Chapter 17 Challenger Privileges Activated!
Hangcheng, in an abandoned warehouse in the western suburbs.
Jiang Chen looked at the semi-transparent panel that appeared in front of him.
He was particularly curious about the information and functions listed above.
This also forced him to stop his journey back to the underworld.
Challenger: Jiang Chen
[Country: China]
Challenger Level: C
[Possesses 500 Ghost Coins]
[Cultivation Level: Late Stage of Fierce Ghost]
[Equipment possessed: Soul-Hooking Lock (Low-grade D), Soul-Capturing Bag (Low-grade D), Mourning Staff (Low-grade D)]
"Is this my personal information?"
Looking at everything displayed on the screen in front of him, Jiang Chen seemed to be deep in thought.
In the underworld, strange artifacts are divided into magical artifacts, magical treasures, spiritual artifacts, and spiritual treasures, while strange copies are simply represented by letters.
As for the rest, it seems that nothing has changed.
Besides the extra ghost coins.
Jiang Chen saw the "Strange Coins" section in his personal information.
He reached out and tapped it, and a string of information appeared in his mind the next moment.
[Strange Coins: A currency exclusive to the Strange Dungeon, obtainable only through dungeons.]
[How to use: You can purchase the items you need in the Mysterious Shop.]
"So that's how it is, the currency exclusive to the bizarre dungeon."
After learning about the Ghost Coins, Jiang Chen exited his personal profile and entered the Ghost Shop.
As soon as he opened the online store, he was amazed by what he saw inside.
"Holy crap! There's so much of this?"
"And they're all fucking expensive!"
As soon as the online store opened, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up at the dazzling array of products.
But when he saw the price, his face immediately darkened.
The eerie marketplace is divided into three sections:
The [Strange Weapons Area], [Cultivation Techniques Area], and finally, the [Items Area]
There's not much to say about the artifact area; it's full of artifacts.
The lowest grade D low-level ghost artifact costs 1000 ghost coins here!
Medium grade costs 2000, high grade costs 3000, and top grade costs 4000!
This price is practically robbery.
The three low-grade D-rank artifacts he carried, which are the worst standard equipment in the underworld, are worth at least 1000 ghost coins here!
"Tsk tsk, I never imagined that the equipment carried by each of the ghost messengers in the underworld would be so valuable?"
After clicking his tongue a couple of times, Jiang Chen continued reading.
"Hmm, what's this?"
On the side of the artifact area interface, he saw a furnace-shaped decoration.
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Chen clicked on it directly.
[Do you wish to perform equipment recovery?]
"Holy crap, equipment recycling?!"
Upon seeing the system's prompt, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up again.
After thinking for a moment, he still chose yes.
He needs to figure out these functions.
Please select recyclable equipment.
As the system finished speaking, three icons appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
From left to right: Soul-Hooking Lock, Mourning Stick, Soul-Capturing Bag.
Without hesitation, he chose the Soul-Hooking Lock.
[Soul-Hooking Lock, Grade D Low-grade Ghost Artifact, Recyclable]
[The buyback price is 1000 minus a 1% handling fee. Would you buy it?]
"no!"
This time, Jiang Chen didn't hesitate at all and directly chose no.
Even though it's equipment from the underworld, he's reluctant to part with it, especially since there's a handling fee for recycling it.
You can only get 990 yuan after recycling 1,000 yuan.
Even though it was only one percent, Jiang Chen was still heartbroken.
"Shady businessman!"
Cursing under his breath, Jiang Chen exited the artifact area.
We entered the cultivation area.
The cheapest one here costs 2000 Ghost Coins.
A decent one costs 5000 Ghost Coins, not to mention those that look incredibly high-end.
The string of zeros that followed made Jiang Chen dizzy and his hands and feet go numb.
"Holy crap, is this even possible?!"
"So expensive? Are you buying this for a ghost?!"
From the information just now, Jiang Chen learned that if the challenger dies in the instance, everything he has obtained will be taken back by the strange system.
And that copy is obvious to all.
If it weren't for the fact that it's so buggy, very few people would be able to pass.
Not to mention the strange coins that could be accumulated to buy cultivation techniques.
"That's really perverted."
Jiang Chen shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.
He left the cultivation technique area and went directly to the final item area.
As soon as he entered, the things inside caught his attention.
[Prop: Substitute Doll]
Price: 300 Ghost Coins
[Function: To die in someone else's place]
[Prop: Magnifying Glass for the Truth]
Price: 200 Ghost Coins
[Function: By pointing the magnifying glass at the rules, one can identify one true rule and one false rule. Limited to one use.]
……
Inside the abandoned warehouse, Jiang Chen looked at the props displayed on the transparent panel.
I was slightly surprised.
He never expected that these prop-type products would be so bizarre.
Although each item can only be used once, they are all life-saving artifacts.
Of course, this is not beginner-friendly.
"Interesting, very interesting. As long as you successfully clear the first eerie dungeon and obtain eerie coins, the chances of clearing subsequent eerie dungeons will be much greater."
"To pass the first level, you need to be mentally and emotionally prepared, plus you need the help of the items."
"The toughest challengers will only get stronger, while the newbies..." Sorry, they'll just have to be eliminated!
It's cruel, but that's reality!
After taking another look at the eerie shop, especially the props section, Jiang Chen discovered that there were quite a few interesting items inside.
For example, there are invisibility talismans that can make one invisible, and there are also shock grenades that can render strange creatures incapable of moving.
There are so many fun things inside, but none of them are of any use to Jiang Chen right now.
"It's time to go back."
I glanced at the countdown days on the panel.
More than half an hour had passed.
And he should go back.
Thinking about the reality I would face after returning to the underworld.
Jiang Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
"Alas, what is meant to be will be."
With a sigh, he no longer hesitated and mentally closed the system panel.
He stepped through the gates to the underworld.
"Reality, here I come!"
……
The underworld, on the banks of the Yellow Springs River.
A furtive figure dressed in a white robe was seen tiptoeing into the interior.
This ghost is none other than Jiang Chen, who has returned from the mortal realm.
Now, he carefully looks around before taking each step.
Seeing that no other ghosts were paying attention to him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, this is the first time I've ever felt like a thief going back to the underworld."
Jiang Chen sighed helplessly, noticing that no other ghost messengers around him were paying attention to him.
Jiang Chen then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Find the right direction to Fengdu City and proceed cautiously.
However, just as Jiang Chen took a step, before he even landed...
A hand was resting on his left shoulder.
Then a rather irritating voice came from behind.
"Hey, Lao Jiang, come back."
"Where have you been these past seven days?"
"Why can't I see you?"
Jiang Chen felt a tap on his shoulder and then suddenly heard a noise behind him.
Jiang Chen was so startled that he immediately exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
He shuddered violently, and when he turned around, he came face to face with the grinning, fat face of Black Impermanence King.
"Was it really necessary for Jiang Zemin?"
"You're reacting so strongly just because I patted you."
Seeing Jiang Chen's strong reaction, Fatty Wang was secretly delighted.
He was about to make a few more jokes when he suddenly felt a faint but palpable killing intent emanating from him.
"Um?"
Sensing something amiss, Fatty Wang looked in the direction he sensed.
Jiang Chen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was staring at him with murderous intent in his eyes.
