Liu Jiaqi was startled and asked shakily, "Qin Nuo, what happened to your right hand?"

"It's a long story. I'll explain it to you when I get the chance," Qin Nuo replied.

Liu Jiaqi nodded, staring at Qin Nuo's hand, instinctively shrinking her neck back, feeling as if the hand was staring back at her, sending shivers down her spine.

The night passed without further conversation.

The next morning, Qin Nuo arrived at the restaurant.

Inside, the other employees were astonished to see him.

After the last incident, wasn't this human supposed to be banished from the restaurant? How was he still here, alive and well?

Soon, Pinocchio arrived.

He gathered all the employees in the main hall.

"Employee 3697, for successfully bringing back Ingredient No. 8, not only redeemed himself but also solved a major problem for the restaurant, making a significant contribution."

"So, here are the rewards the restaurant is presenting to Employee 3697!"

"Reward one: Weekly selection as the most outstanding employee, with a newcomer red envelope!"

"Reward two: Early termination of the seven-day probation period, promotion to restaurant supervisor, responsible for managing the West Gate area!"

"Reward three: Special restaurant pass, allowing the bearer to enter any public area of the restaurant unconditionally!"

"Reward four: A Horror Level ghost creature!"

The announcement caused a stir among the crowd.

Four rewards!!

What shocked them even more was that a human had received them!

In past examples of restaurant outings, this was extremely rare!

Many ghosts were green with envy.

This human had only been here for a few days and had already secured a supervisor position!

"Ingredient No. 8, the one that's been out of stock, how did he manage to bring it back from the Specter Supermarket?" An employee asked in shock, having previously been sent to buy Ingredient No. 8 and suffered a lot without success.

Pinocchio placed a box in front of Qin Nuo and looked up at the other employees, "The rest of you, return to your posts and prepare to open for business!"

Amidst the noise, the employees dispersed.

Qin Nuo stopped Pinocchio, who was about to leave, "So what do I do today?"

"Head to the West Gate to complete the position handover."

"Manage the order at the West Gate, supervise employees to complete their tasks, and the rest of the time is your free time," Pinocchio said.

"The daily wage is double what it was before!"

This treatment was quite appealing!

After Pinocchio left, Liu Jiaqi finally dared to approach and happily said to Qin Nuo, "Supervisor, does that mean you can manage those ghosts now? That's amazing!"

"It's only for two days. The day after tomorrow, we'll complete this set of tasks and can go back," Qin Nuo said.

"You didn't mention it, and I almost forgot. Just two days left, and soon I can go back to see my mom and dad. I'm so happy!" The thought of being able to return home alive and reunite with her family filled Liu Jiaqi with motivation.

"I'm off to work. You should hurry to the West Gate too."

After Liu Jiaqi left, Qin Nuo didn't rush to the West Gate but instead opened the box.

Inside were four items.

A large red envelope with gold trim.

A set of restaurant supervisor attire.

A black, eerie pass.

And a pitch-black, blood-stained stone.

"A stone? A ghost creature?"

Qin Nuo was taken aback.

A mere stone was considered a Horror Level ghost creature?

Ghost creatures are classified as: Dangerous, Frightening, Horror, Catastrophe, Destruction, and Oblivion.

Horror Level should be quite a formidable ghost creature.

On Earth, Qin Nuo had heard on the news about those top players completing tasks and bringing back Horror Level ghost creatures, reportedly worth billions!

This poorly presented stone being rated as Horror Level felt a bit devalued.

But that was just talk.

The moment Qin Nuo picked up the stone, he clearly felt a terrifying Ghost Aura.

Even the Blood-Eyed Ghost in his right hand couldn't help but open an eye and said, "Not a bad ghost creature."

Qin Nuo blinked and activated the Eye of Analysis.

"Eye of Analysis: Ghost Creature—Grave Ghost Stone!"

"On the mass grave, it witnessed a brutal war. The enemy fought until they ran out of ammunition, and to eliminate all future threats, it used a stone to smash the heads of defenseless enemies, finally throwing them into a valley filled with corpses, burying them under a pile of bodies..."

"This stone actually claimed 107 lives?" Qin Nuo was shocked.

Ghost creatures tainted with death become more terrifying the heavier the aura.

This mass grave stone was a treasure!

Qin Nuo placed the Grave Ghost Stone into the toolbar, changed into the supervisor's restaurant attire, and tidied up his appearance in the mirror.

Even though he was promoted, he still had to work diligently; otherwise, if that ruthless Pinocchio caught him slacking, it would be troublesome.

West Gate.

The restaurant had officially opened for business.

Employees were busy with their tasks.

"You two filthy rats, what are you dawdling for? If you keep the guests waiting and it affects me, I'll eat you both!" the ghost chef shouted angrily while cooking, seeing the two latecomer waiters.

Liu Xing and Zhang Yu hurriedly picked up the dishes and rushed out.

Once they left, both sighed in relief, wiping cold sweat off their brows.

"I can't take it anymore. If this continues, I'm going to lose my mind!" Liu Xing said, clutching his head, nearly breaking down.

"Just two more days, hang in there. At least we're still alive, unlike Yu Xiaoyang and the others..." Zhang Yu shook his head.

Originally, there were five of them assigned to the West Gate, but after five days, the other three met unfortunate ends, losing their lives due to poor service reviews.

The two of them, although still alive, were on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

"I heard we have a new supervisor at the West Gate, and they're taking over today," Zhang Yu said.

"Oh heavens, if only the supervisor was easygoing, but now they've changed. They're pushing us to our limits!" Liu Xing exclaimed in despair.

"Stop complaining and get the dishes served. There's not much time left."

The two of them picked up the dishes, and as they turned around, they saw someone approaching from a distance.

They were stunned, then exclaimed, "Qin Nuo?"

Seeing a classmate, Qin Nuo wasn't surprised. With so many classmates, they were bound to be assigned to various areas.

"You're not being transferred to our West Gate, are you?" Zhang Yu asked in shock.

"Sigh, the guests at the West Gate are very picky. Being transferred here isn't a good thing," Liu Xing said, shaking his head.

"But, since we're classmates, we'll look out for you. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask us."

"After all, surviving until now hasn't been easy for you, right?"

Their relationship with Qin Nuo wasn't particularly close, but in this world, seeing another human brought an inexplicable sense of camaraderie.

Qin Nuo finally spoke, "I am being transferred here, but not as a waiter."

"Not a waiter, then a chef?"

"Chef doesn't seem likely, maybe a greeter," Zhang Yu suggested.

"Not that either."

"Then what?" they asked, puzzled.

"Your time is running out, get the dishes served, and you'll find out later."

With that, Qin Nuo headed towards the kitchen.

They wanted to ask more, but seeing the limited time left, they had to put it aside and quickly carried the dishes to the hall.
