A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 27: Strange Talk Puzzle [Crime and Punishment]

Kuster in the tail tip also saw Zhong Xie's selection process. He ran out with a licking face, wanting to show his face in the process of configuring the entries, so that he could have a sense of participation in the custody rights.

He asked, "Are we going to learn [Storm Inhalation]? This entry is indeed good. I remember that some giants on the street had it before."

"Then why don't you learn?" Zhong Xie was puzzled.

Kuster proudly said: "The essence of the liberation form is to absorb a large amount of strange talk power. Miss Black Goat has the highest quality strange talk power. In the past, I didn't need to waste energy to learn this type of entry."

Wow, the gigolo is getting proud. He used to eat too much refined rice, so now he doesn’t want to eat leftovers, right?
"As for this [Whale Fall], I don't think it's necessary." Seeing that Zhong Xie was easy to talk to, Kuster used Huang Lei's style of preaching, "When I have the power of strange talk, I will be the most solid backing and the sharpest spear. When I don't have the power of strange talk, [Whale Fall] can't decompose anything to supply teammates, right?"

"I want you to manage."

Zhong Xie said unhappily that an excellent trainer could always choke a summoned beast to death with just one sentence.

He exited the entry library page. Right now, what he wanted to learn most was [Victory Oriented]. This entry was too buggy when combined with the Giant System.

The only problem is that it is an energy-related item. If you take Kuster to study it, it will basically directly expose Kuster's rule-based attributes, which is something Zhong Xie does not want to happen for the time being.

Similarly, the other three entries that Zhong Xie took a fancy to also had this problem.

[Energy Level Link (Energy System)]: Link to a target within 10 meters and share your own ghost power with it.

This is also a team-based ability. Zhong Xie doesn't mind sharing Kuster's ghost talk power with Zhang Zita's flat man. In the complete form of the giant system, some ghost talk power leaking from his fingers is enough for the energy system ghost talk to use for a long time.

If the tablet man had an entry like "full fire", then turning into a machine gun would not be a dream.

[Ritual Simplification (Rule System)]: Simplify the rules to make them easier to trigger (the specific effect depends on the rules).

[Basic Modification (Rule System)]: Modify some data of a certain entry in the main body (the specific effect depends on the content of the entry.)
The effects of these two rule-based entries are good. The former can make better use of the [Wife's Death] entry, while the latter reflects the unreasonable nature of the rule-based entries and directly modifies the data of other entries.

So Zhong Xie tried to ask the customer service if they could send him a training method. If he wanted to train Kuster, he didn't need any coaching training.

The answer is naturally no. Not to mention that one may go astray in one's own training and produce messy entries, the electronic version alone may easily be circulated and pirated, which will be a big problem.

Secondly, there are two gray bloody entries that look pretty good, namely [Toxic Skin] and [Absorption].

The former makes the skin toxic. The ghost poison is extremely strong and is used to dissolve and destroy the ghost power. Therefore, even undead creatures will die from the poison.

【Absorption】 can convert part of the attack damage that comes into contact into ghost talk power, which can accelerate the release of the form.

Of course, the main effect of this entry is to be able to watch Kuster get beaten. It would be a shame not to use such a huge body as a shield.

Take a look at the black market for entries. You may be able to find the entries you like on the black market.

Search for "no strategy version capsule" in the posts in the Zhongxie Selected Forum and sort them from high to low according to rarity.

[Gold Rhapsody (Energy)]: Draws all the ghost power within a certain range with itself as the center, and releases all the energy attacks released in this battle again within 3 seconds.

Price: 88888 points or golden entry capsule (both parties share the guarantee fee)
The featured page comes up with a golden-entry ghost story capsule, the effect of which is as simple and powerful as its quality. It doubles the output of energy-type ghost stories and greatly improves the burst and finishing capabilities.

When I clicked in to take a look, I found that most of the replies in the post were mocking.

"The treasure of the altar."

"Yo, Nine Turns Rhapsody is here again."

"Whose hands did it fall into this time?"

“The Anonymous Seller.”

Continuing to flip through the pages, Zhong Xie finally understood the origin of this rhapsody.

This is a T1-level Tales Master that brought back a Tales Capsule from a super large Tales event. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a suitable energy-based Tales Master configuration.

In this incident, his brain was severely damaged, his memory was severely impaired, and he died soon after. Therefore, there is no guide for the Ghost Capsule.

The family of the Kwaidanshi sold it, but the buyer died in the capsule projection after trying to complete the game, while the capsule remained intact.

