Chapter 49 Titles: Kun Sect Intern and Lancheng Tomb Exploder

Bai Wan couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the notification.

Good grief, while it was notoriously difficult for ordinary people to acquire even a single title, he had managed to obtain two in a single instance. Combined with the one he already had, he now possessed a total of three titles.

He looked down with some curiosity.

[Kun Sect Intern]
Quality: Rare
Description: Performed the Kun Sect dance for over fifty ghosts in one breath, displaying the might of the Kun Sect. This title is specially rewarded.
Effect: The more ghosts present at the scene, the higher the probability of a "Kun Flash" occurring. Wearing overalls and a middle-part hairstyle grants bonuses. The title can also be actively released. Upon release, the probability of a Kun Flash appearing is infinitely close to one hundred percent, lasting for 5 minutes. It can only be used once per instance.
Tip: Current title level is 1. The title can be upgraded to acquire more Kun Sect skills.

[Qixing City Tomb Demolisher]
Quality: Epic
Effect: When the player is in a graveyard, there is a probability of summoning a meteor shower. The more tomb markers destroyed, the higher the probability of the meteor shower appearing, the larger its range, and the greater its destructive power. Current level 2 (two graveyards destroyed): meteor shower appearance probability * 2, range * 2, power * 2.

After reading them, Bai Wan stood there in a daze for a long time.

Good grief...

Kun Sect Intern and Qixing City Tomb Demolisher... The number of weird titles was increasing.

However, the Kun Sect Intern title seemed quite practical. It increased the probability of triggering a Kun Flash and could also be actively released to unleash infinite Kun Flashes.

Thinking about himself dribbling a basketball among a crowd of ghosts while constantly executing Kun Flashes, Bai Wan found the mental image utterly absurd.

Yet, there was no denying that the Kun Flash was genuinely effective. Even the terrifying Lin Yuan had been forced back by his Kun Flash. As a troll who loved chaos, he had originally only intended for a laugh, planning to rely on his bloody bandages or the blood skeleton statue to hold out for two seconds before escaping. Never did he expect... that the Kun Flash would actually work.

As for the Qixing City Tomb Demolisher... Bai Wan could only feel the deep malice emanating from the system.

Good grief, toying with me again, are you?

What was the use of this ability? Was it meant for him to hunt down graveyards and then make a wish upon a meteor shower?

All he could say was that it was fucking romantic...

Bai Wan's expression suddenly darkened as he asked the system, "Hey System, is this title going to be made public on the game forum? Can I hide it?"

Although Captain Zhou Lu and Liu Tong were decent people and claimed to regard him as family, it was hard to imagine whether they would want to bludgeon this "beloved family member" to death upon seeing the glaring characters "Qixing City Tomb Demolisher" stamped across his profile, only to present him with a brand new tombstone and visit regularly to pay their respects.

The system replied, "Only the effects can be hidden. The title name and description cannot be hidden."

Hearing this, Bai Wan couldn't help but retort, "Hey, you didn't tell me that my previous title allowed me to hide its effects and title."

The system chuckled, "Did you ask?"

Bai Wan chuckled back, "I didn't ask, so you didn't mention it?"

The system continued to chuckle, "You didn't ask, so why should I mention it?"

Bai Wan sneered, "If I have to ask about everything, what use do I have for a system like you?"

The system sneered back, "If I have to proactively explain everything, what use do I have for a player like you?"

System: "Asshole!"
Bai Wan: "Asshole!"

The two of them began cursing at each other simultaneously impenetrably.

Feeling the system's brick-wall attitude and its constant attempts to screw him over, Bai Wan felt a surge of anger rising in his chest.

Fine, just fine! He had shown mercy to the game instance this time and refrained from completely breaking it, and instead of showing any gratitude, the system was actually cursing at him!

Oh, you think you're tough? Just you wait! One day, I'm going to crash both the instance and you out of existence!

The ghost system also began silently rearranging instances, pulling some of the most dangerous ones out of its inventory.

Damn it, you idiot player, I'll make sure an instance plays you to death!

Discarding any further engagement with the unreasonable ghost system, Bai Wan focused on his current gains. Because he had achieved an SSS rating, he received two skill points, allowing him to upgrade two of his bug-like abilities at once.

In addition, he had obtained an opportunity to learn a new skill. He wondered which bug would be favored by him next.

However, Bai Wan temporarily held off on spending his skill points, directing his attention instead to the painting and the letter currently resting on his desk.

These were items retrieved from the Letter instance, and they were bound to be extraordinary.

He picked up the letter first, and information regarding it immediately surfaced in his mind.

[Space-Time Letter]
Affiliation: Ghost Prop
Quality: Special Cursed
Attached Ability: This prop can be used to write a letter to yourself at any time within the past three days. It consumes no ghost coins and has a permanent usage limit of three times. The limit can be replenished under unknown conditions.

After reading it, Bai Wan couldn't help but marvel at its potency.

Writing a letter to the past to alter the present was a formidable trump card for saving one's life. For instance, if he were being hunted by ghosts and driven into a desperate, fatal situation, all he needed to do was write a letter to himself three days prior, instructing him to prepare in advance, thereby breaking the deadlock.

What a fantastic item! With a total of three permanent uses, it essentially granted him three precious life-saving opportunities.

He only wondered how the uses could be replenished once exhausted, but regardless, this was a powerful prop, making it well worth clearing the unsolvable-tier instance "Letter."

Next, he inspected the painting he had received from the painter—a depiction of a dense forest. This was the labor reward he had earned by dancing for it. He wanted to see what kind of effects it possessed.

[Painter's Ordinary Painting]
Affiliation: Ghost Prop
Quality: Special Blood-Red
Attached Ability: Painted World. The forest from the painted world can be materialized into reality to form a new environment lasting for ten minutes. Within the new environment, the speed of all living creatures other than the player is halved, and as time passes, other creatures will become increasingly sluggish (the player may also designate certain creatures to remain unaffected). Total ghost coin consumption: 300. Can be used once per instance.

Bai Wan read through it carefully twice, roughly grasping its implications.

It meant he could summon the forest from the painting into reality, applying a slowing effect to ghosts and other creatures. This was clearly designed for survival scenarios. If he were attacked by ghosts, he could materialize the forest to obstruct them, and within its bounds, the ghosts' movements would grow slower and slower.

Bai Wan looked over his haul with great satisfaction.

Two powerful ghost items, along with awakening crystal fragments obtained from the shop, a slot for the Desolate Village instance, a rare-tier ghost recipe, plus a total of 2,800 ghost coins.

Clearing an unsolvable-tier instance this time had yielded staggering rewards.

He glanced briefly at his younger sister inside the painting. At that moment, Bai Xi wore a silly grin, suggesting her gains were likely substantial as well.

Deciding not to disturb his sister for the time being, Bai Wan contentedly admired his spoils before opening his skill interface. Having acquired two skill upgrade points, he could upgrade two skills and even learn an extra new skill. He felt an intense wave of anticipation.

And while Bai Wan was happily investing points to upgrade his skills, the news regarding the "Letter" instance had already been publicly published on the Ghost Forum.

At some point in the afternoon, the previously quiet forum interface suddenly popped up with an unremarkable message that read:

[Instance Letter has been cleared.]
