Chapter 197: Ghost Item Duplication Card
"Dear Chosen One, congratulations on completing the large-scale scenario ’Battle for Fierce Ghost Street.’ The instance settlement begins!"
The first message that popped into Alexander’s mind left him momentarily stunned.
’Dear’?
Just by completing a large-scale scenario, even the address had changed. Had he become a VIP?
Looking around at the other chosen ones, he saw similar expressions of astonishment; clearly, the change in address wasn’t exclusive to him.
Then, the assessment began, and this time, the instance score prompt was straightforward.
"Total contribution for this instance: 163420. Scenario score: 100+. Instance ranking has been raised to SS."
"For attaining the highest position of Honorary President of the Fierce Ghost Association, the instance ranking has been elevated to SSS."
"For ranking first in contribution, the instance ranking has been promoted to EX!"
"The instance evaluation has ended. Dear Chosen One, you can choose to remain in the scenario and return after ten hours, or opt to return immediately."
"Dear Chosen One, your ranking is EX, meeting the criteria for a global announcement to all Chosen Ones. Would you like to proceed?"
Truly a VIP treatment!
Unlike other scenarios where participants returned immediately after completion, Alexander could remain longer due to his Ghost Master status. Others also had ten hours to stay, after which they could choose to return to the real world.
For a moment, every chosen one instinctively turned their gaze to Alexander.
After all, this scenario saw minimal casualties among the chosen ones, except for a few reckless individuals.
Apart from Alexander, General Henry had the highest contribution, a whopping over 200,000. Combined with his Chief Instructor title, he secured an SS-ranking.
They all knew who to credit for their achievements. Without Alexander, not only would high rankings be unattainable, but the brutal battles and skirmishes before the two factions clashed would have meant very few survivors, regardless of their affiliation choices.
The hundred thousand participants mostly entered the scenario prepared for the worst. Of course, they weren’t devoid of gratitude.
Seeing Alexander not choosing to return immediately, everyone, in silent agreement, stayed on, eager to see the rewards. At the very least, they wanted to personally thank Alexander before departing.
But Alexander’s attention was wholly focused on the instance rewards, hardly noticing others’ reactions. He had initially braced himself for a long list of horrifying notifications.
Past experiences taught him that kills, tasks, and other accomplishments within the instance would be meticulously listed by the system.
However, the scoring mechanism had changed in large-scale scenarios. Without side quests or bonus tasks, everything was translated into contribution points.
Surpassing 1.6 million contribution points, he not only achieved a full score but earned an EX rating in a scenario with a hundred thousand participants!
Alexander’s heart raced. Since his first novice evaluation, he had never anticipated instance rewards as much as he did now.
A large-scale scenario that no one had ever truly conquered, feared by all chosen ones, had now given Alexander an EX rating.
How generous would the rewards be?
Without hesitation, he declined the global announcement. Filled with anticipation and excitement, the reward notification appeared in his mind.
Congratulations, revered Selector Sir Alexander, for successfully completing the large-scale instance ’Ghost Street Showdown’ with an EX rating. Here are your rewards:
Ghost Qi +50,000
Ghost Coins +1,000,000
Golden Ingots +10 strings (990 individual ingots)
Ghost Item Duplication Card
All-Ghost Secret Treasure Instance Transfer Order
Talent Exclusive Scroll
Talent Transfer Card
Ghost Skill of Prince Level: Underworld Angry Sword
Ghost Item: Underworld Sword (Growth Type)
"Holy shit, this is insane!"
Seeing the reward information materialize and feeling the terrifying surge of Ghost Qi within him, Alexander couldn’t help but curse out loud in astonishment.
A million Ghost Coins alone was already surprising, especially for Alexander who was used to earning tens of thousands regularly. The average instance would reward just a few thousand Ghost Coins at most.
The most impressive reward was the Ghost Qi – fifty thousand! How many instances would one have to clear to accumulate so much Ghost Qi?
As for the Golden Ingots, one string equates to 99 individual ingots. He was given ten strings, enough to cultivate a new batch of experts for the Ghost Association.
His attention then shifted to the rest of the rewards, the real creme de la creme.
The Ghost Item Duplication Card was a rare reward from large-scale instances. With it, one could duplicate any item, making it incredibly valuable.
If you have a ghost coin, after using it, you’ll witness a miraculous scene: the ghost coin will split itself, and from then on, you’ll have nine ghost coins. Amazing, isn’t it?
Why would anyone use it on a mere Ghost Coin?
His first instinct was to consider the Ghost Bell, a risky item that could potentially summon Hell’s Warriors.
However, he quickly dismissed the thought. Anything that even the mysterious "K" feared was too dangerous to tamper with.
His eyes darted across his inventory and finally settled on a bottle of wine – the Shadow Cabernet Neon Edition.
Of all the things he possessed, this particular item was the most precious.
It has the power to awaken memories of past lives in both humans and ghosts, granting them forbidden strength.
Setting aside the matter of past-life memories, this forbidden strength is undeniably a game-breaking power in the world of horror.
It’s so powerful that it borders on the absurd and irrational.
Louis, who initially only had the strength of a evil spirit, was able to withstand divine punishment that even the Ghost Emperor could not handle, all because of this forbidden strength, elevating him to a godlike status in the ghost city.
Then there’s Dolly. She was just an ordinary chosen one, but because of this power, she was blacklisted by the entire dark hell, becoming a being even the Ghost Emperor feared.
Regardless of how absurd this forbidden strength seems, it’s undoubtedly a game-breaking force!
If it could be duplicated... Su Rong and Full Moon would advance at a pace far surpassing that of Alexander, the chosen one.
Su Rong, Full Moon, Annie, Sam, Terence, Asfur, perhaps even adding Richard, and the slowly repairing Angel.
Exactly eight. Plus, leaving the remaining bottle for himself, having nine Louis or nine Dollys walking down the Ghost Street would strike fear even in the Ghost Emperor.
Of course, the assumption is that this item can be duplicated, given its game-breaking nature.
Excitedly, he cleared some space in his inventory and, without hesitation, used the duplication card on the wine.
A hazy white mist enveloped the wine bottle in his storage space.
As the mist spread, two bottles of the Shadow Cabernet Neon Edition slowly appeared, filling the previously empty slots.
