Spooky Recovery

By Ashley Whitehead

Ghosts and monsters run rampant across the globe.

Ancient spirits reappear on earth.

Yu Xiao, however, becomes the only gamer.

He was surprised to find that mosquitoes and flies had become wild monsters, everyone had become NPCs that could issue quests, and as long as an area where a weird event had occurred, a field copy was a

Chapter 6: The Study Room

Every time you enter the copy need to consume the challenge volume, and the player mall can directly buy one-star copy of the challenge coupon, the price is 500 gold coins, there are 508 gold coins in hand, just can take a full payment.

500 game coins.

It's good for five thousand dollars.

That's no small number for a college student.

But there's nothing to hesitate about, after all, it's easy money, and as cool as it is to make money killing bugs, a big old man should aim high and have more ambitious pursuits shouldn't he?

The more you put in, the more you get out.

Buy decisively!

One-star challenge tickets can only challenge one-star replicas, and one-star replicas aren't rare, judging from the game map, it can be said that they are everywhere, and there are two within the school alone.

One is called The Evil Ghost Study Room.

One is called The Art of Horror Building.

The former is located in the middle of the library and the latter in the old Fine Arts building, neither of which is too far away, so pick one of those.

Hesitate again and again.

Yu Xiao decided to choose evil ghost study room.

Although they are both one-star pints, the Evil Ghost Study Room has a recommended rating of 3, and the Horror Art Building has a recommended rating of 5.

The horror art building is obviously much more difficult!

He had just reached level 4, his equipment and skills were too little, and it was his first time to play a copy, so a steady hand was better.

When Yu Xiao arrived near the library of Hangzhou University.

[Players have entered the side area Evil Ghost Study Room!]

[Do you challenge the copy? Yes/No]

Haven't walked into the library yet.

The prompt for the copy came up.

This suggests that it is not necessary to enter the incident to swipe a copy, and that a copy can be activated by arriving at the valid area.

Although even if you fail, you won't really die, and at most you will lose some experience as well as your loot list, it's inevitable that you will still be a little nervous about going down a copy for the first time.

This step.

Sooner or later, you have to take a step.

Yu Xiao made a decisive choice: Yes!

Next moment.

Blackness in front of my eyes first.

The five senses returned in a whirlwind.

The surroundings have changed.

This would be one of the study rooms inside the library.

Hangzhou University, as a 985 university with a large number of learners, still has a very strong learning atmosphere, and there are a large number of such study rooms in the library, which are overcrowded and hard to find one every day.

However.

This study room looks like it's been abandoned for years.

The potted plants are withered, the walls are stained, and the tables and chairs are gathering dust.

Outside the window, the campus was shrouded in dusk, without half a human figure, quiet and eerie, as if a still background painting, giving people a sense of distortion.

This is a copy?

This is obviously no longer the real world, but a copy space generated by the game, the window should just be a background mapping, the only real place to move around is just this study room.

Not waiting for further observations.

Yu Xiao then heard the sound of tables and chairs moving, and hurriedly took out his Rat Bone Short Sword and turned to face the location where the sound came from.

Who!

Only to see the back row seats of the study room, there is a black long straight tall woman stretched out her head, when she saw that Yu Xiao was alive, her eyes showed a color of surprise, then nervous apprehension whispered.

Classmate!

Take cover!

This place is haunted!

Yu Xiao realized that the opponent's head was covered with a green name, and green names usually represented friendly units.

Not a monster?

Tap the name tab.

[Song Jiajia], Level 1, Life 55/55, Blood Aura 3, Spirit 8. Synopsis: A student of Hang University's School of Economics and Management, with high popularity within the school, if you can protect her from fewer injuries, you will receive a higher rating when the copy is settled, and the copy fails if the character dies.

What's the situation?

Is it a copy npc?

And it's tied to a copy.

If you can keep her alive and make her take less damage in the copy, it will directly increase the benefit of the copy.

If Song Jiajia was killed, then this copy challenge would be a direct failure, not only wasting a challenge roll, but also losing all the loot gained in the copy.

Elements of this game.

Looks like it's richer than expected then.

Even the copies are not just monsters.

This is still just a copy of the lowest level, the most ordinary copy, if you challenge the advanced high difficulty copy in the future, I'm afraid that there will not be a more complex copy of the plot and copy of the task.

Yu Xiao stepped forward and asked, Why are you here?

I ...... I don't know!

I'm studying for my sprint exams and I didn't think I'd doze off like this.

Song Jiajia wearing a white dress, pretty appearance, outstanding temperament, it seems to be the family's excellent grasp of the big girl, even in this environment, but also did not have an emotional breakdown, trying to remain calm, the mental quality is also very good.

I've tried escaping from this study room, but every time I rush out, I'm automatically transferred back ...... We might be caught up in the shenanigans!

There have been no shortage of rumors and reports of bizarre events over the years.

Many people are said to die directly or indirectly from these incidents every year in the country alone.

But in terms of probability of death, the likelihood of dying from a bizarre event can be far less than a car accident, fire, earthquake, or the like.

It's a long way off for most people.

Who would have thought they were next.

A sudden gust of cloudy wind lifted the dust and books from the desktop, and the wind was laced with the sound of a mournful and eerie wailing.

No good!

It's them!

They're coming out again!

Yu Xiao realized that the ghostly figure of a young man had emerged in the study room, his feet levitating off the ground, his eyes completely rolled over white, his ten fingers dark and long and pointed, and a black aura shrouding his body.

Name at the top of the head.

Bright red like blood.

This represents hostile units.

[Ghost of an Unjustly Dead Student], Level 2, Life 30, Skill: Ghost Crying ...... Synopsis: An innocent student killed by an evil ghost.

The student ghosts directly bled from their seven orifices and cried out miserably.

I'm so dead!

The cry was piercing, like a sharp cone that pierced the eardrums and stabbed the brain with pain.

Song Jiajia life-5.

Yu Xiao Life-1.

This is the student ghost's ghost cry skill!

As for why Song Jiajia lost 5 vitality points while Yu Xiao only lost 1?

Because Yu Xiao was already level 4.

