The game becomes reality: Black Myth invades the real world.

Chapter 67 Bai Ruhua's Job Change Result

Currently, the number of players in Jiangcheng who have changed jobs has increased. The Spirit Investigation Bureau once conducted a survey and found that the job change time ranges from two to six hours.

Logically speaking, if Bai Ruhua were to change jobs, it certainly wouldn't take longer than this time. Moreover, she had informed Zhou Jianbang beforehand to prevent any intrusion incidents.

However, so far, there has been no news of Bai Ruhua successfully changing jobs, which may mean she has encountered some trouble.

Zhou Jianbang temporarily suppressed his desire to have Chen Fu write a guide and replied in the WeChat group.

"After Bai Ruhua finished speaking with me, I suggested that she transfer to the emergency protection center and have been keeping an eye on the area. So far, we haven't found any trace of an intrusion."

Zhou Jianbang is very comprehensive in his work. Whether dealing with Chen Fu or other team members, he can treat everyone equally.

Since Bai Ruhua said she wanted to change jobs, then based on previous experience, preventative measures should be implemented to avoid the intrusion incident affecting the general public. The reason we haven't paid much attention is because we haven't received any reports of intrusion incidents and assumed Bai Ruhua is still in the process of changing jobs.

After all, the Golden Jade Child is different from other professions, and cannot be deduced or speculated upon using conventional experience.

But now it seems that it has indeed been a long time, so when Chen Fu asked, Zhou Jianbang also began to have doubts.

Li Xintong: "I just sent her a message, but she hasn't replied yet. Should we go over and check on her?"

Chen Fu: "You guys continue the game. I'll go check on the situation and let you know if anything happens."

Everyone else was still trying to progress through the game as much as possible, hoping to obtain the rewards and benefits they deserved in the Wedding and Funeral City. Only Chen Fu was stuck in the mass grave, which was the most suitable place for him to go.

Zhou Jianbang: "Then I'll have Du Fanyu accompany you, so you'll have someone to help you if you encounter any problems."

Chen Fu: "Okay, I'll stay at school. Have him come over."

Half an hour later, a black Hongqi car stopped at the entrance of Jiangda University. Chen Fu opened the car door, squeezed the ghost groom into the back, and sat in the passenger seat.

"I just checked the situation at the emergency shelter, and nothing has happened. There shouldn't be any major problems."

As soon as he got in the car, Du Fanyu told him what he knew, then lightly pressed the accelerator, and the black Hongqi turned the corner and merged into the other traffic.

Chen Fu didn't say anything, and sent Bai Ruhua a few more messages, but she never replied.

Seeing this, Du Fanyu gradually increased his speed, and after getting onto the overpass, he sped towards Xiajiang District.

An hour later, the black and red flag arrived at the entrance of the emergency shelter.

The emergency shelter was established after Zhang Mingyuan completed his job change and encountered an intrusion incident. It is located in Xiajiang District of Jiangcheng, in a remote area that has not yet been developed and constructed, which can greatly reduce the harm caused by the intrusion incident.

The place where Bai Ruhua is located is a villa. Five years ago, an out-of-town developer originally wanted to rely on the surrounding environment to build this place into an affluent area, but because it was too far from the bustling area, and the subway, elevated road and light rail were not opened for a long time, the project could only end in failure.

The Bureau of Investigation chose this location because it is sparsely populated, which is why the emergency shelter was set up here. It would not attract too much attention, but it would also be able to effectively carry out response measures.

As soon as Chen Fu got out of the car, he saw the villa lights on and heard voices inside, shouting and yelling, creating a noisy atmosphere.

The job change should be done in a quiet environment, so why is it the other way around...? Chen Fu was puzzled. Before he could take a step forward, he saw the ghost groom float past.

In just two minutes, the ghost groom had found out the situation.

Upon returning, he told Chen Fu, "There are many thugs inside, all of them here to demand money from Bai Ruhua, and they're threatening not to leave until they get it today."

After a pause, the ghost groom continued, "The staff from the Department of Paranormal Investigation who were monitoring the villa said that this group of people appeared suddenly. They wanted to drive them away, but something felt off. Also, Bai Ruhua has been staying in her room on the second floor and hasn't come out. We can only continue to keep an eye on the situation inside."

After the incident at Blue Sky Amusement Park, the ghost groom has been following Chen Fu. He is also Du Fanyu's brother and usually stays by Du Fanyu's side. Chen Fu doesn't care about this, and he doesn't want a ghost to keep floating around him.

