Chapter 9 The City of Death

The blind old man smiled, rubbed the fishy pearl with his fingers and said to me: "Young man, have you seen it? Although I am already blind, I can still catch the pearls from the sea. These hands are my eyes. This sea is like my body to me. Over the years, I still know it well."

After accompanying the blind old man back to the small thatched house, he still didn't mention the matter of the appraisal master. I couldn't help but feel a little anxious and couldn't help asking: "Old man, I want to ask you about the address of the appraisal master. Can you tell me?"

"Do you want to learn the appraisal from him?" the old man asked.

I nodded, suddenly realized that he couldn't see it, so I replied, "Yes, I really want to learn this craft, too."

The old man shook his head and sighed and said, "The master has no place to live, and I don't know where he lives now. But I can give you this black pearl. If you see him one day, please tell him about my affairs. Maybe he will take a ghost as his disciple."

"Old man, you..." He knew I was a ghost, and he was not afraid at all?

The blind old man smiled and said, "Do you think I'm blind and really don't know anything? That day when you entered my room, I didn't even feel a trace of breath. Moreover, you have been with me for so long and I haven't heard your breathing. What are you not a ghost?"

I didn't know what to say for a moment, and the blind old man continued, "But no matter whether you are a human or a ghost, I believe that your heart is kind, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to help me such a blind old man. Believe me, those who have ambition will succeed. You will definitely be able to do what you want."

When I walked out of the blind old man's thatched house, I cursed in my heart: "Damn it, I wasted a long time, but I didn't even ask for a name or address. What a f*ck." But the black pearl given to me by the blind old man was obviously a task item. Maybe one day I met the master he mentioned, and it would work if I didn't do it well.

Seeing that it was getting dark, my weak time was almost over. When I returned to the hero's tomb and lost the mission, I ran straight to the Jiwen Pool, and suddenly I ran to the Jiwen Pool...uh...a ghost hit me right.

"It's you." The man said.

I looked up and saw that it was another ghost wolf.

I laughed and said, "It seems that we are not ordinary destined to be together. We actually met again here. Should we form a team?"

"No need." Guilang shook his head and said, "I plan to change my job in the main city now. Free Industry is now recruiting new spokespersons. So I plan to try it after the job is changed."

"Recruiting a new spokesperson?" I was stunned. Even I, the former spokesperson and boss of Liberty Industry, didn't know about this matter. It must be Xiaohua and Duanya's two boys who made their own decisions. Although they would bring considerable benefits to the company every time they made their own decisions, as the boss, I can't just ask about anything. Besides, I'm still here, what new spokesperson will be hired? Could it be...

Yes, no one knows that I have deleted my account now. The shooting and picking activities in the Western mainland have completely stopped. Huaxia Company will not sue me for breach of contract, right? But even if they sue me, I have a reason. I did not commit suicide on purpose, so who asked the system to give me some unfinished tasks?

"What are you thinking?" Guilang saw me stunned and couldn't help asking, "Do you want to try it too? I heard that after becoming a spokesperson, the income is very good, and I can get the support of Free Industry, both in reality and in the game, there will be many conveniences."

No one knows the benefits better than me, but I can’t ask me to recruit myself, right?

I shook my head and said to Guilang: "If I go, wouldn't there be one more person to compete with you? You go, I have a job, so there is no need to be this spokesperson."

"This has nothing to do with work. What's wrong with having an extra income?" said Guilang: "And you are different from my profession. You are a Taoist priest. I am a knight, without conflict. I think you are an old player, so there should be hope."

There is no conflict between the hero and the Taoist priest? What plane are they doing on Broken Teeth?

"I can consider it." People said so, but I couldn't refuse on the spot, so I had to say: "Maybe we will be spokespersons together by then, so there will be more opportunities for cooperation."

Guilang nodded and said, "Yes, I also hope to cooperate with you in the future. It seems that you have very experienced in collecting herbs before. I still have a lot of things to ask you for advice. But if you really don't want to go, I advise you to stay here for a while, which will be beneficial."

This is the second time he mentioned that I should not rush to change jobs. What are the benefits of this? But the answer is about to be accepted, because with a little more, my experience will be enough to advance to level 11. At that time, I will have to see what I am willing to stay at level 10 and not change jobs.

