My Healing Games

Chapter 16 The Landlord's Ring

The neighbor's vicious curses quickly disappeared, and he was dragged by the monster in the darkness into a bedroom deep inside the haunted house.

Han Fei's house has two bedrooms. The bedroom at the far end is locked. He used to do his sleeping tasks in the other bedroom.

It would be a lie for Han Fei to say he wasn't scared when a living person just vanished right before his eyes. He was now very grateful that he had met such a kind and helpful neighbor today.

If the neighbor on the sixth floor hadn't come over for a visit, I might be the one being dragged deep into the bedroom right now.

"Why did the monster drag it into that bedroom? What's hidden in that room?" Han Fei hadn't been to that locked bedroom yet, but he had one great advantage: he could control his curiosity and wouldn't look at things he shouldn't or go to places he shouldn't.

As the neighbor's screams gradually subsided, Han Fei looked at the large bunch of keys in his hand and silently began to think about the neighbor's inheritance: "After the monster brother calms down, I'll try to get into the bedroom. If I can find the neighbor's keys, that would be great."

Having finally completed the beginner's quests, Han Fei was now ready to quit the game at any time, so he was full of confidence.

After tidying up the room briefly, he sat down at the living room doorway and began checking his attribute panel.

"Attention player number 0000! You will receive one free attribute point after each level up. You can choose a class after reaching level 10!"

"Attention player number 0000! The newbie quest 'Watch TV' has been completed! One free skill point added, and the quest reward—the Landlord's Ring—has been obtained."

"The inventory feature is now unlocked, and mission rewards will be stored in the inventory first."

Upon seeing the information indicating that the mission was completed, Han Fei felt slightly frustrated. He had taken a great risk to complete the mission, but the reward seemed rather meager.

Han Fei first opened his inventory and took out the landlord's ring.

"Landlord's Ring (G-grade Crimson Item): After the landlord passed away, his loving family made a ring from his ashes. Their longing became a bridge connecting life and death. As long as you wear this ring, you can feel their presence."

"Them?" Looking at the item description, Han Fei roughly understood: "Can you see ghosts just by wearing this ring?"

Han Fei tried to put the ring on directly, and the moment he put it on, he felt a chill coming from his finger.

The closer you get to the bedroom at the deepest part of the haunted house, the stronger the chilling feeling becomes.

"This ring can provide early warning; the more terrifying the ghost or monster, the stronger the chill emanating from the ring."

"It doesn't look like much, but it's actually quite practical. As long as I wear this ring, I can avoid many dangerous areas."

Han Fei is still unclear about the concept of blood-red items. He had previously looked up information about Perfect Life, but it did not mention blood-red items.

After examining the reward items, Han Fei looked at the free skill points and free attribute points he had obtained.

"I have one free skill point, but the problem is that the two abilities I have are cooking and acting, neither of which are related to combat."

After a moment's thought, Han Fei used his skill points on acting. In this ghostly underworld game, acting skills can sometimes play an unexpected role, just like when he was facing Wei Youfu.

"Player ID 0000, your current acting level is Intermediate Level 2. Once your acting level reaches Intermediate Level 10, you will automatically advance to Advanced Acting."

"It's quite difficult to improve your skills, but the beginner quests are just the most basic ones, and the rewards are usually average, which is normal."

Before acquiring new skills, Han Fei decided to focus on improving his acting skills, as he wanted to conceal his identity as a living person and integrate into the community as soon as possible.

With his last remaining attribute points, Han Fei didn't hesitate and immediately added them to his stamina. His stamina was only 4, which was really bad. Just now, when he was trying to persuade his neighbor to stay, the neighbor almost ran away.

After his stamina improved, Han Fei swung his fists a few times and clearly felt that he had become more powerful and his movements were much smoother: "This is only a little bit. When I level up in the future, I might really be able to run faster than a ghost!"

After being able to freely exit the game, Han Fei felt much more relaxed, and now he was truly playing the game with a positive mindset.

Picking up the kitchen knife from the ground, Han Fei didn't disturb the monster deep inside the haunted house. He planned to go to the third floor to check on Meng Shi first.

"The old lady is not a bad person. If I can help her open up, she is likely to agree with me."

Now he has a deeper understanding of this game. Other healing games only heal the players, but this game not only heals the players, but also tries to heal the NPCs. It is a rare "conscientious" game.

As soon as Han Fei opened the security door, he felt the coldness in his ring finger almost the instant he stepped out of the room, clearly indicating that the hallway was not clean.

"You'd probably run into ghosts several times just to go out and pick up takeout in this place, right?"

The coldness from his fingers was tolerable. Han Fei carefully entered the stairwell with the kitchen knife in his hand.

He lived on the fourth floor, and the old lady lived on the third floor. They were only one floor apart, but he dared not be careless.

The hallway was deathly silent. Strangely, the motion-activated lights on the sixth floor kept turning on, even though there was no sound coming from there.

He quietly walked downstairs, and stopped when he reached the area between the third and fourth floors.

Slowly crouching down, Han Fei glanced up through the gap in the stair railing. The motion-activated light on the sixth floor was still inexplicably on.

Is there someone here or no one here?

Moving his feet, Han Fei headed towards the third floor. As he approached the third floor, the chill emanating from the ring suddenly intensified.

"what's the situation?"

Relying on the fact that he could quit the game at any time, Han Fei did not retreat. He continued to walk down and then he saw that the door of the house opposite Meng Shi's house was open.

The Bagua mirror above the door, covered in cracks, was shattered on the ground, and many of the talismans on the door had also been torn off.

"Is Meng Shi not opening the door because of the family across the street?"

Han Fei mustered his courage and stopped in front of Meng Shi's house. Before he could even knock, a chilling coldness suddenly emanated from his ring finger!
He turned his head sharply and saw a child laughing and running towards him from the room opposite!
His nerves tensed instantly. In the blink of an eye, the child had run from the innermost part of the house to the door. Han Fei didn't have time to react and immediately chose to quit the game.

The world was covered in blood red, and the neural connections were severed. Once Han Fei could regain control of his body, he ripped off the game helmet.

Slumped helplessly on the bed, Han Fei's hands were still trembling uncontrollably: "I was careful enough, but if it weren't for that ring, I probably would have still been in trouble. This game is really outrageous."

Thanks to the God of Resentment, I feel much better after giving up treatment. Chansey is gone, and the leader of the Unpredictable C is here!
There was a long gap between the new book and the old book, and to be honest, I was quite nervous before the book was released. But now, after only one week, it has already received more than 70,000 favorites. I am really grateful to everyone.

The story of this healing game is still unfolding, so please feel free to read on. I've prepared nearly two hundred ghost stories for this book. As for why there are ghost stories in a healing game, that's another question, and we'll talk about it later.