Blood and spirit are over twenty points.

The blood qi value will enhance all physical qualities to improve physical defense, while the spirit value will enhance the perception of will, thus enhancing spiritual defense and various resistances.

The injuries sustained are naturally different.

Song Jiajia covered her ears in pain and said, It's over, it's over, we're dead!

Don't be afraid, hide!

Yu Xiao decisively rolled out.

It would be a lie not to get weak in the face of weirdness for the first time.

But this pouncer boy gave it a go right off the bat!

Crying so hard!

Eat shit you!

Yu Xiao was directly hot-blooded and suppressed his instinctive fear, stabbing his sword fiercely.

The student ghost twisted his head and tried to run, but he wasn't fast enough and was stabbed directly into his asshole by the short sword, causing him to let out a mournful scream.

-16!

A large amount of black gas evaporated from the student ghost's body, which darkened its otherwise fairly solid body.

Attacks are effective!

No chance of a counterattack.

Yu Xiao flipped his wrist, and the sword blade quickly sliced through the student ghost's body from bottom to top.

-19!

The student ghost body completely collapsed and evaporated.

[You have killed the unjustly dead student ghost, experience +12, gold +20! You have gained the Wandering Soul Helmet!

Chapter 7: Game Gear That Can Be Hidden

Uh ......

That's dead?

What a weak feeling!

The first time he decapitated a ghostly creature, he only found it surprisingly easy, and it seemed that these existences weren't as terrifying as he had imagined.

Of course.

It's not that the student ghosts are too weak.

Rather, relative to the student ghosts, Yu Xiao was too strong.

Ordinary people do not borrow special tools or means, unless they are born with strong yang energy, it is very difficult to injure to cause harm to the Yin spirit.

Yu Xiao possessed more than twenty points of blood qi, which was more than twice as high as the mortal limit, and the yang qi spawned by his powerful blood qi was enough to allow him to easily suppress such low-level ghosts.

Other than that.

The Rat Bone Short Sword wasn't a mortal weapon either.

It is a weapon that contains special power.

Even an ordinary person using it could slash low-level ghosts and monsters, and it was no surprise that Yu Xiao was able to decapitate the student ghosts in two hits.

Bursting with stuff!

The student ghost exploded a gray ball of light, which was automatically picked up by the player's spatial backpack, and appeared to be a piece of equipment.

Yu Xiao quickly opened her backpack and checked it out.

【Wandering Soul Helmet】(Game Equipment), Gray Lower Grade, +1 Damage Immunity, +2 Independent Defense, Durability 10/10.

Sure enough, it's an outfit.

Helmets belong to the Defense category of equipment.

Although it was still the lowest level of gray equipment, it was also far second to normal helmet gauntlets.

Damage Immunity +1, which means that as long as this equipment is worn, no matter what part of the body is damaged, it will always cancel out 1 point of damage value.

Independent Defense +2, a defense generated by the helmet itself, mitigates damage to the head when the helmet is worn.

The defense of this helmet itself would be no less than the tactical steel helmets used by special forces.

Not to mention that it comes with full body damage immunity?

For ordinary people, this is definitely considered a treasure, and wearing it can improve survival ability by a lot!

[You're equipped with a wandering spirit helmet!]

[The current equipment is in hidden mode!

Yu Xiao didn't hesitate to equip the helmet, but surprisingly, there wasn't anything extra on his head, and even he himself couldn't feel the helmet exist.

What's going on?

Where's the helmet?

Yu Xiao repeatedly confirmed that he had indeed equipped the helmet, but his hands were able to directly grip his hair, and inevitably felt confused.

Decidedly check the instructions.

After a quick look around.

It took Yu Xiao a moment to realize what was going on.

In the game, all equipment can be turned on in hidden mode, except for weapons or shields, which must be revealed.

Under the Hood.

The equipment will not manifest on the body.

Doesn't affect the equipment effect though.

Instead of being equipped, it was fused with the body, and the equipment abilities were directly integrated into the body, becoming part of one's own strength.

That's a nice feature.

Yu Xiao instantly felt that there was a lot less trouble.

The game is a lot of strange and weird equipment, are strutting around wearing on the body, under the public occasions more or less some hot eyes, just think about it feel some shame ah!

It's okay now.

After hiding.

It keeps a low profile and hides its strength at the same time.

There is also no possibility of being forcibly disarmed.

Even if they appear in front of the enemy fully armed, the other side will not see the equipment at all and will most likely take it lightly, thus making a wrong assessment of the strength and preparation of both sides.

Not bad!

Nice feature!

The first copy monster.

Just popped nice loot.

This open door has boosted Yu Xiao's confidence.

Song Jiajia had already slowed down, the process of Yu Xiao's two sword beheadings of the ghosts was clear to her, and at the moment, her face was filled with shock.

Same ...... classmates!

You killed the ghost!

How is this guy so good.

It was actually possible to decapitate horrible ghosts and monsters!

I've heard that the officials have formed a special department that specializes in dealing with all sorts of bizarre incidents, could he be the rescuer sent by the special department?

That's great!

Saved!

Song Jiajia was like a drowning man grasping at straws.

It's no big deal, it's just the weakest little ghost. Yu Xiao turned back to her and said, There must be more than one ghost like this, keep hiding and stay safe!

Sure enough.

The wind is rising again.

Another student ghost has appeared.

Song Jiajia hurriedly crouched under the seat again, all she could do at a time like this was to pray.

Yu Xiao sort of saw it.

Copy mechanism for the study room.

Roughly similar to the game's brush room.

The only real space for the entire copy is this not-so-large study room. Monsters will appear in waves of refreshes, so as long as you keep a steady pace and clean up in time, you should have no problem taking this copy.

The student ghost just took shape.

Haven't had a chance to attack yet.

It was then quickly cut down by two sword lights.

[You killed the unjustly dead student ghost, experience +12, gold +20!

That's it?

Just this!

Instead of being nervous anymore, Yu Xiao became excited and focused on finding the location where the next monster would be brushed out, so that he could quickly launch an attack at the first opportunity, not giving it a chance to unleash its skills!

