Chapter 236: Clearance Rewards
Upon returning to the white space, Bai Cha’s body had restored to its normal condition in reality.
The game held true to its word on this front, at least.
[System Notice: Sweetie, we will now proceed with your clearance settlement~]
[System Notice: You performed exquisitely in this instance, earning an S-tier evaluation and securing 1,600 points.]
[System Notice: Your current total points stand at 8,400. Congratulations on successfully ranking up to a B3 player!]
[System Notice: Your “Ghouls’ Bane” title has leveled up to LV6! You’re getting terrifyingly formidable~ We sincerely recommend considering equipping your title; perhaps it will yield unexpected effects!]
Bai Cha had never equipped this title before.
She would decide next time depending on the instance’s circumstances.
[System Notice: You undertook a special task in this instance. Special Task Rewards: The Secret Shards in your backpack are multiplied by 20-fold, and you may freely select any three items from the instance as props. Note: The Tai Sui is a mandatory selection.]
[System Notice: May I ask what you would like for the remaining two items?]
“Anything goes? Can I ask for an NPC as well?”
[System Notice: If you so wish, that is naturally acceptable too! However, a friendly reminder on our end: NPCs can only appear by your side in the form of props—for instance, you may utilize them for your own use via summoning.]
Bai Cha looked thoughtful.
“Is that so? But there aren’t any NPCs left in that instance, are there?”
[System Notice: …]
[System Notice: Sweetie, so we ask that when clearing instances in the future, please spare a thought for the game’s feelings and refrain from constantly wiping out our NPCs alongside everything else.]
Hearing this, Bai Cha copied its style and put on a false smile.
“I’ll do my best to keep that in mind, sweetie~”
[System Notice: …]
[System Notice: So what would you like then? Please make up your mind quickly.]
There truly wasn’t much left worth asking for in that instance.
“Can I have the entire nursing home?”
[System Notice: One moment… let me consult.]
The pixelated ghost face flickered several times.
[System Notice: Sweetie, granting you the entire nursing home is impossible, but we can give you that ward building! We can situate the ward building directly in the Game Town to serve as your exclusive villa. However, the ward building has sustained rather severe damage, so you will need to repair it yourself.]
Bai Cha: “…”
Meaning I obtained a dilapidated house, essentially?
And it’s not even in reality.
[System Notice: For a house situated in the Game Town, you can rent it out! There will be players willing to rent rooms, and these are all point-based transactions! Of course, if you wish to use real-world currency, you can simply negotiate directly with the players—it’s quite a worthwhile deal! Therefore, this prop reward has been issued.]
Bai Cha fell silent.
Forget it, it works fine enough.
At least she owned real estate in the game now, given that hotels were quite expensive.
“If I don’t live in the house and don’t wish to rent it out either, no one will sneak inside, right?”
[System Notice: Rest assured on this point! This is your private territory, and it is strictly impossible for anyone to trespass inside. Should anyone do so, simply report it, and we will purge them directly.]
Bai Cha nodded.
“Is Zhao Xiaoai still inside the instance?”
[System Notice: Yes indeed! Do you wish to take her as a reward as well?]
“Tell me first what she would be like as a reward, and what tier she would reach?”
[System Notice: Sweetie, Zhao Xiaoai’s combat strength is not particularly high, with a comprehensive rating as a C-tier prop. She was sealed inside the mirror, which serves as her primary domain. If you want her, I will grant you a mirror that can be used once per instance to drag any person or ghost into the mirror.]
[System Notice: Of course, if their strength exceeds Zhao Xiaoai’s, Zhao Xiaoai will be killed, and the person or ghost pulled into the mirror will emerge directly, while your prop will be destroyed as well.]
“Can I enter it myself?”
[System Notice: You can, but you must exercise caution as well, as Zhao Xiaoai could harm you. However, as the master of the mirror, you may exit at any time.]
Bai Cha nodded.
“Then I’ll take this one.”
[System Notice: Very well, sweetie! Both of your props have been issued. Among them, your real estate has been converted into a property deed and placed in your backpack. You need only open the property deed to enter your own house without needing to return to the Game Town.]
This was equivalent to gaining an extra recall point.
This was quite nice indeed.
[System Notice: Sweetie, this is the Tai Sui (?), which has currently entered a dormant state.]
A white lump floated up before Bai Cha.
[System Notice: This prop exceeds S-tier. Specific usage methods must be explored independently by you; you may refer to the usage methods of the NPC within the instance.]
Bai Cha squeezed the Tai Sui, casually stowing it into her backpack. She then received a prompt stating that this item was rather special and could not be stowed into her backpack upon entering instances, only accessible within the scope of the Game Town and Game Lobby.
She knitted her brows slightly, looking toward the ghost face.
“Don’t you have a box or something to give me? How am I supposed to carry this around later?”
The pixelated ghost face thereupon flung the large prize wheel over.
[System Notice: Sweetie, there are relevant props here~ You can spin for them yourself! You still have ten draw attempts! Valid for a limited time only, nor can they be converted into other rewards~]
Bai Cha: =_=
Forget it, a free draw is a free draw.
Bai Cha began spinning the wheel.
The first round of draws concluded.
[System Notice: Congratulations! You were just a tiny bit away~ Keep up the effort, you’ll definitely win next time!]
She knew it!
Bai Cha set about the second round with an expressionless face.
[System Notice: Congratulations! You were just a tiny bit…]
[System Notice: Congratulations! You were just…]
[System Notice: Congratu…]
[System Notice: Cong…]
[System Notice: …]
[System Notice: Congratulations! You have successfully drawn the prop: Ultra Hair Growth Serum x1!]
On the final attempt, Bai Cha finally landed a prop.
Looking at the 500ml bottle of shampoo before her, she fell into a brief silence.
The bottle for this shampoo was Barbie pink, featuring an illustration of a female ghost—a female ghost with wild, disheveled, exceptionally long hair.
Beside it was a row of large, bloody red characters: Ultra Hair Growth Serum: Restores Your Beautiful Tresses.
The overall look was eerie and eye-searingly gaudy.
“This…”
[System Notice: Ah, sweetie, congratulations on drawing one of the top three most popular items on the Top List in our Game Town—the Hair Growth Serum! Your luck is truly fantastic!]
[System Notice: This is one of the rare props capable of affecting reality! After using this Hair Growth Serum in the Game Town, you will possess a head of luscious, radiant hair; even upon returning to reality, it will remain exceptionally gorgeous with absolute zero hair loss, resolving difficulties you cannot fix in reality!]
Having spoken, the pixelated ghost face leaned in close to Bai Cha, examining her head carefully.
[System Notice: Oh, sweetie, it seems you don’t need it. No matter—list this on the forum for sale, and it will definitely fetch a fantastic price! A single bottle sells for 1,500 points in the shop! And it’s a limited release! If you don’t believe me, you can check for yourself—this month’s stock of Hair Growth Serum is already sold out!]
Bai Cha: “…”
I believe your nonsensical ghost stories!
Yet she opened the shop for a look regardless, discovering it was actually true.
With a complex expression, she stowed the Hair Growth Serum away.
[System Notice: Well then, sweetie, do you have any other questions?]
“No. Can I return directly to my own house?”
[System Notice: You may, sweetie! Teleporting you now!]
Bai Cha’s figure appeared directly inside the familiar ward building. She stood in the first-floor lobby, a winding path outside the main entrance connecting to the main road beyond.
Pretty good—though the house was quite dilapidated as well.
