"Don't show off your wealth?" The ghost tailor curled up the corners of his scarlet lips, and stared straight into Yue Ya's eyes with his one eye: "You are right, if you had covered up this pair of fine buttons, I wouldn't have been thinking about it until now."
Yue Ya remained calm and composed, and even had the leisure to drink a sip of tea, saying casually: "Come and get it if you can."
It’s time for Feifei’s midnight snack. The child is growing, so five meals a day is not too much, right?
"No hurry, I'm here to get another pair of buttons today," the ghost tailor looked at Lihua dimly, raised his hand and gently stroked her ear, and his one-eyed face became resentful: "Little girl, you hit me so hard... I want to ask you for a pair of buttons as compensation, do you have any objection?"
The ghost tailor appeared in front of Lihua, with the sharp silver needle placed just under her eyeball, as if it would pierce into her eyeball at the next moment.
Lihua's eyelashes fluttered with fear, and tears came out, rolling over the silver needles, making a sizzling sound. Her heart was about to jump out of her throat, but her mind was calm, and she kept repeating what Yue Ya said - hit her again!
Smash her! Smash her!
"Ahhhhhh!" Lihua howled to give herself courage, then picked up the stone inkstone and smashed it hard on the ghost tailor's head!
The ghost tailor didn't expect that Lihua picked up the inkstone and hid it. He was hit hard on the head and flew out with a scream.
This time the ghost tailor did not disappear immediately, but was almost driven crazy by the attack. She stared at Lihua with resentment and floated towards her again. The strong resentment made the room cool down as if it had entered a cold winter.
"Lihua, reject her." Yueya reminded loudly.
Lihua remembered the rule Yueya had mentioned, and hurriedly shouted to the ghost tailor, "I refuse! I don't want to give you the button! Go away!!"
The ghost tailor was rejected, her rampage was interrupted, and she entered a period of silence towards Lihua. But she was so angry that she turned around and saw Yue Ya with a calm expression, and she went berserk again.
She teleported in front of Yue Ya with resentment all over her body, pointing at the scar on her blind eye and saying, "You hurt me. I'm so pitiful. I need a new button... I need a new button!"
Yue Ya looked at her with pity and reached out his hand to her: "I feel sorry for you too."
"Give me your buttons, promise me!" The ghost tailor grabbed his wrist eagerly.
Yue Ya twisted his wrist, and pinched her neck with his bony fingers, his voice as cold as water: "No."
The necklace hidden in Yueya's hand automatically wrapped around the ghost tailor's neck and locked with a "click".
[The player "Crescent Moon" used the item "Chain" on the Wraith Tailor, trapping the Wraith in place until the chain broke. ]
The ghost tailor anxiously pulled the necklace on her neck, but was tortured to the point of screaming. In the end, she had no choice but to give up struggling and continue to stare at Yue Ya with resentment. Her soul was locked, and the things she brought could not be hidden. The gem box and the clothes with eyeballs sewn on them were exposed in mid-air.
Yue Ya's eyes were still full of compassion, and she slowly said, "You are so pitiful, but I can make you even more pitiful."
Lihua didn't expect Yueya to have this skill, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Brother Yue, steady."
The ghost tailor gnashed his teeth and scratched Yue Ya with his sharp nails: "Let go!"
Yueya easily avoided her range of motion and came around to the gem box. She blinked her beautiful eyes and said in a gentle voice, "Fengjuan, I just need a string of gems. Can you give me this string of gems?"
Ghost Tailor: “…” This line sounds so familiar!
Lihua smiled: "Give and take! I've taught you to be pitiful and ask for eyes every day. Now it's your turn!"
The ghost tailor pinched his palms and endured the humiliation: "This is the dowry I have saved all these years. If I give it to you, will you let me go?"
Yue Ya took the gem and raised the corner of his lips: "According to your rules, I will not only take the gem, but also your life."
The ghost tailor kept silent and became even more resentful.
There was a Yin energy coming from the side, Yue Ya turned his head and saw a sharp silver needle swimming towards him!
Yue Ya quickly grabbed the silver needle and put it in front of the ghost tailor's one eye. His eyes dimmed and he asked, "Do you want to blind another eye?"
The silver needle clearly scratched his palm, and blood flowed over his thin white wrist, adding a dangerous aura to him. He would really stab me!
The ghost tailor was so scared that he immediately closed his one eye.
Yueya snorted and laughed. The same sneak attack trick didn't work last night, so how could it work tonight? He didn't know how to improve his skills. How could he complete the NPC's work quota?
