Horror Game: What to Do If You're Too Handsome

The carriage dropped An Xinghe and Lin Yan off at the gates of Gray Country before heading back to report.

Unlike Snow White's Dwarf Kingdom, where patrols were so strict, Gray Country's gates were wide open, as if to say anyone who wanted to enter could just walk in!

To use an analogy, the Dwarf Kingdom's city gate was like a girlfriend you'd just met—getting in required some effort, a mix of gentleness and force to succeed.

Gray Country's gate, on the other hand, was like a nymphomaniac heroine from Mizuryu Kei's works—if you were human, you were welcome!

And if you weren't human, well, that wasn't entirely unacceptable either.

[Ding! Detected players An Xinghe and Lin Yan arriving at Gray Country. Quest progress updated.]

[Ding! Quest hint! Only those equipped with the Protagonist Halo can obtain Cinderella's Glass Slipper!]

The two entered the city and found it bustling with people coming and going, lively and noisy.

Lin Yan randomly picked a young girl in the city, flashed what he thought was a handsome smile, and asked:

"Missy, can big brother ask you a few things?"

"Slap!"

The little girl turned and gave Lin Yan a slap:

"Who are you calling missy! I'm only eight! Mom says I can't talk to strange uncles, especially ugly strange ones!"

That slap left Lin Yan frozen for a long moment. An Xinghe thought he'd been stunned silly and stepped forward to console him:

"Actually, you don't need to take it to heart..."

But Lin Yan chuckled slyly:

"Eight... if she's this tall at eight, then at eighteen she'd be..."

"Slap!"

An Xinghe gave Lin Yan a slap right then and there!

Lin Yan fumed:

"What right do you have to hit me!"

"To rid the world of a menace!"

"I have no f*cking words!"

Seeing that this little girl wasn't working out, Lin Yan immediately turned his gaze to the next young girl.

This one looked about twenty-two or twenty-three, probably still naive and inexperienced.

Lin Yan smoothed his hair, stepped forward, and asked:

"Beautiful, can I ask you something?"

The girl looked Lin Yan up and down for a moment, then suddenly shouted:

"Help! Someone's trying to assault me!"

An Xinghe was quick on his feet—he shoved Lin Yan aside and stepped up to the girl himself.

Before he could even speak, the girl said first:

"Young brother, you don't look like you're from around here. Is there anything I can help with? It's cold out here—why don't you come to my place and we can talk slowly!"

In the Livestream Room.

[The difference in treatment is way too big!]

[I want to be invited to a missy's house on first meeting too!]

[The guy above is dreaming of peaches!]

[If I were Lin Yan, I'd be crying in the bathroom by now!]

[If I were Lin Yan, I'd be eating in the bathroom by now!]

[If I were Lin Yan, I'd be on my second meal in the bathroom!]

[Enough from the guy above—Lin Yan's already miserable, don't add drama for him!]

Lin Yan was also feeling a bit of cardiac arrest from the stark contrast in treatment.

He could never queue up for a dungeon with An Xinghe again!

Too torturous!

An Xinghe naturally wouldn't refuse the girl's invitation.

To put it bluntly, if Lin Yan weren't here, there might even be a "fatality" tonight!

The two had no place to stay in Gray Country anyway—why not freeload a hotel?

On the way back, the girl chattered in An Xinghe's ear:

"Young brother, my name is Katie. What's yours?"

"My name is Katie Lack—no, I mean, An Xinghe!"

"An Xinghe... our names match so perfectly! Were we lovers in a past life?"

Barrage.

[I really can't figure out how Katie and An Xinghe match at all!]

[One's a Chinese name, the other's English—it looks totally off, right!]

[Missy Katie, wake up! Don't let your heart be blinded by lard!]

[I said that same line to my Goddess, and now I'm still her backup option.]

[Missy Katie, your flirting is way too direct!]

[Is this what throwing yourself at someone looks like?! I want that too, dammit!!]

Since An Xinghe planned to stay at Katie's place for a few days, he naturally had to chat with her.

He could also take the chance to gather some information.

"Katie, who else is in your family?"

Katie replied:

"I have an older sister, Charlotte. And then there's my mom!"

"My dad works away from home all year, so he usually doesn't come back."

"And then there's a younger sister, but... forget it, I won't talk about her. She's not home right now."

Lin Yan, standing behind the two, couldn't help but suck in a cold breath!

Little girl, your family's just a mother and two daughters—three women total!

Isn't this setup just handing An Xinghe a triple kill!

Having seen how devastating An Xinghe's effect on women was, Lin Yan felt nothing but despair for his own future.

He was probably going to be stuffed full of dog food again.

Chapter 38: Charlotte

Katie's home was fairly large.

But considering her family had five people, it still felt like the house wasn't enough.

Katie led An Xinghe and Lin Yan to a small room with a tiny single bed.

She said:

"You two must be exhausted from your journey to our Gray Country. Unfortunately, this is the only spare bed left, so..."

Lin Yan quickly waved his hand: "No problem, no problem! We two big guys can squeeze together!"

Then Katie continued:

"So I'm afraid Mr. Lin Yan will have to make do here for the night. As for Mr. An, my room's bed is big enough for two people..."

Livestream Room.

[Missy Katie's speed at throwing herself at him is shocking me again!]

[I want to be handsome too!]

[Lin Yan thought he'd be treated equally, but he's stuck in a cramped room eating dust, while An Xinghe gets to eat in a beauty's arms.]

[Lin Yan shouldn't be in the room; he should be under the bed.]

[Missy Katie's shy expression is so cute...]

[Please, let An Xinghe's little brother rest for a while!]

Lin Yan watched An Xinghe being invited by Katie, his heart feeling like ten thousand alpacas stampeding through!

Can you stop flaunting your love right in front of me!!

Suddenly, Lin Yan thought of a solution! Even if it meant humbling himself a bit, as long as it got back at An Xinghe, that dog food dispenser, it'd be worth it!

He asked:

"Missy Katie, do you have a sheep pen at home?"

"Huh? I do, but Mr. Lin Yan, what do you want to do? At this hour, my little sheep haven't grown up yet—they can't handle that kind of thing."

Lin Yan quickly waved his hand:

"No, no! That's not what I meant! I'm just not used to sleeping in a bed. I'd rather sleep on the straw in the sheep pen. Leave this bed for An Xinghe!"

Katie couldn't imagine anyone making such a strange request. She asked to confirm:

"Mr. Lin Yan, are you really not planning to do that kind of thing? My little sheep really can't take it!"

"Missy Katie! Please trust me! I just want to sleep in the sheep pen!"

And then An Xinghe wouldn't be able to dish out dog food anymore!
