Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...
Chapter 31: A Husband Given Away at the Start
[Dungeon completion in progress, player's completion rate is 100%]
Task 1 completed: Find Ren Yuanxing, reward 1000 points.
Complete Task 2: Survive in the dungeon for seven days. Reward: 2000 points.
Dungeon completion rate 100%, rating: S-rank (perfect clear), bonus points 1000.
[70% of the live stream footage will be viewed, with a reward of 7000 points]
Congratulations to the player for achieving the achievement "The Most Dazzling Star in the Livestream"! The livestream camera will focus on you, and you will be rewarded with 1000 points.
Just as Jiang Liyue left the dungeon and returned to her rented room, a series of reward notifications came crashing down on her.
She glanced at it and realized that she had earned a total of 12,000 points from this dungeon run, with the most coming from the live stream camera, which rewarded her with a full 7,000 points.
Could the scenes inside the dungeon also be broadcast live? Jiang Liyue wondered to herself.
The strange game app on my phone shows that the conversion ratio between points and real-world currency is 1 to 1000.
That means she earned 12 million from this trip.
However, points can be exchanged for items in the game, and basically no one would be foolish enough to exchange them all for currency.
Jiang Liyue exchanged 100,000 yuan and ordered several takeout meals.
Although she no longer felt hungry after leaving the dungeon, the craving for food remained.
While waiting for her takeout, Jiang Liyue browsed the forum on the eerie game app, where various players were posting.
She was starving when she first entered the game, so she didn't have time to check the various general knowledge information. After registering, she was pulled into the game.
From the forum, Jiang Liyue finally learned where the points awarded for live streaming came from.
It turns out that a live stream will be launched simultaneously after the dungeon is opened, and points will be awarded based on the percentage of footage captured during the dungeon after it ends.
According to summaries on the forum, live streamers love bizarre and bloody scenes, so most players who appear on screen die.
It's not that there aren't players who try to gain points by stealing the spotlight, but in the game, death means real death, and basically no one would gamble with their life.
Therefore, most players just let things take their course, as long as they can complete the game, and how many shots they get depends on luck, mostly within 5%.
With so many players in the instance, you're lucky to get even a little bit.
There has never been anyone like Jiang Liyue who gets 70% of the shot!
"Exciting and bloody?" Jiang Liyue recalled her experience in the dungeon and blinked twice.
It's certainly exciting, after all, Pei Ji has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but what about the gore?
Wait, if there's a live stream, wouldn't she and Pei Ji be completely exposed?
Jiang Liyue quickly checked and learned that some scenes that couldn't be viewed would be censored, which relieved her.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Liyue thought it was her takeout, but when she opened the door, she found a young man standing there.
The other person was fairly handsome, but his expression looked a bit condescending, and his clothes were flashy.
He stood in front of the door with his arms crossed, glancing at her from head to toe.
The man sneered, "You've fallen on such a state and you still don't want to go home?"
"Who are you?" Jiang Liyue frowned.
The man glanced at her disdainfully, trying to push open the door as he spoke: "Jiang Liyue, how come you're pretending not to know me after leaving the Jiang family? I told you, you only need to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Liyue slammed him to the ground with one hand, stepped on his chest, kicked him twice, and then released him, looking at him coldly: "Get lost."
The man got up, cursing and wanting to say something, but when he caught a glimpse of Jiang Liyue's cold expression, he felt a dull ache in his body.
He turned and ran off as fast as he could, not forgetting to yell, "You just wait!"
Jiang Liyue had already recalled from the original owner's memories that this person was the real heiress's second brother, and the brother the original owner had called for over twenty years.
However, after his identity was exposed, this second brother always liked to nitpick at the original owner. Later, the original owner was kicked out of the house and never saw that family again during this period.
Jiang Liyue was not the original owner of this body, and she had no feelings for that family. She just thought that the person was talking too much nonsense.
She hates it when people tell her what to do.
When the food delivery arrived, Jiang Liyue received a private message on the app's backend. It turned out that Huang Linye had contacted her, offering to give her a house.
Jiang Liyue readily accepted; why would she live in a rented room when she could have a big house to live in?
Huang Linye: [My dad has been insisting that I go to work these past two days, otherwise I would have definitely come to see you off, Sister Yue, in person.]
Jiang Liyue casually replied with "No need," and moved into her new home without even bringing any luggage.
The new house is located on the outskirts of the city in a newly developed villa area, and is worth tens of millions.
It seemed that not many people had moved in yet. On the night Jiang Liyue moved in, she found the place so quiet that it felt like she was in a strange game.
For some reason, Jiang Liyue recalled Pei Ji's deep and persistent eyes when she exited the dungeon.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Liyue, after she exited the instance, Pei Ji stood in the room for a long time, a black mist spreading from behind him.
After a while, Pei Ji's expression stiffened, seemingly no different from the other strange occurrences.
In the unknown space, a pair of enormous eyes slowly opened, revealing deep red pupils.
Dungeon Name: Blood Moon Villa
Dungeon Difficulty: C
Mission: Escape the villa / Find the monster among you
At your invitation, your group went on an adventure to a villa located on a deserted mountain.
Legend has it that the former owner of this villa died a violent death, and explorers who came here claimed that a blood moon would rise at night, and monsters would appear to devour the heart.
The very night you arrived, something terrible happened; a monster had infiltrated your ranks...
[Beware, anyone but yourself could be a monster.]
As the darkness before her eyes was gradually dispelled, Jiang Liyue opened her eyes and found herself standing in front of a large door.
There are ten people in total, including her, all of whom were supposedly invited to this expedition.
The person who invited them was Lu Zhuokai, who stood in the center and was dressed very elegantly. He was a wealthy young man who loved adventure.
These people were all members recruited online by Lu Zhuokai to go on adventures together. He often organized similar activities, and the expenses for each activity were paid by the other party.
"Alright, it looks like everyone's here. This is the legendary Blood Moon Villa, and tonight we'll be exploring from here." Lu Zhuokai greeted everyone from the front.
Next to him was a beautiful girl with long, wavy hair, Ji Lin, who was also the girl Lu Zhuokai was currently pursuing.
Taking your girlfriend on an adventure to your death while you're pursuing her? What kind of straight man is this?
Jiang Liyue inwardly scoffed, then turned to look at the man beside her—
Her husband, whom she recently married, is in this instance.
Choosing a horror adventure trip as a wedding gift shows just as much of his straight-laced nature as he does.
