Kaguya-sama: Love Is War wants me to turn myself in.

Kitagawa Uimeng: "..."

They're just fooling people again.

Didi's game boosting service has only just begun, and the man in front of me is probably the first player customer!

The male player's expression was complicated, clearly speechless, but since he was already there, he naturally leaned towards believing him, and whispered:

"I only need game items from blind boxes, any type, even regular items are fine?"

“That’s right.” Natsuki Amamiya said firmly, “The most important thing in life is reputation. Our Didi driving service is a century-old business, and our reputation is the most important thing.”

The horror game has only just begun, and the claim of a century-old establishment is just too far-fetched!

The male player suppressed his urge to complain and whispered:

"……How much?"

“It’s not up to me.” Upon hearing this, Natsuki Amamiya looked at Kaguya. “Please consult with our senior manager.”

Kaguya Shinomiya stepped forward, her voice cool and composed: "Please set the item you wish to exchange to display mode. We need to conduct a simple value assessment."

"..."

The items you get from blind boxes are all sorts of strange things. Aside from being able to be added to your game inventory, some of them are really worthless.

'Endless leeks' are fine; they can come in handy in certain special situations, such as feeding cows. But 'a suspicious pack of tissues,' 'half an eraser,' 'expired bread,' and so on—I really can't think of any use for them.

Kaguya Shinomiya's goal is to be a capitalist; if she weren't a philanthropist, she certainly wouldn't want to exchange something that's completely useless.

"..."

After a while.

Transaction successful.

The male player took out several game items and handed them to Kaguya Shinomiya, while Natsuki Amamiya handed over the game completion tokens.

The two parties exchanged money and goods simultaneously.

"If I hold this strange coin, can I just pass through the invisible wall and get out?"

The male player nervously confirmed.

“That’s right.” Kitagawa Kaimu nodded. “You can try it now.”

The male player exhaled, reached out and touched the invisible wall, and his eyes lit up immediately.

The invisible wall of air that had previously blocked him could now be easily passed through.

As I passed the cashier, the game notification sounded, and I excitedly exclaimed:

"I received a notification that I've completed the game!"

"Please give us a five-star review." Amamiya Natsuki smiled.

"..."

The male player vanished instantly, teleported away.

"I'll help whoever I can." Fujiwara Chika wasn't very interested in the items she'd traded for, and said softly, "I wonder if there are any other players."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a soft thud was heard from the dark corner.

Natsuki Amamiya looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dog-headed doll rolling on the ground.

"Don't attack, everyone! We're on the same side!"

After rolling twice, the kobold sat up, shaking its head, and then quickly removed its mask, revealing the face of a young girl:

“I’m a gamer, and I also want to purchase the ‘Didi boosting’ service.”

obviously.

The female player had arrived long ago, but she didn't show herself immediately. She only revealed herself after the man from before had finished the game and left.

"Me too, I want to make a trade."

Another voice came from the darkness, and yet another player dressed in a dinosaur costume appeared.

Fujiwara Chika: “…”

So many people are cunning and deceitful!

Chapter 177 We Have a Traitor Among Us

It turns out.

Players who prioritize survival and avoiding danger are the mainstream players in horror games.

I thought two or three people would be enough, but more and more players kept coming over.

These players were almost all dressed in mascot costumes, and they moved cautiously and carefully. After observing for a while, they came out to purchase the 'Didi Pass' service.

Then everyone was happy.

Upon receiving notification that they had completed the game, these players were extremely excited, and no one expressed the slightest dissatisfaction or complaint.

Using useless items to complete a game seems like a sure-fire way to make money.

Seeking higher game scores and rewards?

Since everyone's opted for the 'Didi Clearance' service, who cares about those other things?

The goal of ordinary players is to leave the game alive and return to reality.

"It's finally over..."

A male player, whose clothes were tattered, hair disheveled, and bloodstains on his pants, received the game notification and was so moved that his voice choked with emotion, "Thank you so much."

"Please don't be so polite," Natsuki Amamiya replied with a smile. "'Kaguya-brand Didi Clearance' has always been reasonably priced and honest. I hope to be able to serve you again if we encounter each other in the game in the future."

"..."

After completing the game, the male player quickly teleported away.

"Um, that man seemed to be crying just now?" Fujiwara Chika crossed her arms and muttered to herself, "What happened that would make a man cry?"

Natsuki Amamiya: "There are some bloodstains on my pants."

Kaimu Kitagawa: "His walking posture is also very strange."

The girl with glasses blurted out, "Player Zero?"

"Huh?" Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Player Zero? What do you mean?"

Despite being a pampered young lady raised in a sterile environment, Kaguya Shinomiya's physiological knowledge is less than that of an elementary school student, and she has no idea what "Player Zero" means.

"Huh?" The bespectacled player exclaimed in surprise, "You didn't know?"

"Why should I know?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked, even more puzzled. "Is it some kind of common sense?"

"Cough cough cough." Fujiwara Chika quickly coughed, forcibly changing the subject, "Kaguya-chan, please don't ask anymore, that kind of thing is not important at all!"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the pink-haired idiot.

You're exposing yourself! Old Si Ji's identity can no longer be hidden!

“That’s right, Kaguya-san, don’t ask anymore.” Kitagawa Kaimu put her right hand on her hip. “It’s actually internet slang from the gaming world, it’s normal that you don’t know it.”

Very good, another veteran driver has revealed her identity.

Amamiya Natsuki looked down at the silver-haired loli again.

"stare--"

Apollen looked up at him with his chubby little face expressionless.

The identity of the old driver is questionable.

These days, all the high school girls are seasoned pros!

"Natsuki-kun?"

Kaguya Shinomiya slightly pursed her beautiful lips and looked at Natsuki Amamiya.

"Don't look at me," Natsuki Amamiya said with a straight face. "How could I, a guy, possibly know your girls' secrets?"

"..."

"Perfunctory!"

Shinomiya Teru couldn't help but scold him.

The perfunctory expression was completely undisguised, which was infuriating.

"Let's get down to business." Kaguya Shinomiya's pretty face tightened slightly. "We've run out of clearance coins."

"Received." Amamiya Natsuki nodded. "Is another round of crackdown on organized crime necessary... Hanamori-kun, where is the nearest monster?"

"The east side of the fourth floor." Hayasaka Ai pushed up her glasses, subtly pressed her throat, and changed her voice, "There aren't many monsters wandering in the corridor anymore."

“There must be monsters lurking in the shadows.” Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and turned to look at the Ghost Girl. “I’m counting on you now. For every monster you find, I’ll give you an extra 100,000 yen, with no upper limit.”

"Leave it to me!" Miss Ghost's eyes practically turned into the shape of money. "We'll dig three feet into the ground to find them all!"

It's worth noting that the average monthly salary for a recent college graduate is only around 200,000 yen.

Finding two monsters is equivalent to a month's salary—it's incredibly profitable, and no one can refuse, not even ghosts!

Kitagawa Uimeng couldn't help but whispered:

"Can money make even ghosts do the millstone?"

Natsuki Amamiya continued, "It's no problem for the millstone to push the ghost."

"..."

True capitalists should learn how to get ghosts to work overtime voluntarily.

The party continued.

The bespectacled player and the silver-haired loli remained on the first floor to greet other players, while Amamiya Natsuki and the others stayed together and did not separate.

"I found it." Miss Ghost quickly emerged from a toy store, willingly becoming a traitor. "There's a monster clown inside, and I saw it throwing knives."

Amamiya Natsuki said:
