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

An Xinghe pointed at the carriage.

"In the south of Gray Country, there's a forest, and a Hunter lives in it."

"He makes a living killing wolves. He's killed so many that his hat's been stained red with blood, so people call him Little Red Riding Hood."

"Our carriage is headed straight for that Hunter's cabin!"

The journey passed without a word. Under the carriage's steady pace, the two soon arrived before Little Red Riding Hood's wooden cabin.

[Ding! Detected players An Xinghe and Lin Yan arriving at Little Red Riding Hood's cabin. Quest progress updated.]

[Ding! Players have obtained items: Poisoned Apple That Was Eaten, Cinderella's Glass Slipper.]

[Keep up the good work!]

Chapter 43: Brother An, Your Great Kindness I'll Never Forget

The two stood before Little Red Riding Hood's cabin. Before they could enter, Lin Yan blocked An Xinghe's path and said:

"Brother An, Brother An, Dad An! You've already conquered two queens in a row!"

"I've been single for thirty years now! I haven't even touched a girl's hand!"

"I finally run into a dungeon with this many beauties, so please, Brother An, give me a chance—don't show yourself in front of Little Red Riding Hood, and let me have a sweet romance!"

Lin Yan painted himself so pitifully that An Xinghe couldn't bear it!

An Xinghe knew all too well his own effect on women. As long as he was around, Lin Yan would never get a girlfriend in this lifetime.

He sighed and said:

"Fine, I'll wait outside. You go find Little Red Riding Hood yourself."

"Thanks, Brother An! Your great kindness I'll never forget!"

Lin Yan tidied himself up, cleared his throat, and even pulled out a small mirror to check if his clothes were in order.

After that, he pushed open Little Red Riding Hood's door:

"Hehehe, anyone home? I'm here to see Little Red Riding Hood!"

"No answer? Then I'm coming in~"

An Xinghe waited outside, bored out of his mind. Five minutes later, a burly man—two meters tall, two hundred pounds—came out carrying Lin Yan under his arm.

On the burly man's head sat a red hat.

He tossed Lin Yan in front of An Xinghe and growled:

"This yours?"

"Looks like it."

"I was sleeping just now, and this creep tried to sneak up on me! I taught him a lesson! Tell him to watch himself!"

The burly man stormed back into the cabin, fuming. An Xinghe poked Lin Yan, who was sprawled on the ground:

"Are you a top or a bottom?"

"What top! What bottom! Don't you go slandering me!"

"Then you must be a bottom. Can you handle that Uncle?"

"I said I'm not a bottom, damn it!"

"So you're a top, then. Didn't know you had such heavy tastes!"

Lin Yan saw he was only making things worse and shut up.

He stood up:

"An Xinghe, I didn't see Little Red Riding Hood in that cabin at all?"

"Didn't see her? Then who threw you out?"

Lin Yan's eyes went wide: "You're not saying that Uncle is Little Red Riding Hood, are you!"

"Bingo! Nailed it! Go on, Lin Yan, use your charm to win over that Uncle!"

Lin Yan scrambled a few steps back behind An Xinghe:

"You go, you go. I'll just handle the fighting, hehehe."

An Xinghe shot him a glare, walked up to the cabin, and knocked:

"Uncle, can we talk?"

Little Red Riding Hood's Uncle opened the door, looked at An Xinghe, and smiled:

"What's your business?"

An Xinghe's skill [Astonishingly Handsome] was just too powerful! Almost everyone's first impression of him was excellent! The Uncle's tone was quite friendly too.

"I wanted to ask, Uncle, could you give me your hat?"

The Uncle touched the hat on his head and shook his head:

"No can do! My Grandma made this for me!"

An Xinghe couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush, so he said directly:

"Uncle, what do we have to do for you to give us that hat?"

Little Red Riding Hood's uncle paused, then smiled:

"Looks like you're dead set on getting my hat!"

"The grandmother who sewed this hat for me was eaten by a wolf not long after she finished it."

"I swore I'd kill every last wolf to avenge her!"

"If you, young brother, can bring me the head of the Wolf King from this forest, then I'll give you this hat. How about it?"

"Deal!"

After An Xinghe came back, he told Lin Yan about it.

Lin Yan slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly:

"Great! Great!"

An Xinghe looked at him puzzled:

"Why are you so happy? Don't tell you just did a Little Elephant Mutual Entertainment with Little Red Riding Hood?"

"Damn it! Finally, I've run into a combat-type script! The first two scripts nearly bored me to death! Let's go, let's go, we're finding the Wolf King right now!"

Seeing Lin Yan so hyped, An Xinghe couldn't help but pour cold water on him:

"Let me tell you first, whether it's a wolf or a sheep, humans can't be with them! Don't get your hopes up too high!"

"An Xinghe!! How many times do I have to say it before you believe me! I didn't do that kind of thing to the Little Sheep!"

An Xinghe wore an expression that said "I won't judge you," patted Lin Yan on the shoulder:

"I think, everyone's XP System is different. I may not understand you, but I respect your choices!"

"The one surnamed An! You talk a good game, but why are you getting farther and farther away from me!"

"Ah, this, Mom said if you get too close to a pervert, you'll become one yourself."

"I told you I'm not a pervert!"

An Xinghe's face was full of sympathy:

"I get it, I get it. I once had a girlfriend who liked cosplaying as Holo, and I got just as much flak as you."

"The hell you call that flak! That was righteous punishment! And by the way, I've had enough of your Dog Food in the Horror Game! Don't force-feed me your Dog Food from outside the game, you bastard!"

Livestream Room.

[I came to the livestream to learn skills... pfft, I mean to watch the villain flip! Not to learn adult knowledge!]

[These two are racing faster and faster!]

[Stop the car! This isn't the bus to kindergarten!]

[Ever since I entered this Livestream Room, my XP System hasn't been normal!]

[Who with a normal XP System would come to this Livestream Room!]

Chapter 44 Knowledge is Power

Night gradually fell.

Howls echoed through the woods.

An Xinghe and Lin Yan exchanged a glance and walked into the forest together.

The forest was pitch black. The two crouched low, creeping slowly through the grass.

Without knowing the Wolf King's location, it was best to be cautious.

Suddenly, An Xinghe grabbed Lin Yan:

"Don't move!"

Lin Yan froze in place. An Xinghe stepped forward alone and blew aside the leaves on the ground.

A massive footprint appeared before them!

This footprint was bigger than the largest elephant's foot!

Lin Yan's jaw dropped: "An Xinghe! What animal's footprint is this?! A mammoth?!"

"No, it's a wolf's footprint!"

"A wolf's footprint!" Lin Yan exclaimed. "How could it be a wolf's footprint! What kind of wolf has a footprint this big?!"

An Xinghe pushed aside more leaves, gradually finding other footprints. He explained:

"Look closely. The front paw has five toes, the hind paw has four, and the toes are clearly visible—that's a distinct canine feature."

"Also, the prints are shallow, which means it's not a wild dog, but a wolf."

"Most likely the most widespread species, the Gray Wolf!"
