After breakfast, Lou Fan took out the items he brought back from the missions world this time. The most important thing is the 4 sets of 5-attributes crystals. According to the master, it can be used to deal with evil spirits. There are also other crystals, they can be used when needed or just exchanged for points directly. Other than that, he has the praying bead bracelet that the master gave to him and Shuyang.

The 5-attributes crystals and praying bead bracelet will definitely not be exchanged, but that does not prevent Lou Fan from finding out their value on the exchange machine. When he put a crystal into the exchange machine, it showed that the exchange points are 5,000 points. Changing to other types showed the same value. However, when Lou Fan put the white crystal on the exchange tray, the value multiplied tenfold, showing 50,000 points.

Seeing that, Lou Fan’s eyes curved with laughter. As expected from the white crystal, its role is different from ordinary crystals after all. He thought for a while and put a set of 5-attribute crystals together on the tray. This time, the buffer icon rotated for a minute. This familiar feeling made Lou Fan’s heart skip a beat, and he immediately became excited.

100,000 points.

Lou Fan snorted. His expectations were a bit high as he wondered if there would be a higher value. But then he thought of the previous Longjing grass that can improve their physique and its value is only 100,000 points. Compared to Longjing grass, the set of crystals has the same value so it’s pretty awesome. Thinking of this, the feeling of loss in his heart is comforted.

“It’s worth 100,000 points!” Wen Lang shouted. Then his expression dimmed as he said, “But we can’t exchange these 5-attribute crystals for points, right?”

Yes, that’s right. Wen Lang’s words got to the point.

The reality caused Lou Fan to be speechless. These crystals are like Longjing grass, it cannot be exchanged unless it is a last resort, it is a life-saving item. There are more than 50 random crystals in his hand, but they are only worth 200,000 points at most. White crystals can’t be exchanged away either. Combining its usage with Yang Gathering Amulet, this crystal will be their light source in the spiritual worlds.

Lou Fan frowned and worried staring at the pile of crystals. There are very few points that could be used.

Qin Tan is making something for Lou Fan in the kitchen at the moment. Jiang Dong saw Lou Fan’s dark expression and comforted him, “Though the points are not much, but we just changed our weapons. Now, there is not much use for the points except for medicines.”

Speaking of medicines, without the medicines from Chen Changdong and his team, Lou Fan’s leg wouldn’t be able to heal so quickly. And then at the last battle with the evil ghost king, they would have lost a lot of help from Lou Fan.

Wen Lang also echoed Jiang Dong’s words, “That’s right, Brother Lou. The weapons were useless in our last mission world. So, we haven’t used them yet and they are new, brand-new. There’s no need to exchange for more.”

Lou Fan looked at the two sadly, the disdain in his eyes almost turned into a tangible thing. At this moment, Chen Shuyang walked into the hall, rubbing his hair like a chicken coop.

Ding! ——Lou Fan felt as if he heard the sound of money and points swaying in front of him. The money tree has arrived!

Wen Lang only saw the RMB symbols flashing in Lou Fan’s eyes, and then saw Lou Fan bounce off the sofa and wave at Chen Shuyang.

“Shuyang, come on, have you eaten? If you haven’t, let your brother Qin cook something for you.”

Qin Tan who just came out with a bowl of dessert: …

When did he become a bargaining chip to please the members? ‘Public morals are degenerating with each passing day’ (idiom).

Wen Lang: “Brother Lou, are you such a superficial person?”

“Yes, that’s right.” Lou Fan nodded and admitted, “If you are like Shuyang, and can earn points for the team instead of making me worry, I will also ask your brother Qin to cook delicious food for you.”

Chen Shuyang scratched his head, “Well then, thank you, Brother Qin.”

Lou Fan pulled Chen Shuyang to sit down and asked earnestly, “Shuyang, did you learn anything from the anime?”

Chen Shuyang: “No, the spells can’t be seen clearly even after pausing the movie.”

Wen Lang threw his hands behind his head and shook his feet in the air. Hearing their conversation, he laughed out loud, “I say, rather than looking for information in the anime, it’s better to go to the bazaar. Maybe there’s something to gain.”

Hearing that, Chen Shuyang and Lou Fan’s eyes suddenly lit up. They stood up together, and are about to go out. Qin Tan called them, “Where are you going? Shuyang, eat your breakfast first. We’ll go to the bazaar after a discussion. Also, if you guys want to sell Shuyang’s amulet, you can try putting them on the electronic screen.”

Since the team leader has spoken, the two calmed down. Lou Fan nodded, “Oh yes, we must list them on the electronic screen.”

Jiang Dong interjected, “You should state that it is limited in quantity. Previously, the master said that drawing amulets consumes energy.”

Wen Lang also added, “It’s better to mark the listing as anonymous so we don’t get in trouble.” While they may not be afraid of getting in trouble, getting stuck on is annoying.

Lou Fan took out a small notebook, wrote down everyone’s opinions, and briefly introduced the effect of each spell in one sentence. He turned to Chen Shuyang and asked him how many spells he had in his hand. Chen Shuyang opened his spirit book. Inside, there are about 5 sets of spells, 5 for each type of spell, adding up to a total of 25 spells. These are all drawn by him in his spare time, so it does not waste any energy at all.

Lou Fan tapped his index finger on the coffee table and thought for a moment. Then he said, “Then, we’ll take these first to sell. We’ll talk about it again after it’s sold out. Make it like Hunger marketing, this will help increase the value of the spell.”

As if he thought of something, Jiang Dong sat up abruptly. He took one of the spells from the coffee table, walked to the exchange machine, and put it in. After waiting for more than 10 seconds, the value of the spell is displayed on the screen. Staring at the display, Jiang Dong is stunned for a while, then he silently turned to look at the others.

“Hey, what’s the matter with you?” Wen Lang asked anxiously. Seeing that Jiang Dong didn’t speak, Wen Lang walked over there by himself to look. Immediately, he widened his eyes and exclaimed, “Damn, Brother Lou, we are rich!”

Lou Fan is startled and swiftly walked over. Together with Qin Tan who had just come out of the kitchen, they saw on the display – Spell: 10,000 points.

The bright light in his eyes almost turned into a tangible thing. Chen Shuyang became incredibly happy and said, “Damn, I didn’t expect that I am now a high-paying skilled worker!”

Wen Lang is very envious. The sour jealousy turned him into a ‘lemon spirit’, “Ah, ah, I also want this skill too!”

Jiang Dong glanced at Wen Lang and said, “Stop dreaming.”

Wen Lang gritted his teeth. What else could he say?!

Like a splash of cold water, Qin Tan said, “Don’t be too happy. ‘Men dread fame as pigs dread being fat’, so keep a low profile.”

Everyone immediately restrained their smiles and got driven back to the sofa to sit down by Qin Tan.

“Regarding the fact that Shuyang can draw spells on his book, I have talked to Team leader Chen about it so he should not talk about it outside.” Qin Tan sat next to Lou Fan and said with a serious face, “Put the amulets on the electronic screen, just as you said before. Also, set the quantity as limited and keep it anonymous. Everyone, don’t reveal about the amulets so easily outside and in the mission world as well. I’m afraid Shuyang will be in danger if it goes out.”

Everyone also took the warning seriously and expressed that they will pay attention.

Qin Tan turned his head and asked Chen Shuyang, “How much are you going to price the spell?”

Chen Shuyang looked dazed. He uttered a word and looked at Lou Fan, “I don’t know. We’ll just put whatever Brother Lou said.”

Lou Fan nodded and touched his chin with his index finger. After thinking for a while, he decided not to go too far, one must have the capacity to be kind. Since in Lazuli’s exchange machine it is worth 10,000 points, they’ll set the price at 30,000 points. The most important thing is that there is no such item available to exchange in the exchange machine. Even if the amulet is only worth 10,000 points in the exchange machine, one might not be able to get the amulets even if they have the points, which makes it easy to raise the price.

“30,000 points is not too outrageous, right?” Lou Fan smiled and narrowed his eyes, like a cunning fox.

Jiang Dong, Wen Lang, Chen Shuyang: …

Qin Tan’s expression looked serious and remained unchanged as he added, “En, it’s not outrageous at all. I think we can add another 20,000 points to it.”

The highest level of ‘saying nonsense without blinking’.

In the end, they set to sell a spell with 30,000 points each, and they are only going to take out 5 spells this time, which is a set. The main reason is that if they take out 25 spells at a time, it will be too eye-catching, and they will definitely be monitored. They don’t want to stand out.

The first day they returned to Lazuli is always the most relaxing time. After everyone finished unpacking their stuff, Lou Fan stood in front of the mirror and brushed the hair on his forehead. It keeps making him uncomfortable as it is a bit long. Lou Fan turned his head to look at the others. Except for Qin Tan, everyone’s hair has grown below the ears and is about to become mid-shoulder-length.

“Wen Lang, does Lazuli have a place to cut hair?” Lou Fan asked casually, “If we don’t cut our hair, we will have to go to Tong Fei to ask for a rubber band to tie it up.”

Wen Lang got taken aback for a moment and he tugged at his own hair. After thinking for a while, he said, “I seem to have heard of such a person. It should be in the bazaar.”

Lou Fan nodded. Qin Tan walked over to Lou Fan, pulled a lock of his hair, and blew it. Then he chuckled and said, “Let’s go to the bazaar. We’ll go for a walk.”

The two of them fell behind the group and Qin Tan suddenly approached nearer to Lou Fan. With a smile, he asked, “Does it still hurt down there?”

The question got Lou Fan froze for a moment. Feeling a little awkward, he coughed lightly and shook his head.

“En.” Qin Tan replied with an acknowledgment. Then, he reached out and lightly patted Lou Fan’s butt.

This ambiguous action made Lou Fan turn his head to look at Qin Tan with a stunned gaze. The words in his eyes said, ‘You have changed!’

Qin Tan is in a good mood. Seeing Lou Fan’s wide and round eyes like a small animal, he couldn’t help rubbing his head again.

Lou Fan: “Qin Tan, don’t overdo it!”

Qin Tan: “I can ‘do’ even more, don’t you already know it all?”

Lou Fan took a deep breath. He doesn’t know where Qin Tan learns this kind of thing. Let’s not talk about how Qin Tan looked at him with a hair-raising gaze. Now, even his speech is so blatant. Lou Fan felt that he has to figure out a way to counter. Otherwise, if he is so passive every time, he will lose out.

Qin Tan had already walked out of the door. He turned his head and shouted at Lou Fan, who is still stunned in the living room. Lou Fan rubbed his hair and decided to talk about this later, so he stepped up and followed.

The team hasn’t been in Lazuli for more than 10 days, and they felt a long-lost intimacy as they walked. Soon, they came to the bazaar in the north square. There are many information displayed on the electronic screen. Each listing stayed for 10 seconds, and the scrolling frequency is quite high.

The team stood there and stared for a long time. Then, they all realized that something is wrong.

“Why are there so many requests for information exchange? I counted them, and there are more than 70.” Lou Fan counted twice with squinted eyes.

Qin Tan nodded, “There are more requests for items from the spiritual world, more than 80%.”

Jiang Dong looked around calmly and whispered, “Many people are hiding and monitoring in the dark, all staring at the registration office.”

The team can’t understand, what happened recently? Why did the bazaar’s atmosphere suddenly become so strange?

Tong Fei ignored Qin Tan’s knife-like eyes and took Lin Man Man away with the spoils.

Qin Tan also want to take his team back to their residence, so he said goodbye to the Level 10 team before leaving. Chen Changdong looked a little better now, but Liu Xing still had a heavy emotion in her eyes. That lively girl he saw before going to the mission world will never come back.

Back at the house, Wen Lang said goodbye to Qin Tan and went upstairs with the other 2 team members. Lou Fan immediately felt relieved when he entered the house. It felt like he is home. Unfortunately, his whole body is covered in dust so he didn’t dare to sit on the sofa. Throwing his backpack on the ground, Lou Fan ran to his room. Lou Fan carefully took Furball out of his pocket, but it is still curled up, and fell asleep like a snowball. Lou Fan put it on the bed, and let it continue to sleep. Since they are back in Lazuli, there is no danger anymore.

Qin Tan heard the sound of someone running in the house, and then the sound of the bathroom door closing. Smiling helplessly, he put the 2 backpacks in the corner properly. Then he went to his room to change his clothes. Next, after tapping a few times on the exchange machine, Qin Tan picked up the exchanged ingredients and went into the kitchen, where the sound of running water could be heard.

…

Warm water flowing down on the body, and the exhaustion all over the body is swept away. It would be nice if their next mission world can allow them to take a bath every day, Lou Fan thought. After rinsing the foam off his hair, Lou Fan flicked the water droplets and turned off the faucet. He took out a blue towel and wiped his hair, suddenly feeling that something is missing.

Aiya, he forgot to bring a clean change of clothes. Leaning to the door, he shouted to the outside, “Qin Tan, Qin Tan…”

Qin Tan came out from the kitchen and responded.

Lou Fan said, “Help me get the change of clothes, it’s the pile on the bed.” He doesn’t like bath sheets, and he can’t go out wrapped in a bath towel[1], it can’t cover everything at all.

Qin Tan wiped his hands and walked into Lou Fan’s room[2], where he saw neatly folded changes of clothes piled on the edge of the bed. It’s a set of light grey loungewear, the fabric looked soft.

There is a gap in the door of the bathroom and Lou Fan was wiping his hair when the man suddenly pushed the door and came in. Those black eyes immediately met his gaze from the mirror. After a quick glance across Lou Fan’s body, the man’s eyes darkened slightly and he walked it, step by step closer.

Lou Fan: …

Shiet! Forgot to close the door, and he is nekid.

Lou Fan immediately grabbed the towel to cover his ‘little brother’. As Qin Tan approached, looking at him with slightly deep eyes, Lou Fan unconsciously swallowed and his Adam’s apple moved up and down.

The man’s deep voice sounded in his ears, “Nice body.”

Lou Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly. The man lowered his head slowly and Lou Fan’s hands reached out to press against his chest. He could feel the person’s warmth emanating from under the clothes, but at the moment it is as hot as a soldering iron.

Lou Fan: “You are still dirty.”

The inexplicable disdain tone caused a deep chuckle to sound from above Lou Fan’s head. Qin Tan shoved the clean clothes into Lou Fan’s hands, and said lightly, “Then, wash again with me.”

Lou Fan: “In your dreams! If you just want me to rub your back for you, then no.”

Qin Tan asked, “Then, how about I rub it for you?” He stretched out his hand.

Lou Fan reached out and pushed Qin Tan away, “Get out now, it’s cold.”

