"No way? For several days in a row, our disciples have been guarding the outside of the Nanhu International Community, not leaving for a moment! Even at night, some disciples have been keeping watch all night long, but there is no trace of Gao Jianfei! This... is strange, very strange. He can't have been hiding in the community all this time, can he?" Luo Yangzi's face was extremely ugly.
One of the lay practitioners frowned and asked, "Fellow practitioners, is it possible that Gao Jianfei has indeed slipped away and left ZG City?"
"Absolutely not!" Luo Huazi said gloomily. "How could that be? The main roads of ZG City have been completely blocked by us! The Nanhu International Community is under our close surveillance. Gao Jianfei isn't a god, how could he leave ZG City? Junior brothers, don't think too much about it. That kid must be hiding like a coward! Ha, very good. Since he's so cowardly and hiding, we'll stake out and wait for him. Let's have a test of endurance! I want to see if this gambling god of the secular world can hide forever! I don't believe he can stay away from gambling and social engagements forever!"
Gao Jianfei slept fully clothed all night. The next morning, he woke up groggily, and as soon as he opened his sleepy eyes, he hurriedly turned on the virtual display screen to scan…
Great! Your exorcism points have been restored to 5600!
"Snap!" Gao Jianfei was overjoyed. He snapped his fingers and with a single thought... "Enter the Ghost's Den!"
In the den of ghosts.
"Dear user, welcome to your haunted home. How may I help you?" the AI program's voice inquired.
Gao Jianfei said urgently, "Didn't I ask you to find a level 3 ghost with strong medical skills for me in the database last time? You found one, but it requires 5500 exorcism points. I was severely short of exorcism points at the time, so I gave up. Now, I've finally saved up enough exorcism points. Without further ado, immediately help this level 3 ghost with strong medical skills!"
"Yes, as you wish, my dear user!" The voice of the intelligent program remained as loyal as ever.
Soon, crackling radio waves appeared on the virtual display screen.
At the same time, the AI program's voice sounded again, "Dear user, please wait a moment. I must tell you that the Level 3 Healer is a fictional character. He is obsessed with medicine and possesses unparalleled medical skills. His achievements are not limited to medical skills; he also has some self-realizations on the path of medicine. He has authored two medical books, which are the essence of his life's medical expertise! He suffered an accident in his childhood when his family was killed by his enemies, which led to his eccentric and withdrawn personality. He is skilled in treating internal injuries and poisoning, and enjoys a great reputation in the so-called 'martial arts world' of that fictional novel! Later, however, he died at the hands of his enemies."
"Huh? Who is this?" Gao Jianfei asked, puzzled.
Three minutes later, the jumbled radio waves on the virtual display disappeared, replaced by a ghost message!
Gao Jianfei stared intently, then couldn't help but gasp... "Ah? It was him! Impressive, impressive!"
Then, Gao Jianfei's heart trembled with excitement... "Damn! With this Level 3 Medical Skill, I will gain immense fame, respect, wealth, and status, both in the secular world and in the so-called internal martial arts circle!"
Chapter 227 Hu Qingniu
Chapter 227 Hu Qingniu
It cost 5500 exorcism points to summon a level 3 ghost with strong medical skills!
Gao Jianfei stared intently at the ghost information on the virtual display screen and immediately understood... It was him!
The document clearly described...
Ghost name/Ghost level/Ghost origin/Gender/Special skills in life/
Hu Qingniu / 3 / The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Butterfly Valley Healer / Male / Internal Strength (Town Level), Medical Skill (Intercontinental Level)
"Intercontinental-level medical skills?" Gao Jianfei's brain instantly went blank!
Previously, among Level 2 ghosts, the highest-level skills they had ever seen were only at the national level! For example, Feng Heng's national-level memory; Ke Zhen'e's national-level hearing. But now, Hu Qingniu's achievements in medicine have clearly surpassed the concept of 'national'! They have ercontinental!
To give an analogy, "national level" refers to a specific country where the skill has reached its peak; while "intercontinental level" is a concept similar to Asia, Oceania, and Europe!
In fact, the doctor 'Hu Qingniu' in the martial arts novel did have a great reputation! He was known for refusing to treat those who were dying, but once he took action, even the most difficult and complicated diseases, or even terminal illnesses, could be cured with his 'medicine'!
His nickname is... Butterfly Valley Healer! He'd rather die than save someone!
Moreover, Hu Qingniu is exceptionally skilled in treating poison and internal injuries! After all, he is half a martial arts practitioner, treating people in the martial arts world, and he deals with all kinds of poison, sword wounds, and internal injuries every day!
This perfectly aligns with Gao Jianfei's desire to gain fame and respect within the internal martial arts community!
