The World Has Entered an Era of Terror At This Moment

Chapter 18: The Newbie Group in Uproar! Tasks Everywhere!

The girl left with a strong sense of surprise.

She didn’t ask Lin Feng to confirm, because she felt that Lin Feng wasn’t lying. And Lin Feng didn’t give much thought to the matter.

If Lin Feng hadn’t acquired the system, he might have considered the girl’s suggestion.

In Lin Feng’s view, even without the system, with Tongtong’s 2-star potential… she might already be at the ordinary grade by now.

Teaming up with this girl would have been quite suitable.

—

But with the system, Lin Feng had already soared far ahead.

Even if this girl was a typical “second-generation ghost controller,” Lin Feng had left her far behind.

Now, if Lin Feng were to team up with this girl, she would definitely be a burden.

Lin Feng naturally didn’t want to carry a burden around.

—

In the communicator, after the last time Liucheng base issued a time-limited task, they didn’t issue any new ones. Instead, they sent out a message, asking the newly official exorcists of this term to go to the inner city’s schools, if willing, to share their experiences with the 14-year-old students who would awaken their ghost spirits next year.

Each student who went would receive 50 contribution points.

As a result, many of this term’s freshmen started moving.

To these freshmen, 50 contribution points were quite a lot.

After all, not everyone was like that girl, a second-generation ghost controller.

And, after all, they were just fifteen-year-old boys and girls, who had just become ghost controllers, and were eager to show off.

Especially in front of those junior students.

—

Lin Feng wasn’t interested. The reward was only 50 contribution points, after all.

It was better to rest in the villa, take a good nap, and gain some daily experience.

The contribution points from the tasks Lin Feng completed these past few days had gradually been credited.

Now, Lin Feng had nearly 700 contribution points.

There was no need to run around for 50 points.

—

“So comfortable.”

In the villa, Lin Feng enjoyed a hot shower.

In the past few days outside the city, Lin Feng hadn’t had the chance or time to shower.

Outside the city was not like in the base city, where hot water was always available.

Conditions were much more basic. If you want to shower, you have to heat the water yourself or take a cold shower.

After the shower, Lin Feng wrapped himself in a towel and walked out, only to see Tongtong sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring blankly out the window.

Yes, Lin Feng had summoned Tongtong out.

When she saw Lin Feng come out, Tongtong turned her head and stared blankly at him.

Her dazed expression actually made her look rather cute.

Lin Feng felt an urge to pinch her cheeks.

“Tongtong must be the cutest ghost spirit, right?” Lin Feng thought.

In the newbie group, there was quite a bit of discussion about ghost spirits. Some people’s ghost spirits were things like burial clothes, with their ghost spirits being eerie old women or old men, giving off a very spooky vibe.

That fat guy had it even worse. His ghost spirit was one that bled at the slightest touch and only had half a head.

Even if that fat guy could summon his ghost spirit at will like Lin Feng, he probably wouldn’t want to see it!

Such ghost spirits… forming a bond with them wouldn’t be easy.

In contrast, Tongtong was simply too adorable.

—

“Tongtong, come here. I’ll tell you a story~” In the living room, Lin Feng was in the mood to tell Tongtong a story.

Tongtong obediently sat beside Lin Feng.

—

After nightfall, Lin Feng went to bed early.

That day, Lin Feng slept particularly well.

Sleeping outside the city had been uneasy.

Because it was far from as safe as in the base city, you always had to worry about strong ghosts breaking into where you were sleeping, so Lin Feng slept until late morning.

When Lin Feng woke up, he opened his communicator and saw that the newbie group had several thousand new messages.

And the content of these messages was directly related to Lin Feng.

“I knew it, Brother Feng is extraordinary. He left the city, didn’t say a word, and became a grade 3 Ghost Controller!”

“Master, please guide me~”

“Brother Lin, have you gone for certification? They say after certification, you can join the Ghost Controller Alliance.”

“…”

The newbie group was in an uproar.

It seemed Lin Feng’s conversation with the girl had leaked out.

Lin Feng didn’t blame the girl.

After glancing at the newbie group, Lin Feng closed the chat and prepared to see if he could grab any Hazard-Grade tasks.

Lin Feng was still quite cautious.

Even though Tongtong’s power skyrocketed in her red dress state, Lin Feng wasn’t planning to go after anything more dangerous than Hazard-Grade ghosts for now.

The difference in ghosts’ abilities really became apparent after the Hazard Grade.

Ordinary-grade (grade 1) and dangerous-grade (grade 2) ghosts have limited techniques. For instance, that starving ghost couldn’t scare people or use any other attack methods — its only move was swallowing people whole.

But once you get to hazard-grade and above, the difference in techniques becomes much more significant. Sometimes, with the right ghost spirit’s ability, a hazard-grade (grade 3) ghost spirit might even be able to deal with a terrifying-grade (grade 4) ghost.

That’s also what the girl was talking about when she mentioned the importance of teamwork.

—

Lin Feng felt that Tongtong’s abilities were pretty well-rounded, with strong head-on combat capabilities, and when she transformed into her red dress state, she could almost one-shot anything.

But Lin Feng still preferred to be cautious.

Now that Tongtong was at the Hazard Grade in her normal state, and her battle power surged in her red dress state, Lin Feng figured going after some hazard-grade ghosts shouldn’t be too much of a problem!

—

“If only there were an app for snatching tasks.”

After opening the task interface on his communicator, Lin Feng couldn’t help but think.

But this time, Lin Feng was a bit surprised after opening it.

Because…

After filtering for hazard-grade tasks, he found… there were pages full of hazard-grade ghost tasks.

“So many?” Lin Feng quickly refreshed the page, thinking his communicator had lagged.

Previously, every time he refreshed for hazard-grade tasks… there were none.

Occasionally, one or two would pop up, only to be snatched up immediately.

After refreshing, Lin Feng realized he wasn’t mistaken.

Compared to before, indeed, there were risky-grade tasks everywhere!

“What’s going on? Did all the Ghost Controllers die? Why aren’t they fighting over these?” Lin Feng wondered.
