In Chapter 39, in the next dungeon, you can continue to try this route.
A brief silence fell on the other side of the screen.
The parents' expressions instantly shifted from worry to utter shock and bewilderment.
A mysterious flight attendant? Pregnant?
This is completely beyond what they have known for decades.
"Son...son, what did you say? The...the flight attendant is pregnant with your child?" The father's voice trembled.
"Yes, Dad. So I have to stay here to settle her in and keep her company."
"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine, even better than in the real world."
The mother snapped out of her daze and asked anxiously, "Then...can we go over and check on her? To take care of the pregnant woman and all that..."
Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile: "Mom, this is a strange world, you can't come here. But the place I live in is great, very safe, and I have everything I need."
"I'll find a way to let you see the baby after it's born."
Despite all our efforts to persuade them, the worry on their faces did not completely disappear.
Lin Feng understood their feelings and knew that only by seeing the real environment could they truly feel at ease.
Just as he was about to ask, the butler A-01 had already taken out a thin, smooth, transparent crystal panel from under the control panel. It was about the size of an ordinary mobile phone and had a faint glow flowing around its edges.
"Master, this is the mobile terminal of the cross-border communication device."
"Through it, you can communicate freely from anywhere in the villa, and all images and sounds will be transmitted stably through the main device."
Lin Feng took the crystal plate; it felt light in his hand.
With a light touch of his fingertip, the screen lit up with a soft glow, displaying a live feed of his parents.
He smiled at the camera and said, "Dad, Mom, let me show you where I live now."
He walked out of the hidden room holding a mobile terminal, first showing the spacious and luxurious holographic theater and constant-temperature wine cellar on the lower level, and then went up the curved staircase.
When the magnificent hall, with its nearly ten-meter-high ceiling and giant crystal chandelier, appeared on the screen, a soft gasp came from the other end of the communication line.
"This...this is really where you live?" The father's voice was filled with disbelief.
"Of course," Lin Feng replied with a smile, walking towards the huge floor-to-ceiling window, which presented his parents with a complete view of the meticulously maintained garden, the distant sea view, and the "rule protection zone" that shimmered in the sunlight.
The worry on the parents' faces was finally replaced by a complex expression that mixed shock and relief.
"See? Dad, Mom, I'm really fine."
"It's safe here, we have everything. I'll take good care of myself and Xia Ning."
The mother took a deep breath and gently wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand:
"I see it, I see it... This place is so much better than we imagined..."
"I'm glad you're safe, I'm glad you're safe."
The father's tense shoulders relaxed, and all his unspoken words were finally condensed into a single, weighty admonition:
"Okay...son, then...be careful. Contact us again when you have time!"
"Definitely. Please take good care of yourselves as well."
After exchanging a few more words of advice, the parents on the other end of the screen waved goodbye with reluctance.
Lin Feng lightly swiped his fingertip across the crystal panel, the soft light went out, and the images of his parents on the screen faded away, returning to their original warm and transparent state.
........................
After ending the call with my parents, the living room fell silent instantly.
Holding the still slightly warm mobile terminal, Lin Feng stood alone in the center of the spacious and magnificent hall, the composure he had forced to maintain to appease his parents slowly fading away.
He knew better than anyone that the dreamlike tranquility before him was nothing more than a brief respite in the storm.
According to the cruel rules of the Ghost Stories, once someone is chosen as the Chosen One, they will be continuously pulled into the Ghost Stories instance until the current round of Ghost Stories ends.
Before long, he will once again be thrown into a life-or-death predicament.
Lin Feng closed his eyes briefly, took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the heaviness into his lungs and transform it into the strength to move forward.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze had regained its sharpness, and he turned to the robot butler standing quietly to the side.
"A-01," his voice was steady, "help me contact the Dragon Kingdom Ghost Stories Strategy Team."
"Command confirmed, Master." The blue light in Butler A-01's eyes flowed elegantly. It did not make any big movements, but simply raised one of its metal hands slightly.
In an instant, countless tiny blue dots, as fine as stars, emerged from his palm and rapidly intertwined and combined in the air, instantly forming a miniature virtual control interface.
Its fingers moved quickly and precisely within it, and soon the signal was quickly connected.
Qin Weiguo, the leader of the Dragon Kingdom Strange Tales Strategy Team, appeared on the screen, with the familiar command center in the background.
But his brows were furrowed, his expression grave. Upon seeing that the person opposite him was Lin Feng, Qin Weiguo immediately cried out:
"Lin Feng! You're alright? That's great! Where are you now? How are you?"
Seeing the senior on the other end of the screen who was clearly worried about him, Lin Feng felt a warmth in his heart, but his tone remained calm:
"Team Leader Qin, I'm fine. I'm currently in a completely safe special area, which can be called a 'safe island'."
He paused briefly to organize his thoughts, and then clearly and concisely explained to Qin Weiguo the characteristics of the safe island and the even more astonishing fact that Xia Ning was pregnant.
Qin Weiguo's eyes sharpened. "Lin Feng, did you gain some special abilities or privileges during this incident?"
"This is very important. We hope you can tell us the truth so that we can better combine your situation and provide you with the necessary resources and advice. This is crucial for us to meet the challenges of future ghost stories."
Lin Feng remained silent for a moment.
The existence of the system is his biggest secret. Although Qin Weiguo represents the country, it's best not to reveal it for now.
He hesitated for a moment, then responded cautiously:
"Team Leader Qin, I have indeed discovered some patterns."
"In the world of ghost stories, establishing a deep emotional bond with a specific woman seems to bring unexpected opportunities."
"Like my relationship with Xia Ning this time, I received a lot of hints and preferential treatment in the dungeon."
Qin Weiguo on the other side of the screen nodded thoughtfully:
"A deep emotional bond... Indeed, we have collected some similar clues before, but none as specific as yours."
His eyes deepened, as if he were rapidly weighing something.
A moment later, Qin Weiguo suddenly raised his head, his gaze intense:
"Lin Feng! Completing the ghost story challenges by building close relationships may sound a bit unorthodox, but it's undoubtedly a strategically valuable direction for exploration!"
"You can continue trying this route in the next instance."
Lin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to get away with it, and nodded, saying, "Okay, Team Leader Qin."
Qin Weiguo then asked, "Can you return to the real world now?"