Now that the ghost groom has revealed what happened inside the villa, Chen Fu is in a dilemma.

The good news is that Bai Ruhua is alright, but the bad news is that this group of people are here to collect a debt and won't leave until they get the money. Their sudden appearance suggests that the intrusion was likely the cause.

Chen Fu felt that the handling of the situation by the Bureau of Spirits Investigation was not their fault. When ordinary people face an intrusion, all they can do is stay where they are and avoid being affected.

But Du Fanyu was unaware of all this. Upon hearing the laughter and chatter coming from inside the villa, he immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "What are these people doing? It's so noisy in there, and they say everything is normal!"

As he spoke, he lifted his leg to enter the villa.

Compared to others, Du Fanyu had more experience with player-related matters and deeply understood the importance of job changes. If something went wrong, it could very well lead to even bigger trouble.

However, before he could take more than a few steps, Du Fanyu was stopped by Chen Fu.

"Bai Ruhua's father is a gambler who owes a lot of money. They came to collect the debt, and their sudden appearance is a type of intrusion."

Chen Fu briefly explained the situation, saying that since the incident had already occurred, finding a solution was the most important thing.

Du Fanyu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how Chen Fu knew these things, but he could feel that the surrounding temperature was lower than usual, so he thought for a moment and then stopped talking.

He had experienced this situation many times since meeting Chen Fu. At first, he thought there was a ghost lurking around, trying to take advantage of him.

Later, he discovered that the "ghost" was very likely his relative, most likely his deceased brother, so he stopped worrying and gradually grew to like the eerie feeling.

"I'll go in and check the situation first. You go find the staff members who are guarding the area and find out about this group of people."

When Chen Fu revealed his plans, Du Fanyu objected.

"These kinds of people are tough to deal with. You're still a student, let me handle this."

Du Fanyu felt that Chen Fu might not be able to handle the debt collectors, so he wanted to take matters into his own hands.

"Don't forget, I'm also a player."

Chen Fu smiled, his implication clear: compared to Du Fanyu, he could resolve the trouble in other ways. Moreover, the way the intrusion occurred was far more bizarre than anything he had encountered before, so it was better for him to handle it.

After saying that, Chen Fu walked to the front of the villa and rang the doorbell.

The sounds inside the villa paused for a moment, and after half a minute, the door was opened by a young man with dyed blond hair and wearing a black suit.

"What are you doing?" The blond-haired man stared at Chen Fu, half of his body exposed, his expression unusually wary.

"Bai Ruhua's friend, came to see her." Chen Fu smiled, his eyes revealing the clarity and naivety of a college student.

But as he spoke, he glanced into the villa again, and noticed that besides the blond-haired man, there were five other people standing or sitting. On the coffee table were playing cards, peanut shells, and empty wine bottles, clearly treating the villa as their own home.

Monsters wouldn't act like that. He couldn't see anything wrong with them for the time being. These people should all be alive... Chen Fu abandoned his plan to hit them on the head with the frying pan and decided to have a chat first.

"Here comes to deliver money, huh?" The blond-haired man sneered, making way for Chen Fu to go inside, and said to the people inside, "Boss, the guy's here."

The middle-aged man, slumped on the sofa, turned his gaze to Chen Fu, toying with a deck of cards in his hand, and muttered, "How much money did you bring?"

He reeked of alcohol, his cheeks were flushed, he wore the same suit as the blond-haired man, his skin was dark, his features were ordinary, and he habitually stared straight at people when he spoke without moving an inch, which in some ways could indeed create an imposing presence.

If this had happened before he came across "Black Myth: The Book of Past Events," Chen Fu would definitely have felt uneasy under such a gaze.

However, he remained unmoved, instead meeting the middle-aged man's gaze without giving him the upper hand.

"Hey kid, the boss is asking you a question!" Upon seeing this, the blond-haired guy was the first to stand it up and raised his hand to slap Chen Fu.

With a wave of his palm, Huang Mao was confident he could hit his target, but the feeling of emptiness made him realize the reality. When he looked up again, Chen Fu had already walked up to his boss.

"I can give you the money anytime, but I need to see you first."

Chen Fu continued to look directly into the middle-aged man's eyes, then took out his phone and waved it in front of him, indicating that he would transfer the money as soon as he saw Bai Ruhua.

