My Healing Games

Chapter 950 The Sunny Boy and His Happy Community

Without comparison, there is no harm. Han Fei had only seen "Perfect Life" in game trailers before. Now that he had actually come here, even his steely will, which could not be broken by hatred, was tinged with a trace of bitterness.

"Of course I feel happy to live here."

Han Fei looked at the incredibly realistic world before him, opened his arms and let the breeze blow on him; the feeling was so comfortable.

"No need to worry about the threat of death, no murderers or vengeful ghosts, you can freely do whatever you want, that's life."

After his reflection, Han Fei turned his head and saw Wu Chang's soul melting away in the sunlight, instantly pulling him back to reality: "Don't look directly at the sun!"

Han Fei took off his coat and held it over Wu Chang's head. The two of them hid under the shade of a tree.

"Sit here for a bit, I'll try to contact some friends." Han Fei opened the in-game chat window. The once empty chat lobby was now completely full, and a sense of panic filled the chat: "What should I do? I'm a little nervous. This is the first time I've seen so many people. Should I send voice messages or text? Would adding more emojis make us seem closer?"

Having played Perfect Life for so long, this was the first time Han Fei had seen so many living people talking; the chat lobby used to be empty every time he opened it.

"Found them." Han Fei remembered Bai Xian and Jin Jun's game IDs and identification numbers, and contacted them directly, asking them to prepare some vehicles to come over.

A few minutes later, Han Fei received a reply. Jin Jun and Bai Xian were unable to leave the city; they were currently trapped in the main urban area. If they forced their way out, strange patterns would grow on their bodies, causing them unbearable pain. However, they had already contacted a special NPC in the Happiness Community, who would send supplies and vehicles.

The two men also specifically instructed Han Fei that once he entered the city, he might never be able to leave again. They hoped that Han Fei would think it through carefully and make sufficient preparations before making a decision.

Knowing that players couldn't leave the main city, Han Fei simply released all the neighbors, allowing everyone to enjoy the shallow world as well.

This world wasn't exactly friendly to them; the sunlight would melt their bodies, and the ubiquitous vitality would consume their yin energy. But even so, everyone was still incredibly happy. Even Li Zai, who was usually quick to criticize, patted his belly and looked at the sea of ​​flowers with his younger brother.

"Should we let Xiao Ba come out and see the real flowers too?" Han Fei picked a flower and handed it to Wei Youfu.

“She seemed a little scared and didn’t want to come out.” Wei Youfu put the flowers into his pocket: “This world is beautiful, but she was hurt in that beautiful world.”

“We can adapt slowly.” Han Fei stayed with his neighbors, and after a while, cracks appeared in the ground where they were, the flowers and plants withered, and a gloomy atmosphere lingered. There wasn’t even a single insect chirping around.

The ghosts from the deeper world carried a heavy aura of yin energy. When they gathered together, they directly altered the original terrain, turning the grasslands into barren wastelands, devoid of all life.

"How about... we find another tree to stay under?" As Han Fei and his group moved, a caravan appeared in the distance, led by an old man, and all the carriages had the name of Happiness Community written on them.

If other players saw this caravan, they would definitely make way immediately, because this caravan belongs to the number one player community - Happiness Community, and is also the caravan of Huang Ying, the number one player in Perfect Life.

The old man spotted Han Fei from afar. He deliberately avoided Han Fei's gaze and stood at a distance, shouting to Han Fei, "The supplies and vehicles have been delivered. Be careful after you enter the city. Contact me anytime if you need anything, and I will gather the items and deliver them to the edge of the main city."

After saying that, the old man decisively drove away in a carriage without looking back, as if he was deliberately avoiding Han Fei.

"The NPCs in this shallow world are quite quirky." Han Fei let all the neighbors into the carriage, took over the old man's place, and led the convoy toward the main city.

Funny faces crowded around the car window, curiously looking at the outside world. The ordinary scenery seemed full of unique beauty to them.

Two hours later, Han Fei saw the main urban area, with all sorts of magnificent and exaggerated buildings standing on the horizon. The city was larger and more spectacular than any city in human history. It was said that the city could accommodate tens of millions of people doing tasks online at the same time, and it was a true core building complex of the spiritual world.

However, the main urban area was shrouded in a light gray fog, making the originally pure white buildings somewhat indistinct. The entire city seemed to be being eroded by some force, slowly sliding into the abyss.

"arrive."

Standing at the ten-meter-high city gate, Han Fei felt a bad feeling. The city gate was open, but there was no one around. Everyone seemed unwilling to come near.

"Once you go in, it may be difficult to get out, but if you want to ruin Meng's plan, you have to enter the city."

Without hesitation, Han Fei rode the lead horse and entered the city in a high-profile manner.

The moment he passed through the city gate, countless dream dusts landed on him, trying to form butterfly patterns on Han Fei's skin, but they were easily crushed by the laughing ghost patterns. The other neighbors who had run out from the deep world were also unaffected.

"This Dream Dust must be specifically designed to target players."

The wooden wheels of the carriage rolled over the road, and after the long caravan had entered the main city for a hundred meters, players began to appear one after another.

Accustomed to a normal, perfect life, they now look worried, their faces devoid of joy and happiness.

"A caravan has entered the city!"

"Whose caravan is this? Coming into the city at this hour? Have they lost their minds?"

"It's Happiness Community! The caravan from the First Community has entered the city!"

Players could communicate through the chat lobby, and within a short time, a large number of players converged on the North Gate.

Everyone was in despair when the caravan from the First Community entered the city, bringing them a glimmer of hope. Perhaps the First Player Community had found a way to leave.

Without Han Fei needing to notify Bai Xian again, Bai Xian and Jin Jun, who were trapped in the main city, already knew that Han Fei had entered the city through the chat hall. The two sent Han Fei the coordinates of the Happiness Community's location in the main city.

