Chapter 019: Harvest and Strengthen
It was already evening when he woke up from a deep sleep, Su Cheng flicked his eyelids and looked at the alarm clock next to his pillow, he had slept for ten hours this night, and now it was time for dinner.
"I've slept for so long." Taking off his pajamas, Su Cheng went naked to the small bathroom and took a cold shower.
In the bathroom mirror, he saw that his body seemed to be much stronger than before, and a few strong abdominal muscles could be faintly seen on his stomach.
It seems that the horror game of that pit dad is not completely without benefits, at least it can exercise the body and the ability to withstand being frightened.
Su Cheng's fingertips slowly swiped across his fatally wounded chest, and the moment he left the dungeon, the injuries on his body were completely healed in less than a second, and not even a slight scar was left.
Even the most advanced medical technology in modern times could not restore Su Cheng's body to its original state in an instant. It was like his body had been reset by a mysterious power.
Is this horror game really a black technology that surpasses modern civilization?
So what kind of existence is it that creates horror games, aliens or ...... God?
Speculations and questions kept popping up in his mind, and the more he learned, the more incredible he felt.
In the end, Su Cheng shook his head, as if to throw some messy thoughts out of his mind.
He is not a person who likes to drill the horns, and sometimes the more he drills the horns, the more he will not be able to solve the problem, but will produce more troubles. As he continues the game, he will always find clues that will lead to the answers he wants.
The premise is that he can survive the horror games.
When he came out of the bathroom to dry himself, Su Cheng happened to bump into Ryosuke Araki, who had just returned to his apartment, carrying a bag of food and drinks bought from the convenience store downstairs.
"Su Cheng, are you not feeling well, why did you sleep so late and get up?" Ryosuke Araki put the bag down and sat cross-legged at the table.
"I slept a little late yesterday while playing games."
Ryosuke Araki nodded in understanding, and handed over a "It seems that you are also single" looks.
"I bought you a bento at a convenience store, and you can take it to the microwave and heat it up." As he spoke, Ryosuke Araki took out a Japanese-style bento from a plastic bag and placed it on the table.
"I'm sorry for you."
This Japanese-style bento sold in the convenience store has tonkatsu, vegetables, eggs and some seafood, which is nutritionally balanced, but the taste is light, and for Su Cheng, who is used to eating great Chinese food, he can fade out of his mouth if he eats too much.
However, one of the advantages of this Japanese-style bento is that it is more convenient to eat and the price is much cheaper than going to a restaurant.
It is very suitable for a poor international student like Su Cheng whose pockets are whiter than his face.
Taking out a few yen coins from his wallet and paying them to Ryosuke Araki, Su Cheng took advantage of the hot bento to open the icon of the horror game.
Poke the game record, and a copy settlement list pops up on the screen.

"After the dungeon is settled, you have obtained the basic reward [Small Piece of Soul Crystal] x10 for clearing the dungeon, and the hidden quest reward [Pupil of Sin] (mysterious item)"
"Since the player has received an S-level clearance evaluation, an additional reward can be drawn."
Su Cheng chose to be sure, and just like last time, three cards with skeleton patterns flashed on the screen for him to choose randomly.
Clicking on the skull card in the middle, a black potion with an ominous aura appeared on it.
"You've obtained a primary demon's blood potion, and the reward has been given to your character's backpack."
【Primary Demon Blood Elixir】
Type: Alchemy Elixir
Quality: Normal
Effect: Slowly heals from injuries for a period of time after taking the potion, and can activate the effect of demonic power, increasing the strength by 1 point.
Seeing the effect of the primary demon blood elixir, Su Cheng's eyes lit up. The Demon Blood Flask may be a little less effective than a regular recovery potion, but it has the added effect of increasing the strength of the potion and can be very useful when it matters most.
Just for him to drink this bottle of potion refined from demonic blood, it seems that there are some psychological and physical obstacles to overcome.
【Eyes of Sin】
Type: Mystic props
Quality: Rare
Description: The magic pupil from the abyss makes all the evils in the world unhidden
The introduction of this [Pupil of Sin] prop made Su Cheng feel in a fog, and he couldn't understand what kind of effect it had at all.
Su Cheng tried to equip the [Pupil of Sin] to the character of the game, but suddenly his left eye darkened, and the retina seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, and the whole world became a little unreal in his eyes.
"It's a strange feeling."
After a while, the strange sensation in the left eye disappeared. Su Cheng's eyes returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
So, Su Cheng stared at Ryosuke Araki, who returned to the room, for a few seconds, and still didn't see any special picture. However, Ryosuke Araki was startled by Su Cheng, who was suddenly standing at the door of the room, staring at his jade body with a strange face.
