Chapter 246
Of course, the Game would never target only Su Gou.
It secretly approached the Vampire too.
But the Vampire was asleep.
The pitch-black room was as gloomy and damp as a cellar, with a faint scent of rotting wood.
Heavy curtains blocked out every trace of sunlight.
A huge coffin stood in the middle of the room, its wooden surface covered in intricate patterns painted with gold dust.
It was eerie enough to scare any human who entered to death.
The Game did not care whether the Vampire was asleep.
[Ding!]
[New task unlocked.]
Ignoring the annoying fly buzzing in his ear, the Vampire rolled over and kept sleeping in his coffin.
This was hardly the first time the Game had seen him laze around like this.
Running a Horror Game was so hard!
Especially when all its employees were useless slackers who refused to listen.
Once again, it had to single out a certain Ghost Yun.
Still, the Game had its own way of dealing with these disobedient, short-tempered employees.
[If you complete the task obediently, I may put you and Yun Youyou in the same Instance next time.]
Without warning, the Game dangled an irresistible lure before him.
The Vampire’s tightly shut eyes snapped open.
“Really?”
His low, hoarse voice was still thick with sleep.
[Of course. I always keep my word.]
Seeing that he was tempted, the Game sweetened the deal.
[If you behave, I can even customize a special role for you. I guarantee you’ll be able to stay beside Employee 003 the entire time.]
The Vampire’s half-open puppy eyes immediately widened.
But he still did not agree right away.
[Think carefully. Opportunities this good don’t come often. If you miss this one, there may not be another.]
How could the innocent, inexperienced Vampire resist such shameless sales tactics?
He agreed without another thought.
“I’ll complete the task.”
Once he agreed, even the Game’s electronic voice sounded pleased.
[Task: You and your father have not seen each other for years. When you reunite, you resent him for ignoring you all this time. Therefore, you decide to take revenge.]
The Vampire nodded.
“I understand. I need to kill Fu Yiming, right?”
He pushed open the coffin lid and started climbing out.
If the Game had not frantically stopped him, he probably would have charged straight at Fu Yiming the next second.
[No, no, no!]
The Game’s voice warped with fright.
[New task: You decide to steal away your father’s beloved white moonlight, forcing him to spend the rest of his life suffering because his white moonlight became his daughter-in-law.]
After hearing the task, the Vampire fell silent.
Steal Father’s white moonlight = steal Ji Lin.
And in his mind, Ji Lin was a robber waiting to snatch Yun Youyou away.
The Vampire had always thought about how to drive Ji Lin off, never how to win him.
The Game watched with interest as the Vampire’s brows slowly drew together.
Amazing!
Wrecking the plot felt amazing!
The Game finally vented some of its pent-up anger.
That’s what you get for slacking off at work! I’ll make every last one of you suffer!
After assigning the task, the Game left in satisfaction.
Only the Vampire remained, sitting in his coffin and thinking hard.
He did not like Ji Lin, but he wanted to be in the same Instance as Youyou.
The Vampire found himself caught in a dilemma.
His eyelids drooped, and even his bright eyes looked listless.
After thinking for a while, he finally figured it out.
The Vampire ran his long, pale fingers across the coffin lid a few times.
The search bar displayed a glaring question: How to win a man.
After scrolling down a few times, the Vampire finally found what he wanted.
Weakness Is the Best Weapon for Seducing Men
Weak Women Have the Best Lives
108 Brilliant Ways to Win a Man
If Yun Youyou had been there, she probably would have stopped this garbage from poisoning the Vampire’s mind.
Unfortunately, Yun Youyou did not see it.
Curious, the Vampire opened one of the books.
The screen read: VIP membership required to read this book.
The Vampire pouted in distress.
A VIP membership cost two hundred currency.
The Vampire checked his account.
After agonizing for quite a while, he finally paid for the membership.
The moment he became a VIP, the Vampire was broke.
After a series of complicated steps, he could finally read the book.
Expectantly, he opened the first one.
“A woman who knows how to act spoiled will always be pampered by her man. Master the following moves, and your husband will love you so much you won’t know what to do…”
The farther the Vampire read, the wider his eyes grew.
In all his innocence, he had never seen anything so scandalous.
His untainted eyes were finally corrupted.
The Vampire read the entire book in one sitting.
An hour later.
He exhaled deeply and closed it.
Being a woman was so difficult.
But to stay with Youyou, he would keep trying.
Poor Ji Lin had no idea what an enormous “surprise” awaited him.
Fresh from his studies, the Vampire headed downstairs to practice on Ji Lin.
He looked around, but the living room was empty.
Just then, Yun Youyou came in from outside.
Seeing the Vampire’s head swivel as though he were searching for something, she helpfully approached.
“Vampy, what are you looking for?”
The Vampire answered honestly, “Ji Lin.”
Yun Youyou was surprised to hear that.
“Why are you looking for Ji Lin?”
The Vampire had never planned to hide it from her.
He was about to answer when the Game spoke.
[You may not reveal your task to anyone. Otherwise, the task will be considered a failure.]
The Vampire swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
But looking into Yun Youyou’s curious eyes, he could not bear to disappoint her.
After struggling for ages, he finally forced out a line.
“When Vampy acts coy, Ji Lin’s soul will fly.”
Yun Youyou: ???
What was that supposed to mean?
Why did the Vampire need to act coy?
Why would Ji Lin’s soul fly away?
Was he planning to switch careers and become a ghost too?
Afraid Yun Youyou would keep questioning him, the Vampire did not cling to her for once. Instead, he spun around and hurried upstairs.
Yun Youyou stood petrified in the living room.
Was Ji Lin so charming that even the Vampire could not resist him?
A while later.
Footsteps sounded upstairs.
Ji Lin was coming down for a glass of water.
After a few steps, he noticed Yun Youyou standing in the living room.
She looked dazed and muttered under her breath, as if her entire ghostly being had suffered an enormous shock.
He changed direction and walked over in concern.
Only when he drew close did Ji Lin understand what she was muttering.
“Terrifying indeed. Terrifying indeed…”
Ji Lin frowned slightly, unable to understand what she meant.
“What exactly happened?”
Yun Youyou pulled herself from her thoughts.
Looking up at Ji Lin’s handsome face, she blurted out involuntarily.
“You, sir, are truly terrifying…”
Ji Lin: ???
He could not understand what she meant.
