The ghost aura released from Qin Nuo's body caused the Stitg Ghost's greedy gaze to diminish signifitly. It spat out disdainfully, "Another disgusting half-rat."
Its tone was filled with disgust, as if a delieal had been tainted with filth, losing all its appeal.
Ding!
At that moment, a bus approached from afar and stopped by the bus stop. The Stitg Ghost didn't immediately board the bus.
Qin Nuo g the bus number; it was indeed 404, so he followed and got on.
There were quite a few passengers on the bus. The Stitg Ghost sat at the back, and o saw Qin Nuo board, its eyes never left him.
The other passengers all turheir gaze towards Qin Nuo as he got on, but upon seeing his arm, they quickly averted their eyes in apprehension. That was no weak ghost.
The predatory look in their eyes vanished instantly.
This situation made Qin Nuo uand a bit more.
Whether in the Horror World or the real world, Half-Ghosts pyed a special role. If the ghost they tracted with was strong, others wouldn't dare speak or even avoided them. But if the ghost was weak, they became prey.
This reminded Qin Nuo of the first time he took the ghost bus, where a mysterious man in a suit moved freely inside, and the ghosts on the bus ignored him, even feared him.
The little Half-Ghost girl at the her Springs Restaurant was even more terrifying. She crushed a ghost in front of everyone, and no ghost dared to make a sound. Even her servant could casually pull down the head of a ghost from the restaurant's sed floor, showing just how formidable she was.
To walk freely in the Horror World, capital was crucial, treating humans, Half-Ghosts, and ghosts equally.
The eleven stops felt long, with passengers ing and going, but the Stitg Ghost at the baever got off.
"Ding, the stop for her Springs Restaurant has arrived. Passengers needing to disembark, please take your belongings with you!"
"The stop is Rese Cemetery."
"The final stop for this bus is Bck Crow Ghost School!"
Hearing the annou, Qin Nuo immediately stood up. tally or not, the Stitg Ghost also got off and signed Qin Nuo's name.
"Oh, yoing to that restaurant too? They don't wele half-rats there!" the Stitg Ghost said with a cold smile.
"Perhaps, but I'm not a guest; I'm an employee there," Qin Nuo replied calmly.
The Stitg Ghost's eyes showed a strange expression, and it sneered, "The floor there is slippery, watch your step, especially when dealing with a bad-tempered er like me."
"I don't like eating half-rats, but I do enjoy tormenting them, especially tearing off the ghost on your arm."
With that, the Stitg Ghost walked into the fog ahead.
Qin Nuo squinted his eyes, " we take it down?"
"Get the ingredients, and I'll help you vent yer. I 't stand that jerk either!" the Blood-Eyed Ghost said straightforwardly, having been provoked for too long.
"Hopefully, it won't run too fast," Qin Nuo chuckled.
As the fog cleared, like yers of thin veils being peeled away, a familiar outline appeared before him.
The restaurant's stru was grand, both in size and style, unmatched by anything else. Qin Nuo's Red Moon venieore couldn't pare at all.
Business was still booming, with a stant stream of ers. The sed floor of the restaurant remained mysterious, and those who could go up were undoubtedly VIPs, enjoying higher privileges.
With more ers, fliaturally increased, some even affeg the restaurant. Yet, the her Springs Restaurant always mao suppress them, proving its strength and deep resources.
"Back again, huh."
Qin Nuo hadn't expected to return to his first instance.
"Having a position here, ing back doesn't seem inappropriate."
Pushing open the door, the first-floor dining area was almost fully occupied, making Qin Nuo feel a bit envious. When would his store have such business?
Since he was here, Qin Nuo thought he might as well experience being a er.
Recalling his time as a server, targeted by ers and chefs alike, stantly uhe threat of death, was indeed a bit embarrassing.
"Sir, are you dining with us? Please, this way."
The server, not g about Qin Nuo's identity, politely led him to a seat by the window.
After sitting down, the ghost server poured tea and water, pleting their duties before tinuing, "Please wait a moment, the server will be with you shortly."
As soon as the server left, the server arrived.
It was a young man, looking timid as he pced the menu oable, speaking stiffly, "Sir, your... menu, um, what would you like to order?"
Handing over the menu, Qin Nuo selected two on dishes: Mapo Tofu and Salted Fish Eggpnt.
The young man took the order, nodded, and turo leave.
Qin Nuo suddenly called out to him, "Hold on."
The young man fliurning back with a frightened expression, "Wh... what is it?"
Qin Nuo smiled slightly, "If you were dealing with a more temperamental er, you might be dead by now."
"After the er selects their dishes, remember to ask if they want a dessert and add a polite phrase before leaving."
"Being so careless, you won't st long."
Qin Nuo adopted an authoritative demeanor.
The young man realized his mistake, nodding quickly and sihanking him, "Thank you, thank you for the reminder."
Leaning ba his chair, Qin Nuo asked with a faint smile, "Were you forced in, or did you ehrough the login device?"
The young man was momentarily stuhen asked in astonishment, "Are you also...?"
Qin Nuo smiled calmly, "My first instance was the her Springs Restaurant."
The young man's initial demeanor and expression were exactly like Wang Yang and Liu Jiaqi's back then. Qin Nuo immediately reized him as a pyer, currently engaged in an instance game.
Hearing that he was also a pyer, the young man was both surprised and delighted, quickly responding, "We came in through the login device. Since we're almost eighteen, we were sent in early. This is my first instance."
"Then try to survive," Qin Nuo didn't say much more.
The young man looked at Qin Nuo, uo resist asking, "Brother, how did you plete this instance back then?"
"We've only been here for two days, and nearly half of us have been eliminated. After using their immunity tokens, they left the instance."
"I feel like I won't st much longer; it's too difficult," the young man's voice carried a sense of despair.
If they couldn't plete it, the curse of being forcibly sent in would persist, being an eorment for them.
Seeing his state, Qin Nuo calmly said, "If you think like that, you probably won't st until the end of the instance. I suggest you find a brick, use your immunity token, a."
"When pying this game, remember ohing: always maintain a calm mind."
"Building good retionships is the first rule. When you have good retions with the game's NPCs, you'll find that this game isn't horrifying at all. Instead, it's warm and healing, teag you many things!"
