My Healing Games

Chapter 398 Global Public Beta
Huang Ying never imagined that his brief three-minute conversation with Han Fei would require a lifetime to heal.

His screams shattered the silence of the Deep World, attracting even more curious glances.

Naively, he thought that leaving the academy would allow him to escape the clutches of evil, but after rushing out of the school gates, he realized that the night had no boundaries.

What he previously thought was the most terrifying thing was actually just the beginning.

"I'm not going to be number one anymore! I'm not going to be the number one player anymore! Really! I want to go home..."

There's no turning back now that the arrow has been released. Han Fei and many neighbors are also protecting Huang Ying. Just then, Han Fei is preparing to thoroughly "clean up" the dead building area to see if there are any cursed objects or like-minded friends who have been missed.

Under Huang Ying's guidance, he also completed several G-level tasks and found some fresh ingredients for his neighbors.

Living in the shadow of songs and butterflies, the people of this area have been suppressed for too long. Tonight is their night of revelry.

Huang Ying was the signal for the banquet to begin. Some of the things he encountered became guests at the banquet, while others were served on the banquet table.

The pent-up resentment within them is being released; the madness of the ghosts and the remnants of their humanity from their past lives intertwine. They make no attempt to conceal their true selves, fully enjoying the night.

Five hours passed, and after Huang Ying fainted and was revived countless times, this player, destined for greatness, finally reached his limit.

The prudent Han Fei used his Soul Return talent on Huang Ying after confirming that Huang Ying could not be awakened.

"Brother Huang, this is all I can do to help you. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself."

Huang Ying, in his revival state, appeared so peaceful, as if he had ascended to heaven.

After Huang Ying left, the Li brothers were particularly saddened, and the Mirror God was also reluctant to part with Huang Ying. It originally wanted to lock Huang Ying inside the mirror.

Lured by Huang Ying, some deeply hidden ghosts in the Dead Building area couldn't help but jump out. Han Fei took the opportunity to "clean up" the Dead Building area, and now he could explore other areas with peace of mind.

The division of areas in the Deep World is rather chaotic. Normally, it is divided according to streets, but if there is hatred in the buildings on a certain street, then several nearby streets will be assigned to the area where the hatred is located, such as the Dead Building.

In the deeper world, each place where hatred resides is a separate area.

If Han Fei wanted to explore further, he would inevitably have to enter their territory.

Normally, if a living person like Han Fei enters the other party's territory, the other party will not have a strong reaction, or even sense it at all.

If an ant crawls into your yard, do you really have to crawl out of your coffin to crush it?

However, if Han Fei enters with a large or top-tier level of resentment, the outcome will be completely different. Once discovered, the other party will definitely try every means to devour the outsider.

"The previous building manager's map didn't specify anything, but all the places marked with red crosses should at least be inhabited by hatred, right?"

The dead building was marked separately by the previous building manager. Based on the strength of Butterfly, Han Fei could roughly deduce the meaning of those markings on the map.

He was extremely lucky to kill the butterfly; normally, even if he brought all his neighbors with him, he would still have no choice but to run away if he encountered hatred.

"Let's take it one step at a time. We can't rush things. Let's first get in touch with the singing and get Fu Sheng's second memory fragment before thinking about anything else."

Standing in a dilapidated building, Han Fei looked behind him. When he first logged into the game, he was just a tenant in Building 1 of Happiness Community, but now he has built a large residential area with multiple functions, including a school, shops, a pet store, a flesh and blood factory, and a security company.

Thinking about it this way, Han Fei realized that the game he was playing was indeed related to simulation and management.

"Pet shops that sell animals to their owners, convenience stores that stock up on a lot of underworld specialties, security companies that provide services to slaughter owners, and meat factories controlled by animals—these industries alone are not enough to compete with other areas, nor do they have any core appeal to attract ghosts from other areas to come here on their own… It seems I still have a long way to go."

After discussing future plans with everyone, Han Fei decided that after exiting the game, he would use his extraordinary memory to learn more about city building.

While others neglect their studies by playing games, Han Fei studied like crazy to play games, acquiring far more knowledge than an actor needs.

After dealing with everything, Han Fei and everyone returned to Happiness Community, where he exited the game in the original haunted house.

