“It’s Su Yin.”
“Why did she come down here?”
As soon as the woman appeared, the surrounding chatter quieted, and no one dared to bid any higher.
Su Yin ranked tenth in the livestream popularity rankings. Coupled with her devastatingly beautiful face, her popularity was through the roof.
Seeing that the others had backed off, Qing Li’s eyes curved into crescent moons as she cheerfully announced, “30 million, deal.”
She tossed the key to Su Yin. The woman curled her red lips into a smile and lazily threw her own room key to Qing Li. “I don’t need this room anymore. Consider it a gift.”
Not all players’ rooms were the same. After acquiring a room, players could use their popularity points to furnish it or expand its size.
If Qing Li’s room was like an unfinished apartment, then Su Yin’s room was akin to a luxurious villa. Its value far exceeded 30 million.
Many men looked at Qing Li with envy.
That was the goddess’s room!
“Newbie, can you resell the goddess’s room?” someone asked in a low voice.
“If you dare sell it, I’ll kill you.”
Before Qing Li could respond, Su Yin’s murderous glare swept over, dripping with menace.
“Relax, I have a strong sense of professional ethics,” Qing Li replied with a grin. However, her sly demeanor made her words unconvincing.
After Su Yin generously transferred the funds, Mo Ting gave Qing Li a probing glance before turning to leave.
The alluring Su Yin followed closely, her interest piqued. “Mo Ting, we’re neighbors now. You’re welcome to visit anytime.”
Her lips brushed past his ear, her fragrance lingering in the air. With a playful smile, she stepped into the elevator alongside the man.
Once Su Yin left, the previously disgruntled men resumed their questioning. “Newbie, are you going to sell the goddess’s room or not?”
“I’ll offer 50 million,” one of them shouted, raising the bid on his own.
“Not selling, not selling. That’s the beautiful sister’s room! The bed she slept on, the clothes she wore—they must smell amazing. I’m keeping them for myself. You can all buzz off!”
Qing Li waved dismissively, irritating the eager men to no end.
This newbie truly had a knack for being infuriating!
Holding the key, Qing Li followed the room number indicated and found the door.
The moment she opened it, an overwhelming sense of luxury greeted her.
Living in the Horror World meant facing life-threatening situations daily, so Su Yin prioritized living in comfort. Every piece of furniture and decor in the room was the epitome of luxury.
“What a win,” Qing Li murmured, lying on the plush sofa and closing her eyes in bliss.
Just then, she noticed something new had appeared in the inventory interface she was forced to bind to.
“Select and retrieve.”
Qing Li’s consciousness connected to the system, and the item from her inventory appeared in her palm.
It was an ordinary-looking card. The front depicted a sinister and eerie hospital, while the back featured a red eyeball. The eyeball was veined with grotesque blood vessels, and its pupil radiated intense resentment.
“System, what is this thing?” Qing Li asked without hesitation.
Could this be compensation for her? After all, she had played a major role in the mission, yet her final rating was an F. That outrageous result was almost more shameless than she was.
The system’s familiar mechanical voice responded: “This is the Hospital Segment. Because you eliminated the boss during the mission, you’ve been granted ownership of this hospital. You are now its master.”
“So, I have my own property now?” Qing Li’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
The system replied in its emotionless tone, “Yes.”
“So, in future missions, as long as I eliminate the big bosses, all their territories will become mine, right?” Qing Li grinned mischievously, her mind instantly forming a full-fledged plan for plundering her way to riches.
After all, killing ghosts and robbing ghosts wasn’t illegal.
The system fell silent, seemingly choosing not to respond to her glee.

24 Hours Later
When Qing Li woke up from her rest, she noticed that the number on her electronic wristwatch had dropped from 98 to 91. This indicated that seven players had perished in the game over the past 24 hours.
“Mission initiating. Player 91, please prepare.”
“Mission countdown…”
“10…”
“3…”
“2…”
“1.”
As the final number fell, Qing Li’s surroundings twisted and distorted. Moments later, she found herself in a small, stark white chamber.
—
[Qing Li, it’s been 24 hours, and my longing for you has almost run dry like a relentless river.]
[Goddess Qing! Finally, you’re back! I never gave up waiting.]
[Enough talk. Sending rockets to celebrate!]
Compared to her first livestream, Qing Li’s second stream immediately drew over ten thousand viewers as soon as it started.
She greeted her audience with a wave and a sweet smile. “Hello, everyone~”
Her pure appearance and soft, sweet voice gave her a harmless, endearing charm. However, viewers who had watched her previous streams knew just how fierce she was when wielding an axe against ghosts.
“This time, there are only four of us?” A man with average looks, average height, and an average build spoke up.
Pointing to his wrist, he introduced himself first: “I’m Player 71, Li Tao. This is my third mission.”
Next to him stood another man with dyed yellow hair, a stubbled chin, and a few prominent pimples. Yellow Hair smirked crookedly and said, “I’m Player 85, Wang Ge. I’ve completed two missions.”
“Player 69, Bai Yueyue. Four missions.”
The woman had delicate features, but a hint of arrogance lingered in her expression. Considering she had the highest ranking among them, her haughty demeanor seemed justified.
“Player 91, Qing Li. One mission,” Qing Li introduced herself with a smile, flashing her small tiger teeth.
The group had all witnessed what had transpired in the lobby earlier, so none of them were pleased to have Qing Li as their teammate.
[What’s with these people? They all seem to dislike our little village girl.]
[Foolish mortals! You can’t even recognize the golden thigh standing right in front of you!]
[If I were in this Horror World livestream, the first thing I’d do is cling to the village girl’s golden thigh!]
[I’d grab her waist. 🐶]
[Bold move up there. Did you forget about the little boy who got chopped in half by our village girl?]
The barrage of comments filled the livestream with lively banter.
At that moment, a drop of blood seeped through the blank wall. The vivid crimson was stark and chilling.
The other three players immediately tensed, their eyes locked warily on the wall.
Qing Li, however, had somehow already produced a knife. Without hesitation, she stabbed it directly into the wall.
“Player 91, what are you doing?” Bai Yueyue shouted sharply.
“I’m just checking why the wall is bleeding. Aren’t you curious?” Qing Li replied with a smirk.
Bai Yueyue’s breath hitched. This Horror World livestream had been around for an unknown amount of time, but no one had ever dared to do something like this before.
This Player 91 was absolutely insane!
The sharp blade easily pierced through the wall, and blood began gushing from the wound.
