Chapter 602 What a coincidence, they picked my strong point

As the city gate opened, a group of people stepped into the deserted town.

but……

The eight ghosts and gods, led by the six palace masters of the Shadow Palace, did not show much joy on their faces. On the contrary, their expressions were very solemn.

Especially the words "Welcome to hell" from the city gate guard made them feel uneasy, as if they had invisibly entered a dark place where ghosts are eaten without spitting out bones.

This gave them a bad feeling.

I always feel that the place where the Ghost Emperor's inheritance lies is a trap, and there is no possibility of obtaining the inheritance at all.

The skinny ghost understood the eight ghost gods' thoughts very well. For the sake of the twenty-three gray crystals, he took the initiative to reveal: "You'd better not offend the natives of the deserted town. They are part of the inheritance of the Ghost Emperor and have a great influence on the inheritance. The same is true for the city gate guards. They are in charge of the entry and exit rights of the deserted town. If you offend them, you will no longer be able to enter the deserted town. At that time, the only outcome is death."

"Moreover, this group of natives are extremely united. If you offend one, you will offend all of them. If you want to stay here for a long time, remember my advice and don't offend any of the natives in the deserted town."

Hear.

Jiang Ming's eyes were more interested: "So your current state is also caused by offending these indigenous people?"

The eight great ghosts and gods also set their sights on the skinny ghost.

Just as they had thought before, a nightmare-level ghost or god, no matter where it was, should not be so destitute as to be naked and hungry.

This appearance is a bit too miserable.

The only answer they could think of was that the skinny ghost had offended the indigenous people here.

however……

The skinny ghost's words were beyond the expectations of all the ghosts.

He said bitterly: "No, I just... simply have no money."

Listen to this answer.

The eight ghosts and gods were all startled.

No money?

They thought of countless possibilities, but they never expected the outcome to be so simple.

This is ridiculous.

A nightmare-level ghost god would actually become so destitute just because he has no money.

"I've said before that the only currency in Desolate Town is Gray Crystal. Without Gray Crystal, you won't even be able to solve your life problems. For example, accommodation costs money for every residential building here. One payment per day is three Gray Crystals per payment. For example, eating is inedible because the distorted ghost beasts in the Ghost Mountain Range cannot be eaten. We need to bring back the ghost beast corpses and hand them over to the special Desolate Town Ghost Chef for processing before we can eat them. One Gray Crystal is needed for every five meals. In other words, you need at least three and a half Gray Crystals a day to maintain your daily needs."

"But... hunting ghost-level distorted ghost beasts is easier said than done. We have no Yin power, no mental power, and we can't activate our divine abilities. We can only rely on our physical fitness to fight ghost beasts. Hunting three in a day is already a good result. If we are unlucky and get injured by ghost beasts and get cursed, we need a special ghost doctor to remove it. The cost is as high as ten gray crystals at a time. If you are infected with a strong curse, it is common for those black doctors to charge you a hundred gray crystals. In this case, the income and expenditure cannot be balanced at all. We can only struggle to make ends meet every day."

"Especially for someone like me who has no money for treatment, my combat power has dropped severely. Sometimes I can't even hunt down a ghost-level distorted ghost beast in a day. I can only rely on my previous savings to barely survive here. But you have seen the result. Because I have no money, I can't pay for food most of the time. I can only hold on."

Listening to the miserable story of the skinny ghost, the eight ghosts and gods present had their brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (cross) shape.

From the other party's description, they heard a truth -

Poverty is the original sin.

Because of lack of money, the skinny ghost could not heal its wounds, resulting in a drop in combat power. It lost the ability to continue hunting deformed ghost beasts and could only solve the problem of housing every day.

If you want to change this situation, you need money for treatment.

Where does the money come from?

Hunting down deformed ghost beasts.

This returns to the starting point, resulting in an endless loop.

According to this trend, once the skinny ghost's savings are exhausted, he is destined to be driven out of the deserted town and die under the claws of the deformed ghost beast or be melted and disintegrated by the green mist.

A nightmare-level ghost was forced into such a situation. This deserted town was truly a ghost-eating hell.

What makes the ghosts even more desperate is that such a need is just to be able to survive. If they want to get clues about the inheritance of the Ghost Emperor, they need more gray crystals and need to hunt ghost beasts every day.

This has been the case for tens of thousands of years.

Just thinking about it makes the ghost feel that the future is dark.

Jiang Ming looked calm.

He did not feel any negative emotions because of these words. On the contrary, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

This place of inheritance where you need money to survive is a heavy burden for any ghost, but for him who owns the lv5 plug-in [Copycat Phone, Awesome] and the new plug-in [Peak Experience Card], this is a shopping mall with clearly marked prices.

