Chapter 224: Chapter 208: Spend Happily!

Wise people always have self-awareness and maintain a reverence for the unknown, even a national-level expedition investigating that eerie Qintian Hospital is seeking death.

Pan Hao sighed, recalling his youth when he faced the unknown with a hint of greed rather than reverence, and ended up causing so many troubles.

He pointed behind him, "Get in the car, my house is nearby. This isn’t a place for conversation."

"Do you mind if I bring some guests?" the elderly man with gray hair pointed to several Black-clothed Guard Investigators behind him, carrying a lot of baggage.

Old Pan waved his hand and loaded four passengers into the car, "Not at all, not at all, feel free."

After all, he was a collaborator of the "Saint" 40 years ago, and Pan Hao had brought firsthand information about the "Hospital". Things would have been bad without his information.

Therefore, the members of the Black-clothed Guard showed no disrespect.

"Mr. Pan, why have you been avoiding us?"

The elderly man asked, "Although we haven’t put much effort into searching... we Black-clothed Guards have always respected unique and talented individuals, turning a blind eye as long as they do no harm. We try to recruit them if possible, and maintain good relations otherwise."

"I’m afraid, the more you know, the more fear in your heart."

Pan Hao, holding the steering wheel, spoke without turning his head back, "That secret had to be kept for forty years, how could I not be afraid? Now that it has been revealed, I finally fulfill a wish and feel much relieved."

The elderly man asked again, "Mr. Pan, don’t you want to know what exists behind the Saint?"

Pan Hao said, "Forget it, a Saint is a Saint, let it be... Whether he is a person or something else. What he did was a good thing after all."

"Wise thinking."

In no time, they arrived at Half Mountain Villa.

With Pan Hao’s consent, the other Investigators began to explore the room where "Feng Ling" had stayed.

Meanwhile, Pan Hao and the elderly man with white hair sat in the living room drinking coffee.

The elderly gentleman was dignified and composed; Pan Hao was initially a bit nervous, but gradually relaxed.

The Black-clothed Guards were quite reasonable? Not as imagined.

"This bag of coffee, I’m giving it to Mr. Pan, I hope you don’t mind that it’s instant coffee."

The coffee made from Immortal Beans and some special coffee beans, ground into fine powder, was a high-class gift from the Black-clothed Guards.

Pan Hao had heard of it and smiled, "Then I shall humbly accept it. If the elderly gentleman has any questions, ask away, I’ll be open."

He personally brewed two cups of coffee, the rich aroma filling the room like a heavenly realm.

Even though he hadn’t slept well last night, he suddenly felt revitalized.

"Although you wrote some about the Saint in your diary, I’d still like to hear the details firsthand. Do you think he will appear in this event?"

Pan Hao sipped his coffee lightly, "He will appear, just not sure in what form. He might not be human, maybe something else."

...

...

A beautiful day starts in the morning!

First, a few laps running around the neighborhood, greeting several familiar community aunties, habitually promoting his internet cafe and distributing a few free trial coupons.

If it’s not free, they won’t come, it’s infuriating!

He also played with a stray cat lying by the roadside.

Perhaps due to their diet, these cats’ fur was glossy and they were not afraid of people, although they smelled a bit due to the hot weather lately.

"Ah, they’ve all been neutered by some kind people," Han Xiaoyue, running behind, fiddled with the cats, "Poor cats to be neutered... but it’s also a good thing, must have cost quite a bit."

Wang Hao deeply dissatisfied, "Who told our community to have so many wealthy people? Neutering a male cat costs a hundred or two, and a female about five or six hundred."

"People pay for neutering stray cats, but no one comes to try my internet cafe. Business is really hard."

"Pity... I don’t have the skill, otherwise I’d also open a pet shop."

He suddenly had an idea, cheerfully said, "You’re going to study biology, why not learn how to neuter cats?"

"I don’t want that!" Han Xiaoyue jumped up.

Biology is not the same as medicine!

There’s a big difference!

Then he caught two stray cats and took them to the pond for a bath.

Then again, these cats were indeed docile; during the bath, they didn’t make a sound and willingly exposed their bellies, quite submissive.

...

After this morning exercise, Wang Hao finally arrived at his workplace.

"Every day is fresh!"

He habitually turned on the computer, eagerly glanced at his essay published yesterday on Bi Hu, "Nationalism and Social Trends."

He was somewhat annoyed; the political keyboard essay he spent all night writing received few likes and only got three more comments.

"The poster is right, just pity there are no pretty girls in the article."

"Poster, post a cute cousin’s photo."

