I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game
Chapter 56: Position Panel, Player Level!"I don't know," Li Tongtong and Yuan Shan both shook their heads.
"Boss, are you going to personally go and demand justice? That's so cool!"
"No," Qin Nuo shook his head.
The other party was definitely not someone small, and he was just an ordinary person. Going alone? He wasn't that foolish.
Ghosts in the Horror World were never friendly to humans.
The same went for Half-Ghosts.
The Blood-Eyed Ghost, that weakling, couldn't protect him.
That's what Qin Nuo thought.
If he said it out loud, the Blood-Eyed Ghost would probably retort, "Are you being polite?"
"Oh," Li Tongtong and Yuan Shan were a bit disappointed. Without a supplier, what should they do?"Ding, detecting issues with the Red Moon Convenience Store. It is suggested that the Host unlock the employee module."
"Employee module?" Qin Nuo was taken aback. There was such a thing?
"Based on the current positions at Red Moon Convenience Store, the missing positions include Deputy Manager, Janitor, and Delivery Driver."
"Unlocking the Deputy Manager position can automatically find suppliers, formulate more comprehensive operational plans, and manage staff."
Qin Nuo's eyes lit up instantly.
Professional matters should be handled by professional ghosts.
With this Deputy Manager, he could be a hands-off boss, just collecting and losing money each month. Isn't that great?
"Unlock!" Without even looking at the price, Qin Nuo directly instructed the system to unlock it.
"Insufficient level, unlock failed."
"System level?" Qin Nuo asked.
"Player level."
"The Host's current player level is Level 2. To unlock the 'Deputy Manager' position, Level 3 is required."
"Hint: Completing a set of C-level or higher instances can raise you to Level 3."
Qin Nuo suddenly understood.
No wonder he saw many items in the system store that couldn't be purchased, grayed out. It turned out he didn't have enough levels to unlock them.
"Boss, have you thought of a solution?" Li Tongtong asked.
"Of course, with the boss's connections, finding a supplier is just a matter of a word!" Yuan Shan flattered.
Qin Nuo glanced at him, somewhat speechless.
The boy with the baby face thought it was a look of approval from the boss and scratched his head, laughing twice.
"Give me some time, I'll solve this problem."
"In the meantime, continue operating. I'll cover the losses later," Qin Nuo said.
He really didn't have the energy to go through another instance right now.
The Bloodstained Apartment instance had almost drained him.
At least he should return to the real world and rest for a bit.
After leaving the instance, staying in the Horror World, the time ratio was 1:1. If he didn't go back soon, his sister might think he was dead.
Returning to the real world and seeing his own black-and-white photo would be awkward!
Although it wasn't resolved, Qin Nuo's words inexplicably reassured Li Tongtong and Yuan Shan, who nodded obediently.
"Busy with work, I'll be off now," Qin Nuo waved his hand.
"Take care, Boss!"
The two employees saw Qin Nuo out of the store, watching his figure disappear at the end.
"The new boss is really nice and reliable. He's my type, but unfortunately, he's a Half-Ghost, sigh!" Li Tongtong lamented.
Yuan Shan said, "Don't regret it. We need to work seriously these days."
"The stricter the boss, the more likely he'll fire us if he catches us slacking off!" Yuan Shan said.
"Ah, getting fired, I don't want to use newspapers as a pillow and sleep on the streets!"
Yuan Shan ignored her, went to the shelves, and started stocking goods, checking expiration dates.
Li Tongtong was about to return to the front desk when she suddenly stopped.
Outside the store, a drowned ghost, dripping wet and covered in moss, was walking in.
"Little girl, I'm starving. Can you give me something to eat, or even half a stick of incense, please..."
Under the soaked long hair, a pair of eyeless sockets, only whites showing, the voice croaked from the throat, almost inaudible.
"No, go away," Li Tongtong replied, turning to leave.
The water ghost froze for a moment, then its face twitched, collapsing like dough on one side.
A large amount of water flowed from its body, spreading out, the ground melting visibly.
"No? Then I'll eat you!"
The drowned ghost's voice was sharp and vicious, terrifying ghost aura erupting from its hunched body.
Once weak and dying, now it lunged like a frenzied, red-eyed beast!
However, a small, pale hand pressed the drowned ghost back to its place.
Li Tongtong's innocent face was filled with coldness, her eyes gradually turning crimson: "I said, no."
The drowned ghost's pupils contracted, struggling to speak: "I understand, I'll just..."
Before it could finish, the small hand squeezed, and the drowned ghost's body was crushed into a mass of blood and mud, as if by a hydraulic press.
The floor was stained red.
The red carpet became even redder.
But in Li Tongtong's eyes, these liquids were filthy.
Li Tongtong showed a troubled expression: "Oh no, I've dirtied the boss's new carpet. He's going to kill me!"
Saying this, Li Tongtong turned and ran back into the store to get cleaning tools.
...
"System, return to the real world," Qin Nuo said.
As soon as he spoke, his whole body was enveloped in light, and with a sense of weightlessness, the scene before him quickly blurred.
Boom!!
When the weightlessness disappeared and the scene cleared again, Qin Nuo was already sitting at his desk.
On the desk was a photo of him and his sister.
The room hadn't changed at all, even the glass of water he left on the desk before entering the instance was still there, untouched.
Qin Nuo knew that the ten days of torment.
In the real world, only a day had passed.
"I wonder how my sister is doing. She probably didn't sleep a wink last night."
Qin Nuo got up and walked out of the room.
Before he reached the living room, he heard his sister and Wang Xun's voices.
"Little Xun, think carefully, there must be a way to enter the game and save my brother, right?" Qin Yushi held Wang Xun's hand, asking repeatedly.
Though it had only been a day, Qin Yushi's spirit had noticeably deteriorated, exhaustion written all over her face.
Wang Xun, though reluctant, still said.
"Sorry, Yushi, once we enter the game, we can't interfere. It's up to the player..."
She paused, trying to encourage Qin Yushi to be strong, "But your brother managed to come out of a forced entry horror game. With the protection mechanism in a horror game, he can definitely come out too!"
"So, you have to trust your brother!"
"It's because I know him that I'm worried."
"The first instance, he managed to come back, probably used up all his luck!"
"He's so dumb, how could he come back on his own?" Qin Yushi cried.
This made Qin Nuo, who was behind the wall, feel extremely awkward.
Is this really my sister?
Who talks about their brother like this?
Qin Nuo cleared his throat twice, walked out from the corridor, pretending he hadn't heard anything, and smiled, "Hey, sis, I'm back!"
