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

Chapter 63 Raising an Arm in Cry, Revealing the Truth

After listening to the story, Zhou Jianbang felt that Chen Fu was really brave, daring to face the monsters and demons in the game all by himself.

If you're not careful, it won't just be a simple matter of getting injured; it will definitely lead to a funeral procession and the whole village being thrown into a feast.

Chen Fu didn't think that much about it. Xi's existence gave him an advantage that other players couldn't match at this stage. If he was still timid and hesitant, how could he become the Lord of the Mortal World?

This incident also confirmed a fact.

After level 3 job advancement, players can obtain one more thing in the game: Divine Gear Remnants.

This is something that can directly enhance a player's strength, providing a powerful guarantee both in reality and in the game.

After killing the Laughing and Crying Spirit Official, he obtained two divine equipment remnants, which would be a good choice whether he used them himself or sold them.

Deep down, Chen Fu didn't really want to use it.

Xi and the Crying and Laughing Spirit Officials are enemies. Putting the two of them together might cause them to fight as soon as they meet, thus creating unnecessary consequences.

On the other hand, neither the servants nor the crying and laughing spirits have much potential and are far inferior to the legendary quality of Xi.

Chen Fu is a bit of a perfectionist; not just the legendary perfectionists, but those who aren't satisfied with anything can't meet his standards.

However, others became very interested in such divine artifacts, even if they were not of the highest quality, because they could still greatly enhance their abilities.

When Zhou Jianbang learned that Chen Fu had obtained two divine artifact remains and wanted to sell them, he immediately told him to wait a moment and then reported the matter to Yanjing.

Yanjing showed great interest in Chen Fu's new creations.

After extensive discussions and research, and considering factors such as quality and long-term development, it was decided to purchase the remains of the divine attire of the Weeping and Laughing Spirit Official's servants for 50,000 coins.

The price for the "Crying and Laughing Spirit Official" himself was ultimately set at 100,000 coins.

In other words, the Beijing headquarters of the Spirit Investigation Bureau is willing to spend 150,000 coins to purchase these two divine artifact remains.

Furthermore, the Yanjing headquarters will proactively cover the transaction fees and give Chen Fu the full 150,000 coins for the purpose of amulet worship.

However, they also made a request: they needed some time to raise the money.

Chen Fu was naturally happy about this. Since he didn't care about it anyway, if the Beijing General Bureau wanted to buy it, he could just give it to them. He could use the money from the amulets to upgrade his skills. He wanted to see what kind of changes would occur after both skills reached level five.

Chen Fu thought he would contact Bai Ruhua once the money arrived. He hadn't chatted with any girls lately, so he could take this opportunity to strengthen their relationship.

After receiving a positive reply, Zhou Jianbang sent a notification to Yanjing.

He then wanted Du Fanyu to come and keep Chen Fu company while he went back to handle other matters. However, Chen Fu said it wasn't necessary; he wasn't a child and didn't need anyone to accompany him.

Besides, the Laughing and Crying Spirit has already been dealt with. If the demons and monsters supporting it come looking for trouble, we can just contact them then. There's no need to make things too complicated.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhou Jianbang agreed, instructed the on-duty nurse to keep a close eye on Chen Fu, and then quickly left the hospital.

The matter of the Laughing and Crying Spirit Officer's sneak attack on the Ghost Bride in an attempt to seize the position of Lord of the Wedding City has thus come to an end.

Chen Fu completely relaxed and soon fell asleep leaning back in his chair, not even waking up when the nurse removed his IV.

The next morning, Chen Fu returned to school with Du Fanyu's help. After attending classes all day, he lay on his dormitory bed and started playing games in the evening.

The future ruler of the mortal world must continue his conquests on the battlefield!

"Chosen One, you have stepped back into the City of Weddings and Funerals. Compared to yesterday, this place has undergone a complete transformation."

"The citizens continued to busy themselves with wedding preparations for the ghost bride. Although they did not know why the ghost bride disappeared without a trace on the wedding day, they had received news that the wedding would not be canceled, so they continued to strive to find good families for their children."

"You discover many unfamiliar faces in the City of Weddings and Funerals. They are not your fellow Chosen Ones, but followers of the Moneylender from Silver Root City."

"The followers of the Moneylender have brought good news to the citizens of the Wedding and Funeral City: by mortgaging various things, they can obtain money from them to satisfy the wedding ceremony of the ghost bride."

"In order to give their children a perfect marriage or funeral, many city dwellers who are involved in weddings and funerals receive money from the followers of the moneylender, thinking of paving the way for the future."

"Of course, after the ghost bride's wedding is over, both the parents and the married couple will need to work hard to repay the loan shark's help. How wonderful, the whole family can work together for a common goal."

