Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 6 Huge Harvest
Looking at the motionless monster in the distance, Yang Xu didn't dare to relax immediately. After the time stop cooling ended again, he slowly approached and hit the wall monster with a few more heavy blows.

During this period, Tu Bi showed no reaction, and it seemed that he was really dead.

Yang Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he relaxed, he felt his legs sore and his whole body exhausted, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

In fact, he did not suffer any substantial damage throughout the battle, but he was overly nervous throughout the whole process, which consumed a lot of mental energy.

Moreover, the activation of time stop also consumes energy, which seems to be a direct consumption of mental power. After using this ability more than ten times in a row, Yang Xu now feels very weak and a strong sense of sleepiness comes over him.

But you can't rest now.

Yang Xu brought up the panel on his retina.

Ever since Tu Bi fell down, he felt the sound of ding-dong reminders ringing in his head.

When the panel opened, the homepage was indeed filled with a series of prompts.

Yang Xu checked them one by one from the beginning.

【You have received a 'mysterious letter'. 】

[You have obtained an 'Unknown Animal Skin Map'. ]

[You fused the Stopper Card, and you gained the cursed 'Time Chaser'...]

……

The first three clues represent the three things he got from the mailbox.

Yang Xu has already used up the Stopper Card, and there are two left.

Yang Xu took out the remaining envelope and animal skin from his pocket.

First, I opened the envelope and found a handwritten letter inside.

"My dear boy from the Hermit family, my name is 'Zhizhe'. By the time you read this letter, I will be dead.

In order to repay the favor of that old woman the Hermit, I not only left the card to you, but I also used the last few months of my life to train you. It makes me feel depressed just thinking about it... In short, from now on, I no longer owe your Hermit family anything. You have inherited my legacy, so don't let my reputation as the Stopper down in the future!

Finally, as the previous user of the Stopper Card, I would like to give you a piece of advice: it is a crime to possess a treasure, hide yourself well, and clean up well————

————No way!
Hahahaha, all those who covet you and disobey you, kill them all, rob them all, let the whole world submit to you, kill, kill, kill, kill..."

There was no serious content after that, just "kill, kill, kill". Even the back of the letter was covered with densely packed "kill" characters. The handwriting became increasingly illegible, and even through the paper, he could clearly feel the writer's overwhelming anger.

"Uh……"

Yang Xu frowned as he read this. This man who called himself "Zhizhe" seemed to be in a very worrying mental state. It was hard to imagine under what circumstances he wrote this letter.

Fortunately, the basic meaning is not difficult to understand. This person is the previous user of the Stopper Card. The 'hermit' he mentioned should be referring to grandma. This person seems to know grandma and owes her a favor. After his death, in order to repay the favor, he left this Stopper Card to him.

That was all the useful content in the letter, and Yang Xu looked at the next piece of animal skin.

There was no writing on the animal skin, only a crude map that appeared to depict a valley with an 'X' marked in one place, and no other signs.

This animal skin is a bit strange, and there is no explanation popping up on the panel, but since it is something that his grandmother left for him, it must be useful.

Yang Xu put away the animal skin and looked at the next one.

The third is the curse obtained after fusing the Stopper Card.

['Time Chaser': Your lifespan has been significantly shortened. When the countdown ends, you will die. Countdown: 30 days, 23 hours, 43 minutes, 50 seconds (Note: Perhaps only a visible countdown can make you understand the preciousness of time)]

This curse had appeared when he had just fused the Stopper Card, but Yang Xu hadn't had time to look closely at it at the time. Now, after taking a closer look at the contents, he felt a chill down his spine.

Lifespan reduced to one month?!
Yang Xu knew that fusing the Stopper Card had a price, but he had never expected the price to be so severe.

It's too late to return the goods now. Moreover, he had no choice in the situation just now. If he didn't fuse the cards, he would most likely die on the spot. He still has at least 30 days left.

"Lifespan should be able to be extended..." Yang Xu felt uneasy.

The good news was that he was now in a supernatural world. A supernatural world meant anything was possible. Even cards that could stop time had appeared, so finding some way to extend his lifespan didn't seem too far-fetched.

Yang Xu comforted himself, put his mind at ease for the time being, and continued to check the log.

Next comes the real gain from this battle.

Administrator No. CKL9527 has completed the Mirror Ghost Hunt for the first time, unlocking the achievement: First Kill. Reward: 1 ordinary plot of land, which can be used to expand around existing territories, or to convert a "mined" plot of land to "unmined."

You killed a Level 5 Tubi, gaining 46 experience points, 5 points, and 1 Tubi Fragment. During combat, if you hit the Mirror Ghost in the same vital area three times within 1 second, you will also gain 1 additional Tubi Fragment.

[If a single player kills a Mirror Ghost at level 3 or higher, they will receive an additional 'Ordinary Plot'*1, which can be expanded around the existing territory.]

You picked up a 'rusty hatchet'.

……

The "plots" of land awarded in the first and third items are easy to understand. Yang Xu's territory now has 9 plots of land, which is in the shape of a nine-square grid. These newly acquired plots of land can be spliced ​​at any position around the nine-square grid to expand his territory.

The focus is on the second one.

He killed the monster just now and was given three types of rewards: experience points, points, and wall-painted fragments.

Yang Xu clicked to view them one by one.

[Experience Points: Can be used to upgrade skins (Currently no skins have been obtained, so they cannot be used for the time being)]

[Points: The universal currency of the Mirror World. Can be exchanged for items in the Points Store or traded with other administrators.]

[Tubi Fragment: A crystal formed from the remaining demonic energy after Tubi's death. After using it, you will temporarily gain the "Hide Wall" skill, entering a stealth state when near a wall, which lasts for 12 hours.]

[Gather ten Tubi fragments to combine into a Tubi.]

[The synthesized Mirror Ghost will become your 'Servant Mirror Ghost'. The Servant Mirror Ghost will accept your orders and fight for you. You will also automatically inherit one of its abilities. Current star rating limit for Servant Mirror Ghosts: 1.]

Of the three rewards, experience points were for something called 'skin', which he didn't have yet.

Points seemed to be a kind of currency for buying things, but we’ll talk about that later. The first thing Yang Xu noticed was the description of the fragment.

"Can you also control the mirror ghost?" Yang Xu was surprised.

According to the description, the mirror ghost synthesized from the fragments should become a pet-like thing, completely obeying the orders of the owner, and the owner can also share one of the pet's abilities.

Think about the Tu Bi just now. He was tough and had high attack power. He also had the ability to hide in walls and create walls to block the way. If he hadn't stopped sometimes, ten of him combined wouldn't be able to defeat him.

If he could synthesize a Tu Bi and use it for his own purposes, then when he encounters other monsters in the future, it would be much easier to fight them by cooperating with the Mirror Ghost!
Moreover, judging from the second half of the description, normally killing a mirror ghost should drop one fragment, but because he completed the hidden condition of 'hitting the same vital point three times in a row within 1 second', he dropped an extra fragment.

'Continuously attack vital points within 1 second', this might be difficult for other administrators, but for Yang Xu, completing this task during the time stop is like a piece of cake, because the five seconds of time stop are not counted at all!

In other words, he will be able to stably produce two fragments in every battle from now on.

Others usually need to kill 10 monsters to synthesize a mirror ghost, but he only needs five times.
