The game becomes reality: Black Myth invades the real world.

Chapter 14 A Bountiful Harvest

"Congratulations on successfully completing Black Myth: Journey to the West (based on the truth of Chapter 14 of Journey to the West), ID: CN-1-14."

Rating: Top Grade

"You've gained 70% of the experience."

Instantly, Chen Fu felt a warm sensation throughout his body, and all the injuries he had sustained from the dungeon were completely healed.

He clenched his fist, and the overwhelming sense of power made him feel like he could kill two bulls this time.

I only need 5% more experience to level up. It's just a matter of killing a bandit... Chen Fu touched his face, then lifted his foot to look over. The blister from before was gone.

"You dissected the body of the old man who delivered peaches."

"You have obtained the Burial Foundation (basic material)."

"A burial site for the living is a way for humankind to borrow blessings and longevity from heaven and earth. It uses hair, skin, essence, and blood as its substance and places it in a living tomb. It can forge the source of life and temporarily replenish vital energy, hence the name 'burial site for the living'."

"In layman's terms, it can be understood as a living tomb that people build for themselves while they are alive. By burying personal belongings in it, they pray for good luck, health or wealth for themselves and their descendants. It is an important material for people destined to obtain the 'energy bottle'."

"You can seek out the descendants of the Master of Craftsmanship who are scattered throughout the earth and are well-versed in the art of manufacturing. They possess superb skills in forging tools and can help you make the Burial Foundation into a 'Stamina Bottle'."

Judging from the description, this is an item related to the stamina system, but it needs to be made by a descendant of the Master of Skill.

Chen Fu wondered if this was similar to the blessing from the Earth God, and was also one of the basic functions of the game.

If that's the case, as long as you can make it, you can recover your stamina after dying, without having to wait for the stamina penalty.

However, he only obtained the materials. To obtain the stamina bottle, he still needed to find the successor of the Master of Skill.

Putting that aside for now, Chen Fu continued looking at the rewards.

"You dissected the monk's corpse."

"You have acquired the 'Hypocritical Buddhist Voice' (Special Skill)."

"Even though he was originally a countryman from the mountains, over the long years, by constantly imitating the precepts and habits of monks, he gradually mastered some skills."

"You can purify some wronged souls by reciting Buddhist scriptures. Whether you succeed or not depends on the difference in strength between yourself and the other party."

Chen Fu thought to himself, "This is good."

If I encounter paranormal events in real life in the future, I won't need to lift a finger; I can talk you to death.

However, there are two points to note.

He needs to memorize a Buddhist scripture, and whether he can succeed depends on the difference in strength between the two sides.

Chen Fu felt that it was a vengeful spirit, like a ghost bride, and that this method alone might not be effective.

That person is someone who can blast someone to smithereens with just a glare.

Reciting Buddhist scriptures in front of her is likely to result in being slapped to death, like a buzzing mosquito.

Is this skill useful?

there must be.

As your level increases, you'll definitely have a surprising effect when facing weaker opponents, such as water ghosts.

Chen Fu happily accepted it, and his mind immediately gained many key tips on releasing Buddhist sounds. He only needed to memorize a Buddhist scripture to be able to perform it.

"You dissected the Five Elements Mountain (Demon Refining Altar)."

"You have acquired the 'Silent Mountains' (passive skill)."

"You can passively block one fatal attack, with a cooldown of 24 hours."

Oh dear, I don't actually need such advanced skills. If I don't die, what will other players think?

Chen Fu said it, but his hands obediently accepted it.

It's like saying you don't want red envelopes during Chinese New Year, but then opening your pocket and putting it in front of someone else.

With this skill, combined with stamina potions, you'll have plenty of time in the game.

So you call yourself a bandit? You think you can kill me?

I'll engage you in a prolonged fight first, and when I'm about to die, I'll use the Mountain Range to silently block your attacks. You think you can kill me? No way. I can wear you down to death.

Even if I get instantly killed, it's okay, I still have stamina potions, and I'll be a lively and energetic hero again in a few minutes.

The mountain range remained silent and showed no reaction. Chen Fu assumed it was due to the 'passive skill' and continued reading the game text.

