All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

The cold moonlight penetrated the dark air. Wang Zhifan walked alone in the land of dead souls in the dark night, feeling a little lost.

Half an hour has passed since he came in and waved his sword to drive away many ghosts.

During this half hour, he walked through a large area, but he only saw large areas of barren land along the way. He did not encounter any ghosts that dared to approach him, nor did he encounter any other NPCs or players. There was no trace of the ruined temple he was looking for.

"It looks like another boring copy...Xiaohong, play a song for me."

Feeling bored, Wang Zhifan then raised his left arm and spoke to the super smart watch on his left wrist, which was the one he brought out from the urban planet and was loaded with his exclusive AI assistant Xiaohong.

"Captain, I'm glad you finally remembered me. I'll play the classic song 'Girl Driving a Spaceship' for you now. If you're not satisfied with the song, you can change it at any time."

The smart watch he was wearing immediately projected a very small image of a little girl in red who responded to him, and then a song with the characteristics of Urban Planet Entertainment played its soulful prelude.

"I'm sorry, Xiaohong, I indeed forgot about you before. From now on, you can freely explore the outside world and make statistics. If you find anything worth noting, please remind me at any time."

Wang Zhifan felt a little embarrassed by Xiaohong's teasing. He had almost forgotten about the AI ​​running on the smart watch after obtaining it. He probably wasn't mentally prepared to have an AI assisting him all the time.

"No need to apologize, Mr. Captain. It is my highest duty to carry out your instructions."

The light and shadow image of AI Xiaohong immediately responded, and then the light and shadow figure disappeared. The entire smart watch no longer emitted a trace of light, but there was a faint regular slight vibration, as if it had entered a high-power operation mode.

Wang Zhifan knew that Xiaohong had begun to use the detection function of the super smart watch to investigate the surroundings.

As his exclusive AI, Xiaohong would never act on his own unless he was in a life-and-death crisis. This was why Xiaohong had not shown any reaction to the outside world before.

"Girl! Beautiful girl! You are an angel flying in the sea of ​​stars..."

"I want to fly with you in a spaceship... over the hottest stars... over the vastest voids..."

"Even if we fall into a black hole, we will never separate..."

……

As the songs from the Urban Planet singers continued to be broadcast, Wang Zhifan continued to walk in the Land of Dead Souls under the moonlight.

Even though the song didn't quite fit the current situation, he didn't ask for a change of song. After all, he just wanted to listen to something to relieve his boredom.

He continued walking like this for about ten minutes, and AI Xiaohong played the fourth song for him, but he still didn't find anything interesting around him, and an idea came to his mind.

"How about asking a shaman to divine the location of the powerful ghosts and then go to them directly?"

As a person who always has a clear purpose in doing things, when he couldn't find the target in the free search mode, he planned to turn on the active mode. Otherwise, instead of continuing to waste time, he might as well stop and practice.

So he then took out the incense, candles and bloodwood sword from the space ring one by one, preparing to practice the shamanic ritual that came with his identity as a sorcerer for the first time.

The most basic version of this ritual requires sticking a stick of incense on the ground, smearing dust on the face of the shaman, and then the shaman starts a crazy performance with singing and dancing, communicating yin and yang and divination to get information related to ghosts and monsters.

However, Wang Zhifan currently has not only incense, but also candles and bloodwood swords, so he doesn't need to use the most basic version and can choose the advanced version of the shaman dance.

The advanced version of the shaman dance requires at least three incense sticks to be placed on the ground, and then the shaman dances with a magic tool in one hand and a lit candle in the other.

The dance requires high technical skills. For example, instruments and candles must be thrown continuously and not fall to the ground. The dancers must use highly concentrated minds and superb skills to communicate with heaven and earth to perform divination.

The thing that Wang Zhifan is most satisfied with about this advanced version is that he doesn't have to smear dust on his face, and dancing with a sword in one hand and a candle in the other is more like a normal person, and he doesn't really look like a madman.

He took out three incense sticks from the bundle he had bought and held them in his hand. He then used the Fireball spell from the Mage's Power Box to light them, and then inserted the three incense sticks around himself, forming an equilateral triangle.

