Chapter 87: The zero-cost promotion has started
"Congratulations on reaching 60 points of favorability. The special effect of the skill ’Unhindered Social Interaction Charm Syndrome’ is triggered! You received the Flame Prince’s favorability reward: Ghost Energy +90, Ghost Coins +2500, Ghost Technique Soul Whip Upgrade Card, Secret Treasure ’Biography of the Deceased.’"
Soul Whip Upgrade Card, Biography of the Deceased?
The prompt appearing in Alexander’s mind made him feel delighted.
Although the Soul Whip skill was somewhat unconventional, it was still Alexander’s only attack ghost technique, and being able to upgrade it was certainly the best outcome.
Alexander didn’t have high hopes of actually getting another divine technique as a reward, as it would be too unrealistic. This reward was exactly what he wanted.
The other reward, ’Biography of the Deceased’, sounded quite thrilling, and he was also satisfied with it.
Anyway, all the secret treasures that have appeared so far have been useful!
It’s a bit ironic that while others’ instance are full of danger, and veteran players often fight against ghost creatures, Alexander has not experienced any serious fights.
The sole purpose of this Soul Whip seems to be for rewarding Black Silk Stocking Annie.
If this was written into a novel, it would be absurd! There haven’t been any battle plots in a hundred and eighty Chapters!
It will certainly come in handy! I, Alexander, will sooner or later experience a truly vigorous fight to the death!
Alexander thought to himself.
"Brother Alexander! It’s getting late, and I should go back. If Brother Alexander has time, remember to come to our Happy Street. You will be treated as a VIP. As long as you are on Happy Street, if anyone dares to disrespect you, I’ll tear him apart!"
Having successfully sworn brotherhood with Alexander, the Flame Prince was quite excited. However, seeing that it was getting late, he proposed to leave.
"Brother Kassadin is too polite! By the way..." Alexander was about to get up to see him off when he seemed to think of something and said,
"Brother Kassadin, this time I entered the instance as a chosen one, and I can’t take people with me. I was wondering if I could have my subordinate temporarily join Happy Street?"
"Of course, no problem! Your subordinate is my subordinate. Rest assured, I guarantee that I will nurture him with care. When you meet again, his power will at least break through to the level of a Ghost General!" The Flame Prince agreed without hesitation.
A Ghost General!
As expected of the prince, he is really generous!
Alexander was shocked, and Sam, who was standing next to him, was even more excited when he heard this.
"I should go now. Let your subordinate come to find me on Happy Street tomorrow morning!" Looking at the time, the Flame Prince spoke.
"No problem!" Naturally, Alexander agreed and saw the Flame Prince out of the clinic.
However, to Alexander’s surprise, just as the Flame Prince left the clinic, an instance prompt suddenly sounded in his ear:
"Special changes have occurred in the Happiness Clinic instance, the instance ends early. All chosen ones can choose to leave the instance immediately for settlement, or stay until tomorrow morning!"
The instance ended early again?
What’s different this time is that last time it ended early because Alexander became the manager of the restaurant.
And this time, it’s because Sam, who was in charge of the clinic, was taken away by the Flame Prince and will leave tomorrow morning.
How could this happen so suddenly?
Alexander actually wanted to stay here longer, perhaps this instance could directly collect enough money to repay Su Rong’s mortgage!
"What’s going on? Charles, did you hear the prompt? Our instance is ending early!"
As Alexander was regretting, Yui Hatano and the others ran over excitedly from the rest area in the back.
Alexander, of course, couldn’t tell the truth. Sam might play a big role in the future, so he also made an excited face and said,
"Perhaps it’s because our business was too good, and we completed the task early! Since it’s already ending early, let’s leave quickly! Who knows what will happen when Jack comes back!"
"That’s great! I can’t believe we actually survived, Charles, this is all your merit!"
"Charles, you are so amazing! When I go out, I will let everyone know about your deeds!"
"Charles, I will be your loyal fan from now on..."
Although Alexander was hiding something, everyone still knew that it was all thanks to him and thanked him.
"There’s no need to thank me, this is all I should do! Everyone should hurry back! I will leave last to avoid any accidents!"
Alexander said righteously.
After all, if these guys don’t leave quickly, how can he loot the plugins?
Because the instance ended early unexpectedly, there wasn’t much time left!
Everyone expressed their gratitude and reluctantly said goodbye to Alexander under his urging.
"Charles, don’t forget our agreement! You can come to Japan anytime you want, and I will introduce other actors to you." Yui Hatano was the last one to leave. She winked at Alexander, her body turned into a white light and disappeared.
Yui Hatano is indeed very dedicated!
"At least I can learn many special positions from them, the more techniques the better!"
Finally, with the departure of Yui Hatano, Alexander showed a bright smile on his face and waved to Sam:
"Call all the ghost servants, the zero-cost promotion has started!"
Dozens of ghost servants, under the control of Sam’s Yin Bead, have completely turned into porters.
Alexander is in charge of continuously loading the plugins they bring into his instances using ghost beads.
Now Alexander has two instances, a Ghost Street Clinic and a Tube Building.
Without going into detail about the Ghost Street Clinic, the Tube Building is a building, and it needs a lot of plugins.
Of course, the benefits are obvious.
Inviting Chosen Ones to participate in instances can earn some ghost coins, but the income that Alexander sees now is obviously not worth his time.
Instances also serve a more important function, which is to provide a channel for ghosts to absorb ghost qi.
In the world of horror, there is no such thing as a cultivation system or techniques, the only way for all ghosts to improve is to directly absorb ghost qi.
Why ghost masters often grow faster than wandering ghosts is not only because they earn ghost coins, the most important thing is that they can absorb ghost qi and use the ghost master or Yin Bead to enhance the power of ghosts.
The higher the fear value brought to the Chosen Ones, the faster this absorption speed.
Therefore, Alexander has no intention of letting go of any plugins, he installs them while giving orders;
"Hurry up, everyone hurry up! When you’re done, let Sam take you to Happy Street to be the boss!"
"Hey, that one hanging over there, don’t just think about the chandelier! The ceiling, roll the ceiling down with your tongue too!"
"Can you be a little more careful, do you think these plugins are blown in by the wind? Didn’t you see such a big floor? Lift it, all lift it for me!"
"Faster, faster! If there’s nothing to take, dig up the dirt on the ground, who knows what might be hiding underneath! Dig at least three feet in every spot!"
...
Time passed quickly overnight, and the plugins from one clinic allowed Alexander to fully decorate a floor, and it was the most top-tier decoration, very luxurious and extravagant.
Digging three feet is not just a phrase anymore, that’s exactly how Alexander did it!
The next day, Alexander returned and Sam took the ghost servants to join the Flame Prince Kassadin.
Jack, who received the early end instance prompt, even gave up the game that was at a critical moment and hurried back to the clinic.
Then he was dumbfounded!
This is... his clinic? If you didn’t look from the outside, you wouldn’t dare to admit it!
Where is the human head chandelier? Where is the human face table? Where are the floor and wallpaper?
Where are his ghost servants? Where is the trusted deputy director Sam?
Even the ground has been dug three feet deep, isn’t that too absurd?
