At eight in the morning, Lin Yu was awakened by the system voice in his mind and couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.
Ever since he crossed into this parallel world, this system has always existed.
At first, when he saw he had activated the Divine System, Lin Yu was somewhat excited about reliving his life, thinking he would live extravagantly in this parallel world!
However… this infuriating system only issued him netherworld currency!
When he tried to cash out, he only got eerie copper coins and paper money issued by the Heavenly Bank!
It couldn’t circulate in the human world at all!
In desperation, Lin Yu had to treat this system as if it didn’t exist, originally planning to become successful through investing in virtual currency, but instead…
This infuriating parallel world didn’t have any virtual currency at all!
Lin Yu had to change his approach and tried to enter the artistic world by recreating classic novels and music from his past life, but upon researching, he found that the celebrities and writers he remembered still existed in this world!
The shortcuts for reborn individuals to become wealthy were basically blocked off!
Lin Yu had to diligently study and got into a decent university, and by working part-time, he saved up some money.
Today was the first day of winter vacation.
Originally, Lin Yu planned to find a temporary job to earn some extra cash, but after being woken up on time by the system in the morning, after turning off the system panel, a new “prompt” appeared in his view,
【Congratulations! You have obtained the fifth batch of beta testing qualifications for the horror game!】
【Dungeon countdown: 15:59:59】
Two lines of blood-red text appeared before Lin Yu!
Unlike the natural feeling that seemed to originate from his soul with the system, Lin Yu instinctively felt that these two lines of blood-red text did not belong to the system, because compared to the system, these lines were full of a rough or low-quality feeling,
“What is this?” Lin Yu was taken aback, thinking it was just an illusion, then he recalled some rumors he had seen on the internet…
In the past two years, mysterious legends from various places had been increasing in frequency!
Mysterious deaths of wealthy individuals, entire neighborhoods suddenly disappearing, a murderer who liked to skin people…
The official stance has always been somewhat ambiguous,
Lin Yu had also read several posts about the “Horror Game”!
Chosen individuals would enter a world filled with vengeful spirits to survive, and they could gain the opportunity to control ghosts and spirits. The mysterious events around the world were caused by the “players” returning from the horror game, some even said that the newly established “No. 9 Investigation Center” was also created to deal with the existence of the horror game!
And these posts, without exception, disappeared very quickly!
Lin Yu, familiar with the pattern, knew that the faster the posts disappeared, the more likely they were to contain the truth!
Combining this with the two lines of blood-red text before him, Lin Yu confirmed this point, the biggest difference between this parallel world’s Blue Star and his previous world was not the absence of virtual currency, but rather the “Horror Game”!
The term “fifth batch” also strongly confirmed this point — this horror game had already existed for a while!
In sixteen hours, at midnight, he would enter the horror game!
“This is really infuriating!” Lin Yu felt somewhat helpless for a moment, because this horror game, whether by rumor or by name alone, was definitely a place where survival was extremely difficult, or one could say it was almost a death sentence!
Even though Lin Yu vaguely realized that the netherworld currency issued by his “Divine System” might be prepared for this game, he wasn’t sure if it would guarantee his safety in the game. After all, while “money can make ghosts do the work,” that’s just a saying, what if the ghosts inside didn’t recognize money and only preyed on humans?
Moreover, a common person might be punished for having wealth, bribing vengeful spirits with netherworld currency could make them covet his wealth and kill him for it, what then?
These were all uncertainties,
“Although the ‘netherworld currency’ issued by the system is likely useful and a good thing…
“I can’t rely too much on the system!”
He still needed to investigate the related matters of the “Horror Game”, Lin Yu thought this way and quickly began researching information on the internet, and just as Lin Yu expected, although the officials had been blocking information, they couldn’t delete everything completely!
This might also be to give a glimmer of hope to those truly chosen by the “Horror Game”!
Soon, Lin Yu gathered several key pieces of information from the various posts he had seen!
First, in the horror game dungeon, ghosts cannot kill at will!
The actions of ghosts and humans must follow the rules!
Only by violating the rules or meeting the conditions of the ghost’s killing rules can one be killed by the ghost!
Second, the basic rules of the dungeon will generally be indicated in a direct and obvious way at the beginning!
However, there will also be certain hidden rules!
Third, the difficulty of the dungeon and the strength of the ghosts are related to the number of basic rules. The more rules there are, the harder it is to survive!
Because gathering this information was quite difficult, it took Lin Yu almost a whole day!
After a simple rest, the horror dungeon opened!