Hearing that Lou Fan is cold, Qin Tan stopped teasing him and went out. Then he closed the door to let him change his clothes.

When the door is closed, Lou Fan held his clothes and blushed inexplicably. The next moment, he scolded himself for blushing. It’s not like his nekid body had not been seen by other people before. When he was in the archery club, he used to wash together in the common bathroom with other members.

…

As Lou Fan came out of his room, he raised his hand and touched his half-dried hair. When he passed the other bathroom, he heard someone humming a song in a light voice, as if the person is in a good mood. Lou Fan curled his mouth. Tsk, Qin Tan is this happy from teasing him?

Lou Fan glanced across the room and saw a bowl of yellow mango sago that looked delicious on the dining table. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he glanced sideways in the direction of the sound of water. Using a porcelain white spoon, he scooped a spoonful of sago and sent it into his mouth. Soft and sweet, smooth and chewy. Mixed with the unique taste of mango pulp and milk, a sense of happiness grows from the bottom of Lou Fan’s heart.

Suddenly, Wen Lang could be heard shouting from upstairs, “Jiang Dong, put that down! That is my shower gel.”

Jiang Dong seemed to say something and then, Wen Lang shouted again, “Who is being stingy?! If you like it, then buy it yourself. I don’t like to share my stuff with others!”

Immediately after, Wen Lang’s voice became smaller but still, he could be heard roaring wildly.

Accompanied by Wen Lang’s wailing noise, Lou Fan happily savor every bite and had a feeling that the dessert this time is more delicious than usual.

Qin Tan wiped his hair and wrapped a bath towel as he came out of the bathroom. Then he saw the person lying on the sofa. Walking over, he smiled when he saw the empty bowl on the coffee table. Then, he turned to look at the sleeping man.

Lou Fan’s eyes are closed and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised. His hair has grown longer now, and his bangs covered his eyes a little. The sun dipped in the west and the afterglow of the setting sun spilled in, causing the sleeping person’s fine eyelashes to cast a shadow on his face.

Qin Tan sat down beside Lou Fan gently. He reached out and brushed Lou Fan’s hair, revealing his handsome face. Qin Tan smiled inexplicably, and his fingertips touched Lou Fan’s smooth skin. It’s like poison, which made him not want to let go. Qin Tan’s other hand took Lou Fan’s hand and found out that his slender fingertips are slightly cold. Qin Tan frowned and turned to pull the blanket on the sofa to cover him.

Lou Fan moved slightly. He shifted to a comfortable position, wrapped in a blanket, and fell asleep again, like a small animal who just found a heat source. Qin Tan chuckled lightly, and his eyes swept across Lou Fan’s calf, where a piece of flesh had been gouged out by an evil spirit before. The wound was dripping with blood, and the flesh was exposed. His hand that lifted Lou Fan’s trouser legs even trembled slightly. But now, the calf is as smooth as ever. Qin Tan closed his eyes and forced himself to put aside his emotions to calm down. He could always recall that moment, if he was one step later…

…

A numb itching sensation spread from the calf to his whole body so Lou Fan opened his eyes in confusion. For a while, he doesn’t know where he is right now. He rubbed his eyes, his expression a little daze. Looking at the person in front of him, he called out ‘Qin Tan’ in a low voice, with a nasal sound and a little hoarseness.

The man didn’t respond to Lou Fan and he got pressed down heavily the next moment. The man captured his lips roughly, and let out a deep rumble of a smile from his throat. Lou Fan put both hands against him but the man is only wrapped in a bath towel. Hence, at this moment, his hands are in direct contact with a firm and hard chest. The touch of warm skin makes Lou Fan feel that his palms are slightly hot, not sure where to put them.

“Concentrate.”

The man’s dissatisfied voice sounded in his ears, Lou Fan only had time to take a breath before getting kissed into a daze again. Finally fully waken up from the sleepiness, Lou Fan wrapped his hands around the man’s neck unconsciously and responded enthusiastically.

Amid heavy breathing, the towel wrapped around the man’s waist had already slipped to the ground. Lou Fan’s buttons are pulled apart, revealing his sturdy upper body. Touching each other skin-to-skin, their bodies trembled slightly.

The man stood up slightly, looked at Lou Fan’s misty and moist eyes with deep desire black eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, “Can I?”

Being stared intensely like that, Lou Fan only felt that the blood all over his body is boiling. He nodded slightly, “En.”

With 2-3 movements, Lou Fan is stripped nekid. He felt like he is a boiled shrimp now. The man slowly pressed down, and the sensitive friction caused them to shudder, making people go insane. Lou Fan took deep breaths and slightly raised his neck. The man didn’t stop moving as he lowered his head to press his lips on Lou Fan’s neck. The touch caused Lou Fan to let out a low cry.

It was too intense, causing Lou Fan to shed tears, which are then licked clean by the man. Lou Fan hugged the man tightly. At this moment, he doesn’t want to think about anything and just wanted to be with this man.

“Qin Tan.” Lou Fan called out the man’s name.

The man responded in a low voice, touching his forehead like caressing a treasure, “I’m here.”

Hearing that, Lou Fan wrapped his arms around the man’s neck and raised his head to initiate a lingering and long kiss.

…

When Lou Fan wakes up, he is surrounded by darkness, the heavy curtains drawn. Lou Fan pushed himself up, causing the quilt on his body to slip down. A breeze of coldness hit his skin, causing him to shiver. There is a little discomfort below at that place and Lou Fan frowned slightly. Just as he moved, a firm arm stretched out from under the quilt, wrapping his shoulders and pressing him back to the bed.

The man buried his head at the side of Lou Fan’s neck and sniffed him. It made his body tremble, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded, “Sleep for a little while more. Do you feel any discomfort?”

Lou Fan snorted softly. Earlier he even put down his pride and begged for mercy, but Qin Tan didn’t spare him. Now he dared to ask him if he is uncomfortable?

Of course there is!

It’s too late to ask now!

The man pressed down on him again but Lou Fan blocked with his hands. Gritting his teeth, he scolded, “Qin Tan, act properly.”

Qin Tan didn’t want to be ‘proper’ at all, but seeing that Lou Fan is about to get irritated, he flipped from the top with a quick movement and stepped on the ground with his bare feet, “I’ll make you something to eat, you can sleep for a while.”

Looking at the man’s nekid and strong back, Lou Fan clicked his tongue and pulled the quilt over to continue resting. Although he didn’t fall asleep and just lay quietly in bed, there is a smile on his lips.

Although the ‘exercise’ was a little painful, it felt good unsurprisingly. With them living a day-by-day[3] life in Lazuli, if he doesn’t enjoy things to the fullest, he will feel sorry for himself.

There is a gap at the door, and some light shone in. Lou Fan glanced at the time and saw that it is already 8.00 am. Sounds are coming from the kitchen outside, and then someone knocked on the main door.

“Brother Lou is still sleeping?” Wen Lang asked in surprise, “He wouldn’t be sick, right? He slept for more than 10 hours now. Logically speaking, he won’t get sick. No, Jiang Dong, you should go take a look.”

Wen Lang is in a hurry to look for Lou Fan but got stopped by Qin Tan, “He is just catching up some sleep. He is not sick so don’t yell. You better shut up if you want to eat breakfast.”

Wen Lang immediately made a zipping motion on his mouth and sat down at the dining table. Though, he couldn’t understand since Brother Lou isn’t sick, why Qin Tan’s attitude is still so unfriendly?

Lou Fan rolled twice on the bed, and then went to the bathroom in the room to take a shower. He felt much more comfortable, so he changed his clothes and went out.

Jiang Dong and Wen Lang are already seated, but Chen Shuyang isn’t there.

“Where’s Shuyang?”

Jiang Dong: “He slept late last night and hasn’t woken up yet.”

Lou Fan: “What did he do, sleeping so late?”

Jiang Dong showed an indescribable expression before saying, “He exchanged some points for an anime called Onmyoji, and watched it all night.”

“Pfft!” Lou Fan couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Is Chen Shuyang planning to learn how to draw spells from the anime? He kind of wanted to go upstairs now and stand beside Chen Shuyang’s bed. Then he’ll ask him how he felt after watching the anime.

Jiang Dong’s eyes scanned Lou Fan up and down, and Lou Fan looked at him too. Then he saw Jiang Dong blinked and raised an eyebrow at him.

Lou Fan: …

Why didn’t he find out before that Jiang Dong is so sassy? Can he still change teammates now?!

[1] Apparently, there are different types of bath towels lol

[2] Not sure if the author noticed the plot hole but Lou Fan can always go to his bed nekid to quickly take the change of clothes. There’s only him and Qin Tan staying in the house anyway _(;3/

[3] Not sure if there’s an English word for this. The chinese word here means ‘living everyday, not knowing if you might die the next day’. Something like ‘carpe diem’ I think

Banana: I tried to make this chapter as sexy as possible but the author isn’t giving much for me to expand _(;3/

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins) -dead
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair) -dead
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

The transparent figure in mid-air disappeared without a trace, and everyone collapsed tiredly to the ground.

Wen Lang let out a long sigh of relief and howled, “I’m so exhausted!”

With the evil ghost king disappeared, the darkness around faded away, gradually revealing the original appearance of the circular atrium on the 1st floor of the shopping mall. Unexpectedly, it is already daytime. When they glanced at the time on their watch, it is already 7.00 am on the 11th day.

Suddenly, Chen Shuyang, who was standing just now, fell head-first to the ground with a loud ‘thump’. Lou Fan is startled and immediately ran to Chen Shuyang’s side. Wen Lang and others also came to surround Chen Shuyang.

“Shuyang is injured? What’s the matter?” Lou Fan turned to ask Wen Lang because he was the one standing the closest to Chen Shuyang just now.

Wen Lang blankly replied, “No, Shuyang has been drawing amulets by the master’s side. The evil ghost king never came to this side, so he shouldn’t be hurt.”

The master who is standing at the side said quietly, “So, drawing amulets is not tiring huh?”

Lou Fan and the others turned their heads to look and saw that the master seemed to roll his eyes at Wen Lang. His gaze seemed to ask, ‘Are you looking down on people who support with brain power?’.

Wen Lang: …What’s with this feeling like his IQ is being questioned?

Hearing that, Lou Fan breathed a sigh of relief. It’s fine as long as Chen Shuyang is okay. “It seems that drawing amulets is not an easy job. Let’s go back to rest first, everyone is exhausted.”

They are physically exhausted, while Chen Shuyang is mentally exhausted, both are not easy.

The task of going back with Chen Shuyang on his back is handed over to Wen Lang as he contributed the least. Although Wen Lang is tired after a tense night, everyone else is even more tired. Wen Lang also felt sorry for not helping, so he took the initiative to carry Chen Shuyang back.

Yuan Jin and Liu Yue’s bodies are still here so the Level 10 team did not follow them back. Chen Changdong and Qin Tan exchanged some words before carrying Liu Yue on his back. Dong Xu carrying Yuan Jin, and Liu Xing followed behind. The team of 3 people heads outside together.

Qin Tan sighed deeply and took his team back to rest.

When everyone in Qin Tan’s team woke up, it is already evening. Everyone was very tired after all. At this moment, they woke up after getting a full sleep, and their eyes are hazy.

Chen Shuyang rubbed his head with a confused look on his face. There is a huge bulge on the back of his head. Did someone hit him with a stick? But looking at the expressions of his teammates like nothing is wrong, he didn’t ask further.

When everyone in the team woke up, the Level 10 team coincidentally came in from outside. No one knows where they were going earlier but the team of 3 looked tired and depressed. Qin Tan and his team are going to go out for food, so they gave them the space to rest in the staff lounge.

The master followed Qin Tan’s team out of the lounge. His face is still full of kindness, but Lou Fan looked at him and had a feeling that he is a little different now, like a weak old man.

“Young men, our fate has ended, and I’m afraid we won’t see each other again in the future. Let’s leave it as it is now.”

There’s a cloth bag on the master’s shoulder but it didn’t look like there is anything in it. The master smiled mildly and took out 2 bracelets with 18 praying beads. The beads looked shiny and smooth. At first glance, one can see that the bracelets are often rolled in someone’s hands. The master looked at Lou Fan and Chen Shuyang, and said with a smile, “You two have a fateful link with me. I have these 2 bracelets which I often carry with me. Just take them as a souvenir. Take them.”

Lou Fan and Chen Shuyang are overwhelmed by the favor. They didn’t expect to receive a gift from the NPC. They immediately stretched out their hands, took them solemnly, and sincerely thanked the master.

The master narrowed his eyes and chanted the Buddha’s name, “Our meeting is fate. Young brother Chen has learned several spells from me. I hope those can help you in the future. Well then, I will take my leave first.”

Chen Shuyang raised his hand and wanted to say something, but he only opened his mouth and closed it again. He didn’t know what to say, but he felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.

The master walked away slowly, and his back looked free and relaxed.

Jiang Dong put a hand around Chen Shuyang’s shoulder and patted him, “Where there’s a meeting, there will be a separation as well. Then the circle will be complete.”

Chen Shuyang sighed silently.

Suddenly, Wen Lang made a fuss at the side, “What is the master doing?! Didn’t he see that there are still 3 people at the side? Do we not want our faces as well? At least give us an amulet or something! But he gave us nothing!!”

Wen Lang’s funny tone and expression of grief and indignation immediately made everyone laugh. Lou Fan and Chen Shuyang put away the bracelets in their hands, and their team went out to find something to eat.

Since the matter with the evil ghost king is cleaned up, the plaza looks a lot normal. Even the customers who come and go inside are all smiling. They are planning to find a place to eat something good. They had been in this world for more than 10 days, and they really relied on dry food to fill their stomachs every day. This kind of food almost caused them to become ascetic monks.

No, even ascetic monks are not as miserable!

Then, the team found a hot pot restaurant in the plaza. They ordered a dual-soup pot and started to eat together. Fortunately, the hot pot restaurant closed at 2.00 am so they have enough time to eat. When they came out of the hot pot restaurant, their belly is round with food. Lou Fan felt that he is stuffed to his throat already. If he is to take another half a mouthful, he will vomit.

Since the team slept too much during the day, they are not sleepy at all at this moment. Hence, they walked around like walking corpses, wandering inside the mall. The mall is empty, but it wasn’t as gloomy as it used to be. Looking left and right, it is just an ordinary mall.

Wen Lang put his hands behind his head and let out a leisurely sigh, “Ah, when will this leisurely time become an everyday thing. I just want to be a person who lazes around until the day I die!”

Jiang Dong let out a laugh, “If you don’t work hard, you don’t get to laze around and just wait to die!”

