Chapter 973 513: Ghosts' Mental Fortitude Enhancement Process

"Damn it, how should human food be made."

Yin Fenggui's fear grew stronger in his heart. He hadn't expected to be assigned to the "loving family" instance, the most difficult one at his stage.

The main allure is its unpredictability, unlike other instances where changes are small and fixed.

Unexpectedly, when it was his turn, the family that adopted him was terrifying.

Fortunately, the ghosts in the live-stream were guiding him. Although they hadn't entered the human world, they knew quite a bit through the broadcast.

Therefore, with the guidance of the ghostly companions, as long as he operated correctly, there wouldn't be too many problems.

"What, these three humans are the ones who left the Garden Apartments!" Yin Fenggui suddenly saw these words in the comments.

This sent a chill straight through his heart.

As a survivor, he couldn't watch the broadcast, and most of his live-stream mainly featured him and other survivors participating in survival, rarely accessing other information.

However, he still knew about the infamous Garden Apartments, which, along with the "loving family" instance, was known as one of the most difficult stage instances.

Soon after, the ghosts explained the cause and effect in the comments.

"I'm doomed, such ruthless humans, what should I do." Yin Fenggui was almost in tears. Although he lacked the relevant abilities, he still felt the life-or-death urge.

"How's the meal coming along?" A voice came over.

The speaker was Da Tianwei; he had come to nitpick.

"Al-Almost done!" Yin Fenggui responded quickly, his body trembling.

He knew that survival in the "loving family" instance hinged on abiding by the rules.

Besides the three red-marked ones, there were dozens of other rules, big and small. Failing to adhere to the red-marked ones meant death, while neglecting the dozens of others depended on luck; good luck meant losing a limb, bad luck meant death.

"Hurry up with your work, pay attention to the details."

"If you mess up, watch out, I'll skin you alive." Da Tianwei wasn't joking, if one made a mistake, he would strike fatally.

Under Da Tianwei's gaze, cold sweat dripped down Yin Fenggui's back.

Normally, Yin Fenggui didn't have sweat glands, but now he wore a layer of human skin, possessing human capabilities, which naturally made him sweat from nervousness.

"First, let's cook rice, I need to..." Following the instructions in the comments, Yin Fenggui started making the meal.

The efficiency was nothing to brag about; it was excruciatingly slow since it was his first time.

As a ghost, they don't eat food.

"Hurry up, dinner is at nine, and it's already eight now. If you can't have the food on the table by nine, you'll have to be the one on the table instead." Da Tianwei spoke quietly.

But to Yin Fenggui's ears, it was like a clap of thunder.

"It will definitely be on time." Yin Fenggui understood, humans didn't break rules; if he was unable to complete it on time, he would face this human's ghost-killing rules.

'I'll die... truly die...' Fear spread wildly in Yin Fenggui's heart.

Even his movements began to shake.

"Can't you manage? It's alright not to do it, kids can be forgiven for many things." Da Tianwei's seductive voice came once more.

But Yin Fenggui didn't respond, focusing on rinsing the rice, knowing it was a lie; if he believed it, he'd err.

'Calm down, stay calm.'

The rice-cooking process went smoothly; after all, it was the modern world. Rinsing the rice, adding water, and using a rice cooker suffices—cooking dishes is the real challenge.

Opening the fridge, it held an array of ingredients.

Yet, he felt no joy.

His task was to survive ten days in the adopted family, and if he couldn't strategically plan the amount of vegetables and meats, running out prematurely meant no ingredients for cooking, a dire situation.

If he used too little and couldn't complete effectively, though not fatal, the missing part would need compensating with a part of himself.

Thus, managing the quantities was crucial.

"Take more, if we aren't full we'll crave snacks." Da Tianwei's voice sinisterly echoed around Yin Fenggui's ears.

Fortunately, the ghosts soon offered advice in the comments, allowing him to choose some food efficiently.

'For breakfast, it should suffice; if not, then it would have to...' Yin Fenggui mulled over the thought in his mind.

The amount of food wasn't certain, relying entirely on ghostly companions' analysis.

Next up was cooking; to avoid criticism, it must be passable, not uneatable.

Seeing Yin Fenggui ignoring him, Da Tianwei gradually lost interest, eventually wandering back to the living room.

Yin Fenggui breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew this human would linger nearby, always searching for any mistake.

There was another human; only when he wasn't sleeping in his room at night would the ghost-killing rule apply, the other was easier to deal with—if he didn't stay alone in the living room with them, there was no danger.
