4: Chapter 1: Horror Dungeon Turned into Experience Pool

“Beep—! Beep—!”

The piercing siren tore through the night sky, and the Purgatory City instance entrance suddenly lit up with blood-red warning lights.

The students, who had been queuing to enter the easy mode, all turned their heads to see a scarlet alert box explode on the holographic projection screen:

“Warning! Purgatory City instance difficulty has been adjusted to: Hard”

“Warning! Solo mode has been locked”

“What the hell?”

“Lin Mo, if you want to die, don’t drag down our class’s promotion rate!”

“Is this guy perhaps thinking of ending it all, read too many web novels, and is preparing to enter to respawn, to see if he can transmigrate to other worlds?”

“Tsk tsk tsk…”

The crowd erupted. Liu Feifei, the class beauty in a crop top, sneered as she raised her phone:

“My family in the live stream, look quickly, our class’s bottom-feeder is going to perform fancy ways to die~”

In the camera, Lin Mo was pressing his palm against the instance’s bronze door knocker.

Teacher Wu rushed forward in ten-centimeter high heels, not even bothering with the two buttons that had popped off her professional attire:

“Stop quickly! After solo mode is locked on hard difficulty, even an armored corpse won’t be able to save you…”

Before she finished speaking, the twenty-ton bronze giant door let out a roar like an ancient beast.

“My Lord, should I tear them to shreds?” a lazy female voice whispered close to his ear.

The Water Domain Ghost King, whose translucent body resided within Lin Mo, suddenly emerged, her obsidian-like fingernail lightly tracing his Adam’s apple.

“No need, it’s a minor scene.”

Originally, Lin Mo was very afraid of the horror world.

Especially the instances here.

However.

Now his female ghost had evolved into a Ghost King.

He felt no fear at all.

All fear stemmed from insufficient combat power… The moment the bronze giant door slammed shut behind him, Lin Mo’s retina exploded with a scarlet warning:

“Welcome to Purgatory City, where you will witness curious sky lanterns, corpses constantly burning in karmic fire, and omnipresent cries of pain.”

The entire city revealed its true face in the twisting heatwave—charred city walls flowed with magma veins, and hundreds of carbonized arms reached out from the cracks in the broken streets.

Everywhere were high-rise buildings constantly burning.

And wails coming from who knows where.

“Uh…”

The scene inside was too terrifying.

Seeing instance scenes in books and on TV was completely different from actually entering here himself.

“My Lord, don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer the slightest harm…”

The Ghost King gently raised her jade hand, and a faint blue light emanated from her body. A water-like light curtain instantly enveloped Lin Mo, which was precisely the skill “Water Shadow Concealment.”

In an instant, Lin Mo’s figure vanished from its original spot, completely hidden in the void.

With the invisibility spell, Lin Mo was completely calm.

He even began to ponder other functions of this invisibility spell, unlocking more places he couldn't enter before.

Of course, we won't go into detail here.

“Pain, pain, pain, pain…”

“Ah ah ah ah…”

In the burning streets, charred corpses surged from all directions.

Their entire bodies carbonized, their expressions showing they died with grievances.

“Anomaly Name: Wrongfully Killed Charred Corpse”

“Realm: Bronze Corpse (Green Flames)”

“Level: LV18”

“Strength: 75”

“Agility: 88”

“Spirit: 183”

“Health: 747”

“Skills: Charred Face, Meaty Scent, Intimidation”

“Description: A deceased person burned to death, whose grievances have not dissipated, congealing into a terrifying corpse.”

“Anomaly Name: Suffocated Dead Person”

“Realm: Bronze Corpse (Green Flames)”

“Level: LV21”

“Strength: 98”

“Agility: 101”

“Spirit: 155”

“Health: 947”

“Skills: Toxic Gas Inhalation, Toxic Smoke Dispersion, Suffocating Ghost”

“Description: A wronged person who died from inhaling too much toxic gas. After death, the malevolence in his chest is also very heavy.”

