finding his workplace.

It was an office building that was nearly thirty stories high, and his company had rented an entire floor.

"Fu Yi, you're going too far every day. Look at your watch, what time is it?"

As soon as Han Fei squeezed into the elevator, a woman in a business casual suit stared at him, her eyes seemingly spitting fire.

"Sister Qian, I encountered a robber who robbed a jewelry store on the street, and I even took pictures." Han Fei used the excuse of acting bravely for a just cause very skillfully. He took out his phone and showed it to the woman.

"You encountered bandits?" The woman frowned and looked at Han Fei's phone.

As the woman approached, Han Fei took a closer look at her. This woman was named Zhao Qian, and she was two years older than the shrine owner's father, but she was very well-maintained and looked even younger than Han Fei.

She exudes the charm of a mature woman, giving off a professional, fashionable, approachable, and low-key vibe, while also appearing quite wealthy.

With such a beautiful woman standing next to him, Han Fei's first thought was whether she would kill him. His second thought was how she would kill him.
Seeing that Han Fei wasn't lying, the woman let him off the hook this time: "Go to work now, let's see what excuse you can come up with tomorrow."

The woman's heels clicked against the floor tiles, making a crisp sound, and she entered her office after the elevator doors opened.

"I'm from the design team." Han Fei arrived at the room next to Zhao Qian's office. After pushing open the door, he found four employees inside working diligently.

"Is this my workplace?" Han Fei walked to the innermost desk, glancing at Li Guo'er as he moved.

Wearing glasses, Li Guo'er seemed completely absorbed in her work, showing no intention of killing Han Fei, as if what Han Fei saw that morning was just an illusion.

Compared to Zhao Qian, Li Guo'er's outfit looks younger and more casual, somewhat like a recent college graduate.

Sitting down in his seat, Han Fei turned on his computer. He glanced at the game design proposals and then secretly played a round of Plants vs. Zombies.

"When do you get off work?"

Han Fei wasn't slacking off; it was just that his resume was too impressive, and he was worried that if he got serious and worked hard, he would bankrupt the company.

When that time comes, without a job, my colleagues will probably target me even more aggressively.

"I need to find out why Li Guo'er wanted to kill me first. Judging from the chat logs, she and I were just colleagues with a good relationship."

Before Han Fei had even finished a game of Plants vs. Zombies, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a man shouted at him, "You guys have been designing this action plan for so long? Can you hurry up?"

"The core of action games is the action, so of course it needs to be designed for a longer period of time," Han Fei replied casually.

"Fu Yi, are you looking for trouble?" The man was very dissatisfied with Han Fei's attitude: "I know you're unhappy about being replaced, you can talk to Sister Zhao and give her your opinion, what kind of skill is it to make things difficult for us people?"

"I'll design it as soon as possible, don't worry." Han Fei turned off Plants vs. Zombies and started playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) again, while also taking a look at the game design plans.

Immortality is a large-scale exploration game that tells the story of how, after people gained immortality, they built an incredibly vast futuristic city. The protagonist, a person with incomplete genes who can never gain immortality, grows step by step.

Fu Yi was initially in charge of this large project, but later the leadership, citing his lack of ability, handed the project over to others and assigned him a smaller virtual dating simulation project.

"What kind of action design do you need for a dating sim?" Li Guo'er sent Han Fei a file as soon as he finished reading the project introduction.

Try clicking on it, and you'll find it filled with all sorts of indescribable scenes.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Han Fei felt he should talk to Li Guo'er first. He got up and walked over to her. "Although our game is indeed rated 18+, aren't these pictures a bit too revealing?"

"Wasn't it your request? Dating simulation games only require showing some skin. I've done my research, and most games on the market follow this style. Everyone is constantly testing the limits of censorship." Li Guo'er spoke quickly and answered normally.

"Since there are already games like this on the market, no matter how revealing ours is, we won't be competitive. How about we change our thinking and turn this dating simulation game into a horror dating game?"

"Terrifying Romance?"

"The male protagonist is a scumbag. He hurt many wonderful girls, and one day those girls turned evil and tried to kill him in various ways." Han Fei tried to express himself as tactfully as possible: "He also felt that it was right for those girls to want to kill him, but he wanted to do his best to make up for some mistakes and regrets in the last period of his life."

"That sounds quite interesting. I'm curious how you came up with such a bizarre idea, team leader?" Li Guo'er looked at Han Fei, her gaze behind her glasses somewhat frightening.

“If you’re truly committed to making games, some of your personal ideas will inevitably come into play. Mistakes have already been made and cannot be changed; the only thing you can do is use the last bit of your life to make amends.” Han Fei picked up the document on the table: “It just so happens that we haven’t finalized the main storyline yet, so it’s not too late to make changes now.”

"No way, team leader, we've already worked overtime for two days straight!" The other three team members began to scream.

"Don't worry, I hate working overtime the most. Just do your job well during work hours. I'll lead the way and leave after work. If the project doesn't have enough time, we'll postpone it. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong." Han Fei discussed with the four team members how to make the horror romance game. He had unique experience and talent in this area.

"The meat-chopping scene is delayed until 3 a.m., and the wife also wants to kill him. Don't worry about it being too scary and scare away players; that's how I started dating."

"Abuse of the master? He's cheated on me so many times, is it a big deal for him to be stabbed twice?"

