Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

At this moment, the Dragon Country audience was a little uneasy.

[What the hell is with this matchmaking system? We’re more than halfway through the pairings, and they pull a Great Evil?]

[Uh, the partner from Kangaroo Country also seems to be a Great Evil...]

[This Mr. Tuo is so flamboyant.]

[Did that broad just become a ghost like that?]

[This is going to be tough. Gu Yuan didn’t get a reward this time, even though he lent out an Abyssal Organ.]

[Seriously, man, it’s just working on an assembly line. Does it have to be so gloomy and sinister? That vixen is just like a villain.]

...

Meanwhile, the audience from the Saint Country was overjoyed.

[This pairing is great! Mr. Tuo is so much stronger than the last one, the Crimson-robed Ghost!]

[Heaven bless our Saint Country! We truly are protected by God!]

[Once Mr. Tuo takes control of this factory and Maya becomes an executive, our Saint Country will finally have the strength to challenge Dragon Country.]

[That pathetic Dragon Country only has a few minor instances. How can that compare to a true SSS-rank instance?]

There were now five participants left.

And unbelievably, three of their supernatural partners were Great Evils!

Both the Great Cold Country and the Sun Country couldn’t take the pressure.

The former had always opposed Dragon Country.

The latter wanted to suck up to Dragon Country.

But neither in reality nor through Yamada Aiko had they ever truly succeeded.

[Miss Sumi, why don’t you find a chance to kill that Minotaur? Maybe you’ll get paired with a stronger partner.]

[Sigh... what is our dear Aiko going to do?]

...

「A short while later.」

All the participants chose to teleport and start the mission.

Even though they had only just returned.

But the pairing missions waited for no one.

With the exception of Yun Zhenyue,

the others all dragged their weary bodies along.

The last mission had been the same, with no time to rest at all.

Their hearts were filled with complaints.

In addition, several of them had received bloodline rewards.

But because their completion rate on the last mission was low, the bloodlines they were given were also poor.

They came with a ton of side effects.

With the exception of Maya, who chose the fox ghost bloodline,

the rest had all chosen only to strengthen their own bodies rather than become ghosts themselves.

And for that very reason,

neither Han Sumei nor Yamada Aiko had asked for a gift.

This was against the rules!

At this moment, Han Sumei and Yamada Aiko were both at a loss.

They had no idea what awaited them.

BUZZ!

As the white light before them dissipated, a unique smell instantly assaulted their nostrils.

The air was thick with a complex mixture of machine oil and blood, so pungent it made their throats tighten.

They now found themselves in an abandoned workshop inside the factory.

Damaged machinery stood in silent rows, conveyor belts were caked in dust with broken straps dangling by a few fibers, and cardboard boxes stacked in the corners had long since grown moldy, with a viscous liquid seeping from the cracks to spread slowly across the floor.

The women’s first impression of the Purgatory Factory was terrible.

Even Maya, who had mentally prepared herself, couldn’t help but pinch her nose.

Just then, Han Sumei suddenly noticed the two tails behind Maya.

Her gaze immediately sharpened.

"Hm?"

"You accepted a ghost’s bloodline?"

Maya turned her head at the question, looked at Han Sumei, and nodded. "Yes. Is there a problem?"

"..."

Han Sumei fell silent for a moment.

’I can’t believe someone would actually choose to become a ghost. Not only are there a ton of side effects, like needing to absorb yin energy, but you’re also cut off from humanity. What happens when you go back to the real world? What will people think? Will you become a "monster" in everyone’s eyes? It means choosing the present and giving up the future. It’s giving up everything about being "human."’

"Forget it. As long as you’re happy. I hope you don’t regret it."

Han Sumei subconsciously took half a step back, putting some distance between herself and Maya.

"Heh."

Maya’s expression was one of disdain.

She had already done the calculations.

The value she could gain by becoming a ghost far exceeded what she would get by remaining as she was.

Besides, she now had a Great Evil backing her.

The day she returned to the real world would be the day she skyrocketed to success.

’Who would dare say a single bad word about me then?’

Yun Zhenyue also witnessed this exchange.

’Dragon Country doesn’t care about things like bloodlines.’

She didn’t think it was a big deal.

’It’s a personal choice. There’s no right or wrong.’

Just as the women were observing their surroundings,

the sound of heavy footsteps approached from nearby.

A man in dark blue work overalls walked toward them. Four neatly arranged stars were pinned to his chest, his cuffs were stained with a trace of machine oil, and his leather shoes, dotted with metal shavings, made a CLACKING sound as they trod across the floor.

"I’m a section chief at the Purgatory Factory. You all..."

"Are you the new employees?"

The Ghost Section Chief stared at the group and asked with a frown.

’This is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone come to the factory voluntarily.’ The ghosts usually dragged into the Purgatory Factory were either terrified and hopeless or trying to escape immediately. Very few were as calm as these women, looking around curiously.

"Yes, Sir Section Chief! It’s a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of us."

Han Sumei was the first to answer.

A fawning smile spread across her face.

"No need to get chummy. It’s pointless," the Ghost Section Chief said coldly. "Since you came voluntarily, your treatment won’t be the same as those consumables."

"First, I’ll explain the factory’s system so you don’t break any rules."

Soon, the women had a basic understanding of the Purgatory Factory.

The Purgatory Factory had a clearly defined hierarchy with a strict order of ranks.

The ranks were Technician, Line Leader, Group Leader, Section Chief, Deputy Manager, Manager, Department Head, Deputy General Manager, General Manager, and President.

It was fine if new employees couldn’t remember all these titles.

To signify rank and prevent low-level employees from offending their superiors,

these positions corresponded to a 1 to 10 star rating.

Everyone wore their stars in the most conspicuous place.

stars and above were mid-level management.

stars and above were upper management.

Having just entered the factory, they were all 1-star, bottom-tier employees.

And this Ghost Section Chief was a 4-star.

Each star level came with different benefits and treatment.

To raise one’s star level, one needed to accumulate a certain amount of work hours.

If one wanted to be promoted quickly,

one could also choose to complete certain special missions from the factory.

The women all got the gist of it.

But this promotion system was a bit daunting.

Their mission was to raise their position’s star level as much as possible!

If they just dutifully worked on the assembly line, they would probably never get promoted in their entire lives!

The key lay in those special missions!

"This factory is a little weird."

Yamada Aiko tried to strike up a conversation with Yun Zhenyue.

"It’s like a combination of an organization and a factory."

"Mm."

Yun Zhenyue merely gave a simple response.

Seeing the women’s alarmed expressions, the Ghost Section Chief’s face remained utterly devoid of emotion, like a screw in a precision instrument.

"Now, I will assign you to your workshops."

"If any of you have special talents, you can tell me now."

Maya raised her hand.

Then, oozing with charm, she slowly walked toward him.

"What is it? You can speak freely," the Ghost Section Chief said with a frown.

Just then, Maya flashed a smile, exuding a bewitching charm. A faint, peculiar scent slowly wafted into the Ghost Section Chief’s nose.

"Sir..."

"I don’t have any special talents, and I don’t want to work on the assembly line. I... want to follow you. May I?"

Under the shocked gazes of the others,

Maya slowly wrapped her arms around the Ghost Section Chief’s arm.

She even used her tails to gently tickle the back of his neck.

"..."

The Ghost Section Chief hesitated.
