Private lounge.
Tao Nai looked at the warmly decorated lounge and felt a little dazed for a moment, feeling as if he had returned to the real world.
"Players will not return to the real world immediately after coming out of the game. They will first go to the public lounge, and then the players can choose whether to go back to the real world or stay in the ghost market." Ji Xiaoyue's voice sounded faintly, "So you don't have to doubt , you don’t have the goods to return to the real world yet.”
She was also a newcomer before, so she can probably guess what Tao Nai is thinking now.
"What is a ghost market?" Xiang Qiu asked.
"I can't explain clearly. There are many players living in the ghost market, and there are also many ghosts." Ji Xiaoyue explained simply, "The ghost market is divided into two areas. One is the area where the players live, called Guangming District. The other area is where the ghosts are, called the Dark Zone.”
"Then why do some players choose to stay in the ghost market?" Tao Nai frowned in confusion.
She felt that no normal person would want to live with ghosts!
Ji Xiaoyue: "You should notice that the life spans shown in your personal information are not very long. Those who can enter the game are actually people who have not lived long."
Tao Nai immediately opened his personal panel.
After leaving the dungeon, all negative statuses will be cleared at once.
The data shows that she still has 10 days left to live, but except for lifespan and age, other values have changed.
[HP: 70/100]
[Stamina: 50/100]
[Spirit value: 55/100]
[Intelligence: 90/100]
[Lucky value: 11/100]
[Personal skill points: 3]
[Initial points: 27300]
[Ghost Coin: 7580]
[Personal overall score: D+]
Seeing his points and ghost coins, Tao Nai felt some comfort in his heart, but the 10 days of life were still a bit dazzling.
"My information shows that I only have 5 days to live. But I only got 2,000 points as a reward, which can't buy me many days of life!" Xiang Qiu liked to scratch his hair when he collapsed, "Sister Xiaoyue, I should What should we do?”
"The lifespan will not be consumed in the dungeon. There is no other way except to continue to enter the dungeon to earn points to extend your life." Ji Xiaoyue answered patiently.
"Sister Xiaoyue, why on earth would anyone want to stay in the ghost market?" Tao Nai asked as he opened the Hades Mall to check out the items he had obtained.
The column for the prop backpack displays +2, and the column for the gift pack displays +1.
She first clicked into the prop backpack to check.
[Item name: dilapidated bronze statue fragments (transformed by the obsession of the starving ghost, obtained from completing the ultimate mission) Level:? ? ? Use: Unknown (needs to explore in person). 】
[Prop name: Upgraded silver scalpel (replaces the original scalpel, earned from completing difficult tasks.) Level: Intermediate prop. Uses: Can cause physical damage to ghosts of intermediate level and below. 】
"Because the time flow in the ghost city is slower than that in the real world. One day in the ghost city is equal to two days in the outside world. Life span is hard-won, so many players choose to live in the ghost city." Ji Xiaoyue said, her tone paused. He looked at Tao Nai and said, "Tao Nai, you have gained a lot of points this time, which can be redeemed for more lifespan. If you stay in the real world for a few more days, it is not too late to enter the dungeon."
"Sister Xiaoyue, do you need to find a place to live if you stay in the ghost market?" Tao Nai was looking at her gift bag.
Those two props made her feel a little disappointed, but there was quite a lot in the gift bag.
There are two display accelerators that increase movement speed, two bottles of mental restoratives, and a golden bell that can resist attacks by advanced ghosts.
These are very practical.
"You want to stay in the ghost market?" Ji Xiaoyue was stunned. "If you disappear in the real world for too long, your family and friends will be worried."
Tao Nai raised his head and looked at Ji Xiaoyue, with a faint smile on his lips: "I grew up in an orphanage and stayed in a mental hospital for several years. I have no family or friends."
Looking at Tao Nai's sweet and bright smile, Ji Xiaoyue and Xiang Qiu fell silent.
It was obviously a very sad thing, but now that it came out of the mouth of the girl in front of me, it seemed so relaxed and indifferent.
You must have gone through too much hardship, so you don’t care anymore, right?
Ji Xiaoyue thought of Tao Nai's previous performance in the game. This girl seemed timid, but she made many decisions boldly and decisively.
Now that I think about it, it is not recklessness, but a strong will and decision-making ability that have been tempered by a difficult life.
"Actually, many places in the ghost city are no different from the real world. You need to pay ghost coins for food, clothing, housing and transportation here. If you want to stay here, you can share an apartment with me." Ji Xiaoyue said.
"Can you take me with you?" Xiang Qiu looked at Ji Xiaoyue longingly. His life span was too short, so he didn't plan to return to the real world now.
Ji Xiaoyue glanced at Qiu coolly: "I only have one extra room there."
Xiang Qiu's shoulders immediately slumped: "Okay then."
"Let's go back to the apartment now." Ji Xiaoyue stood up and said, "Although the private lounge is safer than the public lounge. But there is no guarantee that Wang Chai will not find this place. He is a very vindictive person. Tao Nai has completely offended him this time. .”
Tao Nai nodded slowly.
At this time, in the room behind the studio hall.
The fur was shiny, the fat black cat was lying on the ground shivering, and its ears were pushed back to the back of its head to resemble airplane ears.
"At the beginning, I wanted you to become Dean Shen. For this reason, I reshaped Dean Shen's skin. But at the critical moment, I don't know what happened. I flicked my claws and you... ..”
Before the black cat could finish speaking, a thin and pale hand lifted it up by the back of its neck.
"She entered my body." The man sat on the sofa, his low and hoarse voice filled with cold danger.
"Meow?!" Black Cat raised his head because he was so shocked, his pupils almost became a straight line, "What is the origin of that newcomer?"
"This newcomer must be eliminated. I will still enter the next dungeon myself. If you still fail because of your stupidity, I will chop off your claws."
The black cat nodded its head wildly. For the sake of its claws, it would never dare to make a mistake.
Putting the black cat on the ground, Shang Ming lowered his head and glanced at the back of his hand.
There was a tear-shaped red mark on the back of the pale hand, which looked inexplicably dazzling.
The girl's provocation and arrogance before disappearing could not help but appear in his mind, and Shang Ming's thin lips slowly curved into a cruel arc.
Arrogant little guy, you won't be so lucky to escape next time.
