Chapter 374: Entering the Dream: Reentering the Mining Area
"!!!"
When Lin Chen heard the Thunderstorm Zone’s external statement, he became angry on the spot.
Feeling that his dignity had been greatly insulted, he immediately ran to the entrance of the thunderstorm area to protest.
The security guard at the entrance to the thunderstorm area was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he refused to let Lin Chen in.
They received a death order to stop the devil from coming out at all costs.
However, Lin Chen was not so easy to get rid of. He did not give up until the thunderstorm zone finally announced that it would temporarily suspend business for rectification and treated everyone equally.
The news that the Thunderstorm Zone had to close down because of the Ghost of Mischief quickly spread throughout the Crown Ghost City.
Some evil spirits were stunned as if they were listening to a foreign language.
"This mischievous ghost is too evil. It's a good thing that the thunderstorm area is closed, otherwise I think this thunderstorm area would be gone."
"That's right. This kid seems to be a disaster. So many things happened on his first day in Crown Ghost City. It's going to be exciting to watch next."
The nightmare ghost, who felt hatred and resentment towards Lin Chen, had a ferocious look on his face.
“You destroyed the Dark Demon Fire Domain and the Ghost Power Room without any problems. You are indeed a mischievous ghost and are highly respected. But how can you pass this level tonight? No matter how strong you are, you can’t be a match for a Ghost King-level invisible ghost…”
The two ghosts, Heimu, who were sorting out everything in the ruins, felt like crying but had no tears. They thought that if Lin Chen had gone to the thunderstorm area and the dark demon fire area first, the ghost power room would probably not have been in trouble.
…
On the other side, in the garden of the great elder that Lin Chen had visited before.
The Great Elder was drinking tea alone, and on the tea table was the bag of good tea that Lin Chen had given him.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of someone who has played in dungeons and interacted with human players, this tea is really good."
The Great Elder took a sip and looked very enjoyable.
Of course , this does not mean that the tea from Blue Star is better than the tea that the ghosts in the horror world drink, but that the Great Elder has a special preference for it.
The figure of the city lord appeared out of thin air.
"Teacher." The city lord spoke, and looking at the appearance of the great elder, he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
"cough……"
The elder was startled and almost choked on his tea. He quickly put away the tea set and tea leaves on the table and replaced them with the tea dregs he had brewed for Lin Chen. He said, "My good disciple, why did you come out of retreat early?"
The smile on the city lord's face froze, and he said helplessly: "Teacher, how can you treat your apprentice like this? You hide all the good things and give me tea leaves to drink?"
"You don't like these, so it's a waste for you." The elder didn't care and said with a smile.
The city lord shook his head and said, "The Dark Demon Fire Territory was destroyed by the Mixed World Ghost, so I came out."
"What? That brat destroyed the Dark Demon Fire Region again?"
The Great Elder was stunned and immediately shocked. Then his expression became unusually serious and he asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
The city lord smiled and said, "He has the source of fire."
"Fire source!"
The Great Elder was startled, then stood up. He didn't even care that the tea table, which he usually treasured, was overturned. He looked at the City Lord with great joy and said, "So, your hidden disease has been cured?"
"Yes." The city lord also had a strong smile on his face.
He then recounted what happened in the Fire Region, and when he talked about how he closed his eyes and opened them again, the entire Fire Region disappeared. There was a look of helplessness on his face, and the Great Elder laughed as he listened.
When talking about Lin Chen slaughtering thousands of Dark Fire Beasts alone, the two ghosts' faces showed emotion.
"You were at the scene, so you relived everything, right? How do you think that kid's strength compares to the invincible mythical Ghost King?" asked the Great Elder.
"Among the old Ghost Kings, there are some invincible ghost species that have condensed peerless ghost domains and have been cultivated for many years by major forces with secret methods. This kind of strength is indeed far beyond that of ordinary Ghost Kings, and can indeed be called a legend among Ghost Kings." The city lord said, and then he thought about it and concluded:
"But Ye's strength is still much stronger than these mythical ghost kings. The ghost of chaos killed thousands of ghost king-level dark fire beasts in the fire domain. Whether it is hard power or resilience, it is far beyond any ghost king. Moreover, he should have a second ghost power, so he can continuously burst out with energy."
There was deep appreciation in his eyes, and he was generous in his praise.
He also explained the reason why Lin Chen was able to continuously kill thousands of Dark Fire Beasts.
In front of a ghost of this level, any ability displayed by Lin Chen could be seen clearly by them instantly.
“But we can’t withstand the large number of mythical ghost kings. The sea of red spider lilies is about to bloom , and the mythical ghost kings hidden by major forces will not be absent by then. It’s a pity that the two mythical ghost kings in our Mian Gui City have both achieved the status of palace masters, and now they are still picking up scraps from the ruins of the ghost power room, and there is no ghost to help them.” The great elder sighed.
"Since Ye has arrived in Mian Gui City, he will naturally fight on behalf of Mian Gui City. Our Mian Gui City has blocked the way of other forces, making them resentful, so there will be a lot of conflicts at that time. But I still have some confidence in him." The city lord smiled.
After the conversation, he has confirmed that the Great Elder attaches great importance to Hunshigui, so his favorability towards Lin Chen has increased a lot again.
The Great Elder nodded but did not continue speaking.
He stretched out his hand and the tea table that he had just overturned automatically turned up, and the tea that spilled on the ground returned to the teacup.
