Chapter 59 Liwan Plaza (NPC)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Seeing that the sun is about to go down, Chen Changdong didn't bother to look around anymore and went back with a few crystals that looked like white crystals. Lou Fan and the others are already waiting there. When Lou Fan saw the crystals in Chen Changdong's hand, he shook his head.

"Team leader Chen, you got the wrong crystals."

Chen Changdong also knew that it is wrong but he already tried his best. "I only found these."

Chen Changdong had given up hope and planned to continue looking for it tomorrow. Then, Lou Fan flipped his palm and took out a transparent crystal the size of an egg, with only a white mist-like color in it.

"I found one, take it."

Chen Changdong took the crystal and looked at it for a long time. He found that this crystal is fundamentally different from the crystals found by his team. He put it away silently and said to Lou Fan, "Thanks."

He owed Lou Fan another favor again; getting used to owing him favors.

Lou Fan waved his hand, “Quickly take it to the sun, the sun will go down soon."

Chen Changdong nodded, left the twins behind, and took the other two team members out to bask in the sun. Liu Xing is very tired so she pulled her sister to the staff lounge. After entering, she found a stool and sat down.

On the other side, after listening to what Chen Shuyang said, Jiang Dong didn't know what kind of expression he should show. Wen Lang simply exclaimed out loud, "My god! Shuyang, your spirit weapon is too awesome! Have you finally found the correct way to use it?"

Lou Fan and Qin Tan walked in at this moment and heard Wen Lang making loud noises. Qin Tan frowned, "Speak properly, why are you shouting?"

Wen Lang couldn't calm down at all. Another lucky guy has appeared on the team, how could he calm down?!

"Brother Qin! You don't know how awesome Shuyang is. Copying scriptures into his book is nothing. He can draw amulets in his book! The type that can be used and doesn't need to use cinnabar and yellow papers!!"

People who have been in contact with superstition to some extent will know a little bit of this knowledge. But even if they don't, information like this can be found in the movies. The yellow amulet is a piece of yellow paper on which one uses red cinnabar to draw random patterns on it. Then, it becomes an amulet. In ancient times, talismans were sold at high prices.

"Shuyang can draw amulets in his book?" Lou Fan didn't understand and repeated the sentence.

Before Chen Shuyang could explain, Wen Lang immediately poured everything he heard out. Even the twins next to him heard it clearly, with surprise in their eyes. They haven't heard of this kind of spirit weapon before.

After listening to Wen Lang’s words, Lou Fan showed a happy elderly expression and patted Chen Shuyang on the shoulder, "Shuyang, keep working hard and draw more. You will have to take on the important responsibilities of the team in the future!"

Chen Shuyang nodded immediately.

Qin Tan silently restrained his smile at the side.

Jiang Dong rolled his eyes helplessly. Everyone in this team is not normal, it is really hard for him (as the only normal person).

Lou Fan then asked again, "How many spells have you learned?"

As soon as Lou Fan said these words, he felt like he is asking Chen Shuyang how many words did he learn today (like how a father asked his child about his studies)?

Chen Shuyang looked guilty, "Only one, the others are a bit complicated and haven't learned yet."

Lou Fan simply oh-ed and said, "Then, keep learning."

Liu Xing and Liu Yue: …

…

The afterglow of the sun sprinkled on the white crystal. As if white gas is poured into it, the white smoke slowly filled the crystal and gradually turned it into a milky white crystal, which the tone is slightly thinner than pure white. It is not until the sun sank into the ground and the sky began to darken that Chen Changdong brought Yuan Jin and Dong Xu back to the staff lounge.

After reuniting with the twins, Chen Changdong felt that their expressions are a bit strange, and the gaze they looked at Lou Fan’s team is even stranger. But they are in front of other people so Chen Changdong didn't ask. He just sat down in the empty seat and started eating to replenish his strength.

It is almost 7.00 pm and Chen Changdong planned to take a rest before going upstairs to try his luck. If he could find an evil spirit, he would capture it first. Otherwise, once it is nighttime, he is afraid that their team would be trapped again. As for going down to the B2 floor, it's the same darkness whether day or night anyway, there's no difference.

Glancing at the white crystal in his hand, Chen Changdong paused. Then he raised his head and called Qin Tan. "Team leader Qin, you want to know how to upgrade the spirit weapon, right? Let me tell you roughly about it first." He doesn't like to owe favors, and he owes more and more this time.

Lou Fan immediately moved the small bench and sat in front of Chen Changdong with a look of listening intently. Behind him stood Qin Tan and the other three. Everyone is curious and looking forward to knowing how to upgrade the spirit weapon.

Facing 5 pairs of curious eyes, Chen Changdong coughed uncomfortably. It is because their gazes are too intense that he couldn't stand them, causing goosebumps all over his body.

"Actually, the upgrade of a spirit weapon is related to physical fitness. The second condition is an opportunity (fortunate encounter). When your body improves and can withstand the power of an intermediate spirit weapon, that means you are ready to upgrade your spirit weapon, which is a necessary condition. As for the opportunity, this is hard to say. Everyone's opportunity is different. As far as I know, some upgraded their weapon during an emergency because they wanted to help their companion, while some upgraded when they themselves are in danger. Some simply have an epiphany... In short, an opportunity is a rare occurrence."

All Chen Changdong can say is just 2 or 3 sentences, but he knew that it is not so easy to upgrade the spirit weapon. Like him, he already upgraded but his team has yet to produce a second intermediate spirit weapon. This is an example of the rareness. He paused for a while and then said, "The improvement of physique actually depends on luck, because it is not always possible to find something to improve our physique in the mission world. So far, only three of us have improved our physique."

