My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 278

Chapter 278: 278

Butterfly couldn’t find a flaw on Han Fei’s defence so it shifted its attention to Huang Yin. If something happened to Huang Yin, then Butterfly could get to Han Fei through Huang Yin. But if Huang Yin managed to resist Butterfly’s influence, it might even help Han Fei at the Ziggurat. In conclusion, this was a very crucial moment. Han Fei wanted to enter the Ziggurat and kill the Butterfly; Butterfly though came after Huang Yin in real life, making him a target. Huang Yin and Han Fei had to deal with Butterfly in both real life and in game, losing for either one would cause irreparable results. But at the same time, it meant that Butterfly had to deal with 2 enemies at the same time and it had to split its focus into two.

Han Fei was hard to deal with for Butterfly, he was as annoying as Spider but Butterfly was afraid of Huang Yin even more. Any human who could enter the cryptic world wouldn’t be normal, that was Butterfly’s preconception. Huang Yin not only had arrived at the cryptic world, he always appeared at the most important time and location! His timing was so flawless that Butterfly had no choice but to believe that the man was toying with it!

At Yi Ming Private Academy, Butterfly controlled Ma Manjiang so well that Han Fei was cornered into a dead end. Han Fei was stuck in a situation where there was no escape, even Butterfly itself couldn’t find the solution but Huang Yin’s appearance had ruined everything. The man had waited a long time in the shadows, watching for the perfect moment to destroy Butterfly’s plans!

Since it was just a subconsciousness of Butterfly controlling Ma Manjiang, it had no idea how Huang Yin managed to do this. It only saw the result—it was defeated by Huang Yin. Therefore, how could it possibly be a normal human who had managed to defeat it? With that in mind, Butterfly approached Huang Yin carefully. It didn’t even dare to appear in its real form but instead tackled Huang Yin’s deep-buried memory. After the simple interaction, Butterfly discovered something incredible. Huang Yin’s mental constitution was so common that it was almost banal. He was far less impressive than any of the murderers it had controlled in the past. Butterfly would never admit that it was defeated by someone as common as this! There had to be a different explanation behind this!

A real commoner wouldn’t be able to sense the cryptic world, much less appear in it. Therefore, Butterfly confirmed that Huang Yin’s memory and consciousness had to be faked, and the disguise was so perfect that it couldn’t find any flaw. Compared to Han Fei which it couldn’t infiltrate deeply into, Huang Yin was clearly more dangerous. Huang Yin allowed the enemy to enter his mind easily, a bit too easily that Butterfly had to believe that it was a trap. What kind of conspiracy was this man planning?

Butterfly trembled just thinking about it. It saw Huang Yin as its most dangerous opponent, a man who was far more dangerous than Spider and Han Fei combined. Han Fei could guess Butterfly’s train of thought. He knew that Butterfly was only probing Huang Yin’s mind for now but as the probing went on, it was only a matter of time until the truth was exposed. It could take days, weeks, or hours.

The police’s action had placed a great pressure on Butterfly that it had started to act a bit recklessly but Han Fei knew he shouldn’t let his guard down. Always preparing for the worst was how Han Fei managed to survive in the cryptic world.

‘Looks like I’ll have to speed up my plan.’ Originally Han Fei planned to only challenge the Ziggurat when the curse was activated but from the looks of it, the Butterfly couldn’t wait until then anymore. Therefore, Han Fei had to take the initiative and ambush Ziggurat. Since he was going to face death eventually, why not have the prerogative when he was at it? With the decision made, Han Fei pulled Huang Yin to the side and told him everything that had happened to Spider. Han Fei did not ameliorate any details, he had to make sure Huang Yin understood how dangerous Butterfly was.

“Brother Huang, when facing Butterfly, the more afraid you are, the faster you’ll die. You’ll have to have unshakeable conviction.” Han Fei taught Huang Yin some tricks, hoping that they could help Huang Yin. “Okay, I understand.”