Being confronted like this, Wen Lang suddenly frowned. Even Shuyang found the best way to use his spirit book. His poker is the weakest weapon on the team right now, and the restrictions are also very big. If he doesn’t try hard, he’s afraid it will be really hard to keep his life.

Qin Tan said lightly, “Wen Lang’s practice will be doubled up when we return to Lazuli. The same goes for Shuyang. It’s not enough to just count on your book. Your body is too weak.”

Wen Lang and Chen Shuyang nodded quickly, showing no resistance at all.

Thinking of leaving tomorrow, Lou Fan reluctantly stuck his face at the window of the crystal shops. He looked at the crystals inside, thinking about whether to break into the store at night to search for more crystals. But the probability of getting the attribute crystals here is really low. Also, it is too time and power-consuming to smash the shops one by one. After thinking about it, Lou Fan lets go of his thoughts. This row of shops in the south has been looted by them, and almost everything that can be taken is in his bag. It is better not to do such immoral things.

At 12:00 pm on February 5th, the junior team carried their luggage to the platform and waited. The atmosphere in the team is light and happy. When the Level 10 team came, they only felt that the atmosphere of the 3 people is heavy.

After a while, Wen Lang turned his head left and right to look around, and suddenly asked, “Why hasn’t the newcomer team come?”

Oh yeah! How did they forget the newcomer team? It’s almost time, and there is no one there. While discussing whether or not to look for the newcomers, 2 miserable-looking people appeared out of nowhere and scrambled up to them. Their faces are full of panic as if they had been frightened by something.

Everyone asked for details and found out that on the day they dealt with the ghost king, all kinds of ghosts appeared in the plaza, and the newcomer team was attacked. Only the two of them fought back with their spirit weapons. With much hardship, they hold on until dawn and survive. But they couldn’t find anyone else, so they could only hide by themselves, afraid that those ghosts might appear again. It is until now that they finally came back to their senses, and realized that the mission time is ending soon.

Wen Lang and Chen Shuyang comforted the newcomers with a few words and then everyone waited for the train to arrive. At 1.00 pm, the train arrived on time. Everyone looked back once more and saw that the characters inscribed at the entrance had returned to become Liwan Plaza. Sighing, they embarked on the return journey.

Liu Xing turned back and her gaze stopped at a point. Then she looked sideways at her backpack. Inside is a small jar containing Liu Yue’s ashes. She said silently in her heart, “Sister, let’s leave here. I’ll take you back.”

…

When Lou Fan and the others got out of the train, they saw a charming woman standing opposite a pillar with a cigarette in her hand. There is also a sweet-looking girl standing beside her.

Seeing the people getting out of the train, the charming woman curved her red lips. She snuffed out the cigarette in her hand and walked over to them. Skipping past Qin Tan, the woman pounced at Lou Fan boldly and said, “I knew that you guys will be all right.”

Lin Man Man next to the woman also smiled and narrowed her eyes, “Brother Lou, you guys are amazing. It’s great that you are all fine.” After that, she greeted Wen Lang and the other members.

Not expecting that someone would come to pick him up upon returning, Lou Fan is quite happy. “Sister Tong Fei, Man Man, you two waited here to pick us up?”

Squinted her eyes, Tong Fei smirked and raised Lou Fan’s chin with her fingers, “Of course, I’m here to see you.”

Tong Fei is a beautiful woman, but when she raised her eyebrows and smiled, she looked like a domineering female president teasing a naive young man. Lou Fan is a little helpless and wanted to move away, but Qin Tan is quicker and he slapped Tong Fei’s tender fingers away. He pulled Lou Fan behind him and said, “Don’t touch as you please, talk properly.” The tone is full of possessiveness.

Tong Fei chuckled. Her big eyes looked back and forth, and her expression towards the ambiguous relationship is very obvious, like an X-ray. Even Lin Man Man has a gossipy expression on her face.

Lou Fan is a little embarrassed for some reason. When he is about to speak, Tong Fei suddenly froze, followed by a look of shock.

“You, both your spirit weapons…”

Lou Fan got taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, “Yes, both of us have been upgraded.”

“The fuc…” Tong Fei accidentally said a foul word and continued, “You guys are too frcking awesome!”

As one of their few friends, Lou Fan felt that he is willing to tell Tong Fei everything he knew, so he agreed to get together tomorrow and talk about the upgrade of the spirit weapon in detail.

Although Tong Fei is anxious to know more inside, Qin Tan’s team had just returned and she had to let them rest, so she said yes. After a pause, she raised her head and asked hesitantly, “Can I call another friend to listen?”

Lou Fan glanced at Qin Tan and shrugged, “No problem, it’s not something that can’t be said. Isn’t it easier to survive if more people upgraded their weapons?”

Hearing that, Tong Fei shook her head with a wry smile. Then she said, “I have also inquired about some things here. I’ll talk about it in detail tomorrow. You go back to rest first. I can see that you are tired too.”

Before leaving, Lou Fan casually took out a crystal from his bag and handed it to Lin Man Man, “This time we have collected some crystals. This is for you, you can keep it for fun.”

Lin Man Man likes this kind of shiny thing very much. She knows that Lou Fan must have collected a lot of items this time. She still remembers that back in the mission world of Lao Ye Temple, they collected a lot of items so she accepted it with a smile.

At the side, Tong Fei spread her hands and said, “I want one too.”

Lou Fan: …

Qin Tan: …

Why is this woman so annoying?!

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins) -dead
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Liu Xing’s face is expressionless. Her eyes are dull as she used her remaining hand to help Liu Yue tidy up her clothes and appearance.

Chen Changdong tightly held the fishing rod in his hand. Raising his head, he stood up and straightened his back, as if the sad man just now was not him. He said to the only 2 remaining fighting forces in a deep tone, “Be vigilant. Be sure to keep your surroundings visible, don’t be careless.”

Before this, Liu Xing had already lost an arm and now she got hit by the loss of her sister. At this moment, she is like a walking dead. Even if she is at the juncture of life and death, even if the evil ghost king is in front of her now, she would not even blink.

Both Yuan Jin and Dong Xu are nervous, the palms holding the spirit weapon are covered in sweat. Yuan Jin stretched out his hand and wiped the side of his pants, suddenly feeling very thirsty.

The Level 10 team lost a member in an instant and Qin Tan’s team couldn’t even react in time. Lou Fan felt his eyelids twitch. He had a bad premonition, and his whole body tensed up.

“Remember to be careful!” Qin Tan urged, standing beside Lou Fan.

Lou Fan nodded, then turned to instruct the other team members, “Shuyang’s Yang Gathering Amulet are prepared quite a lot. Take turns to stick the amulets around. Stick one every 10 minutes. Don’t let your surrounding be in darkness and hold tightly to your spirit weapon. Also, hold the Thunderbolt Amulet in your hand. If the situation is not right, use it right away even if you might get hurt from the explosion. You can’t let the evil ghost grab you.”

In short, their policy is to protect their own life, and at the same time to ensure that the master does not die.

The longer the master recited the scriptures, the faster it becomes. The sound in Lou Fan’s ears is strong, like a built-in loudspeaker, with a mellow voice reverberating in his ears. Lou Fan felt that the ghost king is going to be forced out by the master soon. Sure enough, the next moment, a huge shadow appeared from behind the mountain of corpses. It rushed straight to their side, obviously its target is the master sitting in the middle of their team’s guard.

Chen Changdong came over to the junior team’s side immediately, and the two people behind him followed. With a swipe, his hook and fishing line flew towards the huge shadow. Qin Tan also did not hesitate to face the shadow immediately. Lou Fan took a stance, stood in front of the master, and began to shoot arrows at the shadow. His arms moved rapidly, and the spiritual arrows are shot at the shadow like a dense rain of arrows. When the spiritual arrow hits the black shadow, a small white spot will appear in the black mass. As the arrow rains down, the black shadow seems to have been pierced with many small holes, looking like it is leaking. The effect of the spirit arrow is much stronger after the upgrade. Lou Fan could even see the puff of smoke coming out of the shadow after being wounded by the arrow rain. As Lou Fan is happy with the result, the movements of his hands became faster.

Chen Changdong’s fish hook hooked at the evil ghost king, but the evil ghost managed to get away before the fishing line can entangle it. The evil ghost king still has some intelligence. Qin Tan stepped forward and slashed at the ghost king. However, the ghost king stretched out his arm and actually blocked it. Qin Tan flipped over, pulled back his Tang sword, and then stabbed at the ghost king again.

Both sides attacked and defended ceaselessly. Qin Tan is flexible and powerful and managed to fight an even battle with the ghost king. Also, Lou Fan is assisting on the side. Once Lou Fan’s arrows hit the evil ghost king, Qin Tan will slash at the ghost next. After a while, the evil ghost king dodged an attack and disappeared.

The Sanskrit chanting is also something. Lou Fan felt that the scriptures recited by the master might have a stimulating effect on the evil ghost king, After a while, the ghost king appeared again but the dark aura around him is not as thick as the first time.

The defense line in front is very strong. Jiang Dong informed Chen Shuyang and Wen Lang that he is going to help, and joined the battle himself. Yuan Jin and Dong Xu are both close-range fighters, but they didn’t have the courage to go head-to-head like Qin Tan.

The evil ghost king is slippery like a loach. Chen Changdong’s fishing line couldn’t get around the ghost every time it got hooked. Only Lou Fan’s spirit arrow could do something in the battle.

The bandage in Jiang Dong’s hand is actually similar to Chen Changdong’s fishing line. Even better, his bandage is wider and not slippery. With a flick of his hand, a strip of bandage is wrapped around the ghost king. It’s a pity that his spirit weapon is not an intermediate spirit weapon, It’s a little bit low-leveled to deal with the evil ghost king. After a few moments, the bandages are broken into several pieces by the evil ghost king. Jiang Dong frowned and saw the Thunderbolt Amulet in his hand. With a flash of inspiration, he put the amulet on his bandage. Then, with a flick of his hand, the bandage rushed out to wrap around the ghost king again. Jiang Dong felt that he even heard the ghost king’s ridicule – Even small fries like you want to deal with me? In your dreams!

The next second, Jiang Dong whispered the word ‘Explode’ softly.

Inside the bandage wrapped around the ghost king, thunderbolts and lightning flashed. With a loud BANG, the amulet caused an explosion on the ghost king’s body.

The explosion is quite loud and everyone looked at the evil ghost king. They saw a hole in the place where the Thunderbolt amulet detonated, oh, the ghost is leaking.

It’s effective! Everyone’s eyes lit up and they all held the Thunderbolt Amulet in their hands. In case the evil ghost king approaches, they’ll stick it on the ghost!

Instantly, Chen Shuyang become the treasured person on the team. Because though the amulet was taught by the master to Chen Shuyang, the master himself did not draw this amulet. Lou Fan took 2 Thunderbolt Amulets from Chen Shuyang. Next, he pulled out 3 cross arrows from the quiver on his side. He stuck the 3 amulets on the arrows, raised his bow, and aimed. The 3 arrows flew toward the evil ghost king who is currently fighting with Qin Tan.

“Qin Tan, cross arrows incoming.” Lou Fan shouted.

Qin Tan keeps moving but slightly turned his body sideways. Reaching out, he caught the 3 arrows and then directed them forward, right into the huge shadow[1].

“Explode!”

BANG BANG BANG!

With 3 deafening explosions, the evil ghost king looked like it got immobilized. Qin Tan fixed his eyes on the huge shadow and felt like there is a human figure in the dark shadow.

“Team leader Chen, your fishing line.”

Chen Changdong reacted and immediately threw out his fishing hook. The fishing line finally entangled the evil ghost king. Qin Tan slapped an immobilizing amulet on the ghost king. Lou Fan ran forward and stuck 2 more amulets on the ghost. After making sure that it couldn’t move, he then felt relieved.

Chen Changdong also let out a sigh of relief, “Let’s get it down and seal it. Then it’s over.”

Lou Fan shook his head and looked at the master, “Master, please.”

It was unknown when the chanting stopped, the master stood up and walked toward the evil ghost king. Standing in front of the ghost, he put his hands together and chanted the Buddha’s name. Then he said, “Put down your enmity and repent. If you continue doing something like this, you will never be able to be reborn as a human again[2].”

The evil ghost king screamed, but they couldn’t hear what the ghost is saying. Only the master shook his head with a look of pity. Sighing, he said, “Obstinately persist in going the wrong way.”

As the master spoke, he took off the rosary bead on his body and held it in his hand, reciting the scriptures again. Then, he grabbed a handful of glutinous rice in his hand and sprinkled it on the evil ghost king. Everyone can see the black aura emanating from the ghost king’s body and the human figure in the shadow is struggling violently, screaming. The sound wasn’t loud, but they can’t help wanting to cover their ears and falling into a trance.

The master is not affected at all and continued to chant. His chanting turned faster and faster, and the evil ghost king struggled even more. Qin Tan took the Calming Amulet from Chen Shuyang and put it on himself and Lou Fan. After that, he told the other 3 members to stick it on too. Then, he stood beside the master to prevent the evil ghost king from suddenly attacking.

Seeing that the ghost struggled more and more violently, the master suddenly nodded at Lou Fan. Lou Fan immediately understood, turned around, and went to the pile of objects to find the hair and nails of the 7 deceased wrapped by the master. He lit the fire in the brazier and then threw them in.

“Huhuhuhu…ARGH!”

The dark shadow dissipated, leaving only a terrifying-looking human figure. His face is hideous and his head is drooping, but he looked like a man. His eyes are scarlet, full of hatred. The man looked at the master fiercely, and cursed out in gritted teeth, word by word: “I. Want. To. Kill. You!”

The master looked kindly at the man with a gentle smile on his face, “If killing me can dispel the hatred in your heart, then you can kill me.”

Lou Fan’s heart skipped a beat. Master, can we not make this kind of joke? If you dispelled his hatred (by dying), isn’t this asking us to die (because they failed their mission)? This idea doesn’t work.

The ghost king suddenly laughed. He raised his head and laughed continuously, unable to stop.

The master sighed, “Go, she must be waiting for you. You should go!”

A struggling expression suddenly appeared on the man’s face. Suddenly, the surrounding black mist slowly gathered again and Qin Tan guards the master as they retreated.

“What’s going on? Why do I feel like he is going to be the ghost king again?”

Everyone suddenly became nervous, and the junior team immediately surrounded the master. The master waved his hand and wanted to move forward, but is stopped by Lou Fan. Lou Fan looked at the master firmly and shook his head. The master smiled gently, but did not insist and continued to recite the scriptures.

