My Iyashikei Game

Chapter 275: 275

To identify the insect, Han Fei reached out his hand to touch it. The stomach of his finger was now black and, in a few seconds, he had lost sensation of his entire hand. Black shadow trailed under his skin, as they corrupted Han Fei’s flesh, they worked their way towards the man’s heart. Han Fei honestly felt no pain at all. His pain receptors were nullified as if it was not his body which was poisoned but his soul. Han Fei’s face paled as he took out Rest in Peace. Just as he considered chopping off his finger, the bug crawled over. It bit on Han Fei’s finger again and the soul poison was instantly sucked away. The spreading darkness was unwillingly dragged back into Big Sin.

“That is such a powerful toxin.” Han Fei didn’t dare to get any closer to the insect. Just a brush with it and he almost lost his life! “Notification for Player 0000! You’ve survived Big Sin’s soul poison! Curse resistance to poison-type objects increases by 1!”

The insect flitted happily inside the mass grave. Han Fei didn’t want to bring this time bomb with him but he didn’t dare to leave it behind at the pet shop either. The thing that worried him the most was the insect might see his departure as a sign of abandonment and came to take revenge. “Am I… supposed to take it as a pet too?” Even though Nine Lives was scary looking, at least it looked like a cat. Han Fei could persuade himself that it was just a strange kitten unique to the world of the dead. However, Big Sin looked 0 percent like a normal pet. It was tragedy incarnate. Han Fei already had Huang Yin, the ultimate bad luck charm as his best friend as well as Lee Zai and Lee Huo as his neighbours. With how things were progressing, Han Fei had a feeling he would eventually accumulate all the tragedies within the world around him. After a lot of back and forth in his head, with all his neighbours watching, Han Fei reached out again towards Big Sin with an expression akin to resignation towards death. He touched the insect’s head which had the least number of spines and activated Pet Training.

“Training failed! You’ve been poisoned, please seek immediate treatment!”

“Training failed!”

“Training failed!”

…

“Notification for Player 0000! You’ve successfully trained Grade G Cursed Organism—Big Sin.

“Big Sin (Grade G Cursed Organism): With your immense determination and contribution to its growth, you’ve gained Big Sin’s friendship!

“Loyalty: 50 (It trusts you slightly because you are the first person who is willing to come close to it)

“Hidden Talent 1: Soul Poison (The poison it carries can scorch one’s soul)

“Hidden Talent 2: Necrophagous (Blood and dead body can help it grow and heal at a faster rate)

“Hidden Talent 3: Natural Selection (Its favorite food is butterflies. All of its power will be doubled when used against butterfly-type curses or spirits.)

“Hidden Talent 4: Omen of Death (According to legend, it can see into one’s death, therefore it likes to stay with those who are about to die)”

Based on the introduction on Perfect Life’s official website, pets with hidden talents were incredibly rare. To have a pet with 1 hidden talent was already rare enough but Big Sin had 4 Hidden Talents at birth. Even though it was only a Grade G pet now, it had a higher starting point compared to the other pets. As Han Fei looked through the introduction, suddenly he didn’t find Big Sin that atrocious anymore, if anything, he saw some cuteness in the way it wiggled about. However, his expression froze again when he read Big Sin’s last talent. ‘It likes to stay with people who are going to die?’

Turning around to look at Big Sin who had stuck to his skin and remained as quiet as a stone, Han Fei’s feeling was complicated. Big Sin’s birth was purely accidental. The reason it liked Han Fei was probably because Han Fei was cursed by people from Ziggurat and his days were numbered. “Well, death is nothing scary. The appearance of this guy at least has provided me with an extra arsenal of weapons.” Han Fei was an optimistic person, if not, he wouldn’t have survived in the cryptic world. Just as Han Fei was contemplating how to bring Big Sin with him, the bug, who had its fill of fun and food, retracted all its spines and practically morphed into a black stone. Han Fei tried to pick it up and Big Sin felt cool to the touch. It would be perfect to use as a pillow in summer. After placing Big Sin inside the urn, Han Fei detached the pet store’s chains. He was not going to let anything go to waste.

“Player 0000, you’ve found Grade G Cursed Object—Red Pet Chain.

“Red Pet Chain: Most of the pets who once used this chain are dead. Their souls and fur are stuck on the chains and they whimper day and night.”

Perhaps because Nine Lives was now his pet, Han Fei didn’t feel any resistance when he picked up the chains and he very easily placed it inside his inventory. “Paper doll, pet chain, can of wishes… I have quite a bit of cursed objects but to survive at Ziggurat, these are not enough.” Grade G cursed items had limited uses. Han Fei wanted a Grade F Cursed item like the paper doll, even a broken Grade F Cursed item was stronger than a perfect Grade G Cursed item.

Using the map left behind by the previous manager, Han Fei started to strategize his plan. In his current area, the most dangerous building was the Ziggurat. If he had to delineate them by level, all the places he had visited were all Grade F and Ziggurat was Grade E. This didn’t mean that all the ghosts at the Ziggurat would be dangerous but there had to be at least one extremely dangerous and powerful ghost there. The ghosts at the cryptic world could be delineated into Animated Regrets, Lingering Spirits and Pure Hatred. So far Han Fei had not encountered any Pure Hatred, he had a feeling he would meet one at Ziggurat. “Before I enter the Ziggurat, I should explore as many nearby buildings as I can. If I can draw the dangerous ghosts to the Ziggurat, it’ll be best.” Han Fei thought to himself, “Speaking of which, I haven’t heard that song in a long time already. I wonder where is that Unmentionable now.”

Walking out from the pet store with Weep’s urn, Han Fei brought his neighbours to drop in on the other shops. After no mission could be triggered at Yi Ming Street, Han Fei returned to Yi Ming Convenience Store. Once he entered the store, Han Fei’s heart was gripped by chill. He summoned Drake and Weep before he walked towards the counter. With blood polluting the air around her, the 2 metres tall bride stood behind one of the shelves. She almost gave Han Fei a heart attack.

“It hasn’t reached our designated meeting time, has it?” Han Fei lifted his face to the woman and asked with confusion. Instead of answering, the bride dropped a set of clothes to the ground. Han Fei flipped through the clothes and realized it was a security guard outfit heavily stained with blood. The back of the shirt was sewn with the name of XX neighbourhood.

“One of the guards at Ziggurat has gone missing, you’ll come replace it in a few days.” The bride said chillingly.

“You wish for me to become the security guard at the Ziggurat?” Han Fei glanced at his business killer title and then nodded. “Okay, no problem.”

In response to Kiro’s suggestion: Thank you for the suggestion. I have hundreds of early access chapters on Patreon so if I change the name here, I’ll have to work on a lot of chapters because Big Sin gets featured quite often. Thank you. I will work on that when I have free time. Bear with me for now. Much apologies. Happy reading.
