Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

In addition, some thoughtful players, after summarizing the experiences of veteran players, have roughly divided the game world currently encountered by players in the community into five categories:

Survival-type: The core objective is to survive for a specified time in extremely dangerous environments (natural disasters, monsters, radiation, viruses, etc.). The zombie apartment Lin Yu experienced is a typical example. This type of instance has the widest scope and the most variables.

The eerie genre: Games featuring supernatural ghosts, curses, and rule-based killing scenarios, where players need to understand the rules, find a way to survive, or fight against spirits.

This is also the game type that many players hate the most, because most ghosts are immune to physical attacks. Players can only try their best to collect targeted items (holy water, talismans, exorcism weapons), but these things are generally very expensive and ordinary players simply cannot afford them.

This is why most players die in these types of games.

Puzzle games focus on logical reasoning, solving puzzles, and information gathering.

There are fewer combat elements and a higher requirement for intelligence, but the advantage is that these games are generally team-based, and there are very few situations involving single players or player-versus-player combat.

If there is a smart person in the team and the other players are willing to listen to him, there is a high probability that the game can be completed (of course, this situation is rare).

Competitive games are generally player-versus-player (FPS) games (such as red and blue teams, multi-faction battles, and battle royale modes).

The core objective is to defeat other players or achieve faction goals.

Finally, there are casual games, which have the lowest probability of appearing and are usually the easiest.

These might be simulation management, planting, or simple errand-running tasks, with the fewest rewards.

It is the "vacation instance" that players have been dreaming of.

However, it appears very rarely, and even many players who have played the game seven or eight times have never encountered it.

Analyzing this intelligence, Lin Yu made some predictions about the next instance he might face.

Of course, the types of things he least wants to encounter are the bizarre and puzzle-solving genres.

Needless to say, the only thing he can effectively damage spirits right now is the effect of [Executioner's Blade], which is too limited and too risky for close combat.

Puzzle-solving is his weakness. He knows he's not particularly quick-witted and might be at a loss when faced with mind-bending puzzles.

Therefore, in the past two days, besides selling blueprints, he has also been keeping an eye out for items in the public chat and trading area that can deal with the supernatural or enhance survival and combat abilities, especially those that are effective against the supernatural.

Unfortunately, such items are almost extinct in public channels. When one does appear, it is either extremely expensive or sold out instantly.

He asked his newly added friend "Violent Ghost Slayer," who also said that he didn't have any extra stock on hand because these kinds of items were too sought after.

"It seems the really good stuff is all in that small circle where you need to clear the dungeon three times to get in..." Lin Yu thought helplessly.

He has only cleared the level once so far, and is still two attempts away from the required level. His chances of obtaining powerful items to counter the strange monsters in the short term are slim.

"I can only hope that the next dungeon won't be some kind of weird one..." Lin Yu lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

……

Time flies, and soon Lin Yu's vacation was over.

During this period, Lin Yu had been trying to acquire items that could harm the supernatural.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and he failed to get any of them.

Therefore, he could only choose another option: to go to the enhancement area and enhance his existing equipment, especially the [Executioner's Blade], which was currently his strongest melee equipment and the only equipment that could damage the strange creatures.

He upgraded all three pieces of bronze equipment he was wearing—the long-distance running shoes, the executioner's blade, and the bulletproof windbreaker—to +3.

The total cost was 36 game coins (2 game coins for the first upgrade, 4 game coins for the second upgrade, and 6 game coins for the third upgrade).

Fortunately, even the third enhancement of bronze-level equipment has an 85% success rate, so Lin Yu did not fail. However, this also made him realize that the success rate of equipment that can be enhanced multiple times will not be high in the future.

There might be items in the game that can increase the success rate of enhancements.

As for the enhanced attributes, the running shoes' attribute improvements remain unchanged, still agility and constitution +2, only the durability has been increased to 100 and the stamina consumption reduction has been increased to 16%.

The executioner's blade has been upgraded to 75 attack power and 100 durability, and has also gained a special effect that increases damage against monsters of bronze level and below by 10%.

The bulletproof windbreaker has its durability increased to 100, bullet damage reduction increased to 80%, and impact reduction increased to 90%.

Lin Yu's strength has greatly increased.

In addition, although he didn't manage to buy any equipment to deal with the strange creatures, he did manage to buy a skill card that was somewhat useful.

It's called "Fierce and Evil Spirit," a Black Iron-level skill. Its effect is to intimidate eerie entities when equipped.

Because of this effect, the price of this Iron-tier skill has increased to 20 game coins.

This left Lin Yu speechless.

Lin Yu spent 56 game coins, and now he has 100 game coins.

Lin Yu spent the remaining 7 game coins in the entertainment area.

Of course, it's not just ordinary entertainment, but like practicing shooting before, training in all sorts of potentially useful skills.

Furthermore, Lin Yu even went to the scariest haunted house in the entertainment district for a period of time to study, so that if he were to enter a creepy game, he wouldn't be scared out of his wits by those eerie creatures.

He felt that it should have some effect, after all, according to the waiters in the entertainment area, the staff in the haunted house in the entertainment area were all truly eerie.

This left Lin Yu speechless. This game system was truly insane; it even brought real ghosts into the haunted house to work as employees.

They even prey on the dead, using them as livestock after they've died.

He couldn't spend the remaining 100 game coins no matter what he did, which was the saddest thing for him—that he would one day find himself unable to spend his money.

There's nothing to say about it.

This made Lin Yu even more eager to join that so-called internal community chat group.

After all, in a godforsaken place like this, saving too much money is really not a good thing, based on his simple experience playing League of Legends back in the day.

It's reasonable to convert gold coins into actual combat power as soon as possible.

But he couldn't do anything about it. Unless he went crazy and bought useless junk in the trading area or indulged in extravagance in the entertainment area, he just couldn't spend his money.

In this situation, the last day of vacation has passed.

Lin Yu's second round of the game begins.

-

You have entered the Haunted Building game.

There are 5 players in this round. Players are prohibited from killing each other.

[This round of the game lasts for ten days. Every two days, the evil spirit will emerge and kill one player. Players are encouraged to explore the game and find ways to stop the evil spirit. The game ends if you successfully survive for ten days.]

[The game has officially begun...]