[You killed the student ghost, experience +12, gold +20!

[You have killed the student ghost, experience +12, gold +20! You have gained the Ghost Fire Charm!

[You killed the student ghost, experience +12, gold +20!

[......]

[You have killed the student ghost, experience +12, gold +20! You have gained the Wandering Soul Chest Armor!

Cool!

Killed twelve student ghosts!

Harvest 144 experience, 240 gold coins, and two pieces of loot.

[Ghost Fire Charm] (Consumable), Gray Inferior, consumes 1 point of Life Essence to summon a ghost fire to inflict flame damage on a target within a radius of 20 meters, with a certain probability of causing the target to fall into a state of fear or burning.

[Wandering Soul Chest Armor] (Game Equipment), Gray Lower Grade, +1 Damage Immunity, +3 Independent Defense, Durability 10/10.

The results of the battle are not bad!

Ghost Fire Charms are expendable.

Although the grade is not high, the power is not bad and quite valuable.

As for the Wandering Soul breastplate?

On the other hand, it's another good piece of equipment at this stage.

Yu Xiao didn't hesitate to equip it on his body, with this piece of defense in his body, his survivability and combat power had increased dramatically again.

To know.

It's much sturdier than body armor.

Enough to withstand the average handgun bullet!

This round of replica monster kills was a very good harvest, but there were also mistakes.

The student ghosts swiped one by one at first, then two by two, and finally three at the same time.

They appeared in different locations, and with a ranged attack like Ghost Cry, it was inevitable that they would lose sight of one another.

Song Jiajia was affected by the ripple effect.

Another ten points of life force lost.

It's good to be alive and not lose the challenge.

And this made Yu Xiao realize that even though his speed, strength, reflexes, and defense were far beyond normal, these alone were not enough!

There are so few means of restraining the enemy!

I'm going to learn a few skills as soon as I can!

There are several skill books of different levels right there in the mall, and they all sell for quite a bit of money, so you have to save up.

Not waiting for much thought.

Another ghostly figure appeared.

The monsters that come out of this brush are different from any of the previous ones.

This was a female ghost, and no matter the aura, or the breath, it was several times more powerful than the student ghost that he had just encountered.

Could it be a boss?

Yu Xiao was immediately on high alert!

Chapter 8: Huang Peng Full of Grudges

The female ghost, with her cloaked hair and red dress, matches the image of the red-clad ghost in the movie and TV show.

[Unjustly Dead Female Ghost], Level 3, Life 60, Skill: Ghost Claw ...... Synopsis: Innocent schoolgirls killed by evil spirits.

Level 3 monsters?

1 level higher.

No wonder it's better than a student ghost.

The female ghost launched an attack with ten scarlet ghost claws.

Yu Xiao sidestepped and dodged.

A table behind him was hit.

Instantly he was cut into pieces for him.

Seeing that one strike failed, the female ghost launched a succession of attacks, a pair of sharp claws forcing Yu Xiao to retreat.

Sure is a little hard to deal with!

The ghost's claws, which were sharper than steel knives, made Yu Xiao very jealous, and for a moment, he was in a bit of a mess, but his superhuman reaction as well as his speed made the female ghost's ferocious attack fall flat.

This ghost has no intelligence.

Just offense without defense breaks a lot.

Yu Xiao's rich combat experience had formed an instinct after she had learned Practical Combat Mastery, so she quickly adapted to the rhythm of the attack and found a chance to counterattack from it.

A flash of cold light.

The female ghost was stabbed and fell backwards, her body darkening much more, losing over a quarter of her blood bar straight away.

Not waiting for it to adjust.

Yu Xiao quickly replenished two swords, consuming more than half of his blood bar, and finally ended the battle with a decapitating blow.

[You have killed the unjustly dead female ghost, experience +30, gold +45! You have gained the fine wandering spirit combat boots!

Popped something again!

[Fine Wandering Soul Boots], Gray Medium Grade, +1 Damage Immunity, +2 Independent Defense, +1 Movement Speed, Durability 10.

It made Yu Xiao do a double take.

It's gray mid-grade equipment.

The quality is higher than any other gear on your body.

After Yu Xiao decisively equipped herself, she immediately felt lighter and her speed increased quite a bit.

Not bad not bad!

These boots also increase movement speed.

My fastest movement speed per second has now increased by at least one meter!

Fight to the present.

Yu Xiao had long since lost her sense of nervousness and awe.

Killing these ghosts and monsters, the speed of gaining gold coins and experience could be much faster than killing mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants, and one could also obtain equipment and loot, thus further enhancing one's strength.

Instead, I wish there were more monsters.

If you keep brushing at this pace, both upgrading and saving up for skill books will be easy.

However.

Just then.

The study room was overcast.

From the ceiling, a large amount of black mist gushed out, coalescing into a sinister figure that hissed in gloomy fury.

What are you!

Dare to sow your wild oats in my territory!

A strange, ugly-looking male ghost with a hideous, ghostly face appeared.

Has the real boss finally shown up?

Yu Xiao's heart tightened at the sight of him.

I don't know if this guy became like this after he became a ghost, or if he looked like this before he was born.

If the latter is the case, could it be that the embryo has been stimulated by something during its development, so that it has grown so sorry for the people of the world.

Ahem ......

You can't judge a ghost by its cover.

This guy was far superior to the female ghost just now in terms of both his aura and oppression, and he was sane and could even vocalize and communicate, so he must not be easy to deal with.

Yu Xiao hurriedly signaled Song Jiajia to hide away.

Then scanned the other profile.

[Grieving Ghost Huang Peng], Level 3 Elite, Lifespan 100/100, Skills: Ghost Claws, Grievance, Profile: Originally a humble student at Hang University, after dying suddenly in a study room, he ended up transforming into an evil ghost under the strong resentment and unwillingness.

Nice guy!

It's an elite unit.

Quite the elite monster in the game?

No wonder it's more than a notch stronger than a female ghost!

Although the female ghost just now was also level 3, the difference between a normal monster and an elite monster was huge.

You're the culprit here, aren't you!

