Chapter 30: Chapter 30: A Tri-fold Phone Connecting Reality and the Ghost World?

The room was absolutely enormous, so vast that she couldn’t see the end of it.

She felt like a country bumpkin visiting the big city for the first time.

Yun Zhenyue curiously pulled Lin Jiu into the room.

Looking around, she saw it all.

This single room was probably bigger than the entire restaurant lobby!

The living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the nearby dungeons, while a luxurious crystal chandelier cast specks of light on the floor like scattered diamonds.

Yun Zhenyue drew in a sharp breath.

Her fingertips cautiously traced the texture of the genuine leather sofa, which felt like silk that had been soaked in ice water. On the table, a glass of champagne was beaded with fine droplets of condensation.

A moment later, they were in the bathroom.

They saw steam rising from a black onyx bathtub.

The fragrant molecules of rose essential oil diffused through the warm, swirling mist.

In addition to that,

there was a gym, a spa room, a study...

Yun Zhenyue felt as if she had entered a small palace.

She was completely dazzled.

’Even the toilet is a smart toilet?’

’If you didn’t tell me this was the Ghost World, I would have thought it was a five-star hotel in the real world!’

"This room is so nice!"

"I’ve never stayed in such a luxurious place before."

Yun Zhenyue’s eyes sparkled with joy as she exclaimed to Lin Jiu again and again.

Lin Jiu was just as shocked.

Although she had been a waitress at the Blood Moon Restaurant for a year, she had never had the chance to enter this room.

Not even the manager had the authority to use this presidential suite!

She had heard it was reserved for the restaurant’s owner.

It was only thanks to her connection with Yun Zhenyue that she had the chance to see it for herself.

Before meeting Yun Zhenyue,

Lin Jiu’s attitude had been—’What haven’t I seen?’

After meeting her,

Lin Jiu’s attitude was—’I’ve really never seen anything like this!’

Fine dining, exquisite wine, and a luxury suite!

Yun Zhenyue had treated her to an extravagant experience!

Lin Jiu not only felt a sense of envy and gratitude toward Yun Zhenyue,

but also a faint feeling of inadequacy.

She shook her head, suppressing the complicated emotions.

When she heard Yun Zhenyue call her over to look at the huge bathtub,

Lin Jiu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and hurried over.

...

Seeing this scene,

the audiences from other countries were consumed with jealousy!

Why did their countries’ female players have to live in storage rooms,

while Yun Zhenyue got to stay in a presidential suite?

Floor-to-ceiling windows and a spa room, no less.

’You call this the Ghost World?’

’Why not just say she’s here on vacation?’

[Are they insane? Giving a human such a nice room?]

[Well, her husband is the manager. And what was with all those property deeds?]

[Hmph. It’s just this one dungeon.]

[Just wait for the next mission. It’ll be our countries’ chosen partners’ time to shine.]

[Yeah! I refuse to believe that pile of property deeds is real!]

[I hope this mission ends soon. I don’t want to watch anymore.]

...

After a short while, Yun Zhenyue finished exploring the entire suite.

She sat down on the sofa and took out the phone the ghost foreman had given her.

’Does it really have a signal?’

Yun Zhenyue wondered, holding the phone curiously.

The phone’s body had no brand logo, and it felt like the scales of some cold-blooded animal.

When Yun Zhenyue’s fingertip gently touched the screen,

it immediately lit up with a faint red glow!

Before Yun Zhenyue could react,

DING!

A text message automatically appeared.

"New user detected. You have been automatically bound to this ghost phone!"

"Without permission, no other user will be able to unlock it!"

When the phone automatically unlocked,

Yun Zhenyue was surprised to find that the phone could actually be unfolded, revealing a total of three screens!

’Whoa!’

’It’s a tri-fold?’

’Are phones in the Ghost World this high-tech?’

An advertising slogan suddenly popped into Yun Zhenyue’s head.

’Tri-fold: stylish from every angle!’

’If you sold this phone in the real world, it would probably go for over ten thousand, right?’

