The game becomes reality: Black Myth invades the real world.

"Captain Zhou, what are the special features of this book?"

Chen Fu asked the question knowing the answer already.

He certainly knew the characteristics of the Blood Gluttony Inner Landscape Fragment and which professions it was suitable for; it was only sold because it was unsuitable for those professions.

It feels like it's going to come right back to me.

As a newbie, I'd like to ask: what would be the impact if I sold it again?

"We don't know yet; we'll only see it once we have it in our hands." Zhou Jianbang shook his head. "Headquarters is currently raising money for the amulet, which will cost about three million in cash. The amount of money isn't much, but the item itself is very important."

Three million… Chen Fu almost burst into tears.

If I had known you wanted to buy, I could have made the transaction offline.

He felt that he had missed not three million, but three hundred million.

Zhou Jianbang noticed that Chen Fu was silent and assumed he didn't know what amulet money was, so he patiently explained, "Amulet money is the currency in the game. You can get it by defeating monsters, but the probability is not high."

I know all this, I'm just heartbroken about those three million... Chen Fu gritted his teeth: "Captain Zhou, why did you give me something so important?"

"Because you are outstanding, you will definitely become a pillar of the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation in the future."

Zhou Jianbang patted Chen Fu on the shoulder.

Keep working hard, the future is yours.

Chen Fu's lips trembled slightly.

If the price isn't too high, he can resell it again.

But having something worth three million in hand, which was bought while raising money for amulets, would definitely be discovered if it were to be sold again.

Zhou Jianbang may not say anything, but there's no guarantee that people in other areas of the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation won't have objections.

If things are exposed, no one can bear the charge of conspiring to exploit the organization.

Chen Fu immediately decided that he could take the money, and no one would know that he was the seller, but he absolutely could not take the skill book.

He said righteously, "Captain Zhou, I feel that this skill book is not suitable for me."

Since joining the Bureau of Spirit Investigation, Chen Fu has never revealed his profession to anyone, and Zhou Jianbang has never asked about it.

This is actually an unwritten rule.

You can only find out if you find out yourself or if someone else tells you voluntarily; otherwise, deliberately probing into someone's profession could very likely lead to information leakage.

When Zhou Jianbang used the chanting of Buddhist scriptures to erase He Lingxue's memories, Chen Fu was unaware of the details, which is why he asked.

Du Fanyu, knowing that Chen Fu was about to start work, lowered his guard and spoke up.

This approach wouldn't work in other environments.

Fortunately, no one else knew about this.

How did you determine that it was unsuitable?

Zhou Jianbang looked puzzled. This is a skill book! At this stage, apart from their class skills, no other skills can players learn. How can you say it's unsuitable right away?

He had no idea that Chen Fu was selling the skill books, and he didn't think of anything else.

"Well, well," Chen Fu's eyes darted around, and he quickly came up with a solution, "You can tell from the name, Blood Glutton, it should be related to melee classes, right? I'm a support class, so it's not a good fit."

His words were clever, drawing attention to the words "Blood Glutton." After all, he couldn't very well say it was because he looked down on it.

After listening, Zhou Jianbang pondered for a while and felt that this was indeed the case.

Judging from his attack on the fishmen just now, Chen Fu only knows two abilities.

First, throwing knives, which should be a professional skill. Second, summoning monkeys, which is very likely an item.

As can be seen from the name "Blood Gluttonous Inner Landscape Fragment," it is related to melee classes and is indeed not suitable for support roles.

Zhou Jianbang did not insist any further.

Although we don't yet know how many skills we can have in the game, getting the wrong ones will definitely affect our future development.

He didn't want Chen Fu to go astray, otherwise it would be a major loss for both Chen Fu and the Bureau of Spirits.

"Alright, then I won't give it to you. But I'll give you something of equal value instead, so don't refuse it."

After Zhou Jianbang finished speaking, he began to consider what he should give Chen Fu, and gradually came up with an idea to ensure that Chen Fu would be satisfied.

Afterwards, he told Chen Fu to rest well and that he could check out the Spirit Investigation Bureau forum if he had nothing to do. The strategy guide had already been posted, and he could ask any questions he had.

Chen Fu nodded repeatedly, finally getting rid of the trouble.

Then, he told Zhou Jianbang that his arm had recovered, and said that it was because of the experience points that it recovered so quickly.

Zhou Jian hurriedly said that he was the same. He had been injured by the black and purple aura, but after the fishman died, he gained 1% of the experience and recovered completely.

However, it's unclear whether there will be any other impact, so it's still recommended that Chen Fu observe for another day before making a decision.

Chen Fu agreed and watched Zhou Jianbang leave the ward. Unexpectedly, five minutes later, Zhou Jianbang returned.

"I heard you personally transferred 10,000 yuan to Bai Ruhua?"

Zhou Jianbang waved his hand dismissively: "How can I let you pay for this? You're working for the Paranormal Investigation Bureau. Just wait, the money will be deposited into your account along with the bonus."

After leaving Chen Fu's place, he went to Bai Ruhua's ward.

After experiencing this incident, the girl realized that even as a player, it was impossible not to encounter supernatural events.

