Han Fei subtly withdrew his hand and then rubbed it against the small cart behind the door.

Huang Ying's luck stat of one was already outrageous enough, but now there's another one with a luck stat of zero.

It's important to understand that an initial value of zero is fundamentally different from one, because in the shallow world, initial luck can never be negative. So no matter how unlucky someone is, their luck value can only go as low as zero.

This is like someone else getting 99 points because their ability is only 99 points, while Shen Luo gets 100 points because the maximum score is only 100 points.

Sounds emanated from the altar. Li Zai had already sensed an ominous atmosphere and began to get excited. Everyone was almost unable to hold down the lid of the altar.

Han Fei took a step back before speaking to Shen Luo: "Where are your companions hiding now?"

"I don't know, I got separated from them." Shen Luo's voice was filled with misfortune as soon as he spoke: "They said they were going to the seventh floor, but because there are killers outside, I didn't dare to wander around, so I haven't reunited with them yet."

Are you sure they didn't abandon you on purpose and run away?

"Probably not, everyone's very nice." Shen Luo looked at Han Fei with curiosity: "Brother Youfu, why can't I see your stats? What level are you?"

"My mask is a rare item that can block players from peeping, so it's normal that you can't see it." Han Fei had looked at the game leaderboard of "Perfect Life" during the day. The highest level was still Huang Ying, who was only level 19. The second place was level 17, which was also very impressive.

After thinking for a moment, Han Fei revealed his level: "I just reached level fifteen."

"Holy crap! We've run into a big shot!" Shen Luo didn't dare to speak loudly, but he was genuinely surprised: "We're saved now!"

Shen Luo started playing when the game launched, but he's only level 8 now. Leveling up in this game is extremely difficult.

"Don't get excited, your level doesn't mean anything." Han Fei glanced into the room, where the spirit altar was making loud banging noises. He was worried that it would frighten Shen Luo. "Let's go. Take me to the seventh floor and quickly reunite with your companions."

"Are we just going to go there like this?" Shen Luo asked worriedly. "This hotel is extremely dangerous. It's full of killers, like something out of a horror movie."

"It's okay. Someone as lucky as you would probably be the protagonist in a supernatural movie." Han Fei used his attribute panel to check the other person's information. He could see all of the other person's attributes as soon as he touched them.

Aside from having zero luck, Shen Luo's mental ability is also above that of ordinary people. He started with seven points and then added all the attribute points he gained from leveling up to his mental ability, so his mental ability has now reached fifteen points.

However, Han Fei discovered through his own observation that the attribute points of the shallow world and the deep world are not quite the same. At least Shen Luo doesn't look like someone with a brainpower of fifteen.

It is worth noting that Shen Luo actually possesses a hidden C-level talent – ​​a miraculous escape from a desperate situation.

This talent can only be obtained by players with a luck value of zero. The effect of the talent is simple and straightforward: when a player is in a hopeless situation, there is a chance to gain a glimmer of hope.

Although it's a C-level hidden talent, most players would find it difficult to use even if they possessed it.

For casual players in the shallow world who don't need to experience life-or-death battles, this talent is rather useless, but a glint flashed in Han Fei's eyes, and he felt that Shen Luo was also exceptionally talented.

"He has no talent related to the supernatural, but he got here by sheer bad luck. He's a tough guy."

Upon learning that Han Fei was at level 15, Shen Luo was filled with confidence. He turned to lead the way, and suddenly a crisp sound came from the room behind Han Fei.

The altar fell to the ground, and Li Zai was about to climb out when Xu Qin slapped him back down.

"Y-Brother Fu, did you hear any sounds coming from the room?" Shen Luo's Adam's apple trembled slightly.

"Don't be afraid, let me introduce you." Han Fei grabbed Xu Qin's wrist: "This is my family member, her name is Xu Qin, we were planning to do a mission together tonight."

"Another big shot?" Shen Luo quickly greeted Xu Qin. Just by looking at Xu Qin's attire, he could tell she was extraordinary—her exquisite face, her unparalleled aura, her manic blood-red pupils, and the indescribable chilling aura emanating from her...

