Lin Xun rubbed his ears.
Hua Tian remained unfazed.
"Why aren't you guys talking?" Qiu Ning asked, her face filled with confusion.
Xie Tengfei had the intention of killing players, which was why she couldn't stay in Xie Tengfei's team.
However, since Lin Xun and Hua Tian had seen through Xie Tengfei's scheme, they were naturally her allies!
As allies, they should act together and unravel Xie Tengfei's plot!
"Clay Bodhisattva crosses the river, yet still wishes to save all beings?"
Lin Xun lightly tapped on the mirror in the changing room.
"Come out, I have something to ask you."
There was no response.
He knocked again.
Still no response.
Lin Xun impatiently addressed the mirror, "Killer enters the Game; it's impossible for him to become a good person. Kui Gui enters the mirror—does that mean he won't spy? The rules say that peeking will lead to death, but eavesdropping won't."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kui Gui's head popped out from the mirror.
"Speak up if you have something to say, or let it out if you need to."
The style of Kui Gui seems a bit off...
When has Kui Gui ever been this aggrieved?
Striking hard in front of other players, yet so submissive in front of Lin Xun.
"Where is Yuan Hua?"
"Dead!" Kui Gui replied irritably.
Lin Xun responded, "Impossible! The System hasn't reported any decrease in player numbers, so Yuan Hua is still alive!"
"Why ask me if you already know?"
"Where did he go?"
"You'll find out soon enough," Kui Gui answered before retreating back into the mirror.
Before disappearing completely, he added, "This time I'm really logging off!"
With that, the surroundings fell back into a deathly silence.
Qiu Ning gently tugged at Hua Tian's sleeve. "Why are Lin Xun and that ghost so familiar with each other? What’s their relationship?"
Hua Tian replied, "The relationship between the hotel front desk and the Sea King."
Qiu Ning was silent.
At that moment, the sound of a rooster crowing echoed from outside.
The crowing of a rooster signified that dawn had arrived.
The time in the Game was quite different from normal time.
According to Lin Xun's estimation, what was referred to as daytime lasted only about five hours, while nighttime lasted only about an hour.
Just then, another notification from the Game sounded.
[Warm Reminder: The first day of the Game is in novice guidance mode; the official start will be on the second day!]
[Starting from the second day, the Game will introduce Hunger Value, Stamina Value, and SAN Value.]
[The space pouch is now open; players can store items in the space pouch.]
[Free time has been canceled.]
[Note: Hunger Value and Stamina Value will directly affect SAN Value. If SAN Value reaches zero, players have a chance of becoming a Gui Wu!]
"This Game's day is way too short..." Lin Xun complained.
He opened his right hand and summoned the panel.
I am a Destitute Poet, 25 years old.
Hunger Value: 75% (I am a little hungry)
Stamina Value: 75% (I am a little tired)
SAN Value: 95% (I am fearless)
Skills: None
Note: A talented poet who achieved fame at sixteen, while an untalented poet remains unsuccessful at twenty-five.
No, I am afraid!
I have a fear of the dark!
“Kui Gui! Kui Gui, come out for a moment. Is there a cafeteria around here?”
Lin Xun shouted recklessly at the mirror.
But this time, no matter how much he yelled, Kui Gui did not appear.
“Not coming out? Are you really angry? Such a small heart?”
[What the hell, such a small heart...]
"I'm an NPC, and I'm getting angry..."
"Kui Gui: Don't come over here!"
Forget it, actually Kui Gui didn't tell Lin Xun where the cafeteria was. Later, Lin Xun could just check the sign on the first floor.
The three of them arrived on the first floor.
At this moment, everyone received instructions from the System.
Many were troubled by their low SAN Value.
Some were frantically testing the limits, teetering on the edge of passing.
For example, the pair of men and women who had been knocked out by Lin Xun.
After being knocked out, they were still sent a wooden plaque by the Ghost Servants and thrown into a room.
