"Alright, finish your food and get some sleep."

After a long day, Qin Nuo wanted to collapse onto the bed, but going two days without a shower left him feeling unbearably filthy and itchy.

Better take a shower.

Qin Nuo thought to himself, not that he was sloppy.

It was just that stripping down completely while showering made him feel insecure.

Entering the bathroom, Qin Nuo suddenly noticed the faucet was dry, and the floor drain was clogged with a tangled mess of hair.

Glancing at Liu Jiaqi by the door, Qin Nuo said, "You're shedding quite a bit, aren't you?"

"No... it's not my hair," Liu Jiaqi replied, her face pale.

Qin Nuo's expression darkened, "Another ghost got in?"

The faucet sputtered like it was choking, then spewed out a disgusting pool of black blood.

And some unknown rotten flesh!

Even Qin Nuo couldn't handle this scene.

Liu Jiaqi said, "It was fine when I showered yesterday."

Bang, bang, bang.

The door suddenly knocked.

Qin Nuo gestured for Liu Jiaqi to be quiet, then grabbed the Bone-Crushing Hammer and went to open the door.

Outside stood a woman in white, her hair reaching her waist and covering her face, resembling Sadako.

"3697?"

A cold, emotionless voice came from behind the hair.

"It's me, what's up?" Although he sensed no malice, Qin Nuo still gripped the Bone-Crushing Hammer tightly.

The woman in white handed Qin Nuo a box.

Opening it, he found clean living supplies inside.

"I've fixed the water problem," the woman in white said.

Qin Nuo realized that the tangled hair in the bathroom was hers. What was this female ghost's role?

Dorm manager?

A kind-hearted young lady?

Qin Nuo looked at the woman in white with curiosity.

The woman in white didn't speak, instead glancing at the badge on Qin Nuo's chest.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Qin Nuo roughly understood.

An excellent employee reward, ordered by Pinocchio.

"Don't open the door at night."

With that, the woman in white left.

"Qin Nuo, what does she... do?" Liu Jiaqi asked quietly from the bathroom.

"Bringing warmth," Qin Nuo replied, handing the box to Liu Jiaqi. He then took out a towel and shampoo, pulled her out, and started scrubbing her in the bathroom.

The faucet soon returned to normal. After two days in the spirit world, Qin Nuo finally enjoyed a comfortable shower.

"Facial cleanser, face mask, body wash, and bath towel! Oh my gosh!!"

After Qin Nuo finished showering, Liu Jiaqi was still rummaging through the box, thrilled as if she had found a treasure.

In this environment, these items were indeed treasures for a cleanliness-loving girl, more important than life-saving food.

"You take your time, I'm going to sleep."

"Remember, don't open the door randomly again. I don't want to be groped by a mysterious hand in the middle of the night!"

With that, Qin Nuo fell asleep.

Liu Jiaqi nodded sheepishly, then grabbed some bath products and dashed into the bathroom.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, Qin Nuo and Liu Jiaqi arrived at the restaurant early.

Pinocchio sat on the puppet stand, waiting for them.

"Today, employee 3699's position remains as a server, with a task of delivering 7 orders to meet the standard."

"Employee 3697, today's position is an intern chef. You must personally cook two dishes requested by the guests and achieve at least an average rating to complete the task!"

Chef?

Qin Nuo was taken aback.

Liu Jiaqi's eyes widened.

Qin Nuo's expression turned grim. Was this targeting him?

Just yesterday, they gave him an excellent employee badge!

The mortality rate for chefs was undoubtedly higher than for servers. Suddenly asking Qin Nuo to cook two dishes, both without negative reviews, was more than just pressure—it was bullying!

Pinocchio didn't care what Qin Nuo thought, simply saying, "The reward is substantial!"

With that, he left.

"Qin Nuo," Liu Jiaqi looked at Qin Nuo with concern.

Qin Nuo remained calm, "It's just cooking, I'm quite good at it."

"Don't worry about me, focus on your own task."