More and more players gathered around, and some recognized Han Fei, the former famous horror movie actor, who sat at the front of the caravan. The aura he exuded was completely different from that of ordinary players; seeing him was like seeing a ghost movie come to life.

The major guilds also began sending people over, keeping a close eye on Han Fei and trying to get firsthand information.

"Is that Han Fei? How did he get into the Happy Community? I heard that only the top players in the First Player Community can join after passing layers of assessments. Could it be that this police informant is also very good at games?"

"He looks even more handsome in person than on TV. He's so cold and has an indescribable, otherworldly beauty."

“I had heard that Han Fei liked playing video games and would stay at home every day after get off work, so many paparazzi who followed him were not interested in him.”

People were discussing it amongst themselves, and some even started looking for Han Fei's ranking on the lists, but he couldn't be found on any of them. Many suspected that Han Fei had enabled information hiding and was anonymously listed.

There were many onlookers, but no one blocked the road or dared to rob the caravan. Han Fei arrived smoothly at the Xingfu Community's base in the main city.

Huang Ying in the shallow world is not only the strongest player, but also one of the richest. He bought the best location in the main city several versions ahead of others and built a temporary guild headquarters in the most prosperous area of ​​the main city.

The value of this temporary base is equivalent to that of several second-rate guilds.

The vehicles lined up one by one, and Han Fei handed out black robes to his neighbors, instructing them to put them on before getting out of their vehicles and entering the residence.

Tens of thousands of eyes are watching them now, and all the players are curious about what the members of the First Player Community look like.

One figure after another emerged from the carriage, spreading a chill that seemed to freeze the entire street. Wei Youfu and Li Zai were alright at first, but when Wuchang appeared, everyone who met his gaze felt as if their souls had been stolen away.

After resting and recovering in the carriage, the fickle black fire reignited. He had devoured the demons in the abyss of greed in the shrine world, and his hatred was already at its peak. Even if he was rejected by the shallow world, ordinary people would have no chance to resist him.

"How terrifying! What kind of monsters are these?!"

"As expected of the community created by Huang Ying, the number one player, it probably brings together elites from all walks of life."

After the supplies were moved into the residence and the delivery was completed, the gate of the Xingfu Community residence was closed.

"Please make yourselves at home, everyone. Just treat this place as your second home." Jin Jun had the NPCs bring out various delicacies, while he and Bai Xian stood at a distance to the side.

"What's the situation in the city now?" Han Fei waved his hand, and the neighbors who had come from afar in the deep world removed the black robes covering their faces, revealing their sinister expressions. Some neighbors looked no different from ordinary players, such as Wei Youfu, but others were clearly abnormal, such as Li Zai, who had a deformed body, and Ku, who would hug the spirit altar wherever he went.

"After a night of negotiations, the top 100 guilds have decided to join forces to explore those nightmares." Bai Xian took out a map of the main city: "Eleven shrines surround the main city, and each shrine emits a thick fog. All buildings shrouded in the fog will gradually become abnormal. To stop this from happening, the shrines must be destroyed. However, the paradox is that players need to pass one nightmare after another in order to get close to the shrines."

Bai Xian's expression was somewhat helpless. He opened the player chat lobby and viewed a real-time data ranking list updated by guild players: "After a night of strategy, only the Inevitable Truth Guild has cleared the fourth level of Nightmare, a few top guilds have cleared the third level, and the vast majority of guilds are still stuck on the second level. The higher the level of Nightmare, the more difficult it becomes. What's even more terrifying is that dying in a Nightmare feels like a real death. This is a survival game where you risk your life!"

Jin Jun, who had been silent until now, also sighed: "Playing games is supposed to be relaxing, but now you have to pay the price of brain death to have a chance to escape. Many players have given up, so even the top guilds can't organize a few decent raid teams. In our guild community, only Bai Xian has passed the second level of Nightmare."

After listening to Bai Xian and Jin Jun's words, Han Fei tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He noticed that the rules of the shrines in the shallow world were different from those in the deep world. Of course, it was also possible that the shrines in dreams were special: "Can people from the same guild enter the same nightmare?"

"The rule we've figured out so far is that if three people enter a building shrouded in fog at the same time, they might end up in the same nightmare. But if there are other people inside the building at the time, the probability decreases." Bai Xian took out the precautions written by Bi Yi Zhen Li. Even after the disaster, Bi Yi Zhen Li didn't hide anything and shared his exploration experience: "For example, next time I enter the shrine, I'm going to explore the third level of the nightmare. If you and I enter the building shrouded in fog at the same time, then there's a chance that we'll both end up in the third level of the nightmare."

"Can only three people be together at most?"

“The number of players in each nightmare is not fixed, but there can only be a maximum of three people traveling together. This is an inevitable truth that has been tested in one layer of nightmares.” Bai Xian sent the list of precautions to Han Fei.

After glancing at it briefly, Han Fei nodded slightly: "According to their guess, as long as someone can clear all the nightmares, they can destroy the shrine and prevent the fog from turning the whole city into a ghost town. In that case, the exploration mission can be given to top-tier players only. There's no need to send ordinary casual players to their deaths."

“No.” Jin Jun scrolled down the list, and at the bottom he wrote a speculation: “The eleven shrines have created countless nightmares. The more players explore the nightmares at the same time, the lower the overall difficulty of the nightmares will be. If top players want to go further, they need ordinary players to help share the power of the shrines.”

"It seems we need to mobilize everyone." Han Fei leaned back in his chair, pondered for a moment, then stood up: "Where is the nearest shrine to us?"

"Do you want to go and try it?"

"I want to see how many floors I can clear in one go."
