Chapter 159
Su Gou still refused to give up.
“None of that is a problem.”
Yun Youyou continued to refuse. “No. We really aren’t compatible.”
Su Gou persisted. “How aren’t we compatible? I think we’re a great match!”
Yun Youyou asked, “In what way?”
Su Gou said, “Gender.”
“…”
Put that way, she truly had nothing to say.
Yun Youyou fell silent for a moment. “Buddy, are you trying to force me to get a sex change?”
Su Gou said, “How can you put it like that? If you get together with me, the problem is solved.”
This was Yun Youyou’s first time experiencing a confession that felt like a forced sale.
Yun Youyou said, “But I fall for every handsome guy I see. I’m a fickle woman, and men are only passing visitors in my life. So please give up.”
Su Gou said, “The law requires monogamy. Stop while you still can and just get together with me.”
Yun Youyou said, “That’s the law of the living. What does it have to do with a ghost from the land of the dead?”
“…”
Su Gou choked. For once, he truly had no way to deal with Yun Youyou.
While he stood frozen and speechless, Yun Youyou seized the opportunity to flee the Instance.
She made a show of checking the nonexistent watch on her wrist.
“It’s time for my next shift. I have to get to work. Bye!”
Before Yun Youyou even finished the last word, she vanished behind a flash of white light.
Even if Su Gou wanted to stop her, it was already too late. He could only watch her disappear.
Shamate and Red-haired Trendy Guy still had not left.
They had been enjoying the gossip immensely. Even the Game lingered for ages to watch the drama.
With malicious delight, it thought that next time, it could secretly match Yun Youyou and Su Gou into the same Instance.
Red-haired Trendy Guy walked over and patted Su Gou on the shoulder.
“Young man, I admire your courage. You actually dared to confess to Sister Yun. If you two really get together, you’d better watch out for domestic violence. And with Sister Yun, I doubt there’ll be such a thing as a breakup, only bereavement.”
Shamate came over too. “Even dying won’t help you. Sister Yun hits ghosts even harder.”
Su Gou glanced at the two gloating ghosts, then suddenly looked behind them.
“Why did you come back?”
Shamate and Red-haired Trendy Guy instantly went rigid.
What was going on?
Had Sister Yun not left?
It was over. They were doomed!
The two ghosts hurriedly spun around. “Sister Yun, we really weren’t saying anything bad about you! This is all a misunderstanding…”
Huh?
There was no one behind them. Not even half a ghost.
They had been tricked!
By the time they realized it, Su Gou was already walking away in the other direction.
His roommates had also been watching the show from nearby.
When Su Gou came over, Lin Haomiao hurried forward to mock him.
“Hahahaha… Your confession got rejected, huh? You’re still too young. One of these days, I’ll teach you a few secrets of romance.”
Su Gou walked past without saying a word.
Then, as though he had remembered something, Su Gou came back.
He glanced at Lin Haomiao, bent down, and tore up a handful of grass.
Lin Haomiao found his behavior baffling and stared blankly from the side.
Su Gou silently scattered the grass over Lin Haomiao’s head.
“Hey! What are you doing?”
Lin Haomiao quickly stepped back and brushed the grass from his hair.
Su Gou gave him a sympathetic look, as if the grass on his head said it all, and delivered his verdict.
“You’ve been cheated on.”
Lin Haomiao: ?
Cheated on?
He’d been cheated on?
Lin Haomiao’s eyes widened. He followed Su Gou in disbelief.
“Explain yourself! How have I been cheated on? Hurry up and tell me!”
The NPCs and Players had all left the Instance, which now waited for the next group of Players to enter.
Only after Yun Youyou returned to her little cabin did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
[Congratulations to Employee 003 for successfully completing the Instance mission. You have earned 600 Experience Points and acquired the new titles “Heaven-and-Earth-Ravaging Sunflower” and “Underworld Sunflower Loves No Living Man.”]
Yun Youyou could still understand the first title, more or less. But the second one was a little…
She felt the Game was abusing its authority for personal revenge.
Still, she genuinely had a question.
“What happens if an NPC and a Player really get together? Would you tear the lovebirds apart?”
The Game considered it.
[If the Player can come work here, we’ll support the relationship. If the Player can’t work here, we’ll kill him and have him come work afterward.]
Yun Youyou: “…”
Even capitalists would weep when they heard that.
How had they never thought of such a criminally brilliant method?
Compared with the capitalists of the Ghost Realm, those in the land of the living truly fell short.
After chatting with the Game for a while, Yun Youyou casually opened the employee profile she had not checked in ages.
[Account Holder: Staff No. 003, Yun Youyou.]
[Titles Acquired: Lie Flat Victory, Hide-and-Seek Expert, Chainsaw Maniac, Peerless Fierce Ghost with Miraculous Healing Hands, Toilet Profiteer, Food Poisoning Maker…]
[Staff Level: Level Six (Ordinary Staff). Experience Points: 200/800.]
Last time, the Game had stingily given her only 300 Experience Points. This time was slightly better, but it was still only 600.
This lousy Game was unbelievably cheap.
Yun Youyou closed the Game panel and began singing as though the thought had only just occurred to her.
“Please don’t pinch every penny, our paychecks need those pennies…”
The Game: […]
It pretended not to hear. As a capitalist, it needed to know when to be deaf and when to be mute.
The Game quietly withdrew.
Yun Youyou sang for a long while without hearing another sound from it.
Hmph. That stingy old monster had definitely slipped away in secret.
Yun Youyou had finally gotten some rare time off.
Like every young internet addict, she lay in bed playing with her Light Brain.
Yun Youyou, Doctor Lan, and the others had made a group chat that also included Nurse Fang.
Nurse Yun, Nurse Fang, and Doctor Lan had formed a medical chat group called Medical Squad.
It sounded very respectable.
Fang Yu thought the name was hopelessly old-fashioned and asked Yun Youyou to come up with a new one.
Yun Youyou proposed several choices for everyone to vote on.
“Chainsaws Go Brrr, Patients Go Whee!”
“Big Syringes Make Pee Spray: One Squirt Cures All!”
“Frequent Urination, Urgent Urination, Incomplete Urination? Don’t Worry, It’s Infertility!”
After Fang Yu read them: “…”
She announced that the original name was perfectly fine. So what if it sounded old-fashioned? Too much style might cause a seizure.
Yun Youyou found that deeply regrettable.
She had worked so hard to come up with those excellent names.
In the end, Doctor Lan devised a good solution.
On Monday and Tuesday, they would be called Chainsaws Go Brrr, Patients Go Whee! On Wednesday and Thursday, Big Syringes Make Pee Spray: One Squirt Cures All! On Friday and Saturday, Infertility. And on Sunday, Medical Squad.
Unfortunately, everyone was too lazy to change the name.
As a result, no matter what day of the week it was, the group was always called Chainsaws Go Brrr, Patients Go Whee!
