Chapter 167 Main Quest 5: Complete the apartment gym, collect potions and prepare...
Zhou Fangdong went up to the sixth floor and while waiting for it to get dark, he browsed the system page to pass the time.
When he scrolled to the favorability rating screen, his finger paused for a moment.
...By the way, the favorability rating of the twins, Da Song and Xiao Song, has reached 80. Let's take a look at their favorability reward.
Since the Bureau of Supervision became an absolutely friendly force, the rewards given by the system have also been upgraded.
Therefore, although both of them are low-level tenants, the favorability rewards should no longer be the same as the previous low-level tenant rewards, which were all fashionable junk items.
I hope you can provide a more useful tool.
The reward for [Low-Level Tenant - Sunny and Cheerful Sports Student] is a one-time use item. [Ghostly Promotional Item - Physical Education Teacher Recruitment Ad]
The reward from [Junior Tenant/Trendy Magazine Model] is a [Gym Renovation Kit] and [Liwan Apartment Gym Renovation Blueprints].
"System, can this gym blueprint and gym renovation kit be used directly in apartment rooms? Like converting room 104 into a convenience store?"
Yes, it can be used directly.
There's only one room left on the third floor that's not rented out, so let's just convert this room into a gym. That way, we can complete main quest 5 directly.
Zhou Fangdong directly used the [Gym Blueprints] and [Gym Renovation Kit] on room 309.
[Room 309 has been successfully renovated. The ghost in Room 309 has been detected to have a very high compatibility with the gym, so it has been automatically hired as a gym instructor at Liwan Apartments.]
[The gym at Liwan Apartments has officially opened, open 24 hours a day, and free for apartment residents and even ghosts. Private training sessions are also free, but advance booking is required.]
[Note: If a tenant has booked a personal training session at the gym but fails to show up at the scheduled time, the fitness instructor has the right to enter the tenant's room and force the tenant to go to the gym to work out.]
[All rooms on the 3rd floor have been rented out. Main quest 5 is complete. Please claim your main quest reward promptly.]
Zhou Fangdong opened the floor plan and first checked the current condition of room 309.
The room's decor has been transformed into an industrial style, with cool white fluorescent lights shining through a steel-framed ceiling. It's fully equipped with various fitness equipment for both cardio and weight training, and at the far end of the room are private training rooms, changing rooms, and showers.
Inside the room was a muscular man, shirtless and wearing only athletic shorts, walking back and forth among the exercise equipment as if surveying his territory.
The man stood under a bright fluorescent light, and even in pixelated form, the muscle lines of his body were still clearly visible—because without the restraint of skin, every inch of his muscle fibers were exposed to the air, like an anatomical diagram copied into reality, or a walking medical mannequin.
...Well, judging from the fullness of his muscles, he's really suited for the job of a fitness instructor.
"System, can I use that eerie advertising prop for recruiting physical education teachers directly on the abandoned elementary school?"
Yes, using this item guarantees you'll hire at least one physical education teacher. Whether the teacher is human or ghost, the system will cover their salary.
[Note: Taking PE class will also reduce the kids' resentment levels.]
It doesn't cost any money and can reduce the resentment of the little devils... Zhou Fangdong didn't hesitate any longer and directly used that physical education teacher recruitment form on the haunted school.
After doing all this, he opened the quest panel and checked the rewards for main quest 5.
Main Quest 5 Completed, Reward ① [Apartment Surrounding Facility Building Components - Hospital Door]
Item Description: This item can connect gates in different areas simultaneously, making it an essential tool for expanding the hospital's customer base.
Instructions for use: Install this door at the hospital entrance, and patients will no longer be limited to the hospital's area. Patients from other areas or cities, if they have a strong desire to enter the hospital, could open any door that leads to the hospital.
Zhou Fangdong was originally worried about the slowdown in the growth of Liwan Hospital's reputation, but now that he has this door, he no longer has to worry.
When Zhou Fangdong was training ghost tenants to look through the reputation inventory, he noticed the hospital's problem.
If Liwan Hospital were at full capacity, the rate at which it accumulates reputation should be comparable to that of the City God Temple. However, on average over the past few days, the hospital has only given a little over a hundred reputation points per day, less than half of what the City God Temple gives.
The decrease in hospital reputation and the decrease in reputation from selling [lamp oil pendants] are due to the same reason.
Because Liwan Hospital is located in the city center, and there are basically no ghosts in the city now, the patients who enter the hospital to treat paranormal injuries are basically investigators who know about it, not ordinary people, so the reputation growth rate is slow.
To increase his reputation selling [lamp oil pendants], Zhou Fangdong only needs to filter the sales area when selling the next batch of pendants, prioritizing sales to buyers in suburban areas.
But improving the hospital's reputation is somewhat difficult.
Because the hospital's reputation is primarily gained by treating patients, and the hospital building cannot be moved, there are no patients in the city center, and the hospital's location is too far from the suburbs. Even if ordinary people living in the suburbs suffer from paranormal harm, they cannot reach the hospital in time.
But now that we have this door, things are much better. Patients from the suburbs who want to come to the hospital for treatment can simply push open any door and come anytime.
After installing the door, Zhou Fangdong continued to check the rewards for other main quests.
