Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

[Dining Hall]

The translation is "restaurant".

Lu was the last one to come down, and Chen Chen saved a seat for him; the two sat next to each other.

"Why is everyone dressed like they're in heat?" Lu Ye glanced around.

I noticed that the guys sitting at the table were all dressed up in fancy clothes, and some even had their hair styled.

They could be taken out and used for blind dates.

"Don't you know the core mechanics of this dungeon?" The first to speak was a man with gold-rimmed glasses.

This guy was wearing a flashy dark red suit, with a delicate tulip tucked into his collar.

"Rule Six [The Widow's Favor]: The higher the widow's favor towards you, the more advantageous it is in the dungeon, and the higher the chance of getting high-level rewards after clearing the dungeon."

The person who answered was a burly, bald man.

"A beautiful but lonely woman needs to be conquered."

This guy was wearing suspender suit pants, and he wasn't wearing a shirt on his upper body. He only had two straps, which revealed his bodybuilding-champion-like muscles.

The other two also each had their own strengths to showcase.

Chen Chen frowned when he saw that Lu Ye was listening intently: "You don't know?"

"Should I know?" Lu Ye retorted.

"It's mentioned in the dungeon guides sold by the Tricksters Association. That shouldn't be the case, don't you have a membership with them?"

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes: "How did you know I'm a member of their company?"

"hey-hey."

........

Ring ring ring.

The bell rang to signal that dinner was ready.

Kirishima Yukino, dressed in a mature woman's outfit, walked gracefully in, followed by her taciturn husband pushing a food cart.

"Dinner is ready, guests."

Chen Chen brandished his knife and fork. "I'm starving! The food here is actually pretty good, you should try it later."

Lu also took out two bottles of ice-cold beer, one for each of them, and prepared for the meal.

"Where did it come from?" Chen Chen's eyes lit up immediately.

"Free-flowing drinks in the room's refrigerator."

"Damn capitalists!" Chen Chen gritted his teeth.

Without a loyal partner, he could only stay in a single room on the second floor, which didn't even have a refrigerator.

Kirishima Yukino pulled her mother's dress tighter and instructed her husband to serve everyone the dishes.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses stood up first, took Kirishima Yukino's delicate hand in one hand, and elegantly kissed her hand.

"Thank you for your hospitality, beautiful lady. These dishes look as beautiful and tempting as you."

She then gave the red tulip from her bosom to the other person.

"Please accept the first tulip of the night."

"Thank you, elegant sir." Kirishima Yukino's beautiful eyes sparkled.

[Kirishima Yukino's favorability towards Zhang Heng +8.]

A notification message suddenly flashed before my eyes.

Ok?

At that moment, the bald, muscular man had somehow appeared behind Kirishima Yukino.

He thoughtfully pulled out a chair, holding a bottle of red wine in his hand.

boo~

He demonstrated opening a red wine bottle with his pectoral muscles on the spot.

"This bottle of 82 red wine is one I specially prepared; I hope you will like it."

Kirishima Yukino placed her hand on that muscular arm, which was thicker than an average person's thigh, and gently squeezed it. "Thank you too, my mighty gentleman."

The muscular man used his pectoral muscles to form a heart shape, saying, "It's my pleasure, madam."

[Kirishima Yukino's favorability towards Lu Shen increases by 10.]

Another guy, dressed like a playboy, cast a loving glance at Kirishima Yukino.

She reached out her finger and gently wiped away a tiny red stain from the corner of Kirishima Yukino's mouth.

After wiping it off, he put it in his mouth.

suck.

"You must be exhausted from preparing for this dinner. Look, there are ash stains all over here."

"I'm sorry, it was my rudeness." Kirishima Yukino's gaze was beautiful and captivating.

"No, whatever has lingered on that beautiful face, makes me jealous."

The playboy shook his head affectionately, then took Kirishima Yukino's hand and placed it on his chest.

"Can you feel it, my lady? Let this burning heart warm your cold hands."

[Kirishima Yukino's favorability towards Liu Mingyi +8]

........

"Didn't you prepare a gift?"

Chen Chen nudged Lu Ye with his elbow, "Or maybe you should have prepared some sycophantic lines beforehand?"

Lu looked at the food in front of him for a moment, then looked up at Kirishima Yukino and said, "The food is good, but put less salt in it next time."

[Kirishima Yukino's favorability towards you -10.]

"Hehehe." Chen Chen laughed like a pig.

[Kirishima Yukino's favorability towards you -8.]

"......."

Lu Ye: "Why aren't you smiling? Have you suddenly stopped liking to smile?"

Chen Chen: "I'm afraid she'll ask me to go to her room at night."

Lu Ye then turned to look at her incompetent husband pushing the food cart to the side.

"They're harassing your wife like that right in front of you. I really couldn't stand it if I were in their shoes."

The only response he received was a wooden smile.

"hehe."

........

Dinner was a "modified" kaiseki meal.

Each person has thirteen dishes in front of them, including sashimi, fried food, cold dishes, rice, and soup.

It's called a "mutated version" because before entering the restaurant, Kirishima Yukino had everyone choose two dishes individually.

There are six living people sitting here, each with two steps, so there should be twelve steps.

But there are thirteen dishes here.

There's one more step.

.......

Rule Three: [Dinner]

If any dishes that no one has ordered are served on the table, they must not be eaten.

........

Apart from Lu Ye, no one else touched their chopsticks.

Because everyone only knows the dish they ordered, and doesn't know what other people ordered.

Therefore, it is impossible to determine which dish is inedible.

In A-level eerie dungeons, directly violating prohibited rules has serious consequences.

"I would be very sad if I didn't eat the dinner that was specially prepared for the guests."

Yukino Kirishima, seated at the head of the table, smiled as she looked at everyone.

"Please enjoy your meal, guest."

........

Rule Six: [The Widow's Favor]

Make sure your widow appreciates you; if she invites you out, the consequences of refusing will be severe.

........

Rule Six appears simultaneously, meaning everyone now has to eat.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

The bespectacled man smiled and picked up his chopsticks first, eating the two dishes he had ordered.

Enjoy!

This is an "invitation" from Kirishima Yukino; refusing it will cause Kirishima Yukino to lose sanity.

Conversely, the more she enjoys, the happier Kirishima Yukino will be, and the higher her favorability rating will be.

Everyone ate the two dishes they knew about first, and then ate with extreme caution, their eyes constantly darting and exchanging glances across the table.

Lu Ye's chopsticks never stopped.

With his Yin-Yang Ghost Eyes, he knows which dishes are inedible.

Chen Chen, sitting next to him, kept eating with his chopsticks.

He ate whatever dish Lu ate.

As he was eating, Lu felt a foot rubbing against his leg under the table.

It resembles a nimble little snake.

Starting from the calf, it slowly winds its way up to the knee, thigh, and groin.

Sticky, provocative...

Rubbing and rubbing.

I looked up.

He happened to see Kirishima Yukino sitting directly opposite him, gazing at him with affection.

His eyes were glazed over.

"She's looking at me." This time, Lu Ye nudged Chen Chen.

Chen Chen shuddered and said seriously, "It has appeared."

"What has appeared?"

"Hidden Mechanism: The Temptation of the Widow."

Chen Chen kept his head down and ate his rice, resolutely refusing to look up.

However, Lu also suspected that Chen Chen had made up the rule himself.

"Don't make eye contact with her; she's looking for her prey tonight."

"I see."

Lu nodded and reached out to move his foot from his leg onto Chen Chen's leg.

"Go and scout ahead first."

Chen Chen froze, his face contorted with grief. "Don't hurt me, bro! I'm afraid of ghosts."
