I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

After the bus disappeared at the end of the road, Qin Nuo finally saw who the shadow was.

It was the customer from the second day at the restaurant, the Burning Ghost who regained his memory because of the Tequila Qin Nuo gave him!

"You've got guts," the Burning Ghost said coldly, shedding his terrifying Ghost Aura.

Qin Nuo knew exactly what he meant and replied with a bitter smile, "When you're under someone else's roof, you have to follow their rules. I made a mistake and was punished by the restaurant to go out and buy ingredients."

"If you don't complete the task, you'll die just the same."

Despite his words, Qin Nuo was still shocked inside.

During the conflict on the bus, the Burning Ghost had crushed the Water Ghost with one hand, silencing all the ghosts on the bus.

The Water Ghost could see through Qin Nuo's disguise, indicating its strength wasn't low, yet it was wiped out without any resistance in front of the Burning Ghost!

Qin Nuo couldn't even begin to imagine the Burning Ghost's power.

The Burning Ghost didn't say much and asked, "What do you need to buy?"

Qin Nuo handed the note directly to the Burning Ghost.

After reading it, the Burning Ghost's eyes narrowed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Qin Nuo asked.

"Ingredient number 8 is only available at the Specter Supermarket."

"That's where I'm headed."

"The owner there is difficult to deal with, and ingredient number 8 isn't an ordinary ingredient. If you only use Ghost Currency, you probably won't be able to buy it from him," the Burning Ghost said.

"If Ghost Currency won't work, then what should I use?" Qin Nuo was taken aback.

The Burning Ghost shook his head slightly, "That's something you'll have to figure out yourself."

He stepped aside and pointed to a street behind him, "Walk 100 meters down this street, and at the corner, you'll find the Specter Supermarket."

Qin Nuo knew that the Burning Ghost couldn't help much with buying the ingredients. Regardless, the fact that he helped Qin Nuo out of a tight spot was already quite rare for a ghost.

So, Qin Nuo thanked him once more.

"That Tequila you gave me was very important. Also, I don't like owing favors, especially to humans," the Burning Ghost said lightly.

Qin Nuo smiled slightly, "Understood."

"Angel's Kiss: You've gained +10 Favorability from the Burning Ghost and obtained Ghost Creature—Meat of Taisui ×2!"

"Meat of Taisui: A food that ghosts cannot resist, often fought over to the point of bloodshed for just a small piece."

Qin Nuo remembered seeing this item before, also known as Meat Lingzhi, a precious and expensive polymer that humans typically collect as antiques rather than consume.

In reality, the Meat of Taisui seen on the market is fake, as the existence of wild pure Taisui has never been proven in the biological world.

Legend has it that the elixir of immortality sought by Qin Shi Huang was the so-called wild Meat of Taisui, its mythical nature making it elusive and uncertain.

"I wonder if the piece I have is real or fake?" Qin Nuo thought to himself.

After the Burning Ghost left, Qin Nuo didn't dwell on the Meat of Taisui. He organized his thoughts and headed down the street.

About five minutes later, after turning the corner, he indeed saw a large supermarket.

On the deserted street, newspapers flew everywhere.

All the shops were closed, except for this supermarket.

Inside, it seemed quite deserted, the dim atmosphere making one's skin crawl, deterring entry.

Qin Nuo, however, remained composed and stepped forward.

As he stepped into the supermarket, a system voice echoed in his mind.

"Ding, passive mission triggered!"

"Detected that the host is in an area with hidden mergeable ghost creatures. The host must merge the ghost creatures within 24 hours."

"The host has automatically acquired the merging ghost physique—Yin-Yang Phantom Body!" (Can merge up to 3 A+ level or lower ghost creatures!)

"Upon completion, a level box will be randomly awarded!" (Classified as Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Obsidian)

"Mission failure penalty: Confiscation of all ghost creatures!"

"It can trigger passive missions too?" Qin Nuo was stunned.

Before even officially entering the supermarket, he already had two mandatory tasks!

The penalty was the confiscation of all ghost creatures.

For Qin Nuo, who had lost the restaurant's protection, it was akin to losing all life-saving measures.

"The arrow is already on the string, no turning back now."

With that thought, Qin Nuo walked into the supermarket.

The supermarket's business seemed not too good, much worse than the Nether Springs Restaurant, with a large amount of goods piled on the shelves and flies buzzing everywhere.

At the counter, a middle-aged man lay on a rattan chair, holding a bottle of alcohol, drunk.

"Human or ghost?" Qin Nuo couldn't discern the middle-aged man's identity.

"Boss, I'd like to buy an ingredient."

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, glanced at Qin Nuo, and suddenly shouted, "Filthy rat, shed your ugly disguise and get out of my shop!"

Qin Nuo smiled bitterly, suddenly feeling that the killer's raincoat was quite shoddy.

But having come this far, how could he leave so easily?

Removing the killer's raincoat, he continued, "Boss, I'm just here to buy something and then I'll leave."

"See that empty spot on the shelf? If you say one more word, your head will be hanging there!"

Qin Nuo frowned.

No wonder the Burning Ghost said this boss was difficult to talk to.

This was beyond difficult, it was like facing an enemy!

With such customer service, having any customers at all was a miracle!

Qin Nuo remained unfazed.

The boss suddenly stood up.

At that moment, a middle-aged woman suddenly walked over.

She grabbed a fruit knife from the table and stabbed it directly into the boss's neck, causing him to topple to the ground.

Qin Nuo was startled.

What the hell!

Such intensity right off the bat, what kind of grudge is this?

"Sorry about that, I'm the Boss Lady here. That old bastard can't speak properly and has scared away countless customers."

"In our shop, we don't care if you're human or ghost. Once you're in, you're our customer."

The Boss Lady appeared to be around thirty, with a kind face and a friendly tone.

Of course, if it weren't for that knife earlier, Qin Nuo would have thought she was human, and a normal one at that.

"What do you want to buy?"

Qin Nuo was about to speak when the boss suddenly stood up, pulled out the fruit knife from his neck, and then stabbed it fiercely into the Boss Lady's head!

The Boss Lady was unfazed, even maintaining a bright smile on her face.

"Stupid woman, rebelling?" the boss cursed.

The Boss Lady turned around, grabbed the boss, and threw him into a dark room.

Then, she took an axe from under the counter and followed him into the dark room.

After a while, intense fighting sounds and some tearing noises came from the room, sending chills down one's spine.

About two minutes later.

The Boss Lady came out, covered in blood, yet still polite, "Sorry for letting you see our family drama."

"It just proves that if you don't discipline men harshly, they'll never know who's the real head of the household!"

"…"

Qin Nuo's mouth twitched slightly, agreeing, "Well said, well said."

"Alright, tell me what you want to buy."

Qin Nuo handed over the note.

Seeing ingredient number 8, the Boss Lady's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
