A dream lasting a thousand years ends with waking up in a modern society where spiritual energy has dried up.
Qin Fu'an had already planned to lie flat and wait for his cultivation to fad...
127 7200 Ghost Coins
A penniless man whose pockets are emptier than his face
Having suddenly become rich and then instantly impoverished, he closed his eyes, took half a second to accept the fact, took all the low-level item balls he had obtained to the locker in the game lobby, sent the password to Bai Song, rubbed his temples, and turned to step into the Nirvana Pool.
When the boy emerged from the Nirvana Pool, his expression was much better than before.
This time, a lot of attribute points are given; a full 40 points can be allocated freely.
Qin Fu'an focused all 20 points on his divine sense.
Opening the player panel, the dense text is dizzying to read.

After glancing at his inventory, Qin Fu'an took out two seeds that he had been ignoring and planted them in the flowerbed.
And yet, this lousy game still charges 1000 Ghost Coins for each expansion slot, and doubles the Ghost Coins for every additional slot. It's practically branding Qin Fu'an with the label of a profiteer.
Having already spent hundreds of thousands, Qin Fu'an didn't care about the three thousand ghost coins for seed expansion slots. With a stern face, he planted the unknown seeds and sunflower seeds, and then converted all the items below the purple level into item balls, preparing to put them in the game lobby's storage area.
Before leaving the player's cabin, he thought for a moment, opened the friend chat box, and sent Xiya his real-life address and contact information so that she could contact him directly if she encountered any problems in real life.
In addition, Qin Fu'an also left Xie Zeyuan the player ID of Xi Ya, briefly described how he found a team leader in the dungeon, and then logged off expressionlessly.
Three seconds later, the person who had just logged off reappeared expressionlessly in front of the flowerbed in the game house.
System 023 sensed something was wrong and hid in the shadows to observe secretly.
Then he discovered that this green-eyed demon, exuding an aura of malice as if he owed him eight million, coldly and carefully took out a... wilted, half-dead blade of grass.
Qin Fu'an spent 4,000 ghost coins to plant this grass, which had always struggled to thrive in the real world, in an expensive flowerbed.
Upon seeing this, a certain line in 023's program lit up with a "ding~".
It darted out quickly, then cautiously and expectantly asked from a safe distance away from Qin Fu'an: "[Darling~ Do you need gardening services? We can't guarantee it will survive, but we guarantee it won't die~]"
Meeting the menacing gaze of those green eyes, 023 bravely finished speaking: "[Honey, if you have the means, you could consider it. After all, while you're away from the game, who knows if your plants will disappear into thin air? Or be stolen by some strange creature? They might even die naturally. But with a gardener to take care of them, I guarantee your flowers won't die even when you're gone.]"
"You do have a lot of potential in sales." Qin Fu'an stared intently at it.
023 spun around triumphantly twice and replied cheerfully, "Of course! Thank you for the compliment, dear. So, what have you decided? Would you like this gardening and maintenance service?"
Qin Fu'an lowered his eyes and stared at the wilted little grass in the flower bed for a few seconds, then sighed helplessly and asked, "How much does it cost?"
023 replied excitedly: [The price is fair and affordable. We charge by the hour, 100 Ghost Coins per hour. For just 2400 Ghost Coins a day, you can give your beloved plants unparalleled, top-tier care. Isn't that a super deal?]
Qin Fu'an: "..."
Seeing that he didn't speak, 023 thought for a moment and continued: "[Of course, our official website has also launched an even more cost-effective monthly promotional package: 68,888 Ghost Coins/month, 2,222,000/quarter, and 8,888,000/year. Doesn't that sound like a great deal? Aren't you particularly tempted by this promotional package price?]"
023: [Don't hesitate, take action now! For the sake of your beloved plants, hurry and order the premium gardener's care package! 8888000]
Qin Fu'an: "..."
Up to 8 million gardeners for maintenance?
Heh, it seems the value of my "senior gardener" title is still rising.
It's just that it can't be used on your own plants.
Qin Fu'an gritted his teeth. He had never felt such intense killing intent when he was surrounded by hundreds of monsters in the previous instance.
Now, a noisy, money-grubbing official system has easily accomplished this with just two sentences.
[Honey, shall we buy it?] 023 leaned in a tiny bit closer and asked in a soft voice.
Qin Fu'an: "...Buy it."
[Okay, would you like to buy a one-day subscription, a one-month subscription, a quarterly subscription, or a one-year subscription?]
"7 days."
[Okay, payment has been successfully deducted. Thank you for contributing to my performance. System 023 is happy to serve you permanently~]
023 has disappeared.
They also took 16,800 of Qin Fu'an's ghost coins.
The infamous demon Tengshe, after dominating the eerie game for so long, has finally returned to square one, becoming a penniless pauper with nothing to his name in order to support his wife.
Current balance: 7200 Ghost Coins.
Qin Fu'an once again logged off without any expression.
Then, he looked at the empty villa and silently exhaled.
Fortunately, he gave the other money-devouring beast to Little Cloud, otherwise his remaining 7200 ghost coins wouldn't even be enough to buy the snacks that Little Phoenix likes to eat.
Qin Fu'an: "..."
Thinking about it this way, suddenly being all alone seems to make me feel even more heartbroken.
The thought had barely crossed his mind for two seconds when a pale, ghostly face suddenly appeared in front of him.
Qin Fu'an frowned slightly as he looked at the bloodstains at the corner of the other person's mouth: "What happened?"
Xie Zeyuan clutched his chest and silently coughed up another mouthful of blood. Then, he collapsed onto the recliner behind him like a boneless man, his eyes lifeless. As a half-dead man, he didn't even have the slightest rise and fall of his chest.
It looks like he's really dead.
[Author's Note]
Anzai: I'm so poor, I desperately need to catch a Taotie.
Taotie: ? ? ? Get lost!
Yunzai: ...
Anzai: Honey, why didn't we kiss today?
Yunzai: (Suppressing a laugh) I'm afraid you're allergic to the word "kiss".
Anzai: QAQ
