Mistaking a horror game for a romance novel, he unexpectedly became a legend.

After the chubby boy died, the dormitory door on the first floor was finally opened.

With the intervention of outsiders, it took everyone about an hour to clean up the mess. Because it was too late, everything had to wait until the next day to deal with it. The higher-ups ordered all soldiers to go back to their dormitories to rest.

Cheng Donglai accidentally became a hero and received several surprise boxes. In one of the surprise boxes, he opened a prop.

This item can hide your location so that NPCs can't find you. Cheng Donglai was overjoyed when he saw it. There were only 15 minutes left until midnight. Since the little fat guy's dislike for him exceeded 30%, he would definitely come looking for him later. He was originally planning to get through the night, but the appearance of this item was like a pillow sent to someone who was sleepy.

If the NPC can't sense your location, he'll have to search room by room. As long as you hide well, the little fat guy won't be able to find you tonight, or by the time he finds you, it will be time to leave.

Thinking about this, Cheng Donglai felt even more fortunate.

In the early hours of the morning, all the dormitory lights went out, the moon turned red, and the chubby boy came out.

Even after he died, the chubby boy was still holding the gun in his hand, with two bloody holes on his forehead. His whole body glowed with a ghostly blue light, and at first glance, he did look somewhat like Ghost Rider.

The chubby boy was unaware of Cheng Donglai's presence. The first place he went was their shared dormitory, room 312 on the third floor.

Passing through the dormitory door, the NPCs inside were fast asleep. The chubby boy glanced around and saw that the place where Cheng Donglai should have been sleeping was now empty.

Seeing this, the chubby boy came out of the house and began searching room by room.

Song Yi was in room 309. He lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) with his hands behind his head, his eyes wide open staring at the ceiling. He wasn't sleepy at all.

Lu Xiao could tell that Song Yi wasn't asleep just by listening to his breathing.

"Someone of Cheng Donglai's level wouldn't die so easily against an NPC. I reckon there won't be any more news tonight, but there should be a lot to do tomorrow. Why don't you go to sleep earlier?"

Song Yi suddenly sat up halfway: "How about we take a gamble?"

Lu Xiao looked at Song Yi, then silently closed his eyes and said:

"What are you gambling?"

Song Yi: "I bet Cheng Donglai won't make it through tonight."

Lu Xiao pondered for two seconds, carefully analyzing the situation in his mind, and still felt that the chubby boy's chances of winning were slim:

"Okay, I bet he won't die, but what's the wager?"

Song Yi chuckled twice: "It's a bet on points. If you win, I'll give you 100 points, and you give me 10000 points."

Lu Xiao suddenly opened his eyes:

"Do you think it's fair?"

Song Yi said matter-of-factly, "It's not fair, so are you going to play or not?"

Lu Xiao sighed helplessly, "Fine, let's gamble."

None of the four people in dormitory 309 were asleep. Meng Jing had heard Song Yi and Lu Xiao talking about gambling and wanted to join in, but when he heard the stakes, he swallowed his words.

10000 points? Are they the hard currency in the game that they all use?

He's participated in so many games and only managed to accumulate less than 1000 points. Yet, two people around him can easily make bets in the tens of thousands. Is this a joke?

Meng Jing pulled the blanket over her head, deciding to go to sleep.

After the game started, the chubby boy passed by room 309 for the first time, and Song Yi got up from the kang (heated brick bed):

"Why did he go east? Isn't 312 in the west?"

Lu Xiao grinned and said, "Guess!"

Song Yi glanced at Lu Xiao, and then three minutes later, the chubby boy passed by 309 again and headed towards 312. Song Yi opened the door and looked in that direction. The chubby boy went in and came out less than 10 seconds later.

Song Yi: "Hmm? They couldn't find the person?"

Normally, NPCs can locate players, and no matter where the player is, the NPC can find them. The chubby guy went around and around but couldn't find Cheng Donglai. Song Yi guessed that Cheng Donglai had used some kind of item.

After watching the chubby boy come out of room 312, Song Yi headed west. Even if the chubby boy was dead, his IQ wasn't very high. The dormitory building had five floors. If you wanted to find someone, you could either go from top to bottom or from bottom to top. When Song Yi passed by his dormitory door for the third time, Song Yi was speechless at the chubby boy.

He slammed the door open, startling the chubby boy. Song Yi's eyes were filled with the word "I'm doomed" as he looked at the chubby boy.

Song Yi opened the door but didn't move, and neither did the chubby boy. Half the night was almost over, and if the chubby boy couldn't find Cheng Donglai, Cheng Donglai would have to get through the night safely.

Song Yi sighed helplessly and called out to Zhou Yuyan.

Zhou Yuyan's appearance in a red dress startled the chubby boy. He almost thought that Song Yi had summoned such a fierce ghost king to beat him up, but the next moment, she actually asked him to help her.

Zhou Yuyan is different from the chubby boy; she belongs to the player faction and is no longer a game NPC, so Cheng Donglai's items have no effect on her.

Zhou Yuyan said "Come with me" to Little Fatty, and then floated away, leaving Little Fatty standing there in a daze.

Song Yi sighed, "What are you standing there for? Go find someone! You'll have to leave when it's time. Don't you want revenge?"

The chubby boy immediately ran over. Song Yi shook his head. The chubby boy was emitting blue light and was an SS-level vengeful ghost. However, he seemed to be completely unaware of his own abilities. He looked stupid but was not actually very smart.

After giving his instructions, Song Yi turned around and saw the other three people on the kang staring intently at him, but their expressions were all different.

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes and curled his lips slightly: "You cheated."

Song Yi stood with his hands on his hips, completely oblivious to the fact that something was wrong with him.

"Hey, what's wrong? You didn't say cheating was forbidden."

In Song Yi's case, the fact that it wasn't explicitly stated means it's permissible.

Lu Xiao lowered his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The other two players on the kang looked at Song Yi with horror in their eyes. What the hell? What the hell? What the hell?

Just now, Song Yi casually summoned a fierce ghost, a fierce ghost dressed in red with an SSS-level fierce ghost king displayed above its head!

They swore that the highest level they had ever encountered in all the games they had played was an SS-rank ghost.

But what Song Yi summoned just now, even if it was an SSS-level monster, the three big characters "King of Vengeful Ghosts" really broadened their horizons.

At this moment, Meng Jing and the other person understood why Song Yi dared to offend the NPC as soon as he entered the game, and why he ignored the NPC coming to find him on the first night and just lay down to sleep.

Meng Jing and another player looked at Song Yi with disbelief in their eyes.

Meng Jing: "Brother Song, how did you do that?"

Song Yi: "Huh?"

Meng Jing: "Driven by the SSS-level Ghost King."

Song Yi: "Huh? None of you can?"

Meng Jing: ...I don't want to ask anymore. I'm injured, and my heart hurts.

"Are you really level 35? Are you some kind of pro player?"

At this point, Meng Jing began to suspect that Song Yi might be a top-tier player who had compressed his level to help his teammates.

Song Yi: "35% authentic."