He stood in the middle of the triangle formed by three incense sticks, first took out a candle and lit it, then jumped and danced on the spot with the bloodwood sword in one hand and the candle in the other, at the same time mumbling a vague and incomprehensible tune, and asked AI Xiaohong to stop playing the song before singing.

He was a little uncomfortable with this strange divination ritual at first, but fortunately there was no one around, so he gradually relaxed. Not only did he dance more and more smoothly, he also learned by himself how to place a candle on the tip of a wooden sword, pick up a flying candle and catch it accurately, gradually getting into the state.

The reason he could do these things was not because he had learned them before, but because his agility now far exceeded that of ordinary people. His reaction speed, coordination and accuracy were comparable to those of precision machinery. Things that ordinary people might not be able to do even after practice were completely easy for him and not difficult at all.

After dancing like this among the three incense sticks around him for about two minutes, Wang Zhifan began to feel something wonderful.

It was a very blurry and special perspective, as if he had suddenly opened his third eye and could see the location of the most powerful ghost closest to him.

He found two targets in total, one of which was twenty miles away in the north. It seemed to be a barren plain, but a strong evil aura leaked from the ground, indicating that there were very ferocious ghosts underground.

The other one is more than thirty miles east-southeast. It is a brightly lit house standing on the wasteland under the moonlight. The silhouette of a woman combing her hair can be vaguely seen on the window paper of the house. The scene is quite strange.

"Two fierce ghosts. According to the dungeon setting that the more dangerous the ghost, the greater the potential profit, they should be able to bring me very good profits... Then I will deal with them all and go to the north first!"

According to the principle of proximity, Wang Zhifan decided to deal with the fierce ghost in the north first and then fight the female ghost in the southeast.

Of course, before setting off, he did not forget to collect the three incense sticks stuck on the ground, because they still had value for reuse and could support him in performing the ritual several more times.

It has to be said that after experiencing it once, he felt that he had made the right choice in choosing the identity of a sorcerer.

Although the process of the shaman dance made him feel a little embarrassed, the divination effect on ghosts was immediate.

Especially since his current level of shamanism is still relatively elementary, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and he can divine more detailed information about ghosts and monsters.

When Wang Zhifan put away the third incense stick and extinguished it with the power of ice, the smart watch on his left wrist suddenly emitted the voice of a little girl in an admiring tone:

"Mr. Captain, the song and dance you just performed are very creative and reflect your unique spirit! I have recorded them all in the database and suggest that you return to the planet and broadcast them to the public.

According to my data model, there is a 43.72% chance that your support rate will increase after the song and dance is made public, and a 27.19% chance that your support rate will remain the same..." AI Xiaohong talked freely and made its first suggestion to Wang Zhifan, but Wang Zhifan's face darkened and he quickly responded to stop her:

"Delete it! You must delete the data of this song and dance! Xiaohong, you must not let anyone else access it. You must delete it completely!"

"Okay! According to your instructions, all relevant data has been cleared!"

When Xiaohong heard Wang Zhifan's firm order, she immediately carried it out without hesitation, without even a millisecond of hesitation.

"Xiaohong, I may do this again in the future, so you should also not record the data and delete all the relevant information."

After cleaning the data, Wang Zhifan was still worried and emphasized it to Xiaohong again.

This time, Xiaohong also said that she would do it, but being smart, she finally asked Wang Zhifan why he did so and what went wrong with the song and dance.

Wang Zhifan was a little speechless. He realized that although Xiaohong was an artificial intelligence, he was not a human after all, and it was difficult to understand his personal psychology, so he gave this explanation:

"Because this dance involves high-end technology that is strictly confidential, only this captain has the authority to access it. Other relevant information must not be leaked!"

"So that's how it is, Your Excellency the Captain. Xiaohong will resolutely follow your instructions!"

As the man and the AI ​​communicated in this way, Wang Zhifan used his lightness skills to rush to the target location in the north.

With his current level of Wind and Thunder Treading on the Sky Art, he could reach the destination in one breath with a mere twenty miles if he tried his best, but he was not in such a hurry and used the most normal speed to reach the destination.

A situation that left him speechless occurred along the way. That was that the various ghosts that had disappeared without a trace before were actually found on the road, and each of them had its own routine, which made him unable to help but give it a try.

