After witnessing the gruesome fate of the previous player, the next player was visibly shaken.
Handing over the tray, he spoke nervously, "Ward 202, North District."
Fortunately, the Multi-Faced Ghost didn't make things difficult, scooping out a pile of liquid food and slapping it onto the tray.
Then, with a sinister smile, it asked, "Do you want some Rainbow Candy too?"
The player, not caring whether lunch was sufficient or not, shook his head frantically and ran off with the tray.
"Next!"
Only two remained in line.
Qin Nuo and the blond man ahead of him.
"What do you plan to do?" the Blood-Eyed Ghost asked.
Qin Nuo replied, "Is this ghost strong?"
"Horror Level, a bit tricky," the Blood-Eyed Ghost answered.
"Let's see how it goes. If it doesn't work out, we'll abandon this instance task," Qin Nuo said.
The blond man stepped forward, placed the tray at the window, and said, "Ward 203, South District."
The Multi-Faced Ghost thought for a moment, seemingly having no impression of the patient in that ward, and evenly distributed lunch onto the tray.
"My patient needs Rainbow Candy too," the blond man adjusted his glasses and said.
"Oh, you want Rainbow Candy too, do you have anything to trade?"
Although the Multi-Faced Ghost said this, countless eyes were fixed on the blond man's body, full of greed.
It was as if it was eyeing a chicken or duck on a chopping board, contemplating which piece to cut off!
Thud!
A heart was thrown onto the table!
And it was full of vitality, still beating strongly.
"This is my trade item," the blond man said calmly.
The Multi-Faced Ghost was a bit surprised, grabbing the heart with one hand and stuffing it into its body.
Then, the faces on its body all showed satisfied expressions.
"Not bad, a good thing!"
Clatter!
Rainbow Candy scattered onto the tray.
The blond man picked one up, placed it in his mouth, and chewed lightly, saying, "Too little, that heart isn't worth this price."
The Multi-Faced Ghost sneered, "Rat, you have no right to negotiate prices!"

The blond man remained calm, but immediately, his left cheek began to rapidly decay and decompose at a visible speed, and a flash of blood light shot out from his hollow left eye socket.
"Guess how I got that heart?" he said casually, making the Multi-Faced Ghost suddenly realize something.
The ghostly faces, when looking at the blond man again, suddenly showed a look of fear.
"Clatter!"
More Rainbow Candy continued to scatter onto the tray, even more than before!
The Multi-Faced Ghost said nothing, but its attitude was clear.
It was intimidated.
"Thank you."
The blond man smiled slightly, picked up the tray, and left. As he reached the door, he glanced at Qin Nuo before leaving.
"Half-Ghost, and not contracted with a simple ghost!" the Blood-Eyed Ghost said.
"Horror Level?" Qin Nuo asked.
"Not sure, but not far off," the Blood-Eyed Ghost replied.
Emperor.
That was the blond man's game ID, Qin Nuo had just noticed.
The name was quite bold, suggesting his strength must be impressive.
Otherwise, without some strength, having such a name would easily get him beaten up!
"But why did he glance at me when he left?"
"Next!!"
The Multi-Faced Ghost's angry shout interrupted Qin Nuo's thoughts.
Having been humiliated like that, it was obviously very upset, full of pent-up anger.
Naturally, this anger would be directed at the next orderly!
Qin Nuo was speechless.
Just standing in line, and trouble comes from nowhere!
He stepped forward, placed the tray at the window, and said, "Ward 301, West District."
As soon as he finished speaking, a glob of sticky liquid food was slapped onto the tray, and the Multi-Faced Ghost shouted violently, "Get lost!"
Qin Nuo didn't move, calmly saying, "I have five patients."
The Blood-Eyed Ghost, knowing what was about to happen, excitedly said, "Time for a fight, plenty of Meat of Taisui!"
The Multi-Faced Ghost seemed insulted, turning its sneering face towards him, and said grimly, "You want to imitate the last guy and scare me?"
"Rat, if you're brave enough, give it a try!"
Qin Nuo smiled, "Misunderstanding, I meant my patients also need Rainbow Candy."
"And then, I have a few trade items that I'm sure you'll be satisfied with!"
"Let's see them!" Upon hearing about trade items, the Multi-Faced Ghost's fierce faces softened a bit.
Qin Nuo raised his right hand.
A few nails fell onto the table.
"Nails made from rat bones?"