"I've noticed your thinking is all trapped? Why is death the end? Can't there be female ghosts?"

"You've come to the right person about the different types of curses; I have over a hundred..."

Under Han Fei's guidance, the four subordinates also had a burst of inspiration, and they finally understood why Fu Yi used to be the company's chief game designer.

These wildly imaginative ideas, this bizarre and twisted yet unexpectedly captivating plot, are things that would be hard for a person with a normal mind to come up with.

"Team Leader Fu, someone's looking for you downstairs." The office door opened again, and someone called out into the room.

"Okay, I understand." After giving instructions to his subordinates, Han Fei hurriedly went downstairs.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a woman in a pale yellow dress standing at the door.

The woman seemed to be a freshman in college; she looked somewhat inexperienced and was carrying two cups of coffee.

"Who is this?" Han Fei tried hard to recall the information on his phone. It seemed that Fu Yi had met the girl online. He had chatted with her using a secondary account: "I think I've seen her picture before. This girl's name is Wang Meijia. She didn't go to school after graduating from high school. It seems that she was helping out in a clothing store owned by a relative."

The fact that Fu Yi, a married man, was pursued to the company by a girl much younger than him speaks volumes.

If it were the old Fu Yi, he would definitely have been furious and scolded the girl.

"Why did you come to find me?" Han Fei stood in front of the girl.

“I don’t like milk tea anymore. I think coffee is pretty good.” The girl handed the coffee she had bought to Han Fei: “I asked a lot of people, and they told me you work here.”

"Please have a seat, let's talk slowly." Han Fei and the girl sat on the sofa in the reception area on the first floor, maintaining a tacit distance.

As Han Fei took the coffee out of the bag, he noticed that the girl kept glancing at it unconsciously, and he vaguely understood what was going on.

Picking up his coffee, Han Fei drew the girl's attention to himself and began asking her about her recent situation.

At first, the girl answered absentmindedly, but gradually she let her emotions get involved and became more and more upset.

Her relatives treated her badly, and her mother and stepfather kept scolding her. Fu Yi seemed to have made some promises to her before, but not only did he not keep them, he also disappeared.

"Where do you live now? Are you still with your mother?"

“My stepfather kicked me out, saying that my younger brother was too old and needed his own room.” Wang Meijia said calmly, but her hands were clenched tightly together.

"Here's what we'll do. Find a place to stay first. Be careful on your own and don't wander off. I'll try to find you a job as soon as possible." Han Fei transferred some money to the girl and gave her a lot of instructions, acting like a father to her.

As Han Fei spoke, Wang Meijia's gaze towards him became complicated.

"There seems to be a hotel nearby. It would be much cheaper if you stayed for a month. It's also not too far from my company. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me." Han Fei kept his distance from Wang Meijia, but his words were very heartwarming, and he was also helping Wang Meijia with his actions.

Whether the girl listened or not, her gaze kept shifting between Han Fei and the coffee in his hand.

"Let's go, I'll take you to that hotel first."

Upon hearing Han Fei's words, Wang Meijia's body trembled slightly. She stopped worrying and simply lowered her head.

The two walked out of the company together. Han Fei took Wang Meijia to a nearby hotel. He did not go in with her. He continued to remind Wang Meijia, like an old father, of things that women living alone should pay attention to, and kept comforting and advising her.

After talking for a long time, Han Fei was about to leave with his coffee when the girl behind him suddenly rushed over and bumped into him hard.

"Why are you suddenly being so nice to me? You liar!"

The woman shouted loudly, and then she ran away.

Han Fei wasn't knocked over by the girl, but the coffee in his hand was knocked out of his hand, spilling black coffee all over the floor.

Compared to regular coffee, the coffee the girl brought had a strange smell.

"Is she trying to poison me?" Han Fei looked helpless. He had never even been in a relationship and had almost been killed three times already. "At first, I was actually quite pleased with myself for becoming the old building manager's father. I never expected this mission to be so ridiculous."

Han Fei sighed softly. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a stray cat run over, seemingly wanting to taste the strange liquid on the ground.

"Don't try this stuff, you silly cat." Han Fei quickly grabbed the cat by the scruff of its neck, then went back into the hotel to borrow a mop and bucket, washed the coffee off the floor, and then left.

Back on the floor where the Immortal Games were located, the employees looked at him with some strange expressions, probably because some big mouths had already spread the word that a girl had come to his door looking for him.

Han Fei was already used to such gazes. He greeted everyone normally and then entered the design team's office.

His four subordinates were working very diligently, but the curtains by the window were not fully drawn, so they must have been peeking through the window.

Walking over to Li Guo'er's table, Han Fei continued explaining his ideas. He noticed that Li Guo'er had prepared a draft: "What is this?"

"I want to flesh out the plot a bit more, by having a little girl try to poison the male lead," Li Guo'er said without looking up from behind her glasses.

"Good idea, we can add it." Han Fei returned to his seat with a wry smile. He glanced at his watch, then stared intently at the computer screen and started playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

Li Guo'er glanced sideways at Han Fei, who was working hard, and drew a cute stray cat next to the game's male protagonist.

The male protagonist, with a sharp knife stuck in his chest, lay on the ground, surrounded by contemptuous and disgusted gazes. Only a stray cat stayed by his body, licking his already cold hands.
