Chapter 23 Entering the Ghost Story "Letter"

Quiet, the atmosphere was eerily quiet at this moment.

Bai Wan's face looked like he was constipated at this moment. Looking at the tomb that was hit by the meteor shower, he cursed in his heart.

Holy crap! Holy crap!!!!

Don’t be like this, don’t let anything happen at this time!
Zhou Lu also had a dazed expression, staring at the tombstones emitting black smoke from his ancestral grave for a long time without saying a word.

After a long silence, Su Yuening laughed and tried to ease the atmosphere by saying, "Yes... there is a meteor shower today."

Zhou Lu was stunned for a full minute before he came to his senses. He picked up his cigarette and said calmly, "Hahaha, did everyone make a wish for the meteor shower? It's pretty damn spectacular, ahahahaha..."

After hearing this, Liu Tong and others couldn't help but twitch their lips.

Damn, this is the first time in my life I’ve seen a meteor shower blow up a tombstone. Isn’t it spectacular?

Seeing no one responded.

Zhou Lu coughed lightly and smiled optimistically: "Well, the body of the martyr is fine down there, so we can just make a better tombstone. It will be like renovating their home."

"What's most important is the faith they convey to us, not the stones standing on the ground. OK, let's go, let's go."

Liu Tong and others couldn't help but feel more encouraged when they saw Zhou Lu's optimism.

As expected of the captain, he has a really good attitude.

Zhou Lu smiled, turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly stumbled. He turned back and said awkwardly: "Liu Tong, help me, my blood pressure is a little high."

"……it is good."

……

The atmosphere was a bit heavy among the group along the way.

I don’t know how long it has existed, but some of the tombstones of our ancestors that have been guarded for a long time were inexplicably damaged.

Bai Wan looked even more embarrassed.

This meteor shower was obviously caused by myself. It happened once before on campus, but I didn’t expect it to happen again.

At this moment, he felt extremely guilty. He wondered if his ancestors were conscious and his meteor shower blew up their homes, would they still protect him?

Everyone remained silent for a long time until they called a taxi and returned to the Lancheng headquarters.

Everyone sat on the sofa, feeling a little tired.

"Today is really weird. It seems that I will have bad luck in the future and can't wander around." The strong man Wang Meng smiled bitterly helplessly.

"It's okay. If the tombstone is gone, we can make a new one. Well, many things in today's society are being updated. Next time, let's make a trendy and luxurious tombstone for our ancestors. I guarantee they will be satisfied." Zhou Lu sat on the sofa and smoked.

Bai Wan listened to everyone chatting and fell into deep thought.

Damn it, the probability of a meteor shower coming is too high. From now on, when I face weird things, I can use it as my ultimate move.

The art of meteor showers coming down would be so strange that even those who received it would be confused.

In the cemetery in the distance, tombstones were slowly being restored bit by bit. Countless transparent souls emerged from underneath, staring blankly at their homes turned into ruins.

The soul that just woke up couldn't help but rub its eyes. Is it because the soul has been hallucinating for a long time?
I woke up to find my house was bombarded by a meteor shower!

The souls looked at each other and began to move bricks helplessly. I hope that guy won’t come again!
An ancestor said, "How about we move? I heard that the feng shui is good near the mountain. How about we move to Black Mountain to improve our fortune?"

Another ancestor complained while repairing the tombstone: "You are dead, what kind of luck do you still have? There are rumors about Black Mountain recently. Maybe that guy will go there. Do you think your home, where you sleep well, will be gone again?"

The first ancestor immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, I won't go. If I can't afford to offend you, can I just hide away? I'd better stay here."

After chatting for a while, Bai Wan saw that it was getting late and prepared to go home.

Zhou Lu gave Bai Wan a package. Bai Wan opened it and found 250 strange coins inside.

"Take it. It's not much. The five of us collected it for you privately. You can pay it back when you have money in the future. You are a newcomer and you must be in need of ghost coins the most. You have also entered a dungeon of unsolvable level." Zhou Lu said with a smile.

Bai Wan was very touched holding the strange coins in his hand.

Each ghost coin is very precious. After all, you can only get 100 ghost coins by completing a copy normally.

You can give him half of it, which is a big favor.

Although several people definitely wanted to invest in him, no matter what, now is the time when Bai Wan needs Gui coins the most, and it can be said to be a timely help.

"Thank you everyone!" Bai Wan was a little moved.

Holding the ghost coin, Bai Wan prepared to go home to rest for a while, and then go to see his ghost ship. He had never gone in to see the ghost ship since he obtained it. His crew member, the old lady, and "Chen Weiyu" were also inside.

Although he has not become the captain yet, he should have obtained some authority. Now the next copy is very difficult, and he must prepare some trump cards to see if the ghost ship can give him some resources.

When Bai Wan was halfway there, the captain Zhou Lu stopped him and handed him a bag of strange coins. Bai Wan was shocked when he saw it, because there were thirty jet-black strange coins in it, which meant 300 strange coins in total.

Zhou Lu smiled and said to Bai Wan: "This is a personal gift from me to you. Although I am an old player and earn a lot of ghost coins, my expenses are also high. I am short of money recently, so I can only give you this."