"You have uncovered the truth behind the fourteen chapters of 'Journey to the West'."

"You have obtained the Stone Monkey's Gaze (Special Status)."

"The naturally born and nurtured spiritual species are using their own methods to resist the suppression and transformation by those in power."

"His gaze will wipe away all the negative aspects of you, but it will also eliminate any positive ones."

"You can change the current situation by continuing to enter other instances of Journey to the West, or you can use items related to the Stone Monkey to eliminate the influence."

Chen Fu's gaze sharpened.

This state of being is an invaluable treasure for him right now.

He hadn't forgotten that the ghost bride's tether was still attached to him. With the stone monkey's gaze upon him, he didn't have to worry about the ghost bride coming to his door for the time being.

In fact, Chen Fu hadn't really figured out how to deal with the ghost bride.

Agree? I'm a promising young man, the kind who gets a scholarship every semester.

Suddenly I have a wife, and she's a ghost at that. Isn't this a joke?

Refuse? Check out the ghost bride's blood-red eyes—they'll absolutely explode on the spot, and you won't be able to piece them back together afterward.

However, this state is also very domineering, as no other positive status can be added.

Fortunately, the Silent Mountain skill is a passive skill; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to achieve its intended effect.

Chen Fu currently has no other status effects and decides to wait until his strength improves further before figuring out how to deal with them.

He has a clue.

The Great Sage's hair might be able to do it, but there's no hint in the game text yet, so I don't know how to use it.

"Let's talk about it later. It's not bad to not have to think about the ghost bride for now..." Chen Fu thought to himself.

This dungeon run not only gave him three completely different skills, but also gave him a significant amount of experience, making the overall gains very high.

If it were any other player, even if they could dissect three corpses, the results would definitely be different depending on the subjects.

Chen Fu felt that no one else would do what he did: knowing that making the wrong choice would mean death, he would still face the highest level of difficulty head-on.

It can only be said that risks and rewards go hand in hand.

He was satisfied with the reward, checked the time and saw it was already noon, so he logged out of the game.

The game cannot be discovered by ordinary people yet. As for the progress, we can continue this afternoon. Eating is more important than anything else.

Chen Fu, a 216-month-old baby, was crying for food and waiting for a nurse to come to his home to feed him.

A moment later, the ward door was pushed open.

To Chen Fu's surprise, it turned out that the people who came this time were from the Spirit Investigation Bureau.

Du Fanyu, carrying a lunchbox, walked towards the boy whom Captain Zhou had his eye on.

He came here this time to try and build a good relationship with Chen Fu.

Before he could even speak, he suddenly realized that the boy had changed a lot in just one morning.

Her skin had become much fairer, her features more delicate, and a subtle glint occasionally flashed in her eyes.

According to the Bureau of Investigation, this is a sign of gaining experience in the game!

How did he do that? How could he gain experience points so quickly?

Suppressing his curiosity and doubts, Du Fanyu placed the lunchbox aside and asked casually, "How was your rest?"

"It's alright, but I'm a little unsure what to do."

Chen Fu replied that he had already discerned something from the man's expression just now.

"Go play on your phone. You'll be discharged tomorrow, so take this time to relax."

Du Fanyu intentionally or unintentionally steered the conversation toward mobile phones and games.

"Playing too much is bad for your eyes."

Chen Fu picked up his lunchbox and began to eat, not feeling embarrassed at all because a man was sitting in front of him.

"You seem to care about your health quite a bit." Du Fanyu gave what he thought was a friendly smile and asked, "What games do boys your age like to play?"

"Three Continents, Dodge, O God, Conquer the Canyon, Play whatever you want."

Chen Fu laughed along, but didn't mention anything about "Black Myth: The Book of Past Events".

The two of them smiled at each other like good friends, but their inner thoughts were completely different.

What a little fox!

Don't try to trick me into telling you anything!

After finishing his meal, Chen Fu did not enter the game or search for Buddhist scriptures because there were outsiders present. Instead, he prepared to take a nap.

He hasn't made up his mind yet to reveal his player identity to the Department of Paranormal Investigation.

Seeing that he hadn't gotten any information, Du Fanyu could only leave with his lunchbox.

