The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 81

Returning to her room, Qing Li collapses on the bed after a bath.

Her head buried in the pillow, she no longer has the strength to even turn over.

Two more cards appear in her bound item bar: one depicts the Starving Ghost Restaurant with a gaping, bloody maw on the back, its uneven fangs dripping with blood-red flesh.

The other card shows the entire view of Qingshan Medical College, shrouded in a sinister, grey haze. On the back of this card is a half palm with a large hole in the center, symbolizing the abyss.

Having unlocked two more industry sectors, Qing Li closes her tired eyes.

“Sleep, sleep, a dog’s life is important.”

“Mission start, player number 91, please prepare.”

Rankings change constantly without progress.

“Mission countdown…”

“10”

…

“3”

“2”

“1”

In the white sealed space, there are now three players.

Upon Qing Li’s arrival, some show surprise, others indifference, and one an odd expression.

“Master Qing Li, great to see you here,” says a simple-looking man greeting her. He’s one of her customers and attended her funeral.

“Yes, place the talisman properly,” Qing Li reminds him with a slight smile.

After all, good service is key to long-term cooperation.

Viewers flood into the live broadcast room as they receive notifications.

They see Qing Li smiling warmly at a man.

?Village girl, how much did you scam him for this time??

?Anyone who makes her smile like that must be a big client.?

?Alas, the naive village girl with a pure smile will never return.?

…

After the greetings, the man introduces himself: “I’m Zhang Fan, ranked 45th, completed 7 missions.”

“I’m Sun Yihang, ranked 61st, completed 4 missions.”

A short man with pale skin and delicate features, easily mistaken for a girl, introduces himself next.

Aside from Qing Li, another female player says, “I’m Li Wenwen, ranked 39th, completed 8 missions.”

After speaking, she glares coldly at Qing Li.

“They all call you ‘master’, but I don’t believe in you. I will expose your true face one day.”

Faced with the challenge, Qing Li’s eyelids flutter. She pulls out a talisman and sincerely says, “Why not buy one? If it’s useless, you’ll have proof to call me a fraud. If it helps, it might save your life. Either way, you won’t lose.”

The woman, unable to refute, reluctantly transfers 100,000 popularity points to Qing Li.

By the time she reacted, she was stomping her feet in frustration and anger: “Charlatan, just you wait and see.”

How infuriating, to be tricked by this little charlatan!

[The sales tactics of the little village girl are getting better and better. Facing skepticism, she used reverse psychology, something I never expected.]

[With just one sentence, she made a woman spend 100,000 popularity points on her.]

[So, impulsive shopping is not advisable. Everyone should shop rationally.]

[Please, that’s the village girl’s talisman paper. This woman even doubted my little village girl. Wait until the talisman paper saves your life, then you’ll be grateful to her.]

Having boosted her sales again, Qing Li was in a good mood. Facing the woman’s gritted teeth, she reassured, “Don’t worry, although the cost of this talisman paper is just 0.1 yuan, the spiritual power I put into it is worth 99,999.9 yuan. You won’t be cheated or suffer a loss.”

Li Wenwen: “…”

Even more furious!

At this time, the white walls finally began to change.

Blood red seeped out from the walls, slowly forming a string of text.

—

In a pitch-black cinema, a group of special guests arrived. They wanted to find the most interesting movie but were dissatisfied with everything.

To please the guests, players were asked to shoot a movie based on their system’s prompts.

The highest-rated film would earn the guests’ reward, while the lowest-rated one would become their meal!

—

This time, the blood writing on the wall was different, as if someone was hiding behind it, issuing commands to the players through the blood writing.

It even explicitly stated that the lowest scorer would die.

“Crack—”

The wall cracked open, and the surrounding space distorted.

Qing Li opened her eyes to see dense leaves blocking the sky, with only a few sparse rays of light filtering through the gaps. The air was filled with a damp musty smell and a faint stench of decay.

“Buzzing—”

Her wristwatch vibrated. Qing Li looked down.

Game Name: Filming

Danger Level: 4 stars.

Mission: Player No. 91 is required to collaborate with the crew to shoot a horror-themed movie.

Time Limit: 48 hours.

Tip 1: The better the acting, the higher the score!

Tip 2: Encrypted (unlocks for 50,000 popularity points)

Tip 3: Encrypted (unlocks for 300,000 popularity points)

At this moment, a ghostly figure wrapped in bandages, carrying a camera, spoke in a hostile tone, “Are you the new human actor who just arrived?”

Qing Li nodded earnestly and honestly: “Mhm.”

The Bandaged Ghost said, “The crew is waiting for you, hurry up and come with me.”

He led the way, stepping on thick fallen leaves, startling some damp bugs into scurrying away.

Before long, Qing Li followed the Bandaged Ghost to a dilapidated small village. She raised her eyebrows, noticing a strange yin energy enveloping the village.

The Bandaged Ghost’s tone was much gentler. As they walked, he said, “Don’t be too scared. We are not those ferocious low-level ghosts. We are civilized ghosts in the arts, just wanting to shoot a great horror film that shocks the entire horror world. But now, in a world dominated by ghosts, it’s really hard to make a scary movie.”

If their work was eliminated, the whole crew would have to change careers!

“I’ll do my best.”

Qing Li’s eyes shifted. When she knew she was to shoot a horror film, she thought of many things in an instant.

Meanwhile, the other three players.

Zhang Fan was filming a romantic tragedy—Unfinished Love Between Human and Ghost.

He looked at the female lead with a rotting face, tears streaming down his face.

Li Wenwen was shooting a martial arts film—Beauty Battles Ghost Gangsters.

And the last player, Sun Yihang, looking at the romantic action script in his hand, then at the ten burly ghost men the director’s team had found in advance…
