“Auntie, this is the kind man who sent you to the hospital. He even paid your bills.” The doctor liked Han Fei. After Han Fei won the award, he gained many new fans. He could be considered one of the most popular C-list actors.
“I’ve seen him.” Auntie Lee sat up in bed. She had so many questions for Han Fei.
“Of course you have. He is so popular now.” The doctor misunderstood the auntie. After giving Auntie Lee another check, he said Auntie could leave the hospital already. Auntie Lee wanted to get up after the doctor left, but Han Fei stopped her. “Auntie, you should stay in bed.” Han Fei walked to the bed and sat beside Auntie Lee’s son.
“Thank you for saving me.” Auntie Lee was so moved that she couldn’t form complete sentences. Han Fei could feel the appreciation from the woman. He smiled and said it was nothing. After some small talk, Han Fei cut straight to the point. He wished that Auntie Lee could log into the game that morning.
“You can bring me to see him? Am I not dreaming?” Auntie Lee was uncertain. She was worried that what she experienced was just a dream.
“It’s not a dream, but opening a hidden map requires many conditions. There will be more chances in the future.” Han Fei said, “When you get online, you should send me a friend request.”
“No problem.” Auntie Lee was excited to leave the hospital. She had her son deal with the forms. Auntie Lee arrived home at 9.30 am, and she logged into the game.
Han Fei called Huang Yin. “Brother Huang, I’ve found everyone and given you their in-game Id.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to join us? This is a historical moment.” Huang Yin sounded very excited. “The first player neighborhood. During this era where the virtual mixes with the real, we walk at the forefront.”
“I can’t log into the game.”
“It’s alright. I’ll stream it for you. You should be able to see it from your phone.” Huang Yin opened a livestream room for Han Fei. “The game will finish the update at noon. We’ll start at 10 am.” It was too late to go home, so Han Fei returned to the shop he visited last time. The waitresses were very polite. They treated Han Fei like the prime customer. Han Fei ordered a drink and took the same seat as last time. He clicked on the room and waited. At 10 am, the image came on. Huang Yin’s group appeared among a cluster of ruined buildings.
“Han Fei, can you see us? If yes, click like.” Huang Yin pointed at the space behind this. “This should be the spot that corresponds to Happiness Neighborhood on your side. I will make this my private map. Everything within 500 meters of this place will be mine. Other than the supercomputer, no one can enter without permission.”
The camera turned, and Huang Yin captured Bai Xian and Jin Jun. A celebrity and paparazzi met in the game, Han Fei thought it would be awkward, but the two kept staring at Huang Yin. Of the billions of players, the top 1 player stood before them. They couldn’t believe their eyes. When Han Fei said someone would contact them, they didn’t think much of it. But when they saw Huang Yin, they were stunned.
“Let’s go on a tour.” Huang Yin led the way and opened the rusted door of Building 1. The corridor was filled with scary items. It appeared like Huang Yin had collected everything related to the supernatural. Seeing these things, Bai Xian and Jin Jun stopped like they were reminded of something terrible. Seaglass Cat was impressed. She asked Huang Yin. “Is your profession a necromancer?”
“We are better than necromancers.” Huang Yin used ‘we’ to include all of them. “Currently, this neighborhood is at its lowest level, it has minimal functions, but if we work hard, this place will eventually become the biggest city in Perfect Life!”
Huang Yin had the confidence because their place had afterlife features that other sites didn’t. “I’ve prepared an altar inside the building. This unassuming old building will be the core of our city. As the founding members, feel free to pick your room.” Bai Xian and the others ‘happily’ chose their rooms. After everyone was done, Huang Yin led them to the roof. Standing on the 10th floor, they looked at the creepy buildings around them. Bai Xian and the rest didn’t understand why Huang Yin would choose this place because it had no resources and was far from the main city. There was no NPC around.
“I know you have questions about the location. I’ve taken a long time to find this place. This location is the ownerless map with the thickest Yin energy and the most haunted rumors. It is very far from the main city, so we have enough space to grow. Perhaps we might become the second main city.” Huang Yin knew how to use his advantages. Unlike the major forces, his most significant advantage was Han Fei. If they could summon the citizens of the cryptic world, they didn’t need to worry about the lack of people. It was okay if there was no player or NPC as long as there were enough ghosts. Huang Yin’s goal was to create a ghost town.
Bai Xian and Jin Jun still thought Huang Yin was extreme, but the thing Huang Yin said next impressed them greatly.
“Our goal is to become the first player neighborhood, but that doesn’t mean we’re surrendering the second place either.” Huang Yin stood at the roof and looked at the ruin. “I’ve already prepared everything to start a neighborhood, and I will use other identities to reach out to the other top gaming guilds in the country. We will fill the secondary neighborhood with our people, but they are only responsible for expansion and interaction with the other players and forces. What we need to do is to maintain the mystery of this neighborhood and absorb players who we can truly trust.”
It was hard to win without an army. Huang Yin’s advantages would lessen after level 50, so he had made plans. During CB, he had prepared everything required to make a neighborhood in Perfect Life, and he composed three copies. He used three different identities to trade with three separate forces, promising them the top neighborhood spot.
Only Huang Yin knew about the rewards from being at the top of the rankings. After the supercomputer took over the game, there was no more insider information. This meant that the decision-makers of the big forces had to rely on Huang Yin. They had to pay a lot to sign the contract with Huang Yin’s different identities. Huang Yin only told this plan to Han Fei.
At 10.30 am, Huang Yin led the four members to the room reserved for the building manager. There was an altar there. The five sat around the altar, and Huang Yin started the final verification. He took out an item and placed it on the altar. Then he put in the id of all five players.
When the verification was accepted, Huang Yin turned to look out the livestream. “Han Fei, we’re at the last step. Why don’t you give the neighborhood a name?”
“Me?” Han Fei looked at the old building and the familiar room on the livestream. He was reminded of his first visit to the cryptic world. “Everything started with Happiness Neighborhood. My life was changed then, and eventually, I changed your lives. We move together in the dark to find that impossible light. I sincerely hope that everyone can find true happiness.”
Han Fei keyed in the word Happiness Neighborhood in the chat window. He believed it matched the purpose of Perfect Life. It also carried his wish that all the tenants of Happiness Neighborhood would be happy.
Huang Yin and the rest agreed. When the name was keyed in, the system made a global announcement!
“Notification for all players! The first player neighborhood, Happiness Neighborhood, has been created!” The global announcement was repeated five times. It shocked all the top players. The 12-hour update was not yet over, but a player had already built a neighborhood.
The top players had paid enormous money and power to fight for the first player neighborhood. Some of them had prepared since OB, but they lost.
After getting the news, the sound of glass and table breaking came from many different top gaming companies. Some of them complained to Deep Space Tech. But this was just a tiny percentage of the player base. Most players were more curious about Happiness Neighborhood and how to join it.
This day was written into Perfect Life’s history, and every player memorized the nameHappiness Neighborhood.
This was a normal name, and the neighborhood had unknown members. No one even knew where Happiness Neighborhood was. Everything about this neighborhood was shrouded in mystery.
