Chapter 227: Good Person Card |
The [Toy Bear] was just an ordinary Toy Bear.
Although it was priced as high as twelve thousand in the simulator store, it was still just an ordinary Toy Bear.
—At least, that's what the item description said.
And at this moment, what could be more suitable for comforting a child than a Toy Bear?
Obviously, nothing.
Seeing the little girl Feifei smile and settle down to play with the Toy Bear, Guan Shan breathed a sigh of relief, his back drenched in cold sweat.
Fighting a dangerous battle with the Fishman BOSS did not bring as much pressure as facing this little girl.
Although the little girl had not shown any superhuman combat power and her appearance was not terrifying, Guan Shan's nerves remained tense. His intuition kept warning him: Danger! Danger! Danger!
It felt as if saying the wrong thing would result in instant death.
Finally, he was able to relax.
Guan Shan saw the little girl playing "Little Red Riding Hood and the Brave Big Bear" with the Toy Bear. He silently took two steps back and finished off the BOSS trying to crawl away.
"Swish!"
With a single strike, he gained the experience.

"No more concealment, huh?"
Guan Shan looked at the final prompt. Not only did the scene not use the urgent term "destruction," it even encouraged players to continue exploring.
The richness of the rewards for this breakthrough task also reached a new level, confirming Guan Shan's previous speculation.
After level 20, the experience gradient indeed turned into one hundred thousand per level!
"This is terrifying. If it's one million for level 30, then ten million for level 40?!"
Guan Shan took a sharp breath. With his current level, it was hard to imagine what kind of powerful monsters could reach such experience levels...
On the other hand, it also indicated the huge gap between each level of Espers.
Currently, Guan Shan could still defeat a level 29 monster at around level 20, but if he were level 30, challenging a level 31 monster might be extremely difficult...
Thinking about the A-rank "The Church of Unity" fanatic still eyeing him, Guan Shan suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
If that guy gave up trying to "convert" him and saw him as a threat, deciding to act directly, he might not be alive now.
Guan Shan sighed, glanced at the little girl named Feifei again, and noticed a nearby office-like place with the light still on behind a half-open door.
Guan Shan cautiously walked over, opened the door, and saw two corpses inside—normal human bodies, albeit decapitated and in a gruesome state.
Guan Shan squinted, then looked at the floor outside the office and the tiles inside; they were different.
Moreover, the office had a more technological feel, contrasting with the zoo facilities outside. Only the "Zoo Director" nameplate on the desk reminded visitors that they were still in the zoo.
Guan Shan made a bold guess: "Could this office be part of reality, only slightly altered by the simulator, hence the inconsistent style?"
"So, why is it like this?"
"Is it because the simulator... doesn't work around that little girl?"
Guan Shan looked outside, only to find the little girl had vanished.
"Hmm?"
Guan Shan was stunned. He ran out to check and noticed a butterfly hairpin on the ground. When he picked it up, his vision blurred.
In the next moment, he found himself back in his living room.
Guan Shan blinked, a notification about the hairpin's attributes appearing before him.
[A Hairpin]
[Effect: When HP is below 10, there is a chance to summon NPC [Little Girl]]
[Description: Big brother, you are a good person.]
What a sudden good person card!
Guan Shan silently put the hairpin away.
Judging by the little girl's attribute filled with question marks, she was at least level 30. This was a life-saving item. A good person card was a good person card.
"Another breakthrough task completed. I can now barely consider myself a beginner."
Guan Shan sprawled on the sofa, completely relaxed. Although his body had fully recovered with the upgrade, he still felt a long-lost sense of fatigue.
After spacing out for a while, he sat up again to check the rewards and the newly reopened store.
Among all the rewards, two seemingly meaningless items caught Guan Shan's attention first.
[Someone's ID Card] and [Confidential Document].
Guan Shan took the [Someone's ID Card] from his backpack and twirled it between his fingers.
The ID card was black and gold, with a black base and gold edges, made of high-quality material.
On the front of the card were the golden numbers "067," and nothing else.
[Someone's ID Card]
[Effect: Proves your identity as a member of a certain organization or allows access to certain restricted areas.]
[Description: An ID card issued by a certain organization, limited to 100 cards. It recognizes the card, not the person. Perhaps you can use it to your advantage.]
"Using it to my advantage..."
Guan Shan rubbed his chin, feeling the simulator was hinting at something.
"Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence that I encountered Feifei just when the Toy Bear was available in the store... Did the simulator predict this?"
But the simulator didn't specify which organization the ID card belonged to.
"Maybe the answer is in this document?"
Guan Shan tore the seal off the manila envelope and took out a thick document.
As he read through it, his expression grew increasingly serious. The document detailed an astonishing "Esper Gene" transport route!