“Stand guard first.” Qin Tan said and stuck 2 more immobilizing amulets on the evil ghost, hesitating whether to stick a Thunderbolt Amulet as well. But the evil ghost king broke free the next moment, it seems the immobilizing amulet doesn’t work either.

The ghost stretched out its hand and grabbed Yuan Jin, who is standing not far away. Then the ghost burst into laughter as if mocking the group for underestimating him.

The master sighed again and continued, “Since you are stubborn, don’t blame me. Originally, I wanted to save you because of your pitiful background and guide you to reincarnate, but you are unrepentant. Let go of the innocent in your hands.”

The evil ghost king didn’t listen at all and pinched Yuan Jin’s neck. They could even hear the sound of bones breaking.

“Ah Jin!” Dong Xu shouted, his voice sorrowful.

The master took out a golden bead from his pocket and held it up with his hands. The bead slowly floated into the air, and a dazzling golden light appeared in the air.

Seems like the master is going to release a big move!

Accompanied by the chanting of scriptures, Yuan Jin fell from the hands of the evil ghost king and collapsed to the ground softly. Looking at his condition, he probably is dead.

Shadow and human figure appear alternately in the ghost king, it is enough to see how powerful this golden bead is. Lou Fan pondered silently that without the key NPC, the Master, the Level 10 team would not even be able to complete their mission. Firstly, it would be impossible for them to seal the evil ghost king. They can’t even pull the human figure out of the huge shadow. Also, after pulling the figure out, the man can return to become the ghost king again.

The master here is the one with the ultimate killer move!

If the master is not protected well, the junior and intermediate teams will not be able to complete the task at all.

And so, with no suspense, the evil ghost king slowly separated from the shadow from the master’s chanting and returned to his human body again. Immediately after that, everyone saw the hideous face fade away and turned into a handsome man whose body gradually became transparent. A good-looking smile appeared at the corner of the man’s mouth, like a nice boy next door.

The man’s figure slowly became more transparent, and then dissipated into the air.

Finally, they finished off the ghost king!

Everyone immediately slumped to the ground, while Chen Changdong and Dong Xu ran to Yuan Jin’s side. Seeing that Yuan Jin is really dead, Dong Xu clenched his fists and thumped the ground. His fist hits the ground, making a loud sound.

Lou Fan sighed and turned his head away. When he saw his teammates who are all well, his brows relaxed again.

[1] Banana: Re-read it 3 times, but that’s what the raw said. I don’t get why Qin Tan need to catch the arrows lol.

[2] Banana: The master is implying that if the ghost is willing to be purified, it could still be reincarnated as a human in the next life. It seems weird to me, since the ghost has taken many lifes already _(;3/ but Banana is a free-thinker so not very sure how this works 😛

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Minor cliff alert. Jump at your own risk _(;3/

Chen Changdong: …

Chen Changdong felt like he is defeated by this team. People want life not money, but they want money instead of life, a’ight?! Everyone in that team, the moment they opened their mouth is to talk about points, why don’t they go out and rob instead?! No, this is a robbery, or should he say a daylight robbery! But, so what? He still has to obediently pull out his wallet and let others take it. Moreover, he has to say, “How much do you want? Just to take at will. If it’s not enough, I still have some here.”

Bah, why is his situation so pitiful?

Lou Fan quietly gave Chen Shuyang a thumbs up. He did a beautiful job. For their first business, they need to leave a good impression and not ask for too high a price. After all, their business reputation is not up there yet, so they can do this slowly. They can’t scare away their customers. These are long-term businesses.

Chen Changdong didn’t know what Lou Fan was thinking. But if he knew, he would probably vomit blood. Chen Shuyang’s asking price is not high indeed. It’s only 1,000 points. What can he buy with 1,000 points at Lazuli? Those items are nothing usable at moments like this, okay? So, with 1,000 points to buy a Yang Gathering Amulet, it can be considered that they got a bargain.

Chen Changdong accepted the offer and transferred the payment. Upon receiving the goods, he put the Yang Gathering Amulet in his bag. After thinking about it, he bought a few other amulets from Chen Shuyang. He wanted to keep them around just in case.

Chen Shuyang smiled so widely that his eyes cannot be seen anymore. Inside, he is secretly calculating the points he had earned. Now, he is also someone who can earn points. Selling charms to earns points, and he can draw a lot to sell too.

Earlier, Chen Shuyang was immersed in the great joy of the Lou Fan’s spirit weapon being upgraded, and now he has earned points for the team. Chen Shuyang can’t wait to act like a rich person, waving his hand and taking his teammates to eat a nice meal in a restaurant. But the reality is that they are trapped in the mall and can’t get out. Moreover, the people in the mall are very weird, and they don’t want to risk eating here. Chen Shuyang had a sense of melancholy that he suddenly made a fortune, but didn’t know how to spend it. It is really frustrating him to death.

…

On the 10th day of coming here, the 7th person who fell from the building died. He died in a tragic and terrifying state. During this period, Lou Fan has adapted to his upgraded bow and could shoot up to 3 spiritual arrows at a time, which he could control them. Moreover, every time he dealt with evil spirits, he could feel that the spiritual arrows had the function of purifying the spirits. Not sure if it is because he had an epiphany by relying on the master’s chanting of Buddhist scriptures, so that’s why there is a power of purification in it.

On the other hand, Lou Fan found 4 sets of attribute crystals, several other crystals, and 5 white crystals in the shopping mall, which can be said to be quite rewarding. And although the amulet drawn by Chen Shuyang is not as good as the one he exchanged with other passengers in Lazuli, it can be considered a substitute nonetheless.

After the 7th person fell from the building, the Level 10 team sealed the 7th evil spirit that appeared, and both teams began to nervously prepare for the final battle. Chen Changdong felt that his team is actually lucky this time. The fact that the junior team had 2 members with intermediate spirit weapons helped them a lot. It gave him a little more confidence to pass this mission world.

The master carried a bunch of his own things and followed both teams out of the staff lounge. They planned to go to the 5th floor and wait for the final evil spirit. After all, the yin aura is the thickest there every time.

Following behind, Lou Fan looked at the master’s casual and easy attitude. Then he remembered the master’s indifferent face before going out of the staff lounge. There seems to be an unusual feeling to it. He inadvertently glanced at the black watch on his wrist and suddenly paused. Looking at the back of the master’s head, Lou Fan got frightened by the unbelievable thought that came to his mind.

Their task is to prevent the death of the 8th person to fall and protect the eminent monk. Could it be that the master is the 8th person who is about to fall from the building? Therefore, their tasks seem to be made up of 2 different tasks, but they are actually the same task. If this is the case, then the importance of the master is self-evident.

Lou Fan shivered inexplicably from head to toe and his heart trembled from the chill. What happens when the master dies? Lou Fan didn’t dare to think about it, and immediately took a few steps forward, pulling Qin Tan back to speak. His serious expression made the other three members nervously lean over. After hearing Lou Fan’s thoughts, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

Wen Lang and Jiang Dong immediately walked up to the master’s side to stand guard.

Lou Fan discussed with Qin Tan that no matter what happens, protecting the master is the first priority. The evil ghost king is, in a sense, the Level 10 team’s task and they can help as much as they can if needed. However, the premise is that the evil ghost king will not seek trouble with the master. As long as they successfully prevent the evil ghost king from killing the master before the mission time ends, their task is completed.

Lou Fan silently counted in his heart that there are still 2 days left to go back to Lazuli. If they can’t kill the ghost king within these 2 days, will they be able to survive until the time to go back? If the ghost king is not killed, then the Level 10 team’s mission will definitely not be completed…

Lou Fan looked at the Level 10 team with a complicated gaze. This world is so cruel and one could only speak with their strength. If not enough strength, then their ending is to be obliterated.

…

While speaking, the group of people reached the circular atrium in the middle. Instantly, a thick yin aura burst out.

It’s coming!

With the weapons in their hands, everyone looked around vigilantly. The thick bloody smell blew out from all directions, making people feel like fainting from the stink. It is almost impossible to imagine how many people died to have such a strong bloody smell.

Chen Shuyang drew a lot of Yang Gathering Amulet, and everyone got one to stick on themselves. The white crystal lit up, and the surrounding area that was originally pitch black suddenly lit up. Everyone looked around, only to feel a sour sensation coming out of their chests, almost uncontrollably vomiting out.

It’s not an exaggeration to describe the surrounding scene as a bloody field. The mountain of corpses, the sea of blood, and the layers of corpses piled up on each other. It is almost impossible to make up a complete human shape (due to the corpse stacking up tightly).

“Have we arrived at the evil ghost’s lair?”

The master’s expression is calm, and he quickly puts up a setting. A yellow cloth is spread out on the ground. The fingernails and hair of the 7 dead people collected are put on it, as well as the glutinous rice from the 8 shops. With a shake of his plain robe, the eminent monk sat down. He clasped his hands together and started reciting Buddhist scriptures.

At that moment, everyone’s mind suddenly became much clearer, and ripples of power began to spread out in the air. One could even see the ripples as they hit something in the air and then disappeared.

They are trapped by the evil ghost king.

Lou Fan also shot a few spirit arrows to check and saw that the spirit arrows encountered the same obstacles. The ripples spread out, and the spirit arrows disappeared.

As if feeling their resistance, the corpses around them began to stagger and stand up. Then, they moved toward their group with bared teeth and claws.

“Be vigilant! Everyone spread out and don’t let these corpses injure you.” As the leader of the Level 10 team, Chen Changdong is one of the most experienced people here.

After a few quick reminders, Chen Changdong swung out with a flick of the fishing rod. It is hooked on a walking corpse, and the fishing line is wrapped around its neck. With a slight force, the head fell from the shoulder, and the walking corpse slowly fell down. One corpse down.

Seeing Chen Changdong’s movements, the other members of the team are not to be outdone. They quickly waved the spirit weapon in their hands and attacked the walking corpse.

Qin Tan whispered to his team members, “Don’t separate and try to stay together as much as possible. The most important thing is to protect the master. Pay attention to the situation around, the evil ghost king should appear soon.”

Everyone nodded. Wen Lang, Jiang Dong, and Chen Shuyang tightly surrounded the master who is sitting on the ground motionless as a mountain. Qin Tan and Lou Fan wandered around their team, dealing with the slowly approaching walking corpse.

Both their spirit weapons are intermediate level so it is easy for Qin Tan and Lou Fan to deal with this kind of walking corpse. Lou Fan’s spirit arrows are always shot 3 at a time. After the arrows are released, 3 walking corpses will fall to the ground at the same time. Lou Fan is like a reaper. Before the walking corpse is near, all of them got resolved by him. Qin Tan had no chance to act at all, so his attention turned to the master.

The group of people killed the corpse until their hands and feet felt weak but the walking corpses continued to stand up and approach from the back. The surroundings that were still bright earlier suddenly darkened. Next, the white crystal also declared the end of its usability. Suddenly, everyone fell into darkness.

For no reason, a gust of wind that caused palpitations blew, and Chen Shuyang’s hand that is going to stick a new Yang Gathering Amulet trembled. Immediately afterward, a slight ‘puchi’ sound can be heard and something fell to the ground. When he can see his surroundings clearly again, Chen Shuyang heard Liu Xing’s cry.

“Sister, sister… open your eyes! Team leader, please save my sister!” Liu Xing hugged Liu Yue’s body, which kept sliding down, and cried so hard.

Earlier, a gust of wind blew, and Liu Xing suddenly sensed something beside her. Then, before she could react, her elder sister beside her threw herself into her arms. Next, Liu Xing heard her sister gro.a.ned in pain, and her body fell limply.

“Live…” The voice as thin as a whisper said.

A big hole appeared in Liu Yue’s chest, and gushes of blood flowed out, staining her clothes red. Liu Xing cried as she tried to cover Liu Yue’s wound with her hand and her pale hand quickly get covered with blood. She only had one hand at the moment so she is supporting Liu Yue with her body, while her other injured arm helplessly wanted to do something.

“Sister, elder sister…Why do you want to save me?! Why are you always like this?!”

Chen Changdong stepped over in a few steps and took Liu Yue into his arms. This calm man had a dazed expression on his face at the moment. He hurriedly took out the medicine from his bag, but he couldn’t open it because his hands are shaking uncontrollably. After repeating it a few times, he finally opened it and desperately sprinkled the powder on Liu Yue’s chest.

Liu Yue struggled to open her eyes and saw the man’s pursed lips and tightened chin. She wanted to laugh and touch it with her hand, but she didn’t have the strength to raise her hand at all. She is so tired of struggling to live in this world, and she really wants to have a good night’s sleep. But she is reluctant, reluctant to part with Liu Xing. Liu Xing’s character is naive and reckless. Without her by her side, will it be difficult for Liu Xing to live on in the future? Also, Liu Yue is reluctant to part with this man. This man has a broad back and she always follows behind him. She does not feel afraid at all. However, she is so tired now that she wanted to close her eyes and sleep.

“Liu Yue, I won’t allow you to die!” Chen Changdong’s low voice seemed to be squeezed from between his gritted teeth.

Liu Yue looked at Chen Changdong and her lips moved, but she didn’t make a sound. She could only use all her strength to move her gaze to look at Liu Xing.

Chen Changdong’s face is terrifyingly gloomy, and he finally nodded, “I will help you to take care of Liu Xing.”

Liu Yue seemed to put down the most important thing from her shoulders. The corners of her mouth curved up. Closing her eyes, Liu Yue tilted her head and buried her head in Chen Changdong’s arms.

Chen Changdong’s arms hugged Liu Yue tightly. He lowered his head and touched her forehead with his own. He could feel her body temperature dropping slowly, and there seemed to be a metallic taste in his mouth.

He hasn’t told her yet that he has always liked her.

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Lou Fan is still reminiscing about the change in Qin Tan’s eyes and Qin Tan had already led his other members to the 5th floor. Their team had already gone to the 5th floor before and that’s where Chen Shuyang has seen a shop with a yellow amulet on it, so their first target is that shop.

Reaching the 5th floor, they can see that the whole floor is dark and filled with yin aura, but this time Chen Shuyang is not afraid at all. He pasted Yang Gathering amulets on the wall as he walked. The thick black yin aura began to slowly recede.

Wen Lang patted Chen Shuyang’s shoulder with a smile, “That’s great, Shuyang. This time, you can finally hold your head high and maximize the use of your strength. It’s too bad that your talent got buried before this.”

Chen Shuyang grimaced and rubbed his shoulders in pain, “Speak properly and don’t use actions. I’m a technical team member so don’t use force on me.”

Jiang Dong also laughed, “Yes, you are a technical team member, and your identity as the top student is going strong.”