[Main Quest Reward ②: [Delicious Processing Plant Modification Blueprint - Statue Production Line]]
Item Description: This item will directly add a statue production line. There is no countdown timer. Once the production line is built, a corpse worker will be given away for free.
Not long ago, I finished talking to the system about transforming the delicious slaughterhouse, and the system directly gifted me a production line. System, my good brother, you're so thoughtful.
The reward for the final main quest is a special item...
After seeing the name and effect of the prop, Zhou Fangdong was stunned.
This item is called [Infinite Flow Player Storage Space].
The prop was a small cloth bag, somewhat like the bag Hou San used to store furniture. However, the one the system gave him looked more exquisite... The bag's fabric was yellow, and it had many delicate embroidered patterns on it.
Zhou Fangdong thought the bag the system gave him was a collection of storage spaces for all the infinite players, filled with all the stuff the system had taken from the main god, storing all the players' supernatural items and the like.
Unexpectedly, this was not a storage space for props, but a storage space for people.
Item Description: A bag that can store players in an infinite flow of gameplay, with a maximum capacity of 50 human players.
This item automatically recognizes the player's morality value. If the player's morality value is too high, the item will be put into the bag and corroded into pus.
After reading the prop's instructions, Zhou Fangdong breathed a sigh of relief.
When he first saw the item names, he thought the system had been possessed by something and was suddenly being so generous, giving him so many items.
It turns out that this item called [Infinite Flow Player Storage Space] is not a player's storage space, but a space for storing players.
It seems the system knew he was going to cause trouble in the main god instance and prepared a packing bag for him in advance.
He had originally been wondering how to bring the players back from the dungeon while destroying it. Now, with the system's support, he could simply pack up the players and take them with him after destroying the dungeon.
Zhou Fangdong took the bag out.
He originally intended to put it in his inventory, but found that the player's storage bag, like the machete, could not be put into the inventory either.
Fortunately, the bag was very small, only about the size of a palm, and Zhou Fangdong's work clothes pockets were deep enough to fit the prop directly into them.
After claiming the reward and closing the task panel, Zhou Fangdong noticed that the collapsed area in the corridor on the 6th floor had appeared, but it was still blurry and not particularly obvious.
Perhaps because it's just getting dark, we'll have to wait a little longer.
So Zhou Fangdong opened the business page of Liwan Hospital.
He hadn't collected the blueprints that had fallen off during the hospital treatment these past few days, so he figured he might as well take this opportunity to do so.
Zhou Fangdong zoomed in on the hospital floor plan and started checking each ward from the 6th floor.
[Obtained the recipe for an intermediate curse removal potion]
[Obtained advanced curse removal potion recipe]
[Obtained scar removal formula]
[Obtained the recipe for an advanced spirit restoration potion]
[Obtained the formula for a baldness treatment]
[The formula for the Fat Buster Potion has been obtained]
[Obtained the recipe for a potion to attract vengeful spirits]
[Obtained the acne-removing medicine recipe]
Zhou Fangdong: ...?
What on earth are all these medicines?
Treatment for baldness, weight loss, beauty treatments... what does all this have to do with paranormal events?
Is the system already considering the hospital's revenue after the city stops experiencing paranormal events? That's way too far ahead.
Although it seems useless, the formula has already been released, so let's put it on the shelves in the hospital's pharmacy.
...No, the recipe for the potion that attracts vengeful ghosts cannot be listed.
Zhou Fangdong urgently removed another medicine from the shelves.
The effect of this ghost-attracting potion is likely similar to that of Yin Xi's blood.
This kind of thing must not be left out in the open, lest it fall into the hands of malicious people and attract ghosts to the city.
After collecting the potion formulas, the collapsed area in the corridor was fully exposed.
Zhou Fangdong closed the system panel, created a repairman, and placed it in the 6th-floor corridor. Then he took out a kerosene lamp and walked up the stairs to the 7th floor.
The wick of the kerosene lamp trembled slightly inside the glass shade, emitting a warm yellow light. In the flickering light and shadow, darkness receded, and all evil spirits were warded off.
Zhou Fangdong walked slowly down the corridor. The dim light swept across the twisted gaps in the corridor, which resembled misaligned puzzle pieces. The dark voids hidden deep within the collapsed area appeared even more profound under the light of the kerosene lamp.
When the light swept across a certain collapsed area, it was no longer an endless dark void, but instead revealed scenes from the outside world.
On one side of the crack is a dark and deep corridor, while on the other side is a warm and sun-drenched outdoor space... Two completely different worlds are forcibly stitched together on either side of a crack.
Within the crevice lies a sun-drenched tropical region, where sunlight filters through the towering, dense trees, casting dappled patterns on the moss-covered stone path. Looking down the path into the depths of the dense forest, one can vaguely discern many enormous sculptures.
They are all carved from white stone. Over the years, the wind and rain have eroded the statues, leaving water stains on the originally white sculptures, like streaks of dark blood.
At first glance, the statues resembled traditional Buddha images, but upon closer inspection, their expressions were extremely eerie—a half-smile playing on their lips, empty white eyes without pupils, and the black streaks of water running down their foreheads and eyes gave them a chilling, sinister aura. These statues made the stone path leading to the Buddha statues look less like a pilgrimage route and more like a road to the underworld.
Found it.
Zhou Fangdong picked up a lantern and stepped into the collapsed crack.
