Xu Si had died five times.
She thought she would be panicked, but in fact, she was calmer than ever before. Her brain rationally analyzed all the information she obtained, attempting to find clues.
She didn’t look like a novice player at all, but rather like a veteran of the Survival Game for many years.
The System couldn’t help saying to the “high authority” Jiang Ning: [ Her heart is beating fast, but her brain can still remain so calm, as if her body and mind are separated. It’s too strange. ]
Jiang Ning nodded and started eating sunflower seeds. Watching Xu Si’s every move in Reincarnation, she commented, “She’s about to clear the level.”
The System was puzzled.
Why? Xu Si doesn’t seem to have made much progress. There is still a long way to go before clearing.
[ Hasn’t she found the cause of death yet? ]
Jiang Ning: “The cause of death is right in front of her. She’s about to discover it.”
“She is too calm. Even Wuyi can’t do anything to her.”
In fact, Wuyi only successfully killed Xu Si twice. After that, it never worked on her again.
Just like the System said, Xu Si’s body and brain had separated.
This made Jiang Ning worry a little. Did I drive her crazy?
She tilted her head, saw Xu Si pick up the key clue, and shook her head again.
No. Humans nowadays should be stronger than I thought. Besides, my game dungeon isn’t scary, Jiang Ning thought without a shred of self-awareness.
Half an hour later, Xu Si successfully cleared the level.
There was no expression of joy on her face, as if everything was destined. Only when she obtained the ability did a hint of surprise flash across her face.
The System was arranged to announce the clearance rewards, reading the script Jiang Ning gave it expressionlessly and without emotion.
A mechanical voice sounded in Xu Si’s ear.
[ In this challenge, you have obtained a total of 4508 points. They have been transferred to your mailbox. Please check your mailbox in time. ]
Xu Si asked, “What can points do?”
[ Points can be used to purchase items in the Game Mall. ]
After saying this sentence, the System disappeared.
No matter how Xu Si called, it didn’t appear again.
She had to find the System Mall alone and browse the items inside.
Most items were very expensive; the zeros on them were prices she couldn’t afford.
Xu Si skipped the things she couldn’t afford and suppressed her desire to look at others.
Suddenly, a short product description caught her eye.
Key of Synesthesia: Transfer what happened to you within 24 hours and all feelings vaguely to the person whose name is on the key (can briefly share abilities).
The price of the Key of Synesthesia was 4500 points.
Xu Si clicked purchase without hesitation and wrote Xu Kai’s name on this key that had small fangs growing on it.
Looks a bit creepy.
Xu Si suppressed the eerie feeling in her heart and looked firmly into the distance.
I hope this thing is really useful.
She relaxed, and everything that happened in the dungeon finally surfaced in her mind. Fear kicked in, and tears fell drop by drop.
“Si Si, come out for a late-night snack. Mom cooked some noodles.”
Her mother’s gentle voice came from outside.
“Ah, coming.”
Xu Si raised her hand to wipe away her tears, checked in the mirror to make sure she was okay, and then went downstairs.
Xu Si’s joy and sorrow were unknown to others.
The System reported the Heartbeat Points income from this Reincarnation dungeon to Jiang Ning, its tone a bit excited: [ Ningning, establishing a dungeon was indeed right. After deducting the reward given to Xu Si, the net income of this dungeon is 45,689 Heartbeat Points. ]
Over forty thousand Heartbeat Points wasn’t much compared to what Jiang Ning got in this Urban Legend, but one must know that this would become a stable income in the future!
And this was just the beginning.
Jiang Ning would eventually save enough Heartbeat Points to continuously create new dungeons and new terrifying Urban Legends.
One person brought over forty thousand. What about ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand?
Jiang Ning’s game dungeon wasn’t like only one person could enter at a time.
Just like single-player games—there was no single-player game in the world that only one person could play.
Jiang Ning was not surprised by this result.
There were over a hundred thousand Heartbeat Points in her account now.
