[Are you sure you want to participate in the Ghastly Game?]
On the phone, the excessively red words against the black background looked like the color of fresh blood, sticky and disgusting, making one's heart turn cold.
The owner holding the phone was a young girl with a clean and beautiful face. Her lips were pale, and the corners of her eyes were red; she had likely just cried, looking somewhat pitiful.
At this moment, her eyes were staring unblinkingly at the red words on the phone screen.
In the year 2034, supernatural descent occurred on Blue Star. Human-inhabited areas were gradually contaminated, and living space shrank repeatedly. Many people were forced to enter the Ghastly Game to survive.
The Game Contexts of the Ghastly Game were terrifying and horrific; once players entered, they basically had a one-in-ten chance of survival.
But the game was not without benefits. By completing the game, one could obtain what they desired.
Many people entered the Ghastly Game voluntarily, some for their family, some for health, some for fame... Jiang Liyue's reason for choosing to enter the game was simple: she was truly too hungry right now!
Or rather, the original owner of this body was truly too hungry!
That's right, Jiang Liyue was not the original owner. Just moments ago, she had transmigrated into a book.
In her past life, Jiang Liyue was an orphan who stepped into the entertainment industry by chance during university.
Jiang Liyue was a natural at acting. Her experience growing up in an orphanage had taught her how to speak differently to different people, and she was even more like a fish in water after entering the entertainment industry.
In just two years, she won the Best Actress award for her beauty and acting skills, successfully achieving financial freedom.
With money, looks, and many fans praising her every day, Jiang Liyue really didn't know what her life was missing.
Now she knew; she might be missing some virtue.
If it weren't for a lack of virtue, how could she have inexplicably transmigrated into a novel titled "supernatural descent" and become the cannon fodder female supporting character of the same name?
The supporting character Jiang Liyue was a foil to the female lead. The female lead was the true daughter of the Jiang Family who had been lost; she was strong, brave, and kind, becoming a big shot in the Ghastly Game on her own.
The supporting character was the spoiled fake daughter, timid and cowardly, never daring to enter the Ghastly Game from beginning to end.
After being kicked out of the house by the Jiang Family, who had found their biological daughter, she was so destitute that she would rather starve to death than enter the Ghastly Game.
"Wuwuwu, but I'm really scared of ghosts..."
Jiang Liyue still remembered that a few minutes ago, when she transmigrated into this body, she vaguely heard the original owner's soul crying before it left.
The original owner was too hungry, crying while starving, and then simply cried herself to death, allowing Jiang Liyue to transmigrate in.
Jiang Liyue:...Can a cannon fodder female supporting character really die so haphazardly?
Jiang Liyue herself wasn't afraid of ghosts. Back when she first entered the industry and had no resources, only an obscure minor director invited her to star in a horror film.
To study the atmosphere of horror, Jiang Liyue locked herself in a room for half a month and watched hundreds of ghost movies.
Later, she successfully rose to fame with that role in the horror film.
Compared to being afraid of ghosts, Jiang Liyue was more afraid of hunger. She was an orphan and had been abandoned on the street as a child, starving for a long time before being sent to the Welfare Home.
Since then, Jiang Liyue had been very afraid of going hungry; even after entering the entertainment industry, she never fasted for weight loss.
She loathed hunger; that burning sensation in the stomach was fresh in her memory.
But now the original owner had been kicked out of the Jiang Family and lived in a tiny, dilapidated rental room. The balance on her phone was only 2.5, she hadn't eaten for two days, and she wasn't far from starving to death.
The sensation of her stomach cramping and burning from hunger stimulated Jiang Liyue's nerves. Without hesitation, she took out her phone and chose to sign up for the Ghastly Game.
Her stomach rumbled again. Looking at the blood-red words on the screen, Jiang Liyue didn't find them terrifying; she only thought of ketchup and strawberry jam.
The original owner really could endure; she'd rather starve to death out of fear of ghosts than enter the game.
Jiang Liyue feared she would starve to death like the original owner if she hesitated any longer, so she quickly selected [Yes] on the screen.
The blood-red words on the screen changed.
[Congratulations to the new player Jiang Liyue for joining the Ghastly Game]
[You cannot refuse the game, you cannot exit the game. Death in the game means death in reality]
[Drawing your initial item, please wait...]
[Initial item drawn successfully: Golden Hidden Item "Weird Sight Weird Love Halo". Initial items are non-transferable and non-cancelable]
Before Jiang Liyue could figure out what the so-called Weird Sight Weird Love Halo actually did, the words on the screen changed again.
[Player Jiang Liyue is about to enter the game. Game Context loading...]
***
[Game Context Name: Happiness No. 1 High School
Game Context Difficulty: A
Task: Survive in the Game Context for 7 days / Find Ren Yuanxing]
[Welcome to Happiness No. 1 High School. As a student of Xingfu High School, please abide by the school rules, respect teachers, and be friendly to classmates.
Please remember, you are only a student!]
