All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

[You eliminated one of the guardians of the Land of Dead Souls and gained a new identity: Underworld Envoy.]

[You have been upgraded to Lv23, your agility attribute has increased by 1 point, your physique attribute has increased by 1 point, your mental attribute has increased by 1 point, and your portable space capacity has increased by 3 cubic meters.]

After the super fierce ghost was eliminated, a light screen notification message of the extraordinary game appeared in front of Wang Zhifan, letting him know that his fighting from night to day was not in vain.

"I was actually rewarded with a new identity... Since I became an SVIP player, I have never encountered such a thing again...

I also leveled up three times in a row. It seems that this dungeon without settlement rewards can be used to gain experience."

The new type of reward surprised Wang Zhifan. He then focused his attention on the word "Underworld Envoy" and read the relevant detailed information.

【Underworld Envoy】

【Type: Identity. 】

[The Underworld Envoy is the honorable messenger of the Underworld. Only those who are recognized by the Underworld can obtain this extremely rare status.]

[As a Hades Messenger, you can summon thousands of ghosts and command all demons. Even the Ghost King tends to obey your orders.

In addition, you can communicate with the netherworld and those who have died long ago.

Even at a small cost, they bring the souls of the dead back to the human world from the underworld. 】

"According to the description, the Hades Envoy has the ability to summon and control ghosts, communicate with yin and yang, and revive the dead...

It's very powerful and useful, but it feels a bit out of touch with my profession as a swordsman...

But it’s definitely a good thing to have this identity.”

After thinking for two seconds, Wang Zhifan was sure that his harvest this time was of very high quality, and theoretically it would greatly improve both his combat and non-combat capabilities.

For example, when he is fighting, he can rely on his identity as a ghost messenger to summon a ghost king to help, which will definitely give the enemy a hard time.

When gathering intelligence, one can use the ability to communicate between yin and yang to obtain valuable information from the dead.

Not to mention resurrecting the dead. Even if it requires a little price, being able to bring the dead back to life is still a very powerful ability.

"The introduction to the Underworld Envoy status says that only those who are recognized by the Underworld can obtain the Underworld Envoy status. Does that mean that after I killed the super female ghost just now, the Underworld recognized me?
According to the notification information from the Extraordinary Game, this super female ghost is one of the so-called guardians of the Land of Dead Souls. It seems that killing it is a test. It is estimated that the power of the underworld was the one that was supporting it before.

I have to quickly find the other guardians of the dead souls and squeeze them dry!"

After receiving the high-quality rewards, Wang Zhifan did not become complacent, but realized that there was still a lot of money to be made in this copy.

After all, he had just killed one guardian of the Land of Dead Souls. Wouldn't it be great if he killed all the other guardians?
So he didn't rest for a moment and immediately began to determine the location of the other defenders.

However, when it came to the specific method, he just wanted to perform a grand ritual, but then he remembered that he was already a messenger of the underworld, and there was no need to use the low-end method of a mere shaman.

So he used his mind to try to communicate with the underworld, wanting the underworld to directly tell him the information he wanted to know.

But after a period of effort, he gradually sensed the majesty and terror of the underworld. It seemed to be some kind of profound concept that spanned many worlds and was not an existence that a mere underworld messenger could dispatch at will. So he settled for the next best thing and summoned a local ghost king.

As his thoughts progressed, an extremely powerful evil energy suddenly surged out from the ground in the air in front of him, and in the blink of an eye condensed into the image of a three-meter-tall female ghost in red.

This female ghost was somewhat similar in appearance to the super fierce ghost he had killed before, but the appearance of the red-clothed ghost king in front of him was not particularly scary.

Apart from her dark eyes, pale complexion, long nails and feet that don't touch the ground, she looks more like a young woman with a cold and elegant temperament.

Although he was three meters tall overall, he still exuded a huge evil aura that was almost materialized.

As soon as this local ghost king appeared, Wang Zhifan established a subtle spiritual connection with it. This is a special ability brought by the identity of the underworld messenger, which allows him to communicate with ghosts easily.

"Do you know how many guardians there are in the Land of Dead Souls? Where are they?"

Raising his head slightly and looking directly at the powerful ghost king in front of him, Wang Zhifan asked it this in the mental channel.

"Three...I...South...West..."

The powerful female ghost in red immediately answered him in his mind with a gloomy and steady voice, and said that she was one of the guardians, and the other two were in other locations.

"Oh my god... they actually summoned the real master directly..."

For a moment, Wang Zhifan felt a little speechless. He didn't expect that the person he summoned casually was the target he wanted to kill. This made him feel a little embarrassed.

So he thought for a moment and said:
"Please tell me in detail the locations of the other two garrisons. I have something to discuss with them."

But the red-clothed female ghost seemed to see through his thoughts and responded directly in the spiritual channel:

"Underworld Envoy... do not kill the guards... otherwise... the Underworld will punish you... remove your identity... and drag you into the netherworld..."

The way it spoke in the mental channel was quite different from that of humans. It was intermittent but concise. Just a few words put together allowed Wang Zhifan to understand the whole meaning.

"Is this happening?"

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and quickly mobilized the power of his identity as a ghost messenger to contact the underworld.

It was a very special connection. Although the underworld was not a place where living beings would not answer him, he did feel the basic rules passed down from the underworld, the rules that prohibited internal fighting among high-level officials, and violators would be severely punished.

“Good fellow… you gave me the status of a Hades Envoy just to bribe me? You told me not to cause trouble in this land of dead souls? Or you want me to be beaten by the iron fist of the mighty power of the underworld? The extraordinary game was started by you in the underworld, right?”

At this moment, Wang Zhifan was completely speechless. He realized that the game of transcendence was really complicated. The underworld must be involved in it and had specially devised ways to hinder him.

