Chapter 39: Honored mber of Beyond!
The mont Zhu Jiang appeared, the elevator ghost wisely shut its mouth.
It was just a lowly vengeful ghost, and without the Beyond Apartnts, it likely wouldn’t even have consciousness.
Although it couldn’t discern Zhu Jiang’s relationship with Lin Yu, the ghost knew that with Zhu Jiang present, it had no place to speak.
And Zhu Jiang, summoned by Lin Yu, wasn’t just there to stand idly.
He gripped his blood-stained cleaver and approached the elevator door, tapping the tal handrails along the way with the back of his blade.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound echoed like a death knell, and finally, Zhu Jiang stood directly in front of Lin Yu, just one step away from the door.
“You wanted my master’s hand?” Zhu Jiang asked.
The elevator ghost, its dim mind finally grasping the situation, realized it had offended soone it shouldn’t have.
A “pleasing” expression even appeared on the grotesque, bloody face.
“Uh… uh…
“I… I misspoke. I don’t need a hand!” the ghost said, hurriedly spitting out the one-yuan ghost coin it had swallowed, returning it to Zhu Jiang.
“I was just kidding… I don’t want the money either!
“From now on, you can ride the elevator for free!”
The elevator ghost stamred, and Zhu Jiang nodded.
Then, with one swift slash, he struck the ghost!
“Ahhh!” the elevator ghost scread in agony!
The cleaver sliced in three inches, and from the gash, thick, dark red blood dripped, and murky Yin energy oozed out in black wisps.
Zhu Jiang looked over at Lin Yu.
“Master, it’s bound to this elevator… If I kill it, the elevator might stop working.”
Lin Yu nodded slightly.
“Then spare it.
“But… what’s this ‘honored mber’ about?”
Zhu Jiang sheathed his cleaver and returned to Lin Yu’s side.
With a deep, gaping wound on its bloody, fleshy face, the elevator ghost, unable to muster any anger, forced a twisted smile and answered.
“Well… ‘honored mber’ is the highest-status resident in the apartnt. A symbol of great privilege…
“They can access high-level areas only open to mbers, and even the apartnt’s ‘rules’ don’t fully bind them!
“Of course, mbers seem to have their own ‘rules’… I don’t know much about those!
“Becoming an honored mber is a prerequisite for becoming a council director in the Beyond Council!
“And the directors of the Beyond Council are the true ‘masters’ of this apartnt, the ones we follow!”
Hearing this, Lin Yu fell into thought again.
“Hmm… so, how does one beco an honored mber?” Lin Yu asked, and the elevator ghost looked uncomfortable.
“Sir, I’m just a minor ghost bound to operate the elevator shaft… I wouldn’t know such things!”
This answer was about what Lin Yu expected, so he didn’t press further.
“It seems I’ll need to find a way to beco an honored mber soon.”
In this Beyond Apartnts instance, becoming an honored mber would definitely be crucial!
If he could achieve it, he’d likely gain significant benefits!
However, it also probably wouldn’t be easy to obtain this status.
But Lin Yu was confident, even if it proved challenging, it wouldn’t be impossible!
If needed, he could always clear the way with money!!!
Ding!
The elevator arrived on the third floor, and the sound broke Lin Yu’s train of thought.
The elevator ghost, visibly relieved, didn’t dare trouble Lin Yu anymore, retreating quickly into the door’s gap, leaving the elevator door wide open for Lin Yu!
Lin Yu had Zhu Jiang dissipate for the ti being, as constantly keeping a powerful ghost materialized could easily invite complications.
Outside the elevator, the layout was still a square-shaped corridor!
But unlike the twelfth floor’s residential area, this floor had significantly higher ceilings, and fewer doors overall.
Looking around, Lin Yu saw that there were only four doors on the entire third floor.
They were labeled as the Property Center, Paynt Center, Complaints Center, and Information Center!
“Well, well, there’s even a Complaints Center!” Lin Yu comnted, smirking.
In this eerie apartnt, would anyone — or any ghost — actually dare to file complaints?
The Beyond Council directors, chosen through rigorous selection, didn’t sound like a friendly bunch!
So, Lin Yu shook his head.
Anyone who goes there must be an idiot!
As for the Information Center… Lin Yu couldn’t quite figure out what useful information an apartnt building would have to publish.
He thought he’d check it out later!
Then there was the Property Center and Paynt Center…
After a mont of thought, Lin Yu decided to go to the Paynt Center first to top up!
With that, he stepped toward the Paynt Center.