Qin Tan looked around and found nothing unusual. Hearing the conversation, he also turned around to encourage Chen Shuyang, “Shuyang, you should practice hard. Practice makes perfect and you will reap greater benefits in the future.”

Chen Shuyang’s situation is like he has unlocked his skills. Before this, he thought his spirit weapon is weak but who dares to say this to him now. Chen Shuyang felt that his future is limitless. His spirit weapon can be used to deal with supernatural beings. As for physical attacks, he can exchange any weapons from Lazuli as long as they have points.

“I will definitely work hard.” Chen Shuyang scratched his head and added, “I will definitely contribute more to our team in the future.”

Although Chen Shuyang only knows a few spells now, but in the future, in other spiritual mission worlds, he will try to collect more information regarding spells. He will definitely find more spells and learn them for his own use.

Walking along the shop in Chen Shuyang’s memory, they soon saw a yellow amulet on the side wall of a shop. This yellow amulet seems to have been pasted for a long time as the color has faded. The yellow paper has faded to white while the cinnabar on it has lost its dark red luster. Wen Lang stuck his head out and peered in from the side. He could see a person inside with his head down and motionless. After observing for a long time, Wen Lang finally found a cloth bag in the corner. Like the eminent monk said, it should be the glutinous rice.

“Hey, shopkeeper.” Wen Lang called out.

Jiang Dong casually threw a small crystal he had at hand, just hitting the man’s lowered head. The man slowly raised his head. On the face of the middle-aged man, his pair of eyes is almost white, leaving only a little bit of pupil inside, and his complexion is deadly pale.

“Frick, why does this look like the zombies on TV?” Wen Lang widened his eyes, watching the man stand up and walk staggeringly towards them.

Qin Tan with Tang sword in hand, warned his team members, “Finish him right away, he should have been corroded by the yin aura. Be careful.”

The other members responded with acknowledgment. Chen Shuyang stood on the outermost side, ready to sneak in to get the glutinous rice when his team members are dealing with the shopkeeper. Wen Lang held the poker in his hand and took the position as the long-range attacker. Jiang Dong reached out and released the bandage, wrapping it around the shopkeeper. Probably because the man has been swallowed up by yin aura, the owner is very strong. He struggled hard to shake off the bindings, and the bandages seemed to be loosening.

Qin Tan’s figure flashed, and he immediately appeared at the owner’s side. Without hesitation, he swung down with the Tang sword in his hand…

Wen Lang, Jiang Dong, Chen Shuyang: …

Chen Shuyang was going to sneakily get the glutinous rice, but Brother Qin launched an attack, and the zombie shopkeeper instantly got chopped into 2 halves. All right, without saying anything, he stepped directly over the shopkeeper, then bent down and picked up the glutinous rice bag in the corner.

Wen Lang lazily put away his poker and said, “Brother Qin, the rest is left to you. There is no room for us to take action anymore!”

Qin Tan put away his Tang sword and swept his cold eyes towards Wen Lang, “I won’t take any actions after this, I’ll leave it to you three.”

Chen Shuyang took out the spear on his back and held it in his hand, “Okay, leave it to us, Brother Qin.”

Wen Lang wanted to cover Chen Shuyang’s mouth when he opened his mouth, but unfortunately, it didn’t work, the words had already been said. So, Wen Lang can only glare at Chen Shuyang, ‘Why are you talking nonsense?’

Jiang Dong walked over to Wen Lang and kicked him lightly, motioning him to shut up. Then he lifted his chin towards Qin Tan. Wen Lang didn’t dare to lift his head, pretended not to care. He put his hand on Chen Shuyang’s shoulder, acting like they are good brothers.

“Shuyang, you’re right. This kind of trivial matter should be left to us, there’s no need for Brother Qin to take action.”

Jiang Dong almost wanted to kneel by this man’s shameless character. He turned his head and saw Qin Tan half-smiling. So, Jiang Dong lets Wen Lang do whatever he wanted to do. The temperament of the 2 fools in their team is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It is not easy to find 8 shops with yellow amulets in such a large shopping mall, but they only spent some time looking for the shops. Fortunately, there is a lot of time, so they don’t need to be in a hurry. As for the zombie-like shopkeepers, Chen Shuyang found that even if he only used a long spear, he could attack as well. So he let go of his inhibitions and attacked. With Qin Tan watching from behind, he is not afraid at all.

…

Lou Fan is feeling bored with his duty and looked at his bow. He can’t understand, why didn’t his spirit weapon upgrade? In that kind of life-and-death situation, Qin Tan instead upgraded the spirit weapon to save him. As the main person in that situation, he almost died under the claws of a ghost but his spirit weapon didn’t even give a fart.

This is unscientific!

Is it because his physique is not as good as Qin Tan’s? Qin Tan did eat the one and only snake essence pill. It is possible that Qin Tan’s physique has improved higher than his. Lou Fan sighed, being behind Qin Tan makes him unhappy. Even though the other party had the closest relationship with him, he still felt unhappy because he is a level lower.

Suddenly, the sound of the master chanting scriptures sounded in the room. Lou Fan turned his head to look over and saw the master kneeling on the praying mat. One of his hands is positioned in front of his chest while the other hand is turning the beads, his eyes closed and his face serene. Obscure Sanskrit scriptures are being chanted, calming Lou Fan’s heart that was still a little anxious just now. He yawned and closed his eyes slowly.

It is dark all around and Lou Fan looked around, a piece of dead silence. Vaguely, there is a light spot in the distance so Lou Fan walked toward that light spot. However, after walking for a long time, the light spot is still so small and he is not getting nearer at all. Feeling a little anxious, Lou Fan accelerated his steps. There seemed to be something binding him in the darkness. He only felt that his hands and feet are bound. Gradually, something wrapped around his body, binding him tightly. Soon, he couldn’t breathe.

“Huff huff huff…”

Lou Fan is breathing heavily, like a fish thrown ashore, about to suffocate. Then, he heard someone reciting something. The whispers went into his ears, and his thoughts that were almost cut off just now gradually became clearer.

When the heart and mind are clear, there is no need to seek for enlightenment.

When the heart and mind are clear, there is no need to seek for enlightenment.

When the heart and mind are clear, there is no need to seek for enlightenment.

In a trance, a sentence got into Lou Fan’s mind, and a sudden burst of light appeared in his mind. It slowly expanded, and the light instantly dispelled the darkness. It is as if he is thrown back into the water again, and his breathing became smoother…

Lou Fan opened his eyes and found out that he is still inside the staff lounge. He turned his head and looked at the master who smiled kindly at him. Then, he felt some heat on the palm of his hand. Looking down, he realized that the bow he held in his hand is emitting an orange-red light.

…

When Chen Changdong and his team members returned with their tired bodies, they saw the bow in Lou Fan’s hand, and the whole team felt terrible. They only went out for a moment so how could this person’s spirit weapon get upgraded suddenly? There’s only Lou Fan and the master in the lounge, and the rest of the junior team are still outside looking for glutinous rice, so how did the spirit weapon gets upgraded?

No matter how one looks at it, it feels unbelievable.

Just as Chen Changdong is about to speak, Qin Tan and the others returned to the staff lounge. When they pushed the door open, Lou Fan turned to look at them with joy.

“What’s wrong with you, Brother Lou? Why is your smile so wretched?” Wen Lang saw Lou Fan’s smile and felt a chill. Chen Shuyang is too tired to speak, so he sat down and gasped for air as he looked at them.

Qin Tan noticed the difference immediately, and asked in surprise, “Your spirit weapon has been upgraded?”

Lou Fan nodded and waved the bow in his hand. It is exuding a warm orange glow, a nice sight to see. “Master was chanting scripture and I had a dream. After that, my bow got upgraded.” He pointed to his bow.

Chen Changdong didn’t know what to say anymore. Such a big thing but it sounded simple like it’s just a dream when Lou Fan said it.

So infuriating!

The other members other than Qin Tan finally reacted at this time. They don’t care about rest anymore and surrounded Lou Fan to look at the bow.

“My God, I worked so hard to kill zombies, but I don’t see mine getting a level up?”

Chen Shuyang also felt wronged as he said, “My arm hurts from attacking with my spear the whole day.”

On the other side, Jiang Dong is a little speechless as well. He probably used his bandage for dozens of meters already. But did he say anything? He didn’t!

Chen Changdong’s team members are feeling even more aggrieved. It wasn’t easy for them to make a living under the evil spirits but they saw nobody getting an upgrade! Only Chen Changdong looked at Lou Fan while thinking in his heart, he didn’t expect that in this junior team, there are someone besides Qin Tan who also improved their physique. He remembered that Lou Fan should be a level lower than Qin Tan. This junior team, what actually happened to them? What mission worlds do they go to and what kind of fateful encounters have they got?

Lou Fan had to appease his teammates and then announced that he will try out his upgraded spirit weapon tomorrow to see what difference it has from the previous bow. Hence, it would be more appropriate to let Chen Shuyang guard the master instead. Qin Tan agreed and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Lou Fan’s spirit weapon being upgraded can be considered a lot of relief. As for the others, It really depends on their fate. A life-or-death moment or an epiphany, not everyone can get it.

These words came from Chen Changdong’s mouth. Of course, Chen Changdong himself knew best that this kind of thing could not be forced. Telling his teammates to sit down and get some rest, he went over to congratulate Lou Fan, and Lou Fan also politely said a few words.

“It’s all thanks to Team leader Chen for imparting the knowledge to us. Otherwise, we may not encounter such an opportunity. Maybe the master’s chanting scriptures will only make me drowsy.”

This is just Lou Fan being polite and Chen Changdong repeatedly said that Lou Fan has this ability himself to start with; quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

Since their team has used the Yang Gathering Amulet for today, Chen Changdong planned to ask the master to give them some more. However, this time he didn’t know what is going on. The master turned a deaf ear to his words, just like the first time.

Chen Shuyang is listening on the side. The master is now his master, which he thought so in his heart. He said to Chen Changdong, “Team leader Chen, maybe the master has limited energy. You must know that drawing amulets is also very labor-intensive. How about this? If you don’t mind, I will give you some that I have drawn?”

Since the master didn’t respond to him, Chen Changdong was thinking about the possibility of relying on only the white crystal to the B2 floor to seal the evil spirits when Chen Shuyang gave him a solution. He has forgotten that there is a BUG[1] here called Chen Shuyang.

“It would be great if this little brother could help.”

Chen Changdong’s team also saw how Lou Fan used Chen Shuyang’s Yang Gathering Amulet before. Although the effect is not as good as the master’s amulets, it still had half of the master’s power. It’ll be fine with extra few more amulets.

With a smile, Chen Shuyang tore off several Yang Gathering Amulets he had drawn from his spirit book and handed them to Chen Changdong, “I will charge you only 1,000 points per piece. This is a friendship price. Welcome to visit me again.”

[1] Banana: It means Chen Shuyang has OP powers that is not supposed to happen in normal setting, not that Chen Changdong is scolding him or saying that he is an insect (if it is not obvious enough). I’m not sure if there is an english-equivalent for this word so do tell me if you know.

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Liu Xing lost an arm. Bright red blood flowed out from the decapitated part and the arm is on the ground not far away. Liu Xing covered her arm, her face is pale without a tint of blood.

Liu Yue’s expression is full of anxiety. She hurriedly took out the medicinal powder from her bag and sprinkled it on the wound. Then, she took out a bandage and wrapped it around the wound. As for Liu Xing, she is in too much pain to say anything.

Liu Yue: “Team leader, Liu Xing is hurt too badly, I…” She pursed her lips and looked at Chen Changdong with an embarrassed expression.

Chen Changdong looked at Liu Xing and asked, “Liu Xing, can you hold on? If not, let’s go back first.” That’s what he said, but they would lose this opportunity to seal the ghost, as well as the white crystal they specially collected, so it’s not worth it to leave now.

Liu Xing seemed to be sensible all of a sudden. She bit her lip and took a deep breath, her voice weak but firm, “No need, team leader. I can still hold on. You guys go to seal the ghost first, don’t waste time.” After speaking, she looked firmly at Liu Yue.

Liu Yue understood the meaning in Liu Xing’s eyes. Enduring her emotions, she said to Chen Changdong, “Team leader, Liu Xing is right. Let’s seal the evil spirit first.”

It is rare for Liu Xing to be sensible. No matter what, she is a member of his team. Chen Changdong also felt very relieved. He comforted her with a few words and asked her to follow the team closely. They have to be careful, it would be even more dangerous if she is left alone here to rest.

Liu Yue supported Liu Xing and followed behind the team. She asked in a low voice, “Xiao Xing, how are you feeling? Does it hurt a lot?” Her voice is choked, she looked more uncomfortable than Liu Xing who lost an arm. It is her failure to protect Xiao Xing that caused Xiao Xing to suffer.

“Sister, I’m fine.” Liu Xing calmed down and smiled bitterly, “Sister, don’t blame yourself. It’s not your responsibility to protect me. I can’t hide behind you all the time and let you protect me from danger.”

Before, Liu Xing had been reluctant to face the reality and wanted to hide behind her sister, but the world is so dangerous. She could see that Lou Fan is also very powerful, but once caught by the evil spirit, even he lost a chunk of his flesh. If she also met with danger in the future and ended up dragging her sister behind, neither of them would survive in the end.

The team of 5 people moved a lot faster this time. When they found the coffin, they quickly shoved the evil spirit inside. No matter how hard it struggled, Chen Changdong swiftly slapped the sealing amulet and immediately waved everyone to evacuate.

The wound on Liu Xing’s arm is too large and still bleeding. The yang aura in the white crystal has almost dissipated. Even the Yang Gathering Amulet not far away, is looking dim with only a little light left. It is about to be swallowed up by the yin aura. The team didn’t dare to delay any longer and immediately ran towards the stairs. Because Liu Xing is injured, Dong Xu carried her on his back and ran to the exit without saying a word.

When they reached the wall where the Yang Gathering Amulet is stuck, the white crystal in their hands stopped glowing like a light bulb that suddenly went out. The Yang Gathering Amulet also went out immediately. The entire B2 floor fell into darkness again, and gusts of chilly wind is roaring from behind.

Back on the 1st floor, the team of 5 people breathed a sigh of relief. The eerie wind just now seemed to want to swallow them all. Their current appearance is a bit sad as they returned to the lounge while supporting Liu Xing.

In the lounge, except for Qin Tan, who is on vigil duty, everyone else is asleep. Hearing the sound, he immediately opened his eyes vigilantly and looked towards the door, only to find that the Level 10 team has returned. Hearing the sound, Wen Lang and Chen Shuyang only changed their sleeping pose and continued to sleep. Jiang Dong, on the other hand, moved his stiff neck and got up to check Lou Fan’s wound. Checking that there is nothing wrong, he went back to the wall which he was leaning on earlier and continued to sleep.

