"What the hell kind of situation is this…?"
Lin Yu struggled to keep his breathing steady while his mind raced at full speed, desperately trying to think of a way out of the predicament he was in.
But—
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with any method that would let him escape his current situation.
Who could've imagined—
That he would end up sleeping in the same coffin as the Blood Clan Queen?
And not just that—
They were lying in an intimate, couple-like position, with him being held like a stuffed toy in her arms.
It made Lin Yu feel utterly hopeless.
Humiliated.
Truly, deeply humiliated!
At this moment, deep down inside, Lin Yu had only one thought.
When he first entered the Vampire Castle dungeon, he had longed desperately for the arrival of the safety period.
After all, safety time meant absolute safety—freedom to search for items without fear.
But now?!
At this very moment, Lin Yu was actually praying for the safety period to end as soon as possible—
Just so he could escape this ridiculous situation.
Because—
Once the safety period ended, it meant the Blood Clan Queen might leave the coffin.
And once she left, he could finally be free again.
While Lin Yu was thinking this—
He suddenly felt the arm wrapped around his neck tighten slightly, pulling him even closer to the Blood Clan Queen.
"…This is bad."
"Don't tell me she's attracted to my looks and wants to take advantage of me?!"
The moment that thought crossed his mind, Lin Yu's expression stiffened.
If circumstances allowed, he would've resisted no matter what!
...
[Tsk tsk tsk, gotta say—Lin Yu's luck with women is unreal.]
[Seriously. This kind of opportunity isn't something just anyone gets!]
[Being pressed up against a vampire like this—just imagining it is exciting!]
[So here's the real question: if Lin Yu and the Blood Clan Queen had a kid, would it be human or vampire?]
[Damn it, your topics are getting more and more unhinged. As a pure soul, I can't keep reading this.]
[I think it could switch forms—human during the day, vampire at night.]
[Good grief, your imaginations are getting wilder by the second… but for some reason, Lin Yu and the Blood Clan Queen actually look pretty harmonious right now.]
[Could it be that the Blood Clan Queen is a face-con too? Lin Yu is handsome so he lives—Wang Gang was ugly so he died?]
...
In the livestream, seeing Lin Yu's utterly hopeless expression, the viewers burst into laughter again.
After all—
The Vampire Castle dungeon had an extremely high death rate.
To this day, not a single player had cleared it.
The only silver lining was that the dungeon appeared very rarely.
Out of ten thousand players, you might not even encounter it once.
And yet Lin Yu's first-ever newbie dungeon was Vampire Castle.
Whether that meant his luck was good or bad… no one could really say.
But before entering the livestream, no one could've imagined they'd witness something like this—
A player and the Blood Clan Queen coexisting peacefully, sleeping together inside a coffin, in this kind of position.
It was honestly worth the price of admission.
...
[Attention, all players! The safety period has ended!]
[Attention, all players! The safety period has ended!]
[Attention, all players! The safety period has ended!]
The system notification rang out three times in a row.
Lin Yu, who had been wearing a depressed expression, finally let out a long breath of relief.
Because this meant—
He could finally escape the Blood Clan Queen's "unwanted affection."
And just as he expected—
When the safety period ended, the Blood Clan Queen seemed to wake up.
She loosened her grip on him, pushed open the coffin lid, and climbed out.
Before leaving, she even carefully restored the coffin to its original state.
"She's finally gone…"
Listening to her footsteps gradually fade away, Lin Yu's expression finally returned to normal.
He was free again.
The moment that realization hit him, excitement surged through his chest.
However—
That smile didn't last even ten seconds.
Because—
He heard footsteps again.
The coffin was opened once more.
The Blood Clan Queen reappeared—and placed something inside.
[Pink Teddy Bear Doll (Side Quest Item)]
[Quality: White]
[Can be taken out of dungeon: No]
[Note: One of the Blood Clan Queen's favorite toys. Handle with care. If damaged, you will suffer the Blood Clan Queen's wrath.]
...
Lin Yu's mouth twitched.
She had just tossed a side quest item into the coffin?
Before he could recover from the shock—
The Blood Clan Queen placed several more items inside, then closed the coffin again.
[White Bunny Doll (Side Quest Item)]
[Quality: White]
[Can be taken out of dungeon: No]
[Note: One of the Blood Clan Queen's favorite toys. Handle with care. If damaged, you will suffer the Blood Clan Queen's wrath.]
[Yellow Duck Doll (Side Quest Item)]
[Quality: White]
[Can be taken out of dungeon: No]
[Note: One of the Blood Clan Queen's favorite toys. Handle with care. If damaged, you will suffer the Blood Clan Queen's wrath.]
...
[Congratulations, Player Lin Yu!]
[You have successfully completed a side quest!]
As the system notification sounded, the three side quest items in Lin Yu's hands vanished.
He stared blankly, utterly dumbfounded.
The last two side quest items he'd found earlier had led directly to Wang Gang and Li Hai ambushing him.
In the end, he'd been forced to destroy those items just to pull off a "borrowed knife" kill.
But this time—
He hadn't done anything.
And yet he had somehow completed a side quest?
[Holy shit—Lin Yu actually completed the Vampire Castle side quest?!]
[Who just said Lin Yu's luck was bad? Come out here right now!]
[Looking at the entire Horror Game, as a newbie player, Lin Yu's dungeon experience is insane.]
[Damn it, just sleeping with the Blood Clan Queen gives you rewards like this? I could do that too!]
[Upstairs, wash your face and go to sleep. Ever heard how Wang Gang ended up?!]
[The Vampire Castle side quest reward should be purple quality, right?]
[Even though no one's ever completed it before, a lot of players have analyzed it—it should definitely be purple quality.]
...
When the Blood Clan Queen first placed the doll inside the coffin, the livestream viewers didn't think much of it.
They assumed she was just dumping broken toys.
But when Lin Yu completed the side quest—
The entire livestream froze.
A player actually completing the Vampire Castle side quest?
And doing it without lifting a finger?
After the shock faded, the chat filled with envy.
Side quest rewards were notoriously generous.
Especially in a dungeon like Vampire Castle—
The reward might very well be a purple-quality item.
And Lin Yu was a newbie, getting a chance at purple gear in his very first dungeon.
The jealousy was unreal.
In Horror Game, item strength was determined by quality:
White → Green → Blue → Purple …
White was the weakest.
And according to rumors, the highest-quality item ever seen was orange.
Though whether that was true or just hearsay—no one knew.
Just as the livestream chat was heatedly discussing what quality reward Lin Yu would receive—
The Blood Clan Queen returned to the coffin yet again.
And placed even more items inside.