Yu Xiao didn't have anything to be afraid of, but in order to buy time so that Song Jiajia could hide a little further away, she took the initiative to open her mouth to question: We're all classmates and have no grievances, why are you killing innocent people here?

You know shit! Huang Peng growled.

No matter how hard I try, you all look down on me. No matter how much I give my heart, I can't get a response from my beloved.

The world is so unfair!

Why should someone be born with everything, why should someone be able to easily get what I couldn't get with all my might and all my life, you tell me why that is!

I'm going to get everything my way!

What I can't get!

And you won't have any!

Huang Peng is two years earlier than Yu Xiao's students, born in a poor and remote mountain village, I also look short and ugly.

But he's very well read.

First in the school since I was a kid.

He has been a role model in the eyes of students and faculty since he was a child.

This added honor made him both extremely inferior and pretentious, with a very paranoid personality.

After entering college, because of vanity, the first time to go after the most beautiful goddess in the college, the final result can be imagined.

Consciousness of self-esteem after being humiliated.

Decided to get angry and get ahead.

He wanted to make today's goddess who was indifferent to his own love never again climb up, and to trample all the people who mocked him under his feet and repay him tenfold.

Facts.

He did try very hard.

Managed to kill himself suddenly in the study room!

Under the effect of some kind of opportunity, Huang Peng, filled with the undissolved resentment and unwillingness, let him turn into an evil ghost, hard to add his own success, the black humor story continued into a horror story.

Dare to kill my men.

Take your flesh and blood!

Huang Peng released a large amount of black qi that invaded the side at an astonishing speed.

[You've been eroded by the aura of a grumbling ghost, Life Essence -1!

[You've been eroded by the aura of a grumbling ghost, Life Essence -1!

Yu Xiao felt the gloomy coldness invade his body, a feeling of his limbs being frozen, and his life continued to drain away.

What an awesome skill!

And it's a ranged attack.

You can still carry it yourself.

But if it affected Song Jiajia, with her ordinary human physique, I'm afraid it wouldn't last more than a few seconds.

Ghosts can fly.

It's not a good idea to do it in mid-air.

Gotta motivate this guy to come forward.

Yu Xiao then provoked, You have no self-knowledge as a human being, I didn't expect to have none as a ghost, this life of mine is right here, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to come and get it!

Seek death!

Huang Peng was really furious.

Swooping down from the ceiling.

A pair of black ghostly claws attacked with astonishing speed.

Huang Peng's Ghost Claw's attack speed was even faster than the female ghost's, so he could Yu Xiao's speed should still be able to dodge it.

However a move.

It was only then that Yu Xiao realized that her reflexes and speed had become sluggish.

Only barely dodging one attack, the second one landed on top of his chest.

-10!

Switching ordinary people.

This blow will surely kill you.

Yu Xiao was now wearing three pieces of defense, which were immune to a total of 3 points of damage, with the chest armor's independent defense being the highest, which could offset about another 3 points of damage.

Even so it was enough to suffer a whopping 10 points of life loss, knowing that Yu Xiao's physical strength was far more than that of a normal person, from this it could be seen how high the strength of the attack was!

Luckily, the ghost claws were blocked by the invisible chest armor.

Although it caused a lot of damage to the defense, it didn't tear this defense, and the cold energy entered the body through the defense causing a loss of life essence, but it didn't directly cause a huge wound.

So strong!

Kind of underestimated the game copy!

I didn't expect a level 3 elite to be this powerful.

Yu Xiao didn't dare to be careless.

Decidedly used the clearing charm.

A refreshing aura enveloped his entire body, his life recovered at a rate of 2 points per second, the feeling of frozen limbs was dispelled, and even his speed gained a boost.

Quick counterattack.

A sword slashed Huang Peng.

18 points of damage were inflicted!

Huang Peng was enraged and his attack became even more intense.

Yu Xiao Qingfeng talisman was added to counteract the erosion of the resentment, and after nimbly avoiding several attacks, he stabbed Huang Peng again, once again inflicting a considerable amount of damage.

The boss had lost a small half of its blood bar.

It gave him a boost of confidence!

This guy is a bit crunchy, he is at least level 4, with the Clear Wind Charm recovery and speed boost, he can totally keep up with him.

Steady can win!

After a few more rounds.

Huang Peng lost two thirds of his life.

The offense has noticeably weakened and seems to have entered a weakened state.

Damn it, why did I have to physically fight this guy like a mangina?

This guy's yang qi is unusually strong, and he has a special weapon in his hand, so every attack can cause great damage ......

But he was only a mortal after all, and he didn't have wings!

Huang Peng was enlightened!

Decisively pulling away and height, he floated above the ceiling and laughed from the height of the caracal

I'd like to see that.

How are you going to fight me next!

Hahaha, I may be a ghost, but I'm not stupid!

Chapter IX. A Full Harvest

Huang Peng couldn't help but praise his own resourcefulness.

Almost fell for this kid!

Luckily, this ghost reacted quickly.

This guy, with his copper skin, iron bones and yang fire, is indeed no ordinary person.

Yu Xiao did not have the ability to fly, and once the Clear Wind Talisman failed, her situation would be very passive, and the grievances would erode the life essence in two minutes at most.

In the end ...... the sperm is exhausted!

Senpai is quite the little wit, but it's too soon to be complacent!

Yu Xiao didn't panic, Meng Chong leaped up and swung his sword.

Huang Peng was prepared, drifted back, easily avoided, full of banter, was about to taunt two sentences, but saw the other side of the left hand threw out a black talisman paper.

Swinging a sword is just a sheep attack!

That's the real kill!

The Ghost Fire Talisman ignited itself into a ball of green fire and attacked!

Huang Peng did not even think that Yu Xiao had this kind of tactic, and it was too late to dodge.

-23!

Huang Peng was hit by the Ghost Fire Charm.

His spiritual body burned rapidly.

Ahhhhhh!

Damn it!

Huang Peng's remaining life value was also consumed in the continuous burning, and he could only fly around in shock and anger, on the one hand, in order to extinguish the fire on his body as soon as possible, and on the other hand, in order to avoid the pursuit.

