Global Horror: With My Netherworld Trillions, Game On!

Chapter 25 - Offline Transactions! Lin Yu's Contemplation!



The simplest method… was to survive!

Yes, survive!

As long as one could endure two or three dungeons without dying, most people would develop spiritual energy and awareness due to prolonged contact with ghosts and the Ghost Realm!

For example, the bearded uncle Lin Yu encountered earlier was like this!

Although he was not yet a first-level ghost controller, he had already developed some spiritual awareness and energy!

However, this seemingly simplest method was actually quite difficult!

Relying on the meager spiritual awareness generated by oneself, how easy is it to survive in a horror dungeon against ferocious ghosts?

From the official guide, Lin Yu learned that…

Aside from the first batch of beta testers whose information was unclear and were suspected to have all perished…

the second, third, and fourth batches of beta testers globally numbered one hundred, one thousand, and ten thousand, respectively!

Additionally, with today’s updated information, the fifth batch of testers had reached a whopping one hundred thousand!

Most of them fell in the first and second dungeons!

It was virtually impossible to survive more than three dungeons without activating spiritual awareness!

Most ghost handlers, or those who awaken spiritual awareness, only activate their potential in life-and-death situations, becoming ghost controllers or forcibly contract with a ghost or Yin artifact before awakening spiritual awareness or energy.

Of course, both mainstream methods came with a heavy price!

Thus, the guide subtly hinted that… if one joined the official organization, they could provide some harmless and mild “items” to help awaken spiritual awareness!

However, Lin Yu speculated that the items provided by the officials were likely mass-produced,

and their effectiveness was definitely not as good as his Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine!

“Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine… I’ve had two bottles. I can still drink one more…

“To subdue Zhu Jiang, I’ve used three bottles… Now, I still have four!”

Looking at the Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine in his inventory, Lin Yu’s thoughts stirred.

The next four bottles of Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine might serve an even better purpose!

Thinking this, Lin Yu turned his attention to the other two sections of the forum.

The discussion area allowed everyone to speak, but they must adhere to the forum rules,

and most of the posts are shared experiences and insights from ghost handlers and horror game players,

such as which ghosts in a dungeon were particularly vicious, how to quickly find a ghost’s killing rules, how to get along with one’s contracted ghost, and so on…

Of course, the hottest posts tonight were all about the reopening of the fifth beta test!

“I encountered fifth batch players tonight… There really seem to be a hundred thousand in this batch!”

“Yeah, but the survivors are probably less than fifty thousand!”

“I wonder how many new talents we will see from Xia Country this time…”

“I heard that the ghostly energy and spiritual energy are recovering faster in various places, and with a hundred thousand in the fifth test, it’s becoming increasingly concerning!”

Lin Yu casually glanced at these discussions, feeling they lacked substance.

While some of these posts might sound shocking, they were likely exaggerated or completely fabricated.

The rules against spreading rumors did exist, but defining and identifying rumors was inherently difficult!

Thus, Lin Yu browsed briefly before heading to the release area!

The posts in the release area require approval.

The content consists of various “trades” and “bounties”!

This part piqued Lin Yu’s interest!

“Looking to buy five premium Yin jade! Cash or gold accepted!”

“Selling a broken Maoshan Five Thunder Talisman! Accepting gold or cash, can trade for equivalent Yin material!”

“Long-term acquisition of cultivation methods!”

“I’ve cleared two horror dungeons, looking for a team! Female, attractive!”

“Buying dungeon directional cards!”

One post after another made Lin Yu quite pleased!

Sure enough, his guess was right!

This forum had trading functions!

Items obtained from horror dungeons that he didn’t need… could be exchanged with others or even directly sold for money!

The first thing that came to Lin Yu’s mind was the Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine!

That item, diluted, would probably be much better than what the No. 9 Investigation Center could offer to awaken spiritual awareness!

Exchanging for some materials he could use would greatly increase his survival chances in the next dungeon!

Not only that…

Lin Yu looked around his living space.

Although it was clean and tidy, it wasn’t spacious or upscale!

In this world, without parents to rely on, he couldn’t become a professional copywriter or trade Bitcoin, and being able to attend college and become self-sufficient was already utilizing the natural advantages of being a transmigrator!

He might as well earn some real-world money to improve his living situation!

Moreover… besides the Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine, Lin Yu thought of other ways to make money!

That would be the Yin energy copper coins and ghost money!

However, those Yin energy copper coins were so astonishing to the ghosts…

If he took out too many at once, he would inevitably attract the attention of the Xia authorities!

So, Lin Yu still felt he should pay more attention in the horror dungeons, buying Yin materials with Yin energy copper coins, then reselling them in reality!

Of course, selling a few dozen to ease financial pressure wouldn’t be a problem!

However…

Looking at those “trading methods,” Lin Yu felt a bit hesitant!

Most of these people’s trades were conducted “offline”!

Cash in hand, goods in hand!

After all, many items infused with Yin energy weren’t suitable for express delivery!

He had no disguise and carried secrets…

Even though he wasn’t afraid of Zhu Jiang being coveted by others, Lin Yu didn’t want to attract unnecessary trouble!

“If only there was a venue that was inherently hidden…” Lin Yu murmured to himself.

Just as he finished speaking…

A new post appeared in the release area!

The poster… was actually the official account of the forum!