1:30 PM.

Chen Fu opened his eyes and stretched comfortably.

After taking a nap, he felt much better and turned on the game.

"The future Lord of the Mortal Realm has already proven himself in the instance. So, where are you headed now?"

"Should we take a different path and choose to forge our own way? Or should we head to a town and experience the local customs and culture?"

Chen Fu had not forgotten the fact that he was still at the starting point.

Originally, I planned to take a different approach and look for the powder I had discovered before.

This stuff can be applied to silver needles, which, from another perspective, can further enhance one's strength.

But then I thought, I might not be able to find it now or in the future.

Besides, he's almost leveled up, so getting experience points is definitely more important right now.

We're bound to encounter bandits on the way to town, so let's go check out town first.

Perhaps we'll even meet a descendant of the Master of Skillful Arts and make the stamina bottle.

In comparison, a powder whose continued existence is unknown seems less important.

He chose to go to town.

"Even though you are still burdened with physical punishment, the future Lord of the Mortal Realm will never compromise with anything, and you have once again embarked on the road to the town."

"You moved with the speed of the wind and soon saw the town, but you also noticed a bandit standing by the roadside."

He looked at your familiar face and thought, "I feel like I killed someone before. How come you've reappeared?"

Seeing this, Chen Fu felt not only unafraid, but also a little excited.

I'm not the same person I used to be. Come at me if you dare!

"The bandit didn't understand, but he didn't dwell on it either. He stopped you and held out his hands, demanding protection money."

He said: "I opened this road, I planted these trees, if you want to pass through..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the impatience on your face and immediately drew his sword to attack you.

It should have been done a long time ago, why ramble on and on?

Come on! Let me test your quality!

With various skills and status effects, Chen Fu was no longer afraid of bandits and only wanted to gain experience as quickly as possible.

"The bandits have attacked you."

"Should we use needlework and embroidery to fight the enemy?"

Chen Fu chose "Yes".

He didn't believe that increasing his experience points would still cause five points of damage like before.

Then all my promotions were for nothing.

"The increase in experience points makes you more powerful."

"You have dealt ten points of damage to the bandits."

Well, that's only ten points of damage. I thought I could kill him in one hit.

Chen Fu realized that it might be because it hadn't been upgraded.

Even though his experience points have increased, he is still just accumulating quantity, and there has been no qualitative change overall.

But it doesn't matter, he still has a backup plan.

"The bandits felt unprecedented pressure."

"He shouted loudly, and an eerie red light emanated from his body as he slashed at you with his sword."

"The mountains are silent, activate."

"You withstood the deadly attack and threw the silver needles again."

The bandits were terrified. They could not escape and died under the silver needles.

"You killed the bandits."

"You have gained 5% experience points."

"You have leveled up to level one."

Chen Fu immediately felt a force rushing into his body with an almost brute force.

His originally fair skin began to turn bright red, like a cooked shrimp. A strange and mysterious power swept through his body unrestrainedly, permeating his internal organs, cells, and bones.

He suddenly convulsed, causing his phone to fall onto the bed.

The pain quickly disappeared, followed by a tingling sensation that spread throughout the body, like soaking in a hot spring in winter.

So comfortable... Chen Fu felt lazy all over, lying on the hospital bed in a U-shape. This was ten times more satisfying than a midday nap!

Is this the benefit of leveling up?

Chen Fu opened his eyes and stared at his phone again.

He's already at level one, meaning his initial level was zero, which is slightly different from the design of many games.

He didn't care about these trivial matters. Maybe many beta testers are still stuck at the starting point, struggling to decide which option to choose.

"Congratulations! The future Lord of the Mortal World has finally revealed his power to the world!"

"You are like an emperor, stepping over the corpses of the bandits, leaving that obstacle behind forever, and looking up at the town before you."

That's more like it. Praise me more. When I truly become the ruler of the mortal world, I'll appoint you as the imperial eunuch.

"You've arrived in Bloodblade Town."

"You looked around outside the town and found a small earth god shrine. Should you offer incense and light it?"

"The blood-stained blade serves as incense, its fragrance following the path of evil. You have lit up the earth god temple of Bloodblade Town."