As the city was stained crimson with blood, Han Fei regained consciousness and discovered that the singing in Citang Street was still watching him.

"Why are you staring at me? Do we have some irreconcilable feud?"

After removing his gaming helmet, Han Fei climbed out of the gaming pod, gulped down several mouthfuls of water, and then pulled back the curtains.

On the giant virtual screen connecting heaven and earth, only one countdown remained, and the day that countless people had been waiting for was about to arrive.

Opening social media forums, most of the trending topics were related to the launch of "Perfect Life". Han Fei also truly felt that the times might really be about to change.

The biological revolution and the intelligent revolution arrived simultaneously, overlapping with each other, resulting in an explosive development of technology in a short period of time. This has created a technological gap of more than a decade between top technology companies and the general public in remote areas.

While many people are busy making a living, a second life built in the virtual world has become a reality.

That vast, ever-renewing virtual city is like the paradise that countless people once dreamed of, and now the ticket to that paradise has a price tag.

"A paradise for countless people, a hell for me alone."

Gazing at the countdown on the giant virtual screen, Han Fei felt a surge of emotion: "My game ID is 0000. I doubt anyone will even realize that Zero exists."

Han Fei ate breakfast for two, but to his surprise, he found that he didn't feel full at all; his appetite was much larger than before.

After clearing the table, Han Fei called Huang Ying, but no one answered.

To make sure Huang Ying was safe, he made a special trip to Huang Ying's home.

After learning that Huang Ying was not seriously injured, he went directly to the meat processing plant's residential compound to begin filming for the day.

Han Fei's return was a shot in the arm for the production team, and everyone was full of energy.

This reflects not only trust in Han Fei, but also high expectations for the film's box office performance.

Today's filming didn't finish until 8:30 pm. Director Zhang worked overtime to finish some of the work for the next day. Because he knew that "Perfect Life" would be launched at midnight, he specially reserved time for everyone to play the game all night and scheduled the start time for tomorrow's filming to be at 2 pm.

Even a traditional and serious director like Zhang has made changes, which shows the influence of "Perfect Life" on people.

After filming ended, everyone rushed back to their homes, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets.

Han Fei, walking alone in the shadows by the wall, appeared somewhat lonely.

He ate a hearty meal at a small shop run by an old lady on the street. He listened to the old lady's complaints, occasionally replying with a few words, but always with a smile on his face.

Looking at the elderly man tending the shop alone, Han Fei thought of Meng Shi in Happiness Community. The memories the Deep World left him with weren't all dark and terrifying; at times, they also made him feel warm and comforted.

The smile on Han Fei's lips slowly froze. He had actually tried to smile, but he found that he still couldn't manage a genuine smile.

Trying too hard to smile will only make your expression look stiff.

Considering that there would be relatively few guests tonight, Han Fei ate a lot, which was also to reduce the burden on the elderly.

Back home, Han Fei searched online for information on urban management and construction, and studied books until 11:55 p.m.

He put down the book in his hand and looked out at the giant virtual screen.

The countdown is almost to zero. At this moment, many people around the world, like Han Fei, are staring at the giant virtual screen above their city.

As the last second ended and midnight arrived, the digital display on the giant virtual screen transformed into a sky full of dazzling and beautiful fireworks, almost illuminating the night!
"Perfect Life," independently operated by the seventh-generation AI, is now officially in open beta!
"I probably won't be playing games alone anymore from now on."

Turning around and entering the gaming pod, Han Fei put on the gaming helmet and logged into his Zero Game account.

As his consciousness returned and the bloodstains in the city faded, Han Fei noticed that the bloodlust in Ge Sheng's eyes seemed to have intensified, indicating that his opponent's strength was slowly recovering.

"We can't delay any longer, let's go to Citang Street tonight."

Opening his eyes, Han Fei found that the deep world had not changed at all. Regardless of whether "Perfect Life" had been released for public testing or not, this place was shrouded in eternal darkness, with not a single ray of light able to penetrate.

Taking out Yinghuo's phone, Han Fei called his neighbors and they all went to Yimin Private Academy.

Before heading to Citang Street, there was one more crucial thing he needed to do.

