Chapter 114: New Employee, Nightmare Giant Bear

"What the hell is this junk? A tiny piece of rotten meat selling for 500 game coins!"

Zhang Jie swore profanely, at that moment he was holed up in a small hut, browsing the system shop.

Everything sold here is merchandise listed by players who have cleared this game.

In this game, whatever you can think of should be available here.

Spending money makes you stronger; Zhang Jie's talent is like that, and it's the same in these game worlds—rich people don't need to painstakingly search for supplies, they just make clothes from furs.

They just need to lie down in any random room, tap a few times with their fingers, and supplies are delivered straight to their face.

And as a newbie player, Zhang Jie, who couldn't scrape together a penny, could only treat this shop interface as a picture book to look at.

"Aurora wolf fur? Aurora bear fur? Fifty thousand each?!"

"Aurora bear skin coat, 1.6w each?"

"Looks like this 'Aurora' is the supernatural power here."

After obtaining a score in Dream Online in the game, supernatural powers will be born; the higher the score, the stronger the supernatural power.

Zhang Jie stroked his chin, thought for a moment, then continued browsing these goods.

Items with the "Aurora" prefix basically cost three times the original price and have strange effects.

For example, Aurora wolf meat has the effect of quickly restoring stamina and permanently increasing stamina limit.

"Being a player really makes money."

Zhang Jie closed the system panel with a sigh, looking at the Nightmare frantically drilling wood to make fire beside him.

Nightmare: "I'm drilling, drilling, drilling, drilling, drilling!"

"Are you done? You've been drilling for half an hour! Still no fire?"

The Nightmare raised its head, looked at Zhang Jie and made two "aba" sounds; it can't speak, only able to emit a few simple tones.

"Alright, take your time trying."

At that moment, the Nightmares Zhang Jie had sent out to scout and gather supplies also returned; sensing the information they transmitted, Zhang Jie got up from the bed on the second floor and went downstairs to open the door for them.

"Holy shit!"

"What the hell did you bring back?"

What came into view was a giant wolf larger than the doorframe, carrying a half-dead black bear in its mouth like it was carrying a chick, and it plopped onto the ground.

"Howl!"

The Nightmare Giant Wolf howled twice at Zhang Jie, indicating he should use the Nightmare staff to finish off the black bear to obtain its attributes.

"Not bad, you've earned merit."

Zhang Jie excitedly pulled out the staff; he remembered that a pound of bear meat could fetch 500 game coins, and his pay-to-win talent was still hungry for more.

Just as he was about to stab the giant bear's head with the staff, an accident occurred.

Only see a black mist suddenly welling up from his body, continuously gathering to one side—that was the pitch-black lump of Nightmare he had once obtained.

At this moment it suddenly appeared, conveying its desire to Zhang Jie.

It wanted to devour that black bear.

This scene made Zhang Jie pause; he had never figured out what this suddenly appearing Nightmare was for, but now it reacted, so he might as well let it try.

"Fine, I won't kill it—you handle it."

A big lump of pitch-black stuff transmitted a feeling of gratitude; then the black mist surged toward the black bear's massive body, and the bear let out a heart-rending scream.

"Your primordial Nightmare has devoured the black bear!"

"Converting!"

"You obtained Black Bear Meat x150, Organs x10, Black Bear Fur x1, Animal Fat x4"

Soon after, the black bear's silhouette was completely engulfed by the black liquid, and a massive Nightmare slowly rose.

"Nice partner, even helped me dismantle the black bear's corpse."

Zhang Jie gazed in delight at the ever-growing figure before him; ultimately, a four-meter-tall giant bear loomed before him.

"Roar!!!"

"Controllable Nightmares +1!"

"Number of controllable Nightmares: 5/10"

A panel for the giant bear automatically popped up before Zhang Jie.

"Nightmare Giant Bear"

"Level: 1"

"Strength: 20, Agility: 10, HP: 500"

"Special skills will be unlocked at levels 10, 30, 70, and 90 respectively."

"Nice partner!"

Zhang Jie glanced at the four original employees around him; their panels also appeared one after another.

"Nightmare Giant Wolf"

"Level: 12"

"Special Skill: Shadow Follow"

"Nightmare Thunder Eagle"

"Level: 10"

"Special Skill: Shadow Thunder"

"Nightmare Dark Blade"

"Level: 15"

"Special Skill: Control Shadow Transformation"

【Nightmare Red Vein】

【Level: 13】

【Special Skill: Blood Vessel】

「Good buddy! 」

Zhang Jie curled the corner of his mouth, his heart excited beyond measure, his these nightmare hey slave... no... nightmare companions at this stage are simply strong beyond measure.

And each of them also has special skills, attributes can also be buffed onto oneself, the difficulty of strategy-ing this game is simply as if there were none!

With his ability, he can completely go try to strategy a D-rank game! And he has a Nightmare staff, his development speed will exceed everyone's expectations!

A rough plan emerged in his mind; he will make good use of these two hundred days! Grind meat! Grind supplies! Make money! Plunder attributes!

Before his attributes become exceptionally strong, he will proceed step by step, steadily and firmly!

「OK! Just decided like that! 」

「You! Go chop firewood! 」

「You, continue to stoke the fire and roast meat! 」

「You! Continue hunting! 」

「You... 」

Zhang Jie looked at the longing nightmare giant bear, fell into contemplation for a moment.

「You also go hunt. 」

「Wow! 」

On the other side.

Reality.

Yu Xiaomo didn't sleep well all night; she wasn't worried about Zhang Jie, but about herself.

Her pitiful 7% probability, even after using an item, only rises to 15%; wanting to hit the jackpot is practically impossible.

「Sigh... Next week it'll be my turn to apply to be a player... 」

「How annoying... 」

Originally, when nobody had become a player yet, this gap hadn't shown up.

But once Zhang Jie and Liu Delie become players, the distance she had painstakingly closed with Zhang Jie will only grow farther...

「Please please... Heaven bless me... 」

Ding-dong!

The phone sounded with a notification from someone special; Yu Xiaomo hurriedly turned over and grabbed her phone.

On it was her early greeting sent to Zhang Jie.

Xiao Mo: Zhang Jie, did you succeed in your application?

This was a message from two hours ago.

Jie Ge: Got it.

Jie Ge: Easy peasy!

Seeing Zhang Jie's somewhat arrogant words, Yu Xiaomo pursed her lips.

She typed in the chat box, deleting and reducing, finally sending only one sentence.

Xiao Mo: Then you gotta bring me to strategy the game world sometime, Jie Ge~

【System notification: The other party is currently strategizing a game in Dream Online; please try sending again later.】

「Huh??? 」

「Zhang Jie just went straight to strategize a game like that? 」
