Chapter 303 - Spell Persuasion
historical
At the mission building, students came and went.
Every day, many new missions appeared, and many old missions disappeared.
Some weaker students who lacked credits often waited in the mission hall to snatch missions that were both easy and profitable.
They stayed in front of the searchlight screen and read continuously.
“What the f*ck, there’s a mission with astronomical rewards!”
“What? Where is it? Why haven’t I seen it?”
“The first page, the very top!”
The many missions in the hall were arranged according to value when there weren’t any emergency missions.
Whichever mission had the highest value was ranked first.
The mission that was ranked first had capitalized letters and had the words “ghost catching mission”.
[Mission: Capture wild sprites from elite to extraordinary-level]
[Requirements: Ghost-element, living]
[Reward: According to the number and level captured, elite level 200 to 500 /sprite, extraordinary level 2000 to 5000 /sprite]
[Prize-Pool Quota: 1,000 ~ 2,000 credits]
The hall suddenly fell silent, and then came panting sounds.
Under normal circumstances, a mission of dozens to hundreds of credits would take days to more than ten days to complete.
And in front of them was a mission where catching one sprite would fetch 200, which meant they could earn 2000 credits if they caught ten..
“Gulp.”
“Zhang San, let’s cooperate and go to the Ghost Cave in the country!”
“Wang Wu, the ghost-catching team needs you. Come on!”
When Bai Hongzhen arrived at the mission hall, he was a little dumbfounded.
He wondered if he was in the wrong place?
He couldn’t understand why his classmates kept shouting “50-50”, “40-60” and “Which are the best tools for catching ghosts”.
With doubts, Bai Hongzhen came to the counter and submitted the mission.
Then, he checked the mission list one by one.
What he saw made his eyes widen.
He was a descendant of the Bai family, which provided him with resources. He was financially slightly better off than ordinary students, but he still needed to work.
Like everyone else, he saw the ghost catching mission.
The mission charged based on the number of sprites caught. A rough calculation showed that it was much more cost-effective than other missions.
As long as he caught enough, the reward would be bountiful.
“Which laboratory was so rich to issue this mission?”
Sprite contracting couldn’t be done casually. Only large-scale laboratories could have use for elite-level and extraordinary-level wild sprites.
But Bai Hongzhen was still a little confused.
“If the laboratory is conducting research, wouldn’t they usually specify certain sprites?
“Among ghost-element types, Dream-eating Demons and Nightmare Terrors are more common, but they also have less research value..”
However, there were only two requirements on the mission list.
It required a ghost-element sprite, and it also needed to be alive.
Something seemed wrong.
He shook his head and continued to look down at the mission issuer. Immediately..
He patted his face and rubbed his eyes.
He took two deep breaths and looked again.
[Publisher: Su Hao]
Which Su Hao?
He didn’t think it was a coincidence. It was the same name.
“Has Su Hao already gotten so far?”
“He’s clearly a Sprite Trainer, but why is he doing research..”
“His mission, his mission, I.. I.. I..”
Bai Hongzhen slammed the counter. “I’ll take it!”
Upon hearing Bai Hongzhen’s loud voice, the nearby receptionist rolled her eyes.
..
In the blink of an eye, two weeks passed.
A lot had happened at school in the past two weeks.
During this time, many newbie students went out to catch ghosts.
Old and cunning students also teamed up to catch ghosts.
Experts from the special training camp also went to catch ghosts alone.
Even a certain instructor also went out of his way to catch a few extraordinary-level ghosts.
Throughout all of this, the mission issuer, Su Hao, kept on with his usual training with Ah Yan and Ehfu.
From time to time, he would video call Dazed Crow, Dumb Unicorn, and Big Fat Bear.
It was only until the mission center informed Su Hao that his mission had been completed did Su Hao finally go to pick up his ghost-element sprites.
Su Hao followed the staff member to the designated location.
He arrived at a completely sealed building with no windows and only a closed main door. The building’s materials were special, and there was an enchantment inside, which could prevent ghost-element sprites from passing through or destroying the walls.
The staff member opened the door and entered, but there was still another door inside.
“Mr. Su Hao, I’ll bring you here. There are dozens of ghost-element sprites behind the door, you..”
“No problem, thanks.”
The staff member was aware that the handsome young man in front of him was very strong, so he wasn’t worried. He just said, “If there are any problems, you can contact me through the wristband. There are also alarm buttons on every floor of the building.”