"Dear user, do you need to immediately assemble the ghost of the Level 3 Ghost Hu Qingniu?" the AI program's voice asked.
Gao Jianfei quickly replied, "Absolutely! We'll assemble it right away!"
The intelligent program immediately obeyed, and a progress bar instantly covered Hu Qingniu's information on the virtual display screen.
The AI program said, "Dear user, you will be able to meet Hu Qingniu in room 3-2 of the Ghost Den in about 2...3 days!"
To piece together Hu Qingniu's soul, a greater number of exorcism points are needed, making it impossible to complete in a day like piecing together Mu Wanqing's soul.
"Okay, I'll wait!" Gao Jianfei glanced at his current exorcism points; he only had 100 left. There was nothing he could do but wait for a few days.
"Okay. Then I'll leave Ghost Den for now. I'll re-enter when I have enough time. By the way, starting today, I'm preparing to launch a large-scale series of level 4 and 5 missions in D City." Gao Jianfei said to the intelligent program, and then with a thought, he left Ghost Den.
Gao Jianfei's refuge in D City wasn't simply about piecing together ghosts and hiding away doing nothing. He also had tasks to earn experience points and try to upgrade the software as soon as possible.
It was still early, just past 8 a.m. Gao Jianfei calmly washed up, took out a packet of instant noodles and two hard-boiled eggs from the ghost den for breakfast. After breakfast, Gao Jianfei made himself a cup of tea, crossed his legs, and sat in a chair in his ground-floor living room. He said to the AI program, "Alright, start the mission! First, use my location as the center and radiate outwards for 10 kilometers. Level 4 and 5 missions. Missions below level 4, such as level 2 and 3 missions, are not needed."
To upgrade to level 4 Exorcist, you need a full 100 experience points. The experience points earned from level 2 and 3 quests are simply too little, so 'Xing' ignores quests of that level.
"Yes, esteemed user," the intelligent program's voice replied faithfully.
Five minutes later, the AI program said with a hint of regret, "Dear user, there are no deceased individuals within a 10-kilometer radius who have issued Level 4 or Level 5 missions."
“I understand.” Gao Jianfei stood up immediately. “Then, I’ll go for a walk around the city today. As we walk, you can write down any level 4 or 5 quests you find. When we get home tonight, I’ll pick some of the quests you’ve written down and accept them. Is that alright?”
“You can do that, my esteemed user,” the intelligent program said solicitously.
After reaching an agreement, Gao Jianfei immediately went to the ghost den and retrieved a set of clothes he had bought at Renhe Spring Department Store after arriving in D City. After tidying up his home, Gao Jianfei shook off his recent dejected state and transformed into a handsome and charismatic young man!
Gao Jianfei carried a Feige men's crossbody bag and went out with his hands in his pockets.
We took a suburban bus directly to the city.
The bustling and prosperous city center, with its throngs of people, perfectly reflects the prosperity and development of D City.
Gao Jianfei strolled casually through the streets like a successful businessman.
The intelligent program's voice reminded Gao Jianfei, "Dear user, I have activated the task and recording functions. You don't need to pay attention to them. Just keep shopping, shopping extensively and widely. I will automatically record the level 4 and 5 tasks you encounter!"
Gao Jianfei communicates purely through consciousness and intelligent programs. Even if there are pedestrians nearby, he is not worried about being noticed.
“Okay, that makes things easier for me. Uh, right, I’m about to become a divine doctor, so when it comes to missions, I should prioritize those related to medicine. As for missions involving killing, well, I probably won’t accept them casually,” Gao Jianfei said subconsciously.
With the help of the intelligent program, Gao Jianfei simply strolled around and had fun, without having to worry about anything else for the time being.
This shopping trip isn't limited to a specific area; rather, you spend a short time in one area and then immediately take a taxi to another.
In this way, Gao Jianfei traveled all over the entire D city area!
Qingyang District, Jinjiang District, Jinniu District, Chenghua District, Wuhou District, Wenjiang District, Dushan District, Longquanyi District, and Qingbaijiang District.
At first, I was very enthusiastic, but later it was almost purely about traveling! After wandering around a district a few times, I would estimate that the intelligent program had already generated level 3 or 4 missions for that area, and then immediately move on to another district.
By the time he arrived, Gao Jianfei was exhausted!
There were many shops along the way, as well as some bustling antique markets, but Gao Jianfei had no time to visit them; there were also countless fashionable and beautiful young women and girls along the way, but Gao Jianfei had no time to pay attention to them either.
It wasn't until 8 p.m. that we finally managed to cover most of the city of D!
I'm tired, really tired.
The workload is too much!