Lihua was delighted. She touched her eyes which were chilled by the evil spirit and said to the ghost tailor, "Now you know how horrible it is to put a needle in front of your eye! It will make you want to dig out other people's eyes every day!"
The ghost tailor tried to recall the silver needle, but to no avail, and never dared to open her eyes. Although the needle belonged to her, it could hurt her indiscriminately.
Yueya narrowed her eyes and said lazily, "Fengjuan, my cat is hungry. It's still so small. You can't bear to see it hungry, right?"
Fei Fei looked at the ghost tailor and his ears stood up: "Meow~"
A tear of blood fell from the ghost tailor's tightly closed eye, and she said desperately: "Eat if you want to, and don't call my name anymore!" Now she began to get scared when she heard her own name.
Lihua was amazed. To be able to force the vengeful spirit to this extent, Brother Yue was truly a god-level player.
Since the ghost tailor said so, Fei Fei didn't hesitate, and jumped onto her shoulder with the help of the table, biting the most vulnerable part. The little puppet was afraid of ghosts, so he hid under the table and watched secretly.
The ghost tailor was in so much pain that she burst into tears: "I must have come in the wrong way!" She regretted it! She shouldn't have come to this room!
The ghost tailor had lost a lot of negative energy, and her resentment was not as great as before. Yue Ya came to her and pricked her finger with a needle when she was not paying attention.
The ghost tailor cried out, "What are you doing!"
Yue Ya pinched her fingers that were filled with evil spirits and pressed them on a piece of paper that she had prepared in advance: "Okay."
The ghost tailor didn't see clearly what kind of paper he was holding, and reached out to grab it: "What's good? What did you do??"
"It's not something important. I want to ask you a question." Yue Ya put away the paper and didn't show it to her. He stepped back: "What is your relationship with Chen Wang? Why did you trick the program team to come here?"
The ghost tailor sneered: "Why should I tell you?"
"I guess it has something to do with your enemy. You said you would be entangled with him for the rest of your life..." Yue Ya stared at her face and said in a deep voice, "Is he reincarnated?"
Yue Ya has been thinking about this question since he saw the handwriting, and now it is time to verify it.
The ghost tailor's one eye was filled with hatred, and he instantly lost control of his emotions: "This scumbag is reincarnated, so what! I would sell my soul just to find him and kill him!"
Yue Ya narrowed his eyes and provoked her: "But you didn't find it."
"I found it." The ghost tailor's state suddenly changed. He seemed to have something to rely on and calmed down. He didn't mind letting him know this information: "He is among you. Just kill you all."
"Swish, swish, swish..." There was a strange noise outside the house, as if something was coming.
When Yue Ya saw the look in the Ghost Tailor's eyes, he suddenly thought of something and his heart sank: "Fei Fei, come back!"
Feifei reacted quickly, let go immediately, and jumped onto Yueya, and the little puppet crawled into the wall.
"Bang!!" The ghost tailor suddenly exploded, and evil energy rushed everywhere!
Yueya held Feifei and dodged. The Yin Qi swept across his back, and he was frozen numb. Lihua was far away and was not affected, but she was scared: "Brother Yue, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Yue Ya put Fei Fei down, the black fog dissipated, and the ghost tailor was left with only one hand, but this hand rushed towards the window!
A strange black shadow appeared outside the window at some point. Yue Ya and Fei Fei tried to chase the broken hand at the same time, but it was too late. The ghost tailor had already used his Yin Qi to knock the window open!
"Huahua..." Dense banyan tree tendrils rushed in from the window, and some of them swept away the ghost tailor's severed hand.
The two fragile windows were crushed to pieces by the banyan tree tendrils. These astonishing numbers of banyan tree tendrils invaded the house through the windows, crawling along the walls and the ground. Yue Ya seemed to see thousands of poisonous snakes rushing in at the same time, they squirmed and made wet sounds.
Yue Ya felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. This scene was similar to what he had imagined, but it was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Lihua's legs went weak, and she held onto the wall to move to the innermost part: "Brother Yue! We won't be unable to escape, will we?"
Yue Ya stepped back, avoiding the banyan tree whiskers on the ground: "They are not targeting us, they will leave."
Not long after, these aggressive banyan tree beards began to retreat and evacuate the house.
Yueya walked to the window and looked out. The big banyan tree was no different from usual, with its leaves swaying slightly in the dark night. It was eerie and silent, as if nothing had happened.
"That's terrible. Are those... the aerial roots of the banyan tree?" Lihua finally found her voice. "But the tree is so far away from us. How can these aerial roots grow so long?"
