Chapter 252: Short Time Skip

It could be said that living with Han Yichen and the others were actually quite fun.

Huo Yingsu spent her day practicing for a few hours and then the rest of the time was used to gossip with Han Yijun. The young woman was also bored because she didn’t have anything else to do after the arrival of the apocalypse.

There’s no danger in this place either.

At the same time, she found out that most people have figured out a way to deal with the ghosts.

That was through using the torch.

Fire technically has strong Yang energy, which is also one of the reasons why Han Yichen chose to pick the fire element as his second element. So by gathering strong flames, it could drive the ghosts away.

This method would work if they were only facing the weak ghosts.

But facing a powerful ghost?

Uh...

It was not very effective.

So ordinary people were terrified of meeting a powerful ghost.

"Not all ghosts liked to absorb human’s essence," Lu Liang said with a scoff. "Aside from the ferocious and evil ghosts, only ghost king can absorb human essence without experiencing any backlash."

Huo Yingsu silently looked at Lu Liang.

This man is also a ghost king.

"I won’t absorb human’s essence if they’re not full of Yin energy!" Lu Liang protested.

He’s a picky per...ghost!

"What about that previous Sheng Bai?"

"She’s taking the balanced part and focused more on her other elements. To be honest, if it’s not because her Yin and Yang energy is stronger after she received the third blessings, I would not pay attention to her... in terms of Yin and Yang energy alone, she’s weaker than you," Lu Liang said bluntly.

But if one counted the element that Sheng Bai had obtained after the second blessings, then she’s stronger than Huo Yingsu.

"I see."

Huo Yingsu was not particularly surprised about this.

Anyway, she could only focus on practicing. With the original Huo Yingsu and Lu Liang recruiting hundreds of ghosts every single day to let Huo Yingsu absorb the Yin energy, her improvement was so fast that it was like riding a rocket.

The others were almost jealous when they saw this.

Ye Lin followed the balanced path, so it was absolutely impossible for him to absorb a large amount of Yin energy like Huo Yingsu. He could only cheekily came over whenever Huo Yingsu was absorbing the Yin energy to get a bit so that he could get stronger.

But just a bit.

Because if Ye Lin took too much, his cultivation of Yang energy would not be able to catch up.

After receiving her blessings, Yu Zhixue decided to follow the path that focused on Yin energy because her year was that of Yang element. In this way, Yu Zhixue was often staying with Huo Yingsu when she absorbed the Yin energy and also benefited greatly.

But since Yu Zhixue didn’t follow the path of contracting ghost, she couldn’t take as much as Huo Yingsu.

After all, if Huo Yingsu felt that the Yin energy was too much, she just needed to pass it to either the original Huo Yingsu or Lu Liang. These two ghosts would be happy to receive more Yin energy because it would also help them grow stronger.

And if they grew stronger, there would be feedback given to Huo Yingsu too.

As for Yu Zhihao?

He used the Star Fruit in order to receive his first blessings, so he would need to consume the Star Fruit again in the future for his improvement. His zodiac was rat and it was also Yang energy based on his year, so Yu Zhihao followed a path similar to Han Yichen.

The main difference is that in the future he could only choose between the element of water or earth.

But it was not important.

Because right now, Yu Zhihao was already so happy that he could start meditating and grow much stronger than before.

He believed that he would be able to survive in the Live Stream Horror Survival Game on his own!

And then Han Yichen himself was of Yang energy, so he definitely couldn’t follow Huo Yingsu around. The two ghosts were also unwilling to get close to Han Yichen since he’s basically a human furnace in their eyes.

If they got too close, they might end up being burned to death.

None of them wanted to experience it.

So they stayed as far away as possible from Han Yichen.

To be honest, Yu Zhixue originally considered going out to gather some supplies. But after Lu Liang said that most of the supplies have been eaten by the ghosts and that eating them would only hurt them... she chose not to.

The government had already known about the matter of the food being spoiled.

The problem is that most people couldn’t see the differences and this troubled them greatly. The areas that were close to the disaster was basically nothing but ruins. The people here needed to eat, but they didn’t dare to take the food.

So in the end, some people could only take the risk.

The number of players in their world was so small.

In fact, they already knew that the maximum limit of players in a world that the Live Stream Horror Survival Game allowed was only 1000.

But how many of them were still alive by now?

After the fifth month, there would no longer be any new players introduced into the game. Their number could only continue to dwindle as time passed.

Unfortunately, there was nothing that they could do.

Besides, areas outside of the ones affected by the earthquake still has normal order and only the existence of ghosts that made many people panicked.

But with the soldiers taking charge and so on, their situation was actually far better than their current areas.

It could only be said that Huo Yingsu and the players in the area were quite unlucky for being so close to the source.