After Liu Jiaqi left, Qin Nuo followed the instructions to the storage room and changed from his employee uniform into a chef's outfit.

It fit quite well, though it was as dirty as ever.

"You have been assigned to Table 2. Please proceed to Table 2 and prepare the dishes as requested by the guest!"

Without much thought, Qin Nuo got up and left the room.

When he reached the restaurant and saw the guest at Table 2, Qin Nuo's face instantly fell.

At Table 2, a little girl in a rose-patterned dress was sucking on a lollipop, swinging her lace-socked legs in boredom.

Wasn't she the Half-Ghost girl from yesterday!

Remembering how she crushed the chef just because the dish was too sweet, cold sweat broke out on Qin Nuo's forehead.

Could he be this unlucky?

"Human, why are you staring at me?" The little girl tilted her head, staring at Qin Nuo.

Qin Nuo calmed himself, "I'm the chef preparing your meal today."

"Oh, so you're brave, a human cooking for me. Did you see what happened to the chef yesterday?" The little girl rested her chin on her hands, smiling mischievously at Qin Nuo.

Qin Nuo was embarrassed. He wanted to say he was very brave, but seeing the girl's innocent smile, he suppressed the urge to joke.

"This is my menu, can you make it?"

Qin Nuo took it and glanced at it. It was a caramel tea with milk, a very ordinary afternoon tea.

However, Qin Nuo couldn't figure out why the chef yesterday failed with this dish.

Something wasn't right, definitely not right.

Qin Nuo looked up, staring at the little girl, and activated the Eye of Analysis.

"Eye of Analysis: When I was little, my mom made me a caramel tea with milk. My mischievous sister secretly cut her hair and sprinkled it on the tea. After drinking it, my stomach felt like it was pierced by countless needles, and I was in pain all night."

"But later, I found myself liking this pain. This perverse hobby made me secretly cut my hair and sprinkle it on the tea every time. The excruciating pain made me toss and turn in bed, but it also satisfied a certain psychological thrill."

"After my mom disappeared, the only thing I remembered of her was the caramel tea with milk."

Goodness, drinking tea with milk and adding hair!

Qin Nuo wasn't well-read, but he knew what it felt like to swallow hair fragments.

This little girl looked pure and innocent, yet she had such a perverse hobby!

The chef probably never figured out that this simple tea wasn't about tasting good, but about causing her pain!

He died unjustly.

"Do I look good, big brother?" The little girl suddenly smiled.

Qin Nuo's expression changed slightly, "Wait a moment."

Leaving the restaurant, he quickly headed to the kitchen.

The chefs were already busy, none of them paying attention to Qin Nuo, each focused on their own dishes, with various exotic ingredients being brought to the counter.

Finding tea with milk in the kitchen was relatively easy.

Making tea with milk didn't require much skill, just mixing the ingredients and heating or chilling them.

When it was almost ready, Qin Nuo cut a lock of his own bangs, chopped it finely, and mixed it into the tea.

A nearby chef, witnessing his inhumane action, looked at him in shock, "Human, are you serious?"

Qin Nuo ignored him, plated the dish, and carried it out.

In the restaurant, many guests were watching the little girl's table.

After all, yesterday's scene was still fresh in their minds!

Liu Jiaqi was also watching, silently praying for Qin Nuo.

The dish was soon served, and seeing it was a human, many guests showed excited smiles.

Unlike yesterday, their favorite was the sight of human blood splattering in the restaurant.

The fresh scent of blood could whet their appetites.

"Please enjoy your meal," Qin Nuo gestured for her to enjoy.

The little girl crouched on the chair, curiously examining the tea like a kitten, and commented.

"Your dish looks worse than yesterday's!"

Qin Nuo remained calm, "Appearance isn't everything, you'll know once you taste it."

The little girl tilted her head, looking at Qin Nuo with some surprise, "You're quite confident."

With that, she popped the lollipop out of her cherry lips and took a sip from the porcelain bowl.

Instantly, the entire restaurant fell silent.

It seemed all the guests were waiting for the little girl's verdict.

Some were excited, others anxious...
