Finally, Aransta had to go through a long detour to get a bag of 180 dog food before he could get the same information.
He was terrified even walking along the way, as he was currently unarmed and any random ghost could take his life!
He pretended to be a young man jogging at night and disguised himself as a ghost. Fortunately, none of the other ghosts he encountered along the way attacked him directly like the old man did, so he managed to buy the dog food without any major incident.
After receiving the intelligence, Aransta immediately returned home, not lingering in the night. Having lost his trump card, he had to be cautious and avoid using his talent if possible!
"That old man would attack me, but the other ghosts wouldn't. Are there different kinds of ghosts?"
Jiang Ran continued to move in the darkness. After several hours of exploration, he had gained a slight understanding of the different types of ghosts and successfully broke his own knife.
Actually, the most direct and convenient way to identify a ghost is to look at its "heart," which is the color of that crystal!
Apart from that, their human appearance is not affected. Some healthy young people may have white crystals, while old men and women may have green or blue crystals. This is completely random.
The spirit within the ghost that Jiang Ran has encountered so far is divided into four colors!
First, there are the white and green crystals at the bottom. Both types of ghosts can be easily killed by the blade. Jiang Ran didn't even understand why these ghosts were divided into two categories, because in all aspects, their combat power was really similar.
Above the green ghost is the blue ghost. The blue ghost is undoubtedly a level higher than the two ghosts mentioned earlier, because their bodies are immune to blades. I remember when Jiang Ran slashed at it, his own blade broke instead, so he could only draw his pistol and shoot it to his death.
The spirit within a ghost at the next level is a deep purple color. The biggest difference between them and other ghosts is that they actively hunt other people or ghosts. Another characteristic is that they are extremely ugly!
The Purple Demon's body could withstand two bullets before the third one could finally kill him!
This ghost-slaying is seriously expensive! Three bullets cost a whopping 1500 Nightless Coins! Other ghost storytellers couldn't earn that much even if they sold them!
The big black dog told him to prepare all the ghosts' hearts, but it certainly didn't mean he was supposed to kill all the ghosts in the city. If he were that powerful, why would he need a brain?
So the big black dog probably wants him to collect one of each type of crystal. Jiang Ran already has crystals of four colors: white, blue, green, and purple. He can't guarantee that there are only four types of ghosts, but these four are not a small number. Perhaps he can try to go to the tower in the city center tomorrow!
"Neither knives nor guns are omnipotent."
Recalling the last words left by the big black dog, Jiang Ran couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
So far, even the strongest warrior, the Purple Demon, has been defeated by bullets. Could there be other demons that even guns can't defeat?
Anyway, let's call it a night.
Because we've run out of bullets!
Jiang Ran returned to the entrance of the residential area, first went into the shop to exchange for a batch of Nightless Coins, kept one crystal of each color, and exchanged the rest for money!
White crystals cost 100, green crystals 300, blue crystals 500, and purple crystals 1000. It seems that only killing white and green ghosts can make money because you don't need to use bullets. You'll lose 500 on purple ghosts and blue ghosts too!
Because you can't tell the type of ghost just by looking at its appearance, they usually test the waters with their blades first, and won't pull out their guns right away. So if you encounter a blue ghost, you'll have to bear the loss of 500 yuan for a broken blade.
"Sure enough, making money isn't easy these days!"
The sun shone down, and the second day finally arrived.
Since most of the ghost story writers didn't have enough money to buy weapons last night, they were mostly safe and sound at home, though of course, there were a few fools who couldn't even save their lives at home.
Overall, the survival rate on the first day was ridiculously high, almost unlike an S-class supernatural world.
After all, S-rank refers to the difficulty of clearing the game, and the difficulty of clearing the game and the difficulty of survival are two different things. For example, there was a particularly bizarre SS-rank ghost story world before. Everyone who went in was prepared to die, but after three days, no one cleared the game and no one died. This left the high-ranking officials of various countries speechless.
Getting back to the main point, the other ghost story tellers only had one task for the second day: to make money!
If you have no money, you have no weapons; if you have no weapons, you might as well leave as soon as possible.
You can't earn much money by working yourself to the bone through legitimate means. There are indeed some jobs that are as safe as security guards, but after a day you can't even afford a knife. What's the point of doing that kind of work?
Nightless Coins are a virtual currency, so certain tricks are not applicable. As for how to make money and how much money one can make, that depends entirely on the abilities of the ghost storyteller.
Of course, along with the sun of the next day came four brand new rules.
[Rule Nine: The city lord sometimes patrols the streets. Please try to avoid him and don't let him notice you. If you have already been noticed, please get away from him as soon as possible.]
[Rule 10: If you see a missing person poster with your own photo on it, tear it down without anyone else noticing. If possible, find everyone who has seen the poster and kill them all.]
[Rule Eleven: If you violate city order and are about to be arrested, do everything you can to escape from the police. Do not try to explain anything to them, and definitely do not get caught.]
[Rule Twelve: The city lord is very kind and approachable. If you encounter any danger, you can seek his help.]
In fact, there is another advantage to raiding large-scale dungeons: the things mentioned in the rules may not necessarily happen. All the mystery tale tellers are scattered throughout the city. He might encounter the city lord, but you might not.
Rule Nine and Rule Twelve are undoubtedly contradictory. Regardless of whether the city lord is good or evil, it's best to stay away from him. If you do run into him, you might not be able to escape.
Alright! Let's begin the second day of making money!
Jiang Ran wasn't the only one who reaped the rewards last night; our human observer, Number 54, also did.
Unfortunately, when he handed his research report to his teacher, he was met with a severe scolding!
"What do you mean by saying that humans enjoy riding public transportation and eat feces? What exactly did you observe?"
"I swear to God! What I saw was really like that!"
