Chapter 11

Chapter 11

In this rapidly developing city, which was expected to become the second largest metropolis in Yaoguo Country apart from the capital, the existence of the old city symbolized the last history of Yuanyang City.

It was like the elderly who lived here, half-buried in the earth, who would sooner or later be abandoned by the new era.

And this car accident, on the contrary, made this place, which was so quiet that it was almost forgotten, noisy for the first time.

In the following days, the noise continued.

Relatives, friends, students of the Gu family.....all kinds of acquaintances rushed over when they heard the news, causing Bai Yi’s mind to be filled with even more chaotic and noisy voices.

Fortunately, such noise was only temporary. Bai Yi simply stayed at home, entering dreams during the day to explore the Nightmare Game.

It was still that familiar, suffocating deep sea, as thick as ink, as dark as night, with fragments of stars scattered in the ocean surrounding him.

Until he gently touched one of them. Then, he woke up in a nightmare.

It seemed that even after loading the Nightmare Game, Bai Yi still couldn’t actively choose which nightmare fragment to enter. Just like before, he would wake up randomly in any dream, on any person.

The only difference was that in the past, he was aimless in his dreams. He could only do anything based on his own guesses until he stumbled upon the solution.

As time went on, Bai Yi realized that the key to ending the nightmare cycle lay in the role he entered. Only by following the wishes deep in the character’s heart, fulfilling the character’s desires, and turning the nightmare into a beautiful dream, would the dream completely leave him and stop entangling him repeatedly.

And after the Nightmare Game system was activated, Bai Yi didn’t need to rack his brains to guess. The moment he woke up in the nightmare fragment, the game system revealed the conditions for clearing the game—

[You are the owner of a flower shop.]

[This flower shop is ordinary, business is okay, it is one of the many flower shops in the city, not noticeable.]

[Relying on the income of the flower shop, you barely make ends meet. You live a life that is not enough for the upper class, but more than enough for the lower class.]

[–But you were not satisfied with this.]

[Running a flower shop was your dream. Every flower was planted, cared for, and sent out by your own hands. You hoped they could bring happiness to every customer, and you hoped that the flowers you planted yourself would be loved and praised by everyone.]

[Task: Collect sincere praise from a thousand customers.]

The system’s narration ended, and the familiar player panel appeared.

[Hint: This character is a one-star ordinary character card, integrating achievements will have a 90% chance of generating extraordinary characteristics.]

Awakening from the Nightmare Game, Bai Yi looked at the lines of text hanging in front of him, somewhat surprised.

In the past few days of exploring the Nightmare Game, he had already cleared many nightmare fragments that were not difficult at all, all of which were very daily tasks.

In the end, he only obtained one Nightmare Crystal (White) and 10 points.

He had thought that this task of running a flower shop would be no exception.

Unexpectedly, not only was the reward equivalent to the sum of those from previous nightmare fragments, but he also obtained another character card. The most surprising thing was the so-called achievements and extraordinary characteristics.

...As for whether to integrate achievements and automatically generate characteristics?

Was this question even worth considering?

........

“Is this question even worth considering? The facts have now proven that Han Shan did not lie that day, at least, what he said was not entirely false. We certainly need to investigate...”

“Just based on a few drops of suspicious blood of unknown origin, without any other evidence, and without any missing persons report...This is a bit too far-fetched.”

“But these few drops of human blood, which cannot find any matching information in the national DNA database, are enough to prove that he indeed encountered something unusual that night. My intuition tells me that there is something going on here, it’s not simple.”

In the police station, Li Fufeng rarely argued with his colleagues.

When he initially agreed to help Han Shan test the blood, he was just out of goodwill, hoping to reassure him after the results came out.

But even he didn’t expect that he would actually find a stranger’s blood on the other person’s clothes.

This made the situation become strange.

Assuming that Han Shan did encounter a murder case that night, the murderer could certainly escape, the body could be destroyed, but an inn, such a conspicuous building, couldn’t disappear overnight, could it?

But if all this was just his illusion, how could he explain these few drops of human blood of unknown origin?

Li Fufeng always felt that there was something strange about this, and wanted to persuade his colleagues to investigate together, but the others didn’t take this seriously, thinking that he was thinking too much.

Just at this moment, several police officers who had gone out to investigate returned. Liu Ningshuang ran in front, full of energy, clapped her hands, and attracted everyone’s attention. “Everyone, it’s time to work, the culprit of that car accident has been found!”
