Chapter 115: Shadow Cabernet Neon Edition
"What you said makes a lot of sense...but wouldn’t this be a bit inappropriate?"
Alexander felt he should maintain a bit of restraint, he shouldn’t appear too greedy in front of his employees.
"What’s wrong with it! Boss, you’re the chosen one! You originally had three hours of shopping time, you grabbed all of it with your own ability! What’s wrong with that? Isn’t this very reasonable?" Chris spoke in a confident tone.
At the same time, he lifted a shelf and placed it directly in front of Alexander, grabbing his hand and placing it on the shelf: "What are you waiting for, it’ll be overtime soon, boss! If the ghost master finds out, it will be difficult for us to escape! You’re just too kind-hearted, this is a thrilling instance, you’re the chosen one, what are you hesitating for?"
With the shelf under his hand, what could Alexander do? He felt helpless too!
Under Chris’s incessant persuasion, Alexander had no choice but to reluctantly store the shelves one by one in the building.
"Boss, let me show you some real treasures! This is the treasure of this supermarket!" As all the shelves were stored away, Chris brought a box to Alexander.
With one glance, Alexander could not shift his gaze away. Previously, the most valuable thing he found on the shelf was two boxes of Ghost King grade cigars, priced at thousands of ghost coins.
Even a murderous golf club is just over five thousand ghost coins. But compared to the box in front of him, there is no comparison.
Shadow Cabernet Neon Edition*1
Rank: Emperor Grade
Introduction: Shadow Cabernet Neon Edition is a rare treasure of Ghost World Cabernet, its scarcity even surpasses the 82 Lafite in the human world. This special edition wine is only brewed in the most extreme years in the ghost world, and each year’s production is only a few bottles, which is extremely rare even in the ghost world.
The grapes for this wine come from the oldest vineyard in the ghost world, known as "The Edge of the Underworld". The environment there is extremely harsh, yet the unique ghost world minerals endow the grapes with rich flavor and full-bodied taste. Moreover, only grapes handpicked by the ghost master on the night of the new moon can be used to brew this neon edition wine, which is also why it is so rare.
Each bottle of Shadow Cabernet Neon Edition has a unique serial number and comes with a certificate personally signed by the highest ruler of the ghost world, confirming its brewing year, production, and collection value. This makes it not just a bottle of wine, but also a symbol and pride of status.
Effect: Drinking can recall past lives, whether human or ghost, drinking this wine will awaken past life memories and instantly gain the power of taboo!
Warning: If one’s cultivation is not up to the Imperial, drinking this wine rashly will result in the destruction of the soul!
This wine is a bit powerful! An Emperor Grade ghost item, a drink to awaken past life memories?
So if I drink it, would I awaken my past life on Earth, or the past life of this body’s original owner, Alexander?
Of course, that’s not the point. The point is, this thing can give one the power of taboo!
What is the power of taboo? The previous owner of the Haunted Apartment slaughtered millions of evil spirits just to refine the ghost pill to gain the power of taboo.
Louis saved half of the Dark Hell and became a god in hell, also because he possesses the power of taboo.
Dolly defeated the Ghost King with her bare hands, twisted off the skulls of two Ghost Kings, and had all the ghost masters directly put her on the blacklist, also because of her potential possession of the power of taboo.
The horror of the power of taboo has a supermodel feeling in the world of horror.
How could such a thing appear here? Alexander reached out and picked up the bottle. From the outside, it seemed no different from ordinary items, it even didn’t have any ghost energy.
"Boss, don’t underestimate this thing!" Seeing Alexander frown, Chris thought he was looking down on this bottle of wine and said: "Although it’s not a ghost item, countless ghost generals, ghost kings, and even ghost emperors are eager for it, willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, the highest offer even reached 50,000 ghost coins!"
"50,000?" Alexander was shocked.
The former owner of the Haunted Apartment slaughtered millions of evil spirits just to gain the power of taboo, for this, he was struck by a thunder tribulation, almost destroying the entire Dark Hell.
And you are selling it for only fifty thousand ghost coins?
Alexander looked at his remaining balance of two hundred thousand ghost coins, and wanted to ask if he could buy a few more bottles.
"Don’t complain about the price! This is not just ordinary wine! Do you understand? This stuff was made by a resident of the Ghost Mansion’s eighteenth floor!"
Even though there weren’t many people around, Chris lowered his voice instinctively and said, "This was rumored to be brewed during the period when the previous Ghost Mansion owner privately killed a million evil spirits and caused the heavens’ punishment.
A thunder cloud fell into the dark hell and transformed into a white-clothed girl. With one finger, she directly pierced the roof of the Ghost Mansion, instantly killing the owner who held such formidable power."
"The story doesn’t end there. This girl controlled the thundercloud and tried to destroy the entire Dark Hell. Even the queen of the Dark Hell was helpless against this!"
"Luckily, there was someone who stood up and bore the million thunder tribulations, saving the Dark Hell. That person was Louis."
"According to the story, after bearing the tribulations, Louis and the white-clothed girl had a merry conversation and drunk the last of the fine wine. This wine is therefore extraordinary and naturally, its price is high."
Chris’s words struck a chord in Alexander’s heart, making him realize that there was something special about this.
Not only did Louis manage to survive the heavenly punishment unscathed, but he also had a friendly exchange with the one who was supposed to be his enemy. And all this time, they were drinking wine.
The former owner of the Ghost Mansion was refining a pill at the time and was suddenly met with heavenly punishment. The intensity of the punishment was so high that it even transformed into an absolute killer like the white-clothed girl.
Who the white-clothed girl is aside, did the owner also drink wine while refining the pill?
At that time, it was like a common person facing a terrorist holding a machine gun and explosives. And instead of fighting back, you open a bottle of red wine?
Do you plan to fight the machine gun with a wine bottle?
Obviously, this Shadow Cabernet Neon Edition is not as simple as it seems. This thing was clearly intentionally preserved!
Alexander knew that it wouldn’t be easy to take.
If no one knew about it, then it wouldn’t matter. But if people found out that Alexander took the wine and figured out the story behind it, it would definitely lead to endless trouble in the future.
Don’t take it? Are you kidding me?
The forbidden power!
Even though I can’t use it now, there will be a day when I reach the Imperial level, and as long as I drink this, I will have the forbidden power.
Dolly is a simple, cute and shy girl. When she awakened the forbidden power, she killed two ghost kings with one hand each.
Louis is just an evil spirit, but with the forbidden power, he becomes the god of the entire Dark Hell.
If Alexander could reach the prince level and drink this bottle of wine, he would be the king in the dark hell.
Must take it away, must take it away!
"Not bad, I’m going to go complete my mission now. Remember, once the instance is over, go report to the Ghost Clinic right away. Don’t get caught by others! I hope, even though Charles is dead, the rest of you three siblings are still complete."
Alexander put away the Shadow Cabernet Neon Edition and instructed Chris.
He doesn’t regret killing Charles, but after all, it was he who caused a member of the perfect family to be missing. This Chris looks good, at least for a while he can be used to maintain order in the Ghost Clinic.
"Boss, don’t worry, as soon as you leave, I’ll go to the Ghost Clinic!" Chris promised without hesitation, grateful for Alexander’s reminder.
Hearing that there was a 60% goodwill reward, Alexander finally felt relieved and turned to leave.
It’s time to go meet the supermarket manager!
This manager is not a good person, his initial favorability is negative, so Alexander doesn’t need to be polite to him.