"This... Captain..." Bai Wan looked at the 300 strange coins with some hesitation.

300 ghost coins is a huge amount of money.

Is this an investment?
But you have to know that you have entered a copy of unsolvable level.

If I can't get out, the money will be gone...

Trust, he could feel Zhou Lu's trust in him.

Bai Wan wanted to refuse these 300 ghost coins, but he was really short of money now.

Whether it is purchasing bug skills or two weird props, it is very expensive.

Thinking that he was always being targeted by the system, Bai Wan couldn't help but sigh and put away the strange coin.

"Thank you, Captain. If I can grow up in the future, I will also help if Lancheng is in trouble." Bai Wan said sincerely.

Faced with such a sincere Zhou Lu, Bai Wan had no way to refuse, or rather, he shouldn't refuse in his current situation.

Although Bai Wan looks like a bastard, he still has a basic conscience. Since the other party has helped him so selflessly, he will also help Lan Cheng within his ability in the future.

The moment he received the strange coin, the distance between him and the Lancheng Office was shortened.

Zhou Lu was stunned when he saw Bai Wan's expression, then he couldn't help but smile, and said happily, "Then I'll rely on you from now on."

Bai Wan thanked the captain again and turned to leave, but not long after he left, he was stopped again. He saw a white-haired girl waiting for him in the distance.

"Miss Su?" Bai Wan asked doubtfully.

Su Yuening walked to Bai Wan's side, handed two red seals to Bai Wan, and said softly: "This is a strange blood seal. Stick it on the strange body to temporarily resist the strange. It's just a one-time prop. It's gone after use. You should use it well."

Bai Wan took the seal in a daze, and its properties were also displayed on it.

[Strange Blood Seal
Introduction: A low-quality seal made with the curse of weird blood. When attached to a weird body, it has the effect of stopping the weird. Each seal can only be used once.

Note: It's just a rubbish assembly line product made by a third-rate craftsman. Rubbish, rubbish!! 】

"It's a prop? Are you giving it to me?" Bai Wan was very surprised. He had heard from Liu Tong before that Su Yuening was also a newcomer who had just joined the weird game and had only participated in one more game than himself. How could she be so generous?
Su Yuening was very enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Well, you are still a newcomer and you must feel uneasy when entering an unsolvable dungeon. I think I have a lot of these things, so I will give you two..."

"?"

A question mark appeared above Bai Wan’s head.

Wait, what did you say? You have a lot of this?
Then, Su Yuening continued, "Because someone in my family is a mid-level craftsman, and he is about to be promoted to a senior craftsman, so I made a lot of practice works."

What the hell!

An intermediate craftsman who is about to be promoted to a senior craftsman?

Bai Wan had just learned from Zhou Lu that craftsmen were rare, and mid-level craftsmen were even fewer.

If a family has a mid-level craftsman, wouldn’t that make her a super rich woman?

Bai Wan looked at the white-haired monster in front of him with great surprise. It really is true that you can't judge a person by his appearance.

However, even if there was a craftsman at home, Su Yuening was still too generous.

What a nice person.

No, I should say that these people in the Lancheng team are all pretty good.

But that's true, these are all official personnel of Lancheng, and they are generally good people with noble qualities, otherwise they wouldn't try so hard to hunt monsters.

Although Bai Wan felt that he was not a good person and that good people died quickly, he had to admit that people like Su Yuening and Zhou Lu really made him feel comfortable. He could be a bad person, but if he wanted to make friends, he should look for good people!

"Thank you, thank you." Bai Wan quickly thanked the white-haired rich woman in front of him.

Su Yuening also smiled happily.

She thought of what the captain had said before about seducing the newcomer, and sure enough she still couldn't do it. However, she always felt that sincerity was the secret weapon for everything.

So, she said sincerely: "No need to thank me, we are all from the same firm, so we are all family. Although we have only met for one day, I feel very happy to be with you. At least I regard you as a friend, so as a friend, if you encounter difficulties, I have no reason not to help you. Friends are people who share difficulties."

Su Yuening showed a lovely smile and stretched out her slender hand in front of Bai Wan.

Bai Wan felt warm in his heart after hearing what he said, and he reached out and held Su Yuening's hand.

Su Yuening looked at the newlyweds in front of her who were very moved, and couldn't help but smile with pride. It turned out that sincerity was the killer move.

And the next second, a voice sounded in her mind.

[Player Su Yuening was temporarily selected into the "Letter" copy. ]

After reading the message, the smile on Su Yuening's face froze in an instant. She was dumbfounded on the spot, and her mind was full of the stupid things she had said before.

Friends are people who share your troubles...

I'm just saying, why do you take it seriously?
Huh??? Is there some misunderstanding here?

She looked depressed and almost cried.

Bai Wan also looked puzzled. Why did Su Yuening, who was originally very happy, suddenly look so sad?

"What's wrong with you?" Bai Wan couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay... I'm just a little touched." Su Yuening couldn't help but shed tears.

"Ah? What moved you?"

Su Yuening pulled the corners of her mouth, and finally managed to force a smile, and said: "Friendship!"

