The World Has Entered an Era of Terror At This Moment

Chapter 10: Surprise! Moving into a Villa!

“Huh? It’s gone!” after the ghost shadow was destroyed by Tongtong, a soft exclamation came from the red paper man outside the villa.

“Did he deal with it?” The gaunt man widened his eyes.

“He just awakened his ghost spirit, and he can already handle a dangerous-grade evil spirit? And so quickly! Although we weakened this evil spirit, it still shouldn’t be something a newly awakened ghost spirit could deal with…”

The gaunt man rattled off a series of words, clearly in disbelief.

“Let’s go in and check,” the red paper man said.

With that, it began walking towards the villa, leading the way.

The gaunt man hurriedly followed inside.

Inside the villa, Tongtong had already returned to the bow, while Lin Feng had gone upstairs to check if there were any other ghosts.

In the living room, the red paper man and the gaunt man had already entered.

A faint red glow emitted from the paper eyes of the red paper man.

The gaunt man took out an instrument and began checking.

“No need to measure. It’s already been dealt with,” the red paper man said.

The gaunt man took a deep breath, “Sir, could this Lin Feng… be a psychic medium?”

The red paper man shook its head, “No, psychic mediums are taken away at birth. The Liucheng Base City doesn’t have the qualifications to train one.”

The gaunt man looked puzzled, “Then why…”

The red paper man explained, “His ghost spirit is very special, possessing two forms. The combat power of the second form can surge, which I think might be the reason.”

The gaunt man showed a trace of envy. “Not a psychic medium, yet he has such a ghost spirit. This kid is incredibly lucky.”

The red paper man glanced at him and said, “Gaining the recognition of a ghost spirit isn’t just about luck. He must have something special. However, everyone has their own secrets. Don’t try to pry. Perhaps it won’t be long before you witness the rise of a genius.”

As they spoke, Lin Feng was already coming down the stairs.

“Congratulations, you’ve passed,” the gaunt man said.

Compared to before, his tone had become much more gentle.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel a bit pleased.

Acquiring this villa also solved his housing problem.

Space in the base city was limited.

In the inner city, an average person only had a few square meters to live in, making it quite crowded.

Although the outer city was filled with ghosts, it was still relatively safe. To own a detached villa in such a valuable space in the base city… this kind of treatment surpassed 99% of people.

“Little brother, this is for you.” The red paper man suddenly took out a piece of red jade and handed it to Lin Feng.

“You are indeed outstanding. I have a few words for you. Ghosts are indeed terrifying, but what is always more terrifying than ghosts is humans. Any fighting within the base city is strictly prohibited, and battles between ghost controllers are also forbidden. But once you leave the base city, aside from your ghost spirit, anything can be your enemy. Remember, anything!” the red paper man said solemnly.

Lin Feng accepted the piece of red jade and said, “Thank you!”

“Alright, I’ve discovered a good seedling in Liucheng this time around. I hope you can grow. I still have matters to attend to, so I must leave. Take care.” The red paper man’s final words… were not in the hoarse voice of an old woman, but rather a very pleasant female voice.

It seemed the ghost controller behind the red paper man was a young woman!

After finishing, flames rose from the red paper man’s body, and in a short time, it was reduced to ashes and completely disappeared into the air.

After the red paper man left in this manner, the gaunt man took out a key and handed it to Lin Feng, saying, “Here’s the key. This villa is now yours. The things inside haven’t been used by anyone, but you might need to hire someone to clean it. You have 100 contribution points in your ID card. In the outer city, contribution points are everything. Hiring someone to clean the house only costs 1 contribution point, but you’ll need to convert it to 100 yuan first!”

Lin Feng nodded.

He was familiar with the base city’s currency system.

Ordinary people used a unified currency.

But for ghost controllers, contribution points were the most important. 1 contribution point could be exchanged for 100 yuan.

Contribution points were mainly earned by carrying out base city tasks outside the city, such as protecting small farming towns or killing fierce ghosts and exchanging valuable items from them. Turning in ghost spirit items to the base city could also earn contribution points.

After accepting the key, Lin Feng saw the gaunt man off.

Inside the villa, Lin Feng was now alone.

Lin Feng looked around and found that the villa was well-furnished, though there were no bedsheets.

He took out his ID card and posted a task for cleaning the villa. As soon as he posted it, someone accepted the task.

“That’s quite convenient,” Lin Feng thought.

Although the technology in this world hadn’t made many breakthroughs, it hadn’t stagnated either.

There were still some satellites in the sky, and within the base city, there was a local network. However, communication between base cities required the use of satellites, and the current satellites were a hundred years old and somewhat outdated, making their use expensive.

Within the base city, though, local network communication was possible.
