I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

Lan Yan's words caught Qin Nuo's attention for a moment.

"Congratulations to the remaining players for completing this instance. Your scores will now be evaluated, which will determine your rewards."

"After claiming your rewards, you will automatically exit the game instance."

The familiar voice echoed in the game space, and every player wore their excitement on their faces.

After enduring this nightmare for so many days, wasn't this what they had been waiting for?

Hesitating for a moment, Qin Nuo also received his instance score and rewards.

"Congratulations, Player 'Phantom,' for completing the 'Saint Yasi Asylum' instance with a score of 6.1!"

"Additional Score: Instance task completion 7/∞, earning a score of 5.0!"

"Additional Score: Main quest completion 1/1, earning a score of 5.9!"

"Player level has risen to Level 3, unlocking part of the System Shop."

"System Reward: Obtained Platinum Treasure Chest ×1!"

"Ghost Currency Reward: Denomination ×600!"

"Item Reward: Position Card ×2!" (Rare)

(Position Card Details: Upon use, the host can automatically select a position and replace it.)

"Note: This function card can be used both inside and outside instances, but must be within the Horror World."

"Territory Reward: Initial planning rights for territory industry!"

(Planning Rights Details: Let the professionals handle professional matters. Industries, like territorial disputes, undergo annexation, expansion, decline, and fall every day.)

"Trigger Rights Condition: Obtain and sign an agreement contract for another's industrial territory, allowing for modification and unconditional transfer of territory industry. The size of the territory industry matches the success rate."

"The score went up, but the rewards lacked ghost creature and skill rewards, yet there were two new things."

"Position Card, Planning Rights."

"The latter sounds a bit complex, but the former is a genuinely good thing."

Randomly selecting a position and replacing it!

This function is far superior to a life-saving scarecrow!

Qin Nuo liked to save valuable things for last. After collecting all his rewards, he looked up at the others.

At this moment, as everyone learned their instance scores and claimed their rewards, they were enveloped in a beam of light and transported out of the game space.

Lan Yan checked his rewards, a smile tugging at his lips, and looked at the blond man: "Emperor, what's your score?"

The blond man glanced at him, then at Qin Nuo, and said, "You should ask this guy. If nothing unexpected, his base score is 16.0."

Qin Nuo replied calmly, "I don't care much about scores. I'm just curious, what's the highest score for a set of instances?"

Lan Yan scratched his head, "That's a bit of a humblebrag."

"I remember someone from Dragon Country got the highest score, around 17.0. Higher than that, someone in Western Europe seems to have achieved even more," the blond man said.

Qin Nuo nodded, having asked casually, not really concerned.

"Two scores of 16.0, if nothing unexpected, you'll be even more sought after when you return to the real world. They'll go all out to recruit a gaming genius like you," the blond man murmured, as if talking to himself, or perhaps hinting at something.

Qin Nuo feigned indifference and asked, "Will they know my true identity?"

"The login device's true identity information is only known to the player. If the player doesn't disclose it, no one knows who they are."

"Guilds can only use certain methods to know a player's login time."

"Some guilds use this information to have members log in simultaneously, matching with a specific player in the same instance, and then recruit them online."

As the blond man spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Qin Nuo.

Qin Nuo wasn't foolish. He smiled and said, "So, you're the member who matched with me in an instance?"

The blond man smiled faintly, "Sort of. Half because of the guild, half because of myself, wanting to see if your 16.0 score was genuine."

"Now it seems you fully deserve this score."

"I'm the Emperor of the Ned Guild. I wanted to ask if you're interested..."

"Not interested," Qin Nuo shook his head without hesitation. "I prefer to go solo, used to being alone."

The blond man wasn't surprised and continued, "The Horror Game isn't as simple as you think. There are many rules you don't know about."

"Joining a guild will provide you with more useful conditions and resources, as well as protection."

In that sentence, the blond man emphasized the word "protection."

His gaze intentionally fell on Qin Nuo's right arm: "Half-Ghosts in the real world are more dangerous than in the Horror World. They treat Half-Ghosts without background or strength as prey."

"Since the Horror Game appeared, the real world has changed significantly. The surface calm is just a facade, with people mysteriously killed or disappearing every day behind the scenes."

"At this time, a guild is like a campfire for everyone to huddle around for warmth."

"Those outside the campfire will be engulfed in darkness, facing enemies on all sides."

"You should understand what I mean," the blond man smiled slightly.

Qin Nuo shrugged and said, "I understand."

"But I'm still not interested in joining a team."

Even if Qin Nuo was tempted, he had no choice but to refuse.

What set him apart from all other players was the System's enhancement, which was both a golden finger and a hot potato for Qin Nuo.

If he collaborated with a guild, they'd eventually discover some clues.

In an organization built solely on interests, once this secret was exposed, he'd truly be surrounded by enemies!

The blond man wasn't in a hurry and said, "No need to reply immediately. Think it over."

"If you change your mind, come find me at 46 Haitang Street, Tianding District, Jinzhou. My name is Fang Ye," the blond man said.

Qin Nuo's eyebrows twitched, "This blond guy revealed his true identity?"

Of course, it could be false information.

Lan Yan couldn't help but say, "Damn, the Emperor doesn't need to go this far to recruit someone, right?"

Saying this, he quickly told Qin Nuo the address of his own guild: "Don't trust that blond guy. He used to be in sales, and he's quite persuasive."

"Join my Yan Pavilion Guild. The benefits are generous, the salary is high, and we offer full insurance and housing fund."

"You enter the Horror Game mainly for instance rewards. Let me tell you, after joining a guild, you can use a mechanism to match low-level instances for high-level rewards. Besides this, there are many other benefits unique to guilds!"

Qin Nuo watched Lan Yan speak enthusiastically and laughed, "You seem more like a salesman."

The blond man said no more. He had said what needed to be said, and the choice was up to others. A beam of light enveloped him, and he was transported out of the game space.

Soon, Lan Yan was also forcibly transported out of the game space.

In the vast void, only Qin Nuo remained.

Qin Nuo opened the teleportation panel.

One option was to teleport back to the real world.

The other was to teleport to the Red Moon Convenience Store.

Qin Nuo confirmed the second option.

He hadn't forgotten that entering the Horror World this time, completing the instance game was secondary. The main goal was to build the Red Moon Convenience Store and return to the Nether Springs Restaurant from the first instance to purchase important ingredients...
