Chapter 52: This Game Supports AFK!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


Ling PingAn noticed that his body was flying higher and higher.


Soon, he left Earth’s atmosphere and entered outer space.


At this moment, a message box popped up in front of him.


Lines of words became visible in the box: You have finished your exploration of the Nightmare World of Plague.


Your performance evaluation: Champion!


You destroyed this nightmare of a world on your own.


You put an end to a sinister conspiracy on your own.


You saved the entire world.


A series of scenes started to flash before his eyes.


He saw the moments when he’d first entered the forest, when he was in Nan’an Village, and when he’d eventually shattered the giant Princess Mauradon with one blow.


This flashback ended on the frame in which he stood in the rain of flesh and blood coming from Princess Mauradon.


New messages rolled on the screen:


You have received 30,000 Point Certificates of Nightmare. (Base reward: 10,000 points + Champion reward: 10,000 points + Nightmare Destruction reward: 5,000 points + Savior reward: 5,000 points)


You have earned three Discretionary Gold Attribute Points. Please distribute them at your discretion.


You have gained one entry ticket to the Golden Nightmare Lottery.


You can use the lottery ticket when you log into the game next time.


Notes: The plot of Alucard, the Blood River Overlord, was ruined because of you.


You killed Mauradon, the Princess Pestilence.


As a result, Alucard, the Blood River Overlord, considers you as his archenemy.


As a result, Duke Ivy of Hell considers you as his archenemy.


Ling PingAn shrugged his shoulders while reading these messages. He cracked a smile and said to himself, “Interesting! Interesting!”


The NPCs in this game held grudges against players?


That was a brilliant design!


Ling PingAn clicked on his Skill Bar and checked out the four skills that had all been activated. He chuckled and said to himself, “I’m looking forward to seeing how capable you are if you dare to bear a grudge against me.


“Two NPCs. Such puny creatures!


“You’re designed to be my treasure boxes!”


All four skills in his Skill Bar were lit up.


The first skill was Almighty Dragon of Heaven, the second one was Buddhist Hymn, the third one was Venerable Ksitigarbha of Hell, and the ultimate skill was Supreme Wisdom of All Buddhas.


It almost seemed too good to be true when the four skills were used together.


Ling PingAn could feel the excitement surging in his heart when he read the descriptions of the four skills. He was itching to play a few more rounds in other Instance Zones and earn more Point Certificates, so he could raise the level of the four skills. For that reason, he asked the system, “How do I start a new game?”


He received this answer: Sorry, dear player. The server of Legend of Nightmare hasn’t finished testing and debugging.


Therefore, we only allow one exploration of the game per week at this time.


However, you can choose to pay 30,000 Point Certificates of Nightmare and activate the Away from Keyboard (AFK) function for your character.


Your character will explore the world freely and continue to play according to your settings when you’re away from the keyboard.


You will receive all the proceeds gained during the AFK period when you log into the game again.


Ling PingAn frowned in concentration.


“I can only play once a week?” He complained to no one in particular, “No wonder your game is not a hit.”


Nevertheless, he still decided to activate the AFK function.


Thus he spent the 30,000 Point Certificates that he’d just earned on the AFK function.


Soon after, a new box popped up before his eyes.


The box was full of options.


Dear player, your character is considered by the system as a law and order role based on your choices and behaviors in the last Nightmare World.


You can choose the logic and code of conduct for your character during the AFK period.


Ling PingAn grinned after reading this message.


“It works this way?” He said to himself, “It looks as if the artificial intelligence technology of the Federal Empire is truly advanced.”


Then he focused on answering questions and checking boxes in order to delineate his character.



Chu Weiwei opened her eyes.


She discovered that she was lying on the bed in the dorm that had been assigned to her by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Beizhou Kingdom.


She got up, put on her slippers, walked to the window, and opened the curtains.


The dazzling night view of Xin’an burst into her sight.


Neon lights flashed all across the city. Countless cars flowed in streams in the streets.


Chu Weiwei also saw several young people laughing and frolicking on a street corner in the distance.


She exhaled, sighing, and took out the jade casket she’d gotten from the Realm of Nightmare.


It was a storage casket that she’d bought in the Realm of Nightmare with 1,000 Point Certificates of Nightmare.


According to the instructions that came with it, anything inside of the casket would be completely protected from the outside world.


Right now, it was holding the Corpse Remnant of the Plague Embryo she’d obtained in the Realm of Nightmare.


She carefully opened the jade casket.


Chu Weiwei saw a disgusting lump of flesh.


All sorts of strangely shaped bumps were growing on the flesh.


Even though Chu Weiwei had only opened the jade casket a tiny crack, an awful stench permeated the air.


Chu Weiwei only took a quick glimpse before shutting the jade casket swiftly.


“It looks just like what I imagined…” She whispered to herself, “This thing immediately changed its appearance when it came to the real world.”


The Corpse Remnant of the Plague Embryo had been only a chunk of colorless flesh in the Realm of Nightmare.


But now it had immediately transformed into this stomach-turning thing after it was brought back to the real world.


“I must follow the instructions and take it to the volcano to destroy it as soon as possible.”


In order to take the Corpse Remnant of the Plague Embryo out of the Realm of Nightmare, Chu Weiwei had spent almost all of the tips that she had gained from selling her equipment.


She had had to sell several pieces of Silver-grade equipment to scratch up enough Point Certificates of Nightmare.


Thank goodness she’d obtained the Nightmare Milestone: Coattail Rider.


Otherwise, she would never have had enough funds.


Because Chu Weiwei had had to spend 30,000 Point Certificates of Nightmare to buy the Corpse Remnant of the Plague Embryo from the Realm of Nightmare.


She’d also needed to pay a surcharge in order to take it out to the real world, which brought the total price to 50,000 Point Certificates of Nightmare.


Chu Weiwei couldn’t afford that no matter how hard she tried.


Nevertheless, she’d received a message from the Realm of Nightmare just when she was feeling most downhearted: Because you achieved the Silver-grade Nightmare Milestone: Coattail Rider, you will be ranked higher than a commoner in any Nightmare World.


As a result, you can get a random identity and the matching discount every time you trade with the Realm of Nightmare.


Chu Weiwei took a chance and drew a ticket.


Much to her surprise, she’d been exceptionally lucky to get the identity of the Princess Nightmare and a 70 percent discount (one time only).


With the help of the discount, she’d finally scraped up enough Point Certificates and took the Corpse Remnant of the Plague Embryo out of the Realm of Nightmare.


“I was still relying on the monk in the end…” Chu Weiwei sighed. “From start to finish, I’ve always been a freeloader…”


In spite of feeling sorry for herself, Chu Weiwei didn’t forget she needed to take action.


She took out her phone and dialed a number, then she gave an order to the person on the other end of the phone, “Prepare a helicopter right away!”


Her innocent, timid face instantly turned stern and serious when she was on the phone.


“Just do it!” She didn’t leave any room for bargaining, and she hung up the phone.


The Chu family from Qingcheng Mountain had accumulated an unimaginable amount of wealth and resources during the past 300 years!
