As long as you have the courage, fierce ghosts go on maternity leave.

Chapter 92: The pay-to-win feature in the instance

Among these ghostly neighbors, Electric Ghost was the most excited.

"’Bro’, I didn’t know you had such a tough childhood! I’m even more surprised at how deeply you feel about me! Don’t worry, from now on, you are my best bro!"

"Congratulations on reaching a favorability score of 100, the special effect of the Social Communication Barrier-Free Charm Syndrome skill is triggered! From now on, you are closer to Daniel than ever! Receive Daniel’s ultimate favorability reward treasure—Tri-color Wreath!"

Seeing Alexander wiping his tears, the somewhat elderly Sister Mary was instantly moved. She gently patted Alexander’s back, saying with full motherly love:

"You poor boy! Rest assured, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell me, I will definitely not let them go!"

At the same time, her favorability reward also appeared:

"Favorability score has reached 60, the special effect of the Social Communication Barrier-Free Charm Syndrome skill is triggered! Receive the reward of Ghost Energy +30, Ghost Coin +300, one string of silver ingots, and Ghost Coin +10."

It really is like picking up money when going out!

Who wouldn’t want more ghost coins! Seeing that many ghosts’ favorability score had already reached a level of thirty to fifty, Alexander was not in a hurry to leave.

He said:"I have guessed why you all came to find me, but I am a little confused. All of you have strong abilities, and your exclusive instances must have a lot of plug-ins. In theory, you should not need my help, right?"

"You don’t know! It’s not easy for us!"

A ghost nearby saw that Alexander didn’t understand and hurriedly explained.

At their level, there are indeed a lot of plug-ins, and the initial fear value is quite high.

But the problem is, the Chosen Ones who can reach this level are also not weak! And those who enter have experienced more than one copy and have become numb.

If you visit a haunted house many times, naturally, you won’t be scared! Even if you use plug-ins to raise the fear to a high level, the amount of ghost coins you can gather is very small unless you kill the Chosen Ones directly in the instance.

The stronger the Chosen One, the more ghost coins they will turn into when they die.

But the problem is, if the death rate in the instance is high, fewer people will be willing to participate.

Moreover, the stronger the ghost host, the more ghost coins they need.

For a ghost host of Mary’s level, even if all the Chosen Ones are scared to death after opening an instance, it would only amount to just over twenty thousand ghost coins.

Moreover, you can’t let all the Chosen Ones die, you have to leave a few survivors to ensure the survival rate of the copy.

Normally, you can only open two instances a month, and the income would be about ten to twenty thousand ghost coins.

Places like Edward’s restaurant or Annie’s clinic are open instances, they don’t have to focus all their energy on the Chosen Ones, so naturally, they don’t need to worry about these details."

But for these neighbors in the Ghost Apartment, their strength is neither high nor low, and it would be difficult to develop without opening copies.

This has led to the situation where, although these neighbors are not weak, their wealth in the horror world is not much.

If they were truly wealthy ghosts, they would not lower their status to beg Alexander.

"Alexander, do you have a solution? If you can solve our problems, we will all be grateful to you!"

"Yeah, Alexander, we all know you’re capable, help us!"

"Say something! As long as our problems are solved, all the inhabitants below the 13th floor of the Ghost Apartment will be willing to do anything for you!"

...

Numerous ghosts in the crowd begged one after another. Alexander hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to use the ultimate move he had planned to use himself, to brush up on some favorability.

Once this move comes out, the style of the horror world will completely change.

The evil Pandora’s box is slowly opening.

An incredibly terrifying monster will be released by Alexander himself, his name is—pay-to-win!

That’s right! It’s pay-to-win, also known as topping up!

Chosen Ones who have been through many instances are basically numb to fear.

But what about pay-to-win? Who can resist the joy of a paying player?

"In fact, the solution is simple, you just need to..."

"Oh my god! Can what you said work?"

After hearing Alexander’s idea, the older Mary couldn’t quite believe it.

"Yes! It will definitely work!" Alexander assured: "Sister Mary, don’t worry! As long as you do as I say, there will be no problem!"

"Then I’ll give it a try?" Mary hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and directly opened a copy:

Mary’s exclusive instance is an abandoned small mountain village, inside which are more than a dozen powerful ghost servants.

The content of the copy is also simple, it’s a game of hide and seek.

However, there are limits to the instances, not to say that powerful ghosts can kill without any concerns.

This instance will continuously add plug-ins and ghost servants over time, increasing the fear value of the Chosen Ones.

Each Chosen One can see a red progress bar, once the progress bar is full, it means the requirement has been met and they will be killed by the found ghost servant.

If the progress bar is not full, after being found you can exchange an organ on your body for your life, and then have one minute to continue hiding.

...

"Listen to me, everyone! My name is Cain, a senior member of the Evil Spirits level! I’ve been through Blood Moon High School, the Cylinder Building, and many other instances. Listen to me, you can’t go wrong!"

Just as the Chosen Ones appeared in the copy, one of them stepped out and spoke loudly.

"Overconfident!" One person on the side disdainfully gave him a glance and turned away.

The others also shook their heads in disdain and went to find hiding spots.

Pretending to be an experienced player in the beginner instances, using a few newcomers as cannon fodder is basic operation.

But this is an instance for experienced players, there are hardly any new players, to show off here is a bit pointless.

...

As the time passed, the Chosen Ones were found one by one, and had to give up their organs to save their lives.

Cain was the most unlucky one. By the time the fourth rest period came, his two arms and nose were all gone. The progress bar on top of his head was almost full, he was almost certain to die.

"He calls himself an experienced player, but this is his level?"

"This guy is done, my progress bar is less than half, his is almost full, he’s definitely the next one to die!"

"Probably another unlucky soul who’s mixed up in too many beginner instances, never experienced high difficulty instances, no need to care about his life and death!"

...

Cain was filled with fear, almost breaking down inside. The rest period was about to end, but he couldn’t find a good hiding place.

Suddenly, Cain’s eyes lit up, seeing a two-story building in the distance, the highest in the whole village, a rundown wooden ladder leading directly to the roof.

With time running out, he ran over in a panic and climbed up the ladder.

However, when a person is unlucky, nothing goes well.

Soon, Cain felt a void under his feet, the ladder had actually broken, and he fell down.

"Gaga... my little darling! I’m coming for you..."

Not far away, a ghoul covered in black fur, holding a huge axe, found Cain and pounced on him with a grim smile, the progress bar on top of his head filled up at this moment.

Just as Cain thought he was certain to die, a prompt suddenly rang in his ear:

"Chosen One Cain’s fear has reached the critical point, activating the purchase permission for props, the recharge channel has been opened, do you want to buy Ghost Coin props?"

Ghost Coin props? What’s that?

Cain was stunned, but now was not the time to hesitate, he immediately shouted:

"Buy! Buy!"

A screen similar to the attribute interface immediately appeared in front of him.

There were only three things on it.

Organ Repurchase, price: 100 per item

Anti-fear Sunglasses, price: 1000 per item

Anti-fear Headphones, price: 2000 per item

You can repurchase organs? And what are these anti-fear sunglasses and headphones?

Can you stop being scared by wearing sunglasses and headphones?

Cain had a lot of Ghost Coins, the scores of the two instances he had recently experienced were not low, especially the Ghost Fruits he got, he didn’t use them himself, but dedicated them to his boss, directly receiving a reward of two thousand Ghost Coins.

He had a total of 4000 Ghost Coins in his hand.
