After tossing and turning for several hours, Gao Jianfei finally fell into a deep sleep.
The second day, the 17th, continued in the same monotonous way.
Eat breakfast, watch TV, go online, chat with Chen Xian and Yan Kui (father and daughter), eat dinner, watch TV, go online, take a shower, go to bed...
After a day of this monotonous program playing on repeat, Gao Jianfei was already feeling quite annoyed.
This is only a few days since he checked into the hotel! If Gao Jianfei were to stay in the hotel for a year or two like this, he might really go crazy!
After tossing and turning in bed for a while, Gao Jianfei drifted off to sleep. When he woke up, it was already 8 a.m. on the 18th!
Gao Jianfei got up, brushed his teeth in the bathroom, and turned on the virtual display screen. He glanced at it and found that Ke Zhen'e's soul had been pieced together! Moreover, the exorcism points consumed had been restored to '220'.
Gao Jianfei was overjoyed. He remained calm and, as usual, had breakfast, chatted, and had lunch with Chen Xian and the others. After lunch, Gao Jianfei, as usual, lied and said he was going to take a nap.
He rushed into the bedroom, hurriedly locked the door, and then went straight into the haunted house.
In the den of ghosts.
"Dear user, the soul of the Level 2 ghost Ke Zhen'e has been pieced together. You can find him in room 2-7! You have gained 1000 exorcism points and 1000 experience points for taking in Ke Zhen'e! Dear user, you did a great job! Please keep up the good work and take in more Level 2 ghosts! Strive to fill the second floor of the Ghost Den with Level 2 ghosts as soon as possible!"
The voice of the intelligent program, loyalty, rang out.
Gao Jianfei was overjoyed and hurried towards the second floor of the Ghost Den. At the same time, he opened his virtual display screen and checked his personal status…
"The Exorcist: Gao Jianfei"
Age: 23
Level: 2
Exorcism points: 220, 5705
Experience: 5700
Experience required to upgrade to Level 3 Exorcist: 94300
Soon, Gao Jianfei arrived at the door of room 2-7 on the second floor of the Ghost Den. The door was still ajar, and he could easily push it open to enter.
Gao Jianfei was very excited and pushed open the door. His right foot was already inside.
The moment Gao Jianfei pushed open the door, he froze...
The room was set in a tavern, complete with wooden tables and chairs, and the air was filled with the aroma of fine wine. But none of this truly surprised Gao Jianfei. What stunned him was... the presence of two ghosts in the room!
One of them was facing Gao Jianfei, holding a wine bowl in his hand, tilting his head back and gulping down the wine. The other had his back to Gao Jianfei, so Gao Jianfei could only see his slightly hunched back and his messy, gray-white hair that was casually draped over his back. On the wooden stool next to him, an iron cane leaned diagonally.
The one facing Gao Jianfei, drinking from a bowl, was none other than Zhu Cong, the first Level 2 ghost Gao Jianfei had taken in!
At this moment, Zhu Cong finished a glass of wine and then shouted, "Brother, I never thought we would meet again here! This is truly a joyous occasion! Come on, let's drink!"
"Haha, Second Brother, the reason we can reunite and drink together is all thanks to our host, Xiao Gao!" The hunched man with his back to Gao Jianfei spoke in an aged voice. He and Zhu Cong clinked glasses, drank their wine in one gulp, and then said, "I hope that all seven of us brothers can gather here. Well, I'll have to plead with Xiao Gao about this later."
"Huh? That figure from behind, is that Ke Zhen'e? Damn, that's amazing! Zhu Cong has already run over to drink with Ke Zhen'e!" Gao Jianfei immediately processed what he was seeing. He found it amusing as he walked towards Zhu Cong and Ke Zhen'e.
Suddenly, Ke Zhen shouted, "Xiao Gao is here? No, no, don't go straight, turn right. I just took a dump about a meter in front of you. If you're not careful, you'll step in it!"
Without turning his head, he gave this reminder.
Gao Jianfei paused, looked around, and sure enough, there was a... a pile of shit about a meter away from him!
Gao Jianfei cursed inwardly... "Damn it, this Ke Zhen'e is such a vulgar person! He urinates and defecates anywhere! Ugh! Ghosts need to excrete too? What the heck! Does that mean a level 2 ghost is superior to a level 1 ghost and can eat, drink, and relieve itself?"
