"Phew, the air outside is so fresh!"

After Su Ran left the oppressive room, he felt instantly refreshed, especially since he had obtained the quest item, the Guidance Stone, which excited him tremendously.

"Guidance Stone, Lamp Soul, the quest can finally continue, it wasn’t easy."

Su Ran felt that all the suffering he had endured was worth it, even being surrounded by Dai Xuan’s gang couldn’t stop his quest progress. This could only mean that the goddess of luck was on his side, he was really lucky!

"Good thing, there are no lackeys of Dai Xuan around here."

Su Ran scanned the unfamiliar surroundings and found himself on a black grassland far from Ghost City based on the coordinates; the area was scarcely populated, not a single player in sight, and Su Ran finally let his guard down completely.

"Right, the token!"

Su Ran had been constantly thinking about that precious token; he hadn’t been able to check its properties in Ghost City for fear of attracting the attention of Ghost Clan NPCs. Now that he was alone, it was time to feast his eyes on it!

Just to be on the safe side, Su Ran scanned his surroundings again—no humans, not even a Ghost Clan monster in sight. Being cautious, he lay down in the grass concealed by the black weeds before pulling out the token.

Actually, it wasn’t surprising that Su Ran was so careful; after all, it was a token that could create anomalies, and he couldn’t afford to be negligent!

Holding the heavy token in his hands, Su Ran felt a little thrill in his heart; coming to this ghost realm, the biggest gain was undoubtedly this token!

Once he calmed down, Su Ran then cast the Detection Technique on the token, unveiling its mysterious veil.

[Celestial Pet Token](Special)

Worn on a pet, all attributes +20%, magical resistance +20%, critical hit +2, accuracy +2.

Special skill: Rebirth After Death—When the pet dies, there’s a 50% chance of reviving with full health, skill cooldown time is one hour.

Note: In damaged condition, it cannot be used.

However.

When Su Ran saw the properties on the token, he was dumbfounded. At that moment, he was so embarrassed he wanted to slap himself.

"Damaged condition? Damn, damn, damn!"

Su Ran knew exactly why this precious token was damaged—it was his own doing!

In order not to let Dai Xuan get it, Su Ran had attacked the Celestial Pet Token multiple times, successfully disrupting its illusionary state, and also successfully damaging it.

What’s going on here?

System, you’re being cheeky, does your mom know? fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

At this moment, Su Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Holding the Celestial Pet Token, he didn’t know how to face it.

After a while, Su Ran could only accept this absurd reality, he sighed deeply, throwing the high-grade pet token into his inventory, unwilling to look at it any longer.

"Damn Dai Xuan, it’s all because of him messing up my chance and spoiling a treasure!"

Thinking about the token’s damaged condition made Su Ran feel heartbroken. He pinned all the blame on Dai Xuan; if it hadn’t been for his assault, would there have been any need to attack the Celestial Pet Token?

Damn it!

There’s nothing to be done.

Things having come to this, Su Ran could only silently accept the fact; this pet token, now no better than chicken ribs, would need fixing before it could be of use again. For now, it would just have to be tucked away in the cold palace by Su Ran.

"I’ll ask the cunning merchant Yin Si when I get back to my domain, he should have a solution."

Su Ran still harbored a sliver of hope, after all, this was a priceless item, and the system surely wouldn’t let this treasure become a piece of junk.

Pushing this worrisome issue to the back of his mind, Su Ran then took out the Guidance Stone without a ripple of emotion, directly scanning its properties thoroughly.

[Guidance Stone](Special)

Can query information about any item in the Ghost Realm, the accuracy of the information depends on the value of the item.

Remaining uses: 3 times.

"Hey, I really didn’t expect, the all-knowing ghost was really generous, giving an extra two search opportunities, nice!"

Su Ran nodded in satisfaction, muttering to himself, "Those 500 Ghost Coins weren’t wasted, got the friendship of the all-knowing ghost, and even got two extra search opportunities, already made my money back."

"Query, Dream Seeking Mirror!"

Su Ran hadn’t forgotten his initial purpose for entering the game, and immediately thought of the legendary item, the Dream Seeking Mirror. If he could get his hands on a Dream Seeking Mirror here, what would it matter if he didn’t get the Lamp Soul!

"Click."

Some cracks appeared on the surface of the Guidance Stone as Su Ran successfully obtained a clue about the Dream Seeking Mirror.

"Ding! The approximate location of the Dream Seeking Mirror has been queried, within a hundred miles of the player’s skeleton location, good luck."

The system’s notification sound followed, heavy with irony, causing Su Ran to completely lose the hope that had just ignited.

"Too bad, wasted an opportunity."

Although he said this, Su Ran had no regrets, at least it had been proven that the Dream Seeking Mirror did exist in the Ghost Realm.

"Query, the lost Lamp Soul on the Soul Extending Lamp!"

Only then did Su Ran use the Guidance Stone for its proper purpose, patiently waiting for the system’s notification to arrive.

"Ding! The approximate location of the Lamp Soul has been queried, Ghost City."

The system’s notification sound rang out again, informing Su Ran of the results. However, this time the coordinate range wasn’t too outrageous, within what Su Ran could handle.

"I can only go back to Ghost City and search again, I refuse to believe I can’t find the specific coordinates of the Lamp Soul!"

Su Ran had no doubt that Dai Xuan was a narrow-minded person who would go to any lengths to kill him; he probably had set a complete trap in Ghost City, just waiting for him to appear.

However, this time, Su Ran was determined to be quick and decisive, planning to get the specific coordinates of the Lamp Soul before Dai Xuan could react. Having made up his mind, he immediately activated Instant Movement, teleporting to Ghost City.

Ghost City.

Over a hundred players gathered in the streets, surrounding a warrior in dark armor, accompanied by a golden tiger with imposing eyes. It was clear that this man was the guild leader of Dancing Demons, Dai Xuan.

"Guild leader, we’ve turned the entire Ghost City upside down, but still couldn’t find Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained..."

"It seems we have already alarmed him, if it were me, I would have already teleported away. Who would foolishly wait around to be killed?!"

"Guild leader, hanging around here isn’t solving anything, and with the New Year approaching, while that kid might afford it, our brothers can’t!"

The players spoke one after another to Dai Xuan, though their words might be unpleasant, they were indeed the truth.

"Let’s spare him this once, organize a team, and continue the expedition outside the city!"

Dai Xuan also knew that ambushing Su Ran again was extremely difficult, and due to time constraints, he could only go along with public opinion and gave up on the idea of pursuing Su Ran, leading his large force majestically out of Ghost City.

With so many players gone, the streets became empty, and the entire Ghost City plunged back into deadly silence.
