In the Abandoned Textile Factory, Lin Feng stood under the moonlight, still somewhat dazed.
The recent "dungeon" experience was too bizarre, but the heavy weight in the Soul Capturing Bag at his waist and the abundant Yin Energy within him told him this was no dream.
Three Wild Ghosts, at least eighty Performance Points!
Just as he was about to check the system panel, a translucent interface popped up in front of him again:
[Congratulations on passing the novice trial, officially unlocking player permissions]
[Player Level: D-Level]
[Player System Fully Activated]
[Function Modules: Chat Channel, Trading Market, System Mall, Live Broadcast Center, Dungeon Query...]
[Next Mandatory Dungeon Countdown: 7 days 0 hours 0 minutes]
[Hint: Entering the dungeon proactively in advance can earn additional reward bonuses]
At the bottom of the panel, a line of small flashing text appeared:
[First Clearance Reward has been issued to the player space, please check]
Lin Feng's eyes widened.
"Entering the dungeon proactively... can earn more rewards?"
"So, I don't have to wait for people to die in the Yang Realm anymore, I can directly enter dungeons to catch Specters?"
"Then my Performance Points..."
Thinking of this, Lin Feng was so excited that his soul body trembled.
Three years!
Three years of working like a horse in the Underworld, worrying every day about those Performance Points, turning his hair white.
Now, a bright road lay before him!
As long as he kept entering dungeons and capturing Specters, wouldn't the Performance Points just pour in?
By then, what 9th Grade 3rd Class, 9th Grade 2nd Class? He could directly aim for 8th-Rank Soul Reaper!
No, 7th-Rank Soul-Reaping Captain!
6th-Rank Soul Captain!
Promotion, raise, marrying a beautiful ghost, stepping onto the path of a ghostly success...
Lin Feng seemed to see a bright future beckoning to him.
He suppressed his excitement and began to carefully study this "player system."
The interface was simple, with his information in the top left corner:
[Player: Lin Feng]
[Level: D-Level]
[Anomaly Coin: 300]
[Cultivation: Mid-Stage Second Tier Exorcist]
[Equipment: Soul Hook Chain (D-Level Low-Grade), Soul Capturing Bag (D-Level Low-Grade), Spirit Calming Bell (D-Level Low-Grade), Ghost Beating Stick (D-Level Low-Grade)]
"The system recognized all my equipment? And even marked their levels..."
Lin Feng pondered.
The Underworld categorized anomalous tools into Magic Artifacts, Magic Treasures, Spiritual Tools, etc., while the Yang Realm seemed to use letter grades.
D-Level corresponded to Magic Artifacts, so C-Level should be Magic Treasures.
And his cultivation, Mid-Stage Second Tier Exorcist, seemed to correspond to the Wild Ghost Level in the Underworld.
He opened the [Chat Channel], which was divided into several sections:
[World Channel] (D-Level and above can speak, speaking consumes Anomaly Coins)
[Regional Channel] (Jiangcheng Region, Free)
[Dungeon Channel] (Opens when entering a dungeon)
[Private Chat Channel]
At this moment, the Regional Channel was bustling:
"Does anyone know what's up with 'Warm Home'? The system just announced someone cleared it at SSS Rank!"
"Really? Isn't Warm Home a newbie graveyard?"
"Absolutely true! I watched it in the live stream, that Black Robe Master is incredible!"
"Black Robe? Is it the one wearing a gray robe with chains?"
"Yes, yes! That's him! He captured the entire Specter family of three and even tore down the house!"
"Wow, that's intense! What's the live stream number?"
"The live stream is already closed, the dungeon ended. But someone recorded it, it should be uploaded soon."
"Is this some young master from a prestigious family? Four D-Level anomalous tools and knows cultivation techniques!"
"Definitely an Exorcist! At least Second Tier!"
Lin Feng was dumbfounded.
Black Robe Master? Exorcist? Second Tier?
What they were talking about... seemed to be him?
He opened the [Live Broadcast Center], which was divided into [Live Now] and [Live Replay] sections.
There were dozens of rooms live now, with covers featuring various eerie and terrifying scenes, and viewers ranging from hundreds to thousands.
In the Live Replay section, the top spot was the "Warm Home" dungeon, with the cover showing the moment he kicked open the study room door, and the views had already surpassed ten thousand, still rapidly increasing.
Lin Feng clicked in and found that every move he made earlier had been recorded.
Including eating rats, gnawing cockroaches, tying up Mom, beating Dad, scaring Sister to tears, and finally demolishing the house.
The bullet comments were dense:
"Black Robe Bro is awesome!"
"A family should stay together"
"Warm Home: I was terrified at the time"
"Suggest the Specter Protection Association investigate"
"This isn't a player, it's a dungeon demolition team"
Lin Feng's mouth twitched.
He had worked diligently in the Underworld for three years, always unknown, and unexpectedly became an "internet celebrity" after one trip to the Yang Realm?
But this was good; at least no one suspected he was a Soul-Reaper from the Underworld.
Everyone thought he was some young master from a hidden family or a mysterious Exorcist.
This identity perfectly concealed his true origin.
However, he was curious. According to their words, these anomalous dungeons seemed to have been around for a long time, and they were even accustomed to them. But why hadn't the Underworld received any news?
And he hadn't heard of such live streams in the Yang Realm either!
Unable to figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it.

Lin Feng opened the [System Mall] again.
It was filled with a dazzling array of items, divided into several sections:
[Anomalous Tools], [Medicines], [Cultivation Techniques], [Materials], [Miscellaneous]...
He randomly opened the Anomalous Tools section and glanced at the prices, sucking in a cold breath.
D-Level Low-Grade Anomalous Tools, the cheapest was 1000 Anomaly Coins!
Mid-Grade ones were 2000, High-Grade 3000, and Top-Grade 4000!
And the four D-Level Low-Grade Anomalous Tools he had, which were just the most basic Magic Artifacts in the Underworld, were worth at least 1000 Anomaly Coins here!
"Are the equipment issued by the Underworld this valuable?"
Lin Feng suddenly felt he hadn't cherished these "standard-issue equipment" enough before.
He then opened the Cultivation Techniques section.
The cheapest "Basic Qi Refining Art" was 2000 Anomaly Coins.
A bit better, the "Yin Fiend Art," was 5000 Anomaly Coins.
Further up, "Mystic Yin Scripture," "Nine Nether Ghost Codex," and the like were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Anomaly Coins, with purchase permission restrictions.
"No wonder those in the live stream said I was an Exorcist... Knowing cultivation techniques, in their eyes, means being an Exorcist."
Lin Feng realized.
He exited the mall and checked the other functions.
[Trading Market] was a platform for player transactions, where items could be purchased with Anomaly Coins or bartered.
[Dungeon Query] allowed checking known dungeon information, including difficulty, recommended level, known rules, etc.
Warm Home was listed there, marked as "E-Level (Novice Trial)," with a clearance rate of 0% and no historical highest rating.
And he was the first to clear this dungeon, achieving an SSS Rank rating.
"This system... is incredibly useful!"
Lin Feng was thrilled.
With it, he could actively seek out dungeons and actively earn Performance Points!
But now wasn't the time to study the system.
He still had to return to the Underworld to submit his task.
"One hundred Merit, erase bad records, plus the Performance Points from these three Wild Ghosts..."
Lin Feng calculated that the total earnings from this task were about 180 Merit.
This was the largest income since he started working!
He didn't delay any longer, took out the Soul-Reaper token, and infused it with Yin Energy.
The token emitted a ghostly light, opening a gray Underworld Passage in front of him.
Lin Feng stepped in.