Yu Xiao saw the right moment to throw his short sword, accurately inserting it into Huang Peng's body, causing not much damage, but it was enough to completely clear the blood slot.

In a mournful and resigned howl of misery.

Huang Peng completely vaporized into black gas.

You have killed the Grieving Ghost Huang Peng, experience +200, gold +300, and you have obtained the Excellent Spirit War Crossbow!

Done!

Yu Xiao sighed in relief.

Elite monsters are incredibly strong.

There was an element of luck in being able to win this time, if he didn't have these pieces of equipment on his body, if he didn't have the Clear Wind Talisman and the Ghost Fire Talisman in his hand, the outcome of the battle would have been much more vicious.

Whatever.

It took some paying, though.

But the results were satisfactory.

Congratulations to the player who has passed the Evil Ghost Study Room!

[Copy evaluation: Excellent!

【Reward: Experience Value x500, Gold Coin x800, Ring of Grievous Ghosts x1!

[You will automatically exit the copy after 180 seconds.]

Successful clearance!

That's quite a reward for a copy!

This trip down the brush accumulated 874 experience points, accumulated 1,485 gold coins, plus a full 5 pieces of new equipment, covering the cost of the copy of the challenge rolls and the clearing of the wind talisman, it can still be described as a bloody profit.

Swiping copies is really a great way to get rich!

Of course.

First time on a copy.

Inevitably, there are many shortcomings.

For example, the pass ratings for copies are, from low to high: average, good, excellent, and perfect.

The excellent reviews are not bad, but as a perfectionist, Yu Xiao is clearly less than satisfied with this.

Evaluation of study room copies.

There is a direct correlation to the damage done to Song Jiajia.

The Student Ghost's Ghost Crying skill and the Grieving Ghost Wang Peng's Grievance skill all had ranged attack effects, which could easily cause Song Jiajia to take damage, thus affecting the evaluation of the copy.

Great!

I can feel it.

The ghosts in this place seem to have been all but wiped out!

Song Jiajia came to the side, her face slightly pale, but her spirit was very uplifting and joyful.

Are we safe already? I feel like I've been stuck here for a long time, mom and dad and my sister and the others must be worried sick.

Suddenly I want to go home!

Just realized that peace and quiet is all that matters!

I want to eat my mom's braised pork ribs, I want to eat ice cream and milk tea, and I'm going to live a good life from now on!

Song Jiajia said with gratitude and admiration, Classmate you saved my life, I really don't know how to repay you, is it convenient to reveal your name and class?

Yu Xiao just wanted to reply.

The countdown is over.

He only felt a blackness before his eyes, and when he reacted, his surroundings had changed.

No more dank, dilapidated, evil ghost study rooms.

It's back to where it was before entering the copy.

The library is brightly lit, and the square in front, the artificial lake next to it, and the basketball court in the distance are all hot and bustling with the vigor and energy that a campus should have.

Ten minutes later.

Yu Xiao frowned as she looked at her phone and found information about Song Jiajia through the keyword search function.

This person is not a copy of a fictional npc.

She was real.

Although a great deal of information on top of the internet was deleted, from the school's internal forums, things were found about her.

She's dead.

The library was haunted two years ago.

Song Jiajia was one of those killed at the time.

Unsurprisingly!

Yu Xiao put away her cell phone.

A copy of the Evil Ghost Study Room.

The prototype is a bizarre incident that actually happened two years ago.

Game-generated replicas are not necessarily 100% restored, but they are certainly adapted from real events.

So it seems.

Challenge these copies of the process.

Then you can get in touch with someone or something from the past.

Yu Xiao vaguely realized.

This is probably one of the most important features of a copy of the game!

Many significant events, important secrets, and critical information have been preserved in the form of copies.

By challenging these copies, players can easily participate and trace back the great events that happened in the past, thus peeping into the unknown secrets and truths.

After calming down.

Yu Xiao opened her backpack.

Inside were two pieces of equipment, one of which was the Excellent Spirit War Crossbow dropped by the boss Huang Peng, and the other was the Ring of the Ghosts of the Undying rewarded by the settlement of the copy!

Upon seeing the attributes of these two pieces of equipment.

He showed a look of ecstasy.

【Ring of the Grievous Ghost】(Game Equipment), Gray Upper Grade, Spirit +1, consume 5 points of Life Essence to summon 1 Grievous Ghost of the same level to assist in battle, Grievous Ghosts up to level 10, exists for a maximum of 30 minutes, Durability 10/10.

【Excellent Traveling Soul War Crossbow】(Game Gear), Gray Upper Grade, +2 Attack, +5 Damage to Yin Spirits, Durability 15/15.

These two pieces of equipment.

All gray tops!

This was a real surprise.

Yu Xiao immediately took out these two pieces of equipment.

Among them, the Ring of the Ghosts of the Dead directly increased the spiritual attribute by 1 point, knowing that the spiritual attribute, like the blood and qi attributes, belonged to the most basic and core attributes.

The normal human limit value is only 10 points.

Even if it's only a 1 point increase.

It is also not to be underestimated.

The greatest value of this ring is not here, it is not only a piece of equipment that can increase the core attributes, but also comes with a Ghost Summoning skill.

When equipped with this ring, consume 5 points of essence to summon a level 5 ghost.

For Yu Xiao at this stage.

This ability is undoubtedly very useful.

Whether it's for combat, testing, or scouting, it works!

Another piece of equipment, the Excellent Spirit War Crossbow is also a powerful piece of equipment, not only is it a long-distance attack weapon, but it can also inflict very high damage on the spirit-type monsters.

Something to keep in mind.

The Traveling Soul War Crossbow is not required to be paired with Arrow Loss.

This war crossbow could directly draw on the essence of the person who equipped it, thus condensing the arrow loss and launching a direct attack on the target.

Yu Xiao tested it.

Every three to four arrows consumes approximately 1 point of Essence.

While launching an attack that also loses its own blood bar sounds a bit dodgy, it's actually a pretty normal thing to do.

This game hp points are different from the traditional game concept.

It represents the source and vitality of all life.

This includes physical strength and energy.

And even mana.

