My Healing Games

Chapter 181 F-Level Manager Mission - Inspecting Teachers

The actors have already been chosen?!

The remaining actors in the waiting room looked at each other, many of them, as professional actors, unsure of what expression they should wear at this moment.

I spent a whole hour memorizing the script, feeling excited and nervous, and I even drank two cans of energy drink. Now the staff is saying that the actors have already been chosen.

"It's over?" Standing at the front of the line, A-Cheng stared blankly at the staff at the door, almost swallowing the gum in his mouth. "We haven't even started yet, how can it be over? Nobody has even gone on stage!"

Many people go through three stages after suffering a sudden blow: disbelief, frantic questioning, and finally, resignation.

Ah Cheng is currently in the first stage. He took a few steps forward, scaring the staff so much that they dared not enter the room.

"The actor chosen was Han Fei, who was the first to go on stage. Actually, the director had high hopes for him from the beginning, and a large part of the reason why Director Zhang came to Xinhu City was because of him." The staff wanted to comfort Acheng and hope that he could take it easy.

But he didn't expect that Ah Cheng's face would turn red after hearing his words of comfort.

"Didn't you just say that you would be genuinely happy for whoever gets selected?" The staff member noticed that everyone's expressions were off and dared not say anything more: "Well... the theater lights will be turned off soon, so if you don't have anything else to do, you can leave now. We're going to clean up."

"Impossible! Something must have gone wrong. Why him of all people? A supporting actor? A supporting actor I wouldn't even give a second glance to." Ah Cheng gripped the script tightly in his hand. He didn't turn around to look at the other actors in the room. At this moment, his face was bruised and purple, as if he had been slapped hard several times.

“Ah Cheng, we’ll have another chance in the future…” Wu Li felt a little sorry for Ah Cheng and wanted to comfort him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Ah Cheng grabbed the script and left.

The people in the waiting room looked at each other awkwardly. Staying there would only make things more embarrassing, so they each made up an excuse and left the theater.

……

Han Fei walked home alone, completely oblivious to what the other young actors in the waiting room might think; he was simply trying to walk his own path.

"The salaries for theatrical films are indeed exceptional. After Director Zhang and his team prepay part of my salary, I'll be able to buy a game pod."

The acting profession is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Before becoming famous, all the income combined is less than what you earn working a regular job. You suffer the most scorn and hardship, and it's hard to get a return on your efforts. In the end, 90% of actors choose to give up and leave the industry.

But things change after you become famous. Once you become a star, your income will increase many times over.

Han Fei has finally made it big. From the moment he appeared on the actor ranking list, his life began to change.

Han Fei was quite excited to be able to participate in Director Zhang's film, and even to play one of the most important roles.

But all his excitement vanished the moment he stepped through the door.

Looking at the gaming helmet on the table, Han Fei gave a wry smile: "I might end up in the newspaper tomorrow, with headlines like 'A Rising Star Actor Dies at Home After Playing Games All Night.'"

No matter how wonderful the future may be, you still need to be able to live to see it.

Han Fei discovered that his life had truly changed dramatically after he obtained the game helmet. He began to look forward to tomorrow and the future, and started to strive to live on.

"Humans are truly peculiar creatures. When they have nothing to lose, they don't cherish it at all, living aimlessly and wasting time. But when life is given a time limit, people will do everything they can to live for another twenty-four hours."

Reaching out to touch the healing label on the game helmet, Han Fei felt that his life was now intertwined with this game.

Does a perfect life truly exist in the world?

The digital clock on the wall ticked away. Han Fei composed himself and found the layout of the infirmary of Yimin Private College online, memorizing every detail inside.

Ma Manjiang is likely to be guarding the corpse, so Han Fei needs to enter the infirmary the moment he logs into the game, open the cabinet door, and then jump out the window with Jin Sheng to leave.

I rehearsed it in my mind several times, each step precise to the second.

Time passed second by second, and finally it was midnight.

Having connected all the cables and made all the necessary preparations, Han Fei put on the gaming helmet.

Bloodshed descends!
The moment the system notification sounded, Han Fei moved his body to the right.

A pungent, putrid stench, a chilling, cursed aura, and a coldness that felt like it was freezing your fingers—several sensations rushed in at once!
Without any hesitation, Han Fei kicked open the door to the infirmary, just as he had rehearsed in his mind.

I rushed toward the cabinet where the medicines were stored in the infirmary, because many of the medicines could not be exposed to sunlight, and that cabinet was located in the deepest corner of the room.

Almost at the same moment Han Fei rushed into the infirmary, several blood-red arms slammed down on the spot where he appeared, making several loud noises.

Blood was splattered everywhere, and Han Fei knew there was something behind him, but he didn't even dare to turn his head.

For him right now, every second is incredibly precious!

His body shot out like an arrow, and as the opponent launched their second attack, Han Fei arrived at the cabinet at the deepest part of the infirmary.

He grabbed the cabinet door and forcefully opened it!

"Jin Sheng!"

Han Fei is now gambling with his life; he has no other choice.

The dark cabinet door was opened, and as Han Fei looked inside, the system's voice rang in his mind.

"Attention player number 0000! You have obtained a G-level cursed item—Jin Sheng's Workbook, and successfully triggered an F-level administrator mission—Yimin Private Academy Inspector."

"Yimin Private Academy Inspector (F-level Manager Task): In the school, teachers are like parents to the children. You must care for and love all students, respect their personalities, and help them develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically. While fulfilling your educational responsibilities, you must also eliminate anyone who wants to harm the students."

"Attention! Due to the significant difference between the player's level and the quest requirements, an additional quest prompt has been added!"

"Each manager's task is formed based on the memories of the previous manager. You will enter the manager's memories. There is no penalty for death here, but you will lose some memories."

"Attention! Completing all the ghost stories in the school will significantly reduce the difficulty of the administrator's tasks. The ghost story completion progress is now four-sevenths!"

As the notification sounded in my mind, a scarred arm emerged from the cabinet.

Han Fei instinctively grabbed that hand, and then his body was pulled toward the cabinet.

Losing his balance, Han Fei glanced back before falling.

Dragging countless acts of malice, the completely crazed Ma Manjiang stood in the corridor, its body cracked open, roaring as it charged toward the wardrobe.

Only by bringing Jin Sheng's homework could the secret in the wardrobe be triggered. Ma Manjiang's expression was completely distorted, his heart was torn open, and blood was pouring down.

Just as the cabinet door was about to close, boundless malice enveloped a blue butterfly that flew out from Ma Manjiang's heart and followed Han Fei into the cabinet.