The ghost bride is long dead and has now become Xi. The Laughing and Crying Spirit who murdered her has also been eliminated. So why are the people in the Wedding City still preparing for the wedding?

Chen Fu scratched his head, sensing something was wrong. He focused his gaze on the loan shark, guessing that it was this group of people who had caused the situation.

As mentioned in previous game texts, the Laughing and Crying Spirit was able to successfully ambush the Ghost Bride and cause her death because of the support of another demon and monster.

He wanted to obtain the divine artifacts from the corpses so that he could become the new city lord of the Wedding Burial City and offer tribute to the demons and monsters behind it.

Now it seems that this demon is very likely a loan shark, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that the Crying and Laughing Spirit Officer died and his followers appeared in the Wedding and Funeral City?

Following this line of thought, it seems that the loan shark already knows the fate of the Laughing and Crying Spirit Official. Now he can't hold back anymore and doesn't want to accept tributes in a steady stream. He's directly letting believers come and lend money, turning it into outright robbery!

Chen Fu felt it was very likely, and the subsequent game text confirmed his idea.

"Chosen One, you've realized that the loan shark is secretly supporting the demons and monsters who are helping the Laughing and Crying Spirit. Now that he's discovered the Laughing and Crying Spirit died in the City of Weddings and Funerals, he's changed his methods, sending his followers to lend money and collect payments, continuing his plan to annex the City of Weddings and Funerals."

"What do you plan to do? Will you leave the Wedding Funeral City and go somewhere else, no longer caring about things here? Or will you raise your voice and expose the loan shark's despicable deeds?"

"Be careful, if you choose the second option, you are very likely to attract the attention of the loan shark. However, he has already ordered his followers to investigate the truth behind the death of the Laughing and Crying Spirit. It is only a matter of time before they find you."

Since I'll be found no matter what I do, I might as well expose the loan shark directly. I have experience in successfully eliminating evil spirits and demons, so I'm not afraid of encountering any danger to my life.

As Chen Fu thought this, he continued working and clicked on the second option.

"Your choice to expose the moneylender's despicable acts has had a certain impact on the citizens of the city of weddings and funerals, and they have begun to change their views on the moneylender."

"When the moneylender's followers saw that things were not going well, they split into two groups. One group returned to Silver Root City to report the news, while the other group came to you, wanting to shut you up forever."

"You summoned the '囍' (double happiness) and, together with the demons and monsters you contracted, launched a fierce battle against the loan shark's followers."

"You have successfully eliminated the followers of the Moneylender, which has once again convinced the citizens of the Wedding and Funeral City of your words."

"They all think that if the moneylender's followers had nothing to hide, why would they be so eager to cause you trouble?"

"Your reputation in the City of Weddings and Funerals has increased significantly."

"You are being watched by some monsters and demons."

Seeing this, Chen Fu thought to himself, "So what if he's staring? He's probably the loan shark from Silver City. He's very powerful now, so I'm not afraid at all."

But things took an unexpected turn for the better than Chen Fu had predicted.

The second wave of people who arrived were not loan sharks, but rather the demons and monsters that originally existed in the wedding and funeral city.

"General Jiao refuted your claims, arguing that the loan shark was actually benefiting the wedding and funeral city and was not as despicable as you described."

"With the Ghost Bride's wedding now confirmed, General Jiao's savings have been depleted. The seven camphor wood chests filled with jewelry in the Jiao Inn's cellar are empty. He desperately needs to rely on the loan shark to maintain a respectable life and doesn't believe your story at all."

"Grandma Sewing Skin also jumped out, strongly supporting General Jiao's remarks and accusing you of trying to incite chaos and plunge the Wedding Funeral City into a miserable state of infighting."

"As the largest supplier of wedding and funeral supplies in the wedding and funeral city, Granny Fengpi absolutely does not want to lose her source of income because of this. Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, she believes it is a fabrication because it is related to whether she can continue to make money."

The city of weddings and funerals originally had four demons and monsters. The ghost bride was ambushed and killed by the Laughing and Crying Spirit, who was then dealt with by Chen Fu. Now only the sedan chair general and the sewing skin granny remain.

As can be seen from the game text, these two don't care about the lives of ordinary citizens at all; they only think about themselves, which is why they jumped out.

Chen Fu clicked his tongue, gaining a new understanding of the demons and monsters in the mortal world.

This group of scoundrels not only thinks about causing trouble all the time, but they are also extremely selfish!

He also knew that this was a common phenomenon, not only in the mortal world but also in other places.

Knowing this, Chen Fu was not prepared to give up and insisted on his point of view. At worst, it was just a fight. He could even kill the Crying and Laughing Spirit Official, so why would he be afraid of these two?

