I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

Ding!

At that moment, a bus approached from afar and stopped by the bus stop. The Stitching Ghost didn\'t immediately board the bus.

Qin Nuo glanced at the bus number; it was indeed 404, so he followed and got on.

There were quite a few passengers on the bus. The Stitching Ghost sat at the back, and once it saw Qin Nuo board, its eyes never left him.

The other passengers all turned their 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 understand a bit more.

Whether in the Horror World or the real world, Half-Ghosts played a special role. If the ghost they contracted 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 Nether 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 second 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 coming and going, but the Stitching Ghost at the back never got off.

"Ding, the stop for Nether Springs Restaurant has arrived. Passengers needing to disembark, please take your belongings with you!"

"The next stop is Resentment Cemetery."

"The final stop for this bus is Black Crow Ghost School!"

Hearing the announcement, Qin Nuo immediately stood up. Coincidentally or not, the Stitching Ghost also got off and signed Qin Nuo\'s name.

"Oh, you\'re going to that restaurant too? They don\'t welcome half-rats there!" the Stitching Ghost said with a cold smile.

"Perhaps, but I\'m not a guest; I\'m an employee there," Qin Nuo replied calmly.

The Stitching 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 customer 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 Stitching Ghost walked into the fog ahead.

Qin Nuo squinted his eyes, "Can we take it down?"

"Get the ingredients, and I\'ll help you vent your anger. I can\'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 layers of thin veils being peeled away, a familiar outline appeared before him.

The restaurant\'s construction was grand, both in size and style, unmatched by anything else. Qin Nuo\'s Red Moon Convenience Store couldn\'t compare at all.

Business was still booming, with a constant stream of customers. The second floor of the restaurant remained mysterious, and those who could go up were undoubtedly VIPs, enjoying higher privileges.

With more customers, conflicts naturally increased, some even affecting the restaurant. Yet, the Nether Springs Restaurant always managed to 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, coming 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 customer.

Recalling his time as a server, targeted by customers and chefs alike, constantly under the threat of death, was indeed a bit embarrassing.

"Sir, are you dining with us? Please, this way."

The server, not caring about Qin Nuo\'s identity, politely led him to a seat by the window.

After sitting down, the ghost server poured tea and water, completing their duties before continuing, "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 placed the menu on the table, speaking stiffly, "Sir, your... menu, um, what would you like to order?"

Handing over the menu, Qin Nuo selected two common dishes: Mapo Tofu and Salted Fish Eggplant.

The young man took the order, nodded, and turned to leave.

Qin Nuo suddenly called out to him, "Hold on."

The young man flinched, turning back with a frightened expression, "Wh... what is it?"

Qin Nuo smiled slightly, "If you were dealing with a more temperamental customer, you might be dead by now."

"After the customer selects their dishes, remember to ask if they want a dessert and add a polite phrase before leaving."

"Being so careless, you won\'t last long."

Qin Nuo adopted an authoritative demeanor.

The young man realized his mistake, nodding quickly and sincerely thanking him, "Thank you, thank you for the reminder."

Leaning back in his chair, Qin Nuo asked with a faint smile, "Were you forced in, or did you enter through the login device?"

The young man was momentarily stunned, then asked in astonishment, "Are you also...?"

Qin Nuo smiled calmly, "My first instance was the Nether Springs Restaurant."

The young man\'s initial demeanor and expression were exactly like Wang Yang and Liu Jiaqi\'s back then. Qin Nuo immediately recognized him as a player, currently engaged in an instance game.

Hearing that he was also a player, 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, unable to resist asking, "Brother, how did you complete 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 last much longer; it\'s too difficult," the young man\'s voice carried a sense of despair.

If they couldn\'t complete it, the curse of being forcibly sent in would persist, becoming an endless torment for them.

Seeing his state, Qin Nuo calmly said, "If you think like that, you probably won\'t last until the end of the instance. I suggest you find a brick, use your immunity token, and exit."

"When playing this game, remember one thing: always maintain a calm mind."

"Building good relationships is the first rule. When you have good relations with the game\'s NPCs, you\'ll find that this game isn\'t horrifying at all. Instead, it\'s warm and healing, teaching you many things!"