Yueya said: "That banyan tree is very strange, but it seems that it can't kill people directly."
There is no way to describe this weirdness. This tree must have some special abilities and be controlled by someone or some rules.
"The ghost tailor only has one hand left. It doesn't matter if she was swept away, right?" Lihua sat on the ground and rubbed her weak calves. "Even if she can heal herself, she won't be the same as before."
Yue Ya is not optimistic: "The ghost tailor has been pretending to cooperate just to wait for the opportunity to escape. She must have left a way out if she dares to self-destruct. The banyan tree may be a variable."
But it doesn’t matter, he has a backup plan.
"Anyway, we've made it through tonight." Lihua felt that following Yueya, her mentality had improved a lot, and she took out a stone inkstone that looked like a brick: "If she comes back, we'll hit her again!!"
Yueya nodded: "Very good."
"Ah, ah..." Lihua's eyes widened: "Brother Yue, this inkstone has become a prop!"
Some special items will be upgraded to props after experiencing certain events, and Yue Ya allowed her to pick them up because he thought of this possibility.
"Tell me about the props' properties."
"It's an advanced item called 'Smash It'. It's an offensive item." Lihua rubbed her nose. "But my luck has never been good. I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing."
"Good."
Lihua remembered something: "By the way, Brother Yue, did you take out a piece of white paper before? What was that?"
Yueya took out the paper and handed it to her: "Contract."
Lihua didn't understand what was going on. She took it and looked at it. Wasn't this the contract for the trial sleeping in the mansion?
"Is there something mysterious about this contract?" Lihua looked carefully and suddenly found that the content of the contract had been changed! The important terms were changed to allow the program crew to terminate the filming at any time and leave at any time, and Party A was not allowed to entangle!
And on this new contract, there was left the evil fingerprint of the ghost tailor!
Lihua was excited and her mind was racing: "At the instance level, the old contract took effect without the player's consent, but this new contract can be enforced no matter what means the player uses, as long as the fingerprints of the two parties are obtained! Brother Yue, you have a really good brain!"
I'm afraid the ghost tailor didn't even know that he had jumped into a big pit while delaying time.
Yueya: "This game is a bit tricky. I just need to be careful to prevent any accidents."
No, the accident really happened.
Yue Ya found some tools and temporarily sealed the damaged window: "Although the house in this copy cannot protect against ghosts, it can protect against the tree. As long as the doors and windows are not opened from inside, the tree will not come in, so the ghost tailor has to work hard to open the window."
Similarly, if the tall and thin young man had not opened the window when sleeping that night, his body would not have been rolled into the banyan tree.
Lihua nodded: "It will feel safer if the windows are sealed."
Yue Ya: "The bond between us and the Ghost Tailor has been temporarily severed. We can sleep peacefully in the second half of the night."
"Good night." Lihua carried Shi Yan back to the room.
Yueya was making the bed in the empty room next door. The new quilt she had found was relatively soft. Feifei was slowly stepping on it, looking very comfortable.
Yue Ya sat on the bed and took out the string of gems she got from the ghost tailor.
System prompts:
[The player "Crescent Moon" obtains the advanced item "Grudge Gem", which can be used to collect resentment. ]
This notice is somewhat vague and does not specify the purpose of collecting resentment.
There are eight beads in this string, each of a different color, shining brightly under the dim light. Yue Ya had no interest in such shiny things before, but now she can't let go of them, and a strange sense of satisfaction arises in her heart.
Yueya handed the gem to Feifei and said, "Feifei, do you like it?"
Feifei curiously pushed the gem with his paw, and suddenly poked his furry head over, licked the ruby, and then lowered his head to take several bites.
But it was too young and its teeth were not strong enough to bite it. Yue Ya took it back and saw several tooth marks on the ruby where people had tried unsuccessfully.
"You want to eat this?"
Feifei caught up and licked it again, expressing his love with his actions.
Yue Ya's eyes softened. "You are too young to eat it now. I will use it to accumulate resentment and wait until you grow up before eating it."
Feifei ate a lot tonight and had no objection to this.
The ghost tailor blew himself up and smashed the diamond necklace into pieces. Now this string of gems is Yue Ya's only collection.
Beautiful collections should be appreciated by more people. He remembered that he had a live broadcast room and turned on the barrage.
Because Yue Ya was passive in his business and did not show any special abilities afterwards, the number of viewers attracted to the Pixiu system decreased a lot, but the popularity of the live broadcast room was still much higher than the previous copy.
Most of the audience were watching the game online, while a small number of them were discussing Yue Ya's tricks and the plot of the dungeon. They were slow to notice that after Yue Ya opened the barrage in the live broadcast room, they all shouted "New Year's Day".
