NOVEL WEB Chapter 217
After Wu Wen returned to the small compartment he hadn't seen for four days, his heart was completely calmed down.
Maybe it was a conditioned reflex. Every time he returned to this compartment after a mission, he felt very relieved.
The small room was dark and closed. There was no wind, no idle people, and even the sound of the city felt alienated because it was too far away. Wu Wen liked these environmental atmospheres that were close to loneliness very much.
He lay lazily on the bed, his mind was quiet, and the whole person was quiet, leaving only the shallow breathing sound.
Although there was no need to breathe now, Wu Wen still liked the feeling of air flowing through his lungs, which would make him feel a sense of existence.
A sense of existence as a human being.
Wu Wen just lay there quietly, feeling his heart that no longer beats, feeling his bed that is no longer warm, and suddenly a feeling of fear arises.
In fact, he has been afraid for the past month. At first, he was afraid of ghosts and afraid that his life would be in danger. Later, he finally stopped being afraid of ghosts, but he began to be afraid that he would become a ghost.
Because this undoubtedly made him drift away from his family.
The protagonists of many novels are orphans, because their parents are completely burdens in the books, unable to make progress together, and can only drag the protagonists down.
But Wu Wen is not an orphan, and he does not feel that his parents are burdens. In his opinion, what he pursues in this life is not the so-called billions of wealth, not the so-called transcendence of ordinary people, but what everyone has, but does not know how much to cherish: feelings.
Wu Wen is a person who attaches great importance to feelings, and as early as high school, he set his life pursuit, which is to pursue feelings, at least to ensure that he will not cry bitterly when he thinks of his relatives when he dies in the future.
Therefore, when his body became less and less human with the various rewards, he did not feel happy in his heart, but instead had all kinds of worries.
Because he had begun to be more and more distant from his family, he even had a premonition that if he continued to do these tasks, he and his family would eventually become people from two completely different worlds.
This was obviously very inconsistent with his thoughts, just like eternal life is not a blessing, but a curse. After all, only the knife of love hurts people the most.
And Wu Wen happened to be the person who valued feelings the most.
Wu Wen lay on the bed and kept thinking about it. He even thought that he could only stand in another world and miss his parents through the mirror ghost in the future. He couldn't help but feel sad from his heart and opened his mouth to sob.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the whole person suddenly reacted.
"Fuck! What am I doing? Am I autistic?" Wu Wen slapped himself in the face and woke himself up fiercely.
"No, why am I not looking at the rewards after the mission?" Wu Wen recalled his fantasy in disbelief, feeling that he was really a little mentally unstable.
He sat up, then leaned on the pillow and took out his mobile phone.
At the moment, the most important thing must be to watch the mission rewards, and the things that come later will be discussed later. He believes in the principle that the bridge will naturally straighten to the bow of the boat, and he doesn't like to worry about things that haven't happened.
As Wu Wen's finger clicked on the game interface, a familiar voice appeared.
"You're back..." A sinister voice sounded in the phone, and a familiar screen appeared on the phone screen.
The embroidery in Hong Yuan's hand, who was sitting behind the screen, seemed to be almost finished, because there were not many threads left on the table next to her.
As if she had noticed Wu Wen's gaze, the figure behind the screen twisted and stretched her neck, and then a cartoon face slowly moved to the side of the screen and looked out.
Wu Wen and Hong Yuan looked at each other, and a gentle smile appeared on their faces.
You know what, in fact, Hong Yuan Renpi and the others are now actually his family.
Hong Yuan stared at Wu Wen's smiling face, then shrank back and continued to embroider what she had in her hands.
Wu Wen immediately opened the task interface.
As expected, the task was completed when Wu Wen got the ghost story book, and compared to the previous task settlement interface with only evaluation and rewards, this task settlement interface seemed to have more explanations.
"Weekly tasks:
Ghost City.

Mission Requirements: In the comment area of your BB account video, a netizen named ‘Little Pants’ posted a comment about his experience. Please contact this netizen and solve his personal life problems, while exploring the theme of the Ghost City.
Overall Mission Rating: S (I didn’t expect you to analyze it! Very good, sometimes using your own thinking reasonably is also a powerful performance. As for solving the personal life problems of netizens, although they are all dead, the problems are solved, right?)
Mission Completion Reward:
1,250 Ghost Coins.
2. Ghost Book: This is a very strange book, because there seems to be a ghost in it? (Ghost Book, a book dedicated to urban ghost stories. Urban ghost stories cannot be killed because of their special nature, but you can also try to contain them, right?)

Title Characteristics: All ghosts with heads will feel a sense of fear when facing you. (Only effective against ghosts below the level of evil ghosts, and only effective against hostile ghosts.)
Overall analysis of the task: This task introduces a new type of ghost: Urban Tales.
Urban Tales: (Every city has its own horror rumors, which become the topic of conversation before and after meals. But no one knows that as long as one person has not forgotten it, it will exist forever.)
This task was influenced by the ghost book, and a total of eight urban stories were born. Four have been solved so far, and the remaining four will be merged into daily tasks and officially advanced to urban stories!
Urban Tales 1: Midnight Subway.
Task Difficulty: ★★★★☆
Task Evaluation: Every day at midnight, there is always the last subway on Line 1. After Yao Yuan and others’ description and your own thinking, this subway has successfully undergone a qualitative change and advanced to an urban story! Go and have a look. Don’t you want to know where this subway will go in the end?
Urban Tales 2: Unhappy Couple.
Task Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆
Task Evaluation: People have their own thoughts, animals have their own thoughts, so will other things have their own thoughts? For example, puppets that look similar to humans?

(I feel that a good protagonist is one with flesh and blood, and a good book, not a scum who can abandon this and that, nor a perverted murderer who kills this and that. I am not a scum, and my protagonist is not a scum either. He will also have his own feelings, life and pursuits. He is not a book character without any feelings)
