Chapter 12: Spending Money, New Mission


“Alright! The registration is complete!”

In front of an old computer, the person responsible for registration handed the key back to Lin Feng and said, “Thank you!”

Lin Feng took the key and was ready to go back to the villa to rest.

“Wow, Lin Bro, you’re amazing!”

Just as Lin Feng turned around, a chubby guy who used to be in his class came over and exaggeratedly started to flatter Lin Feng.

“Lin Bro, you are our idol.”

A few of the chubby guy’s followers also started to flatter Lin Feng.

In the crowd around them, people were still looking at Lin Feng in amazement. Some young girls, seeing how awesome Lin Feng was and how handsome he looked, had stars in their eyes.

…………….

As a transmigrator, Lin Feng naturally wouldn’t be swayed by a few flattering words. He ignored the chubby guy and quickly left the crowd; he needed to buy some daily necessities.

After Lin Feng left, the crowd erupted into intense discussion.

“Really? One person managed to secure a villa? Impossible, right?”

“Yeah, I heard from the building guard that since the villa was made available to motivate newcomers ten years ago, no one has succeeded. Currently, no one living in the villa area is under 20!”

“…..” “…..”

Some of the new students, after hearing this, expressed disbelief.

After all, just awakening a ghost spirit and securing the villa area…this was indeed a bit scary!

However, Lin Feng had already completed the registration, and the result of this test was soon announced. Although it didn’t mention Lin Feng’s name, it did state that someone had secured a villa, which was enough to confirm the truth.

As a result, the later arriving students were all astonished.

Soon, Lin Feng’s name spread among the more than three hundred new ghost masters!

……………..

The outer city of Liucheng was not small. However, apart from the villa area, most of the residents in this area were newly emerged ghost masters in recent years.

The street where the bus passed earlier was where daily necessities could be purchased.

From here to that street, there was occasionally an old bus passing by.

Lin Feng waited for a while, and the bus arrived.

He got on.

On the bus, there were some people, as well as some ghosts.

These people must have lived in the outer city for a long time. Among them were ordinary people and some who were clearly ghost masters.

They seemed to have long been accustomed to riding the same bus with ghosts, and no one was in the mood to talk to others.

Lin Feng used his identity card to scan for a fare of one yuan, then found a seat and sat down.

……………..

The bus started, and after a dozen minutes, the bustling street appeared in front of him.

Lin Feng went in and started buying daily necessities.

The supplies in this world’s base city were relatively scarce, and prices were relatively high. A good quilt cost over a thousand, and towels were also expensive.

Fortunately, after passing the test, Lin Feng received 100 contribution points, which could be converted into ten thousand yuan.

So, Lin Feng spent nearly fifty contribution points, bought a lot of stuff, and had the merchants deliver it to the villa.

After shopping, Lin Feng took the bus back to the villa.

At this time, the more than three hundred students arrived one after another and also started shopping on this street.

These students initially received less than 100 contribution points. If they got a townhouse, they only received 60 points. If it was an old house, they only got 40 points.

……………..

Soon, Lin Feng returned to the villa. The cleaning lady had almost finished cleaning, so Lin Feng asked her to wash the bed sheets and then hang them up to dry.

Tonight, he could make do with what he used in the dormitory, but those were from single beds and quite small, making them look shabby here.

After the cleaning lady finished and left, it was almost evening.

The problem of eating was easy to solve. In the outer city, everything had to be bought with money. On his way back, Lin Feng saw many restaurants, some of which offered delivery. So, Lin Feng ordered some delivery to solve his meal problem.

After eating, Lin Feng sat in the living room, took out the communicator integrated with his identity card, and started reading new messages.

“Must clear scattered ghosts outside the city within 3 days?”

Lin Feng whispered.

Now, he and the other more than three hundred students were officially ghost masters. However, having just come out of school, the base city still provided a series of guidance, but it was much freer than being in school, and time was relatively flexible.

However, correspondingly, they needed to handle everything themselves.

For example, if the contribution points were used up and there were no new points…then they’d have to go hungry!

So, the base city issued some time-limited tasks to these students. For example, this task of clearing scattered ghosts allowed students to practice and also earn some contribution points.

……………..

Lin Feng glanced at this task and skipped it; this task posed no challenge to him.

Although the outer city of the base city was full of ghosts, these ghosts were harmless, being “benevolent spirits” or at least neutral. To gain more experience and help Tongtong grow, he needed to encounter stronger ghosts.

Outside the base city, it was truly a world of ghosts. Although Tongtong was at the dangerous level, it was not invincible. Lin Feng wouldn’t blindly rush out.

Therefore, he could find ghosts for Tongtong to deal with through some tasks issued by the base city.

This coincided with the system’s tasks, earning both experience and contribution points.

……………..

There were quite a few such tasks on the communicator.

Through these tasks, Lin Feng gained a significant understanding of the structure of the base city.

The space inside the base city was actually limited.

Outside the base city, a lot of living space had been expanded, and there were several lines of defense. Within these lines were some grain towns specialized in producing food, and some large factories were also placed between these defense lines.

For example, cement factories and iron smelting plants.

These lines of defense mainly guarded against large-scale ghost tides. On the outermost defense line, there were many powerful ghost masters stationed.

However, the area to defend was so large that some ghosts would occasionally break through the defense lines, and their numbers were considerable.

The ghost masters on the outer defense lines couldn’t leave, so these ghosts needed to be dealt with by the ghost masters inside the base city.

……………..

The base city issued time-limited tasks to more than three hundred new students, just to clear some daily, ordinary-level ghosts in the innermost defense line, allowing these students to practice.

When ghost spirits kill other ghosts, they can absorb the ghost energy from those ghosts and grow to a certain extent.

For instance, after Tongtong killed the out-of-control ghost spirit, in addition to the system’s rewards, it also gained ghost energy.

However, the shadow in the villa had no ghost energy, probably because it had been neutered.

Of course, it couldn’t be as fast, powerful, and safe as the experience given by the system.

Because the ghost energy from other ghosts often contains resentment or other negative elements, which can easily affect the ghost spirit. If these negative elements accumulate too much…the bond will keep dropping, and the ghost spirit might deteriorate or even go out of control!

……………..

Lin Feng scanned through the tasks issued by the Liucheng base city. Tasks too far from the base city couldn’t be solved. For example, a “terror-level” ghost had just appeared in an iron smelting plant, with special abilities, killing many people. Solving it could earn two thousand contribution points.

“The ghosts outside the city haven’t been neutered. I’ll deal with the dangerous-level ones first.”

Lin Feng thought.

Soon, he found a suitable task.

A water ghost appeared in a reservoir outside the city. This water ghost was just at the dangerous level.

However, Lin Feng was too slow, and the task had already been taken by another ghost master, so he had to look again.

Soon, Lin Feng found another one and directly took the task this time.

This task was to go to Grain Town No. 2 to investigate the abnormal reduction of grain in a storage warehouse. According to the people there, a “danger-level” starving ghost appeared and was stealing the grain.

“Ghosts eat grain?”

Lin Feng whispered.

Solving this starving ghost could earn 200 contribution points. The points were a minor matter; Lin Feng valued the system’s rewards for solving it.

New Mission
Kill a complete ‘dangerous-level’ evil ghost with Tongtong to complete the task.
 
Task reward
+300 experience, +1 ghost potential, +1 bond

At this moment, the system rang out.
