Returning to the guild's headquarters once again, Zhao Yi felt a wave of emotion.
It seemed like a long time had passed.
Accompanying him were several other players from the guild's headquarters, and among them was Bai Shuiji.
She was trembling with excitement, tears streaming down her cheeks.
The other guild members weren't much better off.
Clearly, they had encountered a crisis in the secret realm that made them feel utterly hopeless!
But finally, they had returned here!
[Congratulations to players Zhao Yi, Qin Yue, Bai Shuiji... and others for completing the secret realm trial, earning 60,000 points + a Fate Chest (Green).]
This message was broadcast throughout the entire guild.
The surviving members were ecstatic!
Not only had they gained a lot of experience and some items from the secret realm, but more importantly, they had instantly acquired 60,000 points and a green Fate Chest!
After returning those points to the guild, they still had 10,000 left!
You should know, that green Fate Chest has a chance to yield blue or even purple items!
This was like turning a bicycle into a motorcycle!
In an instant, they became the winners of life!
Back in his room, Zhao Yi began to sort through his gains:
First, the points.
His points had already reached 76,700, enough to buy many pages of Lunyu.
However, what puzzled Zhao Yi was that even though Lunyu was currently a white skill, after equipping it, Zhao Yi felt no effect from Lunyu at all.
He asked the system, and the system replied:
[The pages of Lunyu are a white skill; they are merely the precursor to Lunyu and offer little benefit for cultivation. Players need to collect all the pages to synthesize the red skill Lunyu.]
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Zhao Yi pondered this.
So he went ahead and bought 14 pages of Lunyu in one go.
His wallet was instantly emptied.
Leaving him with 6,700 points.
Exhaling, Zhao Yi turned his attention to the world quest.
...
[World Quest: Airport Construction]
[Recommended Level: Level 6 and above]
[Recommended Number of Players: Any]
[Quest Reward: Unlocks the new map 'Evil Mountain' and awards points based on contribution]
[Description: You have finally established yourself in Hanging Valley Town through your own efforts and secured a stable job. However, through conversations with your evil spirit colleagues, you learn that Hanging Valley Town has no road leading to the outside world, only an unfinished airport and a plane that hasn't taken off in years... If you want to continue exploring the outside world and find other companions, the plane is your only hope. Ultimately, you have no choice but to help build the airport in Hanging Valley Town, only to encounter various dangerous troubles...]
...
"Building an airport, huh..."
"Sounds like quite a big project."
"There should be an existing construction team... players are probably just helping to find some special materials or supplies."
Thoughts flashed through Zhao Yi's mind.
He could go check out what the airport was all about and then decide whether to take on this main quest based on the situation.
Zhao Yi dared to tackle these quests because, although his level wasn't high, his strength far exceeded that of players at the same level.
Currently, Zhao Yi was only level 6, but his strength had already reached 83 points!
With the 'Ghostbane' title, soul weapon, and other items, Zhao Yi had a natural advantage when facing specters.
Taking out his identity card, Zhao Yi boarded the D19 train to Hanging Valley Town and first went to work at Fruit Hospital for a day.
NPCs didn't have high attendance requirements for player jobs.
For example, at Fruit Hospital, Zhao Yi could go to work three days a month and still be considered to have clocked in successfully.
Of course, this successful clock-in only meant that Zhao Yi could keep his job certification.
Working only three days a month, Zhao Yi couldn't expect to earn any money.
Ghost coins were a very important currency in the Chaotic Realm, equally important for players, but Zhao Yi wasn't worried because he owned 20% of the shares in the Clown Game Room.
These 20% shares provided Zhao Yi with an income far exceeding his salary every month!
When it was time to get off work, Zhao Yi locked his office, whistling as he left the hospital and took the 433 bus to the airport.
The scenery slowly receded along the window.
Although this world had no sun, it didn't stop Zhao Yi from appreciating its beauty.
Especially since the window reflected the image of the 36D busty female ghost standing behind him, facing the same direction.
She knew he was looking at her.
He also knew she knew he was looking at her.
But he kept looking.
Not looking was impossible.
When he got off at the airport, the 36D female ghost handed Zhao Yi a small note and threw him a seductive glance.
Wow, those fiery red lips, those curves!
Her beauty was truly top-notch.
Unfortunately... Zhao Yi had very limited interest in the opposite sex.
After getting off the bus, he tossed the note with the female ghost's phone number into the trash.
Ahead lay the airport.
Zhao Yi took one look and exclaimed, wow!
If it weren't for the bus stop sign clearly stating 'Hanging Valley Airport,' even someone as imaginative as Zhao Yi would never guess that the vast expanse of unfinished wasteland before him was an airport.
And the most serious problem was... there was no plane in sight.
Those bastards, did they dismantle the plane?
About a hundred construction ghosts in work clothes were sitting by the scaffolding in the wasteland, drinking beer and chatting.
After Zhao Yi approached and asked them about the airport, he learned that the project manager responsible for the airport construction had run away.
The steel they needed was supplied by a steel processing plant twenty miles outside Hanging Valley Town, but for some reason, the plant suddenly stopped supplying steel a while back. Some of their coworkers went to inquire but never returned...
"That place... is a cursed factory..."
An older construction ghost muttered mysteriously.
"A terrifying unknown force has appeared inside. Those infected will rust like machines all over their bodies, eventually becoming part of 'it'..."