As soon as she opened her eyes, Jiang Liyue found herself in a pitch-black classroom with six rows and six columns, a total of thirty-six people.
Jiang Liyue sat in the last row. This position allowed her to see most of the situation in the classroom without needing to make large movements.
It should be nighttime now; the lights in the classroom were not on. The light source was the candles present on every desk.
Under the dim yellow candlelight, everyone's face in the classroom looked somewhat distorted.
Jiang Liyue noticed that most people were looking around, some curious, some terrified, and some whispering to each other. She guessed that everyone in the classroom should be a player like her.
Especially the boy sitting in front of her, who was looking around suspiciously, looking very shifty.
Jiang Liyue discreetly withdrew her gaze and did not rashly speak up.
At the same time, in an unknown space, a live stream quietly began.
[It's here, it's here! My favorite Happiness No. 1 High School Game Context has started]
[Wow wow wow, a room full of humans right at the start, this is too fragrant! When will I be able to apply for the qualification to work in a Game Context?]
[I don't want to go. If I run into a powerful human player, I'll lose my life]
[Lose my life then. I don't want to eat this tasteless ghost fast food anymore. Let me have a taste of a human, it'll be worth losing my life]
[Move the camera to the back row quickly. I found a very cute little human, looks fragrant, I really want to taste her]
[Really, such a beautiful little human, just looks a bit fragile. She won't be eaten right at the start, will she? That would be a bargain for the trash in this Game Context]
[Ahhh, if I had known, I would have gone to work this time. I just ate my fill in a Game Context two days ago and applied for two days of rest TAT]
Jiang Liyue didn't know yet that she had already been targeted by the weirds in the live stream just as the Game Context began. She just sat in the back row, quietly observing everyone.
This was her habit as an actress; when she wasn't acting, she also liked to sit in a car and guess the professions and personalities of passersby based on their expressions and clothing.
Suddenly, a stern voice rang out from the front of the classroom, "The entrance exam is about to begin. Students, stop looking around."
Jiang Liyue looked over and found that at some point, a middle-aged woman with a pale face, holding a white candle, had appeared on the podium. The candlelight flickered slightly, making her face look somewhat distorted and eerie.
Her greedy gaze swept across the whole class, and finally, she grinned with satisfaction. Jiang Liyue sensed the malice in that smile.
The woman tapped the podium: "Exam time is thirty minutes. Keep quiet during the exam, no cheating, no leaving your seat, no disturbing the exam. Watch your candles. Alright, pass the exam papers to the back."
Jiang Liyue saw that they really started passing the papers from the first row, thinking that this exam was being conducted quite realistically.
[Brothers, this teacher is too real. Thinking of my former homeroom teacher, I feel a bit uncomfortable, I'm going to log out first]
[No, for the beautiful little human, I can hold on a bit longer]
Because she was in the last row, Jiang Liyue had to wait for the papers to be passed down slowly, so she simply checked her desktop first.
Probably for the exam, her desktop was clean, with only a white candle burning on the top right edge, its flame flickering slightly.
The teacher just said to watch the candle. She didn't know what counted as watching it well, but the white candle sounded like an important item.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Liyue simply moved the candle to the center of the desk, closest to herself.
Although having the flame near her chin was a bit inconvenient, she could immediately protect the candle if there was an emergency.
At this time, the exam paper from the front was also passed down. The shifty front-seater, probably to scout the situation, turned his head while passing the paper.
Then he saw a scene that dealt a critical blow to his spirit—
The dim yellow candlelight from below hit Jiang Liyue's face, making her originally beautiful face look distorted and strange. Her dark eye sockets were particularly obvious, looking exceptionally horrific in the pitch-black classroom.
Holy crap, there's a ghost behind him!
If he hadn't remembered he was still in the game, he would have let out a scream by now.
And Jiang Liyue didn't know why her front-seater had a look of terror on his face, as if he had seen something terrifying.
She tried to take the exam paper from his hand, gave it a tug, but it didn't move.
Since they were both players, Jiang Liyue didn't get angry, but instead gave him a friendly smile.
From the front-seater's perspective, the female ghost's pitch-black eyes stared straight at him as she split her mouth into a malicious smile.
Front-seater: Help!!
Oh my god, he couldn't have been targeted by a female ghost right after entering the game, could he? Was he going to die... Then Jiang Liyue saw her front-seater let go, turn his head back in despair, and she could even vaguely see the hopelessness in his eyes.
What happened?
Jiang Liyue blinked her eyes innocently, not understanding.
Meanwhile, the live stream was already laughing like crazy.
[Hahahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, this beautiful little human actually has a talent for scaring people]
[I like her so much, she looks so cute like this! I hope the friends in this Game Context don't eat her. How great would it be to turn her into a weird? I want to marry her]
[Get out of here, you lot, stop dreaming. This human is already my wife]
[I've learned this expression. Next time I participate in a Game Context exam, I'll scare people like this, I'll definitely pass]