The earth-summoning banner in my hand eliminates the souls of soldiers. Boring monster killing is already common for me, and nothing special.

Another "ding" sound, I waited for the ground not as the previous upgrade prompt, but another sentence: "Hundred Ghost Yasha players, your experience has reached the upgrade requirements. Since your reputation in the Hero Tomb exceeds 500, the system gives you a reward, and you can exchange level one experience for skill points 5. Should I choose to upgrade or convert experience into 5 skill points?"

Damn it!

No wonder Ghost Wolf is unwilling to upgrade here, and he said that he is almost over twenty levels, and he is indeed much easier to fight monsters than me. It turns out that it is because of this.

Everyone knows that every level of skill points upgraded is very valuable. If I hadn't obtained more skill points than others for a period of time, how could I have achieved success and status today?

I guess this reward will definitely be cancelled after exceeding level 10 or leaving the novice village. Otherwise, if players keep using experience to exchange for skill points, people in the world will not be willing to upgrade. You should know that as long as the skill points are sufficient, except that they cannot learn the skills and wear the equipment at the corresponding level. Even players at higher levels will not be much worse.

There is no need to think about this, of course I won’t upgrade it anymore.

There is not much experience to upgrade to level 10 to level 11. If you lose a little, you can change to 5 skill points. If you have two times, it is equivalent to upgrading to level one level. In the future, I will be one level higher than others in the sky. If you don’t do such good things, you will be a fool. There are only a lot of players in the world who only look at the level.

Divide 5 skill points into two points to physical strength and soul, and the remaining one point into agility, I began to continue to fight soldiers' souls to gain reputation. A whole night, I converted all my level three experience into skill points, with less reputation than the previous one, but there were 300 points. After all, I am not as fast as the ghost wolf when I fight monsters now.

By the time I was offline, it was already past four o'clock, so I took a nap and accompanied Yunyun to the company. Yunyun was not very clear about the spokesperson, so I still had to ask Xiaohua and Duanya in person.

"I said, Boss, you're finally here." Broken Ya saw me and immediately looked like he was reunited with his relatives after a long time, and ran towards me with his arms open.

"Stop doing this." I avoided his hug, turned my head and sat on the sofa, and asked coldly: "What's going on with the new spokesperson? I haven't told Yunyun yet. Don't you take me, the boss, seriously?"

"If you tell your sister-in-law, can you still come to the company?" Xiaohua walked in from the door with a pile of documents in his arms and said with a smile.

"Who said I won't come?" I replied guiltily.

But to be honest, I, the boss, did take it a bit of a dereliction of duty. I used to be in the Western Continent, but I was still in charge of shooting. Of course, I had an excuse not to come to the company. But now I have thrown all the affairs in the game to Yunyun, and it would be a bit unreasonable if I didn’t come to work.

"Come on!" Broken teeth sat next to me and said pretending: "You are alone in the Eastern Continent, leaving us alone, and don't even know what the name of the new account is. How do you make us believe that you are a dedicated boss? Do you know? We were almost sued by the Huaxia Company a while ago!"

"They dare!" I stood up with a folded table and said loudly, "It was not their cause for this now. If they dare to sue me, I dare to go to court with them."

"It's not that exaggerating!" Xiaohua smiled and said, "Actually, Huaxia Company responded the day after you deleted the account. After all, they know your situation better than us. It's just that Huaxia Company asked us to come up with a brand new plan to solve this problem. So, Xiaojian and I just made the plan and asked you to discuss it."

"Yes, yes!" Broken teeth said with a smile: "With our iron-toothed bronze teeth, you can say that you can survive. It would be strange if the Huaxia company dares to sue us. Boss, don't worry, continue to be your Emperor Xiaoyao."

I glanced at the tip of my teeth and opened the documents I handed to me. They were all about the new spokesperson's hype and publicity plans.

It seems that Xiaohua and Broken Ya think more than me. It can be seen that this plan was definitely not ordered in just one or two days, but was prepared in advance before I deleted my account.

It is clear above that although "Legend of Heaven and Earth" is a promotion and strategy for game missions, its race and profession are too single, and it will not meet the needs of the majority of players in the long run. Therefore, Free Industry decided to launch the second series "Legend of Heaven and Earth", which will include skills display, operation skills, etc. of different races and professions in the East and West.

