"No, I don’t want it!" Seeing Su Xuan, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly sit up from the workbench and pull out his own heart to offer her, Yu Yu’s face turned deathly pale. Her voice cracked in terror. "Why don’t you want it?" Su Xuan asked, holding the heart. "Don’t you like me anymore?" He stepped down from the workbench and began to walk toward Yu Yu, one step at a time. The lights continued to flicker eerily, bathing the scene in an unspeakably horrifying glow. "I don’t like you anymore! I don’t like you one bit!" Yu Yu shrieked, shutting her eyes tightly. "Get away from me! Stay away!" Her entire body was shaking violently. Her mental state had completely collapsed! "I’m a courier," Su Xuan murmured, trying to press the heart into her hand. He was uttering a bizarrely romantic line. "Consider this a special delivery. It’s a package I can only deliver once in my lifetime!" The moment her hand touched the prop heart, Yu Yu let out a bloodcurdling scream. Her body convulsed, her eyes rolled back into her head, and she fainted dead away. In that same instant, the invisible wall she had built around her heart shattered. Compared to Su Xuan, who had literally offered her his heart, her own feelings felt paltry and insignificant. They didn’t even deserve to be called ’love’ anymore. "Uh..." Looking at the unconscious Yu Yu, Su Xuan grimaced sheepishly and turned to the others. "Did we take that a bit too far?" "I feel like we’re just getting started!" "Yeah, I haven’t had enough fun yet!" "This kind of story-driven game is amazing!" "I want to play again!" Niu Dalei and the siblings all looked as if they hadn’t had their fill of fun. Even Alice, who had been lying on the floor, stood up, looking like she wanted more. Then, everyone started removing their "disguises." Niu Dalei took off his scarred-face mask; Alice pulled a bag of fake blood from under her clothes; Su Xuan peeled off the silicone prop torso he was wearing. The fake torso contained not only a heart but also pig kidneys and even pig intestines. If he had laid it all out, it would have been enough for a full spread of appetizers to go with drinks. "A game?" Yu Antai stammered as he watched the scene unfold, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably. "This was all a damn game? You... you people..." He had no time to be angry, though. The moment Niu Dalei untied him, he rushed to his family, shaking his daughter and then his wife. "Wake up! Wake up!" It wasn’t just his daughter, Yu Yu; his wife had also fainted at the sight of Su Xuan’s apparent resurrection. He pinched his daughter’s philtrum and slapped his wife’s face, taking several frantic minutes to rouse them both. The moment they woke up, they clung to him, sobbing. "It’s okay, don’t be afraid," Yu Antai said, holding his wife and daughter, constantly reassuring them. "It was just a game. They were... just playing a prank on us!" "Congratulations, everyone, on completing the Zombie Panic Game!" a voice announced. "The award ceremony will now commence!" Just then, the two staff members who had been playing extras appeared, holding trophies, certificates, and other souvenirs. Niu Dalei proudly took on the role of presenter and began distributing the awards. "Alice’s performance was incredibly authentic! She wins the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress!" Niu Dalei declared, handing a trophy to Alice. She glanced at the trophy in her hand and gave a small, amused smile. "You two little ones also did great, earning the Best Supporting Actor and Outstanding Supporting Actress awards, respectively!" Niu Dalei announced, handing trophies to the siblings, who beamed with joy. "President Yu, your acting was absolutely sublime! The Best Actor award is all yours!" Niu Dalei boomed, stuffing a large golden trophy into Yu Antai’s hands. Sublime... Best Actor... Yu Antai stared at the trophy, an indescribable expression on his face. He bloody well deserved this award! He’d thought all of it was real and had been acting for his life! His pants were still wet, for crying out loud! He had been saving his strength to blow up at them. Playing a game was fine, but damn it, they could have given him a heads-up! They’d nearly scared him to death! But now, with this ridiculously informal award ceremony underway, he felt too embarrassed to lose his temper. Besides, who knew if there were hidden cameras still recording everything? "Mrs. Yu, you’ve won the Best Supporting Actress award!" Niu Dalei also presented a trophy to Ma Lanfang, praising her lavishly. "Your performance deeply moved us and filled us with hope for married life. If it weren’t for someone else being even better, the Best Actress award would have surely been yours!" The still-shaken Ma Lanfang stared at the trophy Niu Dalei placed before her, her mouth twitching. She couldn’t say a single word. "And Miss Yu Yu, you were the soul of this game! Your acting was meticulous, raw, and utterly convincing. The Best Actress award belongs to you!" Niu Dalei proclaimed, pushing the grandest trophy into Yu Yu’s small hands. Yu Yu’s gaze was distant. She didn’t even look at the trophy, her eyes fixed on the fake heart lying on the ground, lost in thought. "As for Brother Su..." Niu Dalei finally turned to Su Xuan. "You basically did nothing but lie on a workbench, so you get the Best Extra Award." He pushed a tiny, almost insulting, little trophy into Su Xuan’s hands. Su Xuan just shrugged and accepted it, which made the siblings and Alice burst out laughing. But at that exact moment, a series of notifications rang in Su Xuan’s mind. "Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing a super delivery!" "Ding! Reward: 29% share of Fei Lian Airlines, making you the second-largest shareholder!" Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 "Ding! Stage one mission progress: 10/10." This took Su Xuan completely by surprise. He hadn’t delivered any packages, had he? How did he complete a super delivery? After pondering for a few seconds, it dawned on him. When he was trying to give the heart to Yu Yu and she refused, he had impulsively said he was delivering it to her like a special package... And that actually counted?! What a pleasant surprise! A huge windfall! He knew of Fei Lian Airlines. It was a famous private airline in Huaxia with a market value in the hundreds of billions. With a 29% stake, combined with his existing assets, he had instantly become a tycoon with a net worth in the tens of billions. A bright light shone in Su Xuan’s eyes. Awesome! So satisfying! But what was the next stage of the mission? Why hadn’t the system prompted him? Did it need more time to prepare? Afterward, everyone returned to the wooden cabin, each lost in their own emotions. "This is unacceptable!" Yu Antai fumed after pacing anxiously in the room for a few minutes. "I feel like our whole family was made fools of! I demand an explanation! That Lu Dachun kid hasn’t dared to show his face this whole time! He must be behind this! The sheer audacity!" He was about to storm out the door to find Lu Dachun. Just as he pushed the door open, his daughter Yu Yu suddenly called out to him. When he saw what was in her hands, he was utterly dumbfounded...