Whatever you want, just buy it.

This deserted town can be said to have chosen his strong point.

He has a lot of things, but a lot of money.

"Let's go, first find a place to live, and then find out the situation here."

Jiang Ming glanced at the sky and walked forward.

There are buildings on both sides of the town, only three or four stories high.

There are various stall owners on the streets.

Some cooked food, some sold medicine, and some sold clothing.

It was almost the same as the morning market in the real world. The only difference was that the vendors were all ghosts, or special natives of the Ghost Emperor's kingdom.

For the sake of the twenty-three gray crystals, the skinny ghost acted as a tour guide for free and introduced the buildings on both sides.

Pharmacy, restaurant, tailor shop for underworld clothing, exchange, inn...

"Don't go to any of these places. The things inside are extremely expensive and we can't afford them at all. I even suspect that the Ghost Emperor is just messing around by opening such a store, because almost no ghosts are willing to spend their survival grey crystals there. It's just a decoration. The only valuable thing is the exchange, where you can buy intelligence clues about inheritance and exchange them for grey crystals of higher quality."

The skinny ghost explained with personal emotions.

There was some resentment in his words.

It seemed as if they felt that the Ghost Emperor was mocking their incompetence by opening these stores, saying that they couldn't even enter to consume.

But they really can't do it.

This is very angry.

……

soon.

As the skinny ghost stopped, the group came to a small, dilapidated house.

The house is of ordinary rural earth and stone house style.

The entire residential area only has two rooms and a toilet.

The thin ghost passed through the first room and came to the house in the backyard.

"We're here. If you want to find a place to stay, this is the best value for money because we've rented this stone house. If you rent it with multiple people, you only need to pay 300 gray crystals a month, which is much cheaper than outside. And I live here too, so you don't need to worry about me cheating you."

talking.

He pushed open the door.

Revealing the environment inside.

The entire stone house is more than 30 square meters in size, with a rectangular layout and a row of earth pits on each side. If they are crowded, it can accommodate about to ghosts.

The innermost corner was isolated and emitted an unpleasant odor.

Seeing such an environment, the faces of the eight ghosts and gods on the scene darkened.

Violence is rampant.

The Sixth Palace Master of the Shadow Palace couldn't believe it and said, "You want me to die... My son lives in a place like this? That corner is a toilet? Isn't there a toilet here?"

The Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace also found it hard to accept: "Those who can enter here alive are at least at the level of ghosts and gods. Can you tolerate living in such a filthy place?"

The skinny ghost seemed to have expected this and said calmly, "What if you don't accept it? This is the cheapest house we can find. Although we are well-known figures in the outside world, we are not much better than the bottom floor here. In fact, such a stone house is already considered decent. Can you believe that there are nightmare-level ghosts like me living in a doghouse? The fee there is not expensive, only half a gray crystal a day, but I think you can't accept it."

"As for the toilet, you'll get used to it after a while, because compared to the toilets outside where you need a grey crystal every time you go to the toilet ten times, the free ones here are more fragrant."

The eight ghosts and gods listened, but they still couldn't accept such a gap in their hearts.

This is totally trampling on the devil.

Even if they can accept it, what about their biological father?

This is absolutely not possible.

In their opinion, even if they lived here, they had to provide Jiang Ming with a suitable residence, at least an inn.

Only in this way can one be called the Son of Man.

The skinny ghost saw all of this, but there was no surprise in his eyes, as if he had expected such an outcome.

after all.

He had the same idea when he first came here, thinking that living here was a complete insult to him, but now? He still lives here and recommends the advantages of this place to other ghosts.

this is the truth.

He couldn't refuse to accept it.

He said meaningfully, "I know you are resentful, but this is reality. When you are constantly injured due to long-term fighting and can only reduce the number of hunts, and the income from gray crystals cannot support your life, your bottom line will retreat again and again, and finally you will think of this place."

"Oh, yes. Since you gave me twenty-three gray crystals for free, I'll give you another piece of information. The closing time of the deserted town is eight o'clock in the evening, which is about three hours away. With the travel time and the return time, you have at most one and a half hours to hunt the distorted ghost beast. In this time, you need to collect at least forty gray crystals to ensure a comfortable stay on the first night. You need to meet this standard every day thereafter, otherwise your consumption will definitely be downgraded."

"Anyway, you are welcome to stay in this stone house at any time. It only costs 300 gray crystals per month."

Done.

The skinny ghost returned to the house and sat on the stone pit.

Counting the gains of this trip.

There was no trace of disgust on his face due to the harsh environment.

Watch this scene.

The eight ghosts and gods sank to the bottom of the valley.

I feel a little more confused about the future.

Will they also become like the skinny ghosts and sink into this in the future?
