With nothing to do, Song Zhong continued typing away at his keyboard at home. Oh, by the way, his online name is "Eternal Sword Immortal".
"In my opinion, Jiang Ran doesn't dare to challenge this month's S-level ghost story world at all. He will definitely choose a B-level ghost story world as a transition, just like Weipus from the Northern Alliance. Sigh, after all, he is a lucky dog. It is expected that he would make such a choice."
Satisfied with posting, Song Zhong was about to go downstairs to buy a cup of instant noodles when he heard a knock on the door.
Who is it?
"Are you Mr. Eternal Sword Immortal? We are from the Dragon Kingdom's Ghost Story Masters Association. We recently saw your insightful opinions online, and after unanimous decision by our seniors, we believe you are a rare talent and have decided to directly recruit you as a glorious ghost story master!"
Song Zhong was completely dumbfounded. Was he kidding?! He was just joking; who would have thought they'd actually call him over!
Fortunately, the Dragon Kingdom prohibits any force from forcing people to become dangerous professions like ghost storytellers. He was about to refuse when he saw rows and rows of live streaming cameras set up behind him!
"Hello everyone! This is Mingyue. I'm currently at the doorstep of the Eternal Sword Immortal. Since this amazing person says he can take on me, let's see if he'll accept the association's invitation!"
"Is this the Eternal Keyboard Immortal? Wait a minute! I remember this guy posted a selfie and wasn't he a 1.8-meter-tall hunk? How come he's as fat as a pig?"
"No matter what, official organizations wouldn't choose the wrong person, right? Tsk tsk, be careful when you're online!"
Song Zhong's face darkened. He could already imagine the storm he would face online after refusing. The key issue was that his identity had already been exposed. What would happen if he encountered the real person in person?
"Is the sir afraid? It's alright, just refuse boldly. After all, the Ghost Storytellers Association doesn't accept cowards!"
The visitor was the vice president of the local ghost story writers' association. He had no liking for the person in front of him and found the conversation disgusting. If it was just about talking nonsense online, he could have done it too many times. But the key was that this guy posted day and night and was almost becoming an object of worship on the outside world!
Such a terrible social impact is like rubbing their faces in the dirt. They work themselves to the bone and risk their lives to make a living, and this is the kind of evaluation they get?
Some people are just bored and have nothing better to do; they need to be taught a lesson!
"I...I agree!"
Song Zhong had made up his mind. He would just go and visit the D-level ghost stories world every month. Anyway, the danger of these worlds was almost zero. It was just a competition of who could clear the game first. Making some extra money seemed pretty good.
Thinking this way, Song Zhong seemed to realize that being a ghost storyteller wasn't so scary after all!
"That's wonderful, sir. Please get in the car. We'll take you to the portal connecting the Ghost Stories World now."
"Wait, wait, wait! We're going straight into the world on the first day?"
"Otherwise what?" The vice president smiled faintly. "What, are you scared? Don't worry, we will choose a ghost story world for you based on your strength."
"Who...who said I'm scared! Fine, let's go!"
Upon hearing the vice president say that the choice of which supernatural world to choose based on his abilities, Song Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and even shouted at the live stream camera!
"I told you, I can do it myself! Just you wait and see!"
Hmph, if I beat the game, I'm awesome; if I don't, it's just bad luck. Either way, I'm in the right. I can't possibly die in there, can I?
Song Zhong first went to the association to obtain a professional ghost story teller's identity certificate. The staff clicked their tongues twice while looking at his ID card.
"Song Zhong? He lives up to his name, he truly lives up to his name!"
Song Zhong's face turned red with anger, and he pointed his finger at the staff member in front of him, yelling, "How the hell are you swearing at people like that?"
"Hey, you sir, I just repeated your name. Is your name an insult?"
"Hmph! Once I become a master of ghost stories, you'll be the first one I deal with!"
After Song Zhong left, the staff member sneered disdainfully. Some people just watch too many live streams and always judge others from a God's-eye view. They really need to go and experience it for themselves... Heh, we'll see soon enough!
"I hope you don't die too soon, so I can laugh a little longer."
With a nervous heart, Song Zhong activated the teleportation. The vice president patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay. Jiang Ran is also entering the same world as you this time. If you two are lucky enough to meet, he might be able to 'take care' of you."
Did Jiang Ran enter the same world as him?
Song Zhong suddenly sensed something was wrong. Jiang Ran had an SS-level talent. Even if he wanted to relax in another world, there was absolutely no way he could reach the D-level!
"Wait, wait, wait! What level is this world exactly?"
"S-rank! I remember Mr. Song, you've said many times that anyone with hands can do it. Don't worry, we never let talent go to waste!"
"Then who is my observer?!"
"Don't worry, we've assigned you the most professional observers, Commander Lin Changqing. You don't need to worry about that!"
"But isn't he Jiang Ran's observer?"
"It's okay, you have to trust your Uncle Lin. He can definitely multitask. Of course, it's normal if something goes wrong, so don't worry about it."
"Let me go back! Let me go back! I'll die! I'll really die!"
[Jiang Ran, a ghost storyteller from the Dragon Kingdom, has successfully connected to the S-level ghost story world, City of Night Ghosts, but has not yet cleared it. There have been 0 ghost storytellers who have challenged it before.]
[Song Zhong, a ghost storyteller from the Dragon Kingdom, has successfully connected to the S-level ghost story world, City of Night Ghosts, but has not yet cleared it. There has been one other ghost storyteller who has challenged it before.]
[This Ghost Story World is a team-based instance. The timelines of the Ghost Storytellers are not independent. Once all members are gathered, the world will begin, and you cannot enter again afterward.]
Current number of participants: 2 out of 30
Jiang Ran stretched and yawned. He heard that Weipus had gone off to fight in a B-level world. Sigh, what a waste. He was thinking about whether they could cooperate again.
Another raid instance, huh? So, does that mean he still has a chance to run into that unlucky guy?
The Dragon Kingdom's live stream room was instantly flooded with netizens, but many netizens were surprised to find that the Dragon Kingdom actually had two live stream rooms in this world!
"Song Zhong? Who's that? I've never heard of him before!"
"Wait, why is he choosing a talent?"
There's only one situation where you can choose a talent at the start of a ghost story world: it's the first ghost story world a ghost story master enters!
Those three gray talent cards also prove this point.
"Are you kidding me? A D-rank talent challenging an S-rank supernatural world? If you're looking to die, I suggest you jump off a building; it'll be faster."
Even some S-rank ghost story masters wouldn't dare challenge an S-rank ghost story world, so how could a newcomer like him dare? Are the new generation of Chinese ghost story masters this powerful?
