Chapter 118: Missions and Rewards!
"Thank you!"
Now that she knew it was Lin Yu who saved her, she naturally wanted to express her sincere gratitude. Without Lin Yu, she didn't even dare to imagine what would have happened.
"It's nothing."
"What may be a small matter to you is a great favor to me. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Well, I happen to have a small favor that I need your help with, you could call it a task, and there's a reward for it."
Lin Yu was waiting for Ming Yanwei to say those words.
"Just tell me what you can do."
A mission? A reward? Ming Yanwei was a little curious, but even without a reward, she would still help, after all, Lin Yu had done her a great favor.
"Our captain, Zheng Zha, as you can see, is very strong, but he still needs to grow in many aspects, so I need you to help him in this regard."
"Growth? What should you do?"
Ming Yanwei inquired.
"Afterwards, Zheng Zha should obtain an item that can deal with vengeful ghosts. I want you to guide those three young people to take the item away, so that Zheng Zha will know the wickedness of human nature."
In the original story, Ming Yanwei would have done this anyway, firstly because she was determined to die, and secondly because she was disappointed in men. However, now, without the experience of the original story, Ming Yanwei probably wouldn't have done this. The betrayal of these three strangers is very important to Zheng Zha's growth, so it cannot be omitted.
[Obtained an item to fight off a vengeful ghost? Another prophecy? Amazing!]
"no problem."
After marveling at Lin Yu's prowess, Ming Yanwei readily agreed. This matter was simple for her; she could tell what kind of personalities those three young people had at a glance, and she could easily manipulate them.
"But aren't you afraid the captain will be angry if he finds out you're treating him like this?"
Having experienced it firsthand, Ming Yanwei understands that betrayal is the hardest thing to accept. If it is a betrayal orchestrated by someone else, she will also feel angry at the person who manipulated her.
"I might be slightly annoyed, but it won't have a big impact, and besides, he might not even know."
After all, it's Zheng Zha. Even if he knew, he would only complain at most.
"I see."
Since Lin Yu said so, Ming Yanwei was no longer worried.
"Oh, right, this is for you."
Lin Yu took out a ring and handed it to Ming Yanwei.
"What is this?"
When a man hands a ring to a woman, it's usually a proposal, but Ming Yanwei knew that this was obviously impossible.
"Of course it's a reward; the mission still carries a certain degree of danger."
"This ring is a defensive piece of equipment that can withstand incoming attacks, including those from vengeful spirits."
This ring is a high-level defensive artifact, and a rather special one at that, because its defensive shield is not ordinary true defense, but rather a defense that releases the "Golden Light Mantra". In terms of defensive power, it is not much different from other defensive artifacts, but the "Golden Light Mantra" is very effective against demons and monsters, so it is very suitable for this world. It was specially made by Ma Xianhong when Lin Yu left the world of one person.
It was originally intended for Zhan Lan, but Ming Yanwei might be in danger while doing this mission, so I gave it to her first. Anyway, I made more than one.
"Give it to me ahead of time?"
Ming Yanwei looked at the ring with delight.
With equipment capable of withstanding attacks from vengeful ghosts, Ming Yanwei's ability to survive has greatly increased, so how could she not be happy?
"The vengeful ghost could attack at any time. If I don't give you something to protect your life, you might lose your life before you even finish your mission."
This is just one reason. Since Ming Yanwei doesn't have the original story, she shouldn't become a ticking time bomb, which greatly increases her potential for development. After all, her talent is indeed quite good, and it would be a pity if she died easily.
Lin Yu would certainly not be stingy with a high-level magic weapon for someone of value.
"Thank you very much!"
Ming Yanwei sincerely thanked them. Regardless of the reason, she was naturally grateful to have received something that could save her life.
The next day at noon, everyone gathered in Zheng Zha's room. Although they had slept well, no one was in good spirits. After all, the evil spirit could attack at any time, and no one could sleep peacefully.
"Good, it seems we are all alright. Today is the second day. As long as we hold on until the end of the seventh day, we will be able to return to the Main God Space alive."
Zheng Zha is talking naively again. If he were even slightly sober, he wouldn't think he could get through these seven days so easily.
"Nothing's wrong? I doubt it."
Zhao Yingkong sneered, then began to talk about the information she had found online. There had been two murder cases from yesterday to today, with several people dying, and the deaths were very gruesome, unlike ordinary deaths. The identities of these people could not be found, so they were most likely the newcomers who left yesterday.
Upon hearing Zhao Yingkong's words, everyone's expression changed drastically, and the three passersby trembled with extreme fear.
Zheng Zha took a deep breath, then took out some pistols and spirit bullets from his pouch and distributed them to everyone.
"Don't hurt people indiscriminately. I don't want to fight the police while hiding from ghosts. Although killing a team member will deduct a thousand reward points, I don't mind tying you up and putting you in a dark place. If the ghosts kill you, it won't be my fault."
Seeing the three passersby excited about getting the pistol, Zheng Zha immediately threatened them.
Upon hearing this, the three passersby trembled and immediately became obedient.
Giving weapons to a trio of newcomers was undoubtedly a reckless decision. Zero frowned slightly, and Overlord looked at him with a strange expression. The two of them had the most experience and were the least likely to approve of such things, but they had also obtained weapons in the same way in the last horror movie, so it was hard for them to say anything.
After distributing the weapons, Zheng Zha took out a stack of talismans and handed them to everyone. These were the malice protection talismans he had exchanged after watching his first horror movie. They could warn of supernatural ghosts and monsters. He hadn't used them in the second horror movie, but now they were coming in handy.
"Next, let's go check out the nearby temples and shrines. Maybe we can find a priest or some items that can deal with ghosts."
The information Zhao Yingkong found online made Zheng Zha realize that Ju-on would eventually attack them, and they couldn't just stay in the hotel; they had to find a way to deal with it.
The veterans, including Zhan Lan, naturally supported Zheng Zha's decision, but the newcomers didn't seem to care much. It was as if having guns and spirit bullets meant they no longer needed to fear evil spirits.
Ming Yanwei said she was going shopping for clothes. She glanced at the three passersby and they immediately offered to protect her. Zhao Yingkong wanted to continue monitoring the network, and only Qi Teng was willing to follow Zheng Zha.
Zheng Zha was helpless, but he still let them go.
Seeing this, Lin Yu sighed inwardly. Zheng Zha was indeed doing a terrible job as captain. It was one thing for a newcomer like Zhao Yingkong to talk back to him, but he didn't even respect the three newcomers from the random group. It was really hard to know what to say.
Oh well, it won't be long before Zheng Zha understands that he can't be too lenient with newcomers.
