Synopsis:

The journey of humanity conquering diseases and seeking longer lives has never ceased.

Thirty years ago, a laboratory accidentally leaked waste gas and wastewater, leading to a global epidemic. Anyone contaminated would transform into monsters.

At a critical moment, a mysterious hospital extended a helping hand. The hospital believed that to completely save those who transformed, it was necessary to change the affected brain. They were currently working on this technology.

During this period, to minimize casualties, this hospital, believing that the world needed purification, proposed the concept of resolving everything from the source.

Want to avoid contamination? Then you must possess a beautiful soul and use purity to combat filth.

What qualifies as a beautiful soul? Some say the eyes are the windows to the soul, so having beautiful eyes is a must. Others say appearance reflects the person, so having a perfect appearance is crucial. If one lacks these, it’s alright as Big Factory can produce it. The professionally certified Beautiful Soul Elixir can purify your soul!

Remember, always ensure your soul’s purity level meet the standard, or else terrible things will happen!

Character Identity: Your name is Aaron. Not long ago, you had just finished arguing with the director and are currently on strike. To make a living, you have to wander around looking for work. Half a month ago, during a voyage, the ship you were on encountered a storm in the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. When you woke up, you found yourself in a strange country.

To avoid starving, you continue to seek employment. Today, you are preparing to apply for a job at a factory that produces Beautiful Soul Elixir.

Pay attention, your application later is crucial, so present yourself in the best condition to impress the interviewer.

Friendly reminder: Honesty is essential, but appropriate communication skills are also important.】

【Furthermore, because you possess the World Shard, you have an innate advantage in this instance.】

When Wen Shi opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dim and bumpy environment, as if he were in a moving vehicle.

“The bus broke down! We’re not far from our destination anyway, just walk there!” The driver opened the door and grumbled, “Why are the lights in the tunnel also not working?”

The driver’s temper was very irritable, scolding everyone from their mothers to their ancestors. Wen Shi sat quietly in his seat, not daring to make any sound.

He was sitting alone in a single seat and had no idea if there were others on the bus. Besides the driver’s cursing, the bus was quiet.

“Headache! Damn! What’s happening today?” The driver desperately pounded his own head.

Bang, bang, bang.

The same tapping sound came from beside him, and Wen Shi instinctively sat up straight. He heard someone fiercely knocking on the windows from outside, but the frequency of the tapping didn’t sound like a normal person.

“Oh no!” Wen Shi remembered that the driver had just opened the bus door.

Before he could remind the driver, he could clearly hear something running into the bus, and it wasn’t just one.

“Ah! What the f—ck, get away!” The driver’s terrified cry seemed to realize something. “No, no, no, I have used a Beautiful Soul Elixir just yesterday, my soul is still p-pure…”

He didn’t finish the last words and was suddenly thrown down onto the seat.

Distorted and bizarre creatures pierced the skin with sharp teeth. The driver desperately waved his arms to fend them off, but it was in vain. Wen Shi keenly smelled the scent of blood and heard the sound of chewing, like wild beasts feasting on prey.

Wen Shi had witnessed animals feasting on corpses before.

It was two years ago when he was volunteering and noticed something off about the mutual aid association. After conducting a private investigation, Wen Shi discovered that the association secretly brainwashed members who had suffered severe mental trauma and made them donate their assets. For members who wanted to leave midway, the association employed a series of brutal methods, even resorting to murder.

When the police arrived, Wen Shi, as the person who reported the case, followed them into the sewer and discovered the victim’s body torn apart by rats.

The deceased was nearly gnawed to a bloody skeleton. The rats were persistently nibbling the last shreds of flesh from the bones.

The noises were strikingly similar to the commotion coming from the front seat.

The tunnel was equally unsafe, with the sounds of knocking on the windows becoming more intense. The agonizing cries from the driver’s seat gradually weakened, and the banging sound echoed louder in the tunnel.

Before Wen Shi lay two choices: get off the bus or continue sitting in the seat.

The smell of blood from the front had already reached the back seat. Wen Shi gently rubbed his fingertips, recalling the driver’s dying words about using Beautiful Soul Elixir and emphasizing the purity of his soul. Considering the world’s context, having a pure soul was crucial for survival. The driver faced monster attacks because he was considered ‘impure,’ but this passenger might meet the ‘standard.’ Otherwise, during the darkness, the monsters wouldn’t have needed to stay dormant. They attacked the driver without any hesitation.

Wen Shi leaned toward the possibility of others still being in the bus. It seemed wasteful for a bus to carry just one person.

If that were the case, everyone’s thoughts would probably be similar, all choosing to remain still for the time being.