"Yay! Found a treasure blogger, very rational analysis!"

Two comments were from real readers.

One must have been posted by Han Xiaoyue.

Well, well, it was acceptable.

As an online nobody, Wang Hao didn’t have high expectations; just not having trolls was a fortunate thing.

Two real comments were not bad at all.

"Welcome to the Cross-dimensional Game!"

"You have been offline for 12 hours, 22 minutes, and 23 seconds."

Wang Hao clicked on the mini-game "Reincarnation into the Weird."

"Do you want to start the game after having collected Weird illustrations 133/999999999?"

Wang Hao pondered for a long time but then backed out, feeling somewhat fed up after gaming intensely for so many days.

This game actually had potential but the difficulty was way too high. After days of intensive playing, he had yet to evolve any high-level Weird. The achievement system was also poorly designed; that number, 999999999, was obviously just a gimmick.

Moreover, some of the bloody and violent content was overly censored, the entire screen filled with mosaics.

Couldn’t the game developers change the red blood to green? How was anyone supposed to play with all these mosaics?

All this content needed adjustment.

Suddenly, he saw an envelope icon appear in the top right corner of the screen, and a smile appeared on Wang Hao’s face.

That icon looked familiar.

His inactive characters had actually found a game clue for him!

"Is it time for another fun and easy adventure?"

He clicked on the envelope to read it.

"Warning!"

"Warning!"

"Your characters ’Chen Xinyi’ and ’Xu Zhijun’ have been unwillingly swept into an unknown supernatural event. You may now explore this game scenario. The difficulty of this game scenario is high, and it is recommended you use a Character Avatar with a high training level to explore this clue."

"If you choose to ignore this situation, your characters might escape the disaster on their own, or they could die."

"The probability of escape depends on the personal quality of the character."

"Please be aware, this clue might be related to the main quest and may require a high training level ’Character’ to complete successfully."

Wang Hao was moved.

"The main storyline has updated!"

But I don’t have any high-level characters.

Li Qingshan, who has the fastest growth rate, has recently exceeded a Spiritual Strength of 600, which is quite rapid.

Idle for another year or two and perhaps it could rise to two or three thousand?

With a Grade B potential, that’s about as fast as it gets.

Chen Xinyi, with Grade C potential ... current Spiritual Strength 308?

Cough, it’s decent, can’t expect too much, this lady is a lucky charm, always there when you need her.

The highest-trained "Glutton" Xu Zhijun, thanks to his good initial stats, is quite tough but shows almost no growth.

"If only I could get a character with Grade S potential!"

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to turn a Guest into a game character...

Wang Hao stared at the 11,240 points in his wallet and thought for a while.

If he was willing to spend, getting a high-level character wouldn’t be difficult.

"Ah well, the money was going to be spent sooner or later."

There’s a real whopper in the legends of the game world, "Hoarding Hamsters." They spend the least but save the most resources to bring out astonishing resources when needed, using all their metals on the same blade—this is precisely the so-called "Epic Victory of the Hoarding Hamsters"!

Now, it’s time to spend cheerfully.

"Special Character Avatar, Potential Grade: X-level"

"Physique: 300"

"Spiritual Strength: 300"

"Superpowers: Beast Intuition, Bullet Time"

An X-level potential character with just these stats until now is kind of embarrassing.

Hard to even talk about!

With X-level potential, 1 point could increase Spiritual Strength by 2 points, which was not too expensive.

5,000 Spiritual Strength points could unlock a Legendary Ability.

Wang Hao was quite excited about this.

A Legendary Ability is not like some "Screaming Chicken Gift Pack"; it doesn’t count as "cheating."

However, besides game points that could enhance Spiritual Strength, there was another "thing" that could also boost a character’s Spiritual Strength for free, saving a lot of points.

That was—Spiritual Beans!

Plants irrigated with Spirit Realm Water, after many days of waiting, had finally matured!

Thinking of this, Wang Hao shifted his game view to the farmland next to the Weird Forest and clicked on it.

"Rustle, Rustle", a noise of leaves shaking.

A flash of light.

A harvest notification popped up.

"In the farmland, you have harvested Spiritual Beans *8, Odd Plants *11292 (Note: irrigated with water from the Spirit Realm Well, collectively referred to as Class D plants)."

"Congratulations! You have successfully cultivated a ’Spiritual Bean’ plant."

"Every natural month, this Spiritual Bean plant will provide you with 1 Spiritual Bean. You need to pay 50 sources per natural month."

"If you want to produce more Spiritual Beans, you will need additional Spirit Realm Water and more ’sources.’"
