What do you mean I'm a ghost story?

Chapter 88 The Return of the Money Dart
"Your bravery surpasses all others in the army, making you the champion. Your [Overlord Halberd Technique] swept through the fierce soldiers. Although I am not a skilled martial artist, I was still somewhat impressed."

"Overlord Halberd Technique - Progress: 10%"

"I am deeply gratified by your act of spreading your teachings to the brave soldiers. With the recognition of the masses, you have gained a clearer understanding of the path."

"Tai Chi Chuan - Progress: 10%"

Afterwards, there was an unexpected bonus.

There weren't many people at this training base, and they were all modern soldiers, which obviously didn't quite fit the understanding of the Overlord Halberd Technique and his group.

However, probably because it was the first time, and they were indeed facing the elite warriors of this era, they were given a full 10% progress each.

Once you've done something like this once, your psychological threshold is raised, and doing it again probably won't be very effective, similar to the money dart technique.

"Mom and Dad, I'll be going now."

Xia Qing stayed until midnight before ending his visit and leaving the training base on his Longju motorcycle.

Instead of going home, he drove aimlessly around the city, hoping to find any trace of ghost stories.

Relying solely on the money dart method, which has been silent for a long time, is not enough.

As long as the issue of pastoral organizations remains unresolved, the parents' side will never be truly safe.

Explore on your own, try your luck; if you find any strange tales kept by the Shepherds' Organization, you might be able to follow the clues and uncover the truth.

Furthermore, his own Fangtian Halberd and Beiwei Heavy Armor urgently need suitable Nightmare Origins.

Unfortunately, compared to the vast city, one person's strength is ultimately too weak.

Even with the Golden Eyes of Truth, unless the Nightmare Qi truly soars to the heavens like in the Nightmare Domain, one cannot see it if the distance is too far or there are too many obstacles.

Xia Qing spent the whole night searching, until late at night, but still came up empty-handed.

None of the ghost stories were found.

I wonder if any rumors about the Midnight Knight or something similar will remain.

After all, he was in high spirits and thought that the white dragon horse might also need to relax, so he rode the white dragon horse for quite a while, wandering around late at night.

"Your [Golden Dart Technique] reeked of alcohol, and you returned home drunk. You collapsed into bed and fell into a deep sleep, completely unconscious. However, you were holding a stack of documents in your hand, which unconsciously slipped to the ground in your sleep."

Xia Qing was startled when a notification message suddenly appeared on her screen late at night, just as she was about to go to sleep.

"That guy is finally back."

Upon seeing this information, Xia Qing immediately perked up and felt a sense of relief.

Money Dart Technique has been with me from the very beginning.

He's been gone for so many days without a word, and he's really missing and worried about him.

Of course, there's also the most important one.

He had been out of contact for a while, but now he's back, which means the things he was told to do must have been settled.

"The document, what does it say? Describe it."

Xia Qing waited happily for a moment, but soon her face darkened.

The message only mentioned that there was a file, but nothing happened after that.

Am I supposed to look at that document myself?

Fortunately, we have a telepathic connection, so we can just ask directly.

However, after Xia Qing tried, the Money Dart Technique still didn't work, so it seemed to have really 'gone to sleep'.

The feedback that she kept thinking about was that she was sleeping soundly.

After thinking it over, since there was already news, Xia Qing wasn't in a hurry and didn't forcefully activate the Money Dart Technique.

Anyway, I'm going to sleep soon, so I can deal with whatever it is tomorrow morning.

However, after experiencing the financial losses incurred by the Money Dart Technique on this trip, he could no longer fall asleep.

This time, he promised to let the Money Dart Technique use it freely, so he wouldn't know the exact cost until the Money Dart Technique returned and "reported" its expenses. He had already prepared to pay any price, after all, money and parents were equally important.

But when he actually felt the amount of money consumed, his heart still skipped a beat.

It feels like cardiac arrest.

This guy probably spent at least tens of thousands on this trip!
"You've bankrupted me again..."

Xia Qing sighed, feeling utterly exhausted.

Previously, from the Mirror Demon to the several battles with Yue Wumu, I mainly used the "Spend a Fortune" skill only when it could hit, so the consumption was much less than that of the Titanium Card.

A few scattered battles, plus the occasional use of tactics like "Greedy for Money," cost around 50,000 to 60,000.

These damages were mainly to the halberd and the heavy armor of the Beiwei, but repairs afterward obviously had to be paid for.

In addition, he spent 50,000 on custom-made armor, over 100,000 on the Money Dart Technique, and a considerable amount on buying wine and other items. After all that, he basically only had 10,000 to 20,000 left in his pocket.

His ability to spend lavishly is arguably the key to his current success in defeating Nightmare.

Without the targeted countermeasure of the Demon-Slaying Golden Light, it becomes somewhat helpless against the physical immunity, self-healing, and even immortality that Nightmare generally possesses.

The main problem is that I haven't had a proper and stable source of income, which is really not a good thing.

While pondering how to find a stable way to make money, Xia Qing gradually drifted off to sleep late into the night.

The next day.

"Money Dart Technique: Boss! Boss! Wake up! Good news! I have some really great news!"

Upon waking up early in the morning, Xia Qing immediately saw the information about the Money Dart Technique.

"Yes, I know. I saw it yesterday. They found the list of Pastors' organization members and their locations, etc."

Xia Qing yawned as she got up, communicating with the Money Dart Technique as she went to wash up.

"The Money Dart Technique: That's not all! Boss, you know me, what's so exciting about gathering intelligence?"

"What is it? Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly. You've been away for so many days and spent over ten thousand of my money. If you don't have good news, you'd better watch out."

Xia Qing laughed and scolded.

"The Money Dart Technique: Money! Cash! I've found out the address of a leader in the Pastors' Organization, and I heard he has millions in cash in his safe!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing immediately felt wide awake.

Cash! Millions! Keyword capture!

Nowadays, online payments are widely used. If it's money in an account, unless you can force the other party to hand it over, there's no way you can get it back.

Moreover, the funds involved online leave obvious traces, which might lead to trouble and could damage one's image as a friendly citizen in the eyes of the authorities.

But cash is different.

I destroy criminal organizations and casually take some of the cash they left on the ground.

That makes sense, right?
Don't ask, I just picked it up.

"Alright, alright, you deserve a lot of credit this time. Tell me in detail what exactly happened, and what about yesterday's documents?"

Xia Qing was immediately wide awake. She quickly washed up and immediately asked for details about the Money Dart Technique.

The Money Darts method ultimately lived up to expectations, producing a large number of detailed lists.

It contains members of the Shepherd Organization scattered throughout Star City, as well as their subordinates who have been subjected to cognitive interference, and some core gathering places, and even places where strange tales are kept.

The cash I just mentioned is also located in one of these locations.

Xia Qing was somewhat alarmed by this list.
