Chapter 40

After the cursed evil spirit left, Ye Chenyi and Xu Maorong couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Only at this time did they have time to pick up the supernatural items that fell in the stairwell. Eight ghosts dropped eight supernatural items of various kinds after their death. For the time being, they were not in the mood to analyze what they were used for.

Put it directly into the storage room.

Ye Chenyi looked down from his back again, and watched the cursed ghost in the stairwell disappear on the first floor. He felt a little regretful. In fact, he was eager to try and wanted to rush up and kill it with a knife to try, but in the end he did not have the impulse.

At this time, he looked at Xu Maorong and asked, "How many points did you get in math in the high school entrance examination?"

Xu Maorong was a little shy and embarrassed, and said to Ye Chenyi: "One, one hundred and forty-six."

Ye Chenyi: "The full score is 150?"

Xu Maorong: “Yeah.”

Ye Chenyi: "Then how did you get 146?"

Xu Maorong bit his lower lip with some sadness, and then said, "I, I thought the questions were too easy and didn't check them carefully. As a result, the answer sheet of one of the multiple-choice questions was not filled in properly, and the machine didn't check it."

Ye Chenyi: “…”

As if I didn't ask.

He wanted to ask Xu Maorong: How could someone as smart as you like me? It's not just because I'm pretty, is it?

Xiao Xu doesn't look like such a superficial person!

Xu Maorong looked at Ye Chenyi who was lost in thought, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Brother Ye, will he think I'm showing off? But he's really really really...very good! Brother Ye, please take a look at me. Although I'm not very good-looking, I'm very smart.

Brother Ye looks so handsome when he is deep in thought.

Seeing his battle-damaged appearance now, he really wanted, really wanted to... He couldn't help biting his lips. He really wanted to use the tip of his tongue to lick away the blood on his wound and help him relieve the pain.

[Xu Maorong was so blessed by the scene he imagined of licking your blood beads with the tip of his tongue, he was so happy in his heart X1, X1, X1...]

Ye Chenyi: “…” He slapped him on the forehead. Xu Maorong felt guilty but dared not say anything. He looked at Ye Chenyi blankly: Why did you hit me?

Ye Chenyi curled his lips and said, "Wipe your mouth, your saliva is about to flow out."

Xu Maorong was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into the ground.

Ye Chenyi said to Xu Maorong: "You have to remember that you are not yet 18, understand?"

Xu Maorong compromised sullenly: "Oh." You're so handsome, what's wrong with that?

Ye Chenyi is 188cm tall, and Xu Maorong is now 179cm tall, which is really tall, so Ye Chenyi really thought that Xu Maorong was not young at first. But even so, he only dared to keep his love in his heart and never went forward to disturb him. He just worked hard to write and make money, hoping that in the future...

Now that I know he is only 16, I don’t even want to think about that kind of romantic thought, and I dare not even have it.

If he was also 16, or only one or two years older, and people of the same age liked people of the same age, it would at most be a premature love affair that could not be controlled.

But he is ten years older than him.

Ye Chenyi believes that he is not a BT. Having a certain relationship with a minor is illegal. What is illegal? It is a violation of the lowest moral limit. If it is not BT, what is it? Even if the world is weird now, horror is coming, and everything is collapsing, it is not allowed!

He couldn't get over his own hurdle.

Although he has only read a few books and is a poor student, his moral level is not linked to his cultural level.

Ye Chenyi and Xu Maorong stood at the staircase in the corridor. This place can be advanced, retreated, or go downstairs. It is a very good geographical location. They are all injured, and Ye Chenyi's ghost power has not recovered much. Now the ghosts in the corridor have been eliminated, and there are no ghosts coming up the stairwell. This place is temporarily safe.

But even so, they also understood that danger was always around, and they could not stay in any one place for too long, otherwise they would definitely regret it if they wanted to take a break in comfort.

Ye Chenyi looked at the game board and said, "There are still three hours until the game ends. We have to visit one more household."

Xu Maorong nodded.

He thought so too.

Because the negative energy in the stairwell is getting heavier and heavier, soon new evil spirits will appear in the corridor from the fog.

