547 Source of His Confidence

“The patients at the hospital can be separated into three categories. The first is the ‘clients’ who are fashionably dressed and pursue beauty; The second is the elderlies who are there for physical and mental treatment; The third is the serious cases bound in bandages. They have no freedom. Their movement is limited to the building at the center of the plastic surgery hospital.” Shen Luo thought about it. “The doctors will provide different medications for different patients. Oh, right, the doctors are split into three categories too.”

“There are three categories of doctors?” Han Fei was intrigued.

“The first type of doctors only works in the day. They are the face of the hospital. You’ll often see them on the posters; the second type of doctor only works at night. They will begin their rounds at night. They wear doctor’s coats, but they are like the walking incarnations of Death; I’ve only seen the third type of doctor once. They rarely leave the central building. They always have their heads lowered. Their bodies are covered in wounds and bandages too.” Shen Luo told Han Fei everything he knew. The man was unlucky. When he first appeared at the hospital, he was only treated as a normal ‘client’, but as he had more interactions with the doctors, the staff upgraded him to become a ‘serious case’. At the most crucial moment, perhaps Shen Luo’s talent kicked in, and he managed to escape with a doctor who had gone insane.

Shen Luo swallowed the bread and then took out a working Id from his shirt. “The doctor who escaped with me is called Bai Chang. He’s a good man. He often looked after me at the hospital. He was my main physician.”

“Your main physician died, and you survived?” Han Fei accepted the id. There was a door keycard behind the id. He could use this to enter the hospital.

“You’re making it sound like I killed him. When we escaped, he was already severely injured.” Shen Luo looked at Han Fei with confusion. Han Fei was very familiar. Shen Luo felt like he had seen him before.

“I was only making a casual observation, don’t take it to heart. I’ll call the other players, and you should be prepared to leave.” Han Fei told Shen Luo after he made sure there was no more info he could get from the man.

Shen Luo shivered. “You’re throwing me out?”

“Take care of yourself when you reunite with the other players. Don’t come back to find me.” Han Fei patted Shen Luo’s shoulders with his gloved hand. “If you run into enemies who are too strong, just be a turncoat. Don’t feel too pressured.” Han Fei then left.

“I feel like I’ve seen him before. He’s so kind.” Shen Luo’s hunger point dropped, and his mood point rose. Shen Luo leaned against the wall and glanced at the coffee Han Fei left behind. “I can’t fall at the same place twice… Plus, no one would be dumb enough to use the same trick twice, right?”

Shen Luo picked up the cup and saw Lee Guo Er’s love note. He took a small sip and his tongue immediately numbed, and his body weakened. “What are they doing to each other?”

Han Fei left the storeroom and called Wu San. He hoped that the man could contact the other players to prepare a set of clothes and a vehicle at the company backdoor to fetch Shen Luo. After they decided on a time, Han Fei returned to his office.

Han Fei settled into a comfortable pose and started a game of solitaire. After a while, he grabbed his mug and prepared to go for lunch.

“Leader, let’s go together!” Brother Fake Plant wrapped up his work. “CEO Zhao has given us the green light. She went to negotiate with the different departments. We’ll probably see the beta test soon enough.”

“She probably can’t wait to play it herself.”

Han Fei and his four team members sat at the same table. The big television in the cafeteria played the local news. Han Fei purposely stayed away from Lee Guo Er. He sat beside Brother Fake Plant and focused on his food. About ten minutes later, Han Fei heard a familiar voice from the television. He looked up and saw Teacher Liu and the police standing at the field behind a school. They dug out the previous headmaster’s body under a sapling. The reporters kept taking pictures. Teacher Liu knelt among the mud, and she cried uncontrollably.

The current headmaster was detained. At first, he denied everything, but when the evidence piled up against him. He wet his pants despite his age and lost his face. The parent beaten up by Han Fei was one of the murderers. He was a contractor who was responsible for expanding the school. However, before the police arrived, he had already gone on the run.

‘It looks like Teacher Liu has handed the info I gave her to the police. The truth is finally revealed.’

When the police dug out the last headmaster’s body, Han Fei received notification too. “Notification for Player 0000! You’ve found the previous headmaster and completed the altar mission—What is right?

“What is Right: Growth is not wandering between right and wrong. It is not following the crowd blindly. Growth is having fear and respect as well as determination.

“Rectification of Fu Sheng’s regret increases by 5 percent. Fu Sheng’s hatred towards you is lowered by one. Congratulations on gaining a large amount of EXP and a chance to access your inventory. You’ve obtained a random altar title—Good Samaritan.

“Good Samaritan (Altar Title): This title only works in Fu Sheng’s memory world. Whenever you act as a Good Samaritan, you’ll gain EXP and increase mood points.

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve completed your first altar mission. You are now faced with two different choices.

“Choice One: Keep repairing Fu Sheng’s regret and lowering his hatred towards you. But your life will go into a countdown. Your physique will worsen, and the world will be against you. Your enemy is fate. This choice is perilous. If you die, there is a significant chance you’ll lose your memory and be assimilated by the memory world.