...“Everyone else hugs thighs, I hug jade legs, is that okay…”

“I’m counting on you!”

Lin Mo gasped, the monsters in the hard-difficulty novice instance were too strong.

“Don’t worry, My Lord…”

With a lift of the Water Domain Ghost King’s hand, Nether Water condensed in her palm, transforming into a sharp blade that instantly pierced through the Suffocated Dead Person, killing him in a single blow.

—3954

“Congratulations! You have successfully killed a ‘Suffocated Dead Person’ and gained 333 experience points.”

Only one was killed.

Lin Mo’s body flashed with golden light, and he directly leveled up 4 times.

“Congratulations on leveling up! All attributes +3. Current level: LV2”

“Congratulations on leveling up! All attributes +3. Current level: LV3”

“Congratulations on leveling up! All attributes +3. Current level: LV4”

“Holy moly! The experience here is so high!”

“Killing one gives over 300 points!”

Lin Mo didn't have time to be surprised; immediately after, numbers kept appearing.

—4256

—4521

—4835

...—5324

As the monsters in the instance fell one by one, the damage numbers dealt by the Water Domain Ghost King grew higher each time.

There was no other reason.

The Water Domain Ghost King’s level increased along with Lin Mo’s.

Lin Mo took a small step forward, and the Water Domain Ghost King took a big step forward.

In less than 10 minutes.

Lin Mo had already reached level 12.

The Water Domain Ghost King’s attributes were even more astonishing.

“Anomaly Name: Water Domain Ghost King”

“Realm: Mystic Corpse (obsidian)”

“Level: LV12 (Increases with host)”

“Strength: 7500”

“Agility: 8000”

“Spirit: 9000”

“Health: 1.05 million”

“Skills: Nether Surge of the Dark Lake, obsidian Water Prison, Ghost Lake Illusionary Swamp, Abyssal Water Curse Binding, Nether Water Corrodes Soul, Black Water Covers World, Water Shadow Concealment”

At the same time, the damage dealt by the Water Domain Ghost King had already reached over seven thousand.

Lin Mo estimated.

By the time he left this instance.

The Water Domain Ghost King’s damage should break ten thousand.

Easy and comfortable.

At this moment, he felt that the horror world was not so terrifying after all.

He took out his phone.

Opened the “Moving Corpse Master” APP… selected the personal information option.

Updated his current attribute information.

“Information successfully updated…”

“Congratulations! You have successfully reached Level 10.”

“You have met the qualifications to receive the official electronic skill book.”

“I can claim it now. Anyway, I already paid over 2000 yuan when I registered. If they don’t give me a skill book, that’s just too stingy.”

Lin Mo swiped his finger to the claim section.

“Official Incentive Activities are as follows:

65% chance to obtain an Iron Corpse (Grey Eyes) level skill book

25% chance to obtain a Bronze Corpse (Green Flames) level skill book

9.5% chance to obtain a Silver Corpse (Blue Markings) level skill book

0.5% chance to obtain a Gold Corpse (Red Pupils) level skill book”

“Congratulations! You have obtained: Gold Corpse (Red Pupils) level skill book ‘Life Soul Co-Contract’”

“Life Soul Co-Contract?”

He clicked on the electronic version and read it.

“Life Soul Co-Contract”

“Realm: Gold Corpse (Red Pupils)”

“Learning Level: LV10”

“Skill Description: Humans and ghosts form a contract, with the soul as the guide, sharing life and death, and real-time synchronization of life status.”

Holy moly, such good luck.

After two and a half years of transmigration, he finally had a lucky break.

He hadn't even won two yuan on a lottery ticket before.

Isn’t this the skill all Corpse Raisers dream of?

Sharing health points with the corpse.

In this way, his own health could be linked to the Water Domain Ghost King.

Reaching over 1 million.

It would be hard to die.

Moreover, with the invisibility spell, monsters wouldn't actively attack him.

It was simply double insurance!
