Alternate Dimension Game: Happiness is all that matters!
Chapter 56 - 54 Sanity Value System

Chapter 56: Chapter 54 Sanity Value System

Wang Hao dragged his head in thought, "So, Grandmother went out for a certain purpose. Seven days later, when Grandmother comes back, the game will have been cleared, and the subsequent plot won’t have anything to do with me."

Actually, it still does...

As a Player, muddling through the game is not the ultimate goal.

The damn game kept scaring him, challenging his tolerance, and he had to achieve a higher degree of completion, to discern its hidden truths!

The second problem was the neighbor: Was the neighbor righteous?

Highly unlikely!

"The neighbor might be the ’Elder’ who caused the ’destruction of Li Family Village’, and for some unknown reason, has appeared in this ’Paradise’ scene... Could there be a connection between the two?"

"What would that connection be?"

Wang Hao hung his head and thought for a long time, coming up with some suspect possibilities. Suddenly, he shivered.

"However, it’s also possible that the game company used the same model to save on expenses. So, without clear evidence, I won’t bother too much with it for now."

Mix-ups due to game companies trying to save on costs are actually quite common.

If a monster model is used only once, wouldn’t that seem a bit extravagant?

Regardless of how it is, the neighbor old man should be unrighteous.

Because the neighbor old man kidnapped the stupid younger brother.

Could he have... eaten him?

However, the neighbor’s claims might not be entirely false, meaning "Grandmother" could be hiding some special purpose.

This might be related to a higher game completion rate. Wang Hao was almost certain that delving into the world view, understanding "Grandmother’s" purpose, would allow surpassing 100% completion rate, earning higher rewards!

"In any case, this damn neighbor is the biggest trouble at the moment, he seems to possess a certain wisdom, knows some things."

"He will find ways to break into the house, causing me trouble."

"He is very afraid of mirrors; if I move a mirror to the door and then suddenly open it, could I kill him?"

Wang Hao racked his brains in meditation, the mirrors in the game were large and heavy, a 10-year-old child certainly couldn’t move them.

Even with two children together, it would just barely be enough.

He dismissed this idea on his own: "No, the old man is only afraid of mirrors, he doesn’t drop dead upon seeing his reflection. Therefore, even if the mirror is moved to the door, it wouldn’t matter much."

The third problem was Biaozi, the creature similar to a tiger.

There were very few clues about Biaozi; it appeared on the doorstep on the second day. It seemed unable to communicate, just an ordinary animal, or perhaps it had some special function.

In short, Biaozi can’t communicate with humans?

On the fourth day, Biaozi would fight with the neighbor old man.

Eventually, the old man kills and skins it.

Biaozi’s skin helped the old man climb over the ivy-covered wall.

"Is Biaozi just a pure tool character? Was its appearance just to provide the old man with skin?"

Wang Hao patted his head, feeling somewhat perplexed.

He couldn’t think of any greater use for Biaozi.

The fourth problem was the "Missing Child," who should be considered absolutely righteous, a character that could be completely trusted.

The notes provided by the "Missing Child" were highly likely to be trustworthy.

But the notes left behind by the "Missing Child" were somewhat baffling, simply recording "I overate cookies because of gluttony, and because of overflowing compassion, I fed the cookies to the bear."

The child had finished his cake too early and was forced to go hungry.

At last, the world was covered in red fog, and the strange story of the child’s disappearance within it.

"The Missing Child’s Diary must refer to some important clue!"

"I disappeared in the red fog too, during the first Reincarnation..."

He had come this far in piecing together the clues, and it was as if the answer was on the tip of his tongue!

He jumped up from his chair suddenly!

But it seemed he was missing something that left him unable to grasp the fleeting inspiration.

This feeling was incredibly frustrating; he clearly thought of something but then suddenly forgot. In medical terms, this was known simply as the "TOT phenomenon."

"It feels like I’m just missing something, all of this is pointing to something..." Wang Hao felt he was on the verge of madness, his pen scratching back and forth across the paper, but no matter what, he could not retrieve that quietly slipping away inspiration.

What is it?

What is it?

He had never been this distressed, not even when preparing for the college entrance exams!

Not even when he couldn’t solve the last math problem had he felt so bothered!

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from beside him, "Hey, when are you going out? I need to sleep, it’s already past eleven."

Wang Hao turned around and saw Han Xiaoyue, a bit too snug in her covers, with a serious expression. "Don’t disturb me, this is a critical sprint moment! I’m on the last bit, it’s about to come out..."

"Just a little bit more and it’ll come out."

"Alright, alright, then hurry up."

After a while, Wang Hao spoke again, "I’m trying to think of a term, what are those terms in the Cthulhu mythos again, help me remember. I forgot some things."

"Ah? Cthulhu?" Han Xiaoyue quickly listed some terms, "Pacts, mines, pits, deep sea, larvae, rites, heretics, dreams, sanity points, summoning... are these enough?"

"Yes! That’s it!"

"Haha, sanity points! sanity points! Sanity points!"

In that instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating many unsolved mysteries.

Wang Hao excitedly turned red in the face and shouted, "Xiaoyue, you really are my treasure!"

"Psh, all worked up... It’s just a puzzle-solving game, are you that excited? I suggest you read more comics like ’Detective Conan’ to make your head a bit smarter."

"The joy of solving puzzles in games is something love-struck fools can’t understand." Wang Hao sighed, then carried another blanket from his room, prepared to make a bed on the floor.

Han Xiaoyue’s eyes widened, "What are you doing?"

"I’m making a bed on the floor, is that not okay?" Wang Hao bluntly said, then laid down directly on the makeshift bed.

The last time they had slept together was... last time...

"Whatever you want, but I just turned 18," Han Xiaoyue said with annoyance.

"Don’t worry, the almighty 404 God is watching over me. If I tried anything, it would dare to eat me."

"True."

It wasn’t that Wang Hao wanted to chase girls, but... he truly didn’t dare to sleep alone.

Nor did he dare to attempt a second Reincarnation in the middle of the night.

Because the damned "Paradise" storyline was actually kind of horrifying. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed terrifying upon reflection, leaving a chilling taste in one’s mouth.

He lay on the floor and wrote many words with a ballpoint pen: "If there’s a hidden sanity points mechanic in the game, a lot of things would make sense!"
