Chapter 1 Midnight

Midnight, Feng Bujue was already lying in the game pod, having selected the option to log in instantly after falling asleep.

Nowadays, Brother Jue had a very sharp ability—he could precisely control things like going to the toilet or sleeping, which were usually done "by feel," as he pleased.

This ability wasn't present when he was practicing the Dun Jia Heavenly Book, nor when Qi Zhi was fusing his spiritual body for him. It wasn't until Simon unlocked "some kind of power" within him that he naturally mastered this skill.

From then on, Feng Bujue could fall asleep instantly whenever he wanted, and he could also decide when to wake up—with the time accurate to the minute.

Moreover, his sleep was very efficient and of high quality.

He had experimented...he only needed to sleep for an hour to maintain a good state for the next sixteen hours.

Of course, similar situations could only be maintained for a day or two; doing so in the long term would still lead to fatigue.

[Access type is sleep mode, adjusting...adjustment complete, please set the time to load the game, or return to the previous options.]

[Setting complete, the connection program will start immediately after you fall asleep, good night.]

These were the last two voice prompts Feng Bujue heard before falling asleep.

When he regained consciousness, he was already standing in the familiar landing space.

Feng Bujue then stretched his arms and walked to the touch screen, operating it a few times on the interface.

He opened the social bar and found that many of his friends were online, and all of them were [In Game].

However, this was also expected. Most of his friends were professional or high-end players, and these players would definitely make good use of every minute after obtaining the "limited-time experience" qualification.

Very few people like Feng Bujue would use non-sleep mode to play for a few hours during the day... For professional players, playing in non-sleep mode for an hour during the experience period was equivalent to losing eight hours of game time; even if they wanted to do so, the studio would not allow it.

"Hmm... Miss An Da is online." Feng Bujue looked at the guild members again. Only An Yueqin was online, and she was already [In Game]. "Aren't the others on..."

Anyway, Brother Jue had already sent messages to his friends online during the day. Since team mode could not be queued during the limited-time experience, everyone would just leave a message if they had something to say after going online, and play their own single-player games if they didn't.

"Well... time is limited, I'd better hurry up and queue for a game." Feng Bujue browsed the information on the touch screen for a while, and then prepared to join the single-player mode queue.

But at this moment, he heard a voice prompt: [Your extra rewards from the previous scenario have not been claimed, please claim them before opening a new scenario]

"Eh?" Feng Bujue said immediately after hearing this, "That's right, what about the extra rewards?"

When he obtained the [Rat Hammer] and [just_we] in the afternoon, he was actually wondering—where was the place to claim the extra rewards?

After the renovation of the storage room, those glass pillars that generated rewards no longer appeared, and the drawer on the wall... when Brother Jue approached and used it, it did not give any prompts regarding extra rewards.

Because he was logged in in non-sleep mode at the time, he didn't take the time to look for it carefully and hastily went offline. Now, after being reminded by the system, Brother Jue remembered this again.

"Hmm..." Feng Bujue thought, "There's no information on this in the update patch and FAQ..." He looked at the social bar again, "If I ask someone... people are basically racing against the clock to grind scenarios, and now it's only the first night, most people probably haven't even cleared the first scenario yet."

Thinking of this, he clicked on the customer service option, which he almost never used.

[Please enter the question you want to ask] A window quickly popped up on the screen, with voice and text input methods available below the window.

Feng Bujue chose voice, directly held down the record button and asked: "Excuse me, how do I claim the extra rewards for the Fear rating now?"

After speaking, he released the record button, and the audio was automatically saved and generated into a file.

Brother Jue then clicked send.

As a result, the reply came in less than a second...

[Please enter the "Scary Box" to claim]

"Automatic reply?" Feng Bujue knew that this message was automatically replied by the system when he saw the reply speed.

If it were a human customer service representative, even if the representative received the audio one second after Brother Jue sent the message, immediately clicked it open, and then he/she listened to the content, thought, and then replied by typing or voice... this series of actions would take at least dozens of seconds, it was impossible to reply within a second.

"Hmm... so this customer service system is quite convenient." Feng Bujue didn't like to use this before because he didn't like to deal with strangers (of course, not liking it didn't mean he wasn't good at it). He didn't know that more than half of the work of Thriller Paradise's customer service system was done by the optical brain—for many simple questions, the system could directly answer based on keywords.

"Okay..." Two seconds later, Brother Jue pressed the button next to the elevator door while saying, "Then let's take a trip to the 'Scary Box'."

Before he finished speaking, the elevator door opened.

Sure enough, the shape of the Scary Box had also changed...

At this time, what appeared in front of Feng Bujue was a space of less than eight square meters. It looked only a little bigger than the elevator room.

In this space, there was a table and a sofa chair, both pieces of furniture were facing the elevator door and were fixed to the ground.

On that table, there was a colorful gift box. The size of the box was about the size of a basketball, and its surface was an exaggerated color mixed with various colors of red, green, blue, and purple.

"Ha! I can finally browse the goods while sitting." For Brother Jue, who often stood in the Scary Box for several hours, this change in space undoubtedly improved the user experience.

"Okay... let me sit and see if it's comfortable..." As Feng Bujue spoke, he took two steps forward and sat down on the sofa chair.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down...

duang~

Accompanied by an abrupt sound, the box on the table in front of him suddenly popped open.

A strange-style puppet with a spring attached to its lower body popped out of the box.

[Hee hee hee...] Then, the puppet made a few bizarre laughs and said, [Please choose an extra reward.]

As he said this, a window also floated in front of Brother Jue's eyes, with a total of three options:

[1. Skill Value 4000 points]

[2. One additional skill slot]

[3. One Title Reset Right]
