Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

"Transcendent Ghost Artifact—"

"That is a level 7 ghost artifact, only found in S-level dungeons, and only has a 0.1% chance of being obtained if you achieve a 'perfect' level clear. Each one is a top-tier ghost artifact with abilities that transcend the rules."

"But you actually found it in an A-rank dungeon, and it's a revolver?"

"A generous gift of crabs? This is beyond my comprehension."

Inside the Land Rover, Chen Chen, sitting in the passenger seat, struck a pose as if conducting an interview.

"Please answer my question, are you really not Kirishima Yukino's long-lost son?"

Then he quickly began to doubt himself.

"No, Kirishima Yukino is at most an A-rank weirdo. Where would she get a super-limit-level ghost weapon?"

"That doesn't make any sense at all."

Chen Chen fell into deep self-doubt.

Could it be that all the bizarre dungeons in this world have mutated?

"It's normal to not understand; just admire it."

It was a rainy night, and the Land Rover was speeding wildly on the highway. Lu Ye stepped on the gas again, pushing the speed past 200 km/h, with one hand on the steering wheel.

He has no immediate plans to tell anyone about the existence of his eighteen ancestors, the Ghost Emperors of the Lu family.

"Can you tell me the 'over-limit rules' for your revolver?" Chen Chen asked curiously.

Every super-limit-level ghost artifact possesses at least one "super-limit rule," hence the name.

"It's a 100% headshot."

Lu answered casually.

"It's basically that as long as I fire at the target, no matter where he runs, even if he hides in a spatial rift, the bullet will follow and blow his head off."

No matter how far away, no matter how long, once the trigger is pulled, even after a long period of time, the bullet will eventually hit you right between the eyebrows.

That's definitely a bit over the limit.

A moment of silence fell over the car.

"From today onwards, the [Widow of the Wilderness] dungeon will be overrun with players; everyone will be going crazy trying to challenge it."

Chen Chen shook his head and sighed, then took out his phone.

How much should the latest dungeon guide be priced?

"400 million," Lu Ye announced the price he had already decided on.

He originally planned to sell it for the same price as the Ghost Hunter Association, 200 million.

But now that the [Super Limit Ghost Artifact] has appeared, even though it may not be from a bot, Lu Ye immediately doubled his investment.

"No problem, I also think this price is reasonable. I'll have someone spread the word, and then we should be able to make a fortune. We'll split it 20/80."

"Seven-thirds split".

"Brother Lu is so generous!"

Lu was driving, multitasking.

【The Widow of the Wilderness】is an A-level eerie dungeon. Now he has found the right way to open it. After the Ghost Master enters, he can finally find the ghost artifact reward, and the safety has been greatly improved.

It will definitely sell out.

Although he has 400 billion in growth funds in his account, he has no right to use this money; Wu Qing is keeping it safe for him.

So it's not unreasonable to earn some extra pocket money for yourself along the way.

He has already cleared several of the bizarre dungeons recommended by Wu Qing, and now his ability to control ghosts ranges from the lowest D-level to the highest S-level.

Having gone through these bizarre instances, he has indeed grown a lot and laid a more solid foundation.

Next, we'll go to the Mountain Ghost Academy.

Unlike the Ghostly High School, as one of the top ten academies in the Great Xia Dynasty, it goes without saying that it is home to many monstrous talents.

However, Lu Ye remained relaxed.

Because he didn't feel he had to become that strong; he just wanted to have fun and experience life.

He can marry several wives and have children during the process, and once the Lu family has a successor, he can ascend to immortality on the spot.

However, he wouldn't be as unreliable as his ancestors. Before he passed away, he would at least leave some inheritance for his descendants, so that they wouldn't suffer like he did.

"What are you doing, smiling so smugly?"

Lu Ye turned to glance at Chen Chen, who was always looking shifty and clutching his phone.

"The news that you, an S-rank student, are going to the Mountain Ghost Academy has already spread." Chen Chen swiped his phone screen. "There are betting places on the academy forum right now."

"What's the stake?" Lu raised an eyebrow.

"The rules of the Mountain Ghost Academy are that every batch of new students must undergo a special entrance ceremony. Each new student is given a bounty. The senior students of the academy can get the corresponding bounty as long as they defeat you new students. In addition, there are also bets on the academy forum to bet on the probability of each new student being defeated."

"Is that even a thing?" Lu asked curiously. "How much is my bounty?"