After a busy day, Gao Jianfei finally took a taxi home. The moment he got home, he was overwhelmed with a warm feeling... Damn, it's so much better to stay at home. Running errands all day is really unbearable!
Back home, Gao Jianfei took out some vegetables and meat from the ghost den, casually stir-fried a few dishes, then took out some canned beer and leisurely drank it.
After finishing dinner, it was already 9 p.m. Gao Jianfei quickly tidied up before entering the Ghost Den.
In the den of ghosts.
"How many level 4 and 5 tasks did you record for me today?" Gao Jianfei asked the AI program directly.
"Dear user, I must say, your work today is quite remarkable! There are indeed deceased individuals in this city who have posted Level 5 missions! And more than one! Compared to your hometown, the mission posting rate is much higher!" the intelligent program said cheerfully.
“Of course. My hometown, ZG City, is just a small city with a population of 3 to 4 million. It would be quite remarkable if it had a few level 4 missions, let alone level 5 missions!” Gao Jianfei said matter-of-factly.
Although there is only one level difference between level 4 and level 5 tasks, the difference in experience points is huge!
A difficult level 4 quest is worth at most 1 experience point; while a difficult level 5 quest can be worth 10 experience points!
Neither of these can be judged by reason!
D City is several times larger than ZG City in terms of territory and population, so the task release rate is naturally much higher.
"So, you know that in a few days, I will be a miracle doctor. Tell me about the level 4 or 5 missions related to medical skills and healing that you will be taking!" Gao Jianfei said first.
I thought to myself, studying medicine is great! Not only can I make a name for myself and gain respect in the internal martial arts community, but I can even use my medical skills to make money and complete tasks. It's like killing many birds with one stone!
"Okay, esteemed user, please look at the large screen!" As the intelligent program spoke, jumbled electrical waves immediately appeared on the virtual display screen showing the taskbar. A few minutes later, the waves disappeared, replaced by several task descriptions…
Level 5 mission...
1. The deceased, Jiang Yingquan
Occupation before death: Driver for the mayor of City D
Cause of death: Illness
The deceased's last wish: Jiang Yingquan was the adopted son of Zuo Qing, the mayor of D City, and was raised by Zuo Qing. Zuo Qing's father suffered from a terminal illness and was tormented by it every day. Jiang Yingquan was deeply worried and prayed to alleviate the suffering of Zuo Qing's father (Jiang Yingquan's godfather) and extend his life by a few years. Jiang Yingquan sought medical treatment everywhere before his death, but he himself died in bed. Alleviating his godfather's suffering and extending his life by a few years would fulfill the deceased's wish.
Mission Reward: 50,000 Exorcism Points
50,000 experience points
2. Deceased: Huo Jianshe
Occupation before death: Senior doctor
Cause of death: Car accident
The deceased's last wish: Thomson, the head of the U.S. Consulate in China's representative office, suffers from a mysterious illness. Huo Jianshe, a renowned Western medicine doctor, has treated Thomson for several courses of treatment, but without improvement. His reputation is tarnished, and he is threatened by a powerful force that warns his entire family will be slaughtered if he doesn't cure Thomson's illness! Under immense pressure, Huo Jianshe one day, in a moment of weakness, crashes his car head-on into a large truck, resulting in his death. If Thomson's strange illness can be cured and the Huo family's safety ensured, the deceased's last wish can be fulfilled.
Mission Arrives: 50,000 Exorcism Points
50,000 experience points
3. Deceased: Zhuge Wei
Occupation before death: Billionaire
Cause of death: Illness
The deceased's last wish: At the advanced age of 60, she had only one son, whom she cherished dearly. Her son, Zhuge Ganen, was adorable and much loved by Zhuge Wei. Unexpectedly, when her son, Zhuge Ganen, was 19, he contracted a strange illness. Despite seeking medical help everywhere, including sending him abroad, nothing worked! After three years of treatment, Zhuge Ganen became increasingly frail, and his condition worsened. Zhuge Wei, heartbroken, fell ill and died with resentment. If Zhuge Ganen's illness could be cured, the Zhuge family was willing to pay a reward of $100 million! Furthermore, this would fulfill Zhuge Wei's last wish.
Quest Reward: 24,000 Exorcism Points
24,000 experience points
"Dear user, these are the Level 5 medical missions for the entire city of D," the AI program's voice said. "The patients involved in these missions are either suffering from intractable diseases that have been difficult to cure or terminal illnesses. Therefore, the missions are extremely difficult. Would you like to accept these three Level 5 missions?"
Chapter 228 Killing Uncle Yao!
Chapter 228 Killing Uncle Yao!
Three level 5 tasks, with a total experience value of 124,000!
Undeniably, this is an extremely valuable experience point! Upgrading the Super Ghost Device software will play a crucial role!
