Chapter 559: Flyer

559 Flyer

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve reached level 20 and gained one free attribute point!

“Warning! The player can have a second main profession at level 20. Will you upgrade your current part-time profession, Ziggurat Patrol, to your main profession?

“Warning! The player has completed the prerequisite for the profession, Lapidarist, and is 98 percent compatible with the profession! Will you make Lapidarist your second profession?

“Warning! When the player gains a highly compatible profession, they will gain extremely rare profession talents! There is a chance to enjoy the extremely powerful effect of the profession!

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve unlocked the function of the personality fragment at level 20. Currently, you possess 10 percent of the greed personality fragment! After successfully unlocking a personality, you’ll gain extra reward!

“Notification for Player 0000! As your level increases so will your connection with the altars!”

Han Fei scanned through the notifications, and he caught something important. According to the main website of Perfect Life, a player could only have one main profession. The other professions would be part-time professions. The talents of the part-time professions would be unlocked based on profession compatibility, and there was no way the player could unlock all of the talents of the part-time profession.

At every ten levels, the player could upgrade their main profession to gain new profession talent. This meant that if the player didn’t pick a good main profession, they either had to restart their profile or accept their wrong decision. Han Fei assumed he could only choose one main profession. However, he realized that was not the case. Perhaps because he was in the cryptic world, he didn’t have to follow this rule. He could gain a new main profession at every ten levels!

‘Assuming max level is 100, then does that mean I can have ten main professions?’ Han Fei found the benefits of being a cryptic world player. He had a harder time leveling up, but in compensation, he gained extra benefits when he did. ‘The cryptic world provides me with plenty of skill points. I can raise all of my main professions to their maximum.’

Han Fei added the attribute point to stamina. At level 20, his stamina was 32.

‘Midnight Butcher is already a strong hidden profession. When I accepted this profession, I destroyed Cattle Alley and killed all my colleagues. It allowed me to become the hidden profession among the hidden profession—Dawn Butcher. I need to keep this profession.

‘Compared to Midnight Butcher, Ziggurat Patrol is more normal. Even though it is also a hidden profession, I’m only doing it part-time, so I only gained the talent where my movement speed will be faster at night. I doubt I’ll gain anything more even if I made it my second main profession.’ Han Fei’s eyes slowly moved like they were attracted by something. ‘Accepting the new profession with high compatibility will earn me the chance to gain special talents…’ Han Fei mulled over the system’s words. In the end, he chose not to do it. ‘Such a cunning system. It feels like it is purposely luring me. I haven’t had any experience in relationship manipulation. How am I suitable to be a Lapidarist?’ Han Fei inherited the black box from Fu Sheng. This memory world was Fu Sheng’s. Han Fei thought about it. ‘Could this special hidden profession be something Fu Sheng left for me? But who would do something like that?!’

Han Fei’s emotions changed so much in a few seconds that he frightened the blond kid beside him.

“We’ll stop here today.” Han Fei removed his watch from the kid. After two days of hard work, the downtown had better security. “In the future, you better focus on your study. It’s not cool to be a gangster, do you understand?” Han Fei shoved the watch and money back into his pocket. “Even though I said I’d give you money for working for me, you’ve seen how dangerous the world is for yourself when you’re walking around with money. Right?”

The kid nodded vehemently. He just wanted to go home and seal up all the windows.

“I’ll keep them for you temporarily. If you fail to get into university, I’ll come to find you, and we can start a business together.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll get into university even if I die! No, I mean, thank you!” The kid was already rambling.

“Go home then.” Han Fei patted the dust on his body. His stamina increased again, but he was not in a good mood. When he was helping the kid, he could feel his movement was not as smooth as before.

‘If I joined those players, they’d abandon me once they discover I’m sick. Thankfully, I’ve buried seed of suspicion in Qiang Wei’s heart, and they don’t know my real situation.’ Han Fei was clear about one thing. The key to clearing this memory world was on Fu Sheng. When Han Fei collapsed, all the trouble would go to Fu Sheng. What Han Fei needed to do now was to resolve as much trouble as he could. He needed to help Fu Sheng walk out of the shadow and gain the willingness to support his family. And that included Han Fei too.

“Should I teach Fu Sheng some fighting techniques tomorrow?” Han Fei pondered. He planned to go to Fu Sheng’s school when his phone vibrated. It was a call from Zhao Qian. “CEO Zhao, how can I help you?”

“Come to the company now. A woman is looking for you.”

Han Fei sucked in a cold breath when he heard the term woman. When he wanted to ask more, Zhao Qian hung up.

‘Zhao Qian knows Du Zhu and Love. Zhao Qian wouldn’t refer to them as a woman if they came looking for me. Could it be Fu Yi’s wife then?’ Han Fei hurried to the company. His heart was pounding. Han Fei reached the company around dusk. As he walked out of the elevator, the employees pointed at him like he had done something horrible.

‘Who is looking for me?’ Han Fei returned to his office. His members stopped working, and they didn’t look too good. “Leader, you better go to CEO Zhao’s office. It’s not good.” Brother Fake Plant stood up to tell Han Fei.

