Chapter 4

At 8:00 PM that night, darkness fell.

I was curled up in my blankets, rolling around as I tried my best to recall the methods for dealing with the Eerie that I had read about on the forums.

Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door of my small cabin.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Who… who is it?”

8:00 PM was supposed to be safe time, and the interior of the house was a safe zone. Logically, the Eerie shouldn’t be coming to my door.

“Boss Li, I’m Song Liu, the vegetable vendor from the village entrance. I’ve brought your ingredients.”

It was a young, gentle voice that carried an involuntary, fearful tremble.

Thoughtfully, I sat up from the bed, instantly guessing that the person outside was another Player.

However, in a Horror Game, Players didn’t just have to watch out for the Eerie; they also had to be wary of their fellow participants.

After all, in this game, everyone was looking out for themselves. Human nature was unpredictable, and no one wanted to be stabbed in the back by a companion.

After the fifth knock, I threw on a jacket and swung the door open.

The person outside seemed startled. He stiffly lowered the basket from his back.

He didn’t dare look me in the eye. After taking the money for the vegetables, he quickly ran off into the distance.

This person’s behavior also seemed like that of a novice.

I silently committed Song Liu’s appearance to memory, then hauled the basket inside and locked the door.

Today’s ingredients were quite varied: mutton, squid, beef, chicken wings, corn, potatoes, green vegetables, eggplant…

With only these items, I wouldn’t be able to make Roujiamo tomorrow.

After some thought, I converted the 200 yuan Qin Xiao had paid me into Shop points and bought some seasonings.

With that, I finally had everything ready for tomorrow’s stall.
