# Ghost Tower Captured! Fastest Record Broken! #
# Water Blue Star and our civilization share many similarities! #
# An organization called Underworld Ghost Messengers has risen! #
The Ghost Tower Main World.
After the Ghost Tower was subdued and the live stream automatically closed.
The internet in the Main World exploded.
It wasn't the first time the Ghost Tower had been subdued since its deployment to various worlds.
But none had shocked the ghosts as much as this time.
From its deployment to Water Blue Star until its end...
Had it been a week? A month?
This speed,
Even the residents of this world wouldn't dare claim they could achieve it.
Upon the release of this news,
The players of this world who had participated in the Ghost Tower game were instantly ignited with a competitive spirit.
Back then, they had treated it as a game and hadn't tried to break it using Water Blue Star's methods.
If they were to do it again, they were sure they could achieve a higher record!
The top ten players in the Ghost Tower challenge back then also made their statements.
"It's issuing a challenge to us!"
"Water Blue Star, a very good player."
"Hope to have a chance to compete with them."
...
This is a world where everyone is a ghost.
From the moment they gained consciousness, countless buildings of varying heights and shapes existed in the world.
Originally, everyone lived in their own buildings, like separate territories, not interfering with each other.
Until one day,
A sound suddenly echoed through the world.
[Ghost Tower World has been perfected and is now operational!]
From that day on, an invisible network connected all the buildings.
Every day, buildings would be selected to become game worlds.
Players were also randomly drawn from countless buildings.
Then, the entire process was live-streamed, and all ghost citizens could watch the game.
And this became one of the most engaging forms of entertainment for millions of ghost citizens daily.
Later on,
Many ghost citizens began to actively enter the Ghost Tower to participate in the games.
As one Ghost Tower after another was conquered,
Players who had mastered absolute power and authority began to cast their gaze towards places beyond their world.
As long as a seed of the Ghost Tower was planted,
The Ghost Tower would automatically capture various local information and generate game levels.
At that time, they would be able to see more exciting worlds!
"The Ghost Tower's game content should have been updated."
Following Player No. 1's public statement.
The entire world went wild.
From that day on,
The entertainment programs for ghost citizens saw new variations every day.
A grander, more magnificent world unfolded before them.
...
...
"Thank you, Master. I'm leaving, meow~"
Another afternoon,
The mechanical sphere, Naimao, left Jiang Lin after receiving its monthly allowance and disappeared again.
Some time had passed since the last Ghost Tower incident.
Both the human world and the underworld had essentially returned to their usual peaceful lives.
And the gray energy Jiang Lin had lost during the Ghost Tower incident had been replenished twofold through the wish bottle missions in these past days.
He sometimes imagined.
If he had possessed more divine power within him back then, and fused it into gray power.
Could he have directly blown up the Ghost Tower's core, instead of just tearing open a small rift?
[System Prompt: Drift bottle wish *1 has been picked up.]
Jiang Lin glanced at the wish slip in his hand, which read:
[I really want to tell you.
Address: Fengxin Street, S City.]
Another cryptic wish.
Jiang Lin put away the slip and left the Eighteenth Hall.
Just as he was opening the underworld passage and preparing to head to the human world.
The system's prompt sounded in his mind again.
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Becoming an excellent First-Class Ghost Messenger."
"System is now calculating... Calculation complete..."
"Completion of promoting Underworld culture: 89.99%.
Collection of human faith: 60%.
Increase in underworld prosperity: 30%.
..."
"Effectiveness of the Underworld Healing Daily Live Stream: Rated as Excellent."
"Ding~ Rewards have been issued!
Points +100,000!
Daily mission rewards doubled!
Skill Proficiency Cards *3!
Wish Card *1!
All currently open items in the system mall are now available to the host at half price!"
...
Listening to the string of system prompts, Jiang Lin's footsteps halted.
Had that main mission been completed?
Was it because of this Ghost Tower incident?
It was only now that his progress was fully updated,
Perhaps it was because the aftermath of the Ghost Tower was only recently processed, or perhaps his impression had deepened further?
Jiang Lin pondered as he cast a concealing defensive barrier around himself.
He opened the system interface to check the rewards just given by the system.
One hundred thousand points, very generous.
The doubling of daily mission rewards below was even more beneficial for the long run.
One mission was equivalent to one thousand points, which was like two large Yin Qi pills.
Wish bottle wishes were now considered daily missions, and completing one wish would grant two strands of divine power.
This felt like receiving news at the end of the year,
That his salary would be doubled the following year.
Looking at the 'Skill Proficiency Cards' further down, as the name suggested, they could increase his proficiency in learning things.
For example, if he only encountered artifact refining today,
After using a proficiency card, images of him practicing repeatedly would appear in his mind.
The processes and details would be extremely clear.
It would be as if he had operated and practiced countless times before.
Even Jiang Lin, after reading the description of the proficiency card, couldn't help but feel a bit astonished.
This item seemed related to time, space, and other such concepts.
It was a bit too precious.
Looking at the 'Wish Card' further down.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but marvel, as the information description stated:
[Wish Card: Fulfill one wish for the host, within the rules of this world and without violating the system's original intention.
Wishes that exceed current reality:
For example: The current host wishes to become the supreme existence of this world in one step.
For example: The current host wishes to obliterate the Four Yama Kings in the next second.
For example: The current host wishes for the entire Heavenly Palace to obey him.
...]
Although the system provided many impossible scenarios as examples,
This still couldn't conceal the power of this card.
Within the rules of this world... what kind of concept was that?
In this world, one could become a god, fly through the air, and burrow through the earth.
If one couldn't become a supreme existence in one step,
Then, what if he wished for assistance in becoming a supreme existence?
Would that be considered within the realm of reality?
...
Finally,
Everything in the mall was half price.
Combined with the doubling of daily mission points, it was no less than being given a treasure trove.
The further Jiang Lin read, the stranger he felt.
Why was the system suddenly so generous?
Considering the system's settlement prompt just now, could it be... that his mission to promote Underworld culture was essentially complete?
Would there be no more main missions in the future?
Or would missions only be issued again when people forgot about the Underworld once more?
...
(PS: The streamer has finally become an excellent First-Class Ghost Messenger! It is currently estimated to conclude in January or February, and there will be an epilogue.
What do you great readers want to see—perhaps some wildly imaginative ideas, or any remaining plot holes—you can mention them here, and Mushroom will try to incorporate them! ╰(´・w・)つ──☆✿✿✿)
