I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

"You two did well today. Here's your pay."

Pinocchio raised his wooden arm, and a few Ghost Currency coins fell into the hands of Qin Nuo and Liu Jiaqi.

"Additionally, 3697 is still the best employee among all the staff today. Here's your extra reward!"

With that, a badge appeared in Qin Nuo's hand.

A skull-shaped badge.

"Wearing this badge grants you some privileges, like access to the second floor of the restaurant and the right to interfere in the kitchen..."

After speaking, Pinocchio turned and left.

Qin Nuo noticed that as he held the badge, the surrounding ghost employees cast greedy glances his way.

"This is a good thing," Qin Nuo said with a smile as he put it away.

"Qin Nuo, about what Wang Yang said..." Liu Jiaqi looked at Qin Nuo with some fear.

Could it be that Qin Nuo intentionally framed Wang Yang?

Qin Nuo said nothing, walked to the table, dipped his finger into the leftover soup, and activated the Eye of Analysis.

After a moment, he wiped his finger with a napkin and said, "I told him to add cooking wine, and there was absolutely no problem with that."

"But it had to be cooking wine made from white liquor, not yellow beer."

Though both are cooking wines, yellow beer has a lower purity and overpowers the original aroma and taste of the soup.

Perhaps Wang Yang was being cheap, thinking all cooking wines were the same.

But this little detail cost him his life!

Qin Nuo had said it had to be white liquor, and Wang Yang didn't take it to heart, so he couldn't blame Qin Nuo.

Liu Jiaqi felt very conflicted after hearing the analysis.

After all, they were classmates, and watching him being taken away by ghosts was a heavy blow, no matter how you looked at it.

"Instead of worrying about Wang Yang, you'd better worry about whether you'll survive tomorrow."

"I'm going to buy something to eat. Are you coming?"

Seeing Liu Jiaqi's absent-minded look, Qin Nuo didn't say much and turned to leave.

"Wait for me."

In the hallway, Qin Nuo ordered a bowl of snail noodles for 30 Ghost Currency and inserted a 100-value Ghost Currency note.

Soon, the vending machine shook.

The snail noodles dropped out.

As for the change, only 20 Ghost Currency was returned.

As expected, it swallowed 50 Ghost Currency again!

But this time, Qin Nuo didn't silently accept his bad luck. With a blank expression, he said, "The count is off."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you keep it up, I'll take back even this box of noodles!"

The vending machine ghost's hoarse voice came out.

Qin Nuo said nothing, hanging the badge on his chest.

"What, you think this thing can scare me?" the vending machine ghost sneered.

"I'm not planning to scare you with this; this is more practical!"

Qin Nuo took out the Bone-Crushing Hammer and swung it at the vending machine's glass.

Instantly, the glass shattered!

Liu Jiaqi, who had caught up, covered her mouth in shock at the scene.

Was Qin Nuo really going to fight the vending machine ghost?

"You want to die!!"

The vending machine ghost was furious, its ghostly face twisting, and a row of sharp teeth grew from its bloody mouth, as if it would swallow Qin Nuo in the next second.

"Demon's Eye: You gained +3 Rage Meter from the vending machine ghost and obtained the Murderous Butcher's Chainsaw!"

"A chainsaw? This is great!"

Qin Nuo's face lit up with joy.

Over there, the vending machine ghost was about to lash out, but Qin Nuo kicked it hard back against the wall.

"Is this Ghost Power?"

The vending machine ghost was shocked. This rat actually had Ghost Power!

Then, even more unbelievably, Qin Nuo pulled out a chainsaw covered in dried blood from who knows where.

With a few strong pulls of the cord, the chainsaw roared to life, and a heavy scent of blood filled the air.

From Liu Jiaqi's perspective, a sense of fear arose, as if it were an illusion. At this moment, Qin Nuo seemed like a deranged killer in a raincoat, wielding a chainsaw on a rainy night.

The vending machine ghost sensed the chainsaw's peculiarity and suddenly realized it was a Ghost Creature!

Before it could react, Qin Nuo was upon it.

The chainsaw blade tore through the vending machine's surface, and instead of sparks, thick, sticky black blood oozed out.

The vending machine ghost was both shocked and terrified, but mostly furious.

Was it really being oppressed by a mere rat?

A pair of bloody hands reached out from behind the vending machine, trying to tear Qin Nuo apart.

But in the next second, they recoiled as if electrocuted!

The restaurant's rules stated that as long as employees worked diligently and completed their tasks, ghosts couldn't harm them.

Moreover, besides the work uniform, Qin Nuo had the Best Employee badge hanging on his chest!

The vending machine ghost couldn't harm Qin Nuo no matter what.

And Qin Nuo, as if transformed into a dedicated lumberjack, ignored everything else and swung the chainsaw with all his might.

As the chainsaw roared, pieces fell to the ground, and black blood had already flooded the floor.

The vending machine ghost finally realized Qin Nuo's ruthlessness and quickly spoke up, "Wait! Stop, I'll give you your change, every last coin!"

Two Ghost Currency notes popped out.

"What about yesterday's?"

"I'll return all of yesterday's too!"

"And my friend's?"

"Here, I'll give it all back to you!"

The vending machine ghost completely gave in.

Only then did Qin Nuo stop his actions, pulling out the chainsaw, and the flowing black blood ceased.

Picking up the stack of Ghost Currency, Qin Nuo counted it and then looked up with a smile, "The count is off, isn't it?"

"How could it be? I counted very carefully."

Qin Nuo casually said, "I just gave you a 1000-value Ghost Currency note."

"Nonsense, you gave me a 100!" the vending machine ghost retorted angrily.

"You remembered wrong."

Qin Nuo picked up the chainsaw again, pulling the cord.

The sound of the chainsaw struck deep into the vending machine ghost's soul.

Faced with Qin Nuo's shameless extortion, the vending machine ghost was furious to the extreme.

Suppressing its overwhelming anger, the vending machine ghost eventually conceded, gritting its teeth, "I remembered wrong. A thousand, I'll give it to you!"

Soon, a thick stack of Ghost Currency appeared in Qin Nuo's hand, exactly 970 Ghost Currency.

"See, I'm a reasonable person. Someone who doesn't know might think I'm extorting you," Qin Nuo said with a smile.

Vending machine ghost: "..."

If it were human, it might have already been spitting blood from anger.

"In the next few days, don't get the count wrong. I'm not good at math, so I might get it wrong too!" Qin Nuo put away the chainsaw and said to the already battered vending machine.

Qin Nuo gestured to Liu Jiaqi, who stepped forward and timidly said, "I'd like a clay pot rice."

The vending machine made no sound, as if it were broken.

Qin Nuo took out the hammer, weighing it in his hand, and immediately a clay pot rice, along with a drink and utensils, popped out of the vending machine.

Though it said nothing, the vending machine had made its stance clear.

It had admitted defeat!

Qin Nuo left with Liu Jiaqi, and once they returned to the dormitory, she finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a lingering fear.

"That was so dangerous just now. That was a ghost. Aren't you afraid of its revenge?" Liu Jiaqi exclaimed.

Scaring a ghost was one thing, but actually extorting it was another.

Qin Nuo's actions had truly left Liu Jiaqi stunned!

"So what if it's a ghost?"

"These things are just like people, they bully the weak and fear the strong. The more you cower, the more arrogant they become."

"What if it fights you to the death?"

"Then I'll just dismantle it!" Qin Nuo shrugged.