"I have the support of the true God behind me! Who is afraid of me?"

Having been tricked, Wang Zhifan naturally thought of fighting back. He remembered that he possessed the mythical guardian spirit, Suzaku, and perhaps he could fight off the so-called punishment from the underworld.

But the impulse lasted only a moment, and reason quickly took over his brain, allowing him to calm down and analyze the pros and cons.

"If I ignore my status as a Hades Envoy and go against the Underworld, killing as many people as I can in the Land of Dead Souls, I will lose my status as a Hades Envoy and be punished by the Underworld. I should be able to survive with the protection of the guardian spirit Suzaku and my own strength, and then receive other high-level rewards from the Extraordinary Game, which will probably be various excellent and epic equipment related to spirits and ghosts..."

"If I accept the arrangement of the underworld, I won't be able to expect to get any other high-level rewards in the next month. I can only kill the little ghosts that the underworld doesn't value. The survival missions in the dungeon can be completed very easily, but the income will stop..."

Comparing the two, Wang Zhifan found that there was a difficult mode and a simple mode in front of him.

The difficult mode definitely has greater risks, but the benefits will be greater, although not necessarily the high-level benefits he wants.

The simple mode is simple in the literal sense. His identity as a Hades Messenger is enough to allow him to walk around freely in the Land of the Dead. He can even sleep for a month without any problem. However, he doesn't need to think about the good returns and is destined to waste the rest of the month.

It is difficult to say which choice is the most appropriate, because no one knows what rewards will be obtained in the end if you abandon your identity as a Hades Messenger and kill as many people as you can, or how you will be punished by the underworld. Without complete information, you can only take your chances.

Wang Zhifan pondered over this issue for a while and quickly made a decision, that is, don't rush to make a decision, after all, there is still a lot of time left in the copy.

"Perhaps I can adopt another strategy, such as guiding other players to eliminate the guardians, and then I can take away their rewards. Wouldn't that perfectly avoid the punishment of the underworld and continue to get a lot of rewards?"

A thought flashed through his mind, and Wang Zhifan realized that players were a good thing. They could help him skip difficult choices and achieve the best of both worlds.

"Oh, right? NPC power is also crucial. The players may not be strong enough to deal with the defenders, but if we arrange them to work together with powerful NPCs, won't the problem of strength be solved?"

The more Wang Zhifan thought about this perfect strategy, the more he felt that the plan was feasible. His frown immediately relaxed and he felt more cheerful.

He then learned the locations of each garrison and other powerful ghosts with the summoned Red Ghost King, wrote down the necessary information, and ended the meeting.

Then he prepared to carry out the plan of using a knife to kill the devil, but before starting the plan, he reviewed his latest panel, because he had killed one of the guardians not long ago and was promoted three levels, so the change in the panel was not small.

After checking from beginning to end, his current gains in this dungeon mainly include the following items: the title of hermit, the identity of the underworld messenger, attribute improvements brought by level increase, and several equipment obtained by beating monsters and killing players.

The title of Hermit has little presence here, and Wang Zhifan has not made much use of it yet.

The Hades' identity is very powerful, but it brings great limitations to his performance in the current copy.

Raising his level to Lv23 didn't improve his attributes much, only three or four points in total.

But it is worth noting that since he was promoted to Lv20, the mental attribute plus one has appeared twice along with the upgrade, which shows that the mental attribute of the swordsman profession in the later stage is not low.

The equipment harvest seemed pretty good, with some epic and some outstanding, but Wang Zhifan was actually not satisfied.

Because the things he obtained were dispensable to him and could not provide him with much help. Overall, they were not as useful as the identity of a Hades Envoy.

After this, Wang Zhifan officially set off and began looking for other players and NPCs in the Land of Dead Souls, gradually carrying out his plan.

He used his lightness skills to travel through the land of dead souls and encountered countless ghosts along the way, but no ghost ever attacked him. All ghosts kept their distance from him, reflecting the power of his identity as a ghost messenger.

Standing high in the sky at this time, at the entrance and exit of the Land of Dead Souls, he suddenly discovered several NPCs who looked familiar.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that they were the people he had seen in the underground palace last night: a muscular middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit, a man in a green military uniform, a tomb robber in black, a middle-aged woman in white, and the body of a young man in Western clothes who was placed in a green jade coffin and dragged out by several little ghosts.

"These people are actually still alive? They even brought the jade coffin and the body of the possessed young man to the exit? They are indeed indigenous masters, their ability to survive far exceeds my expectations!"

Originally, Wang Zhifan thought that after he took away the group's sophisticated equipment, they would all disappear into the Land of Dead Souls and be destroyed by all kinds of ghosts and monsters.

But the truth was that he had underestimated them. He didn't know what method they used or whether they had other trump cards, but they actually walked out of the dangerous land of dead souls.

"It is certain that these people are all talented. We must find a way to have them join forces with other players and help them defeat the guarding ghost king."

Thinking in his mind, Wang Zhifan approached these people who were about to leave the Land of Dead Souls in an invisible state, then fixed his eyes on the stiff body of the young man in the jade coffin and used the ability of his identity as a ghost messenger.

He tried to communicate with the dead man and tried to summon his soul, but he did not see the complete soul. Instead, he found the broken remains of the dead man, which were the remnants left after the dead man's soul was devoured by zombies.

"As long as a price is paid, the Hades Envoy can revive the dead. The price I need to pay is 200 years of life... It's too easy!"

Generally speaking, no one is willing to sacrifice their own lifespan to bring someone back to life, but Wang Zhifan is different. He has long been immortal, and reducing his lifespan is equivalent to nothing happening to him. He can do it without any burden. (End of this chapter)
