On the other side.
Chen Shi stretched.
The system's luck effect was potent.
Not only did he survive the death trap.
He also farmed favorability with the nun sister.
He moved his body.
He felt much lighter.
His constitution had clearly strengthened.
"Looks like the effect of Annie's saliva."
Chen Shi stroked his chin.
Making up his mind.
This was definitely a nutritious tonic.
He must find opportunities to extort more from the nun sister.
He looked up at the air in the church.
Several lines of blood-red clear conditions floated there:
[Main Mission (Choose One):]
[1. Survive in the Bloody Manor for 14 days.]
[2. Assist Lady Eight Feet in solving the manor's problems.]
Chen Shi fell into thought.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Country stream discussed heatedly.
[Classic choose-one template again.]
[Either survive or do a hidden mission.]
[Forget the hidden mission.]
[Special requests in past horror games were perverted.]
[No Chosen has ever achieved one.]
[Right, the consensus is to just survive the days.]
[But thirty days... is a bit too long.]
[Previous max was fourteen.]
Just then.
A prompt popped up in Chen Shi's mind:
[Ding! Detected another contractible top-tier female in the manor: Lady Eight Feet.]
Chen Shi was shocked.
Almost sliding off the pew.
Lady Eight Feet?!
That was a giant female ghost over two meters tall!
He was just over 1.8 meters.
Against that size.
Wasn't this a small horse pulling a big cart?
A toothpick stirring a vat?
The system immediately reassured him:
[Host, please rest assured.]
[You have fused the True Dragon's breeding ability.]
[Your ability grows stronger when meeting the strong.]
[Enough to ignore any size difference.]
Chen Shi sighed in relief.
Straightening his back.
True.
Since Ghost Nun Annie was so beautiful.
The legendary Lady Eight Feet couldn't be bad either.
Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation grew in his heart.
However.
As the manor's ultimate Boss.
Lady Eight Feet definitely wouldn't show up this early.
Chen Shi clarified his thoughts.
Survival was the first priority.
Second was farming Annie's affection.
Chen Shi looked back.
The heavy wooden doors creaked open.
The massive manor revealed its true face.
A panoramic map unfolded in everyone's mind.
Marking buildings and self-coordinates.
But not other Chosen.
Chen Shi scanned it.
Startled.
The cafeteria was extremely far from the church.
Almost across half the manor.
If dinner started now, two legs definitely couldn't make it!
He must get closer to the cafeteria immediately.
Annie was gone anyway.
Staying here was meaningless.
Chen Shi walked out the gate alone.
Quickly memorizing the staff portraits on the wall.
Then he left quickly without looking back.
The Chosen left in the church were stunned.
He left alone?
Didn't this guy know to group up?
In horror games, being isolated was a fatal taboo!
In the Dragon Country Command Center.
The Director slapped his forehead in frustration:
"Bad news, Chen Shi is too green!"
The analyst beside him sweated anxiously:
"After a high-danger level, there's a short safety period."
"Dinner definitely won't start now."
"This time is most precious for finding teammates and sharing intel!"
"Survivors are few."
"Without a group looking out for each other, it's hard to move an inch!"
Dragon Country viewers reacted too.
Full of worry.
But with no outside hint permissions yet.
They couldn't send messages.
Only worry.
Everything depended on Chen Shi's luck.
Foreign viewers mocked:
[Hahaha! This Dragon Country man knows nothing, pure rookie!]
[Drew so much aggro just now, and dares to be alone?]
[He's been targeted by several veterans.]
[He won't survive tonight!]
Inside the church.
The atmosphere changed subtly again.
Surviving Chosen rushed toward Elena in the center of the hall.
Like grasping at straws.
Elena stood quietly under the statue.
Her tall, slender figure wrapped in a tight combat suit.
Her eyes cold.
Warning strangers away.
As the only veteran who cleared a game and awakened powers.
She was everyone's free pass.
"Miss Elena, I'm a special forces soldier from the Empire on which the sun never sets, let's team up!"
"Carry me! I have fast reactions!"
Facing the fawning crowd.
Elena didn't even lift her eyelids.
"No."
Clean and crisp.
No explanation.
The chat discussed:
[Too cold. Dismissed everyone with one word.]
[She has superpowers, that's confidence! Why carry burdens?]
[Is she planning to be a lone wolf too?]
[Not wise in a horror game.]
[Not wise for normal people. Is she normal?]
Just then.
The scar-faced man who targeted Chen Shi squeezed out.
Leading a few veterans.
He showed a tough smile:
"Elena, carrying trash is useless."
"But we are ruthless characters who have seen life and death."
"Joining forces maximizes survival chances, what do you say?"
Elena finally looked up.
She scanned the hall.
Looking at these calculating "elites".
Undisguised disappointment in her eyes.
She sighed lightly.
Saying nothing.
She turned and walked straight out the church door.
Ignored publicly.
Scarface's smile froze.
His face turned livid instantly.
"Bitch, acting so high and mighty!"
He stared at her swaying back.
Spitting fiercely.
Cursing through gritted teeth:
"Think you're invincible with some superpowers?"
"When you're alone and tortured by anomalies."
"I'll make you beg for mercy under me!"
Other veterans looked fierce too.
Cursing foully.
Just then.
Sharp-eyed viewers in the Dragon Country stream spotted a blind spot.
[Wait! Look at Elena's route!]
[Holy shit, why is she chasing the direction Chen Shi left?]
[Look at her hurry...]
[Is she chasing Brother Chen to team up?!]
This guess came out.
Foreign viewers felt like they heard a huge joke.
Mocking frantically:
[Are Dragon Country people delusional?]
[Elena is the pride of the Bald Eagle Country!]
[A superpower boss who cleared a game!]
[Ignoring so many elite special forces in the hall.]
[To throw herself at your inexperienced pretty boy?!]
Dragon Country viewers retorted:
[Elites?]
[The elites you mention are the trash who got sprayed with mud and dry heaved just now?]
Foreign viewers were poked in a sore spot.
Furious.
Swearing in the chat:
[What can that kid do besides look good?!]
[I'll put it here!]
[If a boss like Elena really actively seeks Chen Shi to team up.]
[I'll eat shit on livestream! Three big bowls!]
