"Instance completion, begin the instance reward settlement!"
"In this instance, a total of one soul was collected, earning 1000 Ghost Coins!"
"In this instance, a total of 316 fears were collected, earning 5460 Ghost Coins."
"For this instance, the selected participant was awarded 1100 Ghost Coins, 18 Ghost Powers, 9 vengeful ghost-level entities. Half of the Ghost Coin and ghost entity rewards will be borne by the Thrilling World, leaving a deduction of 1450 Ghost Coins, with a total gain of 5010 Ghost Coins."
"We're rich! We're rich now!"
Upon returning to the Fierce Ghost Apartment, Su Rong, holding Alexander, showered him with kisses, so excited she could only utter these words.
Over five thousand Ghost Coins!
Nowadays, with the Thrilling World being widely known in reality, and many of the chosen even recording videos, it's becoming increasingly hard to be a ghost.
To scare people, the ghosts in every instance really have to rack their brains.
In instances like Blood Moon Middle School, where there are a lot of ghost servants, it's not so bad.
But for places like the Tube Building, where there's only one ghost master, not very powerful, without much additional aid, they can only rely on their own abilities to create some illusions, making it difficult for many to break even!
An income of five thousand Ghost Coins per time could even tempt stronger killing ghosts or even ghost generals.
For small instances like the Tube Building, it could only be reached occasionally in the first couple of years after the Thrilling Arrival, when the real world knew nothing about it.
"What's this! There'll be plenty of opportunities in the future, don't forget, we had a total of 9 people return this time!" Alexander laughed.
"That's right!" Su Rong's eyes sparkled immediately.
"Thrilling instances, let alone the first time entrants. Even if all the participants are veterans, being able to maintain a 50% survival rate is already astonishing! If other people find out that only one person died in our instance, they will rush in like mad!"
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
Although a ghost master can only open an instance once a month under normal circumstances.
But as long as you're not afraid of losing money, you can ignore the cooldown time for twice the price.
600 Ghost Coins per time, even if there are enough people signing up, most ghost masters are not confident they won't make a loss.
But for an instance modified by Alexander, even if there's only a 10% profit, that's still 1000 Ghost Coins, no pressure at all!
"Master~"
Su Rong looked at Alexander, her eyes like tranquil water almost seeming to melt: "I want you, right now..."
Three hours later, a sore-legged Alexander chose to return home.
Not that he was afraid of startling people, but mainly because Alexander wanted to see the other chosen ones' reactions to the Tube Building instance.
Nine people returning alive, including six rookies, all of whom received decent rewards.
As expected, it must have caused quite a stir in reality.
Sure enough, as Alexander opened his computer and surfed the internet for a while.
The hot search was completely dominated by the Tube Building, ranking first was a video shot by Chuanzi.
This guy, turned out to be a legendary Thrilling Reporter! Responsible for using special ghost entities to film videos for playback in the real world.
The video was short, starting from when she entered the game, her experience was similar to that of another man.
The difference was that the person in the red vest became Cain, and he escaped into the room of Zhao Zipeng next door.
Zhao Zipeng took on Cain's role, and the girl who was with Zhao Zipeng took on her role, pulling her into the bathroom.
In fact, all these were just environments created by Su Rong using ghost powers. Everyone's experiences were roughly the same. Through the ghost entity, everything Chuanzi went through was recorded.
The comments section below immediately blew up:
"Holy! This is too terrifying, what's with the music, the instances even come with a soundtrack?"
"This horrific instance, the lady filming the video is really unfortunate, wonder what happened to her afterward!"
"Do you even have to ask? She definitely got eaten by the ghost, you think they would leave her till the end for the reward? In such an instance, I would never go back, it's too scary!"
"Yeah, my little sister was scared to tears, she'd rather go to those instances with high death rates than this one, she'd be scared to death alive!"
"I, as a lady, swear, even if I were to starve or be eaten by countless fierce ghosts, I will never step foot in this instance, it's too terrifying!"
…
After the video ended, countless people were claiming that this instance was too inhumane, vowing never to enter.