"It seems you have planned it long ago?" I kept nodding and said to Xiaoyan with a smile.

Xiaohua pushed the glasses on his nose and said embarrassedly: "I'm just thinking about the company. When I thought of this plan, I was afraid that you would not be happy. Unexpectedly, if something happened to happen, this plan would be used."

"Very good." I signed the document and asked, "I heard that you have sent out recruitment. How about the candidates? Of course, it is the first priority for people to be trusted, but you should also pay attention to the selection of strength."

"That's certainly." Duanya talked about serious matters, and he became serious. He took out a copy from the document and handed it to me and said: "This time, every race and profession combination in different places has a spokesperson. There is no problem with the West. There is a Tianying Legion holding on, and I believe outsiders can't grab it. But it's a little difficult in the East. The people we sent here are not familiar with the other side, and it's difficult to take the lead role in a short period of time. So I discussed with Xiaozhe and decided to recruit on the spot, choose a few players of high levels and trustworthy positions. On the one hand, it can be used for publicity. On the other hand, it can also absorb some fresh blood for the company."

I was flipping through the thick player profile, but I didn't expect so many people to register in just one day. Each file filled in the real information of the player, as well as the local ID king profession, race, current level and equipment status in the game.

Suddenly, a familiar name jumped into my eyes, and I couldn't help but be stunned: "Zhang Yu?"

"Are you scared?" Broken Ya pointed to the file and said to me: "If the photos weren't different, I would have thought it was you, boss. This Yaksha Ghost Wolf is also called Zhang Yu, but he is only level 10, and the number creation time is not short, so I don't think he has a chance."

"Not necessarily." I shook my head and smiled, "I know this player in the game. Although his level is only ten, his strength is equivalent to a player of twenty."

"Is there such a thing?" Xiaohua looked at me at the same time and asked strangely. Duanya said even more exaggeratedly: "Boss, you shouldn't say this on purpose just because you know him?"

I gave Broken Tooth punch and said angrily: "Are you old, am I that kind of person?"

Broken teeth made a somewhat similar expression. If it weren't for the little words, I would really want to beat this kid to the third place.

"That's right." I sorted out my clothes, told them the whole story, and then said: "After the opening of the New World, the system seems to have made many adjustments. So when you choose a spokesperson, don't just look at the level and equipment, there are many factors worth considering. I think don't rush to decide the candidate now. I can suggest that Huaxia Company holds a world number one martial arts competition in the Eastern World. But if the time is pushed a little later, you will see the difference."

"It's better for the boss to think about it for the long term..." Broken teeth flattered him, and he got a dark circle.

Before I knew it, a whole month passed, and my level was only eleven, but the skills of the Soul Conjuring Banner had reached the advanced level, and its reputation was 17,000. When the ghosts in the Hero Tomb saw me, I had to respectfully call "Brother Yasha".

As for the rewards for skill points, they no longer have it after the 20th time, so I was promoted to the next level. However, at the current level 11, I, except for not having corresponding skills and equipment, are actually no different from a level 20 player, or even higher. Because even if I upgrade normally, I may not necessarily have five points of skill points to be added every time.

There are no more tasks here, and the Soul-Induction Lamp has been completed. There are quite a few thirty-six ghosts, and each one has a follow-up task. However, when the Hungry Ghost at the Needle is back, he still calls me hungry when he sees me. No matter what he gives him, he can't eat it.

One month is enough to make me familiar with this originally small novice village. If I don’t even know how to do the task, it only means that this task cannot be completed here.

After packing my backpack, I decided to go to the main city of the ghost clan to take a look.

When I walked to the Yin-Yang Ferry and paid a fee, I jumped onto a paper-made lotus lantern and walked lightly along the dark Yin River towards the main city.

"Don't look back when the hero goes, there is a road or no head..." The soul-stimulating lamp floated over my head at some point and said something inexplicably strange to me.

After about ten minutes, the lotus lantern carrying me finally delivered me to my destination - Wu Death City.

I jumped ashore and the lotus lantern immediately sank into the water.

I looked around and found that there were no NPCs guarding the ferry, and there were no lotus lanterns. It seemed that this was a road without going back.

