Chapter 169: Chapter 169: One-on-One Tutoring with a Famous Teacher

Given Han Fei’s current physical condition, he could hardly even walk, making it impossible for him to go searching for this life, so he could only slowly regenerate his blood here and wait until he had endured gaming for three hours.

Opening the Attribute Panel, Han Fei invested all the Skill Points he had accumulated into the ability called "Accessing the Depths of Souls’ Secrets," which had now reached the elementary fourth level.

In the recent fight, Han Fei had discovered unexpectedly that this ability was very useful and truly deserved to be an ability rewarded for completing a grade-F hidden mission above his level.

In Han Fei’s view, this ability would probably enhance significantly in the future, and perhaps when it was upgraded to the highest level, he could indeed treat Ghosts and Monsters as simply as assembling and disassembling a jigsaw puzzle.

Dreaming optimistically, Han Fei checked all items and skills; then, he took out Shu Mengting’s diary from the Item Bar.

The item description stated that this object, if used well, could significantly increase Shu Mengting’s friendliness.

Turning over the light red cover, each page of the diary seemed as if it had been soaked in water, with the words somewhat blurred, and most of them were difficult to recognize.

Frowning as he read, the diary recorded everything that had happened to Shu Mengting from her perspective.

Completely isolated, she felt as though she had been thrown into a labyrinth, surrounded entirely by paths, yet none was an exit.

She was in pain, uncomfortable, and confused, but at this time, someone helped her.

The first time she harbored negative thoughts, she ran alone to the hill behind the school, and while she was crying out of grievance and fear, the school’s Security Guard found her.

The security guard, known to the students as Old Li, took Shu Mengting back to the school.

Old Grandpa Li, knowing that someone was bullying Shu Mengting, specifically went to speak with a teacher, but unfortunately, the person in charge at the time was called Ma Manjiang.

This man with a beastly heart knew about Shu Mengting’s plight and, despite appearing to help her, had ulterior motives.

Shu Mengting grew increasingly frightened, and in the final stage of her life, Grandpa Li noticed the problem, but it was unfortunately too late.

"The security guard’s surname is Li. This old man is the first victim in the Kaidan case, it seems this security guard knew many secrets of the school." Through Shu Mengting’s diary, Han Fei figured out the frequent addresses of the Security Guard, feeling that this guard might also be a "good person" worth befriending.

After reading Shu Mengting’s diary, Han Fei turned his attention to Zhang Guanxing.

The former Building Chief’s approach was too singular; he was unwilling to truly trust and accept Fierce Ghosts, but Han Fei was different. Since entering the Deep World, Han Fei had begun making efforts to befriend all sorts of demons, ghosts, and monsters, seeking everyone’s help while also trying to alleviate their sufferings.

Han Fei had not yet encountered the most malicious intent of human nature, so for the time being, it was hard to comment on whose method was better, but judging solely by the speed of resolution, Han Fei was clearly more efficient.

Turning his head to look at Zhang Guanxing, Han Fei continuously scrutinized the other person.

For a Fierce Ghost to retain sanity was an incredibly difficult task, and Wei Youfu, in order to maintain his sanity, had abandoned all his power, willing to be a weak Residual Soul.

The deeper the Grudge and the stronger the power of the ghost, the harder it was to retain sanity, and so it was also harder for Han Fei to gain their friendship.

Thus, Han Fei now thought of another way: he wanted to nurture the other party himself.

The One-eyed clerk from the convenience store and Zhang Guanxing were both Grudges with decent power and great potential, but most importantly, they were willing to trust Han Fei unconditionally. Finding such friends in the Deep World, let alone in reality, was exceedingly difficult.

Being stared at all the time by Han Fei, Zhang Guanxing’s cloudy eyes were full of confusion, "Teacher, is there something you need?"

"Since you’ve called me teacher, I really should teach you a few things," Han Fei began after a moment of reflection, "I want you to remember what I’m about to say."

"Okay." Seeing how serious Han Fei was, Zhang Guanxing became earnest as well.

"I’m not teaching you a specific subject. I want to teach you the principles of being human and how to survive better in this world." Han Fei had been in the Deep World for a long time, and unlike most of the Fierce Ghosts dominated by pain and despair, he was constantly thinking with all his might about how to stay alive.

When faced with the pressure of survival, people unleash their potential to the fullest, and Han Fei also saw another, more genuine self of his in this Deep World.

Using nearly two hours, Han Fei first helped Zhang Guanxing open up his heart, then, by giving specific examples and narrating them with emotion, he described how to confront danger and how to assess situations.

In this Deep World filled with Fierce Ghosts and Monsters, boundless kindness is suicidal. To survive, one must arm oneself with cunning, ferocity, and rationality, but ultimately, those are just weapons wrapped around the body.

To walk farther, one also needs a steadfast heart, within which must be hidden the last light and the bottom line of being human.

Nobody had ever told Zhang Guanxing these things before, and each of Han Fei’s words struck deep into his heart.

After Zhang Guanxing understood what it meant to be human and what kind of person he should be, Han Fei broke down some Acting and deceit to prevent him from being cheated or seen through by others.

Zhang Guanxing learned very quickly; although he appeared to have given up on learning, he was actually very smart.

Through a painstaking teaching process, Han Fei truly felt like a teacher in that moment, preparing to cultivate Zhang Guanxing into a capable assistant who could stand on his own.

As they took over more buildings, and before acquiring transportation, it was very likely that Han Fei wouldn’t be able to attend to some buildings, so he needed a trustworthy, highly intelligent, and adaptable partner.

By the time he could freely exit the game, Zhang Guanxing had learned a great deal from Han Fei, and his cloudy eyes also had a trace of clarity.

The current Zhang Guanxing might not yet believe that there is hope in the Deep World, but he was slowly being swayed.

Teaching is a profession that passes on the torch; perhaps one day in the future, even if Han Fei died unexpectedly in the game, Zhang Guanxing, influenced by him, would pick up the torch in Han Fei’s heart and keep moving forward.

After three hours, the Dark Energy inside Han Fei finally dissipated, and his Blood Volume began to slowly recover.

"I might need to leave for a while later, remember well the things I’ve told you. Roughly by Midnight tomorrow, I’ll come back to find you." Han Fei was ready to log off—the Blood Volume was recovering, but his energy was nearly depleted.

"Teacher, with such severe injuries, you shouldn’t go out. If there’s anything you need to do, you can let me handle it,"

"No need, just try to stay in the dormitory and don’t wander around," Han Fei said as his Blood Volume returned to a healthy level, he moved his body and sat up from the bed.

He had the Black Giant Python hide in the room and opened the door of the dormitory.

The corridor seemed to have more bloodstains; faint children’s arguments and dull footsteps came from upstairs, and a strong stench wafted in the air.

Not daring to stay too long, Han Fei silently closed the dormitory door, then chose to exit the game.