Back in the living room, an upgrade prompt pops up on the game screen.
"The player's level has increased, the current level is bronze fourth, please choose an ability to strengthen."
Su Cheng looked down, and four options appeared on the character interface.
1. Strengthen the body and soul (affects the character's physical strength and stamina)
2. Strengthen the power soul (affects the character's strength and burst)
3. Strengthen Sensitive Soul (affects the character's speed and nerve response)
4. Strengthen the soul (affects the character's mental power and skill damage)
The four basic abilities of the character are related to the positioning of the character in the dungeon, such as the meat shield player of the head iron, which is mainly to strengthen the body soul and the power soul. If you stand in a distance and release skills or heal players, you need to strengthen your Mind and Sensitive Souls.
Of course, players can also go off the beaten path and cultivate a Fatan that strengthens the Mind Soul and Body Soul type, or a violent melee mage, all of which will work.
This requires players to put their ingenuity to good use.
Su Cheng hesitated, strong physical fitness is undoubtedly very important in horror games. Since he often runs and exercises at night, his physical fitness is not bad, and he doesn't need to be strengthened for the time being, so he gives up first.
Then there is the Soul of Wisdom, which is related to the character's mental power and skill damage. I don't know what the mental power is for, but Su Cheng hasn't learned the active skill yet, so he still gives up.
Between the power soul and the sensitive soul, Su Cheng finally chose the sensitive soul.
The increase in strength is far less cost-effective for him than increasing the speed and strengthening the nerve reaction, as long as his speed is fast enough, he can also beat the powerful zombie monsters.
"It seems that the final reward of the game seems to be related to the difficulty of the dungeon and the length of the game, and this time it can be said to be a wave of fat." After absorbing the energy in the [Small Piece of Soul Crystal], Su Cheng obviously felt that his physique had improved a lot, his waist was no longer sore, his legs were no longer painful, and he was also energetic in slashing monsters.
"Players clear the second dungeon, and the point mall function is opened."
According to the guidance of the game, Su Cheng entered the game's points mall.
The trick is that this points mall is also divided into levels, and he can only browse bronze-level props.
The vast majority of the points mall are all kinds of primary specialization skill books and recovery potions, and occasionally there are skills that are actively released, but the price of some practical active skills is so expensive that people smash their phones.
It's no wonder that active-release skills are very rare and can sometimes play a very important role in dungeons.
For example, Reiko Sato's death resistance, if it appears in the points mall, even if it is marked at a sky-high price, it will be taken away by the player in an instant.
There are a lot of weapon defense items, and there are even spells in the mall that are specifically aimed at ghosts and ghosts, but the price of such charms is quite not cheap, and the average novice player can't afford to spend it.
As for mysterious props like the [Pupil of Sin], there are none.
"Beginner Knife Skill Specialization Experience Book, 180 points a book, seconds!"
Generally speaking, the price of the combat type specialization experience book is a little more expensive, compared to the hand-to-hand combat specialization experience book and the firearm specialization experience book, which cost more than 150 points.
Life experience books are relatively cheaper, but the vast majority of players will spend their points on combat specializations.
Su Cheng bought 10 beginner sword mastery experience books in one go, and counting the points reward of the [Zombie Canteen] dungeon of 588, his game points were only more than 1,000 points.
After eating all the 10 primary sword mastery experience books, Su Cheng's sword mastery skill proficiency skyrocketed, and he was promoted from E-level to D+-level.
"Congratulations to player Su Cheng for upgrading his sword mastery to D-level, please select additional attributes."
1. Primary sword qi (activates sword qi when launching a slash, hurting people invisibly)
2. Broken Steel (Strike with all your might, cut through steel with swift force)
3. Ghost Slash (The slash comes with the power of ghosts and gods, and can cause damage to undead creatures such as ghosts, evil spirits, bloodlines, and demons)
The first option, the primary sword qi, has a pitiful small range in the initial stage, and it is basically useless, so give up directly. Broken Steel has the strongest attack power, but Su Cheng still chooses to slash the ghost slash with the power of the ghost god.
In some dungeons, ghosts, evil spirits and other undead creatures often appear, and the role of ghost slashing among the three additional attributes is undoubtedly the largest.
After settling the harvest of this dungeon, Su Cheng just closed the game interface, and a news popped up on his phone.
"In the early hours of this morning, there was a death incident in an apartment building in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, the deceased was Shio Harano, male, 25 years old, unemployed. Police revealed that the cause of death was suicide, and further investigation is underway. ”
This news also attached a photo of Shio Harano, although his eyes were mosaic, Su Cheng still recognized at first glance that this Shio Harano was one of the participants in the game.
The dead in horror games are really dead in the real world!