"The bounty for a typical B-rank talent is 30, for an A-rank it's 50, and your S-rank... hehe, 200 million!"

Chen Chen grinned.

"So there's a high probability that most of the senior students at the Mountain Ghost Academy will be eyeing you. After all, aside from your ability to control ghosts, your cultivation level is only at the third realm. In their eyes, you're definitely a fat sheep, and everyone wants to make a quick buck."

"That's getting a bit annoying." Lu Ye rubbed his chin. Why are there more and more troubles?

"It's normal. As an S-class, you're bound to attract a lot of attention. You'll get used to it. I went through the same thing back then."

Chen Chen replied casually, his finger already typing a long string of numbers into the Mountain Ghost Academy forum.

"As a loyal dog, I've staked all my pocket money on making sure you don't get beaten up by them. The odds are 1 to 1.8 right now, so please don't let me go bankrupt."

With odds of 1:1.8, the side with the higher odds is naturally betting that the other side will be defeated.

Most people probably think that even if he is an S-rank, he is just a newcomer. He can't unleash his full potential until his cultivation level is high enough, especially since he only got S-rank when he cleared the strange dungeon for the first time.

It's not about picking on the weak; it's about taking advantage of him before he grows up and fleeces him.

However, Lu suddenly remembered something, "You can still place bets on the Mountain Ghost Academy forum?"

The bets at Mountain Ghost Academy should only be open to internal students, right?

"Did I forget to tell you?"

Chen Chen put away his phone, thought for a moment, and then smiled.

"Let me add a little more about myself. I happen to be a formal student of the 21st class of Mountain Ghost Academy, and the captain of the 'Guardians of the Galaxy Team,' which is ranked 18th in the Mountain Ghost Academy team leaderboard. Please excuse my humble appearance."

"Heh, I get it. So that's why you tried to scam me on the way, right?"

Lu Ye, also with a smile on his face, pressed the unlock button to open the car door and kicked Chen Chen out.

Sure enough, this guy came with a purpose.

.........

"Hasn't he arrived yet? All the other freshmen have already arrived."

Before a vast, dense forest, a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe appeared beside Wu Qing, and together they gazed into the distance.

Wu Qing crossed her arms, her face still showing that indifferent attitude towards everyone. "New students are enrolling, and you, the dean, are here to join in the fun?"

"Heh, an S-rank, of course I had to come and take a look."

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded to Wu Qing.

"I have to thank you for this, otherwise Mountain Ghost Academy would have gone three years without any S-class freshmen."

"No need to thank me, he chose it himself," Wu Qing shook her head.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man was surprised for a moment, then his smile widened. "Then it seems you've taken a liking to the excellent school spirit of my Mountain Ghost Academy."

"Heh, excellent?" Wu Qing smirked.

If a group of rebellious youths who don't challenge bizarre dungeons and only enjoy fighting all day can be called excellent, then...

"Being able to fight is what makes them brave, so most of them later preferred to join your military headquarters."

Wu Qing remained noncommittal, but it was true that the majority of the military's annual recruitment of new combat personnel came from the Mountain Ghost Academy.

"What is his bounty for a rookie?"

"Two million, the highest ever."

"Too low."

"Is this low?"

The middle-aged man chuckled, "He obtained an S-level ability to control ghosts on his first clear of the bizarre dungeon, and he has a 200 million bounty on his head. As far as I know, the senior students in the academy have already made him their first target to take down."

"It's his first time visiting the Mountain Spirit Temple, I don't want him to be traumatized," the middle-aged man advised again.

"Psychological trauma? Are you looking down on him, or on me?"

Wu Qing looked like she hadn't listened at all and simply gave him a number.

"Ten million, that's his reward. Whoever wants it can come and take it."

"........." The middle-aged man said, "Is it really necessary to put so much pressure on us and be in such a hurry?"

Wu Qing simply looked ahead calmly and gave the simplest answer: "Time is running out."

Directly ahead, a Land Rover, almost skimming the ground, appeared in our field of vision, covered in dust.

Behind the car was a chubby little boy who was running around, panting heavily.

The Land Rover, like a roaring beast, exhausted its last bit of mechanical energy, drifted to a stop in front of us, and billowing black smoke billowed from under the hood.

It's completely unusable.

Lu Ye opened the car door, jumped out, stretched, and grinned.

"I am coming."

"Tell me, who are you going to take down this time?"