Lou Fan also woke up. He looked at Liu Xing who is being helped in with a deadly pale face. Seeing that she lost an arm, Lou Fan immediately called Jiang Dong. Jiang Dong is a doctor after all. As their teams are getting along pretty well, they couldn’t just watch by the side when someone is suffering from such a terrible wound.

Jiang Dong got up again. He walked to Liu Xing and squatted down. Taking off the bandage that Liu Yue had wrapped up before, he checked the wound and frowned. Suddenly, someone handed a set of simple tools to him. He looked up and saw Liu Yue’s nervous look. Jiang Dong accepted the tools and took out the surgical blade and disinfectant from it. First, he removed the rotten flesh around the wound. The area that got scratched by ghosts is already turning faintly black. Next, he sprayed the area with disinfectant. The disinfectant irritated the wound, causing Liu Xing to exhale in a low voice. But she gritted tightly on her lips, causing bloody teeth marks on her lips.

Liu Yue watched Jiang Dong’s neat and meticulous movements. Her mouth moved, but she didn’t say anything. After Jiang Dong finished cleaning the wound, she handed the medicine in her hand to him and explained the effect of the medicine. She saw Jiang Dong look at the medicine bottle silently for a few seconds and then looked at Lou Fan. However, he didn’t say anything and sprinkled it on Liu Xing’s wound before wrapping it with a bandage.

On the side, Qin Tan heard what Liu Yue said about the effect of the medicine – stopping bleeding and promoting muscle growth. Right now, Lou Fan’s leg has only stopped bleeding. They didn’t bring high-level medicine this time, so it is just a basic medicine and doesn’t have extra functions like muscle growth. At this moment, Qin Tan feels a little regretful that they didn’t exchange for better medicine.

“Team leader Chen, can we discuss something?” Qin Tan asked Chen Changdong.

Chen Changdong looked up at Qin Tan and immediately said, “You can say it.”

“Can you give me a bit of your medicine?” Qin Tan then added, “I will give you points for it and you can double the price.”

A small bottle of this medicine needs 10,000 points to redeem at Lazuli, which is considered expensive in the eyes of ordinary people. But Qin Tan doesn’t care even if the price is tripled or quadrupled.

Chen Changdong is stunned for a moment by the question. Then, he suddenly remembered that Lou Fan is currently injured and he forgot to offer the medicine to them. Though Qin Tan caught an evil ghost for Lou Fan’s sake, but Qin Tan only went there at his request, which is a big help to them. Chen Changdong smiled stiffly and immediately took out the wound medicine. Handed it to Qin Tan, he said, “Don’t say that, Team leader Qin. Please take it to heal Lou Fan’s injury. I was busy dealing with evil spirits earlier and forgot to take it out.”

Qin Tan nodded and took it, thanked him very politely. He didn’t think it is wrong for Chen Changdong to not take out the medicine. After all, medicines are scarce items. For example, this time they prepared too little and were not detailed enough. He handed the medicine to Jiang Dong and said, “Change the medicine for Lou Fan.”

Jiang Dong took the medicine and immediately went to attend to Lou Fan’s wound. The effect of this medicine is indeed much better than what they brought. Jiang Dong regretted that he didn’t study the medicine category well. You get what you pay for.

When the bandage on Lou Fan’s calf is taken off by Jiang Dong, he can see that the blood had stopped long ago, but the wound is still a hole with a large piece of flesh missing, which looked horrible. Jiang Dong cleaned the wound again before applying the medicine. The wound started to recover slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the newly grown flesh inside could be seen clearly. Lou Fan thought in his heart that this medicine is incredible, and Lazuli’s power is sure going against the sky (overpowered). If this medicine is brought back to his world, it is conceivable how much sensation it will cause.

Qin Tan walked over and looked at Lou Fan’s wound. After that, he let Jiang Dong bandage it, and looked directly at Lou Fan, “Have a good rest and don’t think about running around.”

Lou Fan, who is thinking about being able to move freely tomorrow: …

Hey, don’t discriminate against the wounded like that. He will be fine tomorrow morning.

Lou Fan raised his head and looked at Qin Tan, deliberately showing a pitiful look, “Team leader Qin, if I can walk with no problem tomorrow, I can run around everywhere, right? Isn’t the flesh already fully grown now?”

Qin Tan didn’t look at Lou Fan’s expression, and insisted coldly, “No, you have to take another day off, there is no more discussion for this.”

Tsk, acting pitiful doesn’t work. You can’t ask him to perform a live show of acting coquettishly here, right?

After the 2 wounded people are treated, the Level 10 team members went to the side to rest. Everyone is tired from running around all day and exhausted that they fell asleep within 2 minutes. For a while, the staff lounge became quiet at night except for the sound of breathing and occasional snoring.

…

Lou Fan stepped on the ground and jumped on the spot a few times. His calf is back to normal as before, and there is no difference at all. It is impossible to know that his calf has almost turned into a skeleton state yesterday.

Early in the morning, the eminent monk assigned them tasks. They are to go to the shop with the yellow amulet stuck to its wall and pick up a bag of glutinous rice that he had placed in it in advance. This is the prop he will use to deal with the last ghost, the evil ghost king.

“Wait, why is there a ghost king?” Wen Lang said. “The evil ghosts are hard enough to deal with.”

Their task is to protect the monk and prevent the 8th person from falling from the building. But because the eminent monk is going to deal with the evil ghosts, it means that they have to deal with evil ghosts as well. A battle is inevitable. Suddenly, they are told that a ghost king will appear, which is not a good thing to hear.

The eminent monk chanted the Buddha’s name and said, “The last evil ghost, the ghost king is the embodiment of the yin aura of the 7 evil ghosts gathered together. If the 8th person’s sacrifice is obtained, it will eventually become a serious problem. Therefore, we must prevent the 8th person from falling from the building and dying. I figured out that the evil ghost king will definitely act on the night of the lunar eclipse so everyone must be vigilant.”

After the monk said this, everyone understood that if all 7 evil ghosts are sealed, the evil ghost king would appear. And if they don’t manage to seal the 7 ghosts, they will face the 8th evil ghost together. The level 10 team will have to try to seal all 8 ghosts at the same time too[1]. This sounds like an impossible task. It is better to seal all 7 ghosts and then 2 teams work together to deal with the evil ghost king, then there is a chance for them to win.

The next day, Qin Tan did not allow Lou Fan to participate in the operation and asked him to guard the eminent monk, intending to take Chen Shuyang out instead.

“Isn’t Shuyang going to learn spells from the master? I’m still waiting for the time when we return to Lazuli to sell them for points.” Lou Fan asked.

Hearing that, Chen Shuyang looked frustrated and aggrieved, “The master said that he has already taught me everything he can teach, and asked me to practice drawing these 5 types of spells. No matter what I say, he will not teach me any more.”

Qin Tan: “This should be Lazuli’s rule. It won’t make Shuyang’s spirit weapon too powerful so there is a restriction.”

Lou Fan is helpless. This simply cut off his back path and prevented him from following the team’s task today. Looking at the 4 pairs of eyes giving him a look of disapproval, Lou Fan could only compromise. He waved his hand, “Don’t look at me like that. You guys go ahead and I’ll be the master’s bodyguard today.” After a pause, he instructed, “Be careful and take care of Shuyang. He is my treasure.”

Chen-Treasure-Shuyang turned to look at Qin Tan nervously, giving him a look that says, ‘Team leader, he is talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously!’

Qin Tan glared at Lou Fan and went out with the other team members. When he walked to the door, he turned back and said, “Watch the master properly, and you should rest well. It’s best not to go out of this door.”

Those eyes looked a little cold, and Lou Fan could probably see what it meant – If you dared to go out and run around, I’ll deal with you after I come back.

Lou Fan squinted at Qin Tan’s back as he walked out. He had a feeling that Qin Tan has become a little different after he got injured yesterday. Lou Fan felt a little weak at the knee from Qin Tan’s gaze

[1] Banana: Re-read it a few times because the author sounded like he/she is rambling. Banana figured that the entire paragraph is written to get more money from the word count. ==

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

What shocked the Level 10 team is that Qin Tan’s spirit weapon got upgraded. Chen Changdong thought about it for a while and figured it out. No wonder when he said that one’s physique had to improve first, he felt that their expressions looked a bit wrong. So it is because of this. To have improved his physique just at Level 5, and now his spirit weapon has also been upgraded. This person’s potential is too high.

The other members of the Level 10 team are also surprised at one thing. Before this when they dealt with the evil spirits, their team leader’s fishing line is broken, and Ma Ming died. But Qin Tan wasn’t injured at all, and he also dealt with the evil spirit. Lou Fan’s injury looked serious, but to them, as long as it isn’t fatal, it is considered a minor injury. Therefore, there is also a distinction between spirit weapons.

On the other side, this ‘lightly injured patient’ in their eyes now seems to have suffered a fatal injury. Surrounded by the rest of his team members, they keep asking if he is alright and medicines are sprinkled on his leg like it’s free.

This is the first time Wen Lang saw Lou Fan getting such a serious injury. His hands and feet turned stiff, and he didn’t know where to start to help. Jiang Dong pushed him aside so Wen Lang only squatted down pitifully at the side, frowning.

After applying the medicine to his leg, Lou Fan felt much better. Looking at Wen Lang’s acting like a ‘pitiful young daughter-in-law’, he teased him, “Wen Lang, don’t cry. Otherwise, people will think that I wronged you. Then, I won’t be able to explain myself.”

Wen Lang stared at Lou Fan more resentfully, “Brother Lou, who am I worried for? You still tease me?”

The hand bandaging Lou Fan’s wound suddenly exerted force and Lou Fan hissed. Jiang Dong expressionlessly said, “Your leg is still injured, how do you plan to wrong anyone? Already got caught by the evil spirit but still, you are not being careful. If Qin Tan hadn’t come in to find you, can you make it out alive? Fortunately, I am a surgeon. In case you are not careful next time, like breaking a leg or something, I can help you too.”

Lou Fan bared his teeth. Those who didn’t know will think that Jiang Dong is helping Wen Lang to take revenge. Can you hear that scolding? Lou Fan sighed, “It’s not my fault. No matter how light my body feels or how fast I run, my spirit arrow is not powerful enough. It can’t hurt the evil spirit, what can I do?”

Lou Fan felt wronged too! He almost thought he couldn’t come out alive. Also, he didn’t dare to say that the reason why he almost got caught in the trap is because he saw Qin Tan.

Jiang Dong pursed his lips and didn’t speak anymore. It’s really hard to say about spirit weapons. He can’t simply say that it’ll be fine when his spirit weapon got upgraded. Who knows when they will be upgraded?

Qin Tan, who is squatting beside Lou Fan, squeezed his hand and said, “Don’t worry, there will always be a way to upgrade. We can try other methods.”

This time, Qin Tan got lucky and managed to arrive in time. Next time they are forced to separate, what would they do if the other person is in danger? Hence, the first important thing is to find a way to upgrade their spirit weapon.

Wen Lang nodded and agreed. Even Lou Fan met with such a dangerous opponent, Wen Lang himself is not as powerful as Lou Fan. So he has to hurry up and find a way to upgrade. There will always be times when he is alone and can only rely on himself.

The time is late so the team wanted to downstairs first. When Chen Changdong walked up to Qin Tan, he saw Qin Tan carrying Lou Fan on his back. Then he said in a negotiating tone, “Team leader Qin, I wonder if you can go to the B2 floor with us? You don’t need to do anything. We just hope that you can help out in case something happens. If nothing happens, you can consider it as accompanying us for a walk. Don’t worry, we can pay in points.” Chen Changdong doesn’t sound confident when he said that.

But Qin Tan answered coldly, “We have a wounded member in our team, so I’m afraid I can’t accompany Team leader Chen on this trip. You have the master’s amulet and the white crystal in your hands, so you should be fine.”

Their team is a Level 10 team, so it’s impossible that they don’t have any life-saving items in their hands.

Since Qin Tan refused firmly, Chen Changdong couldn’t say anything else. They are already a Level 10 team. If they insisted on a Level 5 passenger[1] to help, then it would be a shame on their team.

When the group is back on the 1st floor, the evil spirit entangled in the fishing line began to struggle violently. Fortunately, the fishing line is strong enough. Without further delay, Chen Changdong took out a stick of incense from his bag and it looked very ordinary. After lighting it, he swished by in front of the evil spirits. The evil spirits who were struggling just now suddenly stopped moving. Chen Changdong handed the incense to Liu Yue and instructed her to take it. The smoke wafting from the incense formed a thin line in the air, and evil ghosts lined up. They walked a few steps in front of Liu Yue along the thin line and stopped.

Lou Fan stared at the other team’s equipment, which looked much better than the ghost whip in his hand. Other people’s items can do group attacks, while his item can only do a single attack. The difference is just that big. Lou Fan glanced at his injured leg. If he is not injured, he could help out with the Level 10 team. Maybe, he could trick 2 sticks of this incense from them, then that would be great. Unfortunately, he is now an injured person!

How irritating!

When Chen Changdong is ready, he took his team members and said goodbye to the junior team. After that, the group of 5 people went to the B2 floor.

When Lou Fan is carried into the lounge by Qin Tan, Chen Shuyang got stunned for a moment. Next, he immediately jumped up and asked, “Brother Lou, what’s the matter with you?” He looked down and saw a layer of gauze wrapped around Lou Fan’s feet. Quickly, he helped Lou Fan down from Qin Tan and supported him to sit down.

Seeing the anxious look on Chen Shuyang’s face, Lou Fan is about to speak when Wen Lang opened his mouth and started talking about what he knew. Of course, he could only briefly tell the others about what happened to Lou Fan, but he could also feel the danger from that.

Lou Fan accepted the glass of water from Qin Tan and listened to Wen Lang’s story as if it is someone else’s story. He heard it with gusto and wished he had a plate of melon seeds so he could eat while listening.

After listening to Wen Lang’s words, Chen Shuyang blamed himself, “If only I could draw more spells with other effects, then maybe Brother Lou won’t be hurt. That’s the least I can do to help a little bit.”

Lou Fan stopped Chen Shuyang immediately, “Don’t blame yourself. How can you put everything on yourself? Your Yang Gathering Amulet has helped a lot, but you’re right about continuing the lesson. Learn a little bit more, we give our full support for that. You are a man who is going to be our money tree. Go and learn a few more amulets, it is best if you could learn all of them. In this way, we will not be so worried about you when we go to other spiritual mission worlds in the future.”

