Where there are people, there is evil.

Cross out.

It means where there are people, there is business.

When business develops to a certain extent, capital will be incubated.

As a wicked capitalist young lady, Shinomiya Kaguya is well aware of how powerful capital can be.

So, is it possible to become a capitalist in a horror game?

There is indeed a possibility of operation.

First of all, the number of players in each instance seems to be very large. So many players, it would be too wasteful not to Exploit them.

Shinomiya Kaguya has received an elite capitalist education since childhood. The people in the world are divided into two types: those who can be exploited, and those who are useless waste.

Since Wraiths can be exploited, why not exploit players?

Going into danger alone and painstakingly doing quests is the most foolish choice. A true capitalist should control and integrate everyone, utilizing all players to conquer the game.

I, Shinomiya Kaguya, want to be a capitalist in a horror game!

Of course, this is a long-term goal, to be pursued gradually and developed slowly.

For now, let's set a small goal, like earning a hundred million first.

"Bang bang."

A light knock on the door sounded.

Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head and said, "Please come in."

The first customer officially arrived.

"Excuse me."

A girl who looked like a high school student pushed the door open and walked in. This horror game didn't seem to recruit Elementary schooler and National Middle School students, and no elderly people had been seen either.

"I'm Seino..." The girl briefly introduced herself, timidly looking at the Wraith milk cow next to Amamiya Natsuki, and whispered, "Can I really exchange for food with you?"

"Yes." Shinomiya Kaguya nodded slightly, "You've heard about the exchange rules, right?"

"I've already heard." The girl nodded quickly, then took out an item from her pocket, "Please give me a cup of milk."

Capitalists usually start as small merchants.

The rules for exchanging food are very simple.

One Blind Box item for one cup of milk, fair price, no cheating.

Although the items that come out of the Blind Box are random, even things like instant noodles and mineral water, they might come in handy in special circumstances.

Standing for too long was tiring, so Amamiya Natsuki was now sitting on the hospital bed, with the Cow Lady Spirit sitting next to him, shoulder to shoulder, looking quite intimate.

Out of boredom, Amamiya Natsuki curiously looked at the item.

[Item: Blood-stained Eraser]

[Usage: Erase]

[Type: Consumable]

[Effect: Guaranteed to erase one wrong answer on a test paper. This item has few remaining uses, please use with caution.]

[Remarks: A genius student collapsed on the exam floor, spitting blood, and reached for the desk with a blood-stained hand, 'Help me up, I need to delete my browsing history on my phone...' Unfortunately, he only grabbed an eraser.]

"Um, can this eraser be exchanged for food?"

The girl asked timidly.

A blood-stained eraser seemed like a useless item, and the girl was worried if she could exchange it for food.

"No problem." Shinomiya Kaguya took the eraser, her eyes shifting, "Natsuki-kun, I'll leave it to you."

No matter what it was, even if it was just a pack of tissues, Shinomiya Kaguya would exchange it.

Currently, the most important thing was to build a reputation.

Anyway, milk was something that could be obtained by feeding two handfuls of leeks, a sure-fire business.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "Leave it to me."

"Wait, wait." The Cow Lady Spirit, who had just relaxed, felt something was wrong. She looked sideways at Amamiya Natsuki, "Humans, what do you want to do?"

"Of course, we're doing business." Amamiya Natsuki said as a matter of course, "Others trade items, we provide food, that's normal, right?"

The Cow Lady Spirit gnashed her teeth: "I mean, what do you want to do to me?!"

"Please don't ask such simple questions." Amamiya Natsuki sighed and turned his head, "Fujiwara, come here and feed the leeks."

"Coming!"

"..."

The Cow Lady Spirit felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, trembling with anger... well, she couldn't tremble now.

Shameless!

What shameless humans these were!

Playing with her was one thing, but they weren't satisfied and even treated her as a money-making machine... How could humans be so dark!

A moment later.

A cup of milk appeared out of thin air.

"Thank you."

The girl repeatedly thanked them with a face full of surprise, quickly drank the milk, and then, under the blood-red gaze of the Wraith, timidly said goodbye and left.

Other players began to enter the sickroom one after another, trading with Shinomiya Kaguya, and a lot of random Blind Box items were received in a short time.

For example, an improper marker pen.

[Item: Proper Marker Pen]

[Introduction: This pen has been used by someone to write tally marks for years, and it has gained special power. Hold it and you can write a tally mark in one stroke.]

Note: How many strokes does a character have? If you practice enough, you can write it in one stroke.

Besides this, there were also strange red strings, with both parties tying them to their fingers. If one person moved their finger, the other person's finger would follow.

A special master key that could open anything except locks.

Traveling Frog, a consumable item. You send a frog out on a trip, and it will send you back local specialties, most likely insects.

Hilichurl Mask: When worn while sick, strange songs will echo in your ears: "Big Hilichurl is sick, Little Hilichurl sees, Third Hilichurl gathers herbs, Fourth Hilichurl boils…" In short, all kinds of items were available.

The transactions continued, and both parties were very satisfied. Only Miss Wraith was teary-eyed, desperately eating chives.

"I feel like we're being a bit too much," Fujiwara Chika whispered.

Fujiwara had always been kind-hearted, and seeing the teary-eyed Wraith, who looked like she was about to break, she also felt sympathy.

"It is a bit much," Amamiya Natsuki nodded and quickly thought of a solution. "Here, go tear a strip of cloth from the bedsheet."

"Eh?" Fujiwara Chika was puzzled. "What do you need a cloth strip for?"

"We're going to blindfold Miss Wraith," Amamiya Natsuki said seriously. "I saw a news report on Twitter earlier about a farmer who put VR glasses on his dairy cows, simulating a pasture under a blue sky and white clouds, and the cows' milk production increased by twenty percent."

Seeing the Cow Lady Spirit glare at him, Amamiya Natsuki said sincerely, "We don't have VR glasses right now, so we can only use a cloth strip instead. You'll have to make do and imagine a roasted meat feast in your mind."

More tears welled up in the Cow Lady Spirit's eyes. She swallowed the chives in her mouth and said with a trembling voice, "You can't do this. You can't bully a Wraith like this…"

At the same time.

Another player timidly stepped forward. She was a newbie who had only participated in one game. The items she had obtained were already used up, and now she was empty-handed, hoping for food.

"Sorry, no."

Shinomiya Kaguya coldly refused.

Merchants are not philanthropists, nor are they saints.

If they gave milk just because someone asked, what would the other players who exchanged items for food think?

"However, you can exchange for food in other ways," Shinomiya Kaguya said, changing the subject as she looked at the dejected, desperate girl. "Information you've collected, anomalies you've noticed, or completing our small requests can all be exchanged for food."

There was no doubt that reputation was also a form of power.

To become a capitalist in a horror game, secretly developing was definitely not an option. Now, they needed to build their reputation.

"Information…" The girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "I know some information related to reality. Can I exchange it for food?"

"Yes, please don't deceive us with false information. The consequences are severe."

"It's true," the girl said excitedly. "I met an old lady before, and she told me that most Wraiths in reality are humans who died, but there are exceptions. Some people with strong obsessions and kind hearts won't become evil spirits after death, but rather exist as white guardian spirits or similar beings."