This time, the matter was resolved amicably thanks to Chen Fu's intervention, but what about next time?

If she encountered it herself, would she resort to methods that influence her judgment to resolve the issue?

Those monsters seem completely unaffected!

Based on this idea, Bai Ruhua agreed to join the Spirit Investigation Bureau and revealed Chen Fu's previous money transfer.

She also asked in a low voice if she could be in the same group as Chen Fu if she joined.

Putting aside Chen Fu's personality, being with him still makes me feel quite safe.

Only then did Zhou Jianbang realize the efforts Chen Fu had made to increase the number of personnel in the Spirit Investigation Bureau, and he couldn't help but feel admiration for him.

Look, these are the outstanding talents of our Bureau of Paranormal Investigation!

He said the Spirit Investigation Bureau doesn't have fixed teams; everything is based on the players' own ideas. If they want to follow Chen Fu, that's perfectly fine.

Bai Ruhua finally felt at peace.

Out of sight of the two, the woman floating to the side looked at her daughter with a look of satisfaction.

That's great! My daughter has not only joined the organization, but also made friends. She will never be bullied again.

Chen Fu was deeply moved after hearing all this and hurriedly said that he was learning from his superiors.

Zhou Jianbang had done the same thing before.

Zhou Jianbang glared at him, his serious demeanor radiating outwards. He said with a hint of reprimand, "How can that be the same? I'm the boss, you're the employee. How can I let you pay?"

Finally, he left the ward, telling Chen Fu to just wait to collect the money, and went to check on Song Shuangwei and the girl with round glasses. Both girls, thanks to their experience points, had already recovered from their injuries and were fine.

This whole thing has caused quite a stir… In the hospital room, Chen Fu sighed and began to calculate his gains.

This time, eliminating the murlocs earned me 10% experience, a cash reward of 100,000, and the things Zhou Jianbang promised.

Although we don't know what it is yet, it's definitely going to be very useful.

This trip has been very fruitful.

Once the skill book is bought by the Spirit Adjustment Bureau, he will also receive amulet money, which he can then use to upgrade his skills with the Golden Jade Boy!

Everything was proceeding smoothly, which made Chen Fu feel very comfortable. Seeing that it was getting late, he closed his eyes and prepared to sleep. Before long, he began to snore softly.

……

At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Fu finished his breakfast and, full of energy, opened the game.

The chosen one must avenge yesterday's beheading, and the first thing to do is check if the skill book has been sold.

Jin Yutongzi happened to be online. In fact, Chen Fu knew that the other party was lying in the next ward. He probably logged on to the game because he was bored. Otherwise, according to his previous habits, he would probably be either delivering food or live streaming.

Golden Jade Boy: "The skill book has already been sold, and I've also joined the Spirit Adjustment Bureau."

Nobody: "Congratulations."

Golden Jade Boy: "This skill book sold for 30,000 amulet coins. After deducting the handling fee, it's 27,000 coins. I can upgrade your skill now."

Chen Fu had already learned from Zhou Jianbang how much the Blood Gluttonous Inner Landscape Fragment had sold for, and the game text had also mentioned it. Now he felt a mixture of regret and excitement.

If this were real currency, he would be a millionaire.

However, at this stage, there is no way to exchange them, and the amulet money is much more important than real currency, so upgrading skills is definitely something that should be done as soon as possible.

As for the 10% handling fee, I didn't think much of it when I first listed it, but now that I think about it, the street vendors in the capital are really shady. No wonder they specialize in ripping people off!

Chen Fu knew that without paying the transaction fee, he wouldn't be able to get the 27,000 amulet coins. He banished these inappropriate thoughts and typed.

Nobody: "Then help me upgrade my skills. How do I do that?"

Golden Jade Boy: "I'll do it, you don't need to do anything. You'll know after doing it once."

Then, a line of game text popped up.

"Chosen One, would you like the Golden Jade Boy to offer sacrifices of amulet coins to upgrade your skills?"

Chen Fu clicked "Yes".

"The Golden Jade Boy grasped your hand, and the amulet coin representing the vow began to shine. One amulet coin has been used."

"Skills are being upgraded randomly..."

"Your skill upgrade this time is experience point bonus."

"Your experience points gain have been increased."

"Ten amulet coins will be needed for the next upgrade."

The Golden Jade Boy helped upgrade the experience point bonus, but Chen Fu didn't feel anything.

He believes the reason is that no monsters were killed. Only if a bandit or a resident of Blood Blade Town could the bonus be determined.

This won't have much of an impact. We can test it out once the frying pan and silver needles are made.

Now, the game features have been added again.

**Class:** The foundation, determining the player's potential. **Dungeons:** A unique feature, offering both risk and reward. **Experience Points:** Represent the player's level. **Land Temple:** Provides save and teleport functions. **Stamina Penalty and Stamina Potions:** Influence daily playtime. **Amulet Money:** The game currency, directly related to skill upgrades.

These are features that every player should encounter, although there may be a time difference due to different progress levels, but ultimately everyone will be able to have them.

In addition, skill upgrades are random, so it seems that the two branches have significant advantages and can achieve specialization to a certain extent.

