Chapter 214: Chapter 214: The Best Partner (Third Update, Monthly Ticket Request)

Looking at the scattered talisman papers, vermillion, horsetail whisk, Daoist Heart Method, and Buddha Aspect, Han Fei honestly felt quite moved.

Of course, if Huang Ying had brought some slightly more useful things, he would have been even more moved.

"Brother Huang Ying, I’m already embarrassed that you brought so much stuff with you," Han Fei said. "How about I give you some special products from the Underworld to take back with you?"

Han Fei opened his item bar, which truly didn’t contain a single thing with a trace of yang energy.

"Try them out to see if they work!" Huang Ying urged, handing a bottle of Evil Exorcism Holy Water to Han Fei. "In order to prepare these items for you, I sold off most of my assets accumulated since the test began. Some of these are antiques and collectibles, very expensive ones!"

"Really?" Han Fei opened the bottle containing the holy water and sprinkled a little on Zhang Guanxing’s body, then he and Huang Ying both stared intently at Zhang Guanxing. "Does it hurt?"

Zhang Guanxing savored the feeling for a moment and then shook his head. "I don’t feel anything, you know?"

"Maybe we’re using it wrongly," said Huang Ying, taking the bottle full of holy water from Han Fei’s hands. He rummaged for a leaf, dipping it in the holy water while muttering instructions from the manual, and after brewing it for a while, he flung the water-soaked leaf towards Zhang Guanxing. "Now!"

With the leaf on his head, Zhang Guanxing gave Huang Ying a puzzled look, and then turned to consult Han Fei with his eyes, as if to say, isn’t this guy an idiot?

"This holy water is something I won at an auction! I had high hopes for it," Huang Ying said, setting down the holy water before moving an entire box of talisman over. "I get it now; our Eastern ghosts need Eastern methods. Try these instead."

Han Fei also tried his luck, attaching the talisman papers to the little pet raised by Zhang Guanxing and Xu Qin. It took a great deal of effort, but in the end, they had no effect whatsoever.

"Brother Huang Ying, were you duped? Even if there are things in this world that can exorcise evil, those items should be extremely rare and precious, and probably difficult to buy with money in the short term," Han Fei said, aware that in the Deep World, there were things that could suppress grudges, like the amulet Meng Shi gave him and the three cigarettes left by the previous building chief.

However, the principles behind those items’ ability to exorcise evil were entirely different from what Huang Ying had in mind; they used deeper hatred and despair to intimidate grudges.

"Was I scammed? But the key item description says it can exorcise evil!" Huang Ying still couldn’t accept it.

"Brother Huang Ying, although you still maintain human emotions and consciousness and have the warmth of a living person, you’re actually in the state of a wandering soul. If a certain item makes you feel uncomfortable, then it may indeed be effective against fierce ghosts," Han Fei said. He had harbored a sliver of hope initially, but unfortunately, exorcism items are not so easily acquired.

"I’m a wandering soul? But my skin still feels warm?"

"If you stay away from your body for too long, or if you stay in this place too much, you’ll get cold," Han Fei patiently explained. "It means just what it says, you’ll get cold, and you might never be able to go back."

"Don’t scare me," Huang Ying said, sitting amidst the pile of items. Although they were of no use, they still offered him some psychological comfort.

"Your idea was good, and it has given me some food for thought; maybe we can do something big in the days leading up to the end of the sixth internal test," Han Fei said, looking at a backpack behind Huang Ying that was filled with a variety of miscellaneous items. "Brother Huang Ying, what’s in that bag?"

"The items that give a boost to the nurses’ and female doctors’ favor, are all things they like," Huang Ying said earnestly. "During the internal test, the game progression was all accelerated, but even then, raising favor was still difficult. Various quest items were very hard to come by, so I brought these things into Deep World. If the main storyline doesn’t change much after the public test, I can use these items to gain their favor at the fastest speed."

"You came up with such a method, really a genius, but why don’t you use your advantage to level up and improve your professional skills?" Han Fei didn’t quite know what to say. "After the public test, Perfect Life’s Smart Brain will definitely release major events. If you could shoot up the rankings as fast as possible, you might get better rewards."

"Little brother, you just don’t understand. Perfect Life is different from those combat games. According to the insider information I’ve received, the first major event isn’t about leveling up or who earns more money but is related to happiness and fulfillment," Huang Ying spoke in a tone veiled with mystery. "This is all insider information, make sure you don’t tell anyone else."

"Happiness?" Perfect Life’s Shallow World is genuinely a Healing-type game, something Han Fei had indeed forgotten.

"The first major event might involve players finding true happiness and inner satisfaction, with rankings based on the increase in Happiness Degree," Huang Ying said cryptically. "These are all insider messages; you absolutely mustn’t tell others."

"The degree of increase in Happiness Sense?" Han Fei’s mind worked quickly. He glanced at Huang Ying and then turned his gaze to the Yimin Private Academy, shrouded in darkness and teeming with Fierce Ghosts. "Brother Huang Ying, do you think this Happiness Sense... can it become negative?"

Huang Ying felt an ominous premonition inside him. "It shouldn’t, right? What are you thinking?"

"This is what I’m thinking." Han Fei patted Huang Ying’s shoulder. "After the public test, while you set up your character, I’ll find a way to drag you into Deep World, and then throw you into a place full of Fierce Ghosts and Monsters. Your initial Happiness Sense would definitely be especially low."

"????"

"When your Happiness Sense drops to rock bottom, I’ll then send you back to Shallow World. I may not be able to help you raise the ceiling, but I have the ability to keep lowering the floor for you!"

Watching Han Fei say this so naturally, Huang Ying was dumbstruck. Only today did he truly understand what the Devil looked like. "This... This isn’t very good, is it?"

"Going through the bitterest hardships is what makes someone superior to others!"

Han Fei didn’t see anything wrong with his idea. After all, he too had fought his way out of a crowd of Ghosts. "Brother Huang Ying, regardless of what happens with Perfect Life, our lives have already changed. We need a powerful character who can act in the Mortal World, and that person is you."

Seeing Huang Ying still hesitant, Han Fei continued to whisper beside him. "Don’t you want to experience the feeling of dominating the charts in such a nationwide game?"

"One step ahead means being ahead at every step. With the rewards in hand, your character will become even more perfect. I’ve heard that in Perfect Life, there are many things that not even money can buy."

"Brother Huang Ying, countless people are fighting and clamoring for such an opportunity!"

"For you, you just need to endure it for a little while, and then you can have a starting point that all players will look up to."

Listening to Han Fei’s words, Huang Ying also slowly felt there was some sense to it. "Then.... maybe I’ll give it a try when the time comes?"
