Playing House? Naked Targeting!

"Welcome to Myriad Phenomena City, survivors."

The voice was devoid of emotion, grand and hollow, coming from all directions, yet sounding directly in everyone's minds.

The voice carried an undeniable majesty, causing Xia Yao and Kachi's expressions to instantly turn slightly solemn!

"I am Lilian, the City Lord of Myriad Phenomena City, and I will now read out the Master's will."

The grand voice didn't give anyone time to react and directly announced the new survival game.

"Game Name: Playing House."

"Game Duration: Three months."

"Game Rules: 'Live' in this city and earn enough 'Ghost Coins'. Those who fail to meet the target amount by the end of the game will be completely erased."

As the words fell, the air in the center of the playground distorted, and a huge virtual screen appeared out of nowhere.

On the screen, lines of cold text appeared, clearly indicating each person's "net worth."

[A-Class Roommate, Mission Target: 50,000 Ghost Coins.]

[S-Class Roommate, Mission Target: 100,000 Ghost Coins.]

[SS-Class Roommate, Mission Target: 1,000,000 Ghost Coins.]

[SSS-Class Roommate, Mission Target: 10,000,000 Ghost Coins.]

Almost simultaneously, a novel mobile phone and a pure black bank card appeared out of thin air in every survivor's hand.

The phones automatically turned on, and the screen displayed only a single app named "Ghost Coin Wallet."

The survivors subconsciously tapped it open, and everyone's initial balance was a glaring red number.

-3000.

It was obvious that this was the cost of the phone and bank card. Starting off in debt, this was typical of the Anomaly world.

"Ten million?" Chu He's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the SSS-Class target amount.

Just then, City Lord Lilian's emotionless voice sounded again, this time with a deliberate emphasis.

"Special Announcement: Dragon Country contestant Chu He has two SSS-Class roommates, and their mission targets are cumulative."

"Total: Twenty million Ghost Coins."

As soon as this was said, the entire playground fell into a deathly silence, which was then instantly shattered by an uproar!

"Twenty million? Hahaha! Twenty million in three months?"

"My god, this is going to be good! Serves him right for being so arrogant before, with two beauties by his side!"

"He deserves it! This is karma! Our targets are at most 100,000, and his is 200 times that!"

The elites from various countries, who had been jealous of Chu He, now had faces full of schadenfreude. They looked at Chu He with undisguised malice and mockery, as if they could already see his tragic end of being erased in three months.

Chu He's face darkened like the bottom of a pot.

Twenty million! This wasn't playing house, this was a seven-day wake!

However, Kachi beside him pouted dismissively, waved her little hand, and said in a childish voice, "A mere twenty million? It's not even a fraction of my assets."

Xia Yao also remained expressionless, her eyes showing a sense of inevitability. To her, money was just a number; let alone twenty million, even two hundred billion would be achieved with a flick of her finger. With these two incredibly wealthy SSS-Class existences as her backing, a target of twenty million seemed... not so difficult?

The survivors' mocking laughter, suppressed by the aura of the two queens, instantly weakened. Many people muttered to themselves, Damn it, I forgot this kid is a kept man! With two SSS-Class big shots covering him, twenty million is probably a piece of cake, right?

However, just as everyone was thinking this, Lilian's next sentence, like a divine punishment from the heavens, struck Chu He's head fiercely.

"Supplementary Rule One: All participants are prohibited from using their roommates' funds in any form. Roommates can only spend the participant's money to survive, and any financial assistance to the participant is forbidden."

Boom! Chu He's head buzzed, and he was completely stunned.

Can't use roommates' money? And can only spend my money? I'm currently 3,000 in debt! What am I supposed to let you spend? The north wind?

With this rule in place, Kachi and Xia Yao were dumbfounded on the spot. Amidst the survivor crowd, after half a second of silence, there erupted laughter even louder and more unrestrained than before!

"Hahahaha! This is hilarious! Not allowed to use roommates' money!"

"Pulling the rug out from under him! That move is brilliant!"

"Now look at this, two SSS-class ATMs have turned into two SSS-class Gold Swallowers! He has to support two big shots for three months and earn twenty million! How is that even possible!"

"Of course," Lilian's voice continued emotionlessly, "To ensure the basic playability of the game, the 'Master' has benevolently provided you with initial assistance."

"Supplementary Rule Two: All participants will receive a corresponding loan limit based on their roommate's rank. A-Class roommate, fifty thousand limit; S-Class, one hundred thousand; SS-Class, one million; SSS-Class, ten million."

"Dragon Country contestant Chu He, your total loan limit is: twenty million Ghost Coins."

As the words fell, Chu He tapped his 'Ghost Coin Wallet', and below the negative three thousand balance, a line of small text appeared.

[Available Loan Limit: 20,000,000]

This was not benevolence at all!

This was clearly pushing him into a fiery pit!

It gave him the ability to spend money, but also burdened him with a mountain that could crush him at any moment!

He not only had to earn the twenty million task objective now, but also repay all the loans he might have used!

This wasn't just targeting him anymore, this was clearly meant to kill him!

"This is too much!"

An icy roar echoed through the heavens!

Xia Yao could no longer suppress the rage in her heart.

Terrifying energy fluctuations erupted from her petite body, and scarlet killing intent swept across the entire training ground like a materialized storm!

The sky instantly turned gloomy, and a sweet, bloody scent filled the air. All the survivors were pinned to the ground by this oppressive aura, finding it difficult even to breathe!

She actually wanted to directly challenge the 'Master's' rules!

"Don't be impulsive!"

Just as Xia Yao was about to make a move, Kachi tightly grabbed her wrist and shouted in her ear with an unprecedentedly urgent tone.

"Yao Yao! This is His rule trap! If we act, we'll give Him a reason to directly erase Little He He!"

For the first time, Xia Yao's usually cunningly smiling pretty face showed a complex expression mixed with trouble, anger, and a hint of crazed fighting spirit.

She knew that from the moment they were noticed by the 'Master', this game was no longer just about survival.

Xia Yao's scarlet eyes stared fixedly at the sky, her chest heaving violently. In the end, she forcibly suppressed the power that could destroy worlds.

It was also the first time Chu He had seen Xia Yao truly angry, her usually dead-silent black eyes becoming so scarlet and terrifying.

Within a distant and majestic Temple.

Xia Yan sat before a large water mirror, which clearly reflected everything happening on the training ground.

When he saw Chu He's face turn from black to white, then from white to green, and finally to a ghastly pale color, he finally couldn't hold back.

"Pfft—Hahahaha!"

Xia Yan clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he bent over, his sturdy body shaking on the throne, tears streaming from his eyes.

"Oh, Master! Beautifully done! So damn satisfying!"

He laughed maniacally, slapping his thigh forcefully, muttering to himself.

"You little brat, stealing my family's cabbage! You little brat, charming my niece around your finger! You little brat, forcing me into a Blood Pact!"

"Twenty million! And I can't even use their money! Hahahaha!"

Xia Yan's laughter echoed through the vast Temple, filled with the pleasure of revenge.

On the training ground.

Chu He's complexion could no longer be described as pale.

This wasn't bullying an honest person anymore.

This was trying to kill an honest person!
