Chapter 8 - Task Completed! The Powerful Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine!



Chapter 8: Task Completed! The Powerful Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine!

One hour later, Lin Yu was comfortably seated behind the counter, while Xiao Li sat on a stool at the entrance, holding a large wooden sign reading “Today’s All-Purchases Free of Charge.”

Inside the Yellow Springs Inn, it was now rare to see every seat occupied!

As it turns out, nothing attracts attention quite like “free”!

Each of the five or six tables was loaded with sumptuous dishes: hands, eyeballs, fresh hearts, blood rich in Yin energy…

The guests were all peculiar in appearance — headless, with long tongues, faces dark and blue, or black smoke streaming from their facial orifices…

But regardless of the type of ghost, they all looked upon Lin Yu behind the counter with utmost respect!

“This young master Lin of the Yellow Springs Inn really is generous!”

“Indeed, I wonder which Ghost King chose him as their representative…”

“Hush… it’s possible Young Master Lin is the Ghost King himself…”

“Did you notice? These copper coins have not only pure Yin energy but are all brand new…”

“Any news on this Young Master Lin’s marital status?”

“What, you want to arrange a ghost marriage with him?”

Listening to the chatter among the ghosts, Lin Yu paid it no mind.

Sitting behind the counter with the account manager ghost running orders and delivering dishes, he only needed to pay for things.

Although none of them ate as much as the first fat ghost, in total, it was enough for Lin Yu to complete “Task One”!

【Task Content: Accumulate expenditures exceeding 100,000 (100,000/100,000)】

【Ding! Congratulations, Host! Task One, “First Purchase,” completed!!!】

【Reward: Cashback Critical Card *1, Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine *10 issued!】

【New Task Unlocked!】

【Task Two: Spend Like a King! (Incomplete)】

【Task Content: Spend over 30,000 in a single purchase (0/30,000)】

【Task Reward: Perfect-Level Ghost Binding Contract *5】

“A new task… a single expense of 30,000, which is three units of Yin-energy copper coins… Tsk, not easy!” Lin Yu looked at the new task, finding it rather tricky.

Even in the underworld, it wasn’t easy to spend ghost currency!

The required amount was smaller than last time, but since it wasn’t cumulative, the difficulty actually increased!

Although he was very eager for those perfect-level Ghost Binding Contracts, Lin Yu couldn’t immediately think of a way to complete this task.

“In the end, it’s still the low pricing and consumption level at this Yellow Springs Inn!” Lin Yu sighed.

“Forget it, let’s first check out the rewards I’ve already received!”

In his awareness, Lin Yu saw a new inventory section appear in the system interface.

“A cashback crit card. Well, that’s pretty straightforward…

“It’s the Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine I’m curious about. What does it do?”

Lin Yu examined the small wine bottle icon,

【Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine: Upon consumption, increases soul strength and spiritual perception. Maximum one bottle per day, up to three bottles in total.】

With a thought, a bottle of Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine appeared in his hand.

The number on the icon changed to *9!

Holding the cold, crackled blue-and-white porcelain bottle, he uncorked it, and a strong aroma filled the air.

As Lin Yu inhaled this aroma, all the ghosts in the inn turned to look at him, sensing a precious spirit-nourishing item in Lin Yu’s hands!

However, no one dared to approach him, let alone attempt to steal it!

Constrained by the horror game’s rules and sensing Lin Yu’s “unfathomable” aura, the ghosts didn’t dare to act rashly!

Noticing the ghosts’ gazes, Lin Yu smiled and stood up, “A toast to all of you!”

He raised the bottle, drinking it down in one gulp!

Lin Yu then felt a surge of pure, chilling spiritual energy coursing through his body.

After circulating once, his soul felt slightly stronger, and the ghosts before him appeared more “vivid.”

He could faintly see the Yin energy flowing around them,

【Ding! First consumption of Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine: Spiritual Perception +10, Spiritual Power +100!】

【Host has obtained Spiritual Perception for the first time — attribute panel unlocked!】

【Current Level: First-Rank Ghost Controller】

【Spiritual Perception: 10】

【Spiritual Power: 100】

【Advance to Second-Rank Ghost Controller at Spiritual Power of 500, Spiritual Perception of 50!】

Lin Yu’s eyes lit up upon seeing the panel.

“Just by drinking a bottle, I activated Spiritual Perception and became a First-Rank Ghost Controller!

“This Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine really is something… too bad I can only drink three!

“However, after finishing these three bottles and using that perfect-level Ghost Binding Contract… I’ll finally have real power of my own!”

Sure, using wealth to ensure safety was nice, but in this horror game, true security only comes from one’s own strength!

“Now, I need to come up with a plan to complete the second task quickly!”
