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

Listening to An Xinghe's analysis, Lin Yan wore an expression of disbelief:

"How... how do you know so much?!"

"Isn't this common sense?"

"That's Bear Grylls-level common sense!"

Livestream Room.

[I thought An Xinghe was just good-looking, but who knew his knowledge reserves and reasoning skills were just as impressive!]

[When we all thought An Xinghe was a kept man, who knew he was a pro!]

[Brothers in the livestream, don't you remember in the Ghost Tale of Hong Kong instance, when An Xinghe faced the Spider Female Ghost and charged forward instead of retreating?! This guy's guts are freakishly big too!]

[With An Xinghe in this state, I feel like a big shot from the Horror Game is about to emerge.]

[Above, let me correct you—not about to emerge, but already here! Even if An Xinghe never updates his equipment or skills and just levels up to Level 50, his combat power is still terrifying!]

Either way, having a knowledgeable teammate was great!

An Xinghe not only deduced the Wolf King's size and habits but even the direction of the wolf pack.

The two walked for about ten minutes in the direction An Xinghe pointed and spotted three wolves.

These wolves were enormous in size, each nearly as tall as a person!

They were like oversized Saber-Toothed Tigers!

An Xinghe gave Lin Yan a look, and the latter pulled out his Nine-Ringed Saber, ready to charge, but An Xinghe said:

"Don't kill them! Just cripple them!"

Lin Yan said irritably:

"At a time like this, you're still spouting that animal protection crap?!"

"I need them alive!"

Lin Yan curled his lip but kept An Xinghe's words in mind as he charged at the three wolves with his saber.

Lin Yan himself was Level 17, with a physique far beyond ordinary people, and with the help of the Nine-Ringed Saber, he fought the three wolves to a standstill!

A gunshot rang out! A 7.62 bullet tore through the night sky, hitting one wolf's leg.

Lin Yan knew An Xinghe was backing him up from behind, so he swung his saber even harder!

Though the three wolves were massive, their intelligence hadn't improved much.

An Xinghe took them down one by one with a single shot each, crippling them all!

The fight ended quickly. Lin Yan sat on the ground, exhausted, looking at the wolves that couldn't get up, as An Xinghe caught up from behind.

"Old An, what are you keeping these beasts for?"

An Xinghe didn't answer. He just took out three packs of chocolate and fed one to each wolf!

This was the Common Grade item [Magic Chocolate] he'd obtained in the Ghost Tale of Hong Kong instance.

After feeding it to weaker creatures, An Xinghe could control them to perform simple actions and also communicate with them.

After reading the Magic Chocolate's effect, Lin Yan complained:

"What use is this thing! Even if you can control three wolves, it's not a big boost to our combat power!"

An Xinghe was a bit exasperated:

"Lin Yan, you're not seriously planning for us to go head-to-head with the Wolf King, are you?"

"What else?!"

"You're a Level 17 player—you should know the Horror Game's tricks by now! Would it design a Wolf King boss with mediocre strength?!"

Hearing this, Lin Yan broke out in a cold sweat!

Every instance in the Horror Game was a near-death experience! Every instance he'd been through before had required exhausting every ounce of strategy and courage to survive!

This instance had been easy to breeze through Snow White and Cinderella's storylines thanks to An Xinghe's looks, but that had also let Lin Yan, who'd been coasting along, let his guard down!

Good thing An Xinghe stayed on high alert, or the two of them might have stumbled into the Wolf King cluelessly and ended up dead!

At the very least, severely injured!

Chapter 45: The Despicable Two-Legged Beast!

Even knowing the Wolf King wouldn't be easy to deal with, Lin Yan still didn't see the point in luring three wolves.

An Xinghe walked up to one of the wolves and crouched down.

His Magic Chocolate's control over these wolves wasn't very precise, so he planned to use another effect of the chocolate—

The ability to communicate with the creature that ate it!

A human voice rang out in the wolf's mind:

"You... want to become the Wolf King?"

The little wolf looked at him, seemingly not understanding his meaning.

An Xinghe continued his persuasion:

"Think about it—every mating season, doesn't the Wolf King get first pick of mates? The prettiest she-wolves are all his! Don't you hate that? Don't you envy it?"

"Ao!"

The wolf howled, as if An Xinghe had struck a nerve.

An Xinghe pressed his advantage:

"What if one day the Wolf King sets his eyes on the goddess you've been pining over for ages?! Could you just watch her pinned beneath him, her dull eyes brimming with tears, while you stand there powerless? Is that what a man... a male wolf should do?!"

"Think again—why isn't the Wolf King you?! You're clearly no worse than him! You just need a little help..."

"As long as you join us to kill the Wolf King, then the next Wolf King will be you."

Wolves were born naive—how could they withstand such brainwashing!

Right then, An Xinghe had the wolf's blood boiling!

[Livestream Room]

[Has An Xinghe done pyramid schemes before?!]

[A perfectly innocent wolf, and An Xinghe turns it into a pawn.]

[An Xinghe's probably about to roar out 'Thirty Years East of the River, Thirty Years West' next...]

[Bro who said 'done pyramid schemes'—what tone are you reading that 'done' in?]

[Ha! Despicable human!]

This wolf was completely won over by An Xinghe, whether driven by a craving for priority mating rights or the youthful ambition of "Why isn't the Wolf King me?"

After that, An Xinghe had it lure the Wolf King here, saying it didn't need to do anything else, then let it go.

Lin Yan stood nearby, dumbfounded. He felt like he was seeing An Xinghe in a whole new light.

So An Xinghe wasn't just handsome—he was pretty capable too!

An Xinghe slapped his shoulder:

"Don't just stand there gawking. Get to work."

"W-work on what?"

"What else? I've already had someone lure the Wolf King here—of course we're digging a trap!"

"Oh." Lin Yan pulled out his tools and was about to start when he saw An Xinghe heading toward the edge of the forest.

He called out:

"What are you doing? Don't slack off!"

An Xinghe shot him a glare: "I'm going to borrow something from Uncle the Hunter. I'll add some seasoning for the Wolf King later."

The two of them bustled back and forth all night, slept through the next day, and only heard heavy footsteps approaching by afternoon.

An Xinghe kicked Lin Yan:

"He's here!"

Lin Yan drew his Nine-Ringed Saber, An Xinghe pulled out his F2 Sniper Rifle, and both stared intently at the jungle ahead.

A distant wolf howl rang out, and a massive wolf, four meters tall, appeared before them in all its majesty!

Its fur was a silver-white unlike ordinary wolves, its limbs thick and powerful, its eyes gleaming with menace!

Lin Yan couldn't help feeling immensely relieved!

Just from its appearance, the Wolf King was incredibly formidable!

If they'd charged the Wolf King head-on before, the two of them would likely be dead by now!

"Bang!"

The sniper rifle rang out with a crisp sound, a bullet streaking straight for the Wolf King's forehead.

"Bang!"

The bullet struck the forehead—a 7.62 round that could pierce steel now only left a bloody dent on the Wolf King's brow!

And this was a Fine Grade weapon!

It showed just how powerful the Wolf King was!

The Wolf King, stung by the pain, let out another long howl and charged at An Xinghe!

"Run!"

An Xinghe shouted, and both of them took off at once.

But the Wolf King's speed and leaping ability far surpassed theirs. With a single pounce, it lunged straight at An Xinghe!

At that moment, An Xinghe showed no panic at all—instead, he smiled!

Everything was going exactly as he'd planned!

An Xinghe executed a side roll, letting the Wolf King sail past him and crash straight into the ground ahead!