"Your insistence on your own opinion angered General Jiao and Granny Fengpi, and they launched an attack on you."

"The sedan chair general started circling you rapidly, and when it found the right opportunity, it bumped into your lower back, sending you flying."

"The power of your vows within the patchwork robe is being rapidly depleted. Although you are not seriously injured, you will not be able to use this item again today."

"You took out a frying pan and recited the crimes of these two monsters. In your eyes, this was a confession forced out of anger and shame."

"The Vajra Buddha's voice and the power of words to convey the Tao will transform your words into clear, tangible words, appearing in the sky above the City of Weddings and Funerals. Every word and sentence will reveal the crimes of General Sedan Chair and Granny Sewing Skin."

"Grandma Sewing Skin doesn't speak, she just keeps taking out needles and thread and digging them deep into your flesh. She wants to turn you into a speechless doll, and then peel off your skin to make wedding clothes and mourning clothes, so that you will never be reincarnated."

"You sensed a great threat and summoned Xi to fight alongside the demons and monsters you had made a contract with, hoping to use this to resist the threat from General Jiao and Granny Fengpi."

"Chosen One, your approach is the safest at this stage, but you've overlooked one thing."

"As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, let alone the sedan chair general who has more than four hands. The strength you and your demons and monsters currently possess is not enough to deal with two equally matched opponents at the same time."

"General Jiao found his chance and knocked the frying pan out of your hand. Granny Sewing Skin, who was assisting from the side, also used her needle and thread to restrain Xi."

"You were thrown out by General Jiao's attack, and in mid-air, countless needles pierced your flesh."

"You are dead."

"The mountains are silent, activate."

"General Jiao and Granny Fengpi were quite surprised that you could still be so lively and energetic. They were stunned for a moment. They had never seen anyone like you before."

"The dirty butcher who was watching the show recognized your methods and loudly urged General Jiao to do it again, saying that you had used the same method to steal the Yin-Yang Blade from him before."

"The family of three who had been hiding in the shadows immediately jumped out, and the woman holding the Yin-Yang knife swung the blade at the menacing General."

"They are the family that asked you to bring them the Yin-Yang Blade. They originally intended to take revenge on the Crying and Laughing Spirit Official, but they didn't expect you to have already eliminated him. In order to repay you, they decided to fight alongside you to eliminate General Sedan Chair and Granny Sewing Skin."

Hehe, I knew there would still be people who wouldn't be fooled.

Chen Fu looked at the game text and a smile appeared on his lips.

I helped you guys before, and now you're helping me. We really are good friends.

Come, come, let me see what other tricks these two demons and monsters haven't used yet.

Originally, after the fight broke out, Chen Fu thought about going to the hospital, even if he wasn't sick, he would wait until he got sick.

But as things unfolded, he discovered that the style of the sedan chair general and the leather-sewing old woman was quite different from that of the crying and laughing spirit official.

The first two are more direct and brutal, aiming to resolve the issue within the game. The latter is more insidious, creating a culture of ignorance and depravity at will.

It's hard to say which style is better, but Chen Fu definitely prefers the way things are now, at least he doesn't have to go to the hospital anymore.

"With your helper, you begin to show your prowess, wielding your frying pan with a loud crackling sound, as if you're about to smash General Sewing Machine and Granny Sewing Machine to pieces."

"If this place weren't so far from the Han River, the frying pan would be even more powerful, but that doesn't matter. Right now, you're full of confidence that you can wipe out those two monsters with a wave of your hand."

"There was a time when you were someone who couldn't even kill a bandit, but now you're qualified to challenge demons and monsters."

"Chosen One, though your past is bleak, your future..."

"The men who went to inform the moneylender have returned to the Wedding City. They brought with them the moneylender's latest orders: the Wedding City must be taken over at all costs."

"This is the largest city in the Hubei region, and it must become an important area for loan sharks to lend money. Anyone who tries to create chaos will become a target of attack."

"The loan shark's followers joined the battle, which gave General Sewing Skin Granny a boost of confidence, and they began to launch a frenzied attack on you."

"You were overwhelmed by the followers of the Moneylender, you were torn apart by countless mouths in the turmoil, and you felt immense pain."

"General Jiao and Granny Sewing Skin pressed their advantage, one wounding your kidney, the other piercing your heart with a needle."

"The demons and monsters you contracted wanted to help, but they were blocked at a distance and couldn't move. The family of three was in the same situation; they couldn't even reach you. You were beaten to death by a flurry of punches."

"You are dead."

What kind of mortal version of "a teacher being killed by a flurry of punches" is this? The game text was praising him so much, but he died in just a few moves?

Chen Fu's eyes widened as he once again felt the deep malice emanating from the game.

However, this is not the end of the story.
