After finishing work on the second day, I returned to my single employee dormitory.
Gu Xinghe immediately began preparations, including warnings for the nightmares that might occur tonight.
He took out several metal mechanical components from his waist bag.
These were the parts he brought from the underground laboratory of Rose Manor before entering the [Tavern of Doom] instance.
Gu Xinghe placed the relevant parts one by one on the desk in the room and began to study them carefully.
The assembly of mechanical parts is actually not complicated.
The most important factor in the final product after assembly is actually the material of the components themselves.
The small machine, which Gu Xinghe named the Type I detector, looks like a metal sphere about five centimeters in diameter.
Despite its small size, it still has the function of detecting and issuing early warnings of pollutants.
Nightmares caused by being contaminated by something strange.
Relying solely on mind-reading skills to detect whether any living people have entered his vicinity is no longer effective.
Indeed, a large part of the horror in the game's dungeons comes from unseen and eerie forces.
As for why the detector wasn't assembled and used from the beginning...
That's because this thing has zero intelligence.
Although it serves a detection and early warning function, its effectiveness depends on the surrounding pollution concentration.
The higher the level of pollution in the vicinity, the louder the detector will vibrate, until it exceeds its detection standard and "crashes".
In this sense, its function seems somewhat similar to that of a mercury thermometer.
The higher the temperature, the higher the mercury column inside the thermometer will rise.
However, mercury thermometers can also explode when exposed to high temperatures.
Therefore, once you understand it as using a thermometer to navigate through a dungeon, you'll fully realize that this thing isn't really that useful.
Because pollution is everywhere in this world, the only difference being the concentration.
It's easy to imagine that once the Type I detector is brought out in this world, it will likely be constantly on the go.
If he had taken this out at Rose Manor, Gu Xinghe guessed he wouldn't have been able to sleep all night.
It was only in such an eerily "clean" place as the Doom Tavern that the detectors seemed to show any effect.
After assembling the parts, Gu Xinghe looked at his player panel, which did not show any new skills.
While inwardly marveling at the detector he had assembled, he realized it didn't even qualify as a skill.
I was also wondering if this thing would actually work.
Thinking of this, Gu Xinghe recalled that when he concocted the Type II potion, it only barely reached the lower limit of the first-level skill.
He could only silently console himself that his first creation might have some kind of beginner protection bonus.
He placed the assembled machine on the bedside table next to his pillow.
He was conflicted, hoping the machine would make a sound to prove he had succeeded, but at the same time, he didn't want the strange occurrence to happen again.
Gu Xinghe slept soundly through the night and woke up the next day to find that the Type I detector had not made any sound.
After washing up, he sat down at his desk again.
Gu Xinghe continued studying his Type I detector until the afternoon.
His strengthened body meant he did not feel unwell despite the lack of food.
As night approached, Gu Xinghe finally put away the small sphere he had been studying for most of the day and went out of the room to rest.
As he opened the door, he saw Chen Licheng, who was also about to leave the room for the staff canteen.
As the two walked together to the restaurant entrance, Gu Xinghe could hear the players' discussions from afar.
Since it wasn't officially lunchtime yet, the restaurant, which wasn't crowded, was quite quiet.
"I don't know what tricks Gu Xinghe used, but the drinks he mixed before were truly appalling."
“When we asked him for help before, he was completely indifferent.”
"He truly has no compassion whatsoever."
"I don't know why that manager, Carl, is siding with him..."
Seeing that he was being sought after by many customers, other players seemed to have become quite unfriendly towards him.
Gu Xinghe watched as Sun Zhenbo and Luo Zhiye spoke excitedly, each saying a sentence.
The other players either looked embarrassed and didn't know how to refute, or remained indifferent.
Or perhaps, like Zhao Han who is adept at navigating social situations, she is still pondering the pros and cons of responding at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinghe stopped walking into the restaurant.
He glanced at Carl, who had just arrived at the restaurant entrance to have a meal.
The other party clearly also received Gu Xinghe's gaze at this moment.
Karl glanced at the players who were still engaged in a heated discussion, then lowered his eyes.
The eye contact ended.
Gu Xinghe thought it was a good idea, after all, how could the behind-the-scenes boss deal with people himself?
Sun Zhenbo and Luo Zhiye stopped talking as soon as they saw Carl walk into the restaurant.
Thinking this way, Gu Xinghe felt that what happened next would be very interesting.
He looked at Chen Licheng, who was standing next to him and seemed even angrier than he was.
"I won't be going to the restaurant tonight. Could you get me a meal and bring it to my room?"
"Of course."
Chen Licheng nodded vigorously.
"If you really want to help me, do you know what to do?"
"I'll do my best to find out information for you, boss."
[Of course, I'll use my position as a chef to poison them! How dare they insult my boss!]
Gu Xinghe's eyebrows twitched as he listened to Chen Licheng's thoughts.
After thinking for a moment, he quietly slipped the second Type I detector he had made into Chen Licheng's hand from an angle where no one could see him.
