Chapter 48: Back to Reality
[Double Card]
Bai Cha silently looked at the card in her hand, then looked at the pixelated ghost face jumping up and down.
“Can you explain to me what this is?”
This was the so-called grand gift pack compensation?
[As the name suggests, this is a Double Card. After using it, everything you obtained in the dungeon will be doubled! For example, if you use it now, your 400 points will become 800 points. Would you like to use it, dear?]
“No, I’ll keep it for now.”
Bai Cha put away the card. Although she felt like she had been tricked, if she could really get a rich harvest in a dungeon, it might be a profit.
[Alright, dear. Do you have any other questions?]
The other party’s urging was very obvious.
Bai Cha ignored it and opened her panel again, observing it carefully.
This panel was much clearer than when she first entered the game.
[Name: Bai Cha. Age: 20. Skills: Dodder Vine, Flower of Lies lv.1.]
Clicking on the level after the skill, the upgrade requirements popped up.
[Dooder Vine lv.0-lv.1: Use this skill once.]
[Dodder Vine lv.1-lv.2: Use this skill three times.]
The subsequent levels were temporarily not displayed.
[Flower of Lies lv.0-lv.1: Use this skill three times.]
[Flower of Lies lv.1-lv.2: Use this skill nine times.]
The subsequent levels were also temporarily not displayed, but she could probably guess them.
They should be similar to the doubling in the game.
[Dear, have you looked carefully?]
The pixelated ghost face suddenly flashed past Bai Cha, turning into countless fragments that surrounded her, then recombined into an angry ghost face.
“Almost, let me take another look at the shop.”
A new function, the shop, appeared on her interface. After clicking it, it was similar to the shop interfaces in many games.
It couldn’t be ruled out that the game might have copied others.
There were many items inside, all sorts of strange things, but they all required points for exchange.
In the lower right corner was her current balance of 400 points.
“Using points won’t affect the evaluation of my level, right?”
[No, no, it won’t affect it. You can ask other players if you have any questions. You can leave now, dear!]
Bai Cha turned a deaf ear.
“Can players trade points with each other? Are points only obtained through each dungeon run?”
[…]
[Players can trade with each other. The game neither encourages nor prohibits it. Points can only be obtained through the game. If you want a large number of points, we suggest you grind dungeons.]
“Okay, I have no other questions. Can you teleport me to the game lobby?”
Bai Cha finally stood up.
[Yes, yes, don’t worry. Every player who leaves after the settlement screen must first go to the game lobby before returning to reality. We wish you a happy life, dear!]
The pixelated ghost face couldn’t wait to send her away.
Bai Cha felt a slight dizziness, and the surrounding environment turned into a magnificent hall.
There were quite a lot of people coming and going. The hall door was wide open, and she could see rows of buildings outside.
That was the game town, where players could live.
This was written in the newbie guide. When players entered a dungeon, the game would actively help players cover up their disappearance in reality. But if players stayed in the game town to live, the game wouldn’t help explain their disappearance in reality.
Live streams could be directly accessed through the game lobby, randomly or actively connecting to the live broadcast room of a player currently participating in a game.
However, although you could watch dungeons, if viewers entered the same dungeon, some memories of having watched that dungeon would be erased.
In other words, trying to obtain dungeon clearing methods by watching live streams was not feasible.
There were also some things like guild recruitment in the game lobby, but Bai Cha wasn’t very interested.
“Bai Cha!”
Xiao Xiao walked over.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Bai Cha.
“Thank you so much before leaving the dungeon.”
The last 30 seconds were often when players had the highest probability of dying.
Because the ghosts in the game would counterattack.
She had lost consciousness at the time, but that didn’t mean she had no memory after recovering.
“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do. After all, you also gave me an item card.”
She saw that Thunderbolt Spell in the shop; it cost 200 points to exchange.
That shouldn’t be a small amount.
Xiao Xiao shook her head and said, “Anyway, in the game… giving help in times of need is always rare. Let’s not talk about that. Let’s exchange contact information, both in the game and in reality.”
Bai Cha hesitated inwardly.
Contact information within the game was of course no problem, but reality…
“If you’re scared, I can give you my contact information.”
Xiao Xiao realized what she might be worried about and wasn’t angry. Instead, she felt a little relieved.
“It was presumptuous of me. You’re right to be cautious. You can’t easily tell others about your real-life matters. Some players have gone crazy.”
Bai Cha smiled apologetically.
The two added each other as friends in the game. Xiao Xiao gave her a piece of paper with her phone number on it.
After Bai Cha memorized it, the paper turned to ashes.
“Then I’ll leave first. You can look for me if you need anything.”
Xiao Xiao left.
Bai Cha thought for a while and decided to leave as well.
No matter what, she had fainted in reality and didn’t know what the situation was now.
And she also wanted to know what had happened to Yu Zhenzhen.
[Transmitting you to reality…]
Bai Cha only felt another slight shake around her.
A familiar smell of disinfectant wafted over.
Bai Cha opened her eyes. It was a hospital room.
“You’re awake?” Li Mengyao said in surprise from the side.
Bai Cha felt a moment of vigilance. This scene was too similar to the illusion.
Even Li Mengyao’s actions and expressions when she stood up and spoke were exactly the same.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Bai Cha didn’t speak, Li Mengyao reached out and felt her forehead.
“It still feels a bit hot. Wait a moment, I’ll go call the doctor.”
Bai Cha sat on the hospital bed and felt around beside her. The sword wasn’t there.
She found her phone.
Then she noticed that there was an extra app on her phone called Ghost Domain APP.
That familiar pixelated ghost face actually made her feel relieved.
It shouldn’t be an illusion.
The previous illusion was probably created using some kind of reflection of reality.
But wouldn’t that count as precognition?
She looked at the package on the table again.
Bai Cha reached out and picked it up, opened it, and found it completely empty. There was nothing inside.
She looked at the recipient again, her hand pausing slightly.
Originally, the recipient should have been Yu Zhenzhen’s name and her contact information, but now it had become Bai Cha.
Bai Cha had already realized something in her heart. She picked up her phone and flipped through her contacts and groups.
Nothing. Yu Zhenzhen wasn’t there.
The original four-person dormitory had become three people.
Bai Cha, Li A Zhao, Li Mengyao.
The class group had also gone from 52 to 51 people.
Yu Zhenzhen was no longer there.
