"I suspect the players are involved in a pyramid scheme."
"Did Huang Shang really fall for that?"
"Don't believe that scumbags will change; their true nature never changes!"
Lin Xun opened the Taskbar.
Currently, besides the Main Quest, he had two tasks.
One was a career task, and the other was a Side Quest.
Which one should he tackle first?
Lin Xun said to Hua Tian, "Use your skills to help me find clues for the career task."
Hua Tian looked puzzled. "Aren't you going to do the Main Quest?"
"Xie Tengfei is searching for the Task Item. As we progress, completing Side Quests becomes increasingly difficult aside from the Main Quest. He has to handle the Main Quest himself, so it makes sense to focus on other characters first."
Hua Tian nodded in agreement.
【Career Task: Find Sender (Career Task Completion Rate 10%)】
【Use Skill: Clarification】
【Clue Hint: Who frequently delivers messages at the Brothel?】
Lin Xun immediately arrived at the Servants' Quarters. The entrance to the Servants' Quarters was next to the basement on the first floor. Lin Xun and Hua Tian stood at the door of the Servants' Quarters.
From the basement next door, a series of faint whimpering sounds could be heard, sending chills down their spines. Lin Xun felt no curiosity and had no desire to investigate what was happening there.
He knocked on the door of the Servants' Quarters.
With a creak, the door opened.
A Male Ghost, rotting and dressed in a Servant Outfit, stood in the doorway.
"So this is how it works..."
Lin Xun murmured to himself.
When these Ghost Servants gathered together, they were simply referred to as Ghost Servants.
But once they separated, each had its own name.
This particular Ghost Servant was called Old One. While the newcomers laughed, who would hear Old One's cries?
Without using Hua Tian's skills, Lin Xun would have spent a long time trying to uncover the root of the issue.
"Ula, guaji guaji guaji?"
Due to their decayed throats, the Ghost Servants' speech was mostly incomprehensible.
Fortunately, they did not exhibit any overt aggression.
Through the decaying body of this Ghost Servant, Lin Xun could even see several others preparing tea in the room.
On the table lay several exquisite small pastries.
The door to the Servants' Quarters was quite small, and the Ghost Servants felt that their bodies could block it entirely.
However, they overlooked the fact that their decayed bodies were translucent.
Lin Xun cleared his throat softly, pretending not to notice.
Everyone is just trying to make a living; it's not easy for anyone.
He took out the small note that he had once placed in the Tea Bowl and showed it to the Ghost Servants.
After glancing at the note, the Ghost Servants pulled out four love letters and handed them to Lin Xun.
[Professional Task: Find the Sender (Career Task Completion Rate: 30%)]
[Congratulations, you have found a Key Clue: Four Love Letters]
[Gained Career Skill Points: 2]
Lin Xun opened the Skill Mall.
He bought another Surprise Box.
[What will the player draw this time? The brothel owner's pants?]
[Players really are stubborn; they don’t have the luck of a true gambler but act like they do.]
[Typical Gambler's Mentality! While others panic, you go crazy; while others suffer small losses, you sell your house. Isn’t it better to save up and buy skills?]
[Aren't you tired of losing your funds?]
"This player is such a dog, both annoying and despicable, and loves to gamble on luck. Do you think you're the main character?"
"I don't believe it; it can't be pants!"
Lin Xun pressed down on the Surprise Box with the Question Mark.
The Question Mark flickered.
A dazzling array of colors flashed before him.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple.
Finally, the Question Mark turned golden.
Hmm?
Golden Legend?
Several Ghost Servants passed through the door and caught sight of the shimmering golden light at the crack of the door.
They opened the door slightly and saw that the Surprise Box in Lin Xun's hand was gradually transforming into a long, rectangular object...
...
Xie Tengfei was no stranger to this Game.
This time, the profession he obtained was that of a wealthy merchant.
The wealthy merchant profession is the rarest S-Class Profession.
It offers both offensive and defensive capabilities.
If he completes the professional tasks, the advanced skills he gains could even allow him to command ghosts and monsters.
The saying "money can make the devil push a millstone" truly applies here.
At this moment, he was dispatching his team members to search in other locations.
As for himself, he was in an empty room, taking out all the Task Items from his space.
The Task Item Indicator, priced at 30,000 Points, might just be a mere hint for others.
But for him, it was an essential tool for acquiring Points.
His professional skill is Recycling Ghost.
He can convert Task Items into Points in the shop.
After clicking on the trading skill: [Recycle Broken Peach Wood Sword gains 5,000 Points]
[Recycle Broken Pixiu Statue gains 6,000 Points]
Xie Tengfei was astonished. "The value of a Liu Bei's Recycling Ghost is actually this high?"
A prompt appeared: "It is not recommended for players to recycle the Recycling Ghost Red Veil. Is the System forcing the recycling of the Recycling Ghost? YES/NO?"
After pondering for a moment, Xie Tengfei clicked NO.
Since it was a System prompt, it must have some other purpose.
After retracting the Red Veil into his space, Xie Tengfei opened his Points Mall.
Points: 300,300
It was only the second day of the Game, and logically speaking, he shouldn't have accumulated such a high amount of Points.
This wasn't his first time playing this Game.
However, it wasn't exactly as he had told others; this was not his second time playing the Game.
This was his third time playing it.
In the previous two instances, he had eliminated all other players and became the sole victor of the Game.
This time would certainly be no different.
"How boring... To be invincible is such a loneliness, to be invincible is such emptiness..."
Xie Tengfei softly hummed a tune.
He scrolled to the last page of the shop.
On the final page, hidden away, was the only item in this game capable of slaying demons.
The item was concealed in appearance, but it seemed to take on a long, slender shape.
"Golden Staff?"
"Demon-Slaying Staff?"
" Tiger-Subduing Staff?"
Xie Tengfei speculated as he clicked the purchase button.
In an instant, three hundred thousand Points transformed into three hundred.
A golden light gradually gathered in Xie Tengfei's hand.
He was nearly blinded by the golden radiance; its heavy and warm sensation brought him comfort. Strangely, however, a sweet aroma of grains wafted through the air.
A few seconds later, the golden light vanished.
Xie Tengfei also opened his eyes.
The weapon that should have been in his palm, a tool for slaying demons, had disappeared without a trace.
"Where did it go? How could it be gone?"
He abruptly flung open the door and rushed outside...
His frantic demeanor resembled that of the Oiran Ghost at that moment...
...
A beam of golden light gathered in Lin Xun's hand.
It gradually took the shape of a staff.
"Golden Staff?"
"Demon-Slaying Staff?"
" Tiger-Subduing Staff?"
Lin Xun excitedly speculated about the weapon he was about to acquire.
A stick-like object, perfectly suited for him!
Lin Xun did not possess the grandiose spirit of a hero fighting for the country and its people, making a sword unsuitable for him.
He lacked the fierce aura of a blade that could chop and cleave, rendering a knife inappropriate as well.
However, he was adept at ambushes, and a blunt weapon, that stick-like tool, was the best choice for him.
Finally, as the golden light faded, the item appeared under the gaze of countless eyes and the anticipation of millions.
A freshly baked Baguette materialized in Lin Xun's palm.
【Name: Demon-Bane Staff】
【Note: Among all martial arts, speed is unbeatable; among all items, the stick is the hardest.
This is a hard enough Baguette to crush a Head. Whether it’s the head of a Gui Wu or a human, it stands invincible before it.
When hungry, it can also serve as food—of course, if your teeth are strong enough.】
【Would you like to bind the Demon-Bane Staff? YES/NO】
