“No wonder… so many ghost masters are fighting over perilous-level ghosts.”

In the orchard, Lin Feng looked at the few items in his hand and thought.

When you kill a dangerous-level ghost, you don’t actually get much.

The main benefit is that the ghostly energy can be absorbed by your own ghost spirit.

Additionally, if you’re lucky, your ghost spirit might gain some extra talents or abilities.

………….

But when you kill a perilous-level ghost, there are additional items.

These items have all been recorded by the system.

For example, the broken ghost rope.

This is the ghost rope that was possessed by the hanged ghost, although it’s now broken, it still has significant power; It can actually be used to bind ghosts.

Although this ghost rope only dropped from a perilous-level ghost and can likely only bind ghosts of that level, it’s still considered a genuine ghost weapon.

Moreover, Lin Feng has another rope in his hand.

This rope… is the one from a noose that was hanging on an apple tree, essentially a straw rope.

According to the system’s assessment, this straw rope is considered a ghost spirit item!

…………..

“This thing is probably the source of ghost spirit items in the base city, right?”

Lin Feng thought.

Turning in such a ghost spirit item to the base city can earn you more than 100 contribution points, depending on the item’s grade, which reflects the potential of the ghost spirit inside.

For ordinary people, a ghost spirit must be benevolent, or at least neutral in nature.

Only then can they develop a bond from a young age.

If it’s an evil spirit, it will definitely lose control during awakening, and some evil spirits can even corrupt a child’s mind from a young age.

This straw rope was likely possessed by the ghost of a person who was killed by the hanged ghost, turning it into a ghost spirit item.

Lin Feng tossed it into his storage space.

Lin Feng wasn’t interested in this ghost spirit item, nor did he need it; he could sell it when he returned to the base city.

………….

“Tongtong, you’ve worked hard. Let’s go!”

After taking stock of his loot, Lin Feng patted Tongtong’s little head and led her down the mountain.

By the time they descended the mountain, it was already afternoon.

Shortly after, Lin Feng arrived at the village where the orchard farmer lived. He informed them that the hanged ghost on the mountain had been killed and showed them the broken ghost rope as proof.

The farmers all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Feng then activated the satellite signal to check for other tasks.

In recent years, as the number of ghost masters has increased and they have grown stronger, the area around Liucheng Base City has been in a state of development and expansion. The surrounding area is mostly farmland since the base city needs to feed hundreds of thousands of people.

There are also many vegetable gardens, orchards, reservoirs, and more.

The area of human activity around the base city is quite large.

Of course, it’s nothing compared to a hundred years ago.

Lin Feng spent seven or eight minutes and found the location of another perilous-level ghost.

For him, the main purpose of these tasks issued by Liucheng Base City is to help him locate perilous-level ghosts.

“It’s a bit far… I’ll go over and check it out first.”

Lin Feng checked the distance and found that it was still several kilometers away.

He packed up his things and decided to go over and take a look first.

……………….

“Another few died, and it escaped again.”

As Lin Feng was heading to the next perilous-level ghost’s location, far away, a red paper figure appeared again in a dilapidated farmhouse.

“I told these ghost masters not to wander around, yet they still roam about. They’re just asking to die”

The red paper figure said.

“President, it’s getting closer to Liucheng. Will it enter the city at this rate?”

The middle-aged female ghost master asked.

“Liucheng… it’s possible. Chasing it like this won’t work. I’ll return to Liucheng to see if I can find what it’s after. You continue tracking it, but be careful not to confront it directly. Your ghost is very sensitive in this regard. The three of you should cooperate and be cautious, and there should be no problem.”

The red paper figure said.

“Okay, President, we’ll be careful.”

The middle-aged woman said.

“Then I’ll head back to the city.”

After speaking, the red paper figure quickly burned out.

…………………….

“Have you heard? It seems a powerful ghost has appeared outside the city, and many veteran ghost masters who were clearing ghosts outside have returned.”

“Yes, I heard. They say the inner city gates are now closed 24 hours, and you can only enter and exit through the small gates.”

“The outer city is the same.”

“It seems that ghost is really powerful. I wonder what level it is.”

“……”

The rookie group that Lin Feng joined also started discussing this matter.

However, since Lin Feng left the city yesterday and has been in an area without a signal, he doesn’t know about this yet.

………….

The outer city of Liucheng Base City has become much more lively than before.

On a street lined with small taverns, many of them are now packed.

These are all ghost masters who have returned from outside the city.

“Lao Qi, you’re back too?”

“Yes, I heard that the ghost outside the city is no ordinary one. Even a team led by a level 4 ghost master was wiped out. If I ran into it… I wouldn’t even be enough to be killed by it.”

“Sigh, even though we’re getting stronger, who knows how much those ghosts outside have grown. I’m starting to worry about this.”

“Worry about what? If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. At worst, we die. Who knows, maybe we’ll turn into ghosts ourselves and keep living in another form.”

“…..”

In a tavern, many ghost masters were chatting in small groups.

The appearance of that ghost outside the city… has made these ghost masters a bit uneasy.

“Hey, have you heard? A rare genius has emerged among the latest rookies. In the first housing test, they managed to get a villa.”

“I heard that too. Is that a spirit body? Can’t help but envy that.”

“It’s not a spirit body. If it were, they would have been taken away long ago. No way they’d end up in Liucheng.”

“….”

As they chatted, someone in the tavern brought up Lin Feng.

Not just anyone can live in a villa.

Aside from the first housing test, if you want to live in a villa later, you’ll need to buy it with contribution points, which is expensive. Unless a level 3 ghost master has connections, they can’t afford it. Most villa residents are level 4 ghost masters.

Moreover, even an average level 4 ghost master needs to accumulate a lot of time to get there.

So Lin Feng really made these veteran ghost masters envious.

“Your information is outdated. I just heard from some rookies that the genius who moved into the villa has a ghost spirit that’s already reached perilous-level, but they haven’t gone for certification yet. Who knows if it’s true!”

At this moment, a voice rang out.

“What? Perilous-level? Doesn’t that mean they’re like me, also a level 3 ghost master?”

A man in his thirties stood up, looking shocked, and said.

“It’s only been a few days, and they’re already perilous-level? If it were a spirit body, maybe, since I’ve heard only spirit bodies can control evil spirits. Some spirit bodies can even control terror-level powerful evil spirits at a young age.”

Another ghost master said, not really believing it.

There were quite a few level 3 ghost masters there.

Most of them took several years to over a decade to become level 3 ghost masters.

Now they were hearing that Lin Feng became a level 3 ghost master so quickly, and the key point was that he was like them… not a spirit body.

Scary.

No wonder these ghost masters didn’t really believe it.
