Game Master: Infinite Amplification of Everything - Chapter 18 - The Concealment Cloak

“Li Xiaoyao, my home is just down that street. You can drop me off there,” Catherine directed Chen Fei to her place.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Chen Fei carried her towards the location she mentioned.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination, and Chen Fei took his leave.

…

Standing in the familiar streets of Donglin City, Chen Fei felt a unique sense of nostalgia. In his past life, he had been forced to come here. This time, he arrived by his own strength. The feeling was entirely different.

He glanced at the sky. There was still some time before nightfall. Chen Fei immediately set out to search for treasure chests.

He first visited a general store and bought a shovel. Then he headed towards the east of the city, stopping at a secluded spot. It was an area resembling an urban village, but sparsely populated.

Chen Fei approached an old crooked tree and began to dig.

Heave-ho, heave-ho~

After about ten minutes, a large pit appeared. In the center, there was a bronze treasure chest emitting a faint glow. Chen Fei quickly opened it.

Instantly, a system hint echoed in his ears.

[You have opened a bronze treasure chest and obtained the item ‘Invisibility Cloak’. You have triggered tenfold amplification and received the special item ‘Concealment Cloak’!]

…

[Equipment Name]: Concealment Cloak

Grade: Special Item

Value: /

Magical Effect: Concealment! When worn, no one below Level 100 can discern your true strength, nor can they view your game ID.

Can it be dropped: No! It is bound!

Sell: /

…

It was indeed this item. Chen Fei wasn’t surprised. In his previous life, he had been lucky enough to be given the Invisibility Cloak and told where to dig it up. This time, he found it himself and even triggered the amplification effect, transforming it into a more advanced special item.

No one below Level 100 could see his true status! This item was practically a divine artifact in the early stages, especially for someone like Chen Fei, who had already made enemies. Acquiring this item ensured his safety.

Chen Fei immediately donned the Concealment Cloak. Once he put it on, there didn’t seem to be any special sensation. But as he walked outside, those who had been watching him no longer paid him any attention. It was as if the NPCs now saw him as just another cloaked figure.

Seeing this, Chen Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to head elsewhere to pick up a quest, a game system hint popped up before him.

[You have been online for eight hours today. You will be logged out!]

A swirl of chaos enveloped his vision, and Chen Fei vanished from where he stood. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to reality.

He pushed open the game pod and climbed out.

Glancing at Lin Mumu, who was still immersed in the game, he walked to the kitchen.

He took a carton of milk from the fridge and drank it down in gulps.

Then, he returned to the bedroom, quietly waiting for Lin Mumu to finish her game.

After about ten minutes, Chen Fei started to grow a bit impatient.

He glanced again at Lin Mumu, still in the game, and quickly retrieved an unfinished comic book from under the bed.

Lying on the bed, he began reading the comic.

Perhaps he was a bit tired from playing the game, as he soon drifted off to sleep, the comic still in his hand.

Click~

A soft sound echoed in the room.

It was the sound of the game pod opening.

“Is it this late already?”

The room was dimly lit, as the lights were off, making it a bit hard for her to adjust.

She pushed open the door of the game pod and got up.

Immediately, she saw Chen Fei sleeping soundly.

Lin Mumu looked at him and smiled softly, “This guy, he hasn’t even had dinner, and he’s already asleep?”

She stepped forward, intending to wake him for dinner.

Suddenly, she paused.

She noticed the comic book in Chen Fei’s hand.

“Even If My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Weirdo, I’d Still Like Her”

Lin Mumu: ……

Come to think of it, all of Fei’s comics seem to be about childhood sweethearts?

Could it be that he… likes me?

The thought made Lin Mumu feel a bit warm all over.

Her face turned a rosy red, almost steaming.

“Ahem~”

“Fei, wake up.”

Chen Fei groggily heard Lin Mumu’s voice.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Lin Mumu standing by the bed.

Instinctively, he said, “Mumu.”

Then, he quickly got up from the bed, hurriedly stuffing the comic book under his pillow.

“I, I… that book is actually…”

Lin Mumu didn’t say anything, just gave him a look that said she had seen through everything.

“Let’s eat first, I’m hungry.”

“Okay.”

Chen Fei and Lin Mumu went downstairs to eat.

Soon, they arrived at a bustling food street.

It was particularly lively, especially at eight o’clock.

The two of them entered a hot pot restaurant.

……

They chatted while eating.

“Mumu, I forgot to ask, what class did you choose?”

“Alchemist.”

“Alchemist? Mumu, why did you choose that class?” Chen Fei asked, a bit puzzled.

Although this talent could be used for any class, Chen Fei was curious about her choice.

In truth, he just wanted to know how Lin Mumu felt about the game.

“Well, as an alchemist, I don’t have to fight. I quite like it.”

“I see. So, after playing for a day, what do you think of the game? Doesn’t it feel incredibly real?”

Hearing this, Lin Mumu put down her chopsticks.

Very earnestly, she said, “It’s too real, not like a game at all! Fei, I don’t think Penguin could make a game like this.”

Chen Fei gently steered the conversation, “Is it possible that it’s a real world?”

“Fei, have you been reading too many comics… you need to be more materialistic!”

Chen Fei didn’t say anything more.

He just quietly continued eating his hot pot.

Seeing this, Lin Mumu spoke up.

“Fei, did I say something wrong… did I upset you…”

“Mumu, don’t misunderstand, I’m just thinking about something.”

……

Chen Fei and Lin Mumu spent nearly an hour at the hotpot restaurant, each lost in their own thoughts.

They strolled down the street together.

The summer night was warm, with a gentle breeze blowing.

A faint, familiar fragrance lingered around Chen Fei’s nose.

He knew it well; it was Lin Mumu’s scent.

After all, he’d been familiar with it since childhood.

Chen Fei gazed at the sky, walking slowly, his mind occupied with thoughts of how to quickly advance.

Lin Mumu walked beside him, occasionally stealing glances at him.

This peaceful life…

It wouldn’t last much longer…

In less than a year.

As the game progressed.

Reality would gradually reflect the power from the Eternal Myriad Races!

Chen Fei’s heart raced wildly at the thought.

He felt breathless.

As if a mountain was pressing down on him!

The pressure was immense.

“Fei… I won’t be going back tonight…”

“Not going back tonight? Then where will you sleep? I only have one bed at my place.”

Chen Fei was taken aback.

Ever since his parents’ accident.

He was left with just one bed.

In his own bedroom.

There were no extra beds at his place now.

Unless someone slept on the floor.

Lin Mumu felt a bit awkward, her face slightly flushed…

“It’s so late now, of course, I’ll have to stay at your place… sharing a bed isn’t a big deal…”

Chen Fei took a deep breath.

He looked seriously at the girl in front of him.

“Let’s get going, I’m tired.”
