He seems to be the kind of person who only catches ghosts according to his duty, but doesn't seem to hate ghosts.

That makes things much easier!

The original owner's social skills weren't great either; she was barely passable, which is why they didn't even know each other's names after fighting for so long.

But now that the spirit inside this ghost's body has been replaced, if he doesn't take the opportunity to tease the silly female lead, would he still be Yu Ling?

It would be strange if she didn't completely fool him!

Yu Ling flicked her pink, cute-looking fruit-themed phone in her hand, then held it up in front of Tan Yiman with a bright smile, revealing two dimples that were incredibly adorable. She leaned closer and asked:

"Walking is tiring, little Taoist priest. Want to hitch a ride with me?"

Tan Yiman: "No taxi will take us."

“It’s not a rental, it’s a group of friends I arranged to meet. How about it? Want to come along?” Yu Ling said gently.

"good."

Oh? You actually agreed?!

When Yu Ling saw that the female lead was so unprincipled, she tried to take things further and even took the female lead's arm affectionately.

Tan Yiman, still sporting that expressionless face, tilted her head and asked, "Hmm?"

But she didn't dodge.

"It's okay, let's just wait here for a while, I'll call my friend right away."

Yu Ling dialed the phone number of the person who organized this live-streaming group from her memory, clicked to call, and stood hand in hand with the female lead on the street to make the call.

The call was answered quickly.

The male voice on the other end was full of doubt, but he seemed to have just woken up, as he spoke with a slight drowsiness. He said:

"That's strange. It's actually you calling me on your own initiative. Are you going to stand me up tonight?"

"How could that be? If I don't go live soon, I'll be eating dirt! By the way, is Brother Hongxi about to leave? I'd like to hitch a ride~ Here's the thing, when I was trying to hail a taxi..."

Yu Ling rambled on and on about how she had been ripped off by the driver, and quickly received responses of 'laughter,' 'gloating,' and 'You got what you deserve?'

Ji Hongxi, male, recently graduated from university. A seasoned paranormal enthusiast, he would be the leader of a death-defying squad in a movie.

He had long wanted to make the boldest but most unsociable girl in the group famous, and Yu Ling's misfortune could bring them closer, so it was a good thing. Even though it was still early, he grabbed his car keys and went out.

"Send me your location, wait, I'll be there soon."

Yu Ling hung up the phone and saw that the female lead was still waiting in the same spot. She was quite obedient and didn't care if the female lead was bored, so she simply started tapping on the system while waiting for the ride.

"System, open the system panel for me quickly! I need that blank character card!"

[No problem, host~]

A semi-transparent system panel unfolded before Yu Ling's eyes. Now, with her eyes fixed on the front, she stood next to the female lead, and her expression was practically identical to that of a copy-paste.

[After equipping the Badge of Justice, in all worlds, anyone from the protagonist's faction will have their affinity towards the host increased by 10. However, this affinity only applies to the first impression; previously known or aware of the original host's 'villainous' deeds will still turn into hatred or hostility.]

"It's okay, we can use this badge on blank character cards later. By the way... can this world card be used?"

"I'll go try it right away!" The system tapped the blank character card in its inventory, directly entering the editing interface. It exclaimed in surprise, "It really works, host!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ling was extremely excited. This meant she could try herself and... wait, this world doesn't seem quite right.

There's something wrong with that side quest!

She possessed a ghost, but a side story led her to make the supernatural world scientific, and ghosts disappeared from the world!

"Let's talk about the character cards later. Let's check the system shop first."

【Okay~】The system obediently did as instructed.

Opening the system shop, the items sold this time weren't against Yu Ling at all. There were concentrated yin-energy drinks, guiding incense, soul-soliciting lamps, and eye drops that allowed people to see ghosts. There was also food for ghosts, incense, candles, and the like—all of good quality and inexpensive.

"Let's close it for now, and buy it when we need it."

After seeing the side quest, Yu Ling knew that the character card couldn't be wasted as a toy. The store was offering such a great deal, so she had to make a good plan.

While Yu Ling was deep in thought, Ji Hongxi's car arrived. Two honks of the horn brought the two back to their senses. The window rolled down, and a handsome, nonchalant face approached, greeting them:

"Hey beautiful ladies, wanna go out?"

"I advise you not to try anything funny with the person next to me!" Yu Ling opened the car door first and let Tan Yiman get in, then sat on the other side of the back seat. "Thank you so much, Brother Hongxi, for coming to my rescue. I'm very grateful. I'll protect you tonight!"

"Alright, I'm counting on you today." Ji Hongxi stepped on the gas and headed towards their destination, but with the female lead, a relatively unfamiliar person going the same way, in the car, he couldn't leave her out. "By the way, Yu Ning, what's this girl's name? Is she also going to Wenxi Villa District? Does she want to do a live stream with us?"

Yu Ling: I don't know any of the answers to your questions!

The female lead, who always answers questions, still gave me face and replied.

“My name is Tan Yiman. Yes. I’m not with you.”

This reply was broken into three unrelated parts, and anyone who didn't remember the question from earlier would not understand it at all.