Evil ghosts can't just climb the stairs from the first floor to the sixth floor, but can appear here directly.

Ye Chenyi also wanted to "teleport", but he couldn't do it. After all, he was a human, and was different from a ghost. Maybe... he was not strong enough!

Ye Chenyi asked Xu Maorong: "Are you familiar with the sixth floor?"

Xu Maorong frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "There are 24 households in total on the eighth floor. Assuming there are no vacant rooms, the normal number of people living in a two-person household, a three-person household, or a five-person household should be three-sixths, two-sixths, or one-sixth. Adding in other factors, the number of people in this building is probably around 60."

Ye Chenyi said: "I am the only one on the eighth floor."

Xu Maorong said: "I am the only one left on the seventh floor. When the game started, two people died in this building. The death rate was so high at the beginning of the game, it is likely that only a few households had people. One household on the first floor is the maximum."

Ye Chenyi: "So it is very likely that any of the three households on the sixth floor has a ghost."

Xu Maorong nodded.

Ye Chenyi: "Then choose a ghost one."

Xu Maorong frowned and thought hard again, then said, "602."

Ye Chenyi: "602?"

Xu Maorong: "I remember when I went up to the seventh floor, I would glimpse the corridor balcony from the first floor to the sixth floor. It seems that every time there are the least clothes drying in 602. I suspect that he is a single dog living alone like me." After saying that, he quickly said: "I live outside so that I can study better at night. I study until 12 o'clock every night! I don't want to fall in love too early!"

Ye Chenyi: “…”

You might as well not say anything. Trying to cover up the truth only makes it more obvious.

Ye Chenyi didn't say anything to him, just looked at him helplessly, then bought a roll of bandage and gave it to Xu Maorong. When Xu Maorong tied it up, Ye Chenyi said, "Tie it tighter."

It hurts if it's too loose.

Xu Maorong looked at him worriedly, but still tightened the bandage and tied a knot.

Ye Chenyi said: "Let's go. Be careful."

Xu Maorong nodded.

Ye Chenyi walked in front, Xu Maorong walked behind, fog rolled outside the residential building, and various ghosts were looming inside. Ghosts can increase their own strength by devouring ghosts, and players can also upgrade by killing evil ghosts.

As players become more powerful, so too will the ghosts.

In the end, those at the bottom will find it difficult to even continue to exist in this collapsing world.

No matter before or after the collapse of the world, the lower the people are, the harder their lives will be.

The rope breaks at the thinnest part, and bad luck never leaves the poor people.

The heavy rain stopped at this time, but the cold wind still blew in the face with the smell of rain. Ye Chenyi's throat was itchy, so he covered his mouth with his hands and coughed twice in a very low voice. His face was flushed and his fingers were wet. When he spread them out, he saw that they were dark red blood.

Ye Chenyi didn't care much. He held the kitchen knife tightly in his hand. This kitchen knife had killed ten ghosts. Not only did the blade not curl, but it became colder and colder. It was so cold that he couldn't hold it to warm it.

The rust became thicker and thicker, and the mottled bloodstains on it did not fade away, but became darker and darker. The light of the blade also became more restrained from being bright and looked dull.

The blood on the knife handle was also extremely sticky and thick, and the handle was completely black, like a sponge soaked with blood.

The evil spirit power in Ye Chenyi's body is only 200 points now, but once the evil spirit power consumed in his body is fully recovered, it will increase to 580 points.

Ye Chenyi thought to himself: As long as I don’t encounter a LV5 ghost, like the one that was killed by his ex-boyfriend or current boyfriend, I shouldn’t have any problem dealing with LV1 to LV4 ghosts.

I clearly have a system, I have turned on cheats, and I possess so much power from evil spirits, but I am still no match for low-level evil spirits. Why is this happening?

Ye Chenyi knew that he was not a smart person. Although he was not stupid, he was still a long way from having a high IQ. When he encountered a problem that he couldn't figure out, he had become accustomed to poking the system panel and asking the system. He didn't expect that the question would actually get an answer from the system.

[About you, who has hundreds of ghost power but cannot defeat ghosts with dozens of ghost power, you finally can't help but ask the system why. To solve this problem, you only need to...]