"You can use a certain amount of stamina and the blessing of the Earth God to teleport between the Earth God temples where you have offered incense, thus saving you from a long journey. After you die next time, you will appear next to the Earth God temple where you last offered incense."

When you arrive at the new map, the first thing to do is to record the teleportation points.

In this way, Chen Fu will respawn at the entrance of Blood Blade Town the next time he dies, without having to run through the map again.

"Blood Blade Town is a small mountain town in the Hu'e region. During the reign of the Lord of the Mortal World, it relied on agriculture, handicrafts and commerce for its livelihood."

"After the fall of the Lord of the Mortal World, the world was in turmoil, and famine was rampant. The townspeople of Blood Blade Town were bullied and humiliated by outsiders from all over the world. In this desperate situation, a ruthless man who called himself Blood Blade Wu Kun appeared and led the townspeople on a path of self-destruction."

"Now, Bloodblade Town has become a distinct faction. They are skilled at robbing traveling merchants, murdering and plundering, extorting and destroying families. Even more dangerous is that when they are on the verge of death, they can make sacrifices to an unknown entity, unleashing a bloodthirsty aura and delivering a desperate blow."

"Besides, they also harbor immense hatred towards the Chosen Ones. After all, the Chosen Ones are descendants of the Lord of the Mortal World. If the Lord of the Mortal World had not perished, how could Blood Blade Town have fallen into its current state?"

"But what does it matter? The Chosen Ones are people abandoned by the world. There is no place for you on this land."

Chen Fu discovered that, putting aside the dungeons, with the unlocking of new maps and the progress of exploration, the game was no longer about acting.

They were cloaked in flattery of the future Lord of the Mortal World, but now they've revealed their true colors and laid their cards on the table: I'm targeting you, I'm going to make things difficult for you, and wherever you go, you'll feel the malice of this land.

Ugh, what a trash game!

"This is a town fraught with danger, Chosen One. Will you choose to enter, or turn back and explore other places?"

Two choices: enter or leave.

If it weren't for what he just said, Chen Fu would definitely have chosen to leave.

But if you'll be targeted wherever you go, what's the point of leaving?

Chen Fu changed his mind and chose to enter.

"You have entered Bloodblade Town. The town is desolate and dilapidated. Most of the townspeople are busy robbing outside, and only the old, weak and sick remain here to do some light work."

"They looked at you with suspicion. Bloodblade Town hasn't had any outsiders for a long time."

"At the same time, they've also become interested in your identity. Is this a foolish, arrogant young man? Or a cursed chosen one?"

You involuntarily sensed a hint of danger. Should you continue exploring the town, or turn around and leave?

Chen Fu chose to continue browsing. What kind of decision would it be to give up halfway through? If you're going to do it, do it properly.

"The arrogant and ignorant chosen one continues to wander around, seemingly forgetting that he is still burdened with physical punishment. A chance victory makes you blindly arrogant."

"Indeed, in the blood of the chosen ones, besides positive qualities, greed also accounts for a large part."

"But I must say, your greed earned you an opportunity; you met the successor of the Master of Skillful Arts."

"Are you going to approach her and ask about making stamina potions, or will you pretend you didn't see her and turn away?"

My greatest strength is my magnanimity; I usually choose to ignore others' mockery.

Chen Fu, lying on the hospital bed, crossed his legs and clicked to go over and start a conversation.

With stamina bottles, there's no need to worry about stamina penalties anymore, so it's definitely better to get them as soon as possible.

"You stepped forward, trying to strike up a conversation. Just as the descendant of Qiaosheng Gong turned around, ready to respond, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the side."

He looked at you and yelled: "You killed my son, you deserve to die!"

Before you could even react, your head was chopped off.

Is this guy the bandit's father? This plot twist is too sudden! He was the one who stole from me first!

"You have come to the gates of hell once again, and the ghost general stares numbly at your familiar face."

"Coroner's Walker Ability, triggered."

"You were on the verge of death when you saw the figure of that bandit. He was muttering to himself. If you listened carefully, you would discover that it was an evil skill."

"You have obtained the fragment of the Blood Gluttonous Inner Realm (learnable material)."
