Zongman, you don't follow the rules at all, right?

Huishi: It seems that the judgment conditions for initiating a task are a bit strange. I failed to initiate the task successfully. How about you, Alicia, initiate a request task and try it?

No, you've already started the mission?!

Yukinoshita was a little confused. "Gray, you're not afraid of anything happening at all, are you? The word 'cautious' doesn't apply to you at all!"

Alicia: I failed too. The chat group told me that there is no danger at the moment and no one is needed to help.

Hui Shi: Me too. I don’t need any help right now, so I can’t initiate the task.

Huishi: The judgment of this chat group is a bit inaccurate. I clearly need help.

I think the chat group's judgment is correct. Given your current situation, it's not you who needs help, but those ghosts.

Yukinoshita immediately quit the chat group and rubbed her brows to calm her inner frustration.

Chapter 21 I have to find a way to clear the level early

Yukinoshita Yukino temporarily left the chat group to calm her restless mood, while Haitoki continued to discuss the role of the chat group with Alicia.

In fact, the functions of the chat group have been discussed by the two of them.

At present, it seems that this "mutual help" chat group is a very standard chat group cheat.

Can chat, sign in, travel through time, etc.

To be more detailed, each major function is refined. For example, the chat function can also send red envelopes, which can contain various things, not just physical objects, but also some energy and abilities.

There is nothing much to say about signing in, it is just a simple sign in. Each time you sign in, you can get a random amount of points between a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 10 points.

Time travel is the main function of the chat group cheat code. The time travel function of the "Mutual Help" chat group cannot be used as you wish, but the restrictions are not too big. It just requires points. 100 points are required for one time of time of time of time of time. The range of time travel is the world where the group members are, and you cannot go to the world where there are no group members.

Then there is the mall. Currently, the only thing sold in the mall is the right to travel through time. This may be because there are only three members, so there are not many items unlocked in the chat group mall. We can only wait and see in the future.

Finally, there is the task function.

This function is another core function of the chat group besides the core function of time travel.

Only with it can you obtain a large number of points and other rewards, and then travel to other worlds.

This task function, like the name of the chat group, focuses on "mutual help".

To put it simply, if a group member is in danger or needs help, a task is posted through the task board, and then other capable group members lend a helping hand. It is not complicated.

The only difference is that in order to prevent the emergence of "beggars", the chat group has set a restriction, that is, group members cannot just ask for help without helping other group members.

If you keep asking for help but never help other group members, the chat group will temporarily ban that group member from using the task function.

Unless, the circumstances are special.

How to judge this specifically is difficult because there are no examples and it is difficult to judge when it is gray.

Anyway, let's talk about it when this situation occurs.

Next comes the requirements for issuing and accepting tasks.

You cannot post a task just for the reason of “I’m thirsty, give me a glass of water”. You can only post a task if it is a problem or crisis that an individual cannot complete or solve.

Those who accept the task do not have so many requirements.

I guess it’s because I can be led by a big boss, so there are no restrictions.

Huishi: Unfortunately, it seems that we are unable to issue tasks and cannot travel to each other's world.

Alicia: Yeah, what a shame. I still want to see the scenery of the other world and get closer to Xiao Hui.

Huishi: It's not a big deal. And didn't you say, Ai Li, that the group owner still has a chance to invite others? Even though it's in a cooldown period, once it's over, you can immediately send out invitations. With new members joining, the chat group will be even more lively. Even with so many people, there's always someone who needs help.

Huishi: Anyway, there are a lot of opportunities.

Alicia: Great! Lots of opportunities!

Alicia: Oh no! I suddenly remembered that I still have a mission to complete. I saw the quiet chat group suddenly become lively and I forgot about it.

Hui Shi: So you have something else to do? You were just thinking about starting the mission and then traveling over to play with us.

Alicia: Hey~?

Hui Shi: If I were your boss, I would definitely deduct your salary!

Alicia: Humph~ Alicia is so cute, how could anyone have the heart to deduct my salary?