Shen Luo had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. In the end, he decided to trust Han Fei, because he had no other choice at the moment.

Leading the way, Shen Luo was very cautious, while Han Fei and Xu Qin followed behind, as if they were on vacation.

"Shen Luo, what are your life plans in the game? What profession do you plan to switch to next?" Han Fei asked casually.

"I work in finance in real life, and the pressure is too much. I want to change my life in this game and switch to being a gardener," Shen Luo said without hesitation.

"If you work in finance, will any companies hire you? I mean, will they pay you a salary?" Han Fei tried to phrase it as tactfully as possible.

"Of course, my annual bonus is the highest in the company."

"Wow, that's amazing! Do you have some secret to making money?"

“There are no shortcuts to making money.” Shen Luo became very professional when talking about his job: “Every day I have to conduct on-site research, listen to annual reports or interim report summaries of listed companies, communicate with securities analysts or industry analysts, and after summarizing all the information, I make my own judgment carefully.”

"And then you made money?"

“Then other fund managers, investment managers, and researchers from our company will come over and put my judgment into practice. They will avoid my choices and invest in the opposite direction, and they will give me a bonus afterward.” Shen Luo revealed a hearty smile, like a typical working-class person: “I had thought about changing jobs before, but my boss and colleagues stopped me and wouldn’t let me leave. They said I was the company’s mascot, and even though I kept losing money, they wouldn’t let me leave, which made me feel embarrassed.”

"Then your company has a pretty good atmosphere."

“It’s not possible now. The boss got into trouble and went to jail. I don’t know when he’ll be out. I was very worried when he went to court, so I went to see him once. But the lawyer he hired was no good, and he got another five years in prison.” Shen Luo shook his head: “The boss has been kind to me. After I leave this instance, I will pay for a lawyer to help him find one. I’ll try to get a year off if possible.”

"Are you planning to reduce his sentence to immediate execution?" Han Fei didn't dare to get too close to Shen Luo and quickly moved closer to Xu Qin.

The three of them arrived on the seventh floor. Shen Luo looked at the number on the door and finally ran to the door of room 709.

"Brother Tie, A-Tang, are you still there?"

Shen Luo knocked lightly on the door, but no one answered for a long time, making her slightly embarrassed.

"Have you been abandoned by them?"

"Probably... not."

I rang the doorbell, and after about ten seconds, footsteps came from room 710 across the hall. Then the door to room 710 opened a crack.

"Xiao Shen, come here quickly." Judging from the voice, it sounded like an older woman was speaking.

Shen Luo led Han Fei toward room 710, but as soon as Shen Luo entered, the door was suddenly closed.

Immediately afterwards, a deep male voice came from inside the room: "Who is the person following you? How did you attract ghosts here! It's better if we split up, otherwise I'll be cursed to death by you sooner or later."

"He's a player too!"

"What player can't see their level and attributes? You know how cunning the ghosts in this place are!"

"They have a tool that can hide their level. That guy is already level 15!" Shen Luo was also very excited. He didn't want the person he had finally managed to invite to leave in anger.

"Bullshit! Do you even know what level 15 means? Our 5,000-person game strategy team's highest level is only 15!" A deep male voice said in a tone of utter disappointment, "Perfect Life wasn't originally intended to be a healing or relaxing game; it was just a way to fool ordinary players like you. This game was developed to explore human nature. I participated in the closed beta; the darker human nature is, the more terrifying this game is!"

Shen Luo was speechless after hearing the deep male voice, but he still wanted to try: "Why don't you ask him yourself? You can see for yourself whether he is a player or a ghost in disguise."

The room was quiet for a while before the deep male voice rang out again: "Alright, I'll trust you one more time."

The door slowly opened, and a burly man, as imposing as an iron tower, appeared in the doorway. He had a square face, an imposing presence, and a body full of muscles.

Looking at Han Fei wearing a mask, the man's eyes were full of vigilance. He grabbed the wooden chair in the room and blocked the doorway with his body.

"I'll ask you a question. If you can answer it, I'll believe you're a player."

