Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife Chapter 43: The Second Drawer, Another Reward from Gu Yuan

Their ordinary life together passed in the blink of an eye.

A week went by in a flash.

During that week,

the female players from other countries had made little progress. No matter how hard they tried to win over their marriage partners, they saw few results.

However, compared to when they first arrived in Wansheng District,

the ghosts’ attitudes toward them had improved considerably.

Although the marriage system didn’t provide a specific affection level, leaving the players to figure everything out for themselves,

a veteran player had once created an affection rating chart. It was known worldwide, and basically every female player participating in the ghost marriages knew about it.

The affection level ranged from 0 to 100!

Generally, an affection level below 50 ant the ghost disliked or was disgusted by them.

ant cold indifference, while 60 was a casual acquaintance.

But reaching above 60 was a whole new level.

It ant the ghost was starting to take the relationship seriously.

An affection level of 70 ant deep affection, 80 ant wholehearted devotion, and 90 ant they were as close as family.

Finally, a full 100 ant the ghost would live and die with them.

As things stood,

Yamada Aiko and the others ntally estimated where they stood.

Their ghost partners...

...had probably reached an affection level of just over 50.

This was largely thanks to them completing missions and giving gifts to their ghost partners.

However, the higher the affection level, the harder it was to raise.

Especially the threshold of 60.

In previous rounds of the ghost marriages, most players had failed before this very hurdle.

Yun Zhenyue, on the other hand, was completely carefree.

She had no idea this chart even existed.

She wasn’t focused on winning over Gu Yuan either.

She didn’t deliberately sweet-talk him or try to curry favor for no reason.

The two of them were just like any ordinary young couple.

They spent all day at ho playing gas, watching TV, and discussing what to eat for their next al.

Lily would lie next to them, purring, lazy and content.

Yun Zhenyue made her cat food every day.

She would cook and chop up chicken breast, pork liver, and large shrimp.

Since Lily didn’t like to exercise much, she had put on a lot of weight in the past few days, and her cheeks were even starting to get chubby.

Just then,

Yun Zhenyue and Gu Yuan had just finished a single-player ga.

Suddenly, a new notification sounded in her ear.

[Ding! You have a new marriage mission.]

[Learning so simple dical skills is conducive to a happy marriage!]

[Giving your marriage partner massages for their health can effectively increase their affection level!]

[Please proceed to Reincarnation Hospital today and study dicine for 7 days!]

[Mission Reward: Based on the level of dical skill acquired, the marriage system will heal your marriage partner!]

Yun Zhenyue blinked.

’Go to a hospital and study dicine for seven days?’

She was actually quite interested in dicine.

After all, they both stayed up late every day and were quite sedentary. Yun Zhenyue had wanted to do sothing for their health, but unfortunately, her massage skills were terrible. She had given Gu Yuan a few massages, and he’d always said he couldn’t feel anything.

’As for the reward?’

’Heal my marriage partner based on my dical skill level?’

Yun Zhenyue asked curiously, "Honey... are you injured in so way?"

Gu Yuan kept his eyes on the TV screen and answered casually without turning his head, "Nope. Why?"

As far as he knew, most ghosts in the Ghost World had hidden ailnts.

In the Ghost World, it was the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest!

In order to acquire dungeons and Ghost Coins, many ghosts were left with latent injuries from brutal fights. These injuries weren’t visible on the surface, but they could beco a liability during prolonged combat.

Ghost hospitals could treat these injuries, but... they were expensive!

The hospitals run by ghosts didn’t care about dical ethics. If you had Ghost Coins, you got treated. If not, you could get lost!

Gu Yuan had also suffered serious injuries in the past, but ever since he absorbed a ghost with self-healing abilities, those wounds healed with ease.

"Oh, I see."

Yun Zhenyue breathed a sigh of relief. She had been afraid that Gu Yuan was hiding so serious injury.

The lodramatic TV shows from the Great Cold Country, in particular, often featured loving young couples where one partner would suddenly get cancer. Watching them was agonizing for her.

