Chapter 23 Hot Spring Bath (11)

When leaving the copy, Yi Han just felt a slight headache. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the main god space and relaxed a little, he fainted on the bed.

It seemed like I slept for a very long time, and I had a dream that I hadn’t had in a long time.

He dreamed that when he was 10 years old, his parents died unexpectedly, and all kinds of relatives he had never seen appeared inexplicably, saying that they would take care of him, but they asked him about the property and savings left by his parents in various ways, and their eyes could not hide their greed - so he refused the care of these "relatives" and insisted on living alone. Because he was too young to work, and was afraid of living beyond his means, he squeezed into the corners of the morning market and night market to sell small items in the cold early morning and late at night. Sometimes he was bullied by unreasonable customers and seemingly kind colleagues. He secretly remembered all of this and waited for an opportunity to retaliate.

Later, as he grew older, he became taller and his fists became harder, so few people dared to bully him in public. Everyone basically pretended to be kind, but Yi Han was clear-headed and could never hide the malicious intentions hidden under the skin of others. He would not save face for evil people, nor tolerate any bad habits, so he gradually became the slightly cold and difficult to mess with person he is now. Therefore, teachers and classmates did not like him very much. When he was a student, he had the most frequent contact with various hooligans and school bullies: he could beat two to three on average every semester. After he was able to work part-time, the people who were often beaten also included weird bosses and extreme colleagues.

From the age of 10 to 20, Yi Han has seen the fickleness of human nature and has experienced all kinds of difficulties. When he was pinned down in an alley and beaten, he could grit his teeth and endure it, waiting for an opportunity to break the man's ribs. When he had a fever to the point of being unconscious or was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed, he could crawl to the hospital by himself and successfully recover.

Therefore, no matter what difficulties he encountered, he believed that he could overcome them.

——Even though he was in this real escape game, with the goal of the seemingly impossible 100 million points, and the ghosts with various abilities that he had never seen before blocking his way, he never doubted that he could do it.

…

[System prompt: The debuff Ghostly Mind has been removed! ]

[The player successfully escapes from the illusion with his own will and obtains a permanent buff: Determined Heart (Immune to attacks from ghosts' mind manipulation abilities)]

Yi Han suddenly broke out of his muddled dream, sat up gasping for breath, and found himself lying on the bed.

It was not his bed in reality, but the single bed in the small room without doors or windows in the main god space.

By the way...he has been gone from the real world for many days.

Yi Han rubbed his forehead, calmed down a little, and then merged reality with the dream just now.

I took out my phone and checked the time.

"...Three days have already passed?" Because he was deeply trapped in an inexplicable dream during these three days, the system automatically deducted points and bought him enough rest time.

Yi Han recalled what happened before he fainted, and then thought further back before he understood the situation.

When he retrieved the key from the bottom of the water, he discovered the ghostly shadows above his head through his enhanced underwater vision. He intuitively knew that they were not good things, so he simply found another way out and drained the water from the pool. On the surface, the water was drained and the ghosts seemed to have disappeared, but in fact, they should have entered Yi Han's body at that time - and then lurked there, waiting for him to leave the copy, and then suddenly attacked and took him into a dream.

I didn't expect this difficult dungeon to be so cunning that even if the player successfully cleared it, it would still plant a bomb in the human body. If the player's mind was not firm, he might be controlled by it and die in the dream after running out of points... Fortunately, Yi Han escaped from the dream with his instinct, and got a permanent buff.

Yi Han confirmed with the system that the influence of the ghosts had been completely eliminated, and then he felt relieved. He turned off the system setting that automatically renewed his rest days, then opened the app to check the rewards from the previous game.

[Clear level, basic points: +200]

[96% of the level clearance contribution, ranked first among all players, bonus points: +100]

[Scene exploration degree 100%, bonus points: +50]

[Eliminate 6 NPCs, Bonus Points: +90]

[Total points for this level: 440]

[Difficult mode integral coefficient: 1.5]

[Final score of this level: 660]

[Clearance Rating: S]

Now Yi Han’s accumulated points have exceeded 1,000 points, and the two-star level can be unlocked.

This also means that his online food store can now be operated in all one-star copies.

In fact, from the beginner level to the newly released one-star difficult dungeon, Yi Han has begun to feel that his S-level iron pot is not enough to hold the fort. The ghosts in the level are getting stronger and stronger. After all, his iron pot is just a kitchen utensil (the sad boss ghost: So you still remember it?) and not a serious weapon. If he doesn't upgrade it, he will probably be unable to defeat the ghosts in the two-star dungeon.

So now he has to do two things:

1. Find a way to upgrade the iron pot.

2. Buy a secondary weapon of similar quality from the mall, which can be used in situations where blunt weapons (? ) are not suitable.

Whether it is upgrading an S-level item or buying another S-level weapon, it obviously requires a large amount of points, and the business area that has been expanded to the entire one-star level can just bring more profits to Yi Han's store. However... although he already has 4 dishes in his recipes, he is still the only one operating the kitchen utensils. The efficiency is too low...

"Is there any way to get someone else to do this job for me?" Yi Han pondered.

The system store does sell a variety of servants, but the iron pot belongs only to him and no one else can operate it.

Yi Han was flipping through the escape game app and accidentally clicked on the forum page.

"By the way... the social function has been turned on." He hadn't had time to take a look yet, and didn't know if there would be any information in the forum that he could use.

Yi Han opened the personal information column of the forum page and casually registered his player name as "y". Before he started reading the posts, he received two friend requests from three days ago.

One is called "Yanyan" and the other is called "Durian Yogurt", they are two girls in the hot spring level.

Before leaving the dungeon, they told him that after the social function was turned on, he could find teammates who had played together in the historical clearance records. It seemed that after obtaining his consent, the two of them sent him a friend request as soon as they left the dungeon.

Yi Han added them both, and then saw that the status behind their names was "Sleeping".

The time in the main god space is now morning, which is the perfect time for players to catch up on their sleep.

Yi Han flipped through the clearance records, and the novice level column showed that he cleared the level alone, without any teammates. The teammate in the "Endless Stairs" level was nicknamed "Jian Lin", and according to Yi Han's understanding of this person, this was probably his real name... This kid was so cautious, I don't know how he survived for so many days.

Not only is Jian Lin alive, his progress in clearing the game has even surpassed Yi Han's. Behind his name it says: "In-game, level name: Madhouse (two stars)".

He is still in the dungeon at this time, so this level is probably not an ordinary short dungeon.

Yi Han thought for a while and sent him a friend request. However, the system prompted that the other party was in the game and would not receive the request until he left the level.

I first exited the friend page, returned to the forum, and started checking the posts.

Just like ordinary game forums, the escape game forums are also divided into "strategy area", "trading area", "flooding area" and so on...

On the side of the entire forum page, the most eye-catching thing is the total points ranking of all players.

Yi Han's ranking number was displayed as several million... and the anonymous player ranked first had accumulated more than 80 million points. However, there was only one player with such a high score, and there were only a few players with more than 10 million points, and there were also a few players with several million points.

Scrolling down, there is the second ranking list, called the average score list, which ranks people by their score rate when they clear each level. On this list, Yi Han's nickname "y" is listed first.