[This must be the most passive live broadcast room in the entire server!]
[Yuezi, promise mom to watch more comments, okay? Won't you feel sorry for missing our rainbow farts?]
[Tell me, host, what is the purpose of opening the barrage this time?]
Yueya took out the string of gems and said, "I plan to use it to make a necklace for Feifei. What do you think?"
[This string of gems is not worthy of us, let’s keep it as a snack]
[“Use mine!” Rewarded with 1 colorful glass bead]
[“Yuezi Look at Me” gave a rare pigeon blood ruby*1]
[“Mine is even more dazzling!” Rewarded Cornflower Sapphire*10]
Suddenly, many viewers began to reward with gems. Yue Ya slowly tilted his head and looked at his reward list. Before this copy, it had always been dried fish and cabbage. From this copy on, the rewards suddenly became gorgeous. Some people even rewarded him with flowers, spiritual pearls, etc., but he didn't turn on the barrage so he didn't notice it.
His eyes were dazzled by the increasing number of gems.
Like dried fish, some rewards will be physical rewards. If nothing goes wrong, he will have a lot of rare gems after leaving this copy.
Yue Ya showed a confused expression: "I used to think you were all poor."
[So you need to open more business to discover a different world~]
[The Pixiu is born with a love for money and shiny gems. Yuezi, have you not discovered what is different about yourself?]
[Moon, do you want more sparkling gems? Please be active! When you want, just say "Hungry~Food~" to the screen and we will give you a reward! ]
Yue Ya really started to like these things. He didn’t know how to run the business, but at least he didn’t close the live broadcast room.
Before going to bed, he wanted to check his little horn, so he used the screen of the live broadcast room as a mirror, removed the bandage, and took off his hat.
After wearing this thing for a whole day, the skin under the little horn was rubbed a little red. Yue Ya touched the red skin and frowned. His hair was also pressed by the hat and frizzed up. With a young horn on top, his pale face showed a bit of irritability.
Suddenly, he found that there was something different about himself on the screen!
He pulled his ears. How did they become elf ears?
It seemed that it was also affected by the Pixiu bloodline. He loosened his ear and pressed the little horn. It was harder than when it first grew out, but still very fragile.
He murmured under his breath: "Why can't I shrink it back? This doesn't make sense."
I don’t know how to hide these features, and it’s a bit stuffy to wear a hat all the time.
[Ahhh, so cute! I saw the little horn again, and the elf ears, I'm so cute! But is the baby's ** still there? I heard that the Pixiu doesn't have it...]
[I always feel that the host's appearance has become more stunning after awakening the system. I hope he doesn't find a way to hide his corners so quickly]
[“The little Pixiu is the one that deserves to be held in the arms!” Rewarded with 100 spiritual diamonds]
The audience was very excited and gave him tips enthusiastically.
Yue Ya had been busy all day and was so sleepy that even the gems could not relieve his sleepiness. He lay down on the bed and stretched out his long limbs.
Feifei lay down next to him, retracted his short front paws, revealing his pink belly, and purred happily. The little puppet quietly crawled out from the wall, snuggled up to Feifei, hugged his furry paws, and rubbed them contentedly.
Feeling sleepy, Yue Ya gradually fell into sleep.
"Open the door... Open the door..."
Yueya heard some chattering sounds, as if someone was banging something to make a noise.
Yue Ya felt something nudging him. He opened his eyes and saw a little puppet lying on his chest. It pointed at the window with its short little fingers.
Yue Ya looked towards the window and saw a tall and thin shadow lying on the window, as if trying to get inside.
"Open the door, I want to go in and sleep..." The thin black shadow made a vague voice.
Yue Ya looked at the shadow coldly and said in an unhappy voice: "No one is home, get out."
Feifei bent his waist, raised his tail, bared his teeth at the window, and growled threateningly. Why do such ignorant ghosts always disturb people's sweet dreams?
The dark shadow on the window shrank back in fear, not daring to speak anymore, and slowly moved away.
Yue Ya touched Fei Fei's back soothingly, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Early in the morning, Yue Ya was awakened by knocking on the door again.
This time the knocking was louder. He hadn't slept well and his face looked even colder. He put on his hat and walked towards the living room.
When he opened the door, he saw a tall and thin young man standing in front of it.
When he saw this face, his sleepiness instantly evaporated.
The tall and thin young man showed a tired expression and said in a natural tone: "Why did you lock the door? I can't get in. Can you make way? I'm very sleepy and want to go in and sleep."
