A blind girl?

Lu Zhixing seemed to be deep in thought.

No wonder her soul was so weak, almost devoid of any aggression.

Based on his current understanding of the "good people" universe, an ordinary person who was in a vulnerable position in life, after death and becoming a ghost, would most likely just be a lonely ghost at the mercy of others.

"Did she say anything else? For example, what are her abilities?" Lu Zhixing continued to press.

This is what he cares about most.

A useless burden will only become a liability to the team.

The directionally challenged man communicated with Ah Xiu in his mind again, and this time it took a little longer.

When he looked up again, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"Yes! She said that although she can't see, her hearing is exceptionally good!"

"She said... she could hear the sounds made by 'unclean' things from very far away, and she could even distinguish their intensity and emotions!"

Holy crap! A human voice? A ghost detector?

[This capability is amazing! It's like carrying a portable early warning radar!]

[Did this person with a terrible sense of direction actually turn misfortune into a blessing? They found a hidden gem!]

The viewers in the live stream also realized what was happening.

In this terrifying world where traps are everywhere and danger lurks at every turn, the value of an auxiliary ability that can warn of danger in advance is immeasurable!

Lu Zhixing's eyes lit up as well.

Identify location by sound, and sense yin energy.

This blind ghost girl named Ah Xiu is indeed a rare and valuable functional support character.

If used properly, their safety during their exploration of Seafog Town will be greatly enhanced.

"Master, what about now..." The directionally challenged man looked at Brother Long in the coffin with a worried expression.

"Solve his problem first."

As Lu Zhixing spoke, he stepped toward the coffin.

The ghost bride immediately raised her head warily, her gaze beneath the red veil turning icy cold once more.

"Don't be nervous." Lu Zhixing stopped three steps away, spread his hands to indicate that he meant no harm. "We're here to rescue him."

As he spoke, he opened the Ghost Coin Shop interface, which was visible to all players.

A virtual light screen appeared in front of everyone.

Lu Zhixing dragged the light screen to the top and pointed to one of the products.

【Yang Qi Candle (Small)】

Price: 200 Ghost Coins

[Effect: After being lit, it slowly restores lost maximum health over 30 minutes and dispels mild Yin energy corruption.]

[Introduction: Feeling completely drained? Grab one and become a real man again!]

Lu Zhixing completely ignored that flirtatious "GG" phrase.

He pointed to the two core effects, "Restore Maximum Health" and "Dispel Yin Qi Corruption," and said to the Ghost Bride.

"We have something that can save him."

The ghost bride couldn't see the shop interface, but she could sense that Lu Zhixing wasn't lying.

Her hostility lessened slightly.

The problem is, we don't have any money.

The experienced driver, standing nearby, quietly poured cold water on the idea.

One sentence froze the atmosphere of hope that had just been ignited.

Yes.

No money.

Let alone 200 ghost coins, they can't even scrape together 20 ghost coins right now.

Those with poor sense of direction and experienced drivers are even more likely to instinctively check their account balance.

The two glaring zeros stung their eyes.

Lu Zhixing also glanced at his balance.

It's also 0.

This is very embarrassing.

The miraculous medicine was right in front of them, but they were penniless paupers.

[Hahaha, even the cult leader has his day! A penny can stump a hero!]

[Quick! Crowdfunding! Let's send gifts to the cult leader in exchange for ghost money!]

[It's no use. The game developers said that ghost money can only be obtained in the game and cannot be exchanged for real-world currency.]

【So what do we do? Just watch Brother Long die?】

Just when everyone was at a loss.

Lying in the coffin, in a semi-comatose state, Brother Long, whether he heard the words "real man" or felt the instinct for survival, actually opened his eyes a crack in a daze.

He saw the [Yang Qi Candle] on the light screen.

I saw that cheesy phrase, "Become a real man again."

An unprecedented longing surged up from the depths of his soul.

He desperately needs this right now!

He felt that if he didn't replenish himself, the next time his wife was "hungry," he wouldn't just be drained dry; he might really be sucked dry!

"Buy...you must...buy..."

He used his last bit of strength to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth.

Then, he raised his hand, trembling, and pointed to the corner of the coffin shop.

There, several unfinished, substandard coffins and a pile of timber were stacked.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, their faces blank.

"You mean... selling coffins?" the veteran driver asked uncertainly, only daring to discuss it in the team chat.

Brother Long shook his head weakly.

He pointed to himself, then to the ghost bride next to him, and finally to the water ghost sister-in-law in the corner who was hugging her knees.

Lu Zhixing instantly understood what he meant.

He's not selling coffins.

He's going to... sell people!

Or rather, selling ghosts!

"You mean, sell her... to an NPC?" Lu Zhixing pointed at the little water ghost girl.

Brother Long nodded weakly.

Holy crap! Brother Long is even selling his sister-in-law to survive?!

[That's ruthless! I've seen people kill their wives to prove their enlightenment, but selling their sister-in-law to get medicine is a first for me!]

[Ghost Bride: ??? You dare sell my sister?!]

[Little girl: Brother-in-law, I'll remember you.]

In the live stream, viewers' values ​​were once again shattered by Brother Long's outrageous actions.

However, Lu Zhixing shook his head.

"No," he rejected the suggestion.

"First, we don't know which NPC will collect ghosts."

"Secondly, she's your wife's sister. If you sell her, your wife will be the first to object."

Upon hearing this, Brother Long's face showed a look of despair.

"However..." Lu Zhixing changed the subject, "your line of thought has reminded me."

He closed the ghost money shop and glanced at everyone in the shop.

Lu Zhixing, an experienced driver, and a hopeless navigator—three living, breathing people.

The Ghost Bride, the Water Ghost Little Girl, the Blind Girl Ah Xiu, and three ghosts.

There's also the coffin shop owner who was so scared that he ran away with the money.

"We don't have ghost money."

"But we can earn it."

At that moment, a brand new announcement popped up on the system interface of all players of "Reincarnation".

[Announcement of the World Update for "Reincarnation": Side Story "The Caged Bird" Officially Released!]

Short of money? Nowhere to go?

Come, this is the home of all wanderers, and the paradise of all gold seekers.

[Completing the level or surviving in the game will reward you with a large amount of universal ghost money.]

[Game Type: Confined Space, Rule-Based Escape, Stealth Exploration.]

Location: Kowloon Walled City

[WARNING: This game features extremely oppressive environments. Players with claustrophobia should proceed with caution!]

Lu Zhixing raised an eyebrow. This "good person" certainly knows when to update.

So, it seems the players have to help the "good guys" improve the game, right?

Meanwhile, a group of players and viewers in the live chat were also discussing the matter.

"Holy crap! The money-farming dungeon is here!"

"A good person has finally shown some compassion! Knowing we're poor, they've given us special treatment!"

"Kowloon Walled City? What's that? Sounds cool!"

"Go look up the history yourself; that place is a paradise by day and hell by night—it's practically a natural horror game map!"

"Escape from a confined space using rules? Sounds even more exciting than a wilderness map!"

"Brothers, what are we waiting for? Let's go! For Brother Long's yang energy candle, for my scapegoat straw man, let's grind!"

Countless ordinary players who were still lingering on the edge of the Village of the Dead and the Town of Sea Mist, discouraged by the high difficulty, seemed to see a new hope.

Without hesitation, they chose to temporarily leave the main world of "Reincarnation" and immediately flocked to the entrance of "Caged Bird".

At that moment, on the Nebula platform, a tech-savvy streamer with the ID "Old E" also entered the game immediately.

His live stream title was simple and direct.

[First hands-on preview of "Caged Bird"—I'm curious to see just how oppressive it is.]
