Upon hearing that, Lin Fan understood why Wang Baole knew so much about ghosts.
All the ghost stories this guy knew were inseparable from romantic affairs.
After finishing one, Wang Baole was about to continue when Lin Fan stopped him and changed the topic. "Baole, how's your cultivation of the Blood Nurturing Technique coming along?"
Wang Baole's smile faded, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face. "I haven't made any progress."
"Then you have to work hard!"
Lin Fan said as he pulled Wang Baole out of the dormitory. He then secretly took out the Blood Flourishing Pill that Xue Hansan had given him and handed it to Wang Baole. "This is for you. It's much stronger than the Blood Revitalization Pill."
Wang Baole's eyes widened when he saw the Blood Flourishing Pill. "Blood Flourishing Pill!
This is good medicine. Where did you get it? "
"Don't ask about that."
Lin Fan lowered his voice and said seriously, "In the future, don't tell anyone about what happened between us."
Wang Baole nodded seriously and took the Blood Flourishing Pill. "No, Lin Fan, this medicine is too expensive. I can't take it for free. How about this? It's time for me to buy some pills. I'll buy this Blood Flourishing Pill."
Lin Fan said, "If you want to pay, just pay according to the market price."
"Deal." Wang Baole took out a small bag and took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan kept it and said, "Baole, I didn't expect you to know so much about pills."
Wang Baole laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Sigh, others might not know, but you know me well. I'm a little lazy by nature, so I rely on pills to cultivate."
"Pills are only supplementary. Cultivation still requires hard work." Lin Fan patted Wang Baole on the shoulder and stopped trying to persuade him.
It was only because it was Wang Baole that he tried to persuade him. If it were anyone else, he would not have bothered.
…
After the incident with Lei Jun, the investigation of the murderous spirits became difficult and almost impossible to continue.
The twelve cases had yet to be solved, and there were still murderous spirits that had yet to be completely wiped out.
It was at this moment that another disaster occurred.
Two towns and three villages under the rule of Qingyang County were completely wiped out by the zombies.
Such a large-scale massacre of villages had never occurred in Qingyang County for decades.
After the incident, the county government took it very seriously and immediately sent out the Patrol Office and 200 county soldiers to investigate.
At the same time, the Haitian Gang and the Black Tiger were assigned to work together.
After the order was issued, the Haitian Gang immediately responded and sent out their elite disciples. They also picked out outstanding disciples from the inner disciples to investigate and kill the zombies.
After this incident, the task of investigating and killing the Ferocious Spirits was completed ahead of schedule, and the Heroes List was listed ahead of schedule.
Lin Fan was naturally at the top of the Heroes List.
In second place was Lei Jun.
The third was a disciple called Mo Qi.
He was listed on the list because he killed a Ferocious Demon.
Lin Fan killed a total of six Ferocious Spirits, which was three times as much as Lei Jun's.
After Lei Jun got Lin Fan's knack, he thought that he could vigorously investigate and kill the Ferocious Spirits and catch up with Lin Fan's results. However, he fell far behind Lin Fan and aroused a lot of public resentment. Lei Jun had a bad reputation among the people of Qingyang City.
However, Lei Jun didn't seem to care about this. He was more concerned about the Heroes List.
After the list was listed, Lei Jun didn't even look at it because he didn't have the face to do so. He felt that the second place was a humiliation to him.
Lin Fan didn't look at it either because he didn't have time.
The massacre of villages by zombies worried Lin Fan. Fortunately, Sanmiao Village was not included in the slaughtered villages. Otherwise, the two elders in his family would not have survived.
At this time, Lin Fan was burning with anxiety. He wanted to go back to his hometown and bring his parents from Sanmiao Village to live in the city.
Before that, he first went to Xue Hansan to exchange his points.
Seeing that Lin Fan had come to find him, Xue Hansan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Lin Fan. You're on the top of the Heroes List. You're famous in our Haitian Gang. Now, even the gang leader knows about you. The elders in the gang are waiting for you to reach three thousand points so that they can take you from Mei Dadao and train you carefully. They want to cultivate you into a peerless figure …"
"Coincidentally, now is the time for you to become an elite disciple. Our Haitian Gang has also received orders from the county government to send outstanding disciples to investigate and kill the zombies. Lin Fan is on the top of the Heroes List. Naturally, you're duty-bound to take on this mission. Lin Fan, if I were you, I would work hard to kill more zombies and become an elite disciple as soon as possible …"
Oh right, I forgot to tell you. I'm still in charge of the new disciples for this mission.
Lin Fan, you can't act alone for this mission. The zombies are very powerful. It's too dangerous for you guys.
I hope you can team up with someone. I recommend Lei Jun. Although Lei Jun is a little reckless, he's still strong. If the two of you team up, your safety will be greatly increased … "
Lin Fan was anxious to finish exchanging his points and rush back to his hometown. However, he didn't expect to hear Xue Hansan talking non-stop. He didn't even have a chance to interrupt. He couldn't help but frown. When Xue Hansan finished speaking, he anxiously said, "Hall Master Xue, I'm here to exchange all my points for silver."
Haitian Gang disciples had two uses for their points. One was to exchange them for material objects, and the other was to show their achievements.
To see how much a disciple contributed to the gang, it depended on their points.
For example, if a new disciple wanted to become an elite disciple, it depended on whether the disciple had contributed three thousand points to the gang.
This was like a person's reputation. It wouldn't be erased just because the points were exchanged.
For example, Lin Fan was now exchanging all his points for silver. His points were reset to zero, but his points were still there.
After reaching three thousand points, he could still become an elite disciple.
"Exchange all your points for silver?" Xue Hansan smiled bitterly. "No way, Lin Fan, you're not really going to marry a wife, are you?"
"Hall Master Xue, let's not joke about this." Lin Fan said, "I have an urgent matter."
"Mm, no problem."
Xue Hansan said, "But you have to be careful. With so much silver in hand, people will be jealous."
After reminding him, Xue Hansan exchanged Lin Fan's 2,350 points for silver. Then, he issued an exchange ticket to Lin Fan.
After Lin Fan received the ticket, he said to Xue Hansan, "Hall Master Xue, I'll accept the mission to investigate and kill the zombies. However, I still have to think about forming a team."
With that, Lin Fan turned and left.
"Hey, Lin Fan, if you kill a zombie, remember to cut off its head and bring it back. 300 points will be recorded for each zombie killed. Bronze-armored corpses will be counted separately."
Lin Fan thought to himself, Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had said so, I would have cut off the head of the Bronze-armored Corpse and brought it back.
After receiving the exchange ticket, Lin Fan didn't immediately exchange it for silver. Instead, he went to Hongbin Restaurant to find his uncle.
In Qingyang City, the Haitian Gang had its own ticket account and bank. With this exchange ticket, he could go to these two places to withdraw silver at any time.
When he arrived at Hongbin Restaurant, he found Xia Qiusheng.
Xia Qiusheng said, "Afan, I was just about to look for you. The zombie riot is massacring the village. I'm afraid that Sanmiao Village will also suffer, so …"
Without waiting for Xia Qiusheng to finish, Lin Fan said, "That's why I'm here. I'll rush back to my hometown to pick up my parents."
As he spoke, he took out the exchange ticket and handed it over. "These are the points I've earned since I became an official. The exchange ticket has already been issued. You have a lot of connections, so you asked someone to buy a house for my parents to live in."
"Mm." Xia Qiusheng took the exchange ticket and glanced at it. He couldn't help but be shocked. "So many!?"