Calculating the time, at 12:10, Han Fei used his Soul Summoning talent to call out Huang Ying's name again.

He was also a little nervous, as this was the first time he had used the Summoning skill after the game's official launch.

A few seconds later, a middle-aged man wearing a cheap white shirt appeared in the classroom. Huang Ying hugged his knees and ran back the moment he saw Han Fei.

"Brother Huang! Calm down! It's me, Han Fei!"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because Huang Ying ran even faster. However, all of Huang Ying's attributes had been reset, and he couldn't outrun Han Fei, whose stamina was as high as 24 points.

During his pursuit of Huang Ying, Han Fei discovered something very strange: after touching Huang Ying, he could actually see Huang Ying's attribute panel!
Including hidden attributes and hidden talents, nothing about Huang Ying could be hidden from his eyes.

In the game "Perfect Life", players cannot see each other's hidden attributes. Only a small number of NPCs with extremely high privileges can see all of a player's hidden attributes.

"what's the situation?"

Even without Huang Ying saying it himself, Han Fei now understands Huang Ying's attributes. From a player's perspective, Huang Ying's attributes are already quite good.

With a stamina level of six, above average, players typically start with an average stamina level of only four.

To Han Fei's surprise, Huang Ying's brainpower was as high as nine, just a little short of the maximum value of ten. He didn't know if it was because the butterfly had been tormenting Huang Ying's brain, or if he was just naturally intelligent but hadn't shown it yet.

The next hidden attribute is a bit hard to describe. With a luck rating of 1, most people would probably delete their account and start over, since luck is quite important.

His charm rating is five, which is average, unlike Han Fei's impressive negative ten.

All players have a fixed health value of 100, while the mental threshold varies depending on each player's ability to withstand stress. Both of these values ​​are crucial.

When a player's health reaches zero, they die, just like in real life. The mental threshold, on the other hand, determines the depth a player can explore. There are many mental threshold restrictions in the game, which is to protect players and prevent them from being overstimulated.

Huang Ying's mental threshold is terrifying. The mental threshold of a normal player is below ten, while Huang Ying's mental threshold is thirty-seven. His mental endurance is now extremely strong!
Compared to the closed beta, the game characters have gained several hidden attributes such as happiness, reputation, and personality, and leaderboards have been added.

Just like the inside information Huang Ying had obtained before, the first major event in "Perfect Life" is to seek the true meaning of happiness. After players enter the game, the more happiness they increase within a specified time, the richer the rewards they will receive in the end.

Han Fei also took the time to check Huang Ying's happiness level. The initial happiness level was -100, leaving a huge room for improvement. Han Fei's last few E-level curses were not wasted at all.

After observing the attributes, Han Fei then began to examine Huang Ying's hidden talents.

To determine whether an initial account is top-tier, the initial attributes don't actually matter much, because the AI ​​generates the game character directly based on the player's own abilities, and the attributes don't fluctuate much. What you really need to look at is the hidden talents randomly generated for each account.

An account's initial hidden talents will determine its potential and future.

Scrolling down the attribute page, Han Fei's eyes widened when he saw Huang Ying's hidden talent.

"Person's name: Huang Ying".

"Hidden Talent 1: Long Illness Makes One a Doctor (E-Rank Talent): You are not good at physical labor, have a weak immune system, and often get sick, but this has also given you an extremely high medical talent!"

"Hidden Talent 2: Spirit Communication (C-level Talent): I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky. After possessing this rare talent, you may see things that ordinary people cannot see and experience things that ordinary people will not experience."

"Hidden Talent Three Nightmare (A-level Exclusive Talent): You once had a long nightmare. After dying repeatedly, you gained the ability to control nightmares. With this exclusive talent, all brain-related professional talents increase, the speed of gaining proficiency in brain-related skills accelerates, and the compatibility with dream-related professions increases."

Han Fei never expected that Huang Ying, who looked so ordinary, actually possessed three hidden talents.

According to statistics from the official website of "Perfect Life", the probability of a player's initial account having a talent is one in five, the probability of having two talents is one in five hundred, and the probability of having three talents is one in five thousand.

"It seems like Brother Huang is really going to make it big this time."