However, they had not woken up for the entire hour.
Thus, the ghosts in the room could do nothing to them.
An hour later, the Ghost Servants dragged them out of the room and tossed them back to their original spot.
As a result, they had no idea what had just happened.
The two of them rubbed their sore heads and slowly got up from the ground.
"What just happened?" Shui Jing Jing asked her boyfriend, looking at him with confusion.
Huang Shang rubbed his dizzy head and replied, "I don’t know either..."
At the start of the game, they had intended to join Xie Tengfei's team.
However, Xie Tengfei bore an uncanny resemblance to Huang Shang's father-in-law, which made Huang Shang feel uneasy about him.
Moreover, he was a passionate gamer who loved console games. He thought he would handle this game with ease, but who could have predicted that after spending some free time with Shui Jing Jing at the cafeteria, they would be utterly terrified upon seeing the chef chopping meat?
The chef was a robust figure, resembling a moving mountain of meat.
With swift movements, he wielded his knife, and the blade gleamed menacingly as it chopped the bones on the cutting board into pieces!
What lay on the board was half a human body, split open.
The chef started by chopping off the head.
With a swift stroke, half a head rolled off and wobbled to their feet. After that, everything became a blur for him...
It wasn't until now that he finally regained his senses.
With the introduction of Hunger Value and Stamina Value, players were compelled to eat.
There were two ways to obtain food. The first was to purchase it from the Points Mall.
However, the prices for food were exorbitant, making it unaffordable for ordinary players.
The second option was the cafeteria in the Brothel.
【The First Floor Canteen will open in five minutes. Please make your way to the cafeteria for dining.】
The Game prompted players to head to the cafeteria.
But knowing the Game's tendencies, it was highly likely that there would be some trickery involved!
Lin Xun pondered for a moment before entering the Cowherd's room. Shortly after, he emerged and stood by the sign at the entrance of the Brothel.
He waved to Hua Tian, who quickly followed behind Lin Xun.
Five minutes later, the rooms on the first floor opened.
Countless Courtesans and male attendants emerged from the rooms, yawning as they did so.
Of course, most of them had peculiar appearances.
This group ignored the players and surged toward a specific location.
"Let's go!" Lin Xun said to Hua Tian.
The door that had been locked was opened by the leader, Gui Wu.
Behind it was a small courtyard, in which stood a Small House. Outside the Small House lay a collection of white, eerie Ox-Head and Sheep-Bone, looking quite frightening.
Two long tables were set up outside the Small House.
The Gui Wu members filled one of the tables completely.
The other table, however, was completely empty.
Clearly, this table was prepared for the players.
Lin Xun was the first to sit at that table.
Xie Tengfei glanced over and thought—sure enough, he's a bit of a fool!
Seeing Lin Xun take a seat, the other players also settled down.
Another group of players remained in the First Floor Hall.
Once the other players were seated, Lin Xun finally relaxed his tense posture and sat back in his chair.
Inside the Small House, there was a clattering sound as the door swung open.
A portly chef, bare-chested and covered in flesh, stepped out from the room.
The chef was bare-chested, wearing only a pair of flesh-colored patterned leather pants. Upon closer inspection, the pants were made from countless human faces, with dozens of twisted visages stitched together to form his trousers.
The most tormented face was positioned over his groin.
The chef's body was flabby, swaying like a water-filled sack.
In his two hands, he held a cast-iron pot.
With the other two hands, he wielded a kitchen knife in one and a ladle in the other.
The large pot on his chest bubbled continuously with simmering meat broth...
The Ghost Chef appeared very friendly.
As the aroma of the meat wafted through the air, everyone’s stomachs began to growl.
Lin Xun's Hunger Value dropped from 75% to 70%.
Ghost Servants placed white porcelain bowls in front of the players and Gui Wu, while the Ghost Chef ladled out the broth from the pot, filling each bowl before them.