If one doesn't improve their physique, they can't upgrade their spirit weapon. The threshold is high enough.

Lou Fan exchanged glances with his teammates, tacitly knowing that everyone on the team have improved their physique. They have nothing to be afraid of.

After Chen Changdong finished speaking, he stood up and took his fishing rod. Then he called his teammates, preparing to go upstairs to hunt ghosts. He checked his fishing rod to make sure it is intact. After reminding a few more words, he is ready to leave.

"Team leader Chen, do you mind if I go with you?" Qin Tan asked before they went out.

Everyone looked at Qin Tan, even Lou Fan didn't know what he is planning to do.

Chen Changdong also looked at Qin Tan, "Team leader Qin, are you sure you want to go with us?"

Qin Tan actually didn’t plan to do anything at first. But he thought Chen Changdong is a good person, and he told them about the upgrade of the spirit weapon. Secondly, he wanted to know how powerful the evil spirit is. It is his habit to always plan ahead and get a good understanding of the enemy.

Qin Tan's eyes are firm, showing his intention so Chen Changdong could not refuse.

"I'll go too." Lou Fan walked over to Qin Tan, "I don't feel at ease about you going alone, I'll go with you."

Wen Lang, Jiang Dong, and Chen Shuyang immediately echoed, "I'll go too."

Qin Tan looked at his team helplessly. They are like a dog skin plaster (super sticky), and he couldn't shake them off.

The ghost-hunting team suddenly grew bigger. Although Chen Changdong didn't understand why the junior team wanted to follow them to do the task, he is very welcoming of this change inside. No one will think that there are too many people. With more people, they will be more confident.

The team left, leaving Chen Shuyang to look after the eminent monk and protect their mission target. Before leaving, Chen Shuyang gave Lou Fan and his team members all the Yang Gathering Amulet that he drew.

"Although it may not be super useful, take them just in case. The master also said that it is effective so you can try to use it. If they don’t work, you can return them to me. Otherwise, just treat it as bringing me along with you."

Hearing that, Wen Lang rolled his eyes. He bared his teeth and tried to pinch Chen Shuyang, but Chen Shuyang avoided him.

…

Lou Fan and his team have been on the 4th and 5th floors before. Although they got attacked by some ghosts before, the condition of the floors was not the same as they are now. The entire 4th floor looked dead and dark. It is pitch black without lights and they can only see the people around them with a little light from themselves.

Qin Tan reminded everyone to be careful and try to take care of the people around them. It would be better if they hold hands so as not to get separated. Immediately after saying that, he grabbed Lou Fan's hand.

Wen Lang didn't listen to the advice as he doesn’t plan to hold hands with Jiang Dong. Just the thought of it gave him goosebumps. However, his hand is grabbed and Jiang Dong's hand held his tightly.

"Hey, aren’t you disgusted by this? We are 2 adult men holding hands..." Wen Lang couldn't go on.

However, Jiang Dong simply grabbed Wen Lang’s hand and tugged, "Don't talk, don't you know there are ghosts here?"

Wen Lang: … Can't talk if there are ghosts around? Fine, I’ll let you have the final say.

Wen Lang shifted his hand awkwardly but didn't pull it out.

Chen Changdong had the master’s Yang Gathering Amulet and a white crystal in his hand, but these items are reserved for the B2 floor, where the yin aura is heavier. Without these 2 things, it would be impossible for them to move even an inch forward. Relatively speaking, they can still see things on the 4th floor so they’ll make do with it.

Their flashlights are really not very useful here. Lou Fan took out the simple version of the Yang Gathering Amulet given by Chen Shuyang and stuck it on the wall. He thought that it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work but he found that the black smoke within a 5-meter radius had dissipated, and the plaza’s light above his head lighted up.

"Shuyang, you are awesome. This amulet really works." Lou Fan muttered, feeling very relieved.

Wen Lang snapped his fingers, "Shuyang has finally found his path. He should follow the master and convert to Buddhism, it suits him."

Lou Fan: "Don't, Shuyang's parents are still waiting for him to give them a grandson. Don't come up with bad ideas."

The Level 10 team didn't expect the junior team’s amulet to work which was drawn with neutral strokes, and they are all a little surprised.

Liu Xing clicked her tongue twice, "You guys are so lucky. Imagine how many points can you sell it in Lazuli." These words simply pointed out a way for Lou Fan to make a fortune.

Lou Fan: !!!!

That’s right! This is simply a shortcut to getting rich. This amulet is a paranormal item, which is scarce equipment. There will be people fighting to buy it in Lazuli!

Lou Fan, Wen Lang, and Jiang Dong looked at each other. They can see the shine of RMB in each other's eyes. Points ah!!!

Our treasured Shuyang!

Liu Xing got frightened by the ferocious light in their eyes and shrank to her sister's side. The expressions of these people are a little scary. She’s afraid that they might be a little abnormal.

Chen Changdong, who is completely focused on the darkness, is looking at the black mist not far away. His eyes narrowed and he swung his arm, casting the fishing rod without hesitation. The fishing line with the hook flew as the reel rolls out, falling into darkness in an instant. Immediately, Chen Changdong's arm tightened. The hook caught something again.

This time, they can see with the light, and Chen Changdong learned from the experience of the last time. He didn't panic at all and steadily pulled the fishing rod, swaying it left and right just like fishing. Then he slowly shook the handle to recover the fishing line.

A mass of black mist separated from the darkness, and then it struggled to retreat back into the darkness.
