▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
'I didn't expect to get a piece of the Demon Set right at the start.'
Holding the Demon Boots in hand, Zhang Yue opened the guild group chat, tagged Ouyang Ling'er, and sent a ssage:
["I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Help investigate the Demon Set."]
Zhang Yue could have looked up the information online himself, but he called on Ouyang Ling'er to give her a way to make up for her mistake.
After her earlier mishap, Ouyang Ling'er was extra diligent:
["Got it, Guild Leader! Just a mont, I'll look it up right away."]
And true to her word, she replied in just a mont:
["It's said to be influenced by [Ghost Beauty]. Globally, Demon Set pieces only drop within the Eighth World's Ghost Domain, specifically in Long Nation, with Tianjing as the entry point."]
["If a player assembles a complete Demon Set and wears it, they can activate a personal hidden dungeon called [Night of the Underworld Wedding] Inside the dungeon, you can et the rumored, breathtakingly beautiful Ghost Beauty—who also has her own consciousness."]
Lin Tian was astonished: ["A conscious NPC? Isn't that sothing only God-level bosses have? Is the Ghost Beauty a God-level boss?"]
Ouyang Ling'er replied: ["I don't know. Many players have entered the Night of the Underworld Wedding dungeon recently, but no one has successfully cleared it. What's strange is that everyone who exits the dungeon loses all mory of what happened inside. All they rember is a single sentence."]
Wu Haotian asked: ["What sentence?"]
Ouyang Ling'er said: ["The Ghost Beauty... is so beautiful!"]
One-Night Stand: ["Whoa! Who's the creep that said that?"[
Ouyang Ling'er seed helpless: ["It's mysterious, right? No one rembers the dungeon tasks, the monster levels, or even what role the Ghost Beauty plays. That's why there's no strategy guide online. The dungeon remains a mystery."]
["In the 1980s, when the Night of the Underworld Wedding was first discovered, the Ghost Beauty beca a global sensation. Many foreigners even ca to Tianjing in Long Nation just to catch a glimpse of her, and so even created portraits of her."]
Liyue: ["Wait, didn't they say no one rembers what she looks like? How did they paint her?"]
One-Night Stand: ["Imagination, duh~"]
Ouyang Ling'er then attached a few images: ["Here, these are fan interpretations of the Ghost Beauty."]
Looking at the images, One-Night Stand couldn't help but comnt: ["Wow! Why is her head so... big?"]
Wu Haotian: ["You better an her head."]
It seed the Ghost Beauty was quite the celebrity NPC.
"A conscious NPC?"
Zhang Yue's curiosity about her grew.
However, according to Ouyang Ling'er, each Demon Set can only be used once to activate the Night of the Underworld Wedding dungeon. After activation, the set loses this function.
To open the dungeon, Zhang Yue would need to manually collect a complete Demon Set.
Of course, buying one was also an option—so people made a business out of selling them.
After finishing off a few vengeful ghosts, a voice suddenly called from behind:
"Hey, brother, need a Demon Set? Unused, selling cheap!"
Zhang Yue turned to see a five-player team entering the Haunted Dormitory map.
These players looked to be in their thirties or forties and were all max-level for the Eighth World: Level 55. Clearly, they were seasoned veterans in this world.
They quickly recognized Zhang Yue as a newcor and started pitching their product.
In the otherworldl, every world had unique attractions that made players linger. For many, the Eighth World's draw was farming Demon Sets by hunting ghosts.
Veteran players would sell these sets at high prices to new players eager to see the Ghost Beauty.
A full, unopened 6-star Level 55 Demon Set could fetch up to 300,000 gold. For poor players, even finding just one set a year could be life-changing.
The veterans enthusiastically promoted their wares:
"Not 998, not 668. Just 300,000, and a complete Demon Set is yours. No scams, no tricks—don't miss out."
"Want a romantic night with the Ghost Beauty? Want to share a wedding chamber with her? A Demon Set can make your dreams co true."
"Why hesitate, brother? Order now and get a 10% discount plus a day of power-leveling with our elite team."
Zhang Yue wasn't short on money—he just didn't see the need.
The set was for Level 55, and at his current Level 52, he couldn't use it yet. By the ti he collected a set, he'd likely be Level 55 anyway.
So, he casually declined: "No, thanks."
Seeing Zhang Yue uninterested, the team started mocking him:
"Guess we overestimated today's newbie. Look at this guy—clearly broke."
"He'll never collect a full set in his life."
"He probably can't even kill ghosts. Bet he'll die without knowing what hit him, haha!"
Zhang Yue ignored their taunts and continued his mission.
Just then, the Skeleton King returned, leading over 40 vengeful ghosts.
Luring them all to one spot, Zhang Yue unleashed Hell's Judgnt, Necrostorm, and Thundercloud Tempest, decimating them.
With his Extinction Black Dragon's Doomfla and Doombreath, he finished them off.
In seconds, all 40 Level 51–52 ghosts were annihilated.
The veteran players, smug monts ago, were now stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
Realizing Zhang Yue's prowess, one murmured,"Wait... isn't this guy..."
"Why is there already a newcor in the Eighth World today?"
"He's a Beast Tar... Is this the Zero who defeated Tianjing's top guilds?"
Realizing his identity, they fled in embarrassnt.
Zhang Yue, anwhile, looted his spoils.
Among the ghosts, there were a few notable finds: one with Level 3 Soul Purity, two with Level 5, and the rest with Level 1.
Unfortunately, no Demon Set pieces dropped.
But he did make another major discovery...