“Choice Two: Push Fu Sheng deeper into despair and destroy his memory. You will become the altar’s new altar. You’ll personally restore the past. You will be reborn in Fu Sheng’s body and inherit his everything. Of course, that includes his pain and despair.”

Han Fei had entered this memory world for a long time, but he hadn’t triggered any mission until recently.

‘This memory world is much larger than the Mirror God’s. Now it even gave me two choices. One is salvation, the other destruction.’ Han Fei saw the notification and felt like he was looking at the black box. “Notification for Player 0000! You have to choose within the next three minutes, or the choice will be made for you. The second choice will be taken because it matches the original owner’s memory better!”

Fu Sheng had chosen destruction. Rationally thinking, Fu Sheng would want Han Fei to choose destruction too so that Han Fei would inherit everything he had.

‘What is the right choice?’ The old headmaster chose to do the right thing. He was framed, died in shame, and was buried under a tree. ‘Insisting on doing the right thing can be very dangerous. But if everyone is stopped by fear, the next generation will forever live in a wrong world.’ Two choices represented two completely different paths.

Han Fei hesitated for a long time before sighing. “I’m sure you wish to be saved.”

Han Fei picked the first choice. He wanted to rectify Fu Sheng’s regret to pull him out of the twisted memory. When Han Fei made his choice, a drop of blood hit the table. Han Fei noticed his nose started to bleed. This was a bad omen.

“Leader?”

“The weather is too hot. I’m fine.” Han Fei wiped away the blood. He put back the tray and rushed to his office. “My body will worsen, and this world will continue to mutate. Those who hate me will start to go insane, and I will slowly lose the power to protect my family.” Han Fei knew the consequence of choosing the first choice. The former Fu Yi ruined Fu Sheng, but now Han Fei needed to pick up the responsibility Fu Yi had shed. “After the world mutated, the females might turn into Pure Hatreds. I need to make them calm down first.” Han Fei took out Fu Yi’s phone. He slipped into Zhao Qian’s office. He wanted to find out the identity of the female client. Han Fei was a well-respected detective. Thanks to his scary criminal instinct, he instantly found the info he needed on Zhao Qian’s computer. The female client’s name was Du Zhu. She was one of the company’s investors. She had a complicated relationship with the plastic surgery hospital. She was close friends with Zhao Qian and had once invited Zhao Qian to go to the hospital for treatment together.

“The female client is highly suspicious. She has been trying to induce Zhao Qian to kill me.” The female client was not a good person. She was extremely controlling, but Fu Yi was not a controllable toy. Instead of bowing down to her, Fu Yi even cheated on her.

“Du Zhu comes from a good background, but she has a perverse personality. And she is also inhumanly beautiful.” Han Fei already had a good understanding of Fu Yi. A bastard like him would be vulnerable to Du Zhu. However, Fu Yi wouldn’t settle on one woman either. “Fu Yi tried really hard to get himself killed. It’s a miracle that he survives until now.”

Han Fei recovered everything. He received an unknown call when he left Zhao Qian’s office. “Hello?”

“Han Fei? We’re here. Bring your friend.”

Han Fei hung up and entered the storeroom. The scent of coffee wafted in the room. Han Fei saw the collapsed Shen Luo. “It looks like Lee Guo Er doesn’t want to kill me anymore. She just wants to entrap me. That is an improvement.”

“Brother, do you have some problem with your wife?”

“Which wife you’re talking about?”

“Never mind,” Shen Luo shook his head.

“Get changed. We’re leaving.” After Shen Luo changed, Han Fei helped him downstairs. It was lunchtime, so there were few people at work. Han Fei sent Shen Luo to the backdoor, and they saw a secondhand van. There were two youngsters inside the van. One of them wore a convenience store uniform, and the other was in a western suit.”

“The name’s Da Yu. I’m level 15, a retired swimmer. My in-game profession is an aid worker. I focus on stamina.” The man in the convenience store uniform smiled at Han Fei and Shen Luo. He was sunny and handsome. He was extremely muscular. “What about you two?”

“I’m Han Fei, a comedy actor. He is Shen Luo. He’s in the financial business.” Han Fei pressed Shen Luo into the van and helped him with the safety belt.

“Before we leave, we have something to ask.” The man in the suit frowned. “If you wish to join us, you need to specify your attributes and profession, don’t hide anything.”

“My level is low. I haven’t received a profession yet.” Shen Luo was trapped inside the memory world for days. “Regarding my attributes…” Shen Luo was quite embarrassed. He was already low-level. If he told them his luck was zero, they might kick him out. He said after some hesitation. “My attributes are quite even except luck. It’s only two.”

“That’s quite low.” The man in the suit said before turning to Han Fei. “What about you?”

“I don’t plan to join you yet. I like to explore on my own.” Han Fei rejected the man. He only contacted these people was to find a good home for Shen Luo.

“It looks like you still have no idea the danger you’re in. This map is very, very dangerous.” The man in the suit wanted Han Fei to join them.

“It’s alright.” Han Fei had his own mission. He said and left. The man in the suit frowned as he watched Han Fei walk away. He grabbed Shen Luo’s arm. “Your partner seems confident in himself. Where does that confidence come from?”

Shen Luo gave it some thought and explained, “He has seven wives.”
