Qin Che's vision suddenly went black, and when his sight returned, he found himself in a small room.
"This should be the Staff Dormitory," Qin Che surveyed the room, which was less than ten square meters.
The room was simple: one bed, one quilt, one pillow, and one Cabinet.
"It's quite clean, though. No blood, no corpses, nothing like what the internet said. It's not scary at all."
Qin Che opened the Cabinet door, changed into a red Service Uniform, adjusted the bow tie at his neck while looking in the mirror, and then sneered, "Damn, I look handsome!"
"Oh, looking quite presentable."
The mirror on the Cabinet door suddenly revealed a mouth full of sharp teeth, offering a compliment.
Qin Che had absolutely no defense and was startled so badly his body shook.
"What the heck?"
"Are you done looking? Close the door if you are. If you disturb my Sleep, I'll eat you alive!" the Mirror Ghost cursed, and the Cabinet door automatically closed.
Qin Che raised an eyebrow.
The sudden fright just now felt like when you are running down a school corridor, turn a corner, and someone suddenly scares you.
After recovering, Qin Che actually found it quite interesting. At least when he was bored alone, he had a ghost to chat with.
It really is the warm game mode! It even solved the problem of boredom during the game.
At that moment, a voice came from the corridor outside the door.
"Clocking in for Work starts now. The clock-in location is at the statue in the Lobby. One Point will be deducted for every second late. If your clock-out Points are below 20, you will be punished."
Qin Che started, and a countdown number suddenly appeared in his vision.
Three minutes left.
Qin Che didn't have time to think and rushed out the door.
Six or seven other people wearing Service Uniforms also rushed out on the same floor; they must be Players too.
The Staff Dormitory was on the 13th Floor, and employees could only use the Elevator in the Staff passage.
The Elevator must already be packed, so Qin Che charged toward the stairs without hesitation.
With sparks flying and lightning flashing, Qin Che arrived at the hotel Lobby just in time and placed his hand on the statue.
"Clock-in successful, prepare to welcome a wonderful day!"
A sweet voice sounded in Qin Che's mind.
Looking at the number dropping to zero, Qin Che noticed there were over twenty people at the statue.
At that moment, a man dressed in a Black-clothed Steward uniform approached the group.
Qin Che clearly saw that half of the flesh and blood around his neck had been hollowed out, as if gnawed by a wild beast. Even though his black bow tie covered it, the pale white spine inside still reflected a cold white light.
"Let me see how many more pests are arriving."
Saying this, the Steward clasped his hands behind his back and looked toward the Staff passage.
Soon after, the rest of the employees arrived one after another.
At this time, another number appeared in Qin Che's vision: 0.
He assumed this must be the game Points.
The Steward looked coldly at everyone: "Your only goal is to earn Good reviews from Guests. Reviews are categorized as Bad review, Medium review, Good review, and Super Surprise. A Bad review deducts 5 Points, a Medium review earns 1 Point, a Good review earns 3 Points, and a Super Surprise earns 5 Points."
"Of course, receiving a Bad review also comes with the consequence of bearing the Guest's wrath, so work hard, you pests."
As soon as the words fell, the door of the Afterlife Hotel burst open, and an alert Service waiter immediately put on a smile and approached.
Qin Che didn't move, just stood in place, wearing a smile.
"There are forty-two Service waiters in total, but there are one hundred Players in the game, which means some Players were sent to other parts of the Afterlife Hotel."
"That Black-clothed Steward seems quite familiar with some people; those few shouldn't be Players, but rather long-time employees here."
The hints for this game were vague, only saying to maintain good relationships with Guests, but not how to do so.
Moreover, the Guests here were all ghosts, and one wrong move could cost him his life.
But luckily, when gathering earlier, Qin Che memorized the faces of a few old employees. As long as he watched how they served Guests, he could mimic them.
Qin Che remained standing in the Lobby with a smile, memorizing their scripts and gestures for serving Guests.
"Ding—"
"Favorability +5 from Mosiah."
Qin Che was stunned, then suddenly overjoyed.
So, the voice that suddenly sounded when he was teleported to the Thriller World earlier was this.
Immediately after, he looked around and saw a woman in a red dress smiling at him, even extending her hand in greeting.
The woman's face was as aged as deadwood, covered in wrinkles, her skin sagging like that of a very old person nearing the end of their years.
But her figure was exceptionally hot.
Her body curves were extremely graceful, like a perfect work of art.
Qin Che was shocked by this highly contrasting woman, but he assumed she must be Mosiah.
It's over! I've been targeted by a bad woman!
She is a ghost, and I am a human; we are destined not to love each other!
But... for the sake of Points!
Qin Che gritted his teeth and walked toward the woman.
"Hello, beautiful lady, how may I assist you?"
Mosiah didn't speak, merely extended one finger to lift Qin Che's chin, secretly slipping a Door Card into his hand with the other, then murmured, "Come to my room tonight."
Qin Che looked at the wrinkled face, gritted his teeth, and forced himself to say, "No problem, ma'am."
"Heh heh—"
Mosiah laughed, extended a finger to play with Qin Che's lips, toyed with him for a while, then dropped a parting line, "Waiting for you," before turning and leaving.
She swayed her body; the curve of her hips was flawless, but on her exposed back, there was a deep ravine, scarlet inside, and Qin Che could even see her Heart.
Qin Che instantly felt his scalp tingle and shivered violently.
"Do Female Ghosts also like to keep Gigolos?"
He put the Door Card clenched in his hand into his pocket.
Just then, a deep voice suddenly rang out: "Get lost, pest!"
Qin Che immediately lowered his head: "Sorry, Sir."
The person turned back to glance at Qin Che, and a cold look emanated from his bandaged face: "Next time, I'll kill you."
Qin Che's Heart pounded wildly.
The pressure the bandaged man exerted was too intense; just one look made Qin Che's back sweat, giving him the feeling of being close to death.
After recovering slightly, Qin Che returned to the Lobby; there weren't many Guests checking in anymore.
Qin Che then remembered his Golden Finger—a black Rose Mark suddenly appeared on his palm.
He stared at the black Rose, and suddenly, some information flooded his mind.
Relationship, Shopping Mall, Lottery Center, My Industry.
With a thought, Qin Che opened the Relationship panel, and the name Mosiah appeared prominently.
Following the name was Favorability: One Star.
Qin Che looked at the faintly glowing name, and with a mental nudge, an information panel popped up.
【Mosiah:
Afterlife Hotel Permanent Resident Member. She is a tragic figure; at the age of 20...】
The Character Information stopped there, followed by a line of text.
【When Favorability reaches Three Stars, the complete version of Mosiah's Character Information can be unlocked】
"Damn it!"
This was exactly like those online movie previews—they force you to subscribe, and this one forces you to increase Favorability.
Qin Che sighed, looked down at his Brother, felt immense fear surge in his heart, and his expression became extremely conflicted.
"Sigh."
