Chapter 23: Moving Experience! Warning! Lin Feng’s Response!
Inside the tent, Lin Feng was fast asleep.
The weather wasn’t too cold, so Lin Feng didn’t cover himself with much.
His storage space was still one cubic meter. Don’t underestimate one cubic meter — it could hold a lot of things.
The items in the storage space didn’t actually touch each other; each item was stored separately, without stacking or squeezing.
After sleeping for a few hours, Lin Feng woke up.
Sleeping outdoors was ultimately not as comfortable as in the city.
After waking up, Lin Feng unzipped the tent. It was already dawn, with a bit of light in the sky.
“Tongtong?” Then Lin Feng saw Tongtong sitting outside the tent, hugging her knees, with her little head resting on them.
It looked like she had kept watch outside the tent all night.
Before sleeping, Lin Feng had told Tongtong to enter the bow and placed the bow beside his pillow to guard against any sudden ghost attacks.
But unexpectedly, Tongtong had come out in the middle of the night and kept watch outside for so long!
Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel moved!
Tongtong turned her head when she heard Lin Feng’s voice, staring fixedly at him.
Even though her ghost intelligence had increased by one point, she still couldn’t speak.
Lin Feng patted her little head, “Thank you, Tongtong~”
When Lin Feng patted her head, Tongtong made a new gesture. In the past, she would just stare at him without any reaction.
Now, she lowered her head, making it easier for Lin Feng to pat her.
These small changes gave Lin Feng hope.
Maybe one day, if this continued, Tongtong would start talking!
After breakfast, Lin Feng walked to a small stream, finished washing up, and then took out his communicator to connect to the satellite signal.
It was time to locate the next hazard-grade ghost.
After a short search, Lin Feng found a suitable one in just over five minutes.
After accepting the mission, Lin Feng noticed several new messages in his inbox.
There were also quite a few messages in the newbie group.
“Huh? A powerful ghost outside the city? A lot of ghost controllers have returned to the city? No wonder!” After reading the messages, Lin Feng understood why so many hazard-grade ghosts hadn’t been eliminated by other ghost controllers.
Lin Feng also learned from the newbie group that his villa had been watched by some people in recent days.
“Let them watch if they want,” Lin Feng murmured.
“A powerful ghost? The area outside the city is vast. As long as I’m careful, there shouldn’t be any problem,” Lin Feng thought.
Then he started reading his messages.
That day, Lin Feng found that many of the messages were from someone in the newbie group.
Lin Feng opened them.
“Brother Lin, the other day, three ghost controllers in their thirties and forties were asking about you. I noticed that their expressions and tone seemed off. When they went to observe your villa, their expressions were different from other ghost controllers. It looked like they were plotting something. I also noticed that they left the city yesterday, which is quite unusual. I’ve heard that some ghost controllers like to rob or even kill others outside the city, so be careful.”
That person sent a long series of messages like this.
Those three ghost controllers would never have guessed that the 15-year-old newbie ghost controller they questioned, whom they saw as a “brat,” actually had sharp observation skills.
He had noticed subtle changes in their expressions.
“Someone wants to harm me?” This message made Lin Feng more vigilant.
“Ghost controllers in their thirties and forties… they’re probably third or fourth level, but there are three of them…” Lin Feng thought.
“They might not actually want to harm me, but even if they do, the area outside the city is vast. They might not find me. Besides, Tongtong is about to level up, and in battles between ghost controllers, ghost spirits can’t always determine the outcome. As long as Tongtong holds them off for a bit, I can…” Lin Feng started calculating.
If no one offends me, I won’t offend anyone. But if someone tries to mess with me… he would naturally retaliate with a fierce counterattack.
“Wait a minute.” Lin Feng suddenly thought of something and opened the communicator’s mission interface again.
“The area outside the city is vast… and there’s a powerful ghost out there. If they really want to harm me and took the risk of leaving the city, they definitely won’t wander around aimlessly. They must have a way to find me… and that method… is probably through this!” Lin Feng stared at the mission interface, pondering.
Although what the newbie ghost controller said might not be true, it was better to be cautious in such matters.
Those three ghost controllers took such a big risk to leave the city…
If they really wanted to harm Lin Feng, they would likely have a way to find him.
They were in the dark, while Lin Feng was in the light.
Their method, as Lin Feng saw it, was simple.
They couldn’t pinpoint Lin Feng’s exact location, but they had a way to track him through the mission interface!
It was important to know that, in recent days, most ghost controllers had returned to the city, so no one had been taking on fierce-level ghost missions.
Except for…
Lin Feng!
The rule for the mission interface on the communicator was that once a mission was accepted, it would immediately disappear from the interface!
If Lin Feng were in their shoes, he would have someone keep an eye on the communicator, constantly refreshing it. Once a mission was accepted and disappeared, they could quickly identify the general location of that mission using another communicator that hadn’t refreshed the interface.
It’s like before he transmigrated when a webpage was deleted by the developer, but if your computer had already opened the page before deletion, the content would still be stored on your computer. As long as you didn’t refresh, you could still see it. But once refreshed, it would be gone.
Those guys could use multiple communicators to observe the missions that disappeared.
By analyzing the mission description, they could figure out the general location of the task Lin Feng had accepted!
Then they could rush there, set up an ambush, and wait for Lin Feng!
“Let’s change locations first.” Whether or not it was true, Lin Feng decided not to play by their rules until Tongtong leveled up to the Terrifying Grade.
So Lin Feng quickly found another mission to eliminate a hazard-grade ghost and started heading in that direction.
However, Lin Feng didn’t accept the mission.
He just went directly to the location!
In the past, this wouldn’t have worked because hazard-grade ghost missions were too popular. If Lin Feng didn’t accept it, someone else would.
And once someone else accepted it, the base city would forbid him from snatching someone else’s mission.
Of course, Lin Feng could help others eliminate the ghost, but the system rewards would go to the original mission-taker, along with the contribution points and other benefits.
But the problem was…
People might not be willing to let him.
If Lin Feng arrived late, he would have wasted his time.
And since missions disappeared immediately after being accepted… Lin Feng wouldn’t even get to see the mission description.
But now, with missions all over the place, he could afford to do this.
He could eliminate the hazard-grade ghost first, then accept the mission. As for the previous mission, he would use it as bait.
—
“Boss, he’s in Xiaofeng Mountain.”
Lin Feng’s caution was justified.
Because, in a small grain town, those three ghost controllers who were planning to take down Lin Feng had indeed found the location of Lin Feng’s next mission through the method he had predicted.
“Damn it, we’ve been staring at the communicator all day. My eyes are going numb, but we finally found him.”
“Xiaofeng Mountain… it’s not far from us. If we hurry, we can get there before him.”
“Hmph, this brat is bold, daring to run around at this time. If he doesn’t die, who will?”
After identifying the location of Lin Feng’s next mission, the three ghost controllers were full of confidence.
They quickly packed their things and rushed toward the location of the mission Lin Feng had accepted!