In fact, ghosts that can materialize within a ghost's lair are generally capable of eating, drinking, and relieving themselves. In other words, they are actually quite close to humans within their ghost's lair! However, once they leave the ghost's lair, it's a different story.
As Gao Jianfei pondered this, he followed Ke Zhen'e's instructions and turned right.
Suddenly, Gao Jianfei froze again... Uh, this is too amazing! This Ke Zhen'e is blind. He had his back to me the whole time, but when I approached him, he could tell where I was going, how far I had walked, and how far I was from his pile of shit.
Listen to the wind to pinpoint your location!
Amazing hearing!
Flower market.
In the hotel suite that Hu Zi had booked.
Hu Zi and Wu Youcun sat on the sofa, casually smoking cigars and chatting.
"Hehe, Lao Wu, today is the 18th. In three days, it will be your match against that 'Little Gao'. To be honest, Lao Wu, are you nervous?" Hu Zi asked with a smile.
"Nervous?" Wu Youcun scoffed. "Bearded man, you underestimate me too much! One mere person, and you think I'm nervous? What a joke! Of course, I learned from you that 'Little Gao' is not only skilled in gambling, but also quite good at martial arts. However, that's nothing to be nervous about! No matter how good he is, if he loses the bet, he won't dare to lay a hand on me, nor will he dare to go back on his word! Hmph, the Song family's referee team will be in charge of the betting. If that kid dares to renege on his bet, it's tantamount to directly challenging the Song family's authority! At that time, not only will the World Gambling Association punish him, but the Song family will also wipe out his entire clan! Haha!"
Wu Youcun had already decided that he would win the match against Gao Jianfei. He was already considering the possibility that Gao Jianfei might deny the result if he lost.
"Haha, that's good, that's good." Bearded laughed. "Old Wu, if you win, I'll personally chop off 'Little Gao's' hands. How about that? I love doing this kind of thing! I love the smell of fresh blood, it's so cool, exciting, fun, crazy! Hehe!"
"Go ahead and chop, I don't care," Wu Youcun shrugged nonchalantly.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Just then, one of Wu Youcun's disciples rushed in from outside the suite. He ran up to Wu Youcun and said respectfully, "Master, Brother Beard, the Song family's referee team has arrived in G Province! They are at Huashi Airport, and three senior brothers have already gone to pick them up! Master, would you like to go there yourself?"
"Huh?" Wu Youcun stood up abruptly from the sofa. "It's only the 18th today, and the Song family's referee team has already arrived in G City? That's fast! By the way, how many referees came in total?"
"Master, there's one head referee, five assistant referees, six people in total, and five bodyguards." The disciple recounted all the information he had gathered.
“Alright! I’ll personally go pick them up at the airport!” Wu Youcun said directly. “Hu Zi, let’s go together. You have to understand, the Song family is an international family with a powerful background and influence. Being able to establish a relationship with a member of this family would be incredibly beneficial!”
“Okay, let’s go together!” Beard stood up as well.
So, Wu Youcun and Hu Zi left the suite with beaming smiles.
Wu Youcun was overjoyed...: "Heh, the Song family really gave me face this time! They sent a total of six referees. Hmm, if it weren't for my participation in this match, how could the Song family have sent a full six referees?"
Chapter 103 Song Zhui
Chapter 103 Song Zhui
In rooms 2-7 of the Ghost Den.
Gao Jianfei finally met a Level 2 ghost with exceptional hearing. It was also a top-tier Level 2 ghost... from the Legend of the Condor Heroes, the leader of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, the Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e.
Moreover, Zhu Cong also came from his room to drink and chat with Ke Zhen'e, having a great time.
Gao Jianfei walked to the table and looked at Ke Zhen'e's profile.
To be honest, this old blind man had a rather ferocious appearance; he looked like a villain with a very volatile temper. His eyes had been gouged out, leaving two sunken, dark gray holes, like shriveled raisins—it was terrifying! With just those blind eyes and his face, he could probably scare a child to tears.
"Xiao Gao, thank you so much for bringing me here today, allowing my brother and me to reunite!" Ke Zhen'e said in a heroic tone, "I am so grateful! If there is anything Xiao Gao can do for me, just say the word!"
Gao Jianfei felt a chill run down his spine. Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong, and the others were merely ghosts. If they left the Ghost Den, their sanctuary, they would be essentially meaningless! In other words, only within the Ghost Den could they appear in human form, drink, chat, and relieve themselves. What help could these ghosts possibly offer Gao Jianfei?
