- Chapter 46 - Mission Four: Working at the Starving Ghost Restaurant
After leaving the rooftop, Qing Li returned to the first-floor lobby, where many fortune-bringing children were waiting to give her money.
However, she was selective about her clients, excluding those with an extremely malicious or evil appearance.
Eventually, Qing Li made a fortune and returned to her room with a full pot of money.
She sat cross-legged on the bed and used her thoughts to check her inventory, finding a new black card.
On the back of the card was a rotting finger, and the front showed the entire view of the “Golden Island Hotel.”
At this point, Qing Li noticed a new character connection in her personal information and raised an eyebrow to check it.
Name: Ma Yue.
Position: Hotel Security Personnel.
Ability: Useless, rookie, low-level ghost creature.
Name: Huang Lina.
Occupation: Hotel Room Service Staff.
Ability: Low-level charm skill (Growth ability B).
Name: Zhou Ya.
Occupation: Hotel Bathroom Cleaning Aunt.
Ability: Ambitious but useless, low-level ghost creature, recommended for dismissal.
Finally, there was a reception puppet ghost, also rated by the system as a low-level ghost creature.
Qing Li stroked her chin, realizing she needed to capture some stronger ghosts to work for her.
Otherwise, relying only on these weaklings, her plan to make money in the thrilling world would be hard to achieve.
Lastly, Qing Li opened the character relationship with Chu Ci.
Name: Chu Ci.
Occupation: Doctor.
Ability: You are not qualified to view.
Qing Li: “…”
“Come out, you damned thing, did you deliberately add that line for me?” Qing Li gritted her teeth and called out the system.
The system’s cold voice replied, “Asking knowingly.”
Qing Li: “…”
One day, she would dismantle this damned thing and seal it in a dung pit for a hundred years.
24 hours later, the mission countdown began.
“10”
…
“3”
“2”
“1”
“Welcome, Player No. 94.”
As the system announced, Qing Li appeared in a white space.
The player who had been summoned earlier showed a look of surprise upon seeing Qing Li.
“Master, it’s great, I can’t believe I’m participating in this mission with you.”
A delicate-looking girl spoke with excitement.
Qing Li remembered her; she was one of her ‘wealth-bringing children’.
Treating her client warmly, Qing Li smiled, “Keep the amulet safe on you, don’t lose it.”
“Don’t worry, Master, I’ve put it in my bra, it definitely won’t get lost,” the girl said shyly.
Qing Li blinked, unclear what a “bra” was, a new term to her.
“By the way, Master, my name is Wang Lili, ranked 42nd. You can call me Lili,” Wang Lili introduced herself.
Qing Li nodded and casually replied, “Just call me Qing Li.”
“Qing Li, you are so approachable, not at all like an arrogant and aloof enlightened person,” Wang Lili said admiringly.
Qing Li: “…”
Why did it feel like this female player was more adept at flattery than the audience in her livestream?
The livestream audience seemed to sense Qing Li’s thoughts, becoming displeased.
[What approachable? Are you sure it’s not ‘approachable to millions’?]
[Why is this female player so enthusiastic towards the little village girl? Did they make some unknown ‘PY transaction’?]
[Little village girl, have you forgotten Dr. Chu from the Golden Island Hotel’s luxury bed?]
[Speaking of which, what exactly happened that night? Did the little village girl and Dr. Chu sleep together or not?]
The sudden blackout at a crucial moment that night left many viewers itching with curiosity.
After Wang Lili’s introduction, there were three other players in the room.
A short, expressionless man glared coldly at Qing Li, then introduced himself, “No. 51, Chen Fang, five missions.”
He had once wanted to buy Qing Li’s amulet but was unreasonably rejected.
Now, he harbored resentment towards Qing Li.
A shy, ordinary-looking middle-aged woman introduced herself, “I’m Tian Mingjuan, No. 57, completed four missions.”
She spoke with a heavy accent and had wrinkles around her eyes when she smiled.
The last one was a man, tall and robust, with a rugged look, exuding righteousness. He spoke clearly, “My name is Cai Wenfeng, ranked 25th, completed eleven missions.”
In the livestream, the higher the ranking, the harder it was.
Qing Li took a longer look at Cai Wenfeng, her brows slightly furrowed.
[Why is the little village girl frowning? Is there a problem with No. 25?]
[No. 25 is a public servant in the real world and a good guy in the horror world, often risking his life to save others.]
[Although I admire No. 25, such people are doomed not to last long in the horror world.]
“Mr. Cai, would you like to buy an amulet? It’s only 100,000 popularity points each,” Qing Li said with a smile.
Cai Wengfeng was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter: “I know you; everyone now calls you the Little Master. I heard your amulets can suppress ghosts, so I’ll buy one!”
He transferred the money swiftly and bought an amulet from Qing Li.
Tian Mingjuan’s eyes flashed with desire, and she couldn’t help saying: “Little Master Qing Li, could you give me a possession charm? I don’t have money right now, but I will definitely pay you back when I do.”
She rubbed her trouser legs, her face showing an embarrassed smile.
“I’m sorry, but I only sell my charms, I don’t give them away,” Qing Li refused.
Qing Li’s unsympathetic response left Tian Mingjuan with a frozen expression. She muttered, “So stingy, and you call yourself a master, just a money-grubber.”
Her voice was too soft, and none of the other players heard it, but Qing Li heard it clearly.
At that moment, the snowy white walls began to seep bright red blood.
The players’ attention was all drawn to the wall.
The blood twisted and turned on the wall, gradually forming a series of texts.
—
Candlelight flickered, her beautiful face was so intoxicating.
I kissed her lips, the best taste in the world.
I couldn’t wait to bite and chew her lips, wanting to swallow this wonderful taste.
Her lips became bloody and mangled, and I began to savor her tender tongue.
Oh, she tasted so wonderful!
I think I’ll miss this night I spent with her.
What a perfect candlelight dinner.
—
The shocking blood-written words, the content chilling to the bone.
At first glance, it seems like a man’s tender monologue, but the reality is…
He ate her!
More and more blood emerged from the wall, turning the snowy white wall as if it had been brushed with a layer of blood-red paint, the smell of blood thick in the air.
“Crack—”
The wall cracked and shattered, and the surrounding scene twisted.
Opening her eyes, in front of her was a dim and secluded resting room. A few fluttering moths surrounded the dim yellow light bulb, causing it to shake and sway, and the shadows of several players also moved along with it.
“Are you the new waiters?”
A male ghost with a face full of flesh tumors sinisterly sized up the humans in front of him, his sunken eyes harboring ill intent…