"I’ve decided!"

"I’m going to study massage properly! Just you wait, honey. Once I’ve mastered it, I’ll give you a massage every day!"

Yun Zhenyue was now motivated. She raised a small fist and said with excitent.

"Alright..."

Gu Yuan chuckled softly at her words.

He didn’t think much of the whole massage thing.

"By the way, I still haven’t given you your reward from last ti."

"It’s in the sa nightstand. Open the second drawer and pick a reward."

Yun Zhenyue hadn’t taken a single one of the Ghost Coins they brought back from the Blood Moon Restaurant. She insisted on keeping them at ho, saying Gu Yuan could use them whenever he needed.

Unable to change her mind, Gu Yuan had stored all the Ghost Coins in a cabinet.

"A reward?"

Yun Zhenyue murmured curiously.

The property deed Gu Yuan gave her last ti had helped her a lot.

He had even called it a "playful little gesture."

It had almost made her blush beet red.

Yun Zhenyue didn’t refuse.

She knew if she tried to decline, Gu Yuan would just say sothing else to make her blush.

...

Hearing about the reward,

the audience in Dragon Country was filled with anticipation.

Unlike their indifference last ti,

they had high hopes for the reward Gu Yuan was giving!

After all, the first drawer of a seemingly ordinary nightstand contained a stack of property deeds!

So what could be in the second and third drawers?

Sothing even more valuable than property deeds.

They couldn’t even imagine it!

[Holy crap, Boss Gu Yuan is giving another reward! So hyped!]

[The first drawer was property deeds. Don’t tell the second one is full of bank books?]

[It’s possible! Considering he said one drop of his blood was worth a hundred million Ghost Coins, it might be stuffed with bank books!]

[I think it might be so kind of Ghost Artifact.]

[Mhm, it’s probably jewelry. I always keep my gold and silver jewelry in the second drawer, anyway.]

...

Soon,

Yun Zhenyue walked with light steps.

She entered the bedroom, her heart beating a little faster, and pulled open the second drawer of the nightstand.

But when she saw what was inside,

her gaze froze.

"Huh?"

Confused, Yun Zhenyue pulled the second drawer all the way out.

Inside was a pile of strange animal dolls.

There were a dozen or so of them, each only about the size of an orange—tiny and miniature.

However, most of the dolls were damaged in so way. A small elephant doll was missing its long trunk, and a little deer doll’s antlers looked as if they had been sawed off, its tiny body stained with blood.

How to describe it?

They were morbidly fascinating, yet also a little pitiable.

As Yun Zhenyue looked at them with surprise,

the dolls all seed to look back with pitiful eyes, as if begging her to take them away.

Just then, suddenly!

A lion doll in the front row tilted its head.

Yun Zhenyue thought she must have seen it wrong. ’How could a doll move?’

"That’s strange."

She rubbed her eyes.

But when she opened them again,

she found that the lion doll had been pushed aside sohow.

A small panda doll had suddenly appeared in the front row!

The little panda doll sat crookedly at the very front.

Its left eye was missing, revealing the dark fluff underneath, while its right eye had a strange full moon embroidered on it with blood-red thread.

One eye blind, the other red!

Completely asymtrical!

What was even stranger...

The panda doll’s mouth looked as if it had been repeatedly sewn shut with cotton thread and then unstitched. Its corners, as if pulled by an invisible hand, slowly stretched into a grin that reached its ears, looking both comical and eerie.

"This panda doll..."

Yun Zhenyue picked it up and couldn’t help but comnt.

The corner of the little panda doll’s mouth in her hand had been stretching wider and wider.

But then, unexpectedly!

it suddenly heard Yun Zhenyue’s disdainful voice.

"It’s a little ugly..."

The grin imdiately fell.

It looked as if it were about to cry.

Yun Zhenyue didn’t notice anything unusual.

She shook her head and said, "Whatever. I guess it’s so ugly it’s cute. I’ll take this one!"