Whether it's casting spells or fighting, whether it's being injured or sick, even if it's just plain running or staying up all night, as long as it's a consumptive behavior, it's all going to result in the loss of life essence, just the speed of the loss varies.

Rest restores essence.

And once the life essence is depleted.

It will result in the evil of exhaustion.

So whatever you do, do it in moderation!

Still 300 experience short.

It's 100% possible to upgrade by swiping another copy.

However, the number of copies has already been used up, and this game only has one copy opportunity per day on a daily basis, so you can only wait until tomorrow when the number of copies is refreshed.

The cell phone rang.

It's a microphone.

Yu Xiao scratched the screen.

It's the fat guy from the dormitory calling.

Yu Xiao is the third in line in dormitory 507.

There were three others in the dormitory.

Old Shi Wenwei, the standard Northeast man, more than one meter nine big, big and thick, full of flesh, look fierce, but actually simple, righteous people.

The second one is called Pang Pang Ren, a big fat man of 250 pounds, and his family is a businessman and well-off.

The fourth Hou Hao, nicknamed Rat or Monkey, as his name suggests, is thin and small in appearance, smooth, shrewd and accident-prone, with strong intelligence-gathering ability, and is a famous gossip savant.

There is less than half a month left in the junior semester.

As an upcoming senior, there are basically no classes at this stage, and if you're not busy with internships, or sprinting for graduate school, you'll have a lot of time on your hands.

Yu Xiao has moved out of his dorm room and rented an old apartment near the school for the convenience of his part-time job.

Pick up the phone.

A voice was heard shouting.

What's going on, Lao-san, and the phone doesn't work?

Yu Xiao was inside the copy, and it would be a hell of a thing for his cell phone to get through, he didn't answer the question, and directly asked a rhetorical question.

What is it?

Lao Si got an internship offer from Cat Factory, treating us to a late night snack, are you coming or not!

Come on, why don't you come and send me the location!

507 dormitory four people, only Hou Hao is studying computer science, his programming skills are very butch, during the university wrote a few game plug-ins, sold a lot of money, the days are very nourishing.

With his skills it wasn't surprising to receive an internship offer from a big tier one like Cat Factory, and this was something Yu Xiao had just seen inside the event broadcast.

There's a meal to rub in.

Why don't you go.

Yu Xiao decisively rushed to the late-night snack location, not a luxury restaurant, but a small barbecue store in the neighborhood.

However.

Just walked into the booth.

Yu Xiao was then pressed into the seat by a fat-headed guy with fat hands from behind.

I don't need to see it to know that it's Fatty Huge Ren.

With the current physical quality and reaction, want to break free to resist and hold this fat bastard is easy as a hand, but he would like to see, a few teasing roommates, and what is pumping the wind.

In the meantime.

Skinny Hou Hou turned off the lights.

A cell phone with a flashlight on shines in his face.

Yu Xiao saw that there was a bullish and tall figure that was sitting across the table with a big horse, rather like the feeling of interrogating a prisoner in a TV series.

Pang Ren pressed Yu Xiao and cried out, Report to the bedchamber elder, there is a traitor among us!

Shi Wenwei sneered, Good!

Yu Xiao: Middle out your sister!

Tie!

Traitor!

How dare you talk back!

Remember our 507 vows?

Yu Xiao puzzled, What oath?

Shi Wenwei said, Monkey, tell him!

Yes, dormitory master! Hou Hao performed an unorthodox military salute, then loudly recited, Four good men with one heart, the status of a basher weighs as much as a mountain, a lifetime of love for only five girls, whoever gets off first will die first.

Shi Wenwei slammed the table and said angrily, Do you confess or not!

Yu Xiao said, Injustice ah, I have never changed the composition of this maternal single dog, how did I become a traitor to the organization?

There's no use in your sophistry!

Fatty Pang Ren smiled wickedly and took out his cell phone to flash a picture.

The photos of you sending our newest school beauty Jiang Xiaowen back to her dorm room have all been exposed, hard evidence and irrefutable!

No wonder you didn't answer the phone when I called you just now, so you were busy kissing your elementary school sister.

It's an abomination!

I can't believe you're doing this without us knowing!

To be envied ...... ah shucks, to be reviled!

It dawned on Yu Xiao.

Gossip so soon?

He knew with his toes that it was Hou Hao, the gossip master, who had gotten the information from somewhere.

Hou Hou: You have nothing to say now.

Shi Wenwei: 2nd Battalion Commander and 4th Battalion Commander, send him on his way with your earthly cannons!

Yes!

Shi Wenwei said with a sullen face, Brother, have a good trip, we'll be faggy in our next life!

Yu Xiao hurriedly said: Cannon and slow to pull out, I and Jiang Xiaowen innocence, completely withstand the organization investigation!

Yes?

The three revealed a look of suspicion.

Yu Xiao gave a rough account of what happened.

So that's how it is, it seems that the organization has wronged you, we really are still good brothers!

Shi Wenwei nodded his head and said, Second Battalion Commander and Fourth Battalion Commander, collect your earthly cannons first!

After turning the lights back on.

The expressions of these three guys suddenly became fawning, changing their faces simply faster than flipping a book.

Yu Xiao was immediately alert: I smell a conspiracy!

Pang Ren's hand that controlled his shoulder, turned on the mode of massage, and said with a flattering face, Lao San, don't say that, jokes are jokes, such a good opportunity, isn't it not to be wasted?

Hou Hao also rushed up to pinch the legs: Yes, Jiang Xiaowen, despite only being a freshman, can already have a new generation of school flower potential, the average person wants her contact information but also can not.

Yu Xiao glanced at them and said, What? You guys want to try?

Hey, what a thing to say, how could we do such a pickled thing as robbing a brother's woman!

Shi Wenwei was a picture of righteousness, If you, Lao San, take down the newest school beauty girl, you will be considered to have won glory for us 507.

What are these guys up to?

Yu Xiao lost the lake.

Pang Ren continued, Everyone says that the quality of the new class of schoolgirls is notoriously high, wouldn't it be great if you took Jiang Xiaowen down and started a sorority for us, with the first off leading to the second off?

