Chapter 140: Water Ghosts

The four of them sat down around a campfire that they made just for fun.

Well, it was mainly because Ye Lin wanted to experience the feeling of camping in the wilderness.

...Albeit the so called wilderness was actually not very accurate since they were still within the village and not completely in the wild.

But for Ye Lin, the atmosphere is the most important thing.

And this also helped him to get more survival points, so the others tacitly agreed with his whim and antics.

"Let’s go." Han Yichen saw that they have already finished eating and stood up.

"Do we really not need to give him any food?" Huo Yingsu pointed at Duan Wang who was lying on the ground and looked in their direction with longing. It was obvious that he was also hungry and hoped that they would be kind enough to share some food with him.

"No need."

Duan Wang: "..." you cruel b*stards!

He was furious!

Even though Duan Wang is just an NPC made by the Live Stream Horror Survival Game, he fully stimulated a real human who had desires and needs. Unfortunately, Han Yichen and the others didn’t care about him.

It was just skipping one meal, not a big deal at all.

The four of them pushed the boat and the kayak boat to the river carefully, making sure that they were pushing and not stay too close to the river.

"Do you find any ghost, Ye Lin?" Han Yichen turned to look at his friend.

Ye Lin shook his head calmly and said, "There’s no ghosts nearby far, but I’m not completely sure since the entire river seems to be stained with ghost energy."

He couldn’t see very clearly in this situation, which is why Ye Lin was not sure about the water ghosts. But he was not that afraid of the ghosts because he believed that his friend would be able to solve it.

Besides...

They were not necessarily weak.

"Ok."

Splash!

"No, I don’t want to enter the river! I’ll definitely die!" Duan Wang resisted strongly only to be hoisted easily by Yu Zhihao who threw Duan Wang like a dumpling on the boat.

Huo Yingsu looked at this scene speechlessly.

It seemed that even if Yu Zhihao didn’t have any ability, the ability points that he received from completing a few Live Stream Horror Survival Games were more than enough to increase his strength rapidly.

She clearly saw that Yu Zhihao carried Duan Wang with only one arm.

’...Can I really become that strong if I reach 100 in ability points?’ Huo Yingsu was somewhat doubtful.

After all, the distribution of the ability points itself might be affected by their own original stats.

Considering Huo Yingsu’s original stats...

She was actually very doubtful that she would be able to increase her physical strength that much.

Especially since her early stats were a bit...

*cough*

Splash! Splash!

The one rowing the boat was Yu Zhihao while Ye Lin was looking around. On the kayak boat beside them, Han Yichen was also looking around.

"Where’s the location where you find the ancient coins?" Yu Zhihao asked while rowing the boat.

On the boat, Duan Wang continued to lie down, pretending that he was dead.

He was trembling so badly, terrified that he was brought into this boat by these four people. But more than anything, Duan Wang was afraid that he would accidentally fell down.

So he could only stay quiet.

"Hmm? You don’t want to answer?" Yu Zhihao frowned. "How about if we use him as the bait for the water ghosts? Ye Lin, bring a long pole and then tied Duan Wang..."

"I’ll say! I’ll say! You’re all crazy!" Duan Wang was trembling so badly. He felt as if he was facing the demon king instead of four players of the Live Stream Horror Survival Game. Not that he knew about the game in the first place, but it didn’t stop him from fearing the four people who came to find him.

"Thank you for your compliment." Yu Zhihao smiled brightly, his eyes were looking at Duan Wang with clear interest.

Huo YIngsu: "..."

She silently glanced at their mission panel.

...

[Third Puzzle (Normal Level): River Ghost

In the village, there’s a ghost in the river and every villagers are afraid of coming close to it. They tried to make prayers around the river but the effect so far was negligible. Whoever can solve the river curse will receive their thanks.

According to the legends, the river ghost started after the death of Duan Wang’s best friend in the river. Duan Wang has been trapped on the other side of the river ever since then, hoping to cross the river but unable to do so.

Solve the mystery of the river ghost!

Note 1: NPC Duan Wang is the key to solve the river ghost, but you have to make use of him well or you will lose him and possibly fail this challenge dungeon

Note 2: This is a group puzzle game, the players can team up with each other to solve the puzzle]

Pass Requirement: Let Duan Wang pass the river alive

Reward: Puzzle Dungeon’s Completion, Ability Points + 1, Return Teleportation Open]

...

To be honest, Duan Wang’s life is precious.

At the very least, the four of them couldn’t possibly let Duan Wang died while they still have to uncover the secret of the river ghost.

This was practically the only way possible for them to pass this Live Stream Horror Survival Game’s puzzle dungeon.

But none of them said this to Duan Wang.

Because they knew that if Duan Wang knew that they had no plan to let him die and even had to protect him, the initiative would be placed on Duan Wang’s hand instead of them.

Being so passive...

None of them liked that feeling.

’I should be glad that the native in the puzzle game can’t see the live broadcast of the Live Stream Horror Survival Game.’
