Chapter 64 Do you have any clue?
After getting the ashes, Jiang Lu and Ghost-faced Fox boarded Huang Xiu'e again and started heading towards the evacuation point.
The ghost-faced fox lowered his head, looking at the running Huang Xiu'e, hesitant to speak, and after several times, he finally couldn't help but look up: "Jiang..."
He stopped after saying only one word, and asked quietly, "What are you doing?"
"My ears itch. Pick them out."
After a period of recovery, Jiang Lu's eardrum has begun to reassemble and he can hear some sounds.
He was now inserting his left thumb into his left ear and rotating it.
Seeing his unconventional, rough and unrestrained way of cleaning his ears, the ghost-faced fox's eyelids twitched.
"Itching means the peripheral nerves are recovering. Don't pick it like that. Be careful..."
"Hiss!" Jiang Lu interrupted him with a grin.
As he pulled out his thumb, he heard a crisp "pop" sound in his left ear, like a cork opening a bottle of wine.
Then Jiang Lu's left ear began to spurt blood again. The ghost-faced fox calmly wiped the blood that sprayed on his face and sighed:
"You are really... How do you put it?"
"What do you say?"
After a while.
Jiang Lu changed his sitting direction because he couldn't hear with his left ear again.
"So what did you want to say just now?" Jiang Lu asked casually.
The Ghost-Faced Fox forgot what he was about to say for a moment. There was only one thought in his mind. It was hard to imagine that the person sitting opposite him was actually a human.
After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered what he wanted to say, and then he said what he had been holding back for a long time: "I want to ask, are you really not considering saving Huang Xiu'e? There are many types of confrontations with spirit realms. As for the most basic and most recognized spirit realm of bounty confrontation, the probability of getting two pieces of ashes is probably less than one in ten thousand, which is enough to make you famous."
"Hmm..." Jiang Lu shook his head: "I don't have such worldly desires. If I want to be famous, I can become more famous by shitting in front of the Exorcist Guild."
"..."
The ghost-faced fox felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't find out what was wrong.
"Anyway, the original goal was to get first place. Now that we've achieved our goal, we shouldn't expect too much."
Jiang Luyu said earnestly: "The vortex of desire will only get bigger and bigger, and finally swallow people up, so people still have to learn to be content."
After listening to this earnest advice, the Ghost-faced Fox suddenly felt a little ashamed in front of Jiang Lu.
"Oh no..."
It wasn't until they reached the evacuation point that Ghostface Fox finally reacted:
"Weren't you the one who insisted on grabbing two portions of ashes in the beginning? Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to lecture me like this now?"
"Hehe." Jiang Lu grinned.
He jumped off Huang Xiu'e's back and waited for the 30-second countdown for evacuation.
The ghost-faced fox sighed and had to give up reluctantly.
He got quite a lot of first place, but he had never gotten two portions of ashes before. If possible, he really didn't want to miss this honor.
But there is no way, who made Jiang Lu unwilling?
"Okay, let's send it here." Jiang Lu rubbed Huang Xiu'e's big face and said lovingly, "Go back."
The ghost-faced fox smiled as he watched this scene, and actually felt a hint of warmth in the weirdness.
"Meow~"
Huang Xiu'e choked and then started coughing.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Every time it coughed, it trembled, and finally, two fingers covered with saliva were coughed out of its throat.
"Wow!" Jiang Lu picked up the finger in surprise and praised happily: "You didn't swallow it? Great! You still know not to eat me!"
The smile of the ghost-faced fox behind him had already frozen.
Warm and cozy, grandma's legs!
10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...
"Goodbye then."
Jiang Lu waved to Huang Xiu'e as a final farewell.
Huang Xiu'e tilted her head, not knowing what she was thinking about.
...2...1.
Jiang Lu and the Ghost-faced Fox were wrapped in white light, and a portal appeared under their feet.
Just as they were about to disappear, Huang Xiu'e stepped in...
......
Jiang Lu opened his eyes and found himself back in the wine cellar.
With a long sigh of relief, he opened the panel.
[Complete the walkthrough for "Hunting in the Deep"]
[Number of Ashes Obtained: 1]
【Team ranking: 1】
[Number of eliminated teams: 1]
[Personal evaluation: The ultimate that cannot be replicated]
[Obtained authority points: 300 (evaluation gain 500%)]
[Authorization level: changed from F (0/100) to E (200/300)]
[Note: You can now enter a spiritual realm that is 3 levels beyond the original upper limit]
[Achievement: Fighting against the Spirit Realm cannot unlock achievements]
"In the fight against the Spirit Realm, no gold coins will be dropped, only points will be given?"
