Global Horror: With My Netherworld Trillions, Game On!-Chapter 21 - A New Spending Quest! Tempting Rewards!

Chapter 21: A New Spending Quest! Tempting Rewards!

To the bearded man, the idea of willingly entering a horror instance might seem absurd for most people.

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

But for someone as powerful and mysterious as Lin Yu… it was almost certain he would choose to enter on his own!

Lin Yu noticed the bearded man’s meaningful glance, but he just smiled and said nothing.

“Besides contacting ‘Investigation Center No. 9’ directly, are there any other ways to connect with other horror game players?” Lin Yu asked seriously.

Since he had the secret of his own system, getting involved with the official organizations… might not be beneficial to him.

The bearded man fully understood Lin Yu’s reasoning, and nodded.

“There is… it’s what I mentioned earlier: the ‘forum.’

“It’s a website funded by the government but not directly under their control.

“It’s managed by high-level ghost handlers, and, most importantly, everyone is anonymous!”

The bearded man provided a URL.

“This is a ‘buffer zone’ set up by the officials for those who wish to keep their identities hidden.

“After all, once you leave a horror instance, others can’t recall your true appearance unless you reveal it yourself!”

He explained, and Lin Yu nodded knowingly.

“I see.”

As he spoke, the bearded man looked at the two women in the group. “Any questions?”

Both women shook their heads, and they resumed resting.

Even though the room had beds, nobody dared to sleep in such a creepy night.

They all leaned against the wall, resting with their eyes closed.

Lin Yu took the opportunity to check his system’s third task.

After awakening his spiritual sense, he had better stamina than most people, so he could go without sleep tonight.

Busy negotiating with the innkeeper and gathering information from the bearded man, Lin Yu hadn’t yet opened the task panel.

When he did, he saw a surprising notification before the task panel.

【Ding! Cashback Crit Card activated!】

【Total spending from the last transaction: 2,000,000!】

【Random cashback multiplier: 5x! Congratulations, you’ve received 10,000,000 in cashback!!!】

Lin Yu blinked, then smiled in delight!

So that counted as a transaction!

He’d spent two million, and with five times cashback, he received ten million!

After days of splurging at Yellow Springs Inn, he’d made back his spending in one go, plus a profit.

His money really seemed to multiply the more he spent it!

This cashback crit card was fantastic!

He checked the new quest.

【Task Three: Impulse Spending Is Bliss, Keep Spending to Stay Blissful! (Incomplete)】

【Task Objective: Make three purchases where the price exceeds five times the base value and each item costs at least 100,000 yuan. No voluntary price increases allowed (0/3)】

【Task Rewards: Cashback Crit Card *1, Yin Spirit Essence *5, Soul Capture Talisman *10, Spirit Extermination Talisman *10!】

“Wow, these rewards are abundant!”

Lin Yu was more thrilled about the items than he was about the ten million!

To him, his bank balance was nearly just a number now!

Items were what really mattered!

Not only was he getting another cashback card, but also Yin Spirit Essence, which sounded as valuable as Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine!

And the Soul Capture and Spirit Extermination Talismans sounded like powerful offensive tools!

Ten of each might seem few, but if another ghost provoked him, he’d be able to obliterate them!

Plus, there would surely be more rewards in the future!

Twenty offensive talismans were plenty for several future instances!

But…

Lin Yu examined the task details.

“I need to buy items valued at five times the base price and worth over 100,000, so the asking price has to be at least 500,000…” Lin Yu scratched his head. “Looks like I’ll need to find a serious profiteer for this!”

This task couldn’t be completed at Yellow Springs Inn!

Especially with the restriction…

No voluntary price increases allowed!

Not sure if it was a bug fix for him raising prices too often, or if the task simply came with this rule!

Either way, those lucrative rewards wouldn’t come easily.

“Hopefully the next instance has high prices!”

He then started studying his perfect-grade ghost contract, to be ready for negotiations with the cook Zhu Jiang the next day!

—

The night passed quickly without any disturbances or strange events.

Of course, this didn’t mean Yellow Springs Inn was any safer at night!

After all, at night, ghosts had fewer “rules” to follow compared to the daytime.

But… the usual “dangers” could have been attacks from Madam Zhang, the ghost accountant, or the cook Zhu Jiang!

And those three ghosts — one had been eaten by Lin Yu, while the other two had goodwill and some fear towards him!

They’d hardly attack him!