There is a mountain outside the hero's tomb, and there is no way to go. Only this Yin River and the vast sea can lead to the outside world. It seems that I don't plan to let players go back to the novice village. However, there will be flying pets in the future, and I can also take a boat or build a mechanical beast similar to a mechanical flying dragon. I won't be afraid that I will not be able to go back there if I need it in the future. Besides, I still have a bunch of hero's tomb's return talismans.

The main city is the main city, which cannot be compared with the novice village.

As soon as I entered the city, I immediately felt the bustle and prosperity of the place.

Ghost players and NPCs of different professions floated all over the streets, and even players from humans and demons also came here to do tasks or buy and sell items.

I asked the direction of the bank from Gui Yi, who was guarding the gate. I quickly walked towards the center of the Wudi City.

The big brazier in the Hero Tomb can only save money, not items. Even if I carry a large backpack of level 50, so many things are not enough for me to pretend.

"I heard that Wanzhou Villa is collecting people. Do we want to go and have a look?" As I was walking, a voice suddenly reached my ears, causing me to stop involuntarily. The wine shop is indeed the place with the most rumors and gossip. The sound came from a tavern called Qianlixiang not far away next to me.

Logically speaking, ghosts should not eat, but how can they deprive the players of this enjoyment when playing games? So although ghost players will not feel hungry, they can still eat.

Think about it, after eating the stove roasted rice dishes in the Hero Tomb, I never dared to eat in the game again. Now that I have arrived at the main city, I should enjoy it.

Anyway, there was no hurry, so I went into Qianlixiang. I just found a seat by the window and sat down, just opposite the player I was talking to. The reason I remembered him was very simple, because his name was so distinctive, called: Don’t be angry and don’t fart.

"Wanshou Villa? You said that the land was the newly built gang. From the gang leader to the elders and guardians, they all moved from the Eastern Continent. They broke through level 20 in just half a month and then established Wanshou Villa?" asked a player named Xiaojiu, sitting opposite the angrily and fart.

"That's that." He looked left and right without being angry and said mysteriously: "I've inquired. This Wanzhou Villa is actually a person from a large gang in the Western Continent. It seems to be dominating the two continents of the East and West. So it's not wrong to join them at all, and it's definitely good."

What gang is so angry? Even my Demon House is considered a top force in the Western Continent. If it weren't for the support of Lingyun Pavilion, Long Teng and Blood, I wouldn't dare say such big talk.

I ordered a few side dishes casually, and while I was patient, I listened to the two stinky farts.

"I know what you said, I want to go in." Xiaodiao said, "But it's not that easy to enter Wanzhou Villa? I heard that their rules for collecting people are very strange. They don't look at the level or equipment, and they don't care about race combinations. Except for players with high life skills, if others want to go in, they have to fight with the people in them. They can get in if they can win, and there are bonuses. If they can't win, they don't even have a door. Do you think this is a bit weird?"

"What's so strange about this?" He snorted and said, "This is called caution. Only by screening people can you understand it. A high level is useless. You can only hit monsters but not people. The operation is like vermicelli, and the horse shit is shit outside. But then again, Wanzhou Villa pays so much attention to PK skills, and probably the legend is true."

"Then the relationship is good." said the little dancer: "Anyway, our brothers are idle, so why not try it. There are people who are leveling up during the day so that they don't have to worry about weakness."

"You have to go tonight if you want to go. I heard that those who are going to fight are not ghost players. Are you afraid of going to die at that time?"

"Yes... Then let's go again tonight..."

Just looking at the skills but not the level? It’s interesting, I actually went to the same place as me. It seems that if I don’t go and see it, it will definitely be unreasonable.

If I want to gain a foothold in the Eastern Continent, the relationship here must be well established. I believe that Wanshou Villa is not simple. If I can't be friends, it will be my biggest enemy.

After checking out, I walked out of Qianlixiang and was surprised to see a familiar sign - "Baoke Talking Association".

These guys actually came here too. It seems that the business path is very wide.

Their reputation in the Western continent is there, and I believe that business will be good here. Xiaohua has some friendship with them, so he turned around and asked him to contact him. There are more times when he needs them in the future.

I went to the Yinsi Bank to save all the materials on my body and planned to take over the transfer task. But I didn’t know that NPC Guiyi actually told me that there were no mercenary associations here. If I wanted to change my job, I had to find various professions. In other words, if I wanted to change my job and become a Taoist priest, I had to find a Taoist temple.
