You made all the streamers on the internet kneel before you when you were asked to make a game.

As soon as Brother Long finished speaking, the entire federal network was completely paralyzed.

#GamesThatFederalLawCannotTouch#

#As long as you're bold#

One outrageous and outrageous hashtag after another dominated the top of the trending topics lists on all social media platforms.

The number of online viewers and live stream viewers for "Reincarnation" doubled in just ten minutes.

Countless players who were previously observing are now flocking to the Nebula platform like madmen, eager to experience this ridiculously "realistic" game for themselves.

The phone of the general manager of the Nebula platform has been ringing off the hook.

It was all his cronies who, through roundabout means, inquired whether there really were any "hidden services" in the game.

Happiness Apartment, Room 404.

Hao Ren held a steaming cup of goji berry tea, calmly watching the heat curve on the virtual screen in front of him, which seemed to be about to break through the sky.

He never expected things to develop to this point.

The Ghost Bride's "turning paper into flesh" was originally a hidden advancement path he designed.

The triggering conditions are extremely stringent.

Players need to have a special profession related to "son-in-law", and also need to reach a certain level of bond with the ghost bride in a specific environment where yin energy and water vapor are extremely abundant, and... the player's yang energy must be strong enough.

The chosen one, Berserker Dragon, perfectly fulfills all the conditions.

As for that "wise man" expression...

It was purely accidental.

But this unexpected event had an explosive effect.

Players mistakenly believed that in "Reincarnation", they could have some kind of indescribable intimate interaction with the female ghost.

This topic immediately crossed the line into federal law.

Although federal law strictly prohibits any form of pornographic content from appearing in virtual games, this "borderline" implication, along with players' boundless imagination, has propelled the game's popularity to an unprecedented peak.

"Should we... issue a statement to clarify?"

Hao Ren stroked his chin.

clarify?

No, there's no need.

This "good guy" never interferes with the players' free imagination.

Looking at the skyrocketing fear level in the background, Hao Ren had a new idea.

These fear thresholds partly stem from players' dread of the ghost bride materializing.

Another part comes from their complex emotions, a mixture of excitement, curiosity, and a reckless impulse.

Since the players are so enthusiastic, we need to find them something to do.

We need to give them a reason to work even harder to "die".

Hao Ren's fingers tapped lightly on the virtual keyboard.

A brand new update announcement was pushed to all players of "Reincarnation".

[Reincarnation World Update Announcement: The Underworld Coin Shop (Beta) is Officially Launched!]

[Though separated by life and death, the money and goods are settled.]

To enhance the survival experience for both "Returning Souls" and "Outsiders," we have opened a small shop at the boundary between Yin and Yang.

All "ghost coins" obtained by players in the game are now available as "Yin-Yang Coins".

You can use ghost coins to purchase the following (selected) items in the "Ghost Coin Shop":

【1. Yang Energy Candle (Small): Price: 200 Hell Coins. After lighting, it slowly restores lost maximum health over 30 minutes and dispels mild Yin energy corrosion. ("Feeling completely drained? Grab one and become a real man again!")】

2. Substitute Straw Man (Inferior Quality): Price: 1000 Ghost Coins. Can withstand one fatal blow from an unconventional kill. Limited to one purchase per player every 24 hours. ("Sometimes, an extra life is an extra world.")

3. House-protecting talisman (replica): Price: 50 ghost coins. Placed on the door, it provides a weak protective effect during curfew. ("Whether it works or not is unknown, but it gives me peace of mind.")

4. Guiding Incense: Priced at 10 Ghost Coins. Once lit, the direction the ash drifts may point to a safe zone, or it may... point to deeper despair.

More products coming soon...

[Friendly Reminder: Ghost money can be obtained by completing quests, exploring hidden areas, or selling "something of yours" to "specific NPCs". Enjoy the game!]

This announcement once again ignited the player community.

If the previous trending topic "Dihua" only aroused players' frivolous curiosity about the game.

The appearance of the "Ghost Coin Shop" completely ignited everyone's hardcore gaming spirit!

"Holy crap! A Yang Qi Candle! Isn't this tailor-made for Brother Long?!"

"A substitute straw man! 1000 ghost money each! So expensive! But I really want one!"

"Now we've got something to do! Brothers, forget about dating ghosts, making money is the only way!"

"Selling something of yours..." Something doesn't feel right to that statement. Does it refer to fingers or kidneys?

Inside the coffin shop.

The Berserker Dragon, who had just recovered a little, stared wide-eyed the moment he saw the announcement.

He stared intently at the description of "Yang Qi Candle".

"Become a real man again!"

This "GG" phrase really hit him right in the heart!

He desperately needs this right now!

He felt that if he didn't replenish himself, he might really be drained dry the next time his wife was "hungry".

"Buy! We absolutely have to buy it!"

Brother Long excitedly opened the ghost money shop.

Then, when he looked at the balance column of his account, the bright "0", the smile on his face instantly froze.

Oh, right...

He has no money.

Not a single penny.

Even when he used to take the bus, it was the cult leader who helped him out.

Brother Long's expression instantly changed from great joy to great sorrow.

He turned to look at the quiet yet terrifying ghost bride beside him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

This gigolo...

What we ate was...

I fucking love it and hate it at the same time!

Meanwhile, on the streets of Seamist Town, Lu Zhixing was leading the veteran driver and the other surviving players cautiously forward.

The salty sea breeze swept by, stirring up the puddles on the ground and hitting my face with a chilling cold.

The surrounding buildings were covered with black barnacles and seaweed that looked like shells or plants, wriggling slightly in the gray fog.

The entire town looked as if it had been pulled up from the seabed.

The experienced driver followed behind Lu Zhixing, trembling with regret.

If he had known this world of "Reincarnation" was so terrifying, he wouldn't have driven that bus.

Now, things are even worse; the car is gone, and we're stuck in this godforsaken place.

But he was reluctant to log off, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Lu Zhixing and the others on their adventures.

Lu Zhixing and his group looked at a shop not far away with a sign that read "May you have both happiness and longevity," which meant they were close to Brother Long.

Just as they were about to cross an intersection, Lu Zhixing suddenly stopped and abruptly pulled everyone under the eaves of a nearby building.

"Don't move, something's coming."

P.S.: Here's an extra chapter! Happy New Year everyone! May you all be happy every day and have all your wishes come true in the new year!