It seemed as if the messy scene just now had never happened from the beginning to the end.
…
Night falls.
After what happened during the day, Lin Chen never went out again.
The storm was raging, and wherever he went, everyone's attention was focused on him, so he had no chance to catch the ghost.
And those ghosts were more cowardly than each other, and none of them openly challenged him.
The Red family, who had had friction with him, also quieted down and looked extremely honest.
This made him feel helpless.
He entered the city as a mischievous ghost just to attract hatred, an identity that was so brilliant that in his eyes, challengers should have been constant.
At the very least, there should be some provocation so that he can take advantage of it to lose his temper.
As a result, Tianhuang and the others actually had a literary duel...
"If I had known earlier, I would have entered the city as an ordinary ghost, so I wouldn't be watched..." Lin Chen sighed.
This was not a misjudgment on his part. It was mainly because the rules of the Crown Ghost City that he had heard before, which had no restrictions on combat, had been changed, resulting in an information gap.
"God bless you, please send a strong and valuable ghost to my room..." Lin Chen lay down on the bed and fell asleep on his side.
He still had plenty of Shengui coins on him, so he could visit the mining area again.
[Balance of Shengui Coin: 15.5 million]
The ghost caught last time is still in the iron pot. There are many powerful ghosts in Mian Ghost City. Even when he is alone, Lin Chen is still worried that there are ghosts watching him, so he never took out the pink sack.
He can use the identity of a mischievous ghost to do whatever he wants, but he must not reveal the fact that he is a human being, otherwise the Great Elder who is quite nice to him and the City Lord who is quite optimistic about him might turn against him on the spot.
Therefore, Lin Chen will not be in a hurry.
"Turn on the dream function and go to Mine Cave No. 599 in Mine Area No. 3890."
Lin Chen gave the order.
Since he turned on this function, he has not actively used it. Now he has both time and Shengui coins, so Lin Chen plans to go into the mining area again, maybe there will be some special discoveries.
【Location has been selected.】
[Time: 1 minute, cost: 1 million Shengui coins. (Can be renewed in the dream world)]
[Tip: During the dream, the host cannot interfere with anything he sees or hears, and the host's existence cannot be sensed. ]
Following a familiar feeling of rotation and weightlessness, Lin Chen's consciousness once again appeared in the dark and huge mine cave.
As soon as he entered, Lin Chen was attracted by a shout.
"Hoo! Ha! Hoo! Ha!"
A male ghost was carrying a crystal stone the size of a watermelon and walking towards the depths of the mine with great difficulty.
And this male ghost was exactly the first ghost Lin Chen saw when he first came to the mining area, the young man with iron chains on his body, a true king-level existence who was even more powerful than Chonglan.
No. 23 in the 599th mine in the 3890 mining area!
"Is this the ore? It's so heavy that even a True King has to put so much effort into it." Lin Chen couldn't help but be surprised.
He looked at the crystal carefully.
The crystal has obvious edges and corners, is round in shape, has a blue glow inside, and appears translucent.
"Hey! I'm so tired."
No. 23 put the divine crystal on the ground, took a deep breath, and then said to the figure in the shadows: "Boss, the divine crystals in the mine layer have decreased recently. Although there are 25 new people, we are more tired than before because we have to mine more mine layers."
The figure in the shadows sat up. It was miner No. 1, also the foreman of the mine, Master Gu.
He was not being lazy, but was extremely tired and was taking the agreed-upon rest time.
He said: "We have to report this to the higher-ups. Even though we are ghosts, we can't be so inhumane. Why should my mission remain the same as before just because there are fewer divine crystals in the mine? This is not fair!"
No. 23 smiled and said, "Boss, have you forgotten that you mentioned this matter last time? Not only did you not reduce the quota, but you were also beaten up by the ghost who inspected your work..."
Lin Chen was a little surprised. This Bone Master was already an eight-star lucky ghost, but he was beaten just for making a suggestion. Is the sky so dark in this mining area?
"Hmph, it's all because of you. Those inspectors are simply inhumane. They even have the guts to attack an old ghost like me." Grandpa Gu said angrily.
At this time, the twenty-five ghost players that Lin Chen sold came over carrying the divine crystals.
The faces of these ghosts have become extremely numb . They all look as if they are broken, with no life in their eyes.
They were all dressed in grey linen clothes.
Written behind them are No. 75, No. 76, No. 77... until No. 100.
Compared to No. 23, they could only move some walnut-sized divine crystals. Even so, they were still exhausted, sweating, panting, and their steps were extremely difficult.
“These newcomers haven’t recovered yet. When we accidentally entered the mining area, they all behaved like this. It will probably take some time for them to face the reality.” No. 23 said.
Bone Master's eyes flickered, and then he pointed at the Ghost King with the number 75 written on his back and said, "Come here for a moment."
No. 75 was very calm. A ghost king could remain calm even when facing a creation-level ghost. This state was unimaginable to him in the outside world.
Because he knew that the other party would not kill him, and had even prevented him from committing suicide five times...
He put down the divine crystal and walked up to Master Gu.
"You said that the person who sent you in was a human named Chen. Is there any way to contact him?" asked Master Gu.
As soon as Master Gu's words came out, not only No. 75 was absent from work, but the other twenty-four Ghost Kings also changed their expressions on the spot. It was a hatred that was engraved in their bones.
It is a hatred that is more difficult to let go than a murderous grudge.
