Chapter 531: Chapter 531: All Victims are Outstandingly Attractive (Three More Updates for Monthly Votes)

"Bang!"

A middle-aged man knocked all the high-tech devices off the table to the floor and then kicked over the smart butler next to him.

Amid the continuous apologies from the smart butler, he picked up a metal trophy from the cabinet and smashed it on the smart butler.

An alarm went off, and a male and a female secretary rushed into the room immediately.

They seemed accustomed to everything. Both stood at the door and waited until the man had beaten the smart butler to a pulp before they dared to approach.

"Didn’t you assure me that we would definitely win first place in the community this time?" the middle-aged man asked as he removed his hand from the butler’s face, with the trophy still stuck in the butler’s mechanical skull.

"We spent a lot of money to connect with the most mysterious merchant on the black market, who prepared everything we need to establish the community. As soon as the smart brain is updated, we can complete the community establishment in one minute," the male secretary said, his head lowered, not daring to look at the middle-aged man. "But we never expected someone to establish a community before the smart brain finished updating; it must be a glitch in the game itself."

"A glitch? Do you know how much I’ve invested in this game?" the middle-aged man said, sitting back down at the table. "Go and check what this Happiness Residental Community actually is!"

"Yes, President Kong."

The two secretaries left together to mobilize all their resources to find clues related to the Happiness Residental Community.

A similar scene played out in many places worldwide as the first community’s sudden appearance disrupted the plans of many top players.

Originally, everyone planned to race to create communities at midnight after the update, showing off their ability to quickly gather the necessary items for community creation. But now, someone had succeeded before the update had even finished.

This was like someone handing in a perfect score paper even before the exam had started and others had received their papers.

There were many doubts online, and all major platforms were in an uproar, but this did not affect Huang Ying and his team.

The moment the community was successfully established, a five-hundred-meter radius around the old building became Huang Ying’s personal property, and he also received additional rewards from the system.

As the first player to successfully establish a community, Huang Ying could randomly draw two from the four rewards: Special Building, Special NPC, Special Outfit, and Special Items.

Following Han Fei’s suggestion, Huang Ying shook hands with Bai Xian for fifteen minutes before drawing the lottery, and he successfully got two quite decent rewards.

"Unnamed Shrine (Grade E Special Rare Building): Your residence has attracted the favor of a Divine Spirit."

"Effect one: Increased probability of supernatural events by fifty percent, and between midnight and five in the morning, this probability doubles to one hundred percent."

"Effect two: All community members’ Mental Threshold is increased by ten points."

"Effect three: The probability of foggy weather near your residence doubles."

"Effect four: All community members’ effects of Supernatural-type Talents double."

"Night Watchman (Unique Special NPC): Your residence attracted a very old man, who, if provided shelter and food, will help you keep watch."

"Ability one (unlocked when community reaches Level G): Nobody knows how old he is; he is a very learned man who has traveled many places and knows many things. When you are confused, you may ask him for advice, but be mindful, he is very temperamental, and you only have one chance to ask him per day."

"Ability two (unlocked when community reaches Level G): The old man likes to tell stories, which are bizarre and strange, but most of them are true."

"Ability three (unlocked when community reaches Level F): Perhaps you won’t believe it, but after his wife died, the old man attempted soul-summoning, which was the biggest mistake of his life."

"Ability four (unlocked when community reaches Level E): ????"

Han Fei wasn’t too concerned about the other rewards, his attention remained on the introduction of that special NPC, particularly the Night Watchman’s third ability, which seemed related to Soul-summoning.

"Hurry and raise the community level to F, and make sure to protect the Night Watchman well; listen to his stories whenever possible to increase his friendliness," he said.

Perhaps it was holding Bai Xian’s hand that enabled Huang Ying to absorb some of Bai Xian’s luck; Han Fei felt that the two items Huang Ying drew were quite good.

"Don’t worry, being one step ahead means a lot. We’ll manage the community well," Huang Ying said after checking his Attribute Panel and then he quietly sent a message to Han Fei.

As the top figure on the leaderboard, Huang Ying still had five chances to draw.

Han Fei’s suggestion was to have Huang Ying draw only when Bai Xian was present. He meant no offense, but the other members had too low a Luck Value, gathering together might create an unlucky aura.

Watching Huang Ying and his group start constructing their community, Han Fei didn’t continue to disturb them and closed the live stream window.

