[How many times do I have to say these two words—so jealous!]
[Red Moon Restaurant Manager status?! Lin Yu's luck is way too insane! Damn it!]
[Is Lin Yu some kind of chosen one? Otherwise I really can't explain this kind of luck!]
[Holy crap—other people fight tooth and nail and still might not get a single identity in a horror game, yet Lin Yu just casually gets one?! This is so unfair!]
[Facts have proven that finding a good girlfriend is REALLY important. I'm learning from Lin Yu from now on!]
[Is there a chance Lin Yu isn't just smooth-talking, but also handsome and an excellent cook?!]
...
Although Lin Yu himself had no clear understanding of what the title "Red Moon Restaurant Manager" truly meant—
At this very moment,
his livestream was in complete shock.
One had to know that in horror games, when players ran dungeons, there was a small chance they could obtain an identity belonging to the horror world.
And once a player obtained such an identity, it was equivalent to gaining a protective umbrella.
There had once been a player who, thanks to acquiring a staff identity in a certain dungeon, survived an entirely different dungeon alone—purely because of that identity.
In life-and-death situations, even a small increase in survival probability was enough to drive players insane with envy.
But horror-world identities were notoriously difficult to obtain.
Out of ten thousand players, there might not be even one who succeeded.
That alone showed just how rare such identities were.
And Lin Yu didn't just obtain any identity—
He obtained the manager identity of a Red-Clothed-level restaurant.
No wonder countless players and viewers were screaming with jealousy.
...
"Wasn't my opinion supposed to matter at all?"
Seeing that the Ribboned Female Ghost had directly agreed to the cheongsam-clad female ghost's condition, Lin Yu couldn't help but complain silently.
However, considering that the Ribboned Female Ghost had just taken the initiative to shoulder the responsibility for killing the long-tongued male ghost—
Since she didn't object, Lin Yu figured there shouldn't be any danger for him.
Thinking this through, he finally relaxed a little.
"Oh right, can I ask something?"
At that moment, the cheongsam-clad female ghost suddenly spoke.
"Miss Su, and Mr. Lin Yu—how far exactly have you two progressed?"
As she spoke, she seemed to recall something amusing. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"That has nothing to do with you."
Faced with her curiosity, a trace of embarrassment flashed through the Ribboned Female Ghost's eyes. She immediately replied coldly.
"Heh…"
Seeing this reaction, the cheongsam-clad female ghost chuckled softly. She raised her fan to cover her mouth and laughed lightly.
"Speaking of which, I happen to be hungry as well. Miss Su, do you mind if I eat with you?"
Before the Ribboned Female Ghost could respond, the cheongsam-clad female ghost had already picked up a pair of chopsticks, grabbed a piece of food, and put it into her mouth.
The next moment—
Shock appeared on her face.
After swallowing the food, she spoke with a puzzled expression.
"This dish… wasn't made by my younger brother. His cooking was never this good."
"???"
"Huh?! She's the older sister of the Fierce Ghost Chef?!"
Hearing her words, surprise flashed across Lin Yu's eyes.
No matter how he thought about it, he never imagined that the Fierce Ghost Chef had such a relationship with this cheongsam-clad female ghost.
More importantly—
No matter how hard he tried, Lin Yu simply couldn't connect the chef's withered, sinister face with the enchanting woman before him.
The gap was far too big.
"Are these two really blood-related siblings?"
Lin Yu couldn't help muttering internally.
Meanwhile, after tasting several more dishes, the shock in the cheongsam-clad female ghost's eyes only deepened.
At this moment, she did something completely incompatible with her elegant image.
Like a greedy child, she began stuffing food into her mouth, devouring the dishes on the table.
"Mmm…"
Only after she seemed satisfied did she finally put down her chopsticks.
She turned to look at the Ribboned Female Ghost, curiosity in her eyes.
"Miss Su, who made today's food?"
"And can you stop talking to me in that 'big sister' tone?"
Only then did the Ribboned Female Ghost speak helplessly.
"Miss Su, I don't understand what you mean…"
The cheongsam-clad female ghost's eyes flickered with confusion for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
She spoke calmly, as if she truly didn't understand.
"Your sister isn't some gluttonous ghost, you know."
Seeing her still pretending, the Ribboned Female Ghost reminded her flatly.
"Ah?!"