The Multi-Faced Ghost immediately recognized the material of the nails, examined them, then spat disdainfully, "Worthless junk, take it away!"
Qin Nuo explained, "This thing's value can only be proven when used."
"How to use it?" the Multi-Faced Ghost asked instinctively.
Qin Nuo didn't respond. The next second, he suddenly grabbed a nail, and with his other hand, swung the Bone-Crushing Hammer he had prepared for a long time.
Bang!!
The hammer hit the nail, shooting out a black arc of electricity.
In a flash, the bone nail shot into the Multi-Faced Ghost's body like a bullet.
In an instant, the entire tumor-like body of the Multi-Faced Ghost wriggled madly, and the nine ghostly faces on it twisted in agony.
A piercing scream echoed in the hall!
"Do you feel its value now?" Qin Nuo asked with a smile.
"You want to die!!"
The Multi-Faced Ghost went berserk, crashing through the window and walls, and those terrifying ghost hands reached for Qin Nuo.
"Demon's Eye: Received Rage Meter from Multi-Faced Ghost +100, rewarded Ghost Power +120!"
Qin Nuo swung his right hand, corpse spots appearing on his arm, and punched the Multi-Faced Ghost back to its original spot.
The bone nail frantically corroded inside, and one of the Multi-Faced Ghost's faces melted away, then it spat out a heart.
The heart rolled on the ground, quickly decaying into a pile of rotten flesh as if life had been drained from it.
"So, is it valuable now?" Qin Nuo continued to ask.
The remaining faces of the Multi-Faced Ghost were still fierce, with undiminished killing intent and anger.
Without waiting for it to speak, Qin Nuo very straightforwardly rewarded it with another bone nail using the Bone-Crushing Hammer.
The terrifying torment made the Multi-Faced Ghost's voice hoarse, and the angry, sneering ghost faces quickly melted away.
Then, two more hearts were spat out!
Looking at the Multi-Faced Ghost again, it was already weak and dispirited, with no fierceness left.
"Seems like you have many lives, huh?"
"Let's see how many nails you can take?"
Saying this, Qin Nuo picked up the Bone-Crushing Hammer again, at this moment, looking like a demon in the eyes of the Multi-Faced Ghost.
The remaining faces of the Multi-Faced Ghost were so frightened that their souls seemed to leave them, desperately begging for mercy, "No! I can't take it anymore, only a few lives left, stop playing!"
"You gave up so easily, I thought you'd hold out a bit longer!"
The Multi-Faced Ghost was both ashamed and angry, but mostly terrified, shrinking into a corner, not daring to make a sound.
It was wary of the blond man.
But Qin Nuo, it was truly afraid of. After just a few words, he suddenly used nails to stab the ghost, an unexpected move that left it bewildered!
"Big brother, can you take the nails out first? I'm going to die!" the Multi-Faced Ghost pleaded.
"Depends on how you behave."
The Multi-Faced Ghost, enduring the severe pain, spat out a pile of Rainbow Candy, packed it in a jar, and said tremblingly, "Is this enough?"
Qin Nuo said, "Your liquid food is too disgusting, my patients can't eat it, change to something else."
The Multi-Faced Ghost hesitated, "This is arranged by the Nun, all patients eat this!"
Qin Nuo squinted and smiled, "Now follow my arrangement."
The Multi-Faced Ghost hesitated for a moment, took out a few sticks of sandalwood, placed them on the tray, and said with heartache, "These are my treasured reserves."
"Much appreciated." Qin Nuo put away the sticks of sandalwood.
Ghosts have peculiar tastes.
Some like to eat humans, some like human food, but sandalwood and red candles are generally liked by all, even considered treasures!
Qin Nuo looked at the fused Bone-Crushing Hammer, no, now it should be called the Bone-Splitting Hammer, the name after advancing a level.
"This fusion material is even more powerful than I thought, what level is the Bone-Splitting Hammer now?"
"Half-step Horror Level," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said, also a bit wary.
The Bone-Splitting Hammer also had a black arc of electricity, such an enchanting effect could be considered quite terrifying!
After putting away the Bone-Splitting Hammer, Qin Nuo beckoned with his right hand, retrieving the two bone nails, picked up the tray, "Service was not bad, keep it up next time!"
With that, he walked away with the tray.
The Multi-Faced Ghost shrank into the corner.
Not knowing whether to feel relieved or angry.
That sorrowful ghost face began to wail...