"I always feel that the Unnamed Shrine has something to do with me. It seems the connection between the Deep World and the Shallow World is much tighter than I thought; the Unspeakable lurking deep within the city may have already extended its reach into the Shallow World," he pondered.

"Their low profile may have something to do with Fu Sheng."

Han Fei didn’t agree with the path Fu Sheng had chosen initially, but that did not mean he completely denied the effort Fu Sheng had made: "He was a very outstanding person, and I really want to know what he was doing when he was Level 19."

After finishing his drink, Han Fei took out his phone to search, and he discovered that tonight there was a stage play featuring Qiangwei.

"Qiangwei is most likely #019, and since I’m free, I’ll go watch his performance today."

Han Fei now trusted Huang Ying deeply, having handed over the community construction to Huang Ying and others, he no longer paid attention to "Perfect Life" and directly took a taxi to the opera house.

Upon arriving, Han Fei first got in touch with a staff member he had encountered the night before. The staff member, seeing Han Fei running around in the same outfit every day without makeup or any assistants, found it almost inconceivable.

"Han Fei, don’t you act every day?"

"I just finished ’Mystery Novelist’ and now I’m resting." Han Fei talked with the staff member about the situation in the theater and also took the opportunity to inquire about matters related to Qiangwei.

The actor’s acting skills were also very good; he seemed to have a special love for face-to-face performances with the audience on stage, which is probably why he did not enter the film and television industry and had always been performing in operas.

The staff member had a good impression of Qiangwei and kept praising him.

However, Han Fei felt that Qiangwei might be disguising himself. Last night, Jin Jun was almost killed; would a good person in modern society easily take someone else’s life?

Han Fei was chatting with the staff member when suddenly a very luxurious sedan drove up in the distance.

As the sedan passed by Han Fei, he saw through the window that Xia Yilan seemed to be sitting in the car.

"Why would she come to this place?"

After bidding farewell to the staff member, Han Fei headed towards the theater’s parking lot.

Once the car parked, the chauffeur stayed inside, and a woman who was wrapped up tightly got out of the car.

She took out her phone and made a call, then followed the instructions from the voice on the phone and entered the opera house.

"It’s still daylight, and the first opera will not start for a long time; is she going to meet someone?"

Han Fei cautiously followed behind her; his tracking and counter-surveillance skills had been honed in Deep World while dancing with ghosts, and Xia Yilan didn’t notice his presence at all.

After a few rounds, Xia Yilan entered the employees’ passage.

She looked around for a long time before finally running into the props room and locking the door behind her.

Han Fei quietly approached and, through the door panel, heard a very vague conversation.

"There have been many women who’ve visited that Plastic Surgery Hospital. Why do you keep pestering me? What exactly do you want?" Xia Yilan’s voice was loud, and she sounded very unstable; she had never used such a tone in public before.

"You stole someone else’s face; are you not afraid the original owner might come looking for you one day?" a strange man’s voice rose.

"I paid for it; what I look like is my freedom! Just delete those photos, and I can give you money, name your price."

"The photos didn’t capture you; what are you afraid of? Could it be that you killed those women?" The man’s voice carried a chill, as if he was a lifeless corpse.

"If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart!"

"Don’t get agitated; I’m just very curious. Why did those who were good-looking become your targets? Are you jealous of their beauty, or does killing them make you feel more beautiful?"

"Slap!"

Something seemed to fall in the props room, and it instantly became quiet; after a long while, Xia Yilan’s voice rose again: "I warn you, speaking recklessly might lead to unpleasant consequences."

"The last person who warned me can no longer speak to warn me." The man spoke with a spine-chilling tone: "I’m not interested in you; I need information about the Plastic Surgery Hospital. Just tell me where those kids who underwent Personality Reshaping are now, and I can destroy the photos."

"I don’t know."

"Years ago, you brokered deals using those orphans’ brains to earn what you have today. People think you’re a star, but I know this is your true face." The man seemed to show Xia Yilan something.

"Give me the photos!" Xia Yilan’s scream was loud; she was somewhat out of control.

"You know what? Even if you wear the most beautiful skin, you can’t cover the stench that emanates from your soul." The man laughed, "You are just a pitiful monster."

The room fell silent again, and over a minute later, Xia Yilan, who had regained her composure, spoke again: "I only know the whereabouts of the last child; his current name is Yantang, and due to some special reasons, he is confined by his biological father within the internal park of Deep Space Technology."
