Chapter 27 - Ring of Rights, Territorial Rewards!
In the last two days, nothing unexpected happened.
The seven-day employee experience period officially ended.
Due to Qin Nuo's position, the ghosts at the west gate didn't dare to trouble Zhang Yu and Liu Xing anymore, and the two of them successfully completed the first set of scenarios.
Liu Jiaqi threw herself into Qin Nuo's arms, crying tears of joy, "I can't believe I made it back alive. I'm so happy."
Zhang Yu and Liu Xing watched this scene from the side, secretly giving Qin Nuo a thumbs up.
"Brother Qin is amazing. Not only did he complete the scenario effortlessly, but he also won over the school beauty Liu!"
Over the past two days, Qin Nuo had completely won over Zhang Yu and Liu Xing.
Even though he was just a supervisor, the ghosts would nod and bow when they saw Qin Nuo, speaking in a humble tone.
It was like a scene where underlings meet their boss!
The powerful aura Qin Nuo exuded turned these two into his little fanboys.
Damn it, if I could be that cool, my nose would be in the air!
Qin Nuo wasn't concerned with what Liu Xing and Zhang Yu thought. He was focused on the ghost creatures he had acquired over the past seven days and suddenly thought of a question, falling into deep thought.
At that moment, a white light suddenly appeared in the eyes of Qin Nuo and the others gathered in the hall.
Immediately, they all found themselves in a void space.
It was the same space they had entered before the horror game.
Not only them, but other classmates from different areas of the Nether Springs Restaurant also appeared.
After seven days apart, seeing each other again felt like reuniting with old friends after many years. They were all overwhelmed with emotion, hugging each other and crying their hearts out.
"Old Qin, I missed you so much!" Tang Ming found Qin Nuo in the crowd and gave him a sloth-like bear hug.
"We just saw each other yesterday," Qin Nuo rolled his eyes.
As a supervisor, his job was incredibly laid-back, and he had a special pass that allowed him to move freely in any area of the restaurant.
So over the past two days, Qin Nuo's legs hadn't been idle, and he even visited Tang Ming's area.
Qin Nuo had also intended to explore the mysterious second floor of the restaurant.
But perhaps due to the previous incident with the little girl, or for some other reason, the second floor was temporarily closed.
"The class monitor didn't come back, he was taken by a bathroom ghost..."
"Liu Fang too, she was gone by the second day..."
After the tears of joy came a silent mourning.
Originally 45 classmates, now only 19 remained.
Not even 20!
Everyone hung their heads, feeling a heavy sense of oppression.
"Congratulations to those who survived, you are the lucky ones, the biggest winners."
"Life and death are different. Instead of mourning the death of your companions, focus on the rewards for completing the first set of scenarios."
"Cheer and shout, that's what you should be doing now."
A mysterious voice rang out.
Xiao Yuexin said, "I just want to go home now, can we be sent back?"
"Of course, you'll be transported back in two minutes, and the rewards will be distributed based on your scenario ratings."
"If you enjoyed the experience, we welcome you to participate in our horror game again next time!"
No one spoke.
Everyone wore a bitter expression.
A second time?
In this lifetime, we will never participate in this damn game again!
After being forcibly sent into a horror game once, you gain the initiative to decide whether to participate again.
But even so, in the real world, many people still flock to the horror world.
Firstly, because the national protection mechanism reduces the danger.
Secondly, for the rewards.
For those who value money over life, completing a scenario with a high rating often means they won't have to work hard for the rest of their lives!
This temptation can indeed drive many people crazy.
But for those forcibly sent in, it's the biggest shadow of their lives, and they don't even want to hear the words "horror game" again.
Beams of light fell on them, and one by one, they disappeared from the mysterious space.
Qin Nuo suddenly asked, "Are the rewards I got from the Nether Springs Restaurant still useful?"
"Permanent."
"The next time you enter a horror game, the rewards you earned from the previous scenario will still be useful."
In other words, the next time he enters the game, Qin Nuo will still be the supervisor of the Nether Springs Restaurant, and the passes and badges he earned can still be used.
Of course, he could also sell them when he returns to the real world for a considerable sum of money.
"Any other questions?"
"No more."
Qin Nuo closed his eyes, his body disappearing as he was transported back to Earth.
At that moment, the sound of the system settling rewards echoed in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the Nether Springs Restaurant scenario, with a rating of 14.7 points." (99% satisfaction)
"System reward: Unlock system store." (Ghost currency purchase)
"Skill reward: Ring of Rights." (Due to the host's influence, when the opponent's rage meter exceeds 99%, entering the rights domain, the opponent must offer a valuable item as a price, or face eternal confinement.)
"Ghost creature reward: Cursed Substitute Strawman ×2." (Can negate death once in a scenario, allowing for resurrection.)
"Ghost currency reward: Denomination 100." (Ghost currency to ghost coin ratio is 1:10)
"Territory reward: Obtain Red Moon 24-hour Convenience Store, permanent territory ownership." (Address: Horror World, Ten Thousand Ghosts District, Ghost Lantern Street, No. 76)
"There's a territory reward?" Qin Nuo was taken aback, he hadn't expected this.
"Every time you complete a scenario, the host can receive a territory reward in the horror world. The higher the scenario difficulty, the better the territory location."
"Monthly revenue from the territory industry will deduct necessary expenses, with net profit automatically deposited into the host's pocket."
"Of course, poor management could lead to bankruptcy, so don't think about being a hands-off owner, waiting to collect money."
Qin Nuo understood.
The next time he enters a game scenario, he could check out his store.
Of course, if there is a next time...
Qin Nuo opened the information panel for the Red Moon Convenience Store.
Territory Industry: Red Moon Convenience Store.
Profit: Revenue down 30% compared to last month.
Employees: 2. (12-hour shift system)
Facing issues: Unrepaired damage affecting appearance, undesirable location, competitors stealing business...
Qin Nuo broke into a sweat, are there really that many problems?
Forget it, I'll leave it for now.
I remember I still have a silver treasure chest in the toolbar that I haven't opened.
Qin Nuo took it out and clicked to open it.
"Ding, opened silver treasure chest, obtained items: Child's Urine ×3, Ghost Creature Dismemberment Machete, Ghost Creature Patch Ghost Doll."
"In this world, child's urine counts as a reward?" Qin Nuo was speechless, this feeling of being struck by lightning was like when he got those few blood-stained sanitary pads before.
But the other two ghost items seemed pretty good.
Without further research, Qin Nuo put all these items back into the toolbar.
At this moment, the scene before his eyes gradually cleared, and Qin Nuo felt a sense of weightlessness in his body, followed by his feet landing on the asphalt road.
When he looked up again, Qin Nuo found himself on the highway of an overpass.
Tang Ming and the others also appeared around him one after another.
Looking at the bright sunshine and the drivers in passing vehicles with expressions like they'd seen a ghost, they all knew they had returned to the original world.
A world without ghosts!
"We're finally back!"
Everyone cried tears of joy, shouting and celebrating as if they had been liberated.
