It took Feng Bujue a whole hour to finish bathing the cat. When he was done, there were a few additional claw marks on his arms, and he sweated so much that he was the one who needed another bath, but at least he was done. Initially, he still wished to do some more housework, but after this struggle, he decided to rethink his plan. To bathe a cat... that was a bit too intense as an after-dinner exercise.

He slumped on the sofa and wished to take a breather. Since he was already seated, he switched on the television. Since the television was already on and he did not feel like watching commercials, he turned to another entertainment channel. And since he had already changed the channel, he should at least find something to watch, and thus, he clicked open the list of horror movies...

Weirdly enough, they liked to make sequels for horror movies. After seeing the first movie, no matter how bad it was, out of curiosity, the viewers would come back for the sequel. Their thought process was mainly, Perhaps the sequel is not bad? Why else would they be ready to make the third film already?

After watching the sequel and realized that it was as bad as the first one, the viewer would think, What is it about the third film? Why is there a fourth film? What happens after that? How did they manage to drag out such a preposterous story for so long? Perhaps there might be an unexpected development later on.

In any case, that was how Feng Bujue finished three ninety-minute-long horror movies in one sitting, and he concluded, "I’ve spent yet another four hours of my life on horrible movies."

He lifted his eyes to glance at the clock. It was around 10:30 pm. If he logged into the game, he could use sleep mode, but it seemed a bit too early. However, in non-sleep mode... if he ran into a slightly long scenario, it would be 2 am when he was done. That would not be a good use of his time.

With that in mind... Feng Bujue’s eyes wandered to the television screen again. "Should I finish the fourth film..."

Five seconds later, he gave himself a slap to remove that scary thought from his mind. Then, he lay in the gaming hub and logged into Thriller Paradise in non-sleeping mode.

The log-in lobby looked about the same. After Feng Bujue appeared in the elevator, the first thing he did was touch the social tab on the screen. Brother Long had gone offline, and so had Flashes of Sword. Xiao Tan was not online, but Passing Rain and Laughing Soul’s names were lit up. They could be seen in the friend list, so it meant that they were also in the non-sleeping mode server, but unfortunately, their status said that they were currently in-game.

Feng Bujue checked his system mailbox. There was a private mail and a system mail. He opened the private mail first. The sender was Zen Dream, and the content was only one sentence. "If you are willing to give me face, Brother Feng, do accept my friend request. When you’re free, join us in our conference room for a chat."

"What is this?" Feng Bujue mumbled to himself. "Brother Feng is not willing."

He deleted the mail.

"They just want to get information about the Anomaly from me and perhaps invite me to join Regulation."

Feng Bujue’s guess was eighty percent correct. He was too lazy to reject the man in person. After all, when Zen Dream did not receive the new friend notification or mail reply, he would get the hint.

Consumption: One hundred percent of the user’s Life Points.

Learning Requirement: Sorcery Mastery E

Remark: To eat or be eaten... this problem has been solved.

———

"How is it solved‽ You’ve been eaten, right?" Feng Bujue’s grumbled. His Sorcery level did improve by a level after completing the previous scenario. This skill was clearly a kamikaze skill. As a single-use skill, its usage required the player to sacrifice all their Life Points. In other words, whether or not the enemy survived after its use, the player themself would definitely be dead.

And the second skill card was an extremely valuable passive skill card, but the effect was rather curious.

———

Name: The Persistence of the Ice Chemist

Skill Card Type: Passive, Permanent

Skill School: Workmanship

Effect: The success rate of all active skills increases by ten percent.

Learning Requirement: Workmanship D

Remark: Mr. W. W. always tell us, even if you are creating ’ice’, out of respect to chemistry, even a fly is not allowed inside the lab.

———

"Isn’t this a reference to Walter White‽ What is this ice chemist nonsense? And what is the skill hinting at!"

As Feng Bujue complained about the skill remark, he wasted no time equipping the skill.
