8: Chapter 8 Mission Rating

"Moving the corpse just now actually consumed 20 stamina points!"

"The distance from the restroom to here is only 100 meters. What would happen if my stamina points dropped to 0?" Su Qing asked in confusion.

At this moment, Su Qing's stamina value was displayed as: [12 / 50]

"Obviously, don't you feel tired? From the abundance of energy when we first entered the Thriller Game, to the increased breathing frequency and faster heartbeat now..."

"If the stamina value drops to 0, it is highly likely that we will be unable to move," Chen Mo said, voicing his guess.

Hearing this, Su Qing felt her pressure double.

She had originally thought that the Thriller Game only took pleasure in scaring and killing people.

It turned out that its complexity was intended to completely replicate the physical functional values of real humans.

First, there was the HP bar, then the sanity value, and now stamina points have appeared.

"Chen Mo, why is my stamina value lower than yours?"

"There are two possibilities. One is the difference in physical fitness between genders, and the other is that it's calculated based on our actual physical fitness in reality."

"Obviously... you probably don't exercise much in your daily life."

Hearing this, Su Qing's face immediately flushed red.

Indeed, in her daily life, she did nothing but eat, sleep, and stay up late binge-watching shows.

The longest distance she had ever run was for her middle school physical education exam.

As soon as she stepped out of school, there was always a car waiting to pick her up.

Even if she were going to buy a few sweet cakes 150 meters away from her home, she would still be driven back and forth in a Maybach.

Even such a young lady who ate and drank recklessly was surprisingly not a standard tank.

Instead, she was plump in the right places and slim in the right places; her figure was surprisingly good, and her skin was surprisingly supple.

Beauty, for some people, might also be a kind of talent!

"Wait!" Su Qing's pupils suddenly dilated.

She said, "Chen Mo, if you hadn't helped me just now, my stamina might have been completely exhausted. The original setting of this game is that I, a Nurse, would be unable to clear the level on my own."

"I must cooperate with you to complete the task!"

At this point, the look in Su Qing's eyes as she gazed at Chen Mo was filled with even more gratitude.

If Chen Mo were a cold-blooded and ruthless man, or someone who required her to pay a price, she would be in real trouble.

She was glad that she had teamed up with Chen Mo, rather than any of the boys in her class.

Although they all appeared polite on the surface, they were all beasts in human clothing deep down.

They would definitely force her to pay some extra price!

Chen Mo looked at Su Qing's grateful gaze and simply waved his hand nonchalantly.

He said, "It's nothing."

I was just doing it for myself.

[Many Children Many Blessings is so lovely, he really is an upright and good man! Wow~ full of gentlemanly demeanor.]

[Disturbing the Moon: Many Children Many Blessings is handsome and smart, I feel he will definitely be able to obtain an S-rank rating.]

[Is it possible that this Many Children Many Blessings is just trying to farm for a hidden score?]

Just after Chen Mo finished smoking a cigarette, a metallic chime suddenly rang throughout the entire corridor.

Just by hearing the quality of the chime, Chen Mo could imagine that this clock must be one of those old clocks from the last century, the kind with a pendulum.

Some of them even have little figures that pop out.

At this same time, a game notification popped up in front of Chen Mo and Su Qing.

[dungeon Name: No. 18 Hospital]

[Current Progress: 1 / 3]

[Your task rating for the first day is A-rank]

[Rewards: 100 horror coins, 10 free attribute points, 100 experience points]

[Reward Item: Snake Woman's bone-scraping knife, ID: D077]

[Your level has increased to Level 2, current attributes are as follows]

[Game ID: Many Children Many Blessings]

[Ghost Power: 5]

[Agility: 5]

[HP: 195 / 200]

[MP: 100 / 100]

[Sanity Value: 100 / 100]

[Stamina Value: 139 / 200]

[Status: Healthy]

Looking at his attribute changes, Chen Mo's first reaction was: Does leveling up in this game not refresh attributes?

The 5 HP he lost from kicking the door wasn't replenished; it just added to the original base.

The new attribute that appeared is called MP, which is generally translated in games as the blue bar or magic points.

"Hiss! I didn't expect that after doing so many things, my task rating would only be A?"

"Just what do I need to do to get an S-rank rating?"

Free attribute points can be added, but obviously, adding 10 attribute points to stamina or the HP bar has too low a cost-performance ratio.

It's better to add them all to strength.

After looking at his rewards, Chen Mo looked over at Su Qing.

"How is your task rating?" Chen Mo asked.

"My task rating is B+, all my values increased by 100 points, I was rewarded with 5 free attribute points, and I got an item."

As she spoke, Su Qing tapped on the backpack in the menu.

Immediately, a ball of blue light surged from her palm, gradually taking shape and transforming into a solid object.

It was a lipstick!

"Electric shock lipstick. If you poke the target with the lipstick, it can cause a paralysis effect on them."

A B+ rating should only be half a grade lower than his own. He had been busy and exhausted for half a day, only to end up just half a grade higher than Su Qing?

Furthermore, this lipstick even had magic damage, an electric shock.

His bone-scraping knife was only 10 centimeters longer than hers; other than that, it had no special features.

[Snake Woman's bone-scraping knife: According to legend, the Snake Woman would transform into a beautiful woman to deceive woodcutters going up the mountain. After luring them into a cave, she would first peel off their skin, then slowly consume their flesh and blood. This knife was made from the bones of hundreds of strong men.]

That was the only description; nothing more, just a little story that children would like to hear.

[Current time: 1:00 AM. You have 10 minutes of shopping time. Please head to the Vending Machine as soon as possible, buy the food you like, and then return to your Dormitory as soon as possible.]

The blood-colored text in front of them melted like wax.

Su Qing showed a delighted expression, clutching her grumbling little belly.

"I didn't expect that we could even buy food in the Thriller Game."

"Chen Mo, let's hurry and go buy some food. Maybe it's because of the drop in stamina points, but I'm extremely hungry right now."

"Alright."

The two of them passed through those pitch-black rooms, moving through the secluded corridor.

Very soon, the Vending Machine appeared in front of the two of them.

At the same time, other people emerged from the shadows.

"Y-you guys, what happened to you?!" Su Qing was full of shock.

The class monitor and his two lackeys, who were perfectly fine an hour ago.

At this moment, their skin had become completely devoid of color, as if something had pierced into their bodies and sucked away the flesh and bone marrow from within them.

Their complexions were sallow, their flesh sunken, and their cheekbones protruded.

Their bodies were also covered in strange bite marks.

"No way, how come you two are completely fine?!" The class monitor reached out and pointed at Chen Mo.