Especially with the automatic user-binding feature.

For people with high-security needs, it was particularly thoughtful.

Yun Zhenyue opened the contacts function and, sure enough, it was completely blank.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration.

She realized she could try calling Gu Yuan.

’But will he be able to receive the call?’

On a whim, Yun Zhenyue dialed her own phone number.

Her useless old phone was sitting in a cabinet.

BEEP BEEP BEEP...

Three seconds later,

the call went through!

Gu Yuan’s familiar voice came from the other end!

Yun Zhenyue’s eyes filled with surprise and delight. She had missed Gu Yuan terribly after not seeing him for a day.

"Honey?"

"Can you hear me?"

she asked, holding the phone to her mouth.

"I can hear you, honey. Why are you calling me?"

Gu Yuan chuckled on the other end of the line.

"Did someone from the Blood Moon Restaurant give you that phone?"

"Yeah," Yun Zhenyue said, her eyes lighting up. "They were so nice to me. They helped me out, treated me to dinner, and even lent me this phone."

"That’s good."

"I made the phone you’re holding. You can make calls and send videos with it freely," Gu Yuan said casually.

He had once killed a ghost that was an expert in electronics, absorbed its abilities, and made many phones to give to his subordinates for easy communication.

This phone was one he had left at the Blood Moon Restaurant. It could change its shape according to the user’s will.

Without affecting its functions, it could transform into a ledger, a book, or even a mirror.

"Really? Honey, you’re amazing!" Yun Zhenyue said, shocked.

The two of them chatted casually for a while.

For the most part, Yun Zhenyue shared everything she had seen and heard that day.

Gu Yuan just listened with a smile, agreeing with her.

Standing at the other end of the sofa, Lin Jiu’s eyes were filled with envy.

She hadn’t seen her family in a very long time.

’This phone can actually make calls. It must be a Ghost Artifact, and a high-level one at that!’

What shocked her, however, was that Yun Zhenyue was already married?

Because she had entered the Ghost World quite some time ago, Lin Jiu didn’t know about the whole ghost-marriage affair.

"Okay, okay, honey, I got it. I still haven’t seen that cat of yours. I’ll ask Li about it later."

Finally,

after chatting for nearly half an hour,

Yun Zhenyue reluctantly hung up the phone.

Looking at the screen, she realized the battery was still full.

’This phone doesn’t use any battery?’

Turning her head, Yun Zhenyue saw Lin Jiu looking dazed.

An idea came to her, and she suggested, "Senior, would you like to call your family?"

...

Hearing this,

the audiences from other countries finally had a chance to mock Yun Zhenyue.

[LMAO, call her family? They’re not even in the same world.]

[Does she really think that phone is so amazing it can make calls across worlds?]

[If that call actually goes through, that phone has to be a Dark Red Ghost Artifact at a minimum!]

[Dark Red? I’m thinking even Blood Red might not be enough!]

[What a gullible airhead. She believes whatever Gu Yuan says.]

...

At that moment, when Lin Jiu heard Yun Zhenyue’s kind offer,

she shook her head and said, "My family is in the real world. I can’t contact them."

"Just try it first, Senior. Maybe this phone can do it."

"Well..."

Lin Jiu couldn’t refuse the enthusiastic Yun Zhenyue.

She gave a wry smile, not holding out any hope.

After Yun Zhenyue unlocked the phone for her, she dialed a familiar number.

BEEP BEEP BEEP...

The heart-pounding sound of the phone ringing echoed.

No one picked up.

’That makes sense.’

’We’re not even in the same world.’

’It would be strange if the call actually went through.’

A bitter smile touched Lin Jiu’s lips.

Just as she was about to hand the phone back to Yun Zhenyue,

"Hello?"

A voice, both familiar and distant, suddenly came through.

When she heard that voice,

Lin Jiu’s heart seemed to stop for a second!

Her pupils constricted, and her calm expression was replaced with shock and utter disbelief!

’The call... it actually connected?’

’Just who in the world is Yun Zhenyue’s husband?!!’
