"Mr. Chen has been sending me private messages, asking if I know where you are."

Nie Wan was taken aback.

"He asked me what I did?"

"How would I know?" Lan Xiangyuan shrugged and was about to leave when Nie Wan stopped her and told her that Huatang Chunxiao might contact her.

Lan Xiangyuan left, but Nie Wan remained in the dungeon, grinding until she had been online for a full eight hours.

All the equipment and skills dropped in the dungeon, except those that Nie Wan could use, were given to Lan Xiangyuan to handle.

During this time, I did manage to find a Soul Bead, but it wasn't from the boss; it was from a tattered totem mask.

Excellent Soul Bead, adds 20% negative resistance.

With the Xiangfei fan inlaid in her hand, Nie Wan fought the boss for the last time.

I thought I'd only find one exquisite piece of equipment at most, but unexpectedly, I also found another fragment of the Nine Netherworld Key.

Three fragments can be combined to make a key.

Nie Wan was greatly shocked, immediately synthesized the item, and then left the instance.

Having spent so much time grinding dungeons, Nie Wan had already reached level ten. After returning to the starting village, she went directly to the village head and spent ten taels of silver to be teleported to Dengzhou Prefecture.

Nie Wan teleported herself to Dengzhou Prefecture, a prefecture city near the East China Sea. After reaching level 20, she could come here to accept a long-term quest to hunt sea monsters on the coast and gain reputation in Dengzhou Prefecture, as well as a large amount of experience and special equipment.

Nie Wan came here at this time also for a mission.

But more accurately, it's for a talisman that can be obtained during a mission.

As soon as I stepped out of the teleportation array, I immediately sensed something different.

The streets are bustling and crowded with people.

However, all these bustling crowds are NPCs. Currently, apart from Nie Wan, no other player has reached level 10 and come here.

Nie Wan glanced around and spotted the direction of the government office in the distance. She immediately went there and found a clerk outside the government office who was sighing and groaning. She then received the mission to kill the sea monster.

"We, the men of Dengzhou, have been troubled by sea monsters for many years. We are deeply grateful for your help in slaying the demon. Please accept these protective talismans."

Nie Wan received the golden talisman from the advisor, her eyes brightening slightly.

Anyone who takes on the mission to exterminate the sea monster for the first time can get a Golden Light Talisman from this advisor, but Nie Wan is not sure if she can still get it because her level is too low.

I was thinking that if I couldn't get it, I would do a few tasks first to accumulate Dengzhou Prefecture reputation, and then come back to exchange for it.

This saves us a lot of trouble.

After obtaining the Golden Light Talisman, Nie Wan did not go to complete the mission of exterminating the sea monster, but instead found a secluded alley.

I told Lan Xiangyuan that I had a special mission to do and that it might be difficult to contact her for the next few days. I asked her to cover for her in front of others.

Then, he took out the Nine Netherworld Key that he had already synthesized and clicked to use it. The world spun around him.

When the scenery was restored, it looked completely different.

gushing lava, pitch-black rocks, and a gloomy sky.

This is a territory of the Oni race that perfectly fits the stereotype.

Having done missions here in her previous life, Nie Wan knew the way well. After glancing at her surroundings, she determined that she was in the Fiery Hell.

The territory of the Ghost Clan is divided into the Nine Netherworlds, which are actually nine different kinds of hell, such as raging fire, freezing ice, and knife mountains.

Each of the Nine Netherlands territories has a lord, who is an NPC of the Demon Treasure level.

In her previous life, until Nie Wan was reborn and returned, these NPCs were still unchallenged by players.

However, Nie Wan knew very well that even if she died, the world would continue to go on.

Sooner or later, ambitious players will wipe out all the NPCs.

In this life, she will still be one of those ambitious people.

Moreover, the goal no longer includes Shao Wenjun.

It was entirely for her own sake.

The Nine Netherworld is a high-level map. This lava field is considered a relatively remote area, but the surrounding monsters are already around level 50.

Nie Wan knew that with her current strength, she had no way to kill these monsters.

She tried her best to avoid the monsters hidden in the volcanic lava, and if she couldn't avoid them, she would activate the golden light talisman in her hand.

A golden light enveloped its entire body, and the ghostly creature in the magma immediately shrank back upon seeing it.

These golden talismans have a strong restraining effect on ordinary demons and ghosts.

These ghosts hiding in the magma right now have no reason and are only of a crude level, so they will naturally fear the Golden Light Talisman.

Five minutes of golden light protecting the body is enough for one to escape from danger.

However, Nie Wan only had five Golden Light Talismans. If she didn't plan carefully, she might die in the wild before even reaching her destination.

This volcanic area stretches for thousands of miles, and it took Nie Wan two days just to walk through it.

She never logged off and remained walking in the mountains.

When you run out of energy, stop and rest. Once you've recovered your energy, continue walking forward.

Despite the protection of the Golden Light Talisman, danger still lurked everywhere.

It was only thanks to her strong instinct for seeking advantage and avoiding harm that she was able to safely traverse the volcano where most of the monsters were around level 100, and successfully reach the demon town outside the volcano just as her food and water were about to run out.

The words "Yaksha Village" were hung above the city gate, and the ghosts guarding the gate were ugly with blue faces and fangs.

But when they saw Nie Wan, they didn't pounce on her like the wild ghosts outside. Instead, they gave her a strange look.

"You are not of our kind, so why have you come here?"

"Senior, please don't be offended. I found this item by chance. A wise person pointed out that this opportunity would fall in the Nine Netherworld, and guided me here."

As Nie Wan spoke, she took out the Purple Jade Illusion Crystal.

The purple jade crystal exuded a strong ghostly aura, clearly indicating it belonged to a noble family.

The guard glanced at her, nodded slightly, and allowed her to enter the city.

This is a little trick that everyone knew in the previous life.

The Ghost Clan and the Spirit Clan are relatively peaceful races. As long as you have their clan's items, you can basically move around their small towns without any problems and start quests to farm reputation.

Nie Wan successfully entered the city and immediately went door-to-door to find NPCs to accept quests.

Her level was too low, and the tasks she could get were all errands and odd jobs, such as this ghost girl delivering the Netherworld Flower to that ghost boy, and the tailor asking her to go to the peddler's shop to get silk and needles and thread.

These tasks don't offer much experience, and reputation is only increased little by little.

Nie Wan diligently completed the task, and finally, after completing the 30th daily task, when she faced the NPC again, she no longer saw a low-quality errand-running task.

"Little girl, I think you're a tailor too."

The ghost tailor was a tall, thin male ghost who looked somewhat lewd. His narrow eyes were fixed on Nie Wan, as if he wanted to do something improper.