“It’s not enough that you understand, I will need to conduct some basic training on you so that you’ll get more used to fear.” Once Han Fei said that, Huang Yin’s face turned green.

“Is that really necessary? Now whenever I think about you, Butterfly becomes not that serious of a threat anymore. I might even deliver a few punches at it.”

“Really?” Han Fei’s eyes brightened.

“Of course!”

“Then it means that my training is effective, so we’ll have to kick it up a notch!” Han Fei patted Huang Yin on his shoulders. After deciding on a time for their training, Han Fei left. “Brother Huang is a good teammate, he has immense potential.” Han Fei took the train to head back to the old city. Before the people from Deep Space Tech arrived, Han Fei called Li Xue. He hoped that the police would send some people over to inspect his new gaming hub. When the sun almost set, the people from Deep Space Tech finally arrived. When they saw where Han Fei lived, they were quite shocked. A person who ordered a gaming hub worth several ten thousands RMB was staying at a dilapidated place like this? Just how passionate must their customer be about gaming that they had to have spent all their savings on the gaming hub?

The police didn’t quite get it either but they still followed Han Fei’s request and inspected the machines several times before they allowed it to be installed. Han Fei was still testing out the gaming hub when the paparazzi got the news. When the gaming hub was fully installed at 7 pm, some ‘dirt’ on Han Fei already appeared online. They claimed that Han Fei was taking illegal bribes, committing tax evasions, and that his salary was not transparent and so on. He would rather spend so much money on entertainment than to donate to charity. Han Fei didn’t care about these things but some people purposely came to his own social account to mock him about it. Based on Han Fei’s supposed salary for Thriller Novelist, he shouldn’t be able to afford such an expensive gaming hub so he must have gotten the money elsewhere. It was this elsewhere that these naysayers had issues with. Seeing these comments, Han Fei could only laugh.

He copied and pasted his own purchasing history and the source of his income on his social media. Most of the money he used to purchase the gaming hub came from his bounty money he got from helping the police. Then Han Fei attached a link to Xin Lu Law Enforcement’s official website and their fugitive lists. “This is how I got my money. The lowest reward for capturing one of these fugitives is 30000 RMB.” Han Fei was helping the police promote their website and he was doing his part for the protection of public safety.

Han Fei chuckled as he looked through the comments. He noticed that ever since he started Perfect Life, he cared far less about these criticisms. He wouldn’t get mad facing these mockery and sarcasm. However, due to his impressive memory, he would memorize these people’s ID. Who knows, one day they might meet Han Fei in the cryptic world.

After the people from Deep Space Tech and the police left, Han Fei walked circles around the gaming hub. The gaming hub dominated the already small living room. If he wanted to practice martial arts in the future, he would need to find another place.

“It makes the place look so much smaller than it is.” Shaking his head, Han Fei hugged the gaming helmet and crawled into the hub. “Human desire is endless. Now that I have the gaming hub, I want to move to a bigger house. Humans will never be satisfied. This is why humans are sometimes the closest organism to a greedy demon.” After connecting all the wires, Han Fei successfully activated the game. He was first greeted by an advertisement from Deep Space Tech, Han Fei finally got the chance to experience the game from the perspective of a normal gamer. However, when the game’s virtual guide appeared, an intense pain gripped Han Fei’s mind. When he recovered, the virtual persona of the 7th generation photon computer, the persona, who was modelled after numerous beautiful women throughout human history, was covered in blood. Her body and face were deeply scarred and she looked at Han Fei with cruelty and condescension. Then she was dismembered right before Han Fei and melted into a pool of blood. His mind detached and blood covered everything.

“Welcome to Perfect Life where you are free to choose your own perfect life!” The robotic voice said. Han Fei was still reeling from the shock. The guide’s venomous gaze stuck in his mind, like it was his fault that such fate befell her.

‘The black box in my brain appears to have very high operative rights when it comes to technology, nothing can change it but everything will be changed by it.’
