A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?

Chapter 5: Numerous Problems

Game, system, ghost, Wen Ning.

These are some of the most perplexing questions for Lin Yue right now.

Having survived the ordeal, my mind was in a complete fog, and I was unable to think clearly at all.

Now that he had written it down quietly, his mind became much clearer.

First, the game.

Lin Yue turned on her computer, her eyes serious.

The game "Goddess Romance Guide" was a niche beta game that he downloaded randomly from the internet, but after completing it perfectly, it turned into a system.

Clearly, the root of the problem likely lies with the game's development team.

If we could find the people who made the game, perhaps most of our current problems and crises could be solved immediately.

But he spent a long time typing on the keyboard and mouse.

The webpage only showed some strange, low-quality, borderline games; there was no trace of the original version, the one I had downloaded, "Goddess Romance Guide."

Even searching the history yielded no trace of it.

A game with a finished product and traces of its existence seems to have vanished from the internet.

This strange sign made Lin Yue frown, feeling as if she had encountered some kind of supernatural event. No, she had indeed encountered a supernatural event.

I searched for about ten more minutes.

After still not reaping any rewards.

He had no choice but to give up for the time being and move on to the next problem.

Then there's the system.

With a thought, Lin Yue summoned the transparent light screen back to her eyes.

As expected, the panel above underwent many changes after the beginner's tasks were completed.

"Host: Lin Yue"

Gender: Male.

Occupation: Third-year student at Seongnam University.

Strength: 0.9.

Agility: 1.1.

"Spirit: 1.2".

"Constitution: 1."

Willpower: 1.5

"Wealth: 6200 RMB"

Skills: None.

Special Equipment: 0

"Assignable attribute points: 0.1".

This is the personal attributes panel.

Compared to before, in addition to the original 3700 RMB of private savings, there is an additional 2500 RMB of wealth, and one more unallocated free attribute point.

This should be the reward I received for completing the task.

And below the personal panel.

A new favorability progress bar has also been added for Wen Ning's profile picture.

Wen Ning: 5% (I'm paying attention to you).

Seeing this, Lin Yue felt like she was dying and slapped her face hard.

Damn it, I've been single for 20 years, and the first time I've ever been liked by someone of the opposite sex is because a female ghost has her eye on me. Destroy this world!

Then, below the personal attributes are the newly refreshed tasks.

"Mission: A Heart-Pounding First Date"

"After the initial phone call, you and Wen Ning have made a good start. You remember how cute that girl was back then, and Wen Ning's love for you has been rekindled. You keenly sense this, so you decide to press your advantage and send her another date request, enjoying your first nervous and shy romantic date."

"Requirement: Meet Wen Ning for at least ten minutes at the Fulimen Shopping Mall in this city around midnight."

"Reward: RMB 4000, 0.2 free attribute points, Wen Ning's favorability +10%."

After reading it, Lin Yue could only think, "Who's trying to press their advantage?"

This system is clearly the one with the biggest problems, but it's also the most perplexing.

Take a deep breath and put the system aside.

Lin Yue circled the third word.

"ghost."

After what just happened, he finally understood that ghosts really do exist in this world.

Moreover, a ghost like Wen Ning is not the kind of seductive fox spirit ghost from traditional folk tales who would seduce a down-on-his-luck scholar and have a one-night stand with him.

That terrifying aura that could shatter all human will and soul.

Even though almost an hour has passed, Lin Yue still feels lingering fear when she thinks about it.

In other words, the script he received was definitely not something like "A Chinese Ghost Story," but more like "The Ring"...

Furthermore, ordinary people cannot see this ghost.

For example, Grandpa Wang had no reaction to the pale, ghostly hand reaching down from the ceiling.

He, the one chosen by the system, was able to see it.

As for whether there are special talents in the world like "yin-yang eyes" that allow one to see ghosts, that remains unknown.

Whether electronic devices can see ghosts is still a mystery, given that the surveillance system malfunctioned due to supernatural forces. Further investigation is needed to find out.

Finally, and most importantly.

Wen Ning.

When Lin Yue circled this spot, he used so much force that he almost bent the pen tip out of shape.

Wen Ning is a ghost.

This is most likely the biggest crisis right now.

According to the system, Wen Ning seems to still be "paying attention" to her. Lin Yue doesn't know what she might do with this level of favorability. If it triggers another attack, Lin Yue really doesn't know what to do.

Staying in the dormitory all the time is not a long-term solution.

I'll be alone at some point in my life, won't I? Going to the bathroom? Going to take a shower?

Ironically, these very places are depicted as hotspots for paranormal events in the movie, meaning they're the easiest places for people to die...

Moreover, having more people doesn't necessarily guarantee safety.

What should I do if Wen Ning launches a direct attack on multiple people?

Lin Yue had a terrible headache.

What troubled him even more was that there might be several more people like Wen Ning to pursue in the future…

Games are harmful.

While constantly thinking about ways to break the deadlock, Lin Yue drew countless dark circles around the name "Wen Ning" before a sudden inspiration struck him.

By the way, Wen Ning in the game is my childhood sweetheart from next door.

Now she's in reality.

Will this background be carried into reality as well?

Lin Yue felt that this might be a good breakthrough.

Keep this firmly in mind.

A long time has passed by now.

The other roommates had long since lost the energy to stay up all night and chose to go to bed.

After the terrifying ghost incident, Lin Yue was exhausted, but she had no desire to close her eyes. She simply turned on the desk lamp and planned to spend the night in her chair.

If that ghostly hand reaches out from the darkness again.

That allows him to react quickly.

However, before that, he reopened the system, thought for a long time, and finally added the extra 0.1 free attribute point to Agility.

With a flash of golden light.

His agility attribute immediately changed from 1.1 to 1.2.

This action has just been completed.

He immediately noticed a surge of heat emanating from his body, slowly coursing through his muscles, making his calves, thighs, core, and upper limbs firmer and more elastic.

That feeling was incredibly comfortable.

It's like having a seasoned master give you a full-body massage.

Finally, the mental and physical exhaustion, beyond anyone's control, caused Lin Yue's head to droop, and she didn't even know when she had dozed off.

······

Downstairs in the dormitory building.

A broken cell phone, snapped in two and with its battery exposed, suddenly lit up in the trash can.

In the very center of the screen, a malevolent, scarlet eye swept around.

It looked like they were looking for something.

But those eyes trembled wildly, searching for a long time, yet they still couldn't find what they needed.

So he could only reluctantly give up and close those terrifying eyes.

At that moment, the broken phone emitted a thin current and a few wisps of smoke.

"Sizzle—"

Then there was no more sound.