This was, of course, a lie, done simply to ascertain Bai Ruhua's safety.

The four silent men around him immediately surrounded him, making a move to snatch the phone and teach Chen Fu a lesson.

They wouldn't stand idly by while someone is so arrogant in front of them.

"Young man, we're not some kind of gangsters, just regular financial collection personnel."

The man, slumped in the sofa, raised his hand to stop his underlings, and continued talking with a chuckle.

"Her father owes a debt, and we are just here to negotiate on behalf of the creditors."

These days, debt collectors don't dare to be open about it, otherwise they might get sent to the police station.

Besides, although the middle-aged man saw that Chen Fu's phone was switched off, who can guarantee that the kid hadn't started recording before that?

If the recording is made and then handed over to the police department, they will also get into trouble.

"I'm negotiating with you. If you let me see the person, I'll give you the money."

Chen Fu shrugged and spread his hands, his tone sounding very relaxed.

"Young man, you may not know how much money her father owes." The middle-aged man remained unmoved, gradually coaxing Chen Fu into revealing the specific amount.

Only in this way can he guarantee that even if he is summoned by the police afterwards, he can prove that the money was given willingly by the other party.

Otherwise, if they don't even give a specific amount, and then later turn around and accuse them of extortion, no one can withstand that.

As long as the amount is confirmed, it means it's a voluntary donation, and it doesn't matter if the Public Security Bureau finds out.

In this respect, middle-aged men are quite shrewd.

"No matter how much money you owe, I can pay you." Chen Fu wasn't stupid; he had already sensed something was wrong from the middle-aged man's words.

The situation suddenly reached a stalemate.

Middle-aged men want to play it safe and avoid future trouble. Chen Fu simply said one thing: you must meet the person first.

After a moment, the middle-aged man conceded: "Your friend is on the second floor; you can go find her."

Chen Fu nodded, stepped onto the handrail staircase on the left side of the villa, and headed towards the second floor.

"Young man, I have a suggestion for you." The middle-aged man called out to Chen Fu's retreating figure, "We are a legitimate company and would never coerce anyone into doing something they don't want to do. I hope you can keep your promise after you've met with the person."

Chen Fu paused, said nothing, and continued walking uphill.

Bai Ruhua had already heard the noise and immediately led Chen Fu into the room after he went upstairs.

"Why are you here?" she asked with concern, her gaze constantly scanning Chen Fu, trying to find out if the boy was injured.

"If I don't come over, are you planning to shoulder everything by yourself?" Chen Fu jokingly said what was on his mind, his tone softening unconsciously.

"This is ultimately my own business, and I don't want to trouble you," Bai Ruhua replied softly, then asked, "Are you really going to give them the money?"

Chen Fu didn't answer, but instead brought up something else: "How's your job change going?"

This is far more important than paying off Bai Ruhua's gambling-addicted father's debts.

"That's great, I've successfully changed jobs," Bai Ruhua replied.

She then said that after the Golden Jade Child's job change, the job title did not change, but the skill that could upgrade companions was added.

Chen Fu asked how many skills she could upgrade now, and Bai Ruhua, without finding it suspicious, simply said that she could upgrade four.

In addition to experience points and paranormal events, there are also skills that improve physical fitness and increase the probability of obtaining items.

Chen Fu thought to himself that these two were alright. Although the changes in the game were not noticeable after improving physical fitness, they were still quite useful in reality.

Recently, when he goes to the toilet to pee, his water magic is stronger than that of his classmates. He can throw water from one toilet to another without stopping.

This brought Chen Fu a great reputation in the boys' dormitory. Many people knew that there was a formidable person in room 444 whose water magic was terrifyingly powerful.

In addition, having a good physical condition can be a significant advantage when facing paranormal events. Even if you can't win a fight, you can at least take a couple of hits and then run away.

The high probability of obtaining items provides a significant advantage, both in the game and in real life. You can prioritize using them yourself, and if you can't use them, you can sell them, so you won't lose money either way.

Having figured this out, Chen Fu couldn't help but clap his hands in approval. Then he saw Bai Ruhua looking at him with a half-smile.

Huh? This girl doesn't know my identity, does she? Is she deliberately using this to lure me? Hmm, it seems so. She said before that after I changed jobs, she would tell me something. Could this be it...? Chen Fu belatedly realized.

Before Bai Ruhua could speak, Chen Fu flicked the girl's forehead and then said something while she was looking at his aggrieved expression.