“I am so touched by our friendship!”

Bai Wan was stunned after hearing this, and his eyes were also somewhat touched. This Miss Su is really a person of temperament. Then he couldn't help but speak from the bottom of his heart: "Miss Su, you don't know, I have very few friends since I was a child. I don't know why, they always stay away from me and isolate me. Today you said that you are my friend, I am really touched!"

"I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."

"what??"

"No, nothing... I mean, of course we are good friends." Su Yuening barely managed to squeeze out these words, thinking back on her magical experience today, she suddenly understood why the boy in front of her had no friends.

"Good friend!" Bai Wan patted Su Yuening's shoulder happily, then left with the strange blood seal.

After leaving the headquarters, Bai Wan couldn't help but look happy. He was so happy to have made a good friend today.

After Bai Wan left, Su Yuening was the only one left there, heartbroken.

……

After Bai Wan returned home, the first thing he did was take out the ghost ship.

He silently recited the words "enter" in his mind and returned to the ghost ship.

Looking at the familiar scene, I couldn't help but feel emotional.

At this time, the old woman was cleaning the boat, she was really doing her job conscientiously.

Seeing Bai Wan coming, the old woman smiled and said, "Captain-to-be, you are here."

When Bai Wan saw the old woman, information about her automatically appeared in front of his eyes.

Tips: More menus have not been unlocked yet. Since the player has a nameless mother-in-law, strange recipes are randomly added to the skeleton shop. The rarer the skeleton shop, the greater the probability of rare recipes. 】

When Bai Wan saw the profile of the nameless mother-in-law, his eyes lit up.

It’s quite interesting that this mother-in-law is actually a weird cook. As long as she has the recipe and ingredients, she can make weird dishes.

Bai Wan suddenly thought of the unsolvable copy he was about to visit and received a letter.

According to Captain Zhou Lu, unsolvable-level copies may refresh rare dark-blood shops, which should contain rare recipes.

It seems that I really need to try hard to find the Dark Blood Shop.

Both his special professional captain and the recipes were of great help to him.

"Mother-in-law, don't you have a name?" Bai Wan asked curiously when he saw that the introduction said "Nameless Mother-in-law".

The old woman shook her head and said, "I have lost most of my memory and can't remember it clearly, but the name doesn't matter to me. If you can give me a name for your convenience, that's fine too."

Bai Wan nodded, thinking that it was time to give it a name, otherwise it would be inconvenient to call it in the future.

He looked at the boat and thought of the scene of himself sailing on the sea before, and then he had an idea.

Bai Wan smiled and said, "Grandma, you are still pretty even at this age. You must have been a beauty when you were young. Grandma, why don't I call you Nami from now on?"

The old woman was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, Nami? Not a bad name."

Grandma Nami was also very happy to hear Bai Wan praising her beauty.

Bai Wan left with satisfaction, and went to the room where Chen Weiyu was stuck. He saw that Chen Weiyu saw him like a rabbit seeing an eagle, and hid in the room in an instant, stretching his neck, sticking his head out in fear and staring at him.

Bai Wan slowly smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, dear sister. Brother is here."

"Wooooooaaaa!!!" Chen Weiyu bared his teeth and waved his claws like a small animal, as if trying to scare Bai Wan away.

Bai Wan still kept smiling and said, "My dear sister, my brother is in some trouble now. I believe you will definitely help your good brother, right?"

Chen Weiyu looked panicked after hearing this. Looking at the smile, he couldn't help but recall the scene of being locked in the wall that day.

It wanted to run, but it couldn't move, which was the authority of the quasi-captain.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm just asking you to borrow something." Bai Wan narrowed his eyes and grabbed Chen Weiyu's hair and started pulling it.

"Wow wow wow!!!" Chen Weiyu screamed in pain.

"Don't scream, don't scream, it will be fine soon. Oh, I won't go against a woman's will again, I'm so scared." Bai Wan listened to Chen Weiyu's screams with a relaxed mood. Finally, he collected the strange hair, went outside to buy some beef, and gave them to Nami.

This is how a somewhat disgusting ghost-hair steak with ghost hair twisting in it is made.

Bai Wan put it away with disdain. Although it looked disgusting, it was quite effective.

He spent another 300 ghost coins to purchase the bug skill of door disappearance, which is quite practical.

Then, he left the cruise ship, studied information about the weird game in real life for another two days, and finally made some preparations.

The countdown for the "Letter" copy has finally come to an end.

[Strange game copy, 'Letter' starts now! ]

In an instant, Bai Wan felt his body lighten, and when he came to his senses, he was already in an unknown wooden house.

The dilapidated wooden house was a bit like Bai Wan’s grandmother’s old rural house. A strong smell of dust could be smelled, and there were faint sounds of roosters crowing outside. It seemed that this copy was in some unknown village.

The wooden house had poor lighting and looked very dark. At this moment, there were a total of seven people in the wooden house, including Bai Wan. It should not be said six people, because one of them was lying on the ground, lifeless.

Bai Wan was even more surprised to find that he was holding a sharp knife with fresh blood on it.

Did I kill him?