If there are too many branches that can be upgraded, it is very likely that no special features will be visible in the initial stage.

Imagine if you could upgrade five skills, but each upgrade would result in a different skill. In the early game, you definitely wouldn't be able to compare yourself to a player who specializes in upgrading just one skill.

Chen Fu took one last look at the amount of amulet money required for the upgrade. It wasn't an equal increase or doubling; it was increased by a zero! It was utterly outrageous. Without some savings, there was no way to upgrade quickly.

But for him, there was absolutely no such worry.

Mr. Chen is rich, it's just a skill upgrade, come on, let's continue!

Nobody: "I want more."

Golden Jade Boy: "Wait a moment, I need to take a shower. It's so uncomfortable to have sweat sticking to my body."

Tsk, what kind of talk is that? Anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them were doing something else entirely.

However, Chen Fu was quite curious as to why the Golden Jade Boy would sweat when his skills were upgraded, but now that the other side was not responding, he could only wait silently.

Ten minutes later, the Golden Jade Boy logged back in.

Golden Jade Boy: "I just found out that as long as you upgrade your skills, my experience points will increase."

So this is ah.

Chen Fu nodded silently. I knew it. We're a team, how could I get stronger while my teammates are still stuck in the same place?

It seems that upgrading skills is a mutually beneficial process. Otherwise, if one's skill level increases while the Golden Jade Child remains at the current level, it is very likely that one will fall behind.

He didn't want such a wonderful girl to become completely useless later on.

Nobody: "Can we continue?"

Golden Jade Boy: "No problem."

"You spent ten amulet coins to upgrade your skill."

"Skills are being upgraded randomly..."

"Your skill upgrade this time is experience point bonus."

Still this one? Hmm, I have a feeling this is a trap.

Based on the exchange rate, 27,000 amulet coins would be worth 2.7 million. So, after spending 1,100, this is what I got?

Chen Fu felt like he was one of those big spenders when it came to spending money like water.

But what can we do? We just have to keep going.

The next two upgrades also provided experience bonuses, and the cost of the amulets reached over a thousand coins. The next upgrade will cost ten thousand coins.

Chen Fu's hands began to tremble involuntarily. If it still didn't work on the fifth try, he would run out of money to upgrade his skills.

Golden Jade Boy: "Do I need to level up again? I feel much better, and my skin is even starting to turn whiter."

Chen Fu's lips twitched. The ancients were right. Indeed, there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not land that is over-plowed.

I didn't see anything myself, but things had changed quite a bit on the Golden Jade Boy's side.

However, this is all based on the view that no monsters were killed. Chen Fu absolutely did not believe that four experience point bonuses would not have any effect.

He hesitated for a moment. "The bold get rich while the timid starve. Anyway, I still have money. Let's try again!"

As Chen Fu nervously watched his phone screen during his final skill upgrade, he knew he'd run out of money if he didn't get another random supernatural event to upgrade.

"You spent 10,000 coins to upgrade your skill."

"Skills are being upgraded randomly..."

"Your skill upgrade this time is Paranormal Events Upgrade."

Chen Fu breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, spending money on in-game purchases is addictive, but the results are still very good!

Four experience point bonuses and one supernatural event upgrade can provide him with great help in both reality and the game.

He now has only 15889 amulet coins left, and the next upgrade requires 100,000 coins, which is no longer enough to cover the costs.

But it doesn't matter, this money can be used to buy other things, and if we find a way, we might be able to exchange it for real currency, so it will be useful in the end.

Golden Jade Boy: "You don't have much money left for your amulets. What are you planning to do next?"

In response to the inquiry, Chen Fu replied.

Anonymous: "Does the Underworld Market sell anything else now?"

Chen Fu wanted to see if he could buy some equipment that could provide immediate combat power, and then go to Blood Blade Town to kill monsters and see how much experience he actually gained.

Golden Jade Boy: "Let me see, just a moment..."

Golden Jade Boy: "Not yet. After the skill books were sold, many people ran out of money."

Nobody: "Then I'll go advance the plot. Oh, and don't tell anyone about selling books."

Golden Jade Boy: "I understand."

After giving his explanation, Chen Fu exited the chat interface. It wasn't that he didn't want Zhou Jianbang to know, but he was mainly afraid that it would be awkward for both of them.

The current outcome is quite good. The Spirit Investigation Bureau obtained the fragment of the Blood Gluttonous Inner Landscape, and he has the amulet money to upgrade his skills. It's a win-win situation where everyone gets what they need.

Chen Fu began to explore Blood Blade Town.

"You entered Bloodblade Town and met the man who had lost his son before."

"He recognized you and swung his sword."

"Your head has flown away."

"The mountains are silent, activate."

"Your head has flown away again."

Chen Fu scratched his head. "Tsk, this game is trash. I only clicked once and died twice."

What exactly did I upgrade after spending so much money?

"A paranormal event has been triggered."

"You were wandering around on the verge of death when you discovered a red spider lily."

"The exquisite petals captivate you, and you forget yourself as you draw closer to gently inhale their fragrance."

"You have gained 4% experience points."

You can even gain experience points after dying...

Tell me, is this thing supernatural or not?