“I know things aren’t good, but I need you to remember one thing.” Han Fei patted the man’s shoulders and looked at the rest, “No matter what happened, even if I’m no longer here, you have to complete the game. The game will gain other people’s approval, and it will bring you great rewards.” His members were surprised that Han Fei still cared that much about the game. They nodded silently. Han Fei glanced at Lee Guo Er. She was the only member still working frantically to finish the game. Han Fei didn’t say anything to her. He turned to Zhao Qian’s office.

“CEO Zhao?” Han Fei pushed open the door and looked in. Zhao Qian was the only one there. “Who is looking for me?”

“Here she is!” Zhao Qian dropped the flyer before Han Fei. “You have an illegitimate child. What kind of bastard are you?” Han Fei picked up the flyer to take a look. His expression didn’t change that much. He already predicted this. The flyer wrote what Fu Yi had done. The first woman he had an affair with was pregnant. Fu Yi broke up with the woman and cut off all contact, so he didn’t know the woman had given birth to a child. The saddest thing was the child had congenital muscular atrophy. Her conditions would worsen as she grew older. The woman could not support the medical bills anymore, so she had no choice but to use this method to find Fu Yi.

Han Fei knew everything on the flyer was the truth. However, strangely enough, the flyer didn’t provide any proof. It also didn’t expose any info about the woman and the child. This flyer was just the first step of someone’s plan to torture Fu Yi. She wanted Fu Yi to lose everything in the end. ‘This doesn’t look like the work of Fu Yee’s mother. It feels more like Du Zhu.’

Han Fei didn’t say anything. He knew the things on the flyer were true, so what was the point of arguing? Fu Yi might have denied everything and used a lie to cover up this lie, but that would only push him to a dead end.

“You were the main designer for Immortal, and now you’re the designer for a new game. The company values both of these games.” Zhao Qian placed a document on the table. “If you can’t clarify this or if this is real, to ensure Immortal is not affected, the admin will most likely demand you to resign.”

Designing a game required a lot of resources and time. Naturally, the company wouldn’t allow the game to be affected due to a single person’s negative press. Han Fei was given two choices, find an excuse and resolve this issue in private with Fu Yee’s mother; or accept the blame, lose his job, and then pay high medical bills and child support to Fu Yee’s mother. Most people would choose the first choice, and Fu Yi definitely did.

“I’ve already asked people to collect all the flyers. Temporarily, the effect won’t be huge. However, things can’t be kept under wraps forever. You better think about what to do next.” Zhao Qian was tired. She picked up the flyers and dumped them into the trash can. “Go and find that woman. Give me an answer tomorrow.”

Han Fei exited Zhao Qian’s room and returned to his office. None of his members dared to say anything. He sat in his chair and then stood up to address his team members. “I personally interviewed all of you. This field has a high turnover rate, but none of you have left. I am appreciative of your trust.” Han Fei paused. “I need to inform you a few things for the last time as your team leader.” The office was quiet as everyone turned to Han Fei.

“One, you have to finish the horror dating sim. Your bonus relies on this.

“Two, do not be afraid no matter what happens. Learn to be independent, calm, and protect yourself.

“Three, you might be ostracized after I leave. I apologize in advance. I hope you can survive under pressure. Then you can fight for your benefit.

“Four, and the most important point, do not work overtime at the company in the next three days. Go back home before sunset.”

Han Fei knew about the Pure Hatred’s movement from the other players. He didn’t want his people to get hurt.

“That’s all. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Han Fei left the company. He decided to visit Fu Yee’s hostel to meet her mother.

‘In the Manager Mission, Fu Yee and her mother were dead. Their deaths caused Fu Sheng to have a mental breakdown.’ Han Fei called his wife and tried to ask about how much money they had left. His wife’s answer added pressure to Han Fei. They had purchased a house in the middle of the city. They didn’t have much savings and needed to pay the housing loan every month. When Fu Yi was the main designer for Immortal, he was given a great salary. He was the company’s most valued designer, but after he was demoted, his salary decreased, and they had been surviving on savings.

Honestly, Fu Yi had earned a lot in the past few years. However, he had spent most of them on women. ‘The man lost all of his income and had to pay for Fu Yee’s treatment as well as raise Fu Sheng and Fu Tian…’ Han Fei was walking Fu Yi’s path. Fu Yi didn’t run into any ghosts in this world, but he slowly turned into a murderer. That was even more harrowing.

‘When I attempted the Manager Mission, the room was old and dirty. It’s completely different from my current place. It looks like Fu Yi’s wife moved after Fu Yi died.’ Only the most despairing person would be selected by the black box. Han Fei was about to face the beginning of Fu Sheng’s despair.

The cab raced down the road. Twenty minutes later, it stopped beside a bookstore. Han Fei paid the cab fare and entered the alley behind the bookstore. He looked at the window of the hostel and sunk into deep thought.

In reality, Han Fei had the confidence to make a person fully disappear. Be it stamina, intelligence, capability, or experience, Han Fei was much better than Fu Yi. However, the biggest difference between Han Fei and Fu Yi was, Han Fei would never resort to these things.
