The World Has Entered an Era of Terror At This Moment

Chapter 17: Newbie Group! The Genius Girl’s Surprise!

“Hey, isn’t that Lin Feng?”

“It really is Lin Feng.”

“We haven’t seen him for the past few days. He must have gone to a further place outside the city to complete his timed mission!”

“That’s for sure. He can even handle dangerous-grade ghosts. He definitely won’t be like us, only able to clear out some daily or ordinary-grade ghosts.”

On his way back to the villa, Lin Feng saw quite a few students from his same cohort.

These students were gathered in groups at a small square in the Ghost Controller Residential Area, discussing the recent timed missions.

Three days had passed, and all these students had completed their timed missions.

When they saw Lin Feng, they all recognized him.

After all, Lin Feng had become quite a celebrity among these students by getting a villa right at the start!

“Brother Lin, Brother Lin,” at that moment, the chubby guy who had been in the same class as Lin Feng before ran up to him.

Lin Feng stopped and looked at the chubby guy.

The chubby guy rubbed his hands together and said with a grin, “Brother Lin, here’s the thing. They created a newbie group to exchange experiences or share some information. Everyone hopes that someone as skilled as you could join the group and give us some guidance.”

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, “Sure.”

Joining a group wasn’t a big deal.

The communicator signal was naturally available within the Liucheng Base City, but outside the city, it depended on the area. Some areas, like certain grain towns, had already installed signal towers, but most areas had no signal at all.

If you wanted a signal, you had to rely on satellites, which was quite expensive, costing one contribution point for ten minutes, equivalent to a hundred bucks for ten minutes.

Most Ghost Controllers would only use satellite signals for help when they were in danger.

There wasn’t much choice since there weren’t many usable satellites left.

It was said that some of the larger base cities were trying to launch new communication satellites, but they were still missing some key energy sources and hadn’t succeeded yet.

“Lin Feng is here~”

“We finally got this big shot to join us.”

“Welcome, Brother Lin~”

As soon as Lin Feng entered the group, it instantly became lively.

After sending an emoji, Lin Feng didn’t pay much more attention to it.

However, when Lin Feng returned to the villa, he received a new visitor.

This visitor was a girl.

She was the one girl among the more than three hundred students this term who had acquired a villa.

This girl was also quite famous among the more than three hundred students this term, known as a genius girl because her ghost spirit had already reached the ordinary grade.

“You want to team up with me?” Lin Feng looked at the girl and asked.

The girl nodded. “That’s right. Different ghost spirits have different strengths. Some ghost spirits are good at fighting, some are good at tracking, and some are good at creating ghost domains. You might not feel the difference now, but when you become a third-grade, or even fourth-grade Ghost Controller, and frequently fight powerful ghosts, you’ll understand the importance of ghost spirit abilities and teamwork.”

Lin Feng looked at her. “Go on.”

The girl continued, “Many powerful Ghost Controllers often work in teams to complement each other. I know your ghost spirit is strong, but my ghost spirit was also carefully selected by my father when I was a child and has high growth potential. I’m confident that within a month, my ghost spirit will reach the dangerous grade, and I won’t be a burden to you then.”

“Your ghost spirit wasn’t chosen by you?” Lin Feng was a bit surprised.

The girl nodded. “Of course not. My father spent five thousand contribution points to buy it for me. He bought two ghost spirit items with good potential, and I chose one on my hundredth day. To make sure I would choose it, my father even created identical items for me to play with after I was born.”

After hearing this, Lin Feng understood.

This girl was akin to a “rich second generation” before he transmigrated. Her father was definitely not an ordinary person but a powerful Ghost Controller.

“Sure enough, privilege exists everywhere,” Lin Feng thought.

Not all ghost spirits were the same. Some had high growth potential and a lower risk of losing control, while others were more prone to losing control and don’t grow well.

But for ordinary people, the kind of ghost spirit they get is purely up to luck.

This girl’s ghost spirit item was personally selected by her father.

Moreover, her father used some knowledge of infants to make two identical ghost spirit items for her to play with.

That way, when she reached a hundred days old, she would definitely choose the right one.

To ordinary people, this would be considered cheating.

Her starting line was already miles ahead of others.

No wonder she managed to secure a villa on her own.

Of course, the biggest “cheater” right now wasn’t this girl.

It was the system holder, Lin Feng!

After the girl finished speaking, she looked at Lin Feng with bright eyes.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, “I’m used to working alone, and…”

At this point, Lin Feng paused.

He wondered if revealing that he was already a third-grade Ghost Controller would be too shocking.

But if he didn’t mention it and later jumped straight to the fourth grade, wouldn’t that be even more shocking?

So, Lin Feng said, “And even if your ghost spirit reaches the dangerous grade, teaming up with me still wouldn’t be enough.”

“Why? Is your ghost spirit already at the Hazard Grade?” the girl asked in confusion.

Lin Feng nodded. “Exactly.”

The girl’s face immediately showed a look of deep surprise. “How did you progress so fast!”
