Chapter 313 A Long-Awaited Nightmare

June 3rd, 00:07 AM.

Feng Bujue left Xiao Tan's conference room and returned to his login space.

Just now, he,似雨(Si Yu), Xiao Tan, and 悲灵(Bei Ling) had discussed the decoration of the conference room. They had decided to use Xiao Tan's conference room as their main gathering place in the future. Therefore, they decided to buy him all the things he needed, such as sofas, coffee tables, and luxurious conference tables, and to change the wallpaper and flooring to something more pleasing. Anyway, for a rich man, money was never a problem...

These few were now quite familiar with each other, and even if they didn't meet in Thriller Paradise, they would chat online. They had already talked a lot about the Peak Contenders' Battle a few days ago. So after logging in that day, the four didn't mention the competition itself much, but rather discussed the prizes.

After Feng Bujue showed off his terrible prize, he distributed the four scouting and medical specialization skill cards to his teammates. As for that [Gangjiao]... he planned to sell it directly to the store; such a trash skill would probably cost him money just to put it up for auction.

Regarding Xiao Tan's prize, let's not talk about it for now, and instead return to Feng Bujue's side...

Since Brother Jue's level was now forty-three, far ahead of his three teammates from Hell's Frontline, queuing for scripts together would only increase the difficulty and reduce the rewards. Therefore, he hadn't had many opportunities to queue for scripts with them recently.

He had already made a plan to reduce his login frequency in the coming days, trying to only play nightmare-difficulty scripts. If he couldn't clear them, so be it, and even if he could, he wouldn't choose experience points for the extra rewards, but instead choose equipment. Anyway, he had the [Type Zero Magic Destroyer], so whether the equipment was bound or not didn't matter...

Having said that, you've probably already guessed it, right, next is...

Unequipped Skill: 【Evil King's Flame Kill Black Dragon Wave】

Compared to before the Peak Contenders' Battle, Feng Bujue's data hadn't changed much. The main changes were: he had increased his skill points, advanced one level in his Fighting specialization, scammed a legendary item from Duo Ling, and... his skill bar was overflowing.

After some deliberation, Feng Bujue decided to temporarily remove 【Evil King's Flame Kill Black Dragon Wave】 from his skill bar. Although this was an active attack skill, Brother Jue's attack methods were very rich now, so he didn't need to carry too many. Perhaps when his level was higher, he could abandon 【Ice Artificer's Obsession】, a passive skill, but for now, it was better to keep it.

"Okay..." Feng Bujue finished organizing himself and stood in front of the touch screen. "A long-awaited nightmare script..."

After a few simple operations, the system prompt sounded:

【Crazyjue, Level 43】

【Please select the game mode you want to join.】

【You have selected Single Survival Mode (Nightmare). Please confirm.】

【Confirmed. Script is being generated...】

【Loading has begun. Please wait.】

The elevator... moved.

"Welcome to Thriller Paradise," a deep female voice said.

【Loading complete. You are currently in Single Survival Mode (Nightmare).】

【This mode provides script introductions and has a chance to trigger side hidden missions and special worldviews.】

【Script Completion Reward: Puzzle Card*2.】

【The script introduction will now be played. The game will begin immediately after the playback is complete.】

"Hmm... feels like we're moving downwards..." Feng Bujue muttered to himself while listening to the system prompt. "This kind of entry method... means there won't be an opening CG, huh."

As it turned out, he was wrong...

Buzz--hiss--

Suddenly, the touch screen next to Brother Jue... automatically changed the picture. An irregular, wavy black and white texture appeared on the screen, accompanied by a strange hissing sound.

In the 1980s and 1990s, televisions that used antennas to receive signals often displayed this kind of image. However, after the innovation of cathode-ray tube technology, even in the absence of a signal, televisions would at most display a dense, regular static. A scene similar to the one before him... was hard to see anymore.

However, Brother Jue had seen a lot of old movies, so he had naturally seen this before, because there were similar scenes in many horror movies...

"Buzz...you...hiss...buzz...are...late..." In that eerie and blurry image, fragmented words were spoken, sounding like a man's voice. "Buzz...late..."

Feng Bujue cautiously approached the display screen, frowning and leaning closer to watch, thinking to himself, "Is this the plot summary?"

【Tonight, you are late again,】 the voice continued, speaking still very vaguely, but fortunately the translation function of the game menu was triggered, providing subtitles very considerately.

【Clearly, you are a very bad night watchman.】

【First of all, you can't even do the most basic thing: arrive on time.】

【Secondly, you are often lazy, not doing patrols all night, hiding in the security room to sleep.】

【Also, you always flirt with the night shift nurses and female doctors whenever you get the chance.】

【No one likes you, Lester.】

【You are a sloppy, casual, unscrupulous, irresponsible guy.】

【Your handsome face can make a good first impression, but within three sentences, that impression will be shattered by your debauched words and deeds.】

【Tonight is your last night working here. Of course, you don't know that yet. Let me tell you... the personnel department has decided to fire you. You will be replaced by a soon-to-retire gentleman. He was injured in the war, and his left leg is a bit lame, but everyone thinks he can do a better job than you.】

【Now, go do your job, or... just coast through your last shift, whatever.】
