Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 124 - 121: Forbidden Nightmare 28 (Raising the Price to Auction Talisman Paper)
Although her combat abilities aren’t great, she can summon these things to help her fight.
But if she’s not mistaken, summoning ghosts to fight isn’t as simple as summoning a stitched-together monster.
Stitched monsters are physical entities and are uncontrollable in any scenario.
But to summon ghosts, the scenario itself needs to allow ghosts to exist.
Like in this scenario, where ghosts are already present, so she can summon them to fight.
But if it’s a surrealistic or realistic scenario without supernatural horror elements, ghosts might not be summoned.
Anyway, at least in this scenario, a bug can be exploited.
Earlier, didn’t she beat Lulu and Zhuang Ran’s team so badly they had to run away?
Josh looked at him: "How did you get in?"
Yuze pointed above: "Came down from up there."
Josh looked up and saw a large hole overhead, but the edges were very smooth.
It’s probably a hole Yuze cut out with a weapon; if done fast, it wouldn’t make much noise, no wonder the people outside weren’t alerted.
Soon, screams began echoing from other rooms.
Those vicious ghosts got a beating from Yuze and are now venting their anger on others.
Almost every room echoed with screams of despair.
Yuze wanted to rush out upon hearing the commotion but was held back by Josh: "Men aren’t allowed over there, don’t expose yourself, I’ll check it out."
Outside, Yue Xi had already taken people to maintain order, and Josh just kicked the door apart, rushing out.
Josh watched the players scattering in panic from the ghosts, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Zhuang Ran was being chased madly by a ghost, and Lulu and the others weren’t faring much better; chaos reigned in the courtyard.
Yue Xi and the women were moving stiffly, and these people, driven by fear, couldn’t follow orders.
Having no choice, they pulled out whips to drive these Sacrificial Girls.
Josh was about to approach Yue Xi to curry favor when suddenly, a woman jogged over, whispering something in Yue Xi’s ear.
Yue Xi’s face changed, and she quickly led everyone to evacuate.
Leaving behind a chaotic mess of turmoil.
Josh raised her eyebrows high, originally not wanting to earn this money.
But since the opportunity was right before her eyes...
Josh pulled out a stack of talisman paper: "Selling talisman paper! Twenty-five thousand points each, if you want to get rid of the ghosts, these talismans are your best choice~"
"Twenty-five thousand?!" Zhuang Ran glared at her angrily: "Didn’t you say you’d only raise the price to twenty thousand last time?"
Josh smiled slightly: "There aren’t many left, first come, first served."
A ghost attempted to pounce on her, but Josh glanced approvingly at it and threw a talisman at its forehead.
The ghost shrieked mournfully, instantly turning into dust.
"See? Immediate effect, and if you can’t deal with the ghosts, you can buy one. Only 5 left, first come, first served."
[I don’t believe anyone would buy them, twenty-five thousand is too expensive!]
[I don’t believe it either, with those points, you could buy a Pass Card, isn’t that better?]
[Exactly!]
[Who would be dumb enough to buy these?]
"I want one!"
"Me, me, me! I want one too, give me one!"
The familiar squabbling started again.
Thread:[...]
Josh slightly curved her lips, this was a new scenario, and the first team to complete it would receive extra rewards. It’s likely rare weapon socketing items might drop, which are far more appealing than scenario rewards.
Therefore, they wouldn’t easily quit the scenario.
Lulu was being chased around by a ghost, her body scratched all over, yet she couldn’t bring herself to bow her head to Josh.
Only Zhuang Ran couldn’t bear it any longer and bought a Recovery Talisman Paper from Josh.
Josh smiled as she accepted the payment, handing her a talisman: "Hold it, don’t cast it away, just use it to intimidate the ghosts from getting close, it’s effective indefinitely."
Meaning, as long as she’s in the scenario and holding the talisman, no ghosts will approach her!
Zhuang Ran took the talisman paper and indeed felt the pressure on her shoulders vanish instantly, and the surrounding ghosts dared not approach her.
Seeing the obvious effect, the others’ eyes lit up, and they rushed forward eagerly.
"Me, me, me!!!"
"Save one for me!"
"I’ll pay thirty thousand points for one!"
"I’ll pay thirty-five thousand!"
Those few talisman papers brought Josh over two hundred and fifty thousand points.
The unfortunate ones who didn’t get a talisman paper looked longingly at Josh: "You still have more, right? Sell me one; I can offer a higher price! How much?! Fifty thousand points? Sixty thousand?"
Josh helplessly waved: "Sorry, that’s all there is."
Although she could draw more talisman paper anytime, scarcity adds value.
Make them too common, and it’s hard to raise prices later.
After all, she doesn’t just set up shop in this one scenario, right?
The crowd, failing to get more, had to continue dealing with the attacking ghosts.
Josh returned to the room, and as she shut the door, someone flicked her forehead: "I wondered how a newbie like you had so many points."
Josh’s mouth twitched, looking at her team leader: "I am a girl, not a guy."
Yuze walked towards the window, forcibly taking it apart: "Let’s go."
Josh nodded.
Yue Xi and the women left suddenly, something must have happened, they couldn’t just not go and see.
In front of the ancestral hall.
In front of a carefully crafted boathouse, all the women stood gravely.
Yue Xi stood respectfully at the front, with someone dressed unusually by her side.
Josh and Yuze hid far away in a tree, watching the situation below.
Yue Xi seemed particularly respectful, even fearful, of the person beside her.
The person turned, revealing he was a man.
Josh’s eyes widened in surprise.
You should know, in the Moon Clan, it’s a matriarchal society.
Generally, men aren’t allowed to show themselves; only a few working in the ancestral temple can go out daily.
But in women’s eyes, these men hold no status.
For someone to make even Yue Xi show such respect, that man must hold a high status.
Yue Xi and the man both showed some concern, whispering briefly before he left.
All the women stayed in front of the old Holy Daughter’s boathouse.
Josh tried to extend the Spider Silk over, but it was quickly noticed.
The man suddenly looked towards where Josh and Yuze were hiding.
Josh quickly retracted the Spider Silk.
His eyes showed vigilance as he scanned the surroundings for a moment before turning away.
Josh and Yuze exchanged glances, realizing this man is not simple.
The next day.
Josh got up early, reciting the so-called Holy Daughter commandments and doing morning studies in her room.
Outside, there were no cries about the dead yet.
She couldn’t help but frown slightly; perhaps they caused such a ruckus last night that the culprit couldn’t strike?
Everyone was frightened out, and in broad daylight, it was certainly difficult to act.
Suddenly, Yue Xi’s voice echoed outside: "Everyone, get out!"
