Chapter 177: Five Ghosts Transport Talisman
To be honest, Lian Yun had come out at this time to give the three a message, wanting to know about their recent situation.
However, seeing that although the three of them wore smiles, they were also exuding an air of exhaustion, Lian Yun couldn't help but say, "Wealth is merely an external possession. For now, focus on enhancing your own strength. When I have some free time, we can discuss acquiring wealth later."
"Understood, sir!"
At that moment, Joseph came running from a distance, looking quite pleased with himself. He approached Lian Yun and cautiously asked in a low voice, "Mr. White, how is the mission progressing?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Joseph. It will be completed soon."
Joseph was somewhat taken aback but then his expression brightened as he said, "If possible, Mr. White, please complete the mission as soon as you can. Finishing it early not only increases the chances of receiving a higher reward but might also lead to subsequent missions!"
"Subsequent missions?"
To be honest, after the unexpected reward from the Old Village Chief and feeling that he had prepared for too long over three hours, Lian Yun had thought that completing the mission sooner might yield greater rewards.
However, he had never considered that there could be subsequent missions or even knew that such a thing existed.
Thus, he couldn't help but ask in return.
In response, Joseph seemed to understand that Lian Yun was someone who did not concern himself with trivial matters and explained, "Some missions are consecutive. Completing one grants a reward and then triggers the next mission."
"Typically, if it's a consecutive mission, the final reward will be greater than the total of all previous missions combined."
"Additionally, there are follow-up missions. Essentially, once you complete a task and gain the recognition of the task giver, they will provide you with the opportunity for the next mission, which may involve finding someone or participating in a certain event, thus triggering another task."
"The rewards for these follow-up missions are unpredictable, but if you can keep receiving them, you will eventually obtain a very valuable reward."
"Mr. Joseph is also visiting Yin Yang City for the first time; how could he know so much?" Ma Wenlong asked, echoing Lian Yun's curiosity.
Joseph was unreserved and replied, "Every month, newcomers arrive from the Twelve Cities to the novice village. Just last month, someone from Moscow came here. He took an interest in me and shared some information about Yin Yang City."
"He probably hopes that I can take on a Hidden Mission or a series of tasks!"
In the end, Joseph shook his head slightly, feeling a bit disheartened.
Lian Yun was familiar with the Twelve Cities: Luoyang, Handan, Xianyang, Chang'an, Moscow, Athens, Cairo, Rome, Ottawa, Washington, Mexico City, and Brasília.
Although there were only four famous cities in ancient China, it represented that the people of Huaxia occupied one-third of the power in Yin Yang City, while the remaining two-thirds belonged to various parts of the world.
However, some might wonder why Yin Yang City, built by Huaxia's Eternal Emperor, is only occupied by Huaxia people to such a small extent.
Yet that was merely a matter of territory; in terms of strength, Huaxia combined with the spirits likely held about half of the power.
Moreover, if the Eternal Emperor was guarding the Huaxia Ethnicity and Yin Yang City merely required laborers, it would naturally be impossible to rely solely on Huaxia people.
Lian Yun understood that within Yin Yang City there were Twelve Cities but was unaware that individuals from these Twelve Cities could return to the novice village to select 'organization members.'
However, upon further reflection, it seemed somewhat reasonable.
If Yin Yang City valued talent, it would naturally want to provide certain protections for them. However, in the interest of fairness, Yin Yang City would not deliberately favor the talented; instead, it would find ways to protect them.
For example, the Hidden Mission that Lian Yun received was not something an ordinary person could accomplish in just a few hours to earn over three thousand Gray Spirit Coins. Moreover, even if someone came from the Twelve Cities, they wouldn’t offer any assistance to those who weren’t talented.
Opportunities appeared equal on the surface, but where in the world is there absolute fairness?
After receiving information from Joseph, Lian Yun indeed wanted to give it a try.
Although the Terracotta Army was suitable for training Ghost Slaves, their attacks were too singular and rigid, which diminished their training effectiveness significantly.
Thus, in the fifth round, Lian Yun only allowed Zhao Jinlong, Zhao Jinhui, Shihai Yong, Bai Yuancheng, and the Three Spirits to attack the Terracotta Army. Meanwhile, he himself, along with Yang Zai Xing, Hei, Chen Er Gou, Sword Mountain, and Big Head focused entirely on attacking the Dragon Carved Stone Pillar.
In the first four rounds, Lian Yun had already accumulated nearly six hundred thousand in mission points. With the addition of Yang Zai Xing and Hei in this fifth round, the amount of Gray Spirit Coins earned doubled. Not to mention Sword Mountain, Big Head, and Chen Er Gou. Even though the three Ghost Slaves didn’t possess high combat power individually, their combined efforts yielded a considerable amount of Gray Spirit Coins.
Before long, Lian Yun completed a million Gray Spirit Coin mission.
It wasn’t that this mission was easy; it was simply that Lian Yun had too many powerful Ghost Slaves at his disposal.
Upon leaving the Cave, as soon as Old Village Chief saw Lian Yun, he exclaimed with surprise, “Young man! I didn’t expect you to complete the mission so quickly; your future is bright! Here’s your reward.”
Lian Yun no longer wanted to speculate whether Old Village Chief's expression was scripted or genuine. He took a flat box about a palm's length from Old Village Chief’s hands and turned to leave.
"Oh! By the way! If you have some free time, could you visit Zhang Caifu at the grocery store tomorrow noon? He seems to be facing some difficulties. I believe you can help him."
There really was a follow-up task. Lian Yun felt a bit surprised and delighted. He turned back and bowed deeply to Old Village Chief, then left under the curious, greedy gazes of hundreds, entering a nearby house before finally opening the box that Old Village Chief had rewarded him.
Inside the box was a very special talisman, adorned with five ghosts and some messy yet mysterious characters.
Below the talisman was a note.
When Lian Yun opened it, he immediately felt a hint of strangeness.
Five Ghosts Transport Talisman: After dripping blood to recognize the talisman, one can use their spiritual power to summon five ghosts from the Five Ghosts Transport Talisman to help transport items to a designated location.
Moreover, this location can be anywhere you have been and remember.
In theory, the five ghosts could transport items outside of Yin Yang City, but it was uncertain whether that would violate the rule of Yin Yang City that prohibits sharing certain information with outsiders. Thus, no one had ever dared to send items outside of Yin Yang City.
However, it was foreseeable that delivering items to one's own warehouse would clearly be the most common and frequent usage method.
