After Ghost Heard My Inner Thoughts in Survival Game

By sheer accident, Jian Yue found himself bound to a deadly infinite survival game, as a live-streaming host!! While other top-tier streamers awakened flashy, godlike powers, Jian Yue’s ability turned out to be…. *GOSSIP* The audience: “Pfft HAHAHA! What kind of useless ability is this? RIP, streamer!” Rumor had it that Sadako, the vengeful spirit, killed without ever spilling blood. Betrayed by her lover and mu*dered in rage, she now hated all of mankind and was about to unleash a massacre. Everyone thought the players were doomed when suddenly.. Ding! Gossip Skill Activated: 【Breaking News! This S-class spirit’s lover isn’t dead at all! he ran off with another woman!】 Jian Yue: “???” The ghost, mid-kill: “???” The live-stream chat: “WHAT THE HELL DID WE JUST HEAR?!” — Next dungeon: a cursed gothic castle. The Duke and Duchess corner Jian Yue, their intentions mu*derous. Just as his fate seemed sealed Gossip Skill: 【Hot scoop! The Duke has been cheating on his wife… with the maid!】 The Duke and Duchess lock eyes. The tension skyrockets. The live-stream chat: “Wait wait wait……. Is this… a free soap opera? Without pay-per-view?!” But before the drama can peak….. Gossip Skill again: 【Breaking update! The maid is actually a cross-dressing dude!】 Jian Yue: “…” What kind of kinky drama are you monsters running here?! The audience: “HAHAHAHA! This melon is too juicy! Popcorn, peanuts, sunflower seeds, we’re stocked! But wait, who does the maid actually like??” — As the survival game spiraled into ever more bizarre scenarios, Jian Yue’s popularity skyrocketed. While other players fought tooth and nail, bleeding and crawling their way to survival, Jian Yue just stood there, eating melons and spilling tea. The monsters themselves supplied enough drama to keep the audience glued to the screen. Time after time, his ridiculous Gossip Skill saved his life… until one day, in the deadliest dungeon yet, when it suddenly triggered again…. 【Rumor has it! The terrifying Ghost King has fallen in love with… a mere human player!】 Jian Yue: “???” The mu*derous ghost stopped mid-lunge, exchanged whispers with his comrades instead: 【The King’s in love… with that human?】 【Yeah, yeah! Word is they’ve already slept together countless times!】 Jian Yue, who only wanted snacks: “…??!!” After the ghosts dispersed, Jian Yue turned to the man beside him, forcing a shaky laugh: “Haha… So, uh… I overheard them saying you’re in love. That’s fake, right? You’re gonna deny it, right?” The man’s dark eyes glimmered red. Jian Yue braced for denial…. Instead, the man leaned closer and murmured: “…Or it could be true.” Jian Yue: “…” Smile, gone. JPEG