"Oh no! The food was too good—I forgot…"
The cheongsam-clad female ghost suddenly realized something.
She reached up and smacked her own head, then raised the fan in her hand and waved it toward herself.
The next moment—
Something unbelievable happened.
Pink mist surged out around her body, completely enveloping her.
A few seconds later, the mist dissipated.
The enchanting cheongsam-clad woman had vanished.
In her place stood—
A petite girl wearing a small red cheongsam, her hair styled into two bun-like pigtails.
She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, cute and innocent.
A loli version of the cheongsam-clad female ghost now stood before Lin Yu.
At the same time, Lin Yu's livestream exploded.
[What the hell is this?! Onee-san turned into a loli?!]
[Did that massive onee-san just shrink into a pocket-sized loli?!]
[I don't know why, but after seeing her turn into a loli, I feel even more excited…]
[Heh, you people are bold. Unlike you, I like both.]
[Upstairs, are you not awake yet? Want me to knock some sense into you?]
...
"Hehe… Miss Su…"
"I was pretending to be my sister. You won't tell her, right?"
The cheongsam-loli skipped over to the Ribboned Female Ghost, hugging her arm with a pleading expression.
"Onee-san turning into a loli… this is actually allowed?"
Watching the dramatic change, Lin Yu couldn't help but mutter in disbelief.
"Don't worry… I won't tell your sister…"
The Ribboned Female Ghost replied calmly.
"Really?!"
The loli's eyes lit up instantly, her face filled with joy.
"Fake."
At that moment, the Ribboned Female Ghost shook her head slightly, smiling faintly.
"Huh?!"
"Miss Su, can you not be so cruel to Momo?"
The cheongsam-loli's smile vanished immediately, replaced by a pitiful, wronged expression—clearly terrified of her sister.
Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile as well.
He honestly hadn't expected this cheongsam-loli to be so entertaining.
"What are you staring at?!"
Sensing Lin Yu's gaze, the cheongsam-loli turned her head and glared fiercely at him—
Though with her cute face, the glare was anything but threatening.
She didn't look fierce at all.
If anything, she looked… kind of adorable.
"I suggest you show him a bit more respect,"
the Ribboned Female Ghost said calmly at that moment,
"Everything you just ate was made by him."
"Huh?!"
"Everything Momo just ate… was made by you?"
The cheongsam loli froze, staring straight at Lin Yu.
Shock filled her face, as if she couldn't quite believe what she had just heard.
"What?"
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and asked back.
And at the same time—
Ever since the cheongsam-clad female ghost had transformed from a mature onee-san into a loli, Lin Yu had noticed something.
The cheongsam loli standing before him now
was actually weaker than the Fierce Ghost Chef.
She wasn't even at his level.
She was only a Grudge-level existence.
"Hehe… it's nothing, really…"
"Brother Lin Yu, can you… not stay mad at Momo?"
"Can you keep making delicious food for Momo from now on?"
After the Ribboned Female Ghost's reminder,
a watery smile appeared on the cheongsam loli's face.
Then—
She released the Ribboned Female Ghost's arm and suddenly hugged Lin Yu's arm instead, clinging tightly.
She looked extremely familiar with him, as if they were already very close.
"No."
Faced with her cute little face and the pleading look on it,
Lin Yu shook his head decisively.
"Waaah…"
"Then… then how about this!"
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something,
the cheongsam loli picked up the fan she had placed on the table earlier
and forcefully stuffed it into Lin Yu's hand.
[Item: Fan of Transformation]
[Quality: Purple]
[Effect: Allows the user to transform into any target they have seen. Temporarily gains the target's aura. Duration: 10 minutes. Cooldown: 1 hour]
[Note: You're not thinking of turning into the opposite sex… are you?]
...
"No wonder…"
Looking at the fan in his hand, Lin Yu finally understood
why the Detection Bracelet had failed earlier.
The effect of this Fan of Transformation
was practically cheating.
If the Ribboned Female Ghost hadn't been present,
Lin Yu would have already tried it out—
Turning into her, just to see what it would look like.
Seeing that Lin Yu still hadn't spoken,
the cheongsam loli seemed to think her "payment" wasn't enough.
So she rummaged through her pocket again,
pulled out another identical-looking item,
and looked up at Lin Yu expectantly,
eyes wide and hopeful.