However, the video wasn't over yet, there was one more surprise at the end.
"Congratulations to the official selected, No. DSSI826, you have survived to the end, successfully completing the first-stage task. Instance rating D, final reward, Ghost Coins 10, Ghost Power 1, ghost entity Blood-Stained Candle (evil ghost)."
She lived!
A selected one, entered the thrilling instance of life and death, fainted from fear in the first stage.
She actually lived until the end!
In an instance with ten people, seven rookies, a total of nine people lived until the end!
What's more infuriating is that there's actually a reward!
Though there are only 10 Ghost Coins, and the Blood-Stained Candle is known as the most useless ghost entity in history.
But to be able to survive to the end is already a miracle! Not to mention, there is also a Ghost Power reward.
Ghost Power! The biggest difference between rookies and veterans.
Without Ghost Power, even if you pass the examination, at best, you're just a senior in the eyes of the rookies, you're nothing in the eyes of the true selected ones.
Having Ghost Power, even just a little, means you can drive ghost entities, and you have the ability to kill ghosts.
It signifies that your body will be slowly strengthened, setting foot on the path of transcendence.
And Ghost Power is extremely hard to obtain!
Those with bad luck, experiencing three to five instances without obtaining any Ghost Power, eventually die at the hands of evil ghosts.
On the black market, even the most useless ghost entity that can increase Ghost Power costs over a seven-figure sum in currency.
Its preciousness is beyond description.
A small instance, getting scared unconscious from the start, with only a D rating, still rewarding Ghost Power?
"You guys, check out the trending, the second one! It exploded, this instance is incredibly awesome!"
Suddenly, a number of people began to comment and post video bulletins below. They all said the same thing.
Driven by curiosity, everyone looked at the second trending topic. The post was made by Cain, and it was simple: a title and a screenshot.
My gains from the Cylinder Building Instance!
Rating: 1, Ghost Coins: 500, Ghost Power: 10, Ghost Entity: Ghost Spirit Fruit
Ghost Spirit Fruit (Vengeful Spirit): A ghost fruit carefully cultivated in a graveyard orchard, increases Ghost Power by 20 points after consumption.
Nothing else needs to be said, a single Ghost Spirit Fruit sells for 20 million on the black market!
Ghost Power can't be traded, but its value is also nearly 10 million.
Ghost Coins, with a black market exchange rate of 10000:1, worth 5 million.
Above all, these are priceless!
One instance earned 35 million, as long as you're brave, there's hardly any danger!
The comments section immediately became lively.
Sweet Dew: This is too easy to earn!
Wish There's No Homework in Heaven: This instance is too good, who has the method to enter? I'm seventeen this year, the number of selected increases every year, might as well go in and make a big profit since we're all selected anyway!
Light of the Mist: Officially selected, already registered, hehe! You guys can go be jealous!
...
Looking at the multitude of follow-up posts below seeking the method to enter, Alexander rubbed his nose.
They want money but don't care about their lives! Although the death rate of the Cylinder Building instance isn't high, entering it means becoming a selected one. From then on, they must forcibly enter an instance every month.
Next, Alexander opened the horror forum again.
If ordinary people are so interested, what about the real selected ones?
Sure enough, several posts related to the Cylinder Building were filled with voices of registration.
Although he had no plans to start the next instance right away, Alexander decided to go to the apartment and share this good news with Su Rong.
Having property now, Alexander can return from any location in the real world at any time.
Yes, return! Because having property, him being a ghost master, is now officially considered a member of the ghost realm.
A flash of white light, and in the next moment, Alexander reappeared in the Haunted Apartment 108.
In front of his eyes was a wet, fat figure with eyeballs hanging on its face.
The Rent-Collecting Drowned Ghost, why was he here again, and in the room?
Swoosh!
Upon seeing Alexander appear, those two eyeballs were suddenly dragged back into the eye sockets by the blood vessels, staring fiercely at Alexander, and directly pounced on him!
Could it be that the Haunted Apartment does not allow living beings to own property?
This is troublesome!
