"Choose NO!"
Xie Tengfei pointed at Oiran's head.
"Being pure and innocent means having no stains in life, but Xie Ruyi has undergone Tattooing Punishment, which means she has committed a crime! Her life is not pure and innocent!"
[Three minutes are up, please make your choice.]
[Is what Xue Qing said true or false? YES/NO.]
All the players present chose NO once again.
However, this time, they waited for a long time without any sign of the System Prompt or Game continuing.
Could it be that the Game steps had ended?
[Remaining players, please make your choice quickly!]
"Who hasn't pressed an answer yet?" Xie Tengfei asked impatiently.
All Players shook their heads.
Suddenly, Lin Xun realized something.
The Game required All Players to make a choice.
In this All Players scenario, does it include players who are not present?
He was so focused on the Game itself that he failed to pay attention to the players.
The moment he pressed the answer, he suddenly realized something.
One player was missing!
Xu Jingyu was not on site!
…
In the basement cupboard.
Xu Jingyu looked at the newly appeared selection interface.
A wave of irritation crossed her face.
"Again?"
It popped up every few minutes, and she wondered if it was some sort of Game Bug!
【So boring! Player, can’t you do something interesting? Like a Live Broadcast of a pole dance in the cupboard?】
There were comments in Xu Jingyu's Live Broadcast.
Although she was a girl, she had a natural advantage on the Live Broadcast.
However, since she herself did not participate in the Game, the number of people in the Live Broadcast was few and far between.
Who would want to watch the Black Hole Cabinet?
Xu Jingyu rolled her eyes. A cabinet doing a pole dance? What a ridiculous thought!
Looking at the YES and NO options before her, she instinctively pressed the NO button.
[All Players have chosen NO.]
[Xue Qing will enter the Haunted Brothel Dungeon as a permanent NPC.]
The door to one of the rooms on the first floor swung open.
Xue Qing and the scattered clothes on the floor transformed into a blazing black mist, instantly flying into the room.
Only Xie Ruyi's Ren Tou remained on stage.
Lin Xun fell silent for a few seconds.
He was almost certain that Xu Jingyu had pressed the NO button three times in a row.
What kind of luck is this? Is this what they call the luck of the European Emperor?
"Please continue to complete the Main Quest task."
Lin Xun was puzzled.
The appearance of Xue Qing was neither part of the Main Quest nor a Side Quest.
If it were a Main Quest or a Side Quest, there would be a completion prompt.
So what was the purpose of her appearance?
After everyone dispersed, Lin Xun arrived at Xue Qing's door.
However, he found that he couldn't open it no matter what.
As night fell, the spirits in the Brothel began to surge toward the small courtyard.
They were like starving students, aggressive and menacing.
Sitting at the table in the courtyard, they watched the Small House with hungry eyes.
At this time, the Ghost Chef would usually be serving food, so why was the door still closed today?
On the other side, several players sat anxiously at a nearby table.
They were filled with unease.
The hunger in their stomachs and the slowly decreasing SAN Value forced them to confront their fears.
Fortunately, having learned from their previous experience, everyone who came to eat this time was prepared with silver coins.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the door of the Small House finally opened.
Lin Xun emerged, carrying trays of steamed buns.
"Why are you here? Where's the Ghost Chef?"
A Bandaged Ghost, whose body was wrapped in bandages and looked quite robust except for his blood-red eyes, asked.
As he spoke, dark red blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Soon, his chest was stained a deep crimson.
"Punished by the Game."
Lin Xun split the steamed bun in his hand into two halves.
One half was placed on Gui Wu's table, and the other half was set on the players' table.
The Bandaged Ghost picked up the bun, ready to take a bite.
But Lin Xun said, "One bun, one tael of silver!"
The Bandaged Ghost froze for a moment, his expression turning sinister.
"Are you joking with me? A mere human dares to charge Gui Wu for money?"
This Game was their territory!
Even if the Ghost Chef was absent, they would not allow humans to act recklessly!
In an instant, the previously indifferent and cold Gui Wu shifted their aura dramatically.
Chilling winds surrounded them, and dark ghostly energy spread around the players.
Low, venomous whispers echoed in the players' ears.
[You have angered the Horde of Ghosts. The Gui Wu's unresolved malice will generate resentment that will severely affect your SAN Value!]
Severe impact?
Why do I feel nothing at all?
Lin Xun glanced back at Huang Shang and Hua Tian behind him. The two were crouched on the ground, their faces pale, murmuring to themselves.
Lin Xun immediately put on a smile.
He waved at the Bandaged Ghost, saying, "Yes, yes, you're right, it's all my fault! I have meat in my Small House, but there's too much for me to carry alone. Could you help me take some?"
Seeing Lin Xun back down, The Many Ghosts slowly reined in their resentment.
The Bandaged Ghost stood up proudly, following Lin Xun into the Small House like a victor.
Inside the Small House, Hua Tian and Huang Shang were still crouched on the ground.
They had not yet regained their composure.
The Bandaged Ghost looked on with disgust.
How dare these insignificant humans bargain with Gui Wu?
They truly did not know their place!
Humans should play the Game with trepidation and caution!
They should be filled with awe and fear, trembling with anxiety!
He glanced back at the grinning Lin Xun.
What on earth is this?
Why isn’t he afraid?
“Where’s the meat?” Bandaged Ghost extended his right hand, wrapped tightly in bandages.
His right hand, often used, had loose bandages, revealing the dry fingers underneath.
Those fingers looked like Dried Meat, golden and shiny, even exuding a tempting aroma…
Lin Xun slowly took out a Baguette and the Not Slaying Demon Staff from his space, beckoning to Bandaged Ghost.
“Come a little closer; I have a big treasure to show you!”
…
A few minutes later, Lin Xun placed a basin of Dried Meat on the table of The Many Ghosts.
The basin of Dried Meat was golden and shiny, wafting an irresistible aroma that made one’s mouth water.
“This meat is free!” Lin Xun said to the Horde of Ghosts.
The Horde of Ghosts reined in their last bit of resentment.
They picked up the Dried Meat and began to chew on it.
The Dried Meat was dry yet not tough, oily but not greasy, and tasted excellent.
The only drawback was that as they ate, some fine fabric strips would come out.
But free things have no drawbacks!
…
Lin Xun walked over to the players' table.
"Why aren't you eating?"
Lin Xun asked the group who were frantically consuming SAN Value potions.
The players exchanged glances, speechless.
They had come here to replenish their Hunger Value.
Replenishing Hunger Value was also meant to restore SAN Value.
To their surprise, while their Hunger Value didn’t increase, their SAN Value plummeted.
Some players had even dropped to 61%, and if they fell any lower, they might undergo a transformation!
"Lin Xun, where have you put the Ghost Chef?" Xie Tengfei questioned Lin Xun.
In the game, players needed to replenish their Hunger Value.
They could either purchase it from the Points Mall.
However, after spending 300,000 on a demon-slaying artifact, he was left with little energy and had no extra Points to buy food.
Alternatively, they could acquire it from the Ghost Chef using gold and silver.
His wealthy status provided him with enough resources.
But now, the Ghost Chef was nowhere to be found!