Then, he turned and left.
Buzz–
The door behind him closed, leaving only the ceiling light illuminating the empty middle passage.
Su Hao tapped with the heel of his shoe.
Tap! Tap!
Ah Yan’s figure appeared behind him.
Su Hao reached out and pressed the switch on the door.
Instantly, hum, hum, hum..
The door of the special material slowly opened. There was only darkness inside.
A gust of cold wind blew, and two ghost shadows emerged from the gap between the door that had just opened.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk..”
The two Nightmare Terrors, which had just let out a strange laugh as they thought that they were about to escape, suddenly froze. Their bodies trembled as they floated down, as if they were kneeling before Su Hao.
Of course, the one they submitted to was Ah Yan, who was floating behind Su Hao.
The Ghost King’s aura was now much stronger compared to when it was still in the Ghost City!
After passing the two ordinary Nightmare Terrors, Su Hao stepped into the gloomy ROOM.
Following behind him was a very quiet Ehfu in a white gothic Lolita suit. It stretched out its finger and tapped with its fingertip. A white ball of light appeared and floated in mid-air, illuminating the space in the building.
“Fufu ~ ~ ~”
It called out, as if to say “I’ve switched on the light”.
But in an instant, the light triggered a response, as if Su Hao had poked a hornet’s nest.
The sealed building suddenly became active, and countless ghost-element sprites rushed out from every corner.
“Woo woo woo..”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk..”
“Hehehehe..”
Ghost shadows floated around like black clouds. A cold aura drifted in the building, stirring up waves of cold wind.
They were all afraid of the Yama Ghost King. They didn’t rush up immediately, but they didn’t submit immediately either.
“Four extraordinary and thirty-six elite.”
It only cost Su Hao 20,000 credits. Since the demand for ghost-catching was very high, Su Hao’s prices also lowered over time.
But in Su Hao’s opinion, exchanging money for time was completely worth it.
“Even if I bring Ah Yan to catch it myself, catching elite ghosts may not be difficult, but extraordinary ghost-element.. Well, knowing where to find them is also another problem.”
Back then, there were quite a lot of extraordinary ghost-element sprites in Ghost City. However, Su Hao didn’t see any extraordinary ghost-element sprites until the Gargoyle Tribe attacked and woke up the powerful sprites.
In terms of hiding, the majority of ghost-element sprites were definitely experts.. .
Of course, some of them weren’t very good..
“It’s actually a Golden-Armored Corpse!”
Su Hao was still surrounded by many Nightmare Terrors, but among them there was one in which its aura was the strongest. Like a king, it was surrounded by other ghost-element sprites. It was a two-meter tall, muscular zombie covered in a layer of golden luster.
Golden-Armored Corpse!
It had the strength of an extraordinary high-level.
It was unknown which instructor brought it back. There were still some charred marks on the golden-armored corpse, but its aura was still vigorous, with the aura of a king among corpses.
It was not an entity to be trifled with.
..
An hour later, under Ah Yan’s patient persuasion, ghost-element sprites defected one after another.
Only the Golden-Armored Corpse King continued to roar as it suddenly punched.
Boom!!!
The impact from the wind hit the wall, and the light of the barrier appeared. The whole building still trembled.
Butterfly puffed up its face and prepared to use an illusion that it had long prepared.
The crazy Golden-Armored Corpse King paused.
Standing on the spot, the red light in his eyes flashed.
Yama Ghost King leaped forward, its figure gradually becoming fainter.
At the core of the illusion inside the Golden-Armored Corpse’s mind space..
The sky was gloomy, and a blood-colored round moon hung high in the sky.
Under the blood moon were black mounds, with cold wind blowing and bones everywhere.
A Golden-Armored Corpse King, about three to four meters tall and as strong as an explosion of muscles, with an even more terrifying aura, stood in the center of the mass grave, with its eyes closed and motionless.
At this moment, countless emerald green dots appeared and gathered, forming a butterfly fairy that was two to three meters tall.
In mid-air, black shadows gradually appeared.
It was the Yama Ghost King in a black robe and a crown.
The ground trembled.
The blood moon in the sky glowed with an increasingly horrifying light.
The Golden-Armored Corpse King standing at the center of the mass grave suddenly opened its closed eyes. Red light flashed faintly as it let out a furious roar.
“Roar!!!”