Chen Shuyang pondered for a while, then clenched his fists. He assured, “Don’t worry, Brother Lou. I will definitely learn more, and try to learn everything that the masters know. Even if I can’t learn it, I will bring some materials back to study for myself.”

Lou Fan nodded quickly and agreed.

…

With the Yang Gathering Amulet and the white crystal given by the master, the Level 10 team felt a lot more confident. Walking down the stairs to the B2 floor, Chen Changdong put the Yang Gathering Amulet in his hand and prepared to stick it at the entrance later, so as not to get lost on the B2 floor. The white crystal is held in his hand to block the yin aura. He also had a Bagua mirror in his hand, and he gave it to Liu Yue to hold. She is carrying the incense so if the evil spirits break away, she would be the first to be injured.

Liu Yue took the Bagua mirror and held it in her hand, pursing her lips.

Chen Changdong whispered a few words of reminder before taking a deep breath. Then, he led the team into the B2 floor again. He turned around and stuck the Yang Gathering Amulet on the wall, and the white crystal in his hand gradually shone with a little white light. The overhead light slowly changed from a dim light spot to a normal lighting brightness. Then, the entire B2 floor appeared dimly in front of them.

Walking at the back, Liu Yue gently pulled Liu Xing’s hand and stuck the Bagua mirror into her palm. Seeing that Liu Xing turned her head to see her and is about to speak, Liu Yue pushed her lightly and raised a finger to her lips to signal Liu Xing to keep quiet.

Liu Xing fixed a glance at her older sister and squeezed the mirror in her hand tightly. Then she paused at her steps and waited for her sister to catch up before walking again.

Though the yin aura of the B2 floor has been dissipated, the light is still not very good. Not sure if it is the standard configuration of the haunted atmosphere or something else, the lights are too dim. They flicker from time to time, fitting the horror atmosphere just right.

Liu Xing held her breath. Even her feet are soft, but she doesn’t dare to make a sound. This time, she didn’t dare to reach out and grab anyone’s hands for fear that if she caught something strange again. Then she would frighten herself to death first. Though she had experienced several supernatural worlds, this kind of shock still challenges her psychological endurance.

The space on the B2 floor is very large. Chen Changdong could only choose one direction to go. Thinking that there are 8 coffins placed on this floor, they are bound to meet one no matter which direction.

The yin aura is too heavy, and the strands of yang aura stored in the white crystal are dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye. Chen Changdong got a little anxious for a while. They must settle this as soon as possible, and he cannot lose any more team members.

Not far away, they saw a rectangular-shaped thing. Chen Changdong is overjoyed because they found a coffin. He raised his hand to signal the others then immediately accelerated his pace and walked over there. Afraid of unexpected situations happening, Chen Changdong slowed down as he approached the coffin, his actions cautious. The coffin is closed so Chen Changdong beckoned Yuan Jin and Dong Xu to come and help. The two stood on the edge of the coffin and nodded to Chen Changdong to indicate that they are ready. Chen Changdong silently counted and raised his fingers.

1, 2, 3!

The lid of the coffin fell to the ground with a bang but Chen Changdong didn’t even look at it. He is staring at the inside of the coffin. It is empty and there is nothing inside. Chen Changdong breathed a sigh of relief and took the incense from Liu Yue. With the item, he directed one of the evil spirits into the coffin. Just as he is about to ask Yuan Jin and Dong Xu to close the lid, the evil ghost that has returned to the coffin suddenly opened its eyes. Its scarlet eyes seemed to be dripping with blood in the darkness.

Yuan Jin and Dong Xu’s hands trembled and almost couldn’t hold the lid properly. After they realized that the ghost is breaking away, they immediately wanted to put the lid on the coffin but the evil spirit struggled fiercely. Seeing that it is about to break free from the fishing line in the next second, Chen Changdong pounced on the coffin lid and held it down. After that, he took out the sealing amulet from his pocket and slapped it down.

The coffin is sealed tight as if it is nailed down with a nail. The evil spirit struggled inside, but couldn’t shake it open at all. After a while, there is no movement inside. The 5 people nervously breathed a sigh of relief.

Dong Xu tapped the coffin lid with a smile, “It’s useless to struggle, don’t waste your energy.”

Yuan Jin wiped away the sweat on his forehead and spat at Dong Xu, “Whose face turned white from fright just now?”

Dong Xu snorted and turned his head to look at Liu Xing, who is laughing softly. He suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, “Liu Xing, get out of the way!”

Hearing that, Liu Yue responded quickly. She grabbed Liu Xing and they squatted down. Next, she slashed out with a wave of her folding fan. Liu Xing also reacted. She happened to see the evil ghost behind her half-breaking away from the fishing line. Its claws wrapped in yin aura are about to catch Liu Yue. She bit her lip, took out the Bagua mirror, and blocked it in front of Liu Yue.

The ghostly claw slashed at her arm, and a scream burst out from her mouth.

“AHH!”

Chen Changdong immediately threw out his fishing line. While the evil spirit is stunned by the Bagua mirror, he quickly tied the evil spirit around. This is the evil ghost he caught before. The evil ghost that Qin Tan knocked down has been sealed in the coffin earlier.

[1] This is the first time I see the author addressed the people in Lazuli. So they are ‘passengers’ lol.

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Since their target has appeared, everyone puts away their laughter and immediately picks up their spirit weapon. As an archer, Lou Fan is a good player in long-range attacks. He picked up his bow without blinking and shot the spiritual arrows one after another. The arrows flew into the dark and got engulfed, one doesn’t know if it hits anything or not.

The Level 10 team watched from the side, thinking that Lou Fan would stop shooting soon. After all, there are restrictions on spirit weapons’ usage. No matter how many spiritual arrows he has, he can’t keep shooting out like this. His actions just now were as fierce as a tiger, and he already shot dozens of the spiritual arrows. However, Lou Fan didn’t mean to stop at all. He simply changed direction and continued to shoot, shifting to left and right.

Liu Yue is a little worried. As Wen Lang is just half a step ahead of her, thinking that the junior team seemed nice to talk with, Liu Yue asked, “Will it be too wasteful for Mr. Lou to use his spiritual arrow like this?”

No matter how many spiritual arrows there are, it can’t stand letting Lou Fan shoot unlimited like this. Long-range attack weapons are very useful weapons, but unlike their melee weapons, which can be used casually, arrows are consumable items.

Hearing the question, Wen Lang answered in a nonchalant tone, “Brother Lou’s spiritual arrows are unlimited, he can shoot at will.”

Wen Lang only said it lightly, but he didn’t know that everyone in the Level 10 team heard it. Next, everyone’s gaze at Lou Fan changed.

What is the concept of unlimited spiritual arrows? It is equivalent to people taking a red potion to recover blood while he is shooting arrows. Then, people are taking a blue potion to recover mana but he is still shooting arrows. When people are meditating to recover blood, he hasn’t stopped shooting arrows…[1]

This ability is a bit overpowered, how can a spirit weapon be like this? They are all at level 10 and yet, they have never heard of such ability before. Moreover, this junior team doesn’t only have this abnormal person, there is also another one who can use a ballpoint pen[2] to draw amulets on his spirit weapon book which actually works. Where can they seniors put their faces?!

Probably from being shot too many times by Lou Fan’s spiritual arrows, the black mass got separated from the darkness again. This time, the Level 10 team immediately picked up their weapons and swarmed the black mass, not letting it run away again.

But can the evil spirit be so easy to catch?

Yuan Jin and Dong Xu rushed to the front but they got injured by the evil spirit not long after, and their bodies are covered in wounds. Wen Lang and Jiang Dong immediately caught up, but they are both long-range players so they couldn’t get too close. Liu Yue and Liu Xing are girls after all, and their weapons are not that powerful. Still, they persisted in attacking in front, with little success, however. After that, with Qin Tan joined in, it immediately relieved their pressure. Qin Tan’s strength is strong, and he can injure the black mass with every slash. It can be seen that the recovery of the slash is getting slower and slower.

At the back, Lou Fan shoots arrows at every turn. He has his back to the corridor, which is as black as thick ink behind him. All of a sudden, Lou Fan felt a breath of coolness behind him. He is about to turn around immediately, but the black mist instantly wrapped him and pulled him inward. Lou Fan immediately took out the radish flower from his trouser pocket and shredded it, but it is useless! A grip at his shoulder gave him so much pain but he endured it and he shot backward with a backhand motion. Spiritual arrows didn’t need much force to be shot so Lou Fan gritted his teeth and shot an arrow. His shoulders loosened, and when he turned around, Lou Fan couldn’t see anyone around anymore. It is pitch black all around.

Without a wall to stick on, Lou Fan took out Chen Shuyang’s amulet from his pocket and patted it on his backpack instead. A faint light lit up but the diameter of the lighted area is only about 2 meters. Lou Fan breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, he felt a little headache about how to return to the other members.

…

Seeing that Lou Fan got dragged away, Qin Tan turned around and chased after him. The black mist instantly surrounded Lou Fan. When Qin Tan reached out, he caught nothing. So, he lifted his footsteps and immediately caught up, walking into the darkness.

“Team leader Qin!” Chen Changdong shouted, but he is unable to stop Qin Tan’s footsteps. He knew how powerful the black fog is. Before that, Ma Ming didn’t even have the time to struggle and already died tragically.

“Brother Lou, Brother Qin!” Wen Lang shouted but neither of them can be seen anymore. He turned his head to look at Jiang Dong instead. Jiang Dong frowned as he said, “Take care of the evil spirits first, it’s useless for us to go in.”

Wen Lang is a little indecisive now, so he nodded at Jiang Dong’s words, a poker flew out of his hand. Jiang Dong’s hand didn’t stop either, the bandages wrapped around the evil ghost almost making it into a mummy.

Trapping the evil spirit, Chen Changdong immediately rolled back the fishing line. To be safe, he used the fishing line to circle the evil spirit a few times. An intermediate spirit weapon is different from a primary spirit weapon. The moment his fishing line entangled around the evil spirit, it is immediately tied up and unable to move.

The remaining 7 people turned to look into the depths of the darkness.

…

Qin Tan walked into the darkness but he could not see anything around him, only his Tang sword is emitting a white layer of light. However, he is very calm, and shouted as he walked, “Lou Fan, Lou Fan! Where are you?”

Qin Tan’s voice is loud, but he didn’t hear the slightest response, as if he is the only one left in this space. Slashing in the air with his Tang sword, he could even feel the sensation of the black mist being split open. Slashing out tirelessly, Qin Tan chopped as he walked forward persistently.

…

Lou Fan moved forward, and suddenly he heard someone calling him. He turned his head but saw nothing. When he turned back again, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared just before the tip of his nose, startling him. Lou Fan is about to shoot an arrow when the pair of eyes retracted into the darkness.

Frick, what the hell was that?! A ghost that is out to scare people?

After taking a few steps forward again, Lou Fan suddenly saw a figure in the distance facing away from him. That familiar figure, who else if not Qin Tan? Lou Fan immediately became happy and ran forward, shouting, “Qin Tan, I’m here!”

But when Lou Fan is reaching the figure, he suddenly slowed down and shot an arrow tentatively. Anyway, if it is really Qin Tan, the spiritual arrow would not be able to hit anything. That moment when the spiritual arrow shot into the back of that figure, there seemed to be a low growl in Lou Fan’s ear. The figure turned around, and Lou Fan suddenly shouted curses in his heart!

That’s not Qin Tan, it is clearly the man who fell and died messily previously!

Lou Fan immediately stepped back, but the coldness behind him made him feel that things are turning bad. There’s something behind while a ghastly deceased is approaching him at the front. Without hesitation, Lou Fan immediately tore up the immobilizing amulet he had prepared in his hand.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze. Lou Fan immediately stepped forward and glanced at the immobilized evil spirit behind him. He picked up his bow and kept shooting spiritual arrows at it. Feeling that he almost shot enough, Lou Fan immediately fled the scene.

A minute passed quickly, and Lou Fan didn’t know where he ran to again. The light from the Yang Gathering Amulet on his backpack is already very weak, and it seemed that it would go out in the next second. With no more immobilizing amulet in his hand, Lou Fan had to keep on high alert. At this moment, he is praying that Chen Shuyang would learn more spells, the more ghost-repelling ones the better. In this kind of close encounter with ghosts, having those weapons is convenient to kill any ghosts encountered.

On the other hand, it seems that the evil ghost has stopped going around in circles with Lou Fan anymore. A chilly breeze blew over and Lou Fan turned sideways, shooting the arrows. The lethality of his spirit arrows is not high, the advantage is that they are large in number. However, restricted by manpower, Lou Fan can’t shoot multiple spirit arrows at one time. Hence, their lethality to evil spirits is too small.

Seeing the evil ghost with a bloody mouth coming towards him with murderous scarlet eyes, Lou Fan immediately rolled down. But the evil ghost moved quickly and managed to grab his ankle,  causing his entire calf to be a bloody mess. A chunk of flesh and blood is separated from his leg bone, where the white bones under the flesh could be seen clearly.

“ARRGH!” Lou Fan exclaimed in pain, unable to hold the bow in his hand.

Without stopping for a moment, the evil ghost’s claws swiftly stretched out and are about to pierce into Lou Fan’s chest.

At that moment, Lou Fan thought to himself, even if he is dead, at the very least, Qin Tan must get out of this world.

All of a sudden, the thick blackness in front of Lou Fan is cut by a stream of air. He turned his head and saw Qin Tan’s galloping figure in his blurred vision.

“Lou Fan!” Qin Tan roared and rushed over, glaring angrily. He wished he could run faster. Seeing that he is getting closer but the evil ghost’s claws are about to pierce Lou Fan, Qin Tan also tore his immobilizing amulet.

The ghost claw is only 1 centimeter away from Lou Fan’s chest. Lou Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he fainted from the pain in his leg.

Qin Tan pulled the man out of the demon’s claws and helped him aside. Lou Fan is horribly wounded, this is the worst injury he’s ever had. At this moment, Qin Tan only regretted that he let Lou Fan follow him tonight. He took out the wound medicine prepared by Jiang Dong and poured it on Lou Fan. But Lou Fan’s calf is quite badly injured so Qin Tan didn’t dare to touch it at all. Fortunately, Lou Fan only passed out and nothing else.

When the effect of the immobilizing amulet has passed, the evil ghost resumed its movements. It is very annoyed by the repeated misses and the surrounding wind gusted wildly towards the 2 men.