The first ghost he destroyed was a vicious man's head flying in the sky looking for something.

Wang Zhifan saw that the evil spirit attached to it was not small, so he estimated that it was a ruthless character, so he drew out the Qingdi Sword, used his lightness skills to rush towards it, and slashed it with all his strength.

He didn't expect that the man's head was not strong enough to withstand a blow. He was chopped to ashes by his sword and killed instantly. Then, a text prompt of the extraordinary game appeared in front of him:
[If you kill the man's head and then the corresponding woman's head, you will be awarded the title of "Breaking Up the Couple".]

[Breaking up a couple: You hate it most when people show off their affection. When facing two opponents who are in a relationship, your attack has a 70% chance of causing chain damage. If you hit one of them, the other will also suffer the same amount of damage.]

"Killing a ghost can actually unlock the title of Breaking Up a Couple? The effect of this title is not bad, and it will be very useful against special opponents, but there are definitely no ghosts with female heads around me right now, so I'll talk about it later."

Wang Zhifan temporarily gave up on obtaining this title and went to eliminate other non-stuff ghosts he met on the road and obtained other rewards.

For example, after he killed a ghost that was carrying its own coffin and crawling on the ground very quickly with one sword, he actually got an excellent item. The attributes seemed to be quite good, so he put it into his personal space.

[Red Coffin (Excellent)]

[Red coffins often represent happy funerals, and this coffin is no exception.

When you lie in it, all your injuries and illnesses will be suppressed, and you can only die from old age, and cannot be killed by any other means.

But injuries don’t go away, and not treating them quickly can quickly drain your life.

If the red coffin is damaged while you are lying in it, the speed at which your lifespan is consumed will increase significantly.

If the damage is serious, the injuries and pains suppressed by the red coffin will instantly erupt and cause death. 】

In addition to this outstanding item, Wang Zhifan also found two other rare equipment after killing several other ghosts, namely the embroidered shoes and the longevity lock.

【Embroidered Shoes (Rare)】

[When a woman wears this pair of shoes, her running speed can be increased by 20%, and it also comes with a "Charm" skill that can temporarily confuse enemies with a mental attribute below 18 points to stop attacking.]

[When a man wears this pair of shoes, he will gain the "taunt" effect. All enemies whose spiritual attributes are lower than 26 points will have a strong tendency to attack the person wearing these shoes first. This effect is more obvious when the enemy's spiritual attributes are lower.]

【Longevity Lock (Rare)】

[When wearing this accessory, for every year of your actual age, the physical damage you cause increases by 1%, and the physical damage you receive is reduced by 1%.

This equipment can increase the wearer's physical damage by up to 100% and provide 50% physical damage reduction. 】

The above one excellent, two rare and one unfinished title are Wang Zhifan’s unexpected gains along the way.

Although the profit was not that big for him, if other players knew that he could get such a big gain by just a few hacks, they would definitely be drooling with envy.

After that, he didn't find any ghosts or monsters worth attacking on the road, and he rushed all the way to his destination in the north, which was the desolate plain that exuded a strong evil aura.

The information Wang Zhifan had obtained about this place when he was performing shaman dance was rather vague. When he arrived there in person, he immediately discovered that the ground beneath it was a different place. There was actually a huge underground palace, and the fierce ghost that he had predicted during the shaman dance was located in the underground palace.

Moreover, Wang Zhifan's powerful perception also told him another unexpected thing, that is, he was not the only living person in this place at the moment. There was a group of professionals working together in the underground palace, and they were most likely the so-called tomb robbers.

"Good fellow, they even dare to rob such a huge tomb that looks evil at first glance? These NPCs are really skilled and daring...

However, the fact that they chose to rob graves in the Land of the Dead shows that they are not ordinary characters...

I just happened to hide behind them to learn and see the methods of the world's elite tomb robbers."

Originally, Wang Zhifan planned to sneak into the underground to fight the fierce ghost and seize the treasure, but he suddenly changed his mind and chose to hide and follow the tomb robber NPC in the underground palace.

The main purpose is to observe what these people will encounter in the underground palace, whether they can successfully kill the underground ghost, and let him have a mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole is behind. (End of this chapter)