Hou Hao said, For the sake of the organization, you should do this, the brothers' lifelong affairs depend on you!

Figure out the dagger!

Damn livestock.

It's clear that you want to get off the hook.

However, they were very self-aware, knowing that a girl like Jiang Xiaowen was too difficult for them to attack, and only Lao San, the face bearer of the entire dormitory, had a chance.

Lao San in Hangzhou University high and low is a quasi school grass standard, although the family conditions ordinary point, but the university campus after all is not yet society, most of the girls still look at the face.

If the two of them can get it together.

Wouldn't it be a good idea for both parties to bring their friends out to meet each other at future festivals, or birthday parties?

After recognizing their pickled stolen minds salivating over elementary school girls.

Yu Xiao directly sprayed, Get lost!

Chapter XI Special Section

After flirting with each other for a while.

That's the way it's going to be.

Yu Xiao didn't feel at ease.

For one, he wasn't even close to Jiang Xiaowen.

Secondly, how is picking up girls and falling in love more important than playing games?

There are too many secrets on Yu Xiao, and people who are too close to the relationship will inevitably find abnormalities his abnormalities, and it is not suitable to talk about love at this stage.

Indecent development.

That's the way to go!

Monkey congratulations!

Got the offer as expected!

Yu Xiao toasted a beer to the host of today's treat.

Pang Ren: Envy ah! This doggone monkey will be a big factory employee in the future, and it's not a dream to earn millions of dollars a year in the future, while the three of us don't know when we'll be able to go ashore.

Hou Hao said angrily, The dead fat man owes a beating, the boss and the oldest three even if, you a dog big house called a hair!

The second one is well off, has a family business of a decent size, and this guy could totally go back and take over the family business later on and just lay down and win right over the finish line.

Shi Wenwei asked, Where are you going to go, Lao San?

Yu Xiao shook her head and said, There is no target yet.

He doesn't put much stock in internships or grad school anymore, but gamer status is the biggest secret, and his closest family and friends are not allowed to reveal it.

Shi Wenwei: Have you seen the latest group announcement? I think this is an opportunity for the to give it a try!

What announcement?

Yu Xiao opened her cell phone.

Found the announcement that the counselor sent out.

[@All members!

[Received notice from higher authorities!

Special Section will hold a lecture at our school from tomorrow!

[There will be a Special Branch professional on hand to give a keynote lecture.]

[Please, if you need to participate, prepare the relevant information and meet at the stadium at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.]

[......]

Special Section? No way!

Fall recruiting season begins in June, a time when many institutions and large corporations come to campus to hold recruiting events, something that in itself is nothing surprising.

What surprised Yu Xiao was this special section.

More than a decade ago.

After the blood moon incident.

The global shenanigans just don't stop.

In order to cope with this kind of threat, which is similar to a natural disaster, all countries have made a lot of efforts, both explicitly and implicitly, and naturally, it is inevitable that they will mobilize their elites, gather experts and specialists, and set up a rapid reaction force.

The legend of the Special Section is rampant.

It is said that this is set up by the Xia Security Bureau (Xia Guo Security Bureau), a department specializing in dealing with bizarre events, the number of members is not large, but absolutely no one is very mysterious, leaving behind a lot of urban legends.

Always.

The mainstream media is tight-lipped.

There is no official acknowledgement or denial.

Nowadays Dada is organizing presentations in schools.

Doesn't it directly confirm the authenticity of this mysterious department?

Similar to a campus job fair or a double-selection fair, a lecture is an event where lectures are held on campus for promotional and recruiting purposes.

Is there an open call for the Special Section?

Hangzhou University is at least a nationally renowned university with a very deep background and heritage, and it is impossible to joke about such things!

This is an official announcement, isn't it?

It's definitely been made official!

This is an important department of the country anyhow, do you think if we can get in, is it considered an iron rice bowl? Shi Wenwei was very moved: I just don't know how the treatment will be!

Hou Hou has taken an offer.

Not interested in being a civil servant.

And the fat man was also lacking in interest; if the legend was true, the Special Section was too dangerous as a front line against the bizarre.

Even if the treatment is high and the welfare is good, then you have to have a life to spend, right? Pang Dang Ren's family is not bad, and is a single generation, even if he wants to go, his parents will not agree.

But both showed an interest in the Special Section, so they planned to get together and go to the lecture.

As for Yu Xiao.

If only it were a day earlier.

He's sure to be very interested like Shi Wenwei.

But this is the time, as the only player in the world, he no longer has to worry about making money Lakeport.

Although he does not resist contributing to the country and society, he does not want to expose the secret of being a player, and this kind of department tends to be extremely disciplined and tied up ...... How else can he go down to the copy and do the quest?

Forget it!

Iron rice bowl or not.

So much for pretty girls.

Don't even think about tempting me!

I just want to play the game in peace now ah!

Heck, I'm not interested in any of the preaching sessions, whoever goes is a fool!

Just then a message appeared in his mind.

[Ding!

[Trigger mission!

[Mission Name: Participate in Presentations]: Participate in presentations organized by the Security Bureau in order to gather more useful knowledge and intelligence.

Huh?

There is a mission!

There is no harm in just going to a lecture to broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge.

How can an iron rice bowl be so easy to hold?

Every year, the army of public examinations is vast, so how many people cut their heads to get into it.

As a secret force of the Cheyenne Bureau, the assessment process and the scrutiny of the background must be even more stringent, and it couldn't possibly be a place where one could enter just because they wanted to.

Let's go!

Together!

Then it's a deal!

Whoever doesn't go tomorrow is a dog!

Hahaha, let's go one, let's drink first tonight!

............

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Yu Xiao bought four buns of soybean milk downstairs in the rental house, walked to the dormitory, tapped the door, and only after a long time, Shi Wenwei, who was all drunk and had bloodshot eyes, opened the door.

Holy shit, how come you kid isn't hurt at all, is it hard to believe you drank all that water last night?

I had too much fun drinking and jerking off last night.

So much so that today was a straight up tragedy.

Fatty and Monkey both had gotten right down.