Another thirty seconds passed.

The driver’s noises completely ceased, and the monsters tapping on the windows finally quieted down.

In the darkness, someone got off the bus.

Wen Shi also started to feel uneasy and stood up, groping for the armrest in the darkness. As a result, he touched a real hand, startling both sides, but they managed to stifle their screams immediately.

There was sweat, warmth, and the hand belonged to a human.

Now he could confirm that he was not the only one on the bus.

The air circulation gradually became somewhat restricted, and figures began to approach from all sides. Soon, people stood in front, behind, and on both sides of Wen Shi. They seemed to have gathered around the back door, possibly because they were worried that the monsters might come through the front door, where they had attacked the driver.

Getting off the bus was a slow process. The passengers at the front carefully took each step, guarding against potential attacks from the outside monsters. Nobody dared to use any illumination devices, including Wen Shi, afraid of becoming a living target in the darkness.

The back of bus began to stir subtly.

Normally, it would take just a few seconds to walk from the front to the back of a bus. However, after the monsters attacked the driver, they didn’t immediately get off the bus. Instead, they fell silent. This was the most terrifying part. No player could be sure if the people standing beside them were humans or monsters.

Wen Shi tried to listen for the breathing of those around him but heard some discordant rustling sounds instead.

A sudden rush of air came from the front, and he hadn’t taken many steps. He immediately retreated, hugging the edge of the seat. In front of him, a dark figure pounced past, the swift wind brushing his cheek. Wen Shi faintly caught the figure muttering the word “hungry.”

“Hungry, so hungry…”

Soon, he realized it wasn’t an auditory illusion.

Wen Shi’s quick evasion prevented the figure from successfully attacking its desired prey. The shadow then randomly chose the next target to strike.

The bus descended into complete chaos.

“We’re done for! I’m not even an elite player. Why is this an A+ level instance? What sins have I committed…” In the midst of the disorder, the brief order that was established earlier was broken, and everyone started panicking.

Due to the other person’s high nervousness, they continuously muttered while tightly holding onto their items.

Following the principle of doing good deeds every day, Wen Shi knew that the most important thing was for this person to stop trembling. No matter what was attacking them, it would likely prioritize targeting the most vulnerable-looking individuals. Since they were standing so close, Wen Shi didn’t want to be dragged into trouble.

“Stop screaming, there’s a newbie here.”

That sentence successfully silenced the person, who finally managed to speak after a while, “Are you kidding me?”

Wen Shi couldn’t be bothered to respond and instead sought support from someone reliable, “Dad, Golden Dad, where are you?”

[T/N: the literal translation is “sponsor dad” but in some context, it refers to a sugar daddy…]

After spending so many points, he couldn’t just allow himself to fend for himself. If he could rely on the other person’s free labor, he would be able to easily walk out of the tunnel.

“Daddy, Daddy, I’m here—”

“……” The player who was initially scared next to Wen Shi twitched his mouth.

Now, he believed that this was indeed a newbie. Just look, even calling for his father had driven him to hysteria.

Due to past experiences, Wen Shi has become distrustful of others. He now believes that the only person he can trust in this world is himself. **** Wen Shi unexpectedly got pulled into an infinite game. 【Congratulations to the player for awakening the ‘I Am Who I Am’ skill.” I Am Who I Am: Spend one hundred points to summon another ‘me’ from a parallel world once.】 Wen Shi replied indifferently, “Summoning someone to their death?” Until—— On the night of the horror castle, the castle owner insisted on finding the most perfect bride, eliminating one player every night until then. The once unremarkable story took a drastic turn when Wen Shi summoned a girl with a long sword. The girl affectionately called Wen Shi “Little Brother” while holding the sword’s tip to the castle owner’s forehead. On that day, the castle owner became completely terrified of marriage. In the bloody dormitory, Wen Shi accidentally summoned a sickly heartthrob. The sickly heartthrob knocked on every door with a smile at the indescribable residents. “Would you take care of me?” On the night of Ghost Festival, when the gates of the netherworld were opened and the night was filled with spirits, Wen Shi and the summoned zombie stared at each other. Wen Shi: “Come, follow my lead. The night of the hundred ghosts is dangerous. We should be cautious.” Zombie: “H-hundred households’ meals smell delicious.” Wen Shi: “Survive!” Angry Zombie: “H-hungry, f-food, not picky!” **** No friends? We can be your friends. No family? We can be your family. Wen Shi rediscovered the warmth of humanity and met a romantic love. After dating for a while, Wen Shi shyly said, “My family would like to meet you.” The fierce antisocial Boss at level ten asked, “How many?” “Just a few.”