Jiang Lu stroked his chin, remembering what a famous genius once said: It’s enough to be strong, why should we divide?
But having said that, after his authority was upgraded by one level, Jiang Lu discovered that the upper limit of the level of the spirit realm he could choose was indeed increased by 3 levels. He remembered that the upper limit was still level 13, 5 levels higher than his own level. Now, the spirit realm pool has fully opened up spirit realms of levels 14 to 16.
Higher levels mean more attributes and better equipment, which means that exorcists have more channels and means to resolve difficulties when facing danger.
If the level of the spirit realm exceeds one's own level by a large margin, even a spirit realm of C-level difficulty may actually be equivalent to B-level or even A-level difficulty for the exorcist.
Of course, Jiang Lu was not too sensitive about this.
What he cares about is that under the balance mechanism, he can get more and better rewards by attacking high-level spiritual realms with low-level strategies.
This is more important to him.
At this moment, a red dot suddenly appeared in the upper right corner.
There is news from the Ghost-faced Fox.
[Ghost-faced Fox: You should be promoted, right? ]
[I am Jiang Bao Chong Lingyu: Ang]
[Ghost-faced Fox: I originally thought it would take two attempts to advance, but I didn't expect your level to be so low. This is a pleasant surprise. Your points can be multiplied several times.]
[I rush to the spirit realm for Jiang Bao: How much are you? ]
[Ghost-Faced Fox: 30 points]
[I rush to the spirit realm for Jiang Bao: So little? ]
[Ghost-faced Fox: Because we didn't get rid of the evil spirits at all, and the only team we eliminated was you, so my personal evaluation is just passing, plus the first place in the team, that's why I got so many points. I guess you got the level balance plus the elimination of the team, so your evaluation should be excellent, right? That's why you only have 100 authority points.]
[I rush to the spirit realm for Jiang Bao: Hmm... about the same]
[Ghost-faced Fox: Then I can record your file tomorrow. You can give me the permission of your homepage so that I can directly see your permission level and operate it here.]
[I rushed to the spirit realm for Jiang Bao: OK, then am I now a senior in the workplace and can guide newcomers? ]
[Ghost-faced Fox: What are you thinking? Except for the new members trained by the guild, anyone who wants to join the guild must have E-level authority.]
[I rush to the spirit realm for Jiang Bao: Tsk]
[Ghost-faced Fox: Okay, go and give me the permission. I have something to do here. I will tell you later.]
[I am Jiang Bao rushing into the spirit realm: OK]
After the chat, Jiang Lu looked at his evaluation of "The Ultimate that Cannot Be Replicated" with some confusion. He had not paid much attention to it because he had received such evaluation so many times before and had lost interest in it. Now he turned around and thought about the words of the Ghost-faced Fox.
It feels like something is wrong.
Even Ashes only got one copy, so what did I do that made it impossible to replicate?
Jiang Lu thought about it for a while and felt that everything was normal, nothing special. In the end, he still couldn't figure it out, so he gave up.
"Forget it. It must have a reason for saying so. Let's get down to business first."
But not long after, just as Jiang Lu was groping for the button "Visible only to selected friends", another message from Ghost-Faced Fox came over.
[Ghost-faced Fox: Something big has happened! The confrontation spirit realm we entered has collapsed! ]
"Huh?" Jiang Lu was stunned.
[I am Jiang Bao Chong Lingyu: Music, Detailed]
[Ghost-faced Fox: Don’t be so happy. For some reason, that spirit realm only produced one evil spirit. Now four teams are fighting for one piece of ash. The difficulty has increased unprecedentedly. Moreover, this is the only problem among all the bounties against the spirit realm. So I suspect it’s because you didn’t kill Huang Xiu’e.]
[I rush to the spirit realm for Jiang Bao: I can’t...]
Jiang Lu found it a little funny. They collapsed without killing Huang Xiu'e? What a rubbish spirit realm. This kind of spirit realm that advocates cat abuse should be reported and banned.
[Ghost-faced Fox: Do you have any clues? ]
Jiang Lu was just about to ask back with confidence "What clue do I have?", when suddenly a golden cat head came up to him curiously and stretched out its claws to scratch at the keyboard on the panel.
