Chapter 0394 – Nightmare Difficulty
The rewards of nightmare level daily quests were able to have an effect on Chen Ge himself, allowing him to gain some special abilities.
After the first three fixed nightmare quests were completed, he mastered the three skills of Mortuary Apparition, Yin Pupil, and Living Puppet.
Unfortunately, those three nightmare quests were equivalent to a novice tutorial, and after clearing them, the nightmare level daily quests changed to randomly refreshing.
Chen Ge would look at the daily quests every night, and it wasn’t until today that he finally met one.
”The black cell phone said that nightmare level quests are very rare and extremely difficult to encounter, so I can’t miss it this time.”
Standing in the middle of the corridor, Chen Ge looked at the blood-red mission message.
”Nightmare difficulty daily quest: they say that there is another you buried at the end of the tunnel.”
”Attention! Individual quests are extremely dangerous, please choose carefully!”
There was only a one-sentence prompt before the quest was accepted, and Chen Ge couldn’t figure out what it meant even after reading it a few times, “Tunnel? The first three nightmare quests were all conducted in haunted houses, why does this one feel like it’s going somewhere else?”
The three nightmare missions he completed at the very beginning were arranged by the black cell phone, and from this mission onwards, it was the real nightmare difficulty.
”I have Xu Yin and a lot of staff to help me out, so if the nightmare missions are the same difficulty as before, then I don’t have to worry at all.”
This was indeed the case in theory, but Chen Ge looked at the line of blood-red words underneath the nightmare mission and felt a little bit uneasy again.
When he had just gotten the black phone, those nightmare missions had nearly killed him, which was why he was extremely cautious at this time.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ge still chose to accept it, the rewards of the nightmare quest acted on his body, which was something that none of the other quests had.
Although ghosts and monsters were important, one should never neglect oneself, this point was clear in Chen Ge’s mind.
After choosing to accept the nightmare quest, the complete quest information popped up, and Chen Ge only read a few lines before his complexion began to change.
”Lucky Knightly Favored One, your luck is astonishing!”
”The name of the following game is called Tunnel, go through the tunnel and you can see the forgotten secrets of the heart.”
”Task requirements: at 2:44 a.m., enter a tunnel with a length of at least forty-four meters, take forty-four steps out, shout your name forty-four times, and the task will be completed after you have successfully shouted forty-four times.”
”Caveat 1: This mission is unique, and if not completed within the allotted time, this mission will never occur again.”
”Caution 2: From this moment of mission acceptance, you cannot leave with any ghosts or props within the Nightmare City, otherwise you will be unable to obtain the mission rewards!”
Chen Ge’s eyes focused on the last paragraph of the quest information, “Can’t carry ghosts and props? That’s something I need to think about.”
Without that last paragraph, this quest wasn’t too difficult for Chen Ge.
Mentally agonizing over whether or not to take the mission, Chen Ge didn’t pay too much attention to the black cell phone’s name for the House of Horrors, and after thinking for half a day, he finally wanted to give it a try.
”Opportunity and danger coexist, the rewards of the nightmare mission can change myself, with more and more ghosts and monsters that I come into contact with, my body temperature is dropping, that old granny in the Living Coffin Village had reminded me that perhaps I should pay more attention to my body as well.”
Nightmare quests were unattainable, and Chen Ge was unwilling to give them up.
”I can’t leave with any ghosts or props in the haunted house, so it looks like Xu Yin and Yan Dainian can’t be counted on.” Chen Ge thought about it, and only the white cat in the entire haunted house was outside of the rule requirements, “It feels like there’s not much use in bringing it with us, but at the very least it can be a companion.”
After choosing the white cat, Chen Ge looked back at his shadow again, “Zhang Ya is sleeping in my shadow, if the black cell phone counts her as well, I definitely won’t be able to complete this mission.”
Chen Ge wasn’t sure if Zhang Ya had been counted by the black cell phone, but it was precisely because Zhang Ya was sleeping in his shadow that he dared to accept the nightmare mission directly with impunity.
”Give it a try, the rewards of the nightmare quest are too important to me.”
Chen Ge took out his cell phone and started looking online for a nearby tunnel, the nightmare mission started at two forty-four, he had to find a tunnel that wasn’t too far away and met the requirements.
”There are many tunnels in Jiujiang, but there are too few that meet the requirements.”
After searching online for half a day, Chen Ge found a very strange thing, there was only one tunnel in the entire Jiujiang that met the requirements of the black cell phone, and that was the White Dragon Cave Tunnel located in the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang.
The other tunnels were either too far away to make it in time or not long enough.
”In the eastern suburb.” Chen Ge didn’t like the eastern suburb of Jiujiang too much because of some experiences he had as a child, and his parents used to strictly forbid him from going to the eastern suburb to play alone.
”White Dragon Cave Tunnel, sounds familiar, seems like it appeared in the news.” Chen Ge’s face didn’t look too good as he searched for Jiujiang White Dragon Cave on the internet, and dozens of pieces of information instantly appeared.
This tunnel was constructed fifteen years ago, and there have been constant accidents since it was built, and many of them have happened inexplicably.
More than one driver had said that when passing through at night, they saw a woman on the side of the road waving at them.
If they didn’t stop, the woman would chase after them on the side of the road. It felt like the woman wasn’t running fast, but she was getting closer and closer to them, and in the end the woman seemed to be sticking to the side of the car window.
If they had stopped the car, it was said that it would have ended even worse, the woman would have been sitting in the back of the car, and the car would have definitely gotten into an accident in the tunnel.
Beckoning woman is just one of the strange rumors in the tunnel, there are drivers driving found next to someone overtaking the car, catch up towards the side to see, just over the car seems to have no driver, out of the tunnel that the car has disappeared.
There were many similar incidents and accidents, and the tunnel was eventually closed five years ago.
Although the tunnel was closed, rumors about the tunnel spread in Jiujiang.
Some people passed by the tunnel at night and could hear cries for help coming from inside, while others saw a woman standing in the tunnel, constantly waving at the people outside, trying to get people to go in.
Chen Ge carefully read through all the information, whether it was the news, or made up weird stories, he scanned through it all.
”This place is a lot more dangerous than I thought!”
Holding his cell phone, Chen Ge was a bit hesitant.
The rewards of Nightmare Difficulty worked on himself, but correspondingly, this mission only allowed him to rely on his own strength to complete it.
”The black cell phone has always been fair, the payoff and the reward are the same.”
Very quickly, Chen Ge made a decision.
He picked up the white cat that was hiding under a pillow in the staff lounge and placed it on his shoulder, “I’ll take you to an exciting place to play tonight.”
