CFSMS -Chapter 247 Werewolf Game — Everyone Is a Ghost

He used to keep a cold face just to scare people away, hoping no one would come near him.

But this time, before leaving, he had promised his father and mother that he would smile at anyone who approached him.

So he did exactly that.

As for the consequences…

The man’s face turned increasingly pale as he rubbed the goosebumps rising on his arms.

“No, the master said this time the young master was sent out to treat his condition. He must try harder to interact with others.”

“Young master, please persevere.”

The man’s expression collapsed instantly. Just thinking about having to get close to other people made his vision darken and his head spin—and then… he knew nothing more.

“Not good! The young master fainted!”

“Quick, pinch his philtrum!”

After leaving the chaos behind, Lu Wu knew nothing of what had happened. The first thing she did was rush into the shops and buy a few “One Realm Connect” devices.

She set one up immediately, and kept the rest as backups.

The moment she got online, she browsed long-missed forums, feeling completely refreshed and satisfied.

“System, let’s talk. In the future, don’t send me to places without internet.”

The system gave no response to her increasingly unreasonable demands.

Lu Wu pouted and checked her messages, only to discover that Qin Zhan and the others had almost flooded her inbox.

“Boss Lu, are you okay? Can you still contact us?”

“Boss Lu, can you still send your location? We’ll come find you.”

These messages were still normal enough, but the ones below were something else entirely.

“Boss Lu, has our relationship become so distant that you go out to set up stalls without even telling us?”

“Just say it—what delicious thing are you selling this time that we’re not allowed to see?”

“No way, Boss Lu, you really didn’t reply to a single message? Fine, we won’t eat it—just give us the address, we’ll help you!”

“…Wait, they didn’t fall for it.”

“Alright, I was wrong. Boss Lu, at least save some good food for us.”

“I’m starving, I want food…”

……

Lu Wu was furious. Were these people really worried about her safety—or just worried they’d miss out on food?

She counted them: out of over a hundred messages from these “tools,” only a few were actually about her well-being. The rest were all about investigating food.

Outrageous.

Block them. Block them all.

Fortunately, the singing and dancing handsome men and beautiful women on “One Realm Connect” quickly healed her emotional damage.

Ignoring the flashing tipping prompts, she swiped to the next video.

So many beauties—why would she stop for just one?

She, after all, was a woman destined to embrace an entire forest.

After finding an inn, Lu Wu locked herself in her room and binge-watched “One Realm Connect” for two full days without stepping outside.

Only after making up for seven days of withdrawal did she finally put the device down and prepare to reconnect with nature.

“Boss Lu, you’re back and didn’t even tell us. We were worried about you.”

This was a message from Qin Zhan.

Heh. Lies.

“Boss Lu, my master would like to invite you to a gathering.”

An excuse. All excuses.

After unblocking them, Lu Wu realized these “tools” were already on their way.

She had been in West Province for a while, but hadn’t really explored it yet.

As for those people—let them chase her if they could.

Compared to South Province, West Province had a more primitive landscape, and its markets contained things not found in the south.

Lu Wu, who loved cooking, found plenty of interesting ingredients here.

For example, a chili pepper rumored to be the “number one in the world,” with a bizarre five-colored-black appearance.

It looked extremely convincing.

She didn’t stay long in any place, especially since teleportation arrays between cities were very convenient.

Meanwhile, the “tools” chasing her were suffering.

But what finally broke this game of chase-and-run was the system.

A new mission arrived.

[Mission: Sell 1,111 servings of insects within seven days.]
[Designated location: Divine Physician Hall]
[Designated time: Shen hour to You hour (3 PM–7 PM)]

The timing was decent—afternoon to evening.

As for whether insects could be eaten, Lu Wu thought yes. In some places on Earth, insects were considered delicacies.

But after flipping through the recipe book, she started to doubt herself.

On Earth, edible insects were small due to environmental limits—but in the Qingyuan Realm, rich spiritual energy meant insects were anything but small.

Looking at a recipe showing a fist-sized, ferocious-looking grasshopper with menacing horns, Lu Wu felt this was going to be a psychological test for customers.

It looked… quite unsettling.

The mission would begin the next day, so there was no time to waste—she had to return to the South Province.

“Boss Lu, wait for us!”

On the teleportation platform, after Lu Wu paid her spirit stones and selected her destination, she suddenly heard a loud shout from Lou Xiaotian.

She looked up.

In the distance, several “tools” were sprinting toward her.

Their anxious expressions made Lu Wu feel their sincerity.

Fine. She would forgive them this time.

“Goodbye.”

She waved with a smile as her body was engulfed in teleportation light.

Off she went.

Thud!

Lou Xiaotian fell to the ground. Ahead—nothing but empty space.

“Sir, you don’t need to perform such a grand bow before using the teleportation array,” the guard kindly reminded him.

“…I know,” he replied, brushing dust off his face as he stood up stiffly.

During these days, they had been chasing Lu Wu nonstop. Just when they were about to catch up, she always left a little earlier and slipped away again.

“Who keeps tipping Boss Lu off this time?” he muttered unhappily.

He suspected there was a traitor among them, but no one admitted it.

Of course, he himself was definitely not the traitor.

He glanced at his “One Realm Connect” and suddenly grinned.

Boss Lu had promised him a stick of cotton candy in exchange for information.

How could that be called betrayal? That was just personal benefit.

“Boss Lu has returned to South Province,” Jiang Yunhe said, looking at Lu Wu’s profile page.

Her location was visible—South Province again.

That single line immediately shifted everyone’s attention.

He quietly let out a breath.

Close call. Almost exposed.

But for one stick of cotton candy… worth it.

“Really? Wuwuwu, has Boss Lu finally remembered her family at the South Province lakeside?”

“Stop shouting. Let’s head back too,” Qin Zhan decided.

He needed to go collect his cotton candy—it sounded delicious.

They all stepped onto the teleportation array, seemingly eager to return home, though each had their own hidden thoughts.

Driven by cotton candy, these “tools” had clearly evolved.

Even something as simple as octopus balls had learned how to disguise themselves.

Food truly makes people grow.

The legend of the one and only cotton candy… here they come!