It was simply a matter of passing on the skills to Gao Jianfei.
"Of course, of course." Gao Jianfei said politely and modestly for a few moments, then said, "Well then, due to time constraints, I won't chat with Master Ke... uh, that Master Ke any longer today. Now, please, Master Ke, teach me everything you have learned in your life!"
Without waiting for Ke Zhen'e's reply, Gao Jianfei directly instructed the intelligent program, "I want to learn Ke Zhen'e's special skills immediately!"
"As you wish! Super Ghost Instrument, Learning Space Open!"
As soon as the intelligent program finished speaking, Gao Jianfei's environment changed drastically. He went from the tavern-style room to a lush, green hilltop.
The area boasts lush green mountains and clear waters, offering beautiful scenery.
Ke Zhen'e sat on a rock, and Zhu Cong stood beside him with a smile, not leaving.
"Xiao Gao, if you want to learn a few rudimentary skills from the old blind man, he'll teach you right away." Ke Zhen'e smiled.
Zhu Cong smiled and nodded at Gao Jianfei.
Suddenly, Gao Jianfei had a strange feeling... Damn it, Ke Zhen'e and Zhu Cong, they both taught me things, my experience is very similar to Guo Jing's!
While Gao Jianfei was lost in thought, Ke Zhen'e said, "Little Gao, the old blind man's proudest skills are his hearing and his iron dart technique. As for his demon-subduing staff technique, he's rather rusty with it."
Ke Zhen'e's demon-subduing staff technique was only at the city level, and Gao Jianfei disdained to learn it.
"Well, Master Ke, please teach me your hearing skills and your hidden weapon skills," Gao Jianfei said sincerely.
Ke Zhen'e smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Zhu Cong stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky.
Gao Jianfei subconsciously looked up. He saw a clear blue sky with not a cloud in sight, and a flock of wild geese circling and flying about 20 meters above his head.
The flight of geese is incredibly elegant, seemingly gliding, and imbued with a natural law. It's a silent flight, truly light and graceful beyond compare!
Gao Jianfei also sighed inwardly, thinking how beautiful it was!
"Xiao Gao, watch closely!" Just then, Zhu Cong casually picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the air with a "whoosh!" It landed right in the middle of the flock of geese!
Of course, Zhu Cong and the wild geese were 20 meters apart, and Zhu Cong was just throwing stones randomly. Therefore, the accuracy and force of the stones were relatively weak and not enough to knock down any of the wild geese.
However, it can create disturbances among flocks of geese.
Suddenly, a flock of geese were startled, flapping their wings and flying around in a chaotic frenzy!
Just then! Ke Zhen'e, who had been sitting quietly on the rock, suddenly twitched his ears violently a few times! And then…
"call out!"
A metal shard flew out of his hand!
With a "whoosh!", a wild goose in the sky was shot down!
Immediately afterwards, Ke Zhen'e shot another iron spike, and another wild goose fell to the ground!
A tidal wave surged within Gao Jianfei's heart!
"What incredible hearing! What a ruthless technique for launching hidden weapons!"
Undoubtedly, geese fly silently through the air, and Ke Zhen'e, being blind, could not see their flight path before firing the iron spike. Therefore, Zhu Cong threw a stone, creating chaos among the geese and making them emit faint sounds.
Ke Zhen'e used this almost imperceptible sound to quickly and accurately determine the location of some geese, and then shot them down!
A perfect combination of auditory perception and concealed weapon techniques!
That's amazing!
Gao Jianfei couldn't help but shout, "Master Ke, Brother Zhu Cong, I want to learn this!"
"Xiao Gao, if you want to learn, I'll naturally teach you myself!" Ke Zhen'e said with a smile. Then, he directly pulled out a black cloth strip from his pocket. "Come on, Xiao Gao, blindfold yourself, and I'll teach you now!"
Blindfold yourself and train your hearing!
Gao Jianfei did as he was told. After more than five hours of training, Gao Jianfei finally mastered Ke Zhen'e's hearing and hidden weapon skills to the limit.
Regarding hearing, the intelligent program had previously told Gao Jianfei that he was not blind, but his senses could not provide the auditory advantage that Ke Zhen'e possessed. Therefore, while Ke Zhen'e had a national-level hearing ability, Gao Jianfei had only reached the provincial level and made no further progress.