Qin Tan almost lost Lou Fan so he is feeling extremely displeased at the moment. His movements are hard and fast as he fought with the evil spirit. The evil spirit is ferocious and yet, Qin Tan’s fight became smoother and smoother. There is an indescribable feeling in him, Qin Tan felt that he could even see the movements of the evil spirit clearly. The ruthlessness increased in Qin Tan’s heart. He just wanted to get rid of the evil spirit as soon as possible and help Lou Fan to apply medicine. His movement became faster and faster, almost only his afterimage can be seen. The next moment, a snapping noise sounded in the air, as if a bubble had burst. The Tang sword in Qin Tan’s hand is like red-hot iron, emitting an orange-red light.

…

Qin Tan walked out of the corridor with Lou Fan in his arms, the blackness around him gradually faded away, revealing 2 figures.

Jiang Dong’s eyes widened and he immediately went to Qin Tan. Lou Fan’s condition is very bad. He wanted to carry Lou Fan from Qin Tan’s arms, but Qin Tan didn’t let go. He carried Lou Fan to the circular corridor and put him down on a clean place.

Taking a glance at Lou Fan, Wen Lang squatted down and asked Jiang Dong, “How is it, is brother Lou alright?” A large piece of flesh is torn off from his calf, and his whole calf is in terrible condition.

Chen Changdong glanced at Qin Tan who is showing a sullen face but unconsciously looked at the Tang sword behind him. The Tang sword, which looked ordinary just now, now exudes an orange light that can’t be ignored, just like his fishing rod.

The other members of the Level 10 team looked shocked with widened eyes. Dong Xu leaned into Chen Changdong’s ear and exclaimed in surprise, “Team leader, his spirit weapon has been upgraded!”

Anyone can see that if they are not blind. But they really did not expect that Qin Tan who is only level 5, has already improved his physique. Even Chen Changdong, he only got the opportunity to improve his physique when he was at level 8. It can only be said that Qin Tan is truly lucky.

Watching as Jiang Dong treat Lou Fan’s wound, Qin Tan saw Lou Fan frown. When Jiang Dong sprinkled the medicinal powder, Lou Fan’s brows moved again. Qin Tan’s lips moved. He wanted to tell Jiang Dong to move lighter, but he pursed his lips and said nothing in the end. However, his expression turned uglier as time passes, and his eyes are full of distress.

Knowing that Lou Fan’s life is not in danger anymore, Qin Tan forced himself to turn his head away. Then he said to Chen Changdong, “The evil spirit is inside but there is no more danger. You can go in and clean it up.”

Chen Changdong stared at Qin Tan in astonishment, as if he didn’t understand what he means. After a long while, he came back to his senses. Calling his team members who have yet to come to their senses, they rushed into the hallway.

in the hallway, the evil spirit shrouded in darkness lay on the ground and Ma Ming’s corpse is there next to it. Chen Changdong released a section of fishing line to entangle the evil spirit, but facing the dead body of his teammate, he didn’t know what to do with it.

2 evil ghosts are caught in 1 night. Chen Changdong’s team planned to seal them soon to prevent any possible mishaps.

The author has something to say:

Lou Fan: Biology mom (authors that are supposed to be nice to their main characters), you make me lose a big chunk of flesh, won’t your conscience hurt?
Author: Of course it won’t hurt, because I have no conscience.
Qin Tan: Oh, you have no conscience? (sharpening knife)
Author: … If you threaten me again, you won’t have a wife anymore.

[1] Banana: I don’t understand what kind of example the author is trying to convey lol. But it should just an exaggeration that Lou Fan can shoot until the end of time and there will still arrows available to shoot.

[2] Apparently, the keyword 中性笔 is actually ballpoint pen, according to google translate. Previously, Banana wrote it as neutral stroke because I thought it’s how the amulets were drawn lol. Anyway, it will be changed to ballpoint pen in the future chapters.

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Seeing that the sun is about to go down, Chen Changdong didn’t bother to look around anymore and went back with a few crystals that looked like white crystals. Lou Fan and the others are already waiting there. When Lou Fan saw the crystals in Chen Changdong’s hand, he shook his head.

“Team leader Chen, you got the wrong crystals.”

Chen Changdong also knew that it is wrong but he already tried his best. “I only found these.”

Chen Changdong had given up hope and planned to continue looking for it tomorrow. Then, Lou Fan flipped his palm and took out a transparent crystal the size of an egg, with only a white mist-like color in it.

“I found one, take it.”

Chen Changdong took the crystal and looked at it for a long time. He found that this crystal is fundamentally different from the crystals found by his team. He put it away silently and said to Lou Fan, “Thanks.”

He owed Lou Fan another favor again; getting used to owing him favors.

Lou Fan waved his hand, “Quickly take it to the sun, the sun will go down soon.”

Chen Changdong nodded, left the twins behind, and took the other two team members out to bask in the sun. Liu Xing is very tired so she pulled her sister to the staff lounge. After entering, she found a stool and sat down.

On the other side, after listening to what Chen Shuyang said, Jiang Dong didn’t know what kind of expression he should show. Wen Lang simply exclaimed out loud, “My god! Shuyang, your spirit weapon is too awesome! Have you finally found the correct way to use it?”

Lou Fan and Qin Tan walked in at this moment and heard Wen Lang making loud noises. Qin Tan frowned, “Speak properly, why are you shouting?”

Wen Lang couldn’t calm down at all. Another lucky guy has appeared on the team, how could he calm down?!

“Brother Qin! You don’t know how awesome Shuyang is. Copying scriptures into his book is nothing. He can draw amulets in his book! The type that can be used and doesn’t need to use cinnabar and yellow papers!!”

People who have been in contact with superstition to some extent will know a little bit of this knowledge. But even if they don’t, information like this can be found in the movies. The yellow amulet is a piece of yellow paper on which one uses red cinnabar to draw random patterns on it. Then, it becomes an amulet. In ancient times, talismans were sold at high prices.

“Shuyang can draw amulets in his book?” Lou Fan didn’t understand and repeated the sentence.

Before Chen Shuyang could explain, Wen Lang immediately poured everything he heard out. Even the twins next to him heard it clearly, with surprise in their eyes. They haven’t heard of this kind of spirit weapon before.

After listening to Wen Lang’s words, Lou Fan showed a happy elderly expression and patted Chen Shuyang on the shoulder, “Shuyang, keep working hard and draw more. You will have to take on the important responsibilities of the team in the future!”

Chen Shuyang nodded immediately.

Qin Tan silently restrained his smile at the side.

Jiang Dong rolled his eyes helplessly. Everyone in this team is not normal, it is really hard for him (as the only normal person).

Lou Fan then asked again, “How many spells have you learned?”

As soon as Lou Fan said these words, he felt like he is asking Chen Shuyang how many words did he learn today (like how a father asked his child about his studies)?

Chen Shuyang looked guilty, “Only one, the others are a bit complicated and haven’t learned yet.”

Lou Fan simply oh-ed and said, “Then, keep learning.”

Liu Xing and Liu Yue: …

…

The afterglow of the sun sprinkled on the white crystal. As if white gas is poured into it, the white smoke slowly filled the crystal and gradually turned it into a milky white crystal, which the tone is slightly thinner than pure white. It is not until the sun sank into the ground and the sky began to darken that Chen Changdong brought Yuan Jin and Dong Xu back to the staff lounge.

After reuniting with the twins, Chen Changdong felt that their expressions are a bit strange, and the gaze they looked at Lou Fan’s team is even stranger. But they are in front of other people so Chen Changdong didn’t ask. He just sat down in the empty seat and started eating to replenish his strength.

It is almost 7.00 pm and Chen Changdong planned to take a rest before going upstairs to try his luck. If he could find an evil spirit, he would capture it first. Otherwise, once it is nighttime, he is afraid that their team would be trapped again. As for going down to the B2 floor, it’s the same darkness whether day or night anyway, there’s no difference.

Glancing at the white crystal in his hand, Chen Changdong paused. Then he raised his head and called Qin Tan. “Team leader Qin, you want to know how to upgrade the spirit weapon, right? Let me tell you roughly about it first.” He doesn’t like to owe favors, and he owes more and more this time.

Lou Fan immediately moved the small bench and sat in front of Chen Changdong with a look of listening intently. Behind him stood Qin Tan and the other three. Everyone is curious and looking forward to knowing how to upgrade the spirit weapon.

Facing 5 pairs of curious eyes, Chen Changdong coughed uncomfortably. It is because their gazes are too intense that he couldn’t stand them, causing goosebumps all over his body.

“Actually, the upgrade of a spirit weapon is related to physical fitness. The second condition is an opportunity (fortunate encounter). When your body improves and can withstand the power of an intermediate spirit weapon, that means you are ready to upgrade your spirit weapon, which is a necessary condition. As for the opportunity, this is hard to say. Everyone’s opportunity is different. As far as I know, some upgraded their weapon during an emergency because they wanted to help their companion, while some upgraded when they themselves are in danger. Some simply have an epiphany… In short, an opportunity is a rare occurrence.”

All Chen Changdong can say is just 2 or 3 sentences, but he knew that it is not so easy to upgrade the spirit weapon. Like him, he already upgraded but his team has yet to produce a second intermediate spirit weapon. This is an example of the rareness. He paused for a while and then said, “The improvement of physique actually depends on luck, because it is not always possible to find something to improve our physique in the mission world. So far, only three of us have improved our physique.”

If one doesn’t improve their physique, they can’t upgrade their spirit weapon. The threshold is high enough.

Lou Fan exchanged glances with his teammates, tacitly knowing that everyone on the team have improved their physique. They have nothing to be afraid of.

After Chen Changdong finished speaking, he stood up and took his fishing rod. Then he called his teammates, preparing to go upstairs to hunt ghosts. He checked his fishing rod to make sure it is intact. After reminding a few more words, he is ready to leave.

“Team leader Chen, do you mind if I go with you?” Qin Tan asked before they went out.

Everyone looked at Qin Tan, even Lou Fan didn’t know what he is planning to do.

Chen Changdong also looked at Qin Tan, “Team leader Qin, are you sure you want to go with us?”

Qin Tan actually didn’t plan to do anything at first. But he thought Chen Changdong is a good person, and he told them about the upgrade of the spirit weapon. Secondly, he wanted to know how powerful the evil spirit is. It is his habit to always plan ahead and get a good understanding of the enemy.

Qin Tan’s eyes are firm, showing his intention so Chen Changdong could not refuse.

“I’ll go too.” Lou Fan walked over to Qin Tan, “I don’t feel at ease about you going alone, I’ll go with you.”

Wen Lang, Jiang Dong, and Chen Shuyang immediately echoed, “I’ll go too.”

Qin Tan looked at his team helplessly. They are like a dog skin plaster (super sticky), and he couldn’t shake them off.

The ghost-hunting team suddenly grew bigger. Although Chen Changdong didn’t understand why the junior team wanted to follow them to do the task, he is very welcoming of this change inside. No one will think that there are too many people. With more people, they will be more confident.

The team left, leaving Chen Shuyang to look after the eminent monk and protect their mission target. Before leaving, Chen Shuyang gave Lou Fan and his team members all the Yang Gathering Amulet that he drew.

“Although it may not be super useful, take them just in case. The master also said that it is effective so you can try to use it. If they don’t work, you can return them to me. Otherwise, just treat it as bringing me along with you.”

Hearing that, Wen Lang rolled his eyes. He bared his teeth and tried to pinch Chen Shuyang, but Chen Shuyang avoided him.

…

Lou Fan and his team have been on the 4th and 5th floors before. Although they got attacked by some ghosts before, the condition of the floors was not the same as they are now. The entire 4th floor looked dead and dark. It is pitch black without lights and they can only see the people around them with a little light from themselves.

Qin Tan reminded everyone to be careful and try to take care of the people around them. It would be better if they hold hands so as not to get separated. Immediately after saying that, he grabbed Lou Fan’s hand.

Wen Lang didn’t listen to the advice as he doesn’t plan to hold hands with Jiang Dong. Just the thought of it gave him goosebumps. However, his hand is grabbed and Jiang Dong’s hand held his tightly.

“Hey, aren’t you disgusted by this? We are 2 adult men holding hands…” Wen Lang couldn’t go on.

However, Jiang Dong simply grabbed Wen Lang’s hand and tugged, “Don’t talk, don’t you know there are ghosts here?”

Wen Lang: … Can’t talk if there are ghosts around? Fine, I’ll let you have the final say.

Wen Lang shifted his hand awkwardly but didn’t pull it out.

Chen Changdong had the master’s Yang Gathering Amulet and a white crystal in his hand, but these items are reserved for the B2 floor, where the yin aura is heavier. Without these 2 things, it would be impossible for them to move even an inch forward. Relatively speaking, they can still see things on the 4th floor so they’ll make do with it.

Their flashlights are really not very useful here. Lou Fan took out the simple version of the Yang Gathering Amulet given by Chen Shuyang and stuck it on the wall. He thought that it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work but he found that the black smoke within a 5-meter radius had dissipated, and the plaza’s light above his head lighted up.

“Shuyang, you are awesome. This amulet really works.” Lou Fan muttered, feeling very relieved.

Wen Lang snapped his fingers, “Shuyang has finally found his path. He should follow the master and convert to Buddhism, it suits him.”

Lou Fan: “Don’t, Shuyang’s parents are still waiting for him to give them a grandson. Don’t come up with bad ideas.”

The Level 10 team didn’t expect the junior team’s amulet to work which was drawn with neutral strokes, and they are all a little surprised.

Liu Xing clicked her tongue twice, “You guys are so lucky. Imagine how many points can you sell it in Lazuli.” These words simply pointed out a way for Lou Fan to make a fortune.

Lou Fan: !!!!

That’s right! This is simply a shortcut to getting rich. This amulet is a paranormal item, which is scarce equipment. There will be people fighting to buy it in Lazuli!

Lou Fan, Wen Lang, and Jiang Dong looked at each other. They can see the shine of RMB in each other’s eyes. Points ah!!!

Our treasured Shuyang!

Liu Xing got frightened by the ferocious light in their eyes and shrank to her sister’s side. The expressions of these people are a little scary. She’s afraid that they might be a little abnormal.

Chen Changdong, who is completely focused on the darkness, is looking at the black mist not far away. His eyes narrowed and he swung his arm, casting the fishing rod without hesitation. The fishing line with the hook flew as the reel rolls out, falling into darkness in an instant. Immediately, Chen Changdong’s arm tightened. The hook caught something again.

This time, they can see with the light, and Chen Changdong learned from the experience of the last time. He didn’t panic at all and steadily pulled the fishing rod, swaying it left and right just like fishing. Then he slowly shook the handle to recover the fishing line.

A mass of black mist separated from the darkness, and then it struggled to retreat back into the darkness.
