Chapter 112: You said that person who ran away, it wouldn’t be me, would it?
Alexander had no immediate intention to head directly to the basement because no one knows what dangers might lurk there! It wouldn’t be too late to go to the hidden location after sweeping the mall clean.
With half of the twenty-minute countdown remaining, Alexander quickly started to act.
Before the time was up, things on the shelves couldn’t be taken. However, this didn’t prevent some people from already having found their targets. They were squatting on the spot, casting warning glances at Alexander as they saw him.
Alexander also had no intention to compete with these people. He quickly scanned the shelves.
Most of the goods had been burned but were still piled on the shelves, making it very difficult to find items. Most of the things were ordinary goods worth one or two points.
After checking several shelves in succession, he only found two ghost items that no one was guarding, and they were all specter-level items. The highest one was worth only ten points.
Obviously, if you want to find real treasures, relying on the naked eye is not enough. You also need to sift through a lot.
The placement here was chaotic, and many shelves were collapsed. Nobody knew whether what was under the piles of junk were treasures or hidden predators.
However, Alexander wasn’t in a hurry. After a simple search for a while, he ran to a corner on the third floor where no one was and waited quietly.
Soon, as the countdown ended, the sound of rummaging came from the distance.
Occasionally, there were roars and screams. It was clear that some unlucky ghosts had encountered predators and were under attack.
Alexander didn’t rummage for items. He was here to stock up, not to dig for goods. He didn’t need to bother so much. He grabbed a shelf at will, and the ghost bead in his hand emitted a white light.
The next second, the entire shelf, along with the items on it, disappeared all at once, revealing a skeleton with only half of its body left underneath, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws.
If this were other chosen ones, even if they were veterans, they would probably be scared by such a sudden appearance. Unfortunately, this skeleton plug-in met Alexander.
After all, who would be scared by a pile of money suddenly appearing? He reached out and grabbed the waving claw of the skeleton, yanked it up, and got several hundred ghost coins!
That’s how Alexander’s stocking up method was, simple and brutal. Not only did he not let go of the shelves and goods, but Alexander also didn’t let go of the clutter on the ground, let alone the plug-ins.
Coming to the mall was not easy, and waste was shameful! Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he would take it first.
Nothing was left where he had been.
...
Not far from where Alexander was plundering, under a collapsed shelf, a specter-level hanged ghost held its breath. Under the shelf next to him, there was a whole specter-level cigarette.
He was one of the customers of this mall. Because of his long-term consumption in the mall, he won this precious quota.
According to the rules, as long as a chosen one lifts this shelf, he could do whatever he wanted with that chosen one. This was not the first time the hanged ghost had participated in such an event.
Generally, collapsed shelves or clutter are likely to contain treasures, but often they also hide predators like him.
Therefore, in previous instances, it was only in the final stages that the selected ones would take risks for points to explore these places.
The hanging ghost was in no hurry and waited patiently for its prey to arrive. Suddenly, the shelves above disappeared, and the view in front of him was suddenly clear.
"Ha ha! Am I so lucky this time? A prey is delivered to me right at the start!"
The hanging ghost had a ferocious smile on his face, his long tongue flicked, and he stood up abruptly, intending to enjoy the astonished and fearful face of his prey before catching him.
He indeed saw a stunned face, but there was no fear, instead, there was... surprise?
What’s going on? The hanging ghost subconsciously looked around, and the shelves that had blocked him were nowhere to be found.
Not only the collapsed shelves on him, even the shelves in front were gone, and the debris on the ground was also gone, as if someone had cleaned it up.
"Indeed very lucky!" After a brief surprise, Alexander also showed a smile.
Ghoul-level ghost food, to be honest, wasn’t very useful to him, but it was undeniably a rare delicacy, and this thing is still quite useful for ghouls.
Focused on scavenging for treasures, how could he forget about these hunters! Luckily it’s not too late!
Alexander didn’t waste any words, took out a baseball bat directly, and poured the ghost qi into it crazily.
As the ghost qi circulated, his strength was naturally perceived by the other party. A Ghost-level selector, that’s really unlucky!
The hanging ghost’s smile froze on his face, he didn’t care where the shelves had gone, and said awkwardly: "Actually... I’m just here to sleep, you continue, I won’t disturb!"
"Not disturbing at all!" There’s no way Alexander would let the ghost food slip away just like that, without saying a word he swung his bat down: "Get out!"
Bang!
Without a doubt, although the baseball bat isn’t a treasure, Alexander’s strength has already reached a high level.
His two-day stay in the Ghost Association was not in vain, with now thousands of points of ghost qi, even without using ghost techniques and higher-level ghost items, a ghoul-level ghost can’t resist, a bat swing down, head exploded instantly.
Using the Ghost Chef ability, quickly transformed the hanging ghost’s ghost body into ghost food, Alexander looked at the ground.
A whole line of cigarettes! All are ghoul-level, indeed, the good stuff is guarded by hunters.
Putting the cigarettes into the storage column, Alexander continued to scavenge. The third floor is obviously a relatively dangerous area, there aren’t many Chosen Ones here, but with Alexander’s scavenging, it was quickly noticed.
Five selectors in total, obviously a group, all five are ghoul-level strength, one of them inadvertently saw the scene of Alexander taking away the shelves, his eyes suddenly lit up.
But he didn’t dare to act on his own, and quickly called his companions.
"You’re not kidding!" A somewhat older selector, holding a large black ax, incredulously said while walking:
"Is there really a storage tool? You’re kidding, in the whole horror world, besides the storage column, I’ve never heard of other storage tools, you wouldn’t mistake the storage column for a storage tool, would you?"
"All I’m saying is true!"
A young man holding a blood-stained kitchen knife excitedly said: "I saw him wave his hand and directly take away a shelf along with the goods on it, this is not something a storage column can do.
He’s taken more than half of the shelves over there, if we just kill him, we’ll get rich this time! But that guy’s strength is probably not simple, I didn’t dare to do it, that’s why I came to find you guys!"
"Well, what are we waiting for, let’s go get him!" The leader with the large ax didn’t say a word and motioned them to go.
Five people immediately walked towards the direction the youth had pointed out. After turning a shelf, the leader suddenly stopped.
"Leader, why aren’t we moving! If we don’t hurry up, the person with the storage treasure will run away!" Seeing the leader stop, the youth hurriedly came forward and said.
But as he took a few steps forward, he also saw the scene on the other side of the shelf.
Just saw that on the other side of the shelf, the other side of the third floor of the mall was already empty, at least one fifth of the place, whether it’s the shelves or the debris on the ground has all disappeared.
Of course, that’s not the point, the point is a figure holding a baseball bat, stepping on two headless ghost bodies, surrounded by ghost qi, looking towards them.
Ghost-level!
Cold sweat instantly flowed down their necks. Although generally, a ghoul is much stronger than a same-rank selector, the five of them together may not be able to beat two ghouls.
But the problem is, these two ghouls were both killed by a headshot.
The third floor of the mall is not small, if there was an intense fight, it would be impossible for them not to notice.
Unless it was... an instant kill!
One man against two ghouls, and it’s a direct headshot instant kill! What kind of strength is this?
Such strength, in some large forces is a strong one, how come to such a highest ghouls-level reward, not much benefit to earn instance?
This person, naturally, is Alexander who is currently scavenging in the mall.
Seems to have heard the young man’s words just now, Alexander slowly turned his head, showing a friendly smile on his face:
"You said that person who ran away, it wouldn’t be me, would it?"