After a while, the capsule appeared again on the black market.

This cycle repeats nine times, so this entry is called "Nine-Turn Rhapsody".

However, even with this, this entry can still be sold. The ghost story masters who can accumulate 88888 points are all gifted and confident.

Scroll down the featured post, there is only one gold entry capsule, and below it are seven silver entries, covering all attributes, and the prices range from 1000 to 6000 points.

These silver entries are truly suitable for trading, so the replies mostly discuss the abilities of the entries. Zhong Xie took a look and scrolled down, his target was still the black entries.

The redemption amount for black entries in the official entry library is 1000 points, but since these are all ghost story capsules without guides, the price is naturally greatly discounted.

The effects of gold and silver entries are very unique and often have no substitutes, so they are expensive, but the black entries are different.

The official entry library may have similar ones. If that doesn't work, you can also look for them in the gray entries. At most, the effect will be slightly worse, but at least it can guarantee safety.

Therefore, the price of the black item capsules that Zhong Xie saw ranged from 80 points to 500 points, and basically none exceeded 300 points unless the effect was very unique.

For example, this entry:

[Black·Easy Mode (Giant System)]: After turning it on, release 10% of the attack once every round, reduce the cooldown period by 95%, optimize the attack interval jamming, and optimize the trajectory speed.

Well, health mode.

In Zhong Xie's mind, an image of an old man strolling around the perimeter of the court, not fighting for the ball or competing for the ball, just catching and shooting, had already emerged.

It is difficult to evaluate this kind of entry. If you say it is weak, it is actually quite strong. If you say it is strong, it feels like the Giant System is being treated as the Energy System. The power and frequency are similar. The only advantage is the ultra-large range attack, but it cannot benefit from many of the Energy System's entry bonuses.

Perhaps this is the reason why it has not been sold until now. Zhong Xie looked at the price drop record. This entry has dropped from 599 points to 300 points. It is estimated that there is still enough room for further decline.

And this thing happens to be very much in line with Zhong Xie's aesthetic.

Combined with [Victory Oriented], it becomes a complete curvature engine. The acceleration is already strong, and now the attack speed is greatly increased. Now Kuster has really become a rat starship.

With his limited money, Zhong Xie could only scroll down according to the price. During this time, he also saw the [Process Simplification] of the Rule System, which was probably an advanced version of [Ritual Simplification]. In the end, his eyes stopped on an entry that was priced at 120 points.

Ghost Story: Crime and Punishment
Recommended level: Level 5 or above

Article: Death certificate
[Black Death Redemption Certificate (Rule System)]: When the main body rules are about to kill another target, you can stop the death effect, randomly seal 3 entries of the target for 10 minutes, and select 1 to store. The storage limit is 3, and the stored entries can be used normally without causing the main body to backfire. Each target is limited to three times.

Seller's note: The ghost story event is a puzzle type, and there are two chances left to trigger it. After entering, be careful to use the ghost story, or you will be discovered. The penalty for failure is to sleep for a week (have someone prepare the nutrient solution in advance, otherwise you will starve to death after sleeping for a week). The puzzle type ghost story event does not require participants to have strong strength, and the main competition is the exploration and use of ghost story information.

Powerful ghost stories can provide a lot of help, but mindless attacking will often lead to violent death. The attackers who do not respect ghost story events will inevitably suffer backlash.

This is the type of ghost story that Zhong Xie likes now. After all, Kuster is a bit rubbish, so he probably has no chance of sweeping the place.

This [Death Redemption Certificate] is quite interesting.

Normally, there is a chance of dropping entries when a strange creature is killed, and the higher the level of the strange creature, the higher the chance of dropping entries, but it will only drop entries of the highest quality.

However, the fights between ghost story agents will not drop entries.

The term "Death Redemption Certificate" made Zhong Xie see the possibility of collecting a huge inheritance.

He who kills and captures at the same time, this is our good widower.

what?
You said that [Death Redemption Certificate] will let the other party off the hook, so what?

Three entries have been sealed, so you can just kill him normally from now on. Besides, the entry [Wife's Death] doesn't say that Kuster can't get married again.

He accidentally killed his wife in his first marriage, but he was not willing to accept that, so he went to the underworld and killed his ghost wife again.

Judging from the description of [Death Redemption Certificate], Kuster will benefit from using the rules to kill the target three times. A total of nine entries can be sealed and three of them can be seized.

After the third marriage, which ex-wife would dare to face the strengthened Kuster?

Kuster had committed domestic violence three times, beating his ex-wife so hard that she screamed in pain. This is a weird story.

