My Healing Games

Chapter 143 A Turning Point in Life
Han Fei was very clear about his plan. After adding skill points, he put the remaining attribute points into his mental ability, bringing his mental ability value to seven.

"This should extend the time we can control the paper doll."

With just a little extra mental effort, Han Fei noticed that his brain seemed to work faster, he could think clearly and rarely got stuck, and he also found that his memory seemed to have been enhanced.

"Both mental and physical abilities are important, but unfortunately attribute points are too scarce. You can't have your cake and eat it too."

Mental ability can prolong the time he can control cursed objects, while physical strength allows Han Fei to escape faster. When he starts to increase his mental ability, it is actually the time when his mindset gradually changes.

After climbing out of the pit of corpses, Han Fei left the hotel and returned to the convenience store.

Filming for "Twin Flowers" has been completed, and Han Fei is not in a hurry to quit the game. He leads Ku and Li Zai to start providing door-to-door services.

For an entire night, three residents from Xingfu Community brought warmth to nearby businesses that they had never felt before.

Han Fei also gradually discovered a problem: it was very difficult for vengeful spirits to maintain their rationality. After Ku devouring some of the ghosts, Ku suddenly went mad, tearing at his own body while crying out loudly.

In the process of devouring ghosts, Li Zai uncontrollably transformed into Li Huo, and even fought with Ku.

The more ghosts they devoured, the harder it became to maintain their sanity. When both Ku and Li Zai were on the verge of losing control, Han Fei led them back to the Happiness Community.

Li Zai and Ku De's strength has improved to a certain extent, and their friendliness towards Han Fei has also increased. Most importantly, with their help, Han Fei has completed several more low-level ordinary tasks.

G-rank missions correspond to levels 1 to 10. Before Han Fei reaches level 10, the experience provided by G-rank normal missions is still considerable. However, apart from experience and some consumable items, these missions do not offer any other rewards.

"Other games would probably be on their second playthrough by now after all this time, but I'm still a long way from level 10."

Han Fei stood by the window of the haunted house 1044, looking at the city shrouded in endless darkness. He recalled the words of an old man: "If there is no torch after this, I will be the only light."

The old man in the inn gave Han Fei a profound shock. In this deeper world, many people were not completely desperate at first. They were slowly assimilated into monsters by this world. They were originally kind people.

Is it really possible for this world to be cured?

He also wanted to be someone else's hope, but it was just too difficult; simply surviving was already a struggle.

Feeling dizzy and exhausted, Han Fei leaned against the window, glanced back into the depths of the haunted house, and then chose to exit the game.

The crimson blood, like spilled paint, slid down the dark night sky, and Han Fei slowly lost consciousness.

Taking off his gaming helmet, sunlight shone on his face. Han Fei looked at the digital clock on the wall; it was already past ten in the morning.

"The main reason I haven't been driven crazy is probably because I can return to reality. I have a specific goal every day, which is to exit the game alive."

The warm sunlight felt like a lover's gentle hand, softly caressing Han Fei's cheek. He had never felt the sunlight to be so warm before; he had only ever thought it was dazzling.

Exhausted, Han Fei pulled the covers over himself and drifted off to sleep.

Around 3 p.m., Han Fei was awakened by a knock on the door. He instinctively grabbed the stun gun under his pillow.

He had very few friends, and the only people who had visited him before were the police.

Han Fei quietly walked to the door and looked through the peephole, finding Director Jiang and the production assistant standing outside.

Opening the door, Han Fei asked, full of confusion, "What are you two doing here?"

"Brother! We called you more than twenty times, but you didn't answer, so we had no choice but to come over here!" The stage manager said with a wry smile.

"I was thinking that once the movie was finished, I would put my phone on silent and get some rest."

"Go change your clothes quickly. Sister Long has contacted the largest video movie platform in China. Tonight, our movie's press conference will be streamed live on their website, and they'll also be showing the latest trailer and promotional videos." Director Jiang looked at Han Fei with a hint of helplessness: "You're the lead actor in this movie, you can't miss the press conference!"

"We just wrapped filming yesterday, and you're already having a press conference today? Is the post-production editing all done?"

Movie press conferences are usually held a week in advance and many guests and leaders are invited. However, "Twin Flowers" is a low-budget film and cannot be compared with those big productions.

"The time is too tight. We are shooting and editing at the same time, and some parts have been outsourced. They are rushing to meet the deadline." Director Jiang also had dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time: "If we miss the release date, all the money we have invested in publicity and distribution will be wasted. Besides, you are currently very popular, and this opportunity is not to be missed."

After rushing into the bathroom to wash up, Han Fei changed into a new set of clothes: "Let's go."

"You're wearing this?" Director Jiang covered his forehead. "Maybe I should just have someone bring over Meng Chang'an's costume."

"That's fine, it's very comfortable to wear." Han Fei didn't care much; he summed up his image management in four words: let nature take its course.

“Although we didn’t have any heavyweight guests, it was still a very formal occasion. You… what did you just put in your pocket?” Director Jiang said, then realized he had seen something incredible.

"Baton".

"You're bringing this thing to a press conference?"

"Yes." Han Fei's reply was concise and forceful, as if it were just a trivial matter.

Director Jiang was at a loss for words. He led Han Fei and the stagehands into a private car and headed straight to the venue.

Half an hour later, when Han Fei arrived at the venue, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.

The electronic screens and advertisements outside the venue were all for the movie "Urban Secret Love". The parking lot was full of cars, and there were many young people queuing up on the roadside holding up signs with their idols' names.

"They booked the main venue, while we were in a branch venue. Actually, it doesn't matter. Online live streaming is about online popularity, not about how lively it is to watch the live show." Director Jiang's tone was tinged with bitterness, clearly dissatisfied with the arrangements made for the main venue. The other party only gave the "Twin Flowers" crew a relatively small branch venue.

The car stopped at the entrance of the sub-venue. When Han Fei got out of the car, no one around him treated him like a celebrity. Everyone even thought it was a staff member's car.

It wasn't until Han Fei reached the entrance and the security guard asked him to wear his work badge before he could enter that Director Jiang hurriedly ran over to explain.

"Han Fei, these are the questions you need to answer. Go backstage and memorize them, then we'll quickly rehearse them."

Director Jiang went to talk to the host, while Han Fei went backstage.

Zhan Lele and Jin Nian were also there, but compared to them, Han Fei seemed very relaxed. He just glanced at the question and then went to think about the game.

At 8 p.m., the online live-streamed movie launch officially began, marking Han Fei's first real public appearance.

A round of applause came from outside the curtain. When Han Fei heard the host call his name, he took a deep breath and walked towards the spotlight.
