Chapter 321 Side Quest - Rebirth Fruit
The blood moon emitted an eerie light, illuminating the entire ghost realm in a dreamlike and ethereal way, yet it also carried a hint of sinister atmosphere.
The clamoring voice actually came from a black, ball-shaped thing.
It was being held in the hand of a woman dressed in white; the dark mass stood out starkly against her pale skin.
The body was twisting and turning, trying to break free from the woman's grasp.
Not only the black ball of a cat, but even the woman in the white dress looked extremely abnormal.
Not only was it extremely thin, but it also seemed to float above the ground, its feet barely touching the ground, and its pair of scarlet eyes staring straight at the black ball of flesh.
But when he saw Gu Xinyan and the others, his head seemed to rust, and he turned around in a daze, his scarlet eyes instantly meeting Gu Xinyan and the others' gaze.
The scene was incredibly terrifying. Considering where they were—the ghost realm? If nothing unexpected happened, this woman was undoubtedly a female ghost!
To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a female ghost in all these dimensions, but you can tell just by looking at her malicious eyes.
This female ghost was not only unfriendly to that black ball of flesh, but also to them.
Add to that the cold winds that occasionally blew around, and the female ghost whose feet never touched the ground, and it all looked like a scene from a horror movie.
The female ghost seemed to sense their emotional fluctuations; her pale lips curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.
He's fine when he's not smiling, but once he does, the atmosphere is so intense that it sends chills down the spines of the others, a coldness shooting straight from their feet to their heads.
"I must say, this female ghost is quite frightening."
Zhang Junyang muttered to himself, this was the first time he had ever seen a ghost, and he never expected that such a bombshell would hit him right away.
This female ghost doesn't look like a good ghost at all, and her mental state doesn't seem to be very good either.
"I wonder if all the ghosts here are like this. If they are, then we're not here to do business, we're here to fight monsters!" Li Chendong couldn't help but nod and sigh.
Upon hearing this, the others present nodded in agreement. If all the other ghosts were like this, then they really wouldn't need to do business with them, since the female ghost's eyes were truly full of malice.
"Host, you can rest assured, not all ghosts in the ghost realm are like this female ghost. It's just that we're not in the city right now."
Outside the city, there are many evil spirits. The one we encountered was a female evil spirit. Also, the ghost realm is divided into ten domains, and we are currently on the outermost edge of the tenth domain, which is also the place that evil spirits like to stay.
Our mission this time is to run a shop in the Ghost Realm for two months, but we've triggered a side quest.
If you can trade for 10 Rebirth Fruits, the reward for this mission will not only increase by one tier, but there will also be other surprise rewards.
Even if we don't complete this side quest, it's okay; the rewards will still be issued as originally promised.
Hearing the group talking about the female ghost outside, Xiao Bai couldn't help but speak up.
I hadn't even had a chance to explain the mission yet when I was drawn out by the noise outside.
I took advantage of that brief moment to check it several times before I was pleasantly surprised.
Unexpectedly, they triggered a side quest this time. If they could complete it, the rewards would be plentiful, with additional surprise rewards and, most importantly, compensation from the main system.
The Rebirth Fruit is not well documented in the system; it is only mentioned that one Rebirth Fruit is produced only once every hundred years, making it extremely rare.
This side quest requires them to trade for 10 Rebirth Fruits. Each fruit grants a lifespan of 100 years, so 10 fruits would grant 1000 years. Such rare fruits must have extraordinary effects.
Therefore, it's uncertain whether there are even 10 Rebirth Fruits in the Ghost Realm. Thinking of this, Xiao Bai continued to explain to the group:
[Host, Xiaobai just looked up information about the Rebirth Fruit, but there are no additional records in the system.]
It was only mentioned that this Rebirth Fruit only bears one fruit every hundred years, so... Little White doesn't know if there are currently 10 of them in the Ghost Realm!
Xiao Bai's words brought Gu Xinyan and the others back to their senses from their previous joy.
No wonder this side quest can be completed or not; it turns out the main system doesn't know if there are that many Rebirth Fruits here!
The fruit only ripens once every hundred years, so it's easy to imagine how precious it is. Collecting ten of them would be incredibly difficult; it's estimated that even the entire Ghost Realm might not be able to gather that many.
"Forget it, it would be best if we could collect them all, but if we can't, it's okay, we still have extra compensation from the main system."
This mission is a sure win, but Xiaobai, why didn't we teleport directly to the city instead of ending up in this wilderness?
After hearing how rare the Rebirth Fruit was, Gu Xinyan didn't have much hope.
But we still have to keep looking. If we get incredibly lucky and manage to find them all, the reward will more than double.
"Yeah! Why didn't we teleport directly into the city?" Gu Xinya asked, somewhat puzzled.
The four people beside Lu Yunting nodded in agreement with what the two said, and they were also curious as to why they had come to the wilderness instead of going directly into the city.
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai quickly spoke up to explain:
[Host, the Ghost Realm has ten domains, each located in a different place. If you wish to travel to another domain, you must use a teleportation array.]
Because it didn't know which domain the hosts wanted to go to, Xiaobai landed directly outside the city of Rebirth City in the Tenth Domain.
The Rebirth City in these ten realms is also the place where newly born ghosts reside. Although this ghost realm is not the only one among the myriad planes, it still governs the ghosts of many planes.
It's a pity, Xiaobai just checked, and the ghosts on our Blue Star aren't within the scope of this ghost realm's business; it's probably handled by other ghost realms.
Gu Xinyan and the others: "........."
This Xiaobai is like a mind reader! He knows exactly what they want to know and has already researched it beforehand.
Although this place doesn't govern the ghosts of their Blue Star, they are still very interested in this ghost realm.
I never expected this place to be so big, divided into ten areas, and each area is not connected to the others. You have to use some kind of teleportation array to go to other areas.
