Only I Level Up By Shoveling-Chapter 89: "Targeted"

This was the first time Castra knew that a spirit could be demoted from the current rank!

Would that mean all their skills were locked again?

Damn, that’s nasty!

Castra quickly bid goodbye to the officers and brought back the toilet spirit who was now free from the temporary seal.

"Quick, quick, we have to go to the administration office! They’re about to close too!"

Castra urged Dudu and the toilet spirit to help him pack his things and swiftly left his ragtag little house without a trace of nostalgia.

Hahaha! Finally! Say goodbye to this cursed place!

While Castra was as busy as a bee, the Spirit World’s forum opened only to residents at Middle Sky and higher was bustling with noise.

[Anonymous: Guys, I heard from my lackeys at the Lower Sky that someone from there is going to move up soon!]

[Anonymous 2: What?? How could a filthy spirit come to our sacred residence? I object!]

[Anonymous 3: It’s been a long, long time since a low-level spirit moved to the Middle Sky. This spirit is suspicious.]

[Anonymous 1: I suspect they’re the recently infamous "transmigrator", but I have no evidence.]

[Anonymous 2: Reported! I don’t want anyone from the slums to come to our place!]

[Anonymous 1: That spirit is a poop shoveler spirit, how filthy. Don’t let them spread their stench here.]

[Anonymous 3: I’ll look for this spirit’s info. How about we "greet" them at the inter-sky portal? They will definitely come through that portal!]

[Anonymous 4: Ohhh, sounds fun, sounds fun. Before that filthy thing had access to our forum, we had to do something.]

A lot of spirits in the Middle Sky were seething with jealousy and many of them secretly became wary of the unknown newcomer.

Looking at how fast the new spirit advanced, this new spirit might steal their faith points in the future!

Who wouldn’t hate this kind of spirit?

While many unpopular spirits who fiercely guarded their faith points secretly plotted to do bad things, another group chatted casually in a locked forum post.

[Anonymous A: Wow, the newly promoted spirit is from our Earth Faction! That spirit is our faction’s pride!]

[Anonymous B: I’m worried about this spirit. You know how nasty those so-called elites could be.]

[Anonymous C: Well, that spirit advanced too quickly. They must have robbed a few spirits’ faiths or grabbed new summoners’ faiths....]

Who would like that?

[Anonymous A: Leader, should we...you know, invite him to join our group?]

[Anonymous C: For now, just look from afar and help secretly, but don’t get involved with them too deeply.]

[Anonymous A: Oh, okay...]

[Anonymous B: Okay, okay, noted.]

While the storm was brewing, Castra narrowly finished his registration at the administration building and was immediately thrown to the inter-sky portal, going straight to the Middle Sky!

Castra only saw a blur and the next second, a warm sunlight shone upon his face.

A pristine blue sky and white clouds stretched as far as one could see.

The wind blew gently and the lush green trees around shook, looking serene and enchanting.

Castra, who was used to seeing dirty mud roads, gloomy sky and barren trees couldn’t help but inhale the fresh air deeply.

Wow, damn it. Compared to the Lower Sky, the Middle Sky was like heaven!

Rows after rows of gorgeous castles and western-style buildings scattered all over the plain, intersected with mountains, lakes and beautiful forests.

This place finally looked like the western fantasy he imagined.

It’s just that...

Castra felt prickling gazes hidden somewhere around, boring holes into his back.

One, two , three...

It felt as if a whole group of unknown beings were secretly spying on him!

Castra broke into goosebumps as he hurriedly went to his designated house farthest away from the circle of beautiful castles but he had not walked far when a group of spirits suddenly blocked his path.

"Halt!"

Deja vu.

Castra twitched his lips at the sight of the new group booking his path.

Is the 2-star luck stat finally showing effect?

The system just went offline when another problem came knocking!

"Is there something wrong?" Castra asked impatiently as he tried to make a detour.

He didn’t have time to squabble with these strangers!

Unfortunately, the new group of spirits didn’t budge at all.

The leader, a C-rank spirit, scoffed with eyes full of disdain.

"You’re a newly promoted spirit from the slum, right?"

Before Castra could even respond, the C-rank spirit sneered.

"Newcomers must go through a welcoming party! It’s a tradition."

...you guys don’t look welcoming.

"Oh, is that so? Thank you for the warm welcome!"

Castra had already gestured to the toilet spirit to be ready.

C’mon, who’s afraid of who!

But the C-rank spirit did an unexpected thing.

Instead of immediately challenging Castra, he looked at the toilet spirit and snorted twice.

"Good. The welcoming party will be held this weekend. Come to the Spirit Colosseum. If you don’t come..."

The C-rank spirit suddenly burst out his aura and Castra immediately felt a slight pressure on his chest.

Damn, bullying the weak, right?

Without Castra’s command, the toilet spirit immediately slapped its lids and emitted the same C-rank aura, clashing with the C-rank spirit’s pressure.

Boom!

An invisible power exploded in the air and yet the two sides kept a poker face— not like the toilet had a face.

The C-rank spirit pursed his lips unhappily and turned around sharply, followed by his group of entourages.

"Hmph! See you at the welcoming party!"

His voice drifted in the wind as the group slowly disappeared from Castra’s sight.

Once the group was gone, Castra immediately rushed to his assigned house to avoid further complications but just when he was right at the doorstep, a female spirit suddenly blocked his path and shook her head apologetically.

"Hello, newcomer, I’m sorry, this house has been booked! You have to find another house."

...??

"But this is the house assigned to me by the administrator— "

"Ah, you can check your system panel and see that the house has been relocated again!"

Castra opened his Spirit World’s system with a skeptical attitude when he saw the blaring red notice.

[Your assigned house has been booked in advance.]

[To avoid further replacement, please pay the deposit for the house you take a fancy to.]

?? What?? He had to pay to get a house in the Middle Sky??

Isn’t the house assigned for free??
