Chapter 6: Do not Compromise your Integrity for Small Profits

âWhat?!â Song Qingfeng was dumbfounded; he was just focused on playing and was cooking up a big plan in his head, but his playtime was up?
How long had he been playing? He felt like he had just started!
âHey, thereâs a playtime limit?â
âItâs all written on the blackboard by the door. Each person can play for six hours a day at most.â
âSix hours?â He looked to his left and right and said, âHow has it been six hours already? I didnât even kill that many monstersâŠâ
He spent a lot of time fighting off the zombies and zombie dogs since he didnât want them to touch him. Therefore, time passed by really quickly without much progress.
âNoooooooooooooooooooo!â Song Qingfeng immediately shouted, âWhat kind of rule is that? I have money, why canât I play?â
âRules are rules.â
ââŠâ
What kind of business is the owner running? Why would any owner kick out a paying customer?
He was enjoying the game so much just now. It was like he was a woman who was about to go to heaven when the man suddenly pulled up his pants and jumped out the window; that was how frustrated he felt.
He clenched his teeth and pointed out two fingers before saying, âIâll double the money, what do you think?â
However, Fang Qi didnât even look up.
âIâll give you five times the money!â Song Qingfeng pointed out all five of his fingers on his hand.
âFiveâŠâ Fang Qiâs eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Before he got the system, he had less than one crystalâs worth of wealth combined! He had never even seen that much money before!
Therefore, he immediately asked the system, âCan we bend the rules a little? Heâs willing to pay ten crystals an hour!â
âNo!â The system immediately turned down Fang Qiâs suggestion. âAs the host of this system, you cannot compromise your integrity for small profits!â
Reluctant to refuse, he looked at the ten crystals in Song Qingfengâs hand and asked again, âI really canât?â
The system didnât even respond this time.
âF*ck!â Fang Qi gritted his teeth and rejected Song Qingfengâs offer.
At this point, Wang Tai had been playing for a long time as well. He looked at the young man nervously and said to Fang Qi, âQi, it seems like this person is from a prestigious family. Canât you bend the rules for him?â
Fang Qi immediately shook his head.
âYoung Master!â The gray-clothed man sneered and said, âThis person obviously wants to do things the hard way. Do you want me toâŠâ
âWho do you think you are! Back off!â Song Qingfeng glared at this man before turning his attention back to Fang Qi.
Fang Qi couldnât do anything, so his eyes wavered towards the little blackboard by the door.
On it wrote: [Donât cause trouble and donât curse at the owner. Those who do not abide by these rules will be kicked out forever.]
Song Qingfeng followed Fang Qiâs gaze and saw these sentences, and his somewhat-handsome face immediately became grim.
âYoung Master, are we leaving⊠just like that?â Before the man in grey even finished his sentence, Song Qingfeng had opened the door and left.
After exiting, the young man lowered his voice and said, âFind out who the owner is and where he came from.â
âI will!â
Upon seeing them leave, Wang Tai grinned and said, âQi⊠Iâm taking my exam tomorrow, but I have no idea whether Iâll pass. Do you think I canâŠâ
Wow, this dude even knows how to play the victim to get othersâ sympathy
, Fang Qi thought.
âYouâve played for so long! If you canât even pass tomorrow, will you still have the face to become a warrior in the future?â
Wang Tai was at a loss for words; he really couldnât negotiate with Fang Qi!
Depressed, he had no choice but to leave and prepare for his exam the next day.

Soon, only Fang Qi was left in the shop. No one was there to bother him, so he went back to playing.
The mansion was filled with all sorts of traps and monsters. Although the zombies in Resident Evil One seemed weak, they really werenât.
If one didnât headshot the zombies, they would all go berserk. Moreover, after playing for a while, players would encounter hunters and chimeras. In such life-like circumstances, it wasnât easy to clear levels in the systemâs remake of the game!
In the systemâs remake, killing monsters would grant players experience points. Therefore, most zombies had to be killed before the players could advance. Because of that, the players would be short on bullets if they used the gun!
If players wanted to clear a level, not only would they have to have the ability to headshot all the zombies, they also must have the ability to kill zombies using a dagger without getting hurt! Moreover, players also had to engage in head-on melee combat with hunters!
Something worth mentioning was that a headshot in this version of the game wasnât as simple as hitting a zombie in the head; the players had to literally obliterate the zombieâs head to kill it!
If the players used handguns, they would have to shoot a regular zombie in the head multiple times to kill it!
However, if the players used daggersâŠ
Fang Qi bent down as if he was a jaguar, ready to pounce. Then, he quietly advanced towards the zombie in front of him.
When he was only a meter-or-so away from the zombie, Fang Qi suddenly shot up and pierced his dagger right into the zombieâs temple before the zombie turned around.
Fang Qi wasnât satisfied with this strike since he saw that the zombie was still struggling!
It wasnât dead yet!
Then, Fang Qi held the dagger in his hand and pushed it into the zombieâs head again with all his might.
After twitching for a few seconds, the zombie finally fell to the ground.
A warm gust of energy left the zombieâs body and entered Fang Qiâs; he opened his character interface and saw that he was Lv 9.
The higher the level, the harder it was to advance. Right now, Fang Qiâs level was more than double of Wang Taiâs and Song Qingfengâs levels!
All these increases in level were reflected in real-life, so Fang Qiâs speed and power were probably even slightly higher than Song Qingfengâs even though the latter was born into a prestigious family, grew up drinking all kinds of elixirs, and practiced martial arts since he was young!
Fang Qi shook off the blood on his dagger and continued searching the mansion. Just then, a horrifying monster covered in scales appeared; its big claws were sharp and ready to kill!
A hunter!
Fang Qiâs heart skipped a beat; this was the hardest monster to defeat in Resident Evil One!
He remembered when he first started playing this game, whenever his HP dropped to the âyellowâ status, he was often executed by the hunterâs claws in the blink of an eye! After all, hunters were incredibly horrific monsters!
He swallowed his saliva and clenched the dagger in his hands!
Instead of using a gun, he decided to fight it with a dagger.
âSir!â The young man in black opened the door curiously and asked, âWhat does your shop offer?â
âYou can play a game called Resident Evil here,â Fang Qi said as he pointed at his computer. âWould you like to try?â
âGame?â The young man looked at Fang Qi with a weird expression and asked, âHow can I play? How much does it cost?â
Fang Qi then pointed at the blackboard by the door.
âCrystals?â The young manâs expression dimmed, and he immediately turned around to leave. As he stormed out, he cursed, âWhat a rip off!â
ââŠâ Fang Qiâs face twitched in anger.
Afterward, a few more people came into his shop, but none of them were as rich and curious as Song Qingfeng. Therefore, he didnât earn any money that evening.
Fang Qi sighed and went back to playing his game.
He played until 3 AM or so.
On his screen, Chris lied on the floor with wounds of various sizes all over his body!
A couple of those cuts were lethal!
Yet, a hunter, that was bleeding with its flesh exposed, was still standing tall!
âWhat the f*ckâŠâ

It was already late, and Fang Qi, who had been playing for half the day, felt his stamina falling. Unlike Song Qingfeng, he didnât exit the game whenever it got difficult.
In order to experience the thrill of killing a hunter, he never exited the game unless he died.
However, he probably couldnât win even if he kept on playing at this point.
After exiting the game, Fang Qi felt his exhaustion overcoming him. Although he didnât move in front of the computer during this time, killing monsters for an extended period of time took a toll on him, both physically and mentally.
He wasnât someone who would play games for 24 hours a day. Therefore, he decided to lock up the doors and go to bed.