Even Shi Wenwei, who could be described as a sea of people, barely managed to get up by sheer force of will.

Damn it!

The oldest three guys.

Drink nothing less than yourself.

Why fresh from head to toe like nothing.

This guy used to drink about the same amount of alcohol as the old four, obviously in the 507 and even the entire men's dormitory is the bottom of the level ah, Laozi a person can drink at least five old three ah!

I brought breakfast, want some?

Yu Xiao held up something in her hand, Huh, didn't you say you were going to a lecture? How come you're the only one up.

Shi Wenwei snatched a bun, Those two doggies have completely laid down their bodies, leave them alone, let's go.

The two arrived at the venue.

This place looks like it's buzzing.

Hundreds of students gathered here early in the morning.

Yu Xiao found not only juniors and seniors, some freshmen and sophomores also came to join in the fun, presumably attracted by the name of the special section, and the school side did not stop.

Time's up.

Under Staff Arrangements.

There was a group of people totaling six walking up to the stage.

Among the six men, there were four black-clad men, averaging one meter eight in height, wearing sunglasses and earpieces, each with a straight back, looking similar to the agents on TV.

After these four people got on the stage, they immediately spread out in all directions and took up a guarded stance, and they seemed to be wearing weapons on their waists.

You don't look like an ordinary person.

It's military or even special forces or something, right?

Holding curiosity, I clicked on the name and read the blurb.

【Zhao Steel】, Rank 3, Life 50/52, Blood Qi 16, Spirit 8 ...... Introduction: an agent of the Xia Security Bureau, a supernumerary member of the Special Section, who has practiced the Body Refining Technique, so his blood qi is far more vigorous than that of the average person.

[Wang Erlong], Rank 3, Life 45/48, Blood Qi 15, Spirit 7 ...... Introduction: an agent of the Xia Security Bureau, a supernumerary member of the Special Section, and a supernumerary member of the Special Section of the National Security Bureau, who practiced the Body Refining Technique, and so his blood qi is far more vigorous than that of the average person.

[......]

Yu Xiao's expression changed slightly when she saw this

Even if a normal person exercised his physical body to the limit, his blood qi value would only be 10 points at most, and no matter if he was a world boxing champion or a weightlifting champion, it was impossible for him to break through this extreme value.

But these four men in black.

Blood gas values are generally around 15 points.

greatly exceeded the limits of mortal physicality.

Sure enough.

After the blood moon.

Humans have mastered the means to push the limits of their physiology.

Countries are even starting to systematize the selection and training of Transcendents.

Looking at the temperament of these four people, the probability was that they were the elites selected from the military by a hundred or a thousand miles, and then using special methods, they were trained to become agents of the Cheyenne Bureau.

However.

Even so.

In the Special Section it is also only supernumerary.

The other two, one was a short and thin old man wearing a white coat and glasses, and the other was a strong man who was more than two meters tall and looked like a small mountain.

Look at the elderly first.

[Zhou Pingan], Rank 1, Life 10/8, Blood and Qi 3, Spirit 10...... Synopsis: Once a senior professor at Yanjing University, he is now a special scientist of the Hsia An Bureau, engaged in the research of the trickster world.

An old scientist?

Too bad there's only 8 life points left.

That means no surprises, only 8 years of life left at most.

His essence value is higher than the maximum value of his vitality ...... This situation usually occurs in the old, but still in good health.

Look again at the burly man.

The oldest, Shi Wenwei, is just as strong.

But compared to the one in front of me, it's still a big deal.

The guy was visually two meters tall, with angular muscle tone that could have been in a bodybuilding competition.

Most impressive.

The strong man has a face full of flesh to choose people to devour the beast faction face, can be said that the body does not carry ten or eight lives, are sorry parents gave him such a vicious face.

But he was wearing a tailored, straight suit and even a svelte tie.

Hot day.

Dressed like this.

Not hot?

Yu Xiao clicked on the name tag.

Large sections of information appeared.

[Tseng Iron Tree] (Pan Feng), Level 14, Life ???? Blood? , Spirit? ...... Introduction: codename Pan Feng, member of the Special Section of the Hsien Security Bureau, one of the six resident guardians of Hangzhou, this one can dominate the power of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit.

Yu Xiao: (⊙﹏⊙)!

Chapter XII. The Theory of the Tricky World

Level 14?

It's actually up to level 14!

Is this guy that good?

He's an Envoy ...... What is an Envoy again?

Those four supernumerary team members were already fierce men who were capable of carrying a king to ordinary people, but compared to this official member of the Special Section, they were simply not in the same level of existence.

The current Yu Xiao was by no means an opponent either.

Why is this guy so strong? Is this the strength and heritage of the country?

It is no wonder that over the past decade or so, various horrific and bizarre incidents have been occurring, yet the social order has still managed to remain stable!

At that moment, a pair of stern and incomparable gazes swept menacingly towards his location.

Yu Xiao hurriedly moved her eyes away.

This guy's spiritual attribute was very high, so he possessed a perception that far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, and even if he glanced at him in a crowd, it was easy for him to sense it.

It's not human.

It's an absolute beast in human form.

The Special Section member codenamed Pan Feng scanned the room twice, frowning slightly, slightly confused.

He had just developed a faint sense of threat.

It appears that an extraordinary being is watching himself.

Although the overall feeling was not enough to worry about, if it could make a character like him feel even the slightest bit threatened, then the other party would never be an ordinary person.

Pan Feng ordered in a low voice, Don't be careless, be careful and on guard, don't allow any suspicious people to approach the professor.

The four agents immediately responded, Yes!

This time.

The preaching has begun.

The school representative came out and said a few opening remarks before cutting straight to the chase, This time we have the honor of inviting Professor Zhou from the Special Section to answer the students' questions, here is the professor's speech.

The crowd applauded.

Zhou Pingan took the microphone with a smile.

Hello class.

I'm Pingan Zhou.

Currently a Distinguished Scholar at Cheyenne.

Before the talk begins, a question for you ......

What exactly is death in your minds, or what constitutes death.

Hear that.

The crowd looked at each other in disbelief.

Yu Xiao was also puzzled.

Why did the
