Chapter 13: Thriller Forum
"Ghost Qi +50, Ghost Coins +500, Paper Money +50, Incense Candle +1, Bone Ring +1, Human Skin Chainsaw +1."
A great harvest!
Up until now, people have become more familiar with the thrilling world, at least when it comes to the novice instances.
Generally speaking, for novice assessments, the reward of Ghost Coins ranges from 10 to 100 points.
Ghost Qi, not only can drive ghostly objects, but also constantly strengthen the owner's body, just like the legendary internal power. It's not easy to obtain it even in formal instances, let alone in assessment instances.
Having Ghost Qi is the difference between experienced players and ordinary novices.
It is said that those who achieved the S-rank years ago only gained 10 points of Ghost Qi and had a significant advantage in the early stages.
As for Alexander, he already had a total of 70 points with the Ghost Qi from triggering his talent twice.
Of course, whether it's Ghost Qi, Ghost Coins, or Paper Money, they are all just small gains. The real value lies in the rewards that follow.
Incense Candle
Grade: Evil ghost
Introduction: A filial child made incense candles from the most precious pair of objects to commemorate his deceased foster mother. The enticing fragrance released when lit can promote the cultivation advancement of evil spirits. When used by oneself, it can grant ten points of Ghost Qi.
A great item!
There's no doubt that it's a treasure. Even experienced players would be eager to have something that can increase Ghost Qi.
Although the introduction is a bit eerie, Alexander is already used to it. He happily collected it and looked at the next item.
Bone Ring
Grade: Evil ghost
Introduction: A love-struck groom worked various jobs to prepare the most beautiful wedding ring for his bride: at a crematorium, hospital, and barbershop... Finally, with his relentless efforts, he found this beautiful bone ring.
Upon use, it can greatly increase the target's favorability.
Gulp!
Alexander swallowed hard, not because the item was particularly valuable.
He had already obtained a graveyard rose that could increase favorability, also at the Evil Spirit grade.
However, this item is clearly more brutal!
The ring was not earned or bought, but found.
Thinking about the sequence of the jobs...
Crematorium, hospital, barbershop...
It was simply terrifying.
Licking his slightly cracked lips, Alexander looked at the last item.
Human Skin Chainsaw
Grade: Ferocious Ghost
Introduction: This item has made its way from abroad, coming from an upwardly mobile family that relied on this tool, soaked in the fresh blood of food.
With at least 100 points of Ghost Power, you can activate the chainsaw, causing terrifying damage to evil spirits.
A Ferocious Ghost grade treasure!
Alexander's eyes widened, looking at the hideous chainsaw in front of him, his hands trembling with excitement.
Vengeful Spirit grade! Even those who have experienced countless trials might not possess it!
The hideous, over one-meter-long chainsaw, its sharp teeth chain covered in dark red matter, exuded a cold, brutal, and terrifying aura.
Alexander even automatically ignored the still terrifying introduction, eager to test the chainsaw's brutality right now.
Unfortunately, first, he had already left the instance, so it was impossible to test it on someone on the street.
Most importantly, to activate this item, it required at least 100 Ghost Qi.
It seems that for the time being, it can only be stored away.
'Should I use the incense candle first?'
Putting away the chainsaw, Alexander thought to himself. After all, it could increase ten points of Ghost Qi, bringing him one step closer to using the chainsaw.
Alexander was very eager to try and experience what it would feel like to transform into a butcher on a rainy night, chasing evil spirits all over the instance with a chainsaw in hand.
However, just as Alexander was putting away all the items and still hesitating, a piece of information suddenly emerged in his mind:
Thrilling World Announcement: Congratulations to the selected user with ID xjbxd44011 for achieving the SSS rating and receiving amazing rewards. This announcement is made to all users as an encouragement!
What?
Announcement?
For a moment, Alexander felt all the hairs on his body stand up, a chill running from his head to his feet.
This announcement? Could it be taken literally?
All the selected users in the Thrilling World can receive this announcement?
The first SSS! Just thinking about it, he must have been targeted by countless people.
At this moment, Alexander really wanted to curse, quickly walking to his computer desk and turning on the bulky desktop computer.
Due to the influence of the Thrilling World, the technology and entertainment in this world are relatively backward, with the internet still in the forum and post bar phase.
Upon opening a popular post bar, a pinned post immediately appeared before Alexander's eyes.
Shocking! A senior player's recorded broadcast reveals the ultimate secret of achieving an SSS rating!
Damn!
Seeing the pinned post, Alexander immediately wanted to curse.
Someone even activated the recording function? That costs Ghost Coins, and only senior players can activate it, with a hefty price tag.
Usually, it's large organizations or the official team that assign people to record some videos.
For example, the one Alexander watched during class was officially recorded.
Unexpectedly, even a casual novice assessment had a senior player recording it. Could it be that guy who lost his arms and nose?
With those Ghost Coins, wouldn't it be better to use them to enhance one's strength?
Next time they meet, he'll make sure to let them taste the power of the human skin face survival tool!
Alexander gritted his teeth in anger and opened the post.
As expected, it was a video about him.
Fortunately, it wasn't a full recording. Obviously, no one could afford the high price of 100 Ghost Coins for ten minutes. They only recorded the parts where he borrowed homework and asked questions. They didn't record the rest, either because they ran out of Ghost Coins or couldn't bother.
"This angle! It's definitely that senior player named Cain!"
Alexander clenched his teeth, closed the video, and started reading the comments below.
Fish_that_eats_dreams: "Oh my god, is this the legendary horror instance? It doesn't seem like what I imagined?"
Person_in_Instance_Thank_You_For_Inviting: "Damn! Can you play the Thrilling World like this? It's so amazing it makes my scalp tingle. Is this person a god? SSS big shot, terrifying!"
DouDou: "In my dying illness, I was shocked to sit up, and I couldn't believe it. Amazing! Broken sound amazing!"
Dark_Night_Butcher: "Unfortunately, the faces, heights, and voices in unconsented recorded videos are all randomly applied from templates..."
Family_Cook: "What do you want, the one above? Don't think using a famous instance boss nickname makes you a real evil spirit."
Dark_Night_Butcher: "None of your business, you're just a spicy cake, do you want to fight?"
I_am_the_Peacemaker: "@Family_Cook, I'm not picking a fight, but with this attitude and temper, I absolutely couldn't stand it if it were me!"
...
Seeing the post bar gradually going off-topic, Alexander shook his head.
It seemed that he couldn't find anything useful here.
The really useful information could only be found in professional places, like the Thrilling Forum.
It is said that this is a world-class forum for Thrilling World players, jointly established by several official organizations and large forces.
Players are what the selected users call themselves, and also a self-mockery.
Not playing, but being played.
This forum includes most Thrilling World players.
To enter, you need to enter a code and scan the Thrilling icon. The information inside is specifically for players and won't be leaked easily.
'If I make up a random code and use the icon to enter, the technology in this world shouldn't be able to trace it back to me, right?'
Looking at the registration page in front of him, Alexander pondered and searched online for the longest code that had appeared, then slowly typed a combination of letters and numbers.
