Chapter 12: Fierce Man! Shopping! A New Mission!
“Alright! Registration is complete!” The person responsible for registration handed the key back to Lin Feng.
“Thank you!” Lin Feng took the key, ready to return to the villa to rest.
“Wow, Brother Lin, you’re amazing!” As Lin Feng turned around, a chubby classmate from his old class came over and started praising him exaggeratedly.
“Brother Lin, you’re our idol.” The few sidekicks next to the chubby guy also joined in the flattery.
Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd still looked at Lin Feng in amazement. A few young girls, seeing how strong and handsome Lin Feng was, had stars in their eyes.
As a transmigrator, Lin Feng wasn’t swayed by a few flattering words. He ignored the chubby guy and quickly left the crowd, intending to shop for some daily necessities.
After Lin Feng left, the crowd erupted into intense discussions.
“Is it true? He handled the villa alone? That’s impossible, right?”
“Yeah, I heard from the building guards that since the villa was offered as a reward ten years ago, no one has ever succeeded. None of the current residents in the villa district are under 20 years old!”
Some of the new students expressed disbelief upon hearing this.
After all, dealing with the villa district right after awakening a ghost spirit… is indeed a bit terrifying!
However, Lin Feng had already completed the registration, and the results of this test were soon announced. Though they didn’t mention Lin Feng’s name, they did state that someone had acquired a villa, confirming the story’s truth.
As a result, the students who arrived later were all shocked.
Soon, Lin Feng’s name spread among the more than 300 new ghost controllers!
The outer city of Liucheng wasn’t small, but aside from the villa district, most of the residents here were newly emerged ghost controllers from the past few years.
Daily necessities could be bought on the street the bus passed earlier.
From here to that street, an old bus occasionally passes by.
Lin Feng waited for a while, and the bus arrived.
He got on.
On the bus, there were some people and also some ghosts.
These people seemed to have lived in the outer city for quite some time, including ordinary people and others who were obviously ghost controllers.
They seemed accustomed to sharing a bus with ghosts, and no one was interested in chatting with others.
Lin Feng scanned his ID card, paying one yuan, and then found a seat to sit down.
The bus started, and after about ten minutes, the bustling street appeared in front of him.
Lin Feng entered the street and began shopping for daily necessities.
The supplies in this world’s base cities were relatively scarce, and the prices were relatively high. A good-quality quilt cost over a thousand, and towels and similar items weren’t cheap either.
Fortunately, after passing the test, Lin Feng received 100 contribution points, which translated to ten thousand yuan.
Lin Feng spent nearly fifty contribution points, buying a lot of items and arranging for the shop to deliver them to the villa.
After shopping, Lin Feng took the bus back to the villa.
At this time, the 300+ students started arriving, also shopping on this street.
These students didn’t start with 100 contribution points. Those who got a townhouse only received 60 points, while those with an old house got only 40.
Soon, Lin Feng returned to the villa, and the cleaning lady had nearly finished her work. Lin Feng asked her to wash the bedsheets and hang them out to dry.
He could use the single bed sheets from his dormitory for tonight, but they seemed too small for this villa.
By the time the cleaning lady finished and left, it was almost evening.
The issue of food was easy to solve. In the outer city, everything required money. On the way back, Lin Feng saw many restaurants, some of which offered delivery, so he ordered some food and solved his meal problem.
After eating, Lin Feng sat in the living room, took out the communicator integrated with his ID card, and checked the new messages.
“Must go outside the city within three days to clear scattered ghosts?” Lin Feng murmured.
Now he and the other 300+ students were officially ghost controllers. Although they had just left school, the base city still provided some guidance, but it was much more free and flexible than in school.
However, with more freedom, they also had to handle everything themselves.
For instance, if they ran out of contribution points and didn’t earn new ones… they’d go hungry!
So, the base city assigned some time-sensitive tasks to these students, like this mission to clear scattered ghosts, to give them some practice and earn contribution points.
Lin Feng glanced at this task and then moved on. It posed no challenge for him.
Although the outer city of the base was full of ghosts, they were generally harmless, classified as “good spirits” or at least neutral. To gain more experience for Tongtong’s growth, Lin Feng needed to encounter stronger ghosts.
Outside the base city, it truly becomes a ghost’s domain. Although Tongtong was now at dangerous grade, she’s far from invincible, so Lin Feng wouldn’t recklessly charge out.
Therefore, completing missions issued by the base city could lead him to ghosts that Tongtong could handle.
This could perfectly combine with the system’s tasks, allowing him to earn both experience and contribution points.
The communicator listed quite a few tasks.
However, Lin Feng couldn’t handle tasks too far from the base city. For instance, there was a recent report of a “terrifying grade” ghost in an ironworks, which had killed many people. Solving it would earn 2,000 contribution points.
“The ghosts outside the city haven’t been altered. Let’s start by dealing with dangerous-grade ones,” Lin Feng thought.
Soon, he found a suitable task.
A reservoir outside the city had reported a water ghost, classified as dangerous.
However, Lin Feng was too slow, and another ghost controller claimed the task, so he had to keep searching.
Eventually, Lin Feng found another task and immediately accepted it.
This task involved going to Grain Town No. 2 to investigate an issue of grain mysteriously decreasing in a storage warehouse. The locals believed that a “dangerous grade” starved ghost was stealing the grain.
“Ghosts eat grain?” Lin Feng murmured.
Solving this starved ghost issue would earn 200 contribution points. The contribution points weren’t his main concern. Lin Feng was more interested in the system’s reward.
[New task: Have Tongtong kill a fully intact ‘dangerous-gradel’ evil ghost to complete the task. Reward: 300 Ghost Spirit Experience, 1 Ghost Spirit Potential, 1 Bond.]
At this moment, the system’s voice chimed in.