Alicia: Okay, Xiao Huishi, I'm very happy to chat with you this time. I believe we will become very good partners. I look forward to meeting you in person next time. I have to go get busy.

Huishi: Let’s wait. I was thinking about whether I could further explore the chat group function. However, I do have some things to deal with here, so I’ll study it after I finish dealing with them.

Alicia: Yeah, the chat group won’t disappear anyway. Let’s chat again after we’re done with our own things. If you miss me~

After exiting the chat group, Hui Shi opened his eyes and the dark environment appeared in his eyes again.

After a brief silence, Hui Shi said, "Everyone, after our ghost friends who helped us raise funds come back, we should find a way to pass the level."

Everyone came to their senses and looked at Hui Shi in confusion.

"Cleared?" Miura Yumiko blinked, then took out her phone to check the time and said, "Haishi-san, it's only been about twenty minutes. There's still a long time before the five hours are up."

Huishi smiled and shook his finger, explaining, "Yumiko-san, don't be rigid in your thinking."

"As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. Although this game says you have to survive for five hours to complete it doesn't say you can only complete it if you survive for five hours."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

"That being said, Huishi, do you have any ideas?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said at this point. "There's indeed more than one way to complete the Ghost Paradise quest. However, most players are exhausted just trying to survive the ghosts and monsters, and don't have much time to consider other methods besides the prompts."

"I heard that a veteran player passed the level using a method other than the mission prompt, but he did it by accident and it cannot be replicated a second time," said Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Huishi looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka and said, "Teacher Shizuka, you seem quite well-informed. Could it be that you have a hidden underground profession that no one knows about, an intelligence dealer?"

The corner of Hiratsuka Shizuka's eye twitched, and then, for some unknown reason, she didn't refute him. Instead, she continued, following Huishi's words: "Wow? As expected of Huishi, you actually saw through my hidden identity."

"Great! Then, teacher, do you know what the lottery numbers are tomorrow? I'll pay you for the information after I win. I've been a little short on money lately, so every time I pass by a bank, I always feel a little itchy... no, uneasy."

"..."Silence fell. Not only Hiratsuka Shizuka, but everyone really wondered at this moment whether Huishi had any criminal record.

After a moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and said, "Actually, I was just joking."

"I was just kidding, haha~" Huishi said with a smile.

"Hahaha..." xN

After some awkward laughter, Shizuka Hiratsuka decided that if she could complete the mission alive this time, she would definitely go to the police station to check the situation.

Hui Shi naturally changed the subject and said, "Enough of the jokes, let's get down to business. How can we clear the level as soon as possible? You don't really want to stay here for five hours, do you?"

Everyone looked at Hui with complicated expressions for countless times, and after a moment, they all nodded.

"Although I don't have any specific clues, there is still a general formula for completing the game quickly."

General formula?

Everyone looked at each other again, very confused. In this weird game full of ghosts, is there a general formula answer?

While thinking, the others also looked at the two senior people, Shizuka Hiratsuka and Yukinoshita Yukino.

Of course they understood what everyone meant. Yukinoshita Yukino quickly shook her head and explained, "I didn't know there was such a formula."

"I don't know either." Shizuka Hiratsuka spread her hands.

Then, everyone turned their attention back to Hui Shi.

"There's a saying..."

"Does Huishi like to say those vulgar words so much?" Kiana asked curiously in a low voice.

Toyokawa Shoko, who was beside her, replied, "Haitoki really likes to quote 'common sayings'. Maybe it's because she's an international student from China."

"Over there, don't desert!"

"Yes!" x2

Nodding, Hui Shi continued, "People always compromise. When you said the house was too dark and you wanted to open a window, everyone disagreed at first. But when you said you wanted to remove the ceiling, everyone agreed to open the window."

"The same goes for this 'Ghost Paradise' game. If I ask to clear it early, it won't agree. But if I rob all the ghosts in this abandoned school and kill them, or even destroy the school directly, so that the abandoned school scene can be reused over and over again, the game should agree to let me clear it early, right?"

After the words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

What do you say you want to do?

Your general formula is violent demolition, right?

Chapter 22 Hui Shi: You must become stronger!