The people here had been scared to the breaking point. If it continued, they might suffer a mental breakdown.
Jiang Ning didn’t intend to drive people to madness.
“Take them back to rest, and prepare some late-night snacks.”
Jiang Ning felt she was being considerate. “Let them eat before sleeping.”
Eat what?
Who eats?
The people who heard this shuddered violently.
Is this ghost finally revealing its true purpose?
Making us eat disgusting things, or making us the ghost’s late-night snack?
The real ghosts looked confused but didn’t think too much.
Isn’t Jiang Ning going to eat these people?
But they dared not refute Jiang Ning. Didn’t they see that the cafeteria lady who objected last time was now gone without a trace?
Ghosts also knew to bully the weak and fear the strong.
They agreed meekly, suppressed their appetites, and drove this group of overly frightened humans back to their dormitory building.
Jiang Ning walked slowly toward her office.
As she walked, she wondered what human foods she hadn’t tried yet.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw three people inside looking at her as if startled.
What the hell?
This is her territory.
Jiang Ning had forgotten that she was “occupying the magpie’s nest” and completely treated this office as her temporary residence, feeling a bit depressed.
Seeing Jiang Ning suddenly come in, Xu Kai’s eyes widened in confusion and fright. He feared and dreaded Jiang Ning, providing her with ding-donging shock values upon meeting.
Lu Lu stood up, holding her ground, secretly observing the BOSS of this dungeon.
Bai Qianqiu stood in the corner, her hand resting unobtrusively on the dagger at her waist.
Jiang Ning’s gaze fell on the two people who shouldn’t be here, looking chilly.
Afraid Jiang Ning would go crazy and eat Lu Lu and Bai Qianqiu, Xu Kai summoned his courage to attract Jiang Ning’s attention. “Um… we peeled all the walnuts. Do you want to eat them?”
His mood was terrified and uneasy, yet inexplicably, strangely calm. Occasionally, he felt as if he were split into two people, each with a distinct mood, with fear currently in the majority.
Jiang Ning ignored Xu Kai.
She stated the fact: “You entered my office without my permission.”
The atmosphere in the room instantly tightened.
Lu Lu and Bai Qianqiu tensed up, ready to deal with Jiang Ning’s outburst.
However, Jiang Ning did nothing but look at them with her dark eyes.
“Sorry, we will apologize.” Thinking of Xu Kai, who was still alive but peeling walnuts, Lu Lu probed, “As an apology gift, is there anything you need us to do?”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning’s expression improved a bit.
These humans are quite sensible.
She told Lu Lu and Bai Qianqiu her latest idea: “I want to eat milk tea and cake tomorrow morning.”
The medical record showed that these two people had been chefs, so they should know how to make these things.
Consider it the lodging fee.
After speaking, she went into the lounge to sleep in a good mood.
Leaving the three people looking at each other.
They escaped a disaster, but didn’t feel the relief of survival.
Instead, they felt the danger was still ahead.
Milk tea and cake?
This ghost’s hobby is really special.
Milk tea was okay, but cake, a high-tech item, few people knew how to make.
They all felt Jiang Ning was deliberately making things difficult, just waiting for them to fail so she could use the rules to kill them.
Bai Qianqiu asked Lu Lu first, “Can you do it?”
Lu Lu shook her head. “I only learned egg fried rice in a small restaurant. My brother used to cook for me.”
After her brother was gone, she just ate whatever outside or simply didn’t eat.
Bai Qianqiu fell silent. “I made Crucian Carp Tofu Soup in a restaurant Urban Legend.”
The two looked at Xu Kai.
Xu Kai touched his head. “I… I only know how to eat.” He could tell if a cake was good in one bite.
What now?
The three people present fell into deep thought.
Xu Kai: “What happens if we don’t make it?”
Lu Lu: “You dare not listen to a ghost?”
Bai Qianqiu: “Don’t give her an excuse to eat you.”
Xu Kai: QAQ Okay, I was wrong.
