Global Horror: With My Netherworld Trillions, Game On!

Chapter 9: A Gift from the Ghosts! The Mysterious Bronze Mirror!

Though Lin Yu was eager for the perfect-level Ghost Binding Contract, he couldn’t immediately find an opportunity to spend 30,000 ghost coins in one go!

But after he toasted the various ghosts, the strange and fearsome specters also raised their glasses!

“Young Master Lin, there’s no need for such courtesy!”

“Yes, thank you, Young Master Lin!”

Even though they could feel the pure Yin energy radiating from Lin Yu’s Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine, none of the ghosts felt any greed for it.

This wasn’t just out of respect for Lin Yu’s “distinguished status”. It was also because, to these ghosts, Lin Yu was offering more than just a simple meal!

After all, ghosts, being dead, don’t truly need to eat.

So “eating” for ghosts is more like a form of spiritual nourishment.

Many ghosts consume human flesh, blood, or souls to enhance their own Yin energy.

The blood food at Yellow Springs Inn was renowned for its quality, which was precisely why it attracted so many ghosts!

To most ghosts, the only downside of Yellow Springs Inn’s offerings was the price!

However, in reality, the “high price” wasn’t a flaw of the inn, but rather their own limitation!

With Lin Yu footing the bill and treating them, such a good opportunity couldn’t be missed,

and all the ghosts present now owed him a favor.

For humans, a favor might be shamelessly ignored, but for ghosts, that’s impossible!

Even when it comes to killing, they abide by many rules, and most ghosts were haunted by unresolved desires from their mortal lives!

While strengthening their Yin energy was essential for advancement, peace of mind was also important to ghosts, so repaying a favor was a matter of principle!

In other words, if Lin Yu was to ask these ghosts for help, they would likely not refuse!

This was especially true of the first ghost who had feasted ravenously.

After eating and drinking his fill, feeling his Yin energy increase by nearly 30%, he couldn’t help but feel some pressure to reciprocate!

As the first guest of the Yellow Springs Inn, he was a particularly powerful ghost, not much weaker than the innkeeper herself.

Looking at Lin Yu drinking, he began to ponder.

“This Young Master Lin carries such spirit-nourishing wine, and it seems to be effective…”

Although Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine was exceedingly rare, for someone who could casually spend ten units of Yin-energy copper coins to curry favor with these ghosts, would this method of nourishment still hold any significance?

This rather simple-minded, fat ghost couldn’t quite understand the reasoning behind it!

“Could it be… that this great figure’s soul is injured?”

Realizing this, he wore an enlightened expression!

Indeed, why would such a powerful presence appear here…

While the owner of Yellow Springs Inn had some skills, it wouldn’t be enough to draw such a person or their representative here!

If not “treasure-seeking,” it might well be “hiding from enemies”!

Thinking this, the fat ghost’s mind began to work, and he decided that this was the perfect opportunity to form a connection with Lin Yu.

Now, if he could provide Lin Yu with some useful assistance, he would gain favor, while also avoiding being caught up in any future clash between powerful beings due to the favor he owed.

He rose from his seat,

“Young Master Lin… may I be so bold as to call you Brother Lin!”

The ghost’s voice rumbled from deep within his belly, and after a brief hesitation, he took out an ancient, unadorned bronze mirror.

The mirror showed nothing but a vast gray mist, while its back was carved with three coiling kui dragons, their eyes half-closed as if in slumber!

“Having received your generous hospitality today, I feel indebted… Here is a mysterious artifact I possess. I believe it may be of use to you.”

With that, he extended the bronze mirror towards Lin Yu,

who took it, surprised.

“I’ve had this mirror for years and never figured out its true purpose…” The fat ghost pondered aloud.

“However, by injecting Yin energy, it can reveal the presence of ghosts or areas with concentrated Yin energy nearby!

“I believe it may have even greater uses! Leaving it with me would be a waste…”

Listening to the ghost’s explanation, Lin Yu gave a slight nod and put away the bronze mirror,

“Indeed, this Kui Dragon Soul-Locking Mirror is a valuable item… very useful to me!” he said this calmly, and the ghosts, especially the fat one, were all taken aback,

“He actually knows the name of this mysterious Yin artifact!”

The speculation about Lin Yu’s formidable background became even more credible.

For someone to recognize and name such a rare artifact so effortlessly, this man must have been to deeper realms!

No… perhaps he came from there!

Inspired by the fat ghost, an elder ghost also rose.

Cough cough!

“Young Master, this old ghost also has a treasure to offer you!”