A cold wind blew through the corridor, cold sweat trickled down the man's forehead, and the atmosphere inside the room was extremely oppressive, with complete silence all around.

"Listen carefully." The man held up one finger in front of Han Fei: "You only have one chance to speak."

After hearing Han Fei's answer, the burly man breathed a long sigh of relief: "Come out, everyone. He is indeed a gamer who often surfs the internet. He answered immediately as soon as I mentioned it."

Han Fei is an actor, so he knows a bit about the entertainment industry.

At first, he really didn't expect the other party to ask such a question, but after thinking about it carefully, the natives of the Deep World might really not know these things.

The burly man opened the door wide, looking somewhat embarrassed: "I didn't expect to actually run into a top-tier player. I was wrong just now, please don't take it to heart, boss."

"Being careful is necessary, after all, this is a hellish hidden map."

Han Fei led Xu Qin into the house. The burly man's eyes lit up when he heard the words "hidden map," but he didn't pay much attention to Xu Qin's unusual behavior.

Looking at the players inside, Han Fei shook hands with each of them and then asked them to introduce themselves.

Five players rushed in this time. The highest level player was a burly man whose game name was Iron Man. He was level twelve, focused on stamina, and had already become a fighter. He had participated in the closed beta and was a professional gamer who made a living from gaming in real life.

He has two lucky attributes, but the key is that he has a D-level talent called "Disbelief in Evil." Having this talent makes him a target of supernatural events.

The second-ranked student is named Yan Tang, level 10, with an initial mental strength of nine points and a luck attribute of two points. She mainly focuses on increasing her mental strength, but has not yet changed her job.

He possessed a strange B-rank talent called Daydream, which meant that the more he thought about something, the more likely it was to come true. This seemingly odd talent was the highest-level talent Han Fei had ever seen on a player, aside from Huang Ying.

The third highest level is a short video creator named Liuli Cat. She is about to reach level 10, and her luck attribute is only one point. She likes to sing and dance in her spare time and often posts videos of herself singing and dancing in various maps of "Perfect Life".

Aside from her luck attribute, the Glass Cat's other attributes are quite ordinary. Han Fei had seen her talent before, which is called sleepwalking.

The last player was somewhat unexpected for Han Fei. She was a woman in her sixties with the game ID "Sister Li". Her son was a senior executive at a company, and because he didn't have time to spend with her, he bought her the game "Perfect Life".

But this filial child never expected that Aunt Li would be sent directly to the deep world after only three levels.

The old lady knew nothing about games; all the trash and skill books scattered throughout the hallway were things she had thrown out of her inventory.

However, among this group of people, the middle-aged woman had the highest luck, with a total of three points.

Her talent is called Mourning; the stronger the longing, the more likely she is to see the person she wants to see. This is an extremely rare C-level talent.

Looking at the room full of "lucky" players, Han Fei didn't know what to say.

You could say they were lucky, but instead of enjoying their casual games, they were trapped in a deep world filled with vengeful ghosts, constantly at risk of losing their lives.

But you could say they were unlucky, since these five people actually managed to escape alive from the dead building to a hotel within the plastic surgery hospital area.

"Is this a case of two negatives making a positive?" Han Fei calculated the time. He planned to send the five players into the fog first, and then come back to do the mission: "Come with me, I'll take you to a safe place."

These people certainly couldn't have imagined that the safe place Han Fei mentioned was the very place they had painstakingly escaped from.

"Hey bro, can we add each other as friends?" Tie Nan walked up to Han Fei, wanting to find out information about the hidden map: "As far as I know, there were many deleted maps in 'Perfect Life,' and those maps may contain things mentioned in the will of the chairman of Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals."

The day before the game's public beta launch, Deep Space Technology and Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals announced the will of Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals' late chairman. All players knew that Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals was willing to exchange its original shares for the thing mentioned in the chairman's will.

"Let's think about other things after you're safe." Han Fei felt a chilling sensation coming from his ring, and he knew something was rapidly approaching. "Don't talk. When I tell you to run, hurry downstairs."

Thank you to the leader of the "Fellow Traveler's Lament" alliance!
