The system notification rang in Li Yi's mind," Ding!" Congratulations to the host for obtaining the permanent right to use the item 'Hollow Paper.' There is no limit to the number of times this item can be used. However, each time the item is used, the money earned by the host from completing the mission in the system store will be spent. Because the number of words and effects of the Hollow Paper are different, the amount of money required will also be different.”
"If you need to use the 'Empty Paper' when completing the mission, the system will give the host a chance to use it for free.”
When Li Yi heard the system's words, the joy he felt from drawing the " Empty Paper " instantly disappeared.
Li Yi sighed and shook his head.""Sigh, what a pity. I got such a good item but I can't use it. Including the money I earned from playing with you in reality, I only have a total of 160 yuan. The money in my system store might not even be enough to use the 'Empty Paper' once.”
Li Yi changed his mind and thought," But it's better than nothing. Although I can't use it now, I'll be able to use this Empty Paper when I earn more and more money in the future, right?”
Li Yi's heart was immediately enlightened when he thought of this. Li Yi believed that with his current rate of accepting orders, the amount of money in his System Store would soon reach four or five digits. By then, it would be enough for him to use Empty Paper.
Not long after, Li Yi's parents returned from work. As Li Yi had already put his shoes and clothes back in their original positions, Li Yi's parents did not know that he had gone out in the afternoon. They thought that Li Yi had been staying at home.
As for Li Yi himself, he was naturally not stupid enough to tell them that he went out to play in the afternoon with a girl from the same school. In the end, that girl even kissed him and confessed to him.
If Li Yi were to tell anyone about this, not only would his father scold him for not doing his job properly, but Li Yi would probably never be able to go out to play again. Even his phone might be confiscated. Perhaps, in order to prevent Li Yi from spending time with that girl, his father and mother might even send Li Yi to and from school, leaving Li Yi with no freedom at all.
Li Yi was terrified just thinking about it. Hence, when the family was eating at the dining table, Li Yi did not dare to say a word, afraid that he would let the cat out of the bag.
After Li Yi finished his meal and returned to his room, he happened to hear a message notification from his phone. Li Yi unlocked it and saw that the person who sent him the message was Su Yuxue.
Su Yuxue had sent Li Yi a voice message. If her parents were not back, Li Yi would have immediately opened it to listen. However, his parents were at home now, and Li Yi was worried that Su Yuxue's voice would be heard by them. He had no choice but to put on his earphones before opening the voice message.
Li Yi opened the voice chat and heard Su Yuxue ask Li Yi softly,""You're home, right? What are you doing?"
It turned out that Su Yuxue was afraid that her mother at home would hear her, so she spoke very softly. Li Yi raised the volume a few times before he could hear Su Yuxue's words clearly.
Li Yi did not like to communicate via voice chat, so he replied immediately,""I've been home for half a day and just finished eating. What's the matter?”
After Su Yuxue saw Li Yi's reply, she pouted and thought angrily,""Can't I look for you if there's nothing else? I miss you, can't I come and find you?”
Initially, Su Yuxue did not want to send Li Yi a message, afraid that Li Yi would think that she was not being reserved. Even if it was a girl chasing a guy, Su Yuxue felt that a girl should still maintain her reserved self.
When Su Yuxue parted ways with Li Yi, she kissed him. This was already very bold and proactive. Su Yuxue thought that she should wait for Li Yi to contact her first.
However, Su Yuxue waited for several hours, but Li Yi did not send her a message. It was almost time to sleep. If she did not receive a message from Li Yi today, Su Yuxue would probably think about this for the rest of the night and would not be able to sleep.
Su Yuxue had no choice but to secretly send Li Yi a message, asking him what he was up to, hoping to chat with him for a while.
Su Yuxue replied to Li Yi via voice chat,""Nothing much. I just wanted to chat with you.”
Li Yi replied,[Sure, Snow Words, what do you want to talk about?]”
When Su Yuxue saw Li Yi's words, she could not help but feel helpless. She shook her head slightly, sighed, and muttered to herself,""Sigh, do we have to let the girls find the topic of conversation? I don't need you to answer my question. I already know the answer. You definitely don't have a girlfriend.”
Since Su Yuxue had already made up her mind to pursue Li Yi and make him her boyfriend, she would not change her mind over such a small matter.
Su Yuxue thought about it and said to Li Yi,""Oh right, didn't you say that besides 'Corpse Transformation', you have other ghost stories? Can you tell me another one?”
After Li Yi heard Su Yuxue's words, he smiled and replied,""Yuxue, do you still want to hear it? Aren't you afraid after listening to a ghost story in the middle of the night? Don't be so scared that you can't sleep anymore."
Su Yuxue thought about it and felt that Li Yi was right. She was already scared witless by Li Yi's Zombie Transformation during the day. It was still night time and she was about to sleep. If she were to listen to another scary ghost story from Li Yi, she might not be able to sleep.
If Su Yuxue had not thought of the ghost story that Li Yi was telling her, she would have been fine. However, when she thought about it, she wanted to listen to it even more. After all, Su Yuxue had never heard such an interesting ghost story before. Moreover, she could use the opportunity of listening to the ghost story to chat with Li Yi and stay longer.
After a moment of hesitation, Su Yuxue decided to let Li Yi tell her another ghost story. Su Yuxue sent a message to Li Yi,""Don't worry, I won't be afraid.”
Seeing that Su Yuxue had already made up her mind, Li Yi did not try to persuade her further."You say you're not afraid, but what if you're afraid? You can blame me when the time comes, but since you insist on listening, I'll choose a story that's not that scary to tell you!”
Li Yi chose from the 400 odd stories in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and finally decided to tell Su Yuxue a story called " City Connecting ".
" Alright," Li Yi said to Su Yuxue." I'll tell you a story that's not too scary. But how do I tell it to you?" Should I send you a voice message or write down the story and send it to you?”