However, this only applies to Kuster. This entry is of little use to most rule-based weird stories.

It can only be triggered by killing according to the main rules, which requires that the rules of the ghost story involve "death", and this kind of ghost story is mysterious and rare.

Secondly, the conditions that trigger death are usually very harsh, or the cost is extremely high. In this case, do you still want to let your opponent go?
This is probably why the entry [Death Redemption Certificate] only requires 120 points.

Zhong Xie clicked on the bargaining button, entered his ideal price of 100, and added a sentence: "Brother, let's just give it 100 points. You may not meet a weirdo like me who is so boring and has an instant death rule next time."

Soon he got a reply -

"Okay, let's make friends."

make friends?
For some reason, Zhong Xie felt a little scared when he saw this word, but when he thought of his identity as the ninth one, he immediately straightened his back.

After successfully paying 100 points, he will submit the address to the forum, and the seller will also take the capsule to the local ghost story agency, which will mail it to Zhong Xie. The identity information of both parties will not be exposed during the whole process.

Of course, being exposed doesn’t matter. Zhong Xie is now at the “May Plan” training center in Haicheng. If you have the courage, you can try to come to him.

There are currently only 26 cities in the Eastern Theater, and 22 of them have opened mailing services, all of which are delivered the next day, so Zhong Xie will be able to get the ghost capsule of [Death Redemption Ticket] tomorrow.

After getting satisfactory entries and interesting strange events, Zhong Xie lay down on the bed with a smile on his face and checked Kuster's level.

"Why are you only at level six?" Zhong Xie questioned, "Didn't they say that you can gain a lot of experience by participating in ghost stories? I have already won two ghost stories. Have you worked hard?"

Kuster: “???”

Kuster, who was originally choked by the words "what the hell is it to you", planned to pay attention to Zhong Xie after some time, but now he felt uncomfortable if he didn't respond to this question.

He also said unhappily, "Did I appear in two ghost stories? I didn't do anything except helping that woman get the hammer. By the time I noticed you had already killed all your 'friends'. It's already great that I can level up, okay?"

"To be fair, you didn't do anything wrong at all?" Zhong Xie said indignantly, "If you weren't too weak, would you have no chance to play?"

Kuster was shocked: "But won't I remain weak if I don't play?"

"How can such a weak creature play?" Zhong Xie said righteously, and then he sighed, "Why can't the Pokémon level up when the trainer levels it up?"

So that afternoon, he took some time to let Kuster use up five experience capsules and successfully reached level 11.

In reality, there is no such thing as "higher potential so more time is needed to lay the foundation, resulting in slow upgrades". When a second-tier weirdo like Kuster focuses on upgrading, the upgrade speed will be very fast.

What's more, there are Lin Youlan's experience pack supplies. Normal ghost story users can't use such good things.

After reaching level 11, Kuster will really start to have the confidence to challenge the giant-type monster stories in the four-activation entries. After obtaining the four activations, his strength will soar again.

After all, it used to be the second weird story, but now levels 10 and 20 are just a small matter, and the so-called level threshold is nothing in front of the colorful gold quality.

Zhong Xie estimated that it wouldn't be long before he could pass the school's basic assessment and get the opportunity to explore Wangcheng.

Looking at the city!

Shushu goes home to visit relatives!
Great!
When the time comes, I will bring some local specialties for my roommates. It would be embarrassing to always eat and drink at their expense.

Zhong Xie thought happily and fell asleep with beautiful visions. In his dream, he was lying in the arms of Miss Black Goat, which was like a densely woven hammock. She was gently rocking him with her tentacles and rowing slowly.

In the last scene, a rat-skin boat slowly sails on the blue waves into the setting sun, peaceful and harmonious, and the years are quiet and good.

-

The next day was Monday.

rain.

School hasn’t started yet.

The Ghost Story Capsules have arrived.

No urine.

The mouth is not greedy.

Due to the combination of multiple factors, Zhong Xie, who was lying on the clean bed, felt that he had reached his peak state.

He held the ghost story capsule in his hand, checked the ghost story information inside, and after confirming that it was correct, he opened the capsule with a smile and immersed his consciousness completely in the ghost story event inside.

Single-player puzzle dungeon [Crime and Punishment] is launched!

　I can't figure it out. Others' collections increased by 600 and 300 follow-up readings, but mine increased by 600 collections + 6 follow-up readings, but my collections didn't drop. Do they just add a bookshelf and then ignore it? QAQ Forget it, I'm going to the next dungeon.