"Huishi, can't we just wait quietly for time to pass and then return to reality?" Shizuka Hiratsuka said to Huishi with some helplessness after she was surprised.

"Ah~"

Sighing, Hui Shi said to Hiratsuka Shizuka with a look of disappointment, "Hiratsuka-sensei, you can't have such a hopeless idea."

"Also, do other people have the same idea? Do they think we should just sit here and wait for time to pass and then complete this mission?"

The answer to this question actually does not need to be asked, it is very obvious.

This classroom is so safe because of Hui Shi and the ghost parents guarding the door, it doesn't seem like a place that should appear in the Ghost Paradise quest copy.

If you stay in this place for the remaining time, you can pass the level safely without facing any danger or encountering those scary ghosts.

Such a good thing is impossible to find even with a lantern in the dangerous Ghost Paradise mission copy.

Whether it was the veterans like Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukinoshita Yukino, or the newbies like Kiana, they all thought so.

Hui Shi saw what everyone was thinking and once again looked at them with an expression that said, "How can you do this?"

"You guys, let me settle the score with you."

Drawing everyone's attention, Huishi continued, "First of all, you've all become players of this strange paradise. Your future lives are destined to be restless. Putting Hiratsuka-sensei and Yukino aside, the others don't think that after clearing this level, they'll never be dragged into the strange paradise again, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone except the two senior experts, Yukinoshita and Hiratsuka Shizuka, showed an expression of "Isn't it?"

Seeing this, Hui Shi spread his hands and said, "So that's what you think."

"Hiratsuka-sensei and Yukino, you two seniors, please answer this question."

Hearing this, the two nodded and exchanged a glance. Then, the more experienced Hiratsuka Shizuka answered, "Once you become a player of this game, you can't escape. At least so far, I don't know of any way to escape this player identity and stay away from those monsters and demons."

"After each mission, you have a week's rest. During this week, unless you actively accept a mission, the Ghost Paradise will not bother you. However, after this week of rest, missions will continue to pop up and you will encounter them, although you can still refuse them."

"However, if you continue to refuse missions, you will be forced to complete them within a month at the latest. Moreover, this forced mission will greatly increase the difficulty of the missions you encounter, and you will basically be killed."

After the words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Especially the two girls, Miura Yumiko and Yuigahama Yui, they really thought that as long as they survived safely this time, they would take the initiative to stay away from these monsters and ghosts, and they would never encounter these horrible things again.

But unexpectedly, they could no longer hide.

If you do not take the initiative to complete the task, you will be forced to do it. If you complete the task because of this compulsion, the difficulty will even increase.

This punishment mechanism can be said to force you to complete tasks and face those monsters and demons.

And needless to say, as the number of tasks increases, the difficulty of the tasks players perform will gradually increase, and it is impossible to remain at a low difficulty level forever.

"We still have a week off, which is kind of generous." Huishi smiled and continued, "That's right. Even if you can complete the mission safely this time, what about next time? Are you confident that you can guarantee that you will be matched with me every time? By the way, Mr. Hiratsuka, can this game be played in a team?"

"Yes, but there is a limit on the number of people, a maximum of three," replied Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Only three people? I was thinking if there was no limit on the number of people, I would form a tour group." Shaking his head, Hui Shi said with some regret.

"..."xN

Everyone looked at Huishi speechlessly, and then they began to think seriously.

Although they were lucky this time, because of the existence of Hui Shi, the difficulty of this mission copy dropped sharply, but as they have become players, it is impossible for them to only carry out this one mission. Will they meet a special existence like Hui Shi next time?

Continue to hold the thigh when the ash? This way you don't have to worry about safety issues.

But Huishi is not their babysitter. Protecting you is out of kindness, but there is no problem if he doesn't protect you.

The atmosphere fell silent again.

After just a few seconds, Hui Shi interrupted, "You should be able to figure it out, right? I can protect you this time, but what about next time? Will you gamble your future, your lives, on the chance to join me on a mission next time? Or will you turn against each other, scheme against each other, and snatch the chance to team up with me?"
