Lin Feng continued his search, spending 5 hours in the workshop area where he ordered a bowl of noodles that would keep him full for 10 hours before returning to the trading area.

Outside the trading area were other participants dressed in black robes, mostly standing still searching for what they wanted. Occasionally, a few would enter the trading area and wander around, perhaps having found the items they desired.

"The Killer's Invitation (No. 9***1): You may enter the world of the Killer. Complete the mission and leave immediately. Nightmare Points: 300"

"Silent Hill Invitation (No. 2***4): You may enter the world of Silent Hill. Complete the mission and leave immediately. Nightmare Points: 300"

Upon seeing some invitations, Lin Feng had some thoughts. If he prepared the necessary items before entering, he would indeed have a significant advantage. However, he also understood that these worlds had been tested by other participants, and entering them again would involve certain risks and the loss of many opportunities.

"The Water Ghost's Resentful Object: The holder is continuously hunted by the Water Ghost. Nightmare Points: 100"

"The Ghost Card: A ghost card that houses a ghost infant, granting the holder three wishes. Nightmare Points: 300"

"Cursed Videotape: After viewing, the holder will be granted an extra seven days of life, after which they will face pursuit by evil spirits. Nightmare Points: 150"

"On the seventh day after watching the cursed videotape, possessing the Water Demon's resentful object, does that mean I have a guarantee?" Lin Feng analyzed, then thought of the blessing he was given, which was called a curse.

"Once inside my personal space, I'm absolutely safe. If I need anything, I can ask Louis to trade for me... This is arguably the most insidious and powerful method in the early stages..."

Gradually, an idea formed in Lin Feng's mind: perhaps he could find something that could help him in the things he was familiar with.

"Search for in-game skills related to the Devil May Cry and Necromancer classes!"

"Spirit Summoning: The user can communicate with spirits and borrow their power. Nightmare Points: 50."

"Necromanticism: Sell your soul to the undead in exchange for their power. Nightmare Points: 50."

"Descent of Nicholas: Summons the undead of the Spider Prince Nicholas. Nightmare Points: 800."

"Kazan, the Soul of the Blade: Summons the phantom of Kazan, the Soul of the Blade, granting additional attribute bonuses. Nightmare Points: 500"

Are the core skills for a class in the backstory really that cheap?

This is something Lin Feng is familiar with; it is the true core ability of the Ghostblade and Necromancer classes in the game's background, and it also comes with the ability to gain spiritual vision.

These professions require learning these skills to further open up career paths.

Just like the power of the devil, only by breaking free from the blood curse through one's own willpower can one be considered to have officially awakened and become an Avenger.

Compared to some expensive skills, Lin Feng was certain that he should choose these skills with greater potential for development, and most importantly, he was familiar with them.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng did not immediately exchange his tokens. Instead, he returned to the workshop area and found Louis, who was always on standby there.

Louis, who was looking around for a suitable target, immediately turned around with a smile and greeted the respectful and generous participant with the assigned number.

"Hello, dear participant number!" Louis's eyes darted around, making Lin Feng suddenly sense a subtle change, as if it were a living thing.

"you?"

“Me? Oh~ you mean my eyeballs, supernatural artifacts become like living things with use.” Louis moved his eyelids slightly, and they immediately became more lively.

After understanding, Lin Feng suppressed the surprise in his eyes and asked, "I want to verify some of my conjectures."

“Okay, please ask.” Louis immediately stood up straight, waiting attentively for Lin Feng’s question.

"If different curse-type items are used on the same person, will they provide protection?"

“Yes, sir, but the curses must be of similar strength, otherwise the stronger curse will devour the weaker one.” Louis nodded quickly and answered Lin Feng with a hint of approval in his eyes.

Those who can target cursed items so soon after entering the Nightmare Space are far ahead of the curve. Most people choose to spend money on abilities they like, thus ignoring many problems.

Of course, in many cases, Louis would only make suggestions and would not directly participate in the client's choices.

"So, what happens if a cursed person enters a cursed quest world?"

"Oh, sir, I must say your idea is spot on. For example, the currently popular Sadako curse. If you enter the cursed world, you will be directly pulled in front of Sadako, and then different tasks will be generated depending on how you hold her."

"For example, becoming Sadako's subordinate, killing other participants, or being killed by Sadako directly. If your method of possession is to control Sadako or through a contract, Sadako in the mission world will gain a certain level of intelligence based on the world information you experience after holding the contract, and thus propose a trade."

Other participants? World information experienced? Proposed deals?

Lin Feng immediately incorporated this information into his thinking.

Seeing this, Louis waited quietly.

After a long pause, Lin Feng continued to ask, "If two participants possess the same curse, and possess it in the same way, will the curse be strengthened?"

“Sir, you’ve hit the nail on the head. If all the curses are used passively, then the curses will double in number.” Louis praised without reservation. “In this situation, you can use more curses to offset them, or you can use other items to suppress the curses.”

"For example, the scientific soul-isolating device produced by workshop No. 332, the psychic cube. It only takes 5 years to obtain this device that isolates human-level evil spirits."

Louis pulled out the instruction manual for the Psionic Cube from his hand. The cube looked like it was made of transparent glass, with a strange rune on each of its squares, shimmering slightly. Even just looking at the picture, it made you want to take a second look.

The duration is 2 hours, and the duration will shorten as the number of attacks increases... Lin Feng saw the prompt that Louis had specially marked.

"Furthermore, if both sides can manipulate and utilize the curse, or if only one side can manipulate the curse, then the weaker side will naturally be powerless to resist."

"By the way, have you purchased any satisfactory space equipment?"

Louis's sudden question instantly woke Lin Feng up. Yes, he should purchase a suitable spatial device!

Their eyes met, and Louis smiled knowingly, "Sir, besides eyes that can see through the darkness, the second most important thing when entering the Nightmare Space is spatial equipment. This time, I'll recommend a few different types of spatial equipment to you."

"The first type is spirit runes, which is a method of opening up one's own soul space through special rune tattoos. After opening, the soul space will grow larger as the soul becomes stronger. Once it reaches a certain level, it can even raise strange creatures and transplant plants, which is equivalent to a small world."

"The second type is a material compression device. After a special machine is implanted under the skin, it can compress and store items of any size, but special compression particles need to be purchased in the workshop area."

"The third type is a space ring, a small spatial device that keeps time frozen. It is easy to access, and the price varies depending on the size of the internal space."

"The fourth type is the game inventory, a stackable, foldable equipment system. It can only equip a single item, but it can be purchased repeatedly to increase the number of items that can be used."

"Sir, spatial equipment is actually a very important item. For example, after you purchase it, you can also buy some food and life-saving devices. In case of any special circumstances, you can lock yourself inside the device, obtain food through the spatial equipment, and return to the Nightmare Space after the mission is over."

"Um...is this okay?"
