Excessive ferocity due to caution

Returning to the guild headquarters, Zhao Yi felt quite emotional.

It feels like a long time has passed.

Several players from the guild headquarters returned with him, and Bai Shuiji was among them.

She was so excited that she trembled all over, and tears streamed down her face.

The other guild members weren't much better off.

Clearly, they had just encountered a crisis in the secret realm that made them feel hopeless!

But we've finally made it back here!

[Congratulations to players Zhao Yi, Qin Yue, Bai Shuiji, and others for completing the Secret Realm Trial and receiving 60,000 points + a Destiny Chest (Green).]

This news was circulated throughout the entire guild.

The few surviving members were ecstatic!

Not only did they gain a lot of experience and some items from the secret realm, but more importantly, they obtained 60,000 points and a green Destiny Chest!

After returning those points to the guild, they even had 1 points left over!

You should know that the green Destiny Chest has a chance to contain blue or even purple items!

This is like turning a bicycle into a motorcycle!

In an instant, he became a winner in life!

Back in his room, Zhao began to tidy up his finds:

First, there's the points.

His points have reached 76700, enough to buy many fragments of "Lunyu".

However, what Zhao Yi found strange was that, perhaps because "Lunyu" was now a white-level skill, after equipping it, Zhao Yi did not feel any effect from "Lunyu".

He asked the system, and the system responded:

The fragments of "Lunyu" are white-colored cultivation techniques. They are merely precursors to "The Analects" and offer little benefit to cultivation. Players need to collect all the fragments to synthesize the red-colored "The Analects" cultivation technique.

Zhao Yi seemed to be deep in thought.

So he bought 14 fragments of "Lunyu" in one go.

My wallet was empty in no time.

6700 points remaining.

Letting out a breath, Zhao Yi turned his attention to the Great World Quest.

...

[World Mission: Airport Construction]

Recommended level: 6 and above

[Number of Recommendations: Any]

[Mission Rewards: The new map 'Evil Mountain' will be unlocked, and points will be awarded based on contribution.]

[Synopsis: You've finally established yourself in Valley Hanging Town through your own efforts and secured a stable job. However, through conversations with your demonic colleagues, you learn that Valley Hanging Town doesn't actually have a road connecting it to the outside world. All you have is an unfinished airport and a plane that hasn't taken off in years… Wanting to continue exploring the outside world and find other companions, the plane is your only hope. Ultimately, you're forced to help build Valley Hanging Town's airport, but unexpectedly, this leads to various dangerous troubles…]

...

"Build an airport...?"

"It seems like a pretty big project."

"There should have been an engineering team to begin with... The players are just helping to find some special materials or supplies."

A thought flashed through Zhao Yi's mind.

You can go and find out what's going on at the airport, and then decide whether or not to do this main quest based on the situation.

Zhao Yi dared to take on these tasks because, although his level was not high, his strength value far exceeded that of players of the same level.

Although Zhao Yi is currently only level 6, his strength has reached 83 points!

With the title "Ghost's Bane," along with his soul weapon and other items, Zhao Yi has a unique advantage when facing ghosts.

After taking out his ID card, Zhao Yi took the D19 train to Guxuan Town and first went to work at the Fruit Hospital for a day.

NPCs do not have high attendance requirements for players.

For example, at the Fruit Hospital, Zhao Yi only needs to go to work three days a month to be considered to have successfully clocked in.

Of course, the successful clock-in here only means that Zhao Yi can keep his job.

Working only three days a month, Zhao Yi wouldn't get a single penny.

Ghost money is a very important currency in the Chaotic Realm, and it is equally important to players, but Zhao Yi now owns 20% of the Clown Chess and Card Room, so he is not worried at all.

The 20% stake can provide Zhao Yi with a monthly income that will far exceed his salary!

When it was time to leave work, Zhao Yi locked his office, whistled as he walked out of the hospital, and took bus number 433 to the airport.

The scenery slowly receded along the car window.

Although there is no sun in this world, it doesn't stop Zhao Yi from appreciating its beauty.

In particular, the reflection in the car window showed a 36D-breasted female ghost standing behind him, facing the same direction as him.

She knew he was watching her.

He also knew that she knew he was watching her.

But he was still watching.

It's impossible not to watch it.

Upon arriving at the airport, as soon as Zhao Yi got out of the car, the 36D female ghost slipped him a small note and gave him a flirtatious wink.

Good heavens, those fiery red lips were absolutely stunning, with a captivating allure!

She's really good-looking.

Unfortunately... Zhao Yi's interest in women is really limited.

After getting out of the car, he threw the note with the female ghost's phone number into the trash can.

The airport is just ahead.

Zhao Yi glanced at it and exclaimed, "Wow!"

If it weren't for the four large characters "Guxuan Airport" clearly written on the bus stop sign, even a teenager with a wildly imaginative mind like Zhao Yi would never have guessed that such a large expanse of dilapidated, unfinished wasteland was an airport.

And the most serious problem is... we didn't see any planes.

These bastards, are they going to dismantle the plane?

About a hundred construction workers dressed in work clothes sat beside the scaffolding in the wasteland, drinking beer and bragging.

After Zhao Yi arrived, he asked them about the airport and learned that the project manager in charge of the airport construction had absconded.

The steel they needed was supplied by a steel processing plant 20 miles outside Guxuan Town, but for some reason, that steel processing plant suddenly stopped supplying steel some time ago. Some of their coworkers went to inquire, but they received no response...

"That place... is a cursed factory..."

An older worker was muttering incoherently.

"A terrifying, unknown force has emerged within. Those infected will rust all over their bodies like machines, eventually becoming a part of 'it'..."

PS:

One filler chapter today. (Partial filler)

I need to work on the outline for the next story tomorrow morning; I really can't keep going without one.

There are still several side quests to progress on.

I'll start with 4000 words today.

Great!

Go to sleep!

Goodnight, brothers and sisters!
