Chapter 73 – Is this woman so smart?
The five people and one bear fought fiercely.
One after another, the fierce ghosts fell, and even the three remaining ghosts couldn't escape their fate of being killed, their souls completely dissipated.
Outside the Secret Realm, a new, larger, and more eye-catching leaderboard appeared on the difficulty rankings.
There was only one piece of information on it.
[Moon Shadow Guild]: Hell Mode, Progress 60%.
The players outside who saw this message couldn't believe their eyes.
"Damn, am I seeing things? A guild is tackling Hell Mode at Night Cave Ghost Ridge!"
"Look at the progress, damn, 60%! That's higher than the Eternal Guild on Hard Mode; they only reached 58%."
"Which guild is Moon Shadow Guild? Never heard of them."
"Isn't Hell Mode the hardest? They haven't even cleared Hard Mode and they're challenging Hell Mode?"
***
The Hell Mode progress leaderboard sparked heated discussions and debates among the players outside.
Inside the Secret Realm.
All four fierce ghosts were taken care of.
Su Wanling was about to loot the equipment but was stopped by Jiang Luoyu.VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels
"Let Mr. Lin do it. His luck is definitely better than ours."
Lin Jichen didn't stand on ceremony. He walked over and opened all four Soul Burial Mounds, revealing equipment and Spirit Stones scattered all over the ground!
Five pieces of Spirit Grade equipment, seven pieces of Ordinary Grade equipment, and over forty Spirit Stones.
Wow!
Except for Jiang Luoyu, the three girls exclaimed in excitement.
What kind of divine luck is this?
"Master Lin, with luck like yours, why even play this game? Just buy a lottery ticket and get rich," Su Wanling joked enviously.
Lin Jichen didn't take it seriously.
"Buying a lottery ticket is nothing compared to getting Spirit Grade equipment in Tale of Immortal. A few pieces of Spirit Grade gear are worth more than hitting the jackpot."
Su Wanling had to agree. Spirit Grade equipment is rare and each piece can be worth millions.
Lin Jichen wasn't exaggerating. In his past life, the first Lucky One of Tale of Immortal, Shi Xiyue, made a fortune of billions just by opening Soul Burial Mounds for others.
Guilds would specifically hire her to open equipment. After defeating a BOSS, they would leave the Soul Burial Mound untouched and pay Shi Xiyue to open it.
Almost nine out of ten times, the items she got were worth far more than expected.
However, after the world merged, money became worthless.
Lin Jichen had no intention of taking advantage of her.
"What do you mean?" Su Wanling still didn't understand.
Lin Jichen gestured towards the Gravekeeper and said, "Aren't you curious why he's here? And aren't you curious where the BOSS went?"
Su Wanling was stunned for a few seconds and then realized.
Her pupils widened, and she asked anxiously, "You mean... the Gravekeeper is the BOSS of Night Cave Ghost Ridge???"
"Not too dumb, although not very sharp. With your intelligence, you should be able to use a smartphone, not pick up things off the ground to eat, and avoid getting wet in the rain, right?"
Lin Jichen's teasing made Su Wanling roll her eyes, almost ready to hit him.
Who are you calling an idiot!
"If he's the BOSS, why did he give us a task? Just to trick us for fun?" Jiang Luoyu was puzzled.
"Why do you think those three fierce ghosts appeared so quickly?" Lin Jichen asked in return.
Jiang Luoyu, being smart, immediately understood. She looked at the handkerchief in Su Wanling's hand and said, "You mean, the handkerchief is a signal for the three fierce ghosts?"
"Yes, but not entirely." Lin Jichen realized he had let something slip and quickly tried to cover it up.
But Jiang Luoyu, being sharp, continued to analyze.
"Does that mean if we don't accept this task at the start, or don't pick up the handkerchief, the three fierce ghosts won't come at the same time?"
Jiang Luoyu's eyes sparkled as she smiled at Lin Jichen, waiting for his answer.
Lin Jichen's expression froze.
"Damn! I just gave one clue, and you figured it out?"
Lin Jichen was annoyed. This woman is so smart.
Now he was at a loss; she knew the strategy to clear the level.
"Mr. Lin, thank you for giving our Moon Shadow Guild the Secret Realm strategy for free~"
Jiang Luoyu smiled, her lips curling up in a playful manner.
Lin Jichen was helpless, pretending to be magnanimous, "Forget it, I didn't plan to make money from this anyway."
His heart ached.
Jiang Luoyu smiled sweetly and explained, "Don't worry, the four of us will keep this strategy a secret for you. We won't tell anyone else, so you can still sell it to others."
"Really?"
"Of course, I swear on the honor of the Moon Shadow Guild's president."
"That's good, at least I can still make some money."
Lin Jichen felt a bit comforted.
He silently warned himself to be more careful when talking to this woman in the future; too many words lead to mistakes!
