Chapter 19

Chapter 19

On the way back, the three of them drove the sports car ostentatiously.

Each of them carried several bags, large and small, as the group made quite an entrance marching into the villa.

The trio was making quite a scene.

Wang Weiye poked his head out of his room, glanced down, and let out a disdainful snort.

“Just as I thought-a bunch of brainless kids. Death is knocking at the door, and they’re still in the mood to go shopping.”

Tao Jinran had originally intended to put the food in the communal kitchen on the first floor for everyone to share.

Hearing Wang Weiye’s words, she immediately turned her head away and, with a cold expression, decided to take everything to her own room instead.

Someone like him didn’t deserve to eat the things she had worked so hard to carry back.

As Yun Youyou passed by Wang Weiye, she drawled, “The uglier the person, the more they talk.”

Shamate was even more direct, brandishing a fist at him.

“Shut your damn mouth!”

Wang Weiye only dared to bully the young girls; the moment he faced a thug like Shamate, he shut his mouth and scurried back into his room.

Before leaving, Yun Youyou shot Shamate a look.

“Come to my room tonight.”

Shamate froze for a moment, then quickly crossed his arms over his chest, looking at Yun Youyou in horror.

“I’m a man of principle! I sell my talents, not my body!”

Yun Youyou rolled her eyes hard. “Suit yourself.”

With that, she walked away.

Night fell.

Shamate agonized in his room for a while before finally deciding to go up.

He even took a shower beforehand, arriving at Yun Youyou’s room smelling fresh and fragrant.

The moment Yun Youyou opened the door, she was hit by a strong scent.

She looked up to see Shamate wrapped in a bathrobe, standing at the door with a bashful expression.

Yun Youyou: “…”

She even started to wonder if she actually had some unsavory intentions.

With a dark expression, Yun Youyou watched Shamate fidgeting at the door.

“Get in.”

Shamate entered the room shyly and sat on the sofa, looking rather constrained.

He clutched his bathrobe tightly. “It’s… it’s my first time. Please… be gentle.”

Yun Youyou: “…”

She had never been so speechless in her life.

Her face darkened as she looked down at Shamate.

“Heh, you wish. Get those dirty thoughts out of your head right now.”

Realization dawned on Shamate. “Oh, so you weren’t trying to proposition me?”

He had thought Yun Youyou was hinting for him to offer up his virtue.

Yun Youyou nearly rolled her eyes again. “I called you here to ask about the NPCs.”

“NPCs? What NPCs? I’m just an ordinary Player.”

Yun Youyou caught his shifting gaze instantly and gave a fake smile. “Stop pretending. I can already smell the ghostly aura on you.”

Since Yun Youyou said that, it meant she was also an NPC in the Game.

Shamate let down his guard and breathed a sigh of relief.

It would have been more troublesome if Yun Youyou were a Player. Since she was a ghost too, it was much better.

Shamate shrugged helplessly. “I don’t know anything more than you do. The Game didn’t even tell me the background of this Instance. I don’t even know who the Boss is.”

He glanced at Yun Youyou again. “I thought you were so strong you’d be a mini-Boss or something. I didn’t expect you to be a bit player like me.”

Yun Youyou frowned slightly. “Then how do I get a promotion and a raise to reach the pinnacle of life?”

“It’s simple. The more Instances you participate in, the more Experience Points you gain. Then you can level up and go to higher-level Instances.”
“You can go scare the players more; the more terrified they are, the more Experience Points you’ll gain.”

So that was it!

Yun Youyou’s mood instantly became excited. “Let’s go. We’re going to scare them right now.”

Shamate was stunned by Yun Youyou’s “let’s go” attitude.

“Aren’t you afraid they’ll discover your true identity?”

Although these players didn’t look very strong, they surely had some life-saving means; otherwise, they wouldn’t have survived until now.

“Don’t worry, I have a way.”

The two of them slipped silently into Wang Weiye’s room.

As soon as they entered, they could hear the rise and fall of snoring.

Shamate curiously followed Yun Youyou to the side of Wang Weiye’s bed.

How was she going to scare him?

Was she going to dress up as a female ghost and sit at the foot of the bed combing her hair, or float on the ceiling and drip blood onto his face?

While Shamate was still thinking about how to scare him, Yun Youyou had already pulled out a suona from somewhere.

A suona!?

Shamate was completely shocked. He mouthed to Yun Youyou, “Where did you get a suona?”

Yun Youyou also mouthed back, “I picked it up at the mall today.”

Shamate: “???”

Who would just pick up a suona at a mall?

Then Yun Youyou pulled out a pair of brass cymbals and handed them to Shamate.

“In a moment, I’ll count three-two-one, and you strike them hard.”

Shamate looked at the two round brass plates in his hands and fell into a deep silence. Was she trying to form an orchestra?

When a ghost lives long enough, they can encounter all sorts of bizarre things.

Yun Youyou silently counted down: three, two, one.

She blew into the suona with all her might.

Shamate struck the cymbals together with force.

The high-pitched, resonant sound of the suona and the deafening “bang” of the cymbals made Wang Weiye jump up from the bed.

He stood on the bed, looking around blankly, his heart still pounding wildly.

What on earth was that sound just now?

Still shaken, Wang Weiye walked around the room, but he found nothing.

Could it be that he was hallucinating?

Wang Weiye had already begun to doubt himself.

As for the true culprits, they had long since hidden themselves.

Shamate was just like Wang Weiye, looking at Yun Youyou with lingering fear.

This female ghost was actually this terrifying!

He had thought Yun Youyou intended to use a mental attack by dressing up as a ghost to scare others, but he didn’t expect her to use a physical attack.

Too terrifying! Too terrifying!!

That loud noise just now-forget humans, even a ghost would be scared half to death.

Wang Weiye circled the room and found nothing.

The few hairs on his head were soaked with sweat, sticking miserably to his forehead.

At first, his nerves were still a bit tense.

But as time passed, his eyelids began to close involuntarily again.

The moment his snoring started again, Yun Youyou gave Shamate a signal.

“Go!”

The two of them instantly rushed to Wang Weiye’s side.

When the suona sounds, life and death are uncertain.

The piercing sound of the suona directly penetrated Wang Weiye’s entire head.

His heart stopped for a moment, and he woke up with rapid breaths.

“Who is it! Who exactly is it!”

He walked barefoot on the floor, patrolling the room suspiciously.

However, he was destined not to find out who the prankster was.

Wang Weiye also realized this.

He retreated tremblingly, his voice shaking. “There’s a ghost! There’s a ghost here!”

This suspicion scared Wang Weiye himself half to death.

He opened the door and ran outside frantically.
