I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2182 Writing a Letter
Chen Lin stopped Tie Zhu's actions and then placed the peach in front of him.

Observe carefully for a while.

He asked, "Do you want to go out, or stay with me? If you go out, there will be people looking after you, so don't worry about your safety."

“If you come with me, I can’t guarantee I can get you into the portal. After all, you just completed a mission, and according to the rules, you have to wait ten years between missions. I can only give it a try.”

There was no pause.

He immediately added, "If you want to go out, you don't need to react at all. If you want to stay on me and try it out, just shake it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the peach trembled.

Tie Zhu was immediately discouraged.

He huffed and puffed, "Fine, my good intentions have been wasted. I can't even be touched by this protagonist. Dad, you take him with you."

"Then give it a try. The rules aren't so easy to break. It depends on your luck."

Chen Lin had not encountered such a situation.

He was now out of the life mission space but still inside the top hat building. He didn't know if he could re-enter the portal.

It's a one-off attempt.

However, Chen Lin felt that it was highly unlikely.

If it's possible to get in this way, then the rule requiring an interval between the two times is flawed. At the level of a life-saving ferry, such a loophole shouldn't exist.

Even the time that living beings can stay in this corridor is limited, so as not to be used as a sanctuary by the creatures of this place.

really.

Chen Lin, holding a peach, arrived at the portal and attempted to activate the letter quest portal, but encountered an obstacle.

It failed to achieve its intended effect.

The light gate did not react at all.

He placed the peach on the ground and tried again. The light gate immediately emitted energy fluctuations and generated an attractive force.

It is obvious that regardless of whether they leave the top hat building, the life experience participants cannot continuously enter the light gate. To enter, they need to try using the energy of the iron pillar.

"Do you have the ability to break the rules?"

Chen Lin questioned Tie Zhu.

My son can even navigate through the treasure chest of life, so there shouldn't be any problem here.

"It's possible, but bringing people along would consume a lot of energy. Would Dad be willing to do that?"

Chen Lin's expression froze.

He immediately shook his head and said, "I can't bear to part with it. Let's send it out first, and then you can come back in yourself, using as little energy as possible."

There's only one piece of the variegated crystal left, and only three bottles of the iridescent crystal; we can't just waste them.

As soon as these words came out.

Chen Lin felt the peach in his hand tremble violently, and a wave of sadness washed over him. The originally plump peach shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Seeing this scene, Chen Lin was also overcome with sadness.

"What an amazing ability!"

Tie Zhu exclaimed in surprise.

He immediately said to Chen Lin, "Why don't we take it with us? I'll conserve my energy. This peach might be able to help you during the mission, Dad. It would be such a waste if it committed suicide if we disagreed."

"Okay, then I'll carry it with me."

Chen Lin said to Taozi.

The peach immediately stopped shriveling, but it didn't recover either. Instead, it remained wrinkled and bruised. Its condition wasn't due to emotions, but rather because its life was truly slipping away.

"Shall we go in now? I can't wait to experience this journey of life!"

The iron rod swayed back and forth on Chen Lin's bracelet.

Chen Lin shook his head.

"No rush, let me write a letter first and see if it works."

Done.

He took out a quill pen and tried to activate the light gate for writing letters.

The light gate was successfully activated.

"Sure enough."

Chen Lin nodded slightly.

Although both leaving the top hat building and staying there are subject to the interval rules, it is possible to ignore the interval time and enter another portal without leaving.

This should be the original purpose of the corridor.

I didn’t think much more about it.

Chen Lin put the peaches into the cave and entered the light gate.

With a flash, he appeared in an antique-style room. The room was not large, with a desk in the middle, on which were the Four Treasures of the Study and a stack of envelopes.

There was nothing else there.

Chen Lin looked around and walked to the desk.

His gaze lingered on the quill pen for a moment, then fell upon the inkstone and ink stick, with a stack of letter paper beside them.

Except for the lack of stamps, everything is basically complete.

Instead of writing a letter immediately, Chen Lin probed the cave with his divine sense and, seeing that the peach was not acting strangely, released Hua Yi.

It went very smoothly.

After understanding the situation, Chen Lin explained it to Hua Yi and asked her to observe while he reached for the quill pen.

Since the Four Treasures of the Study are all here, there's no need to use it. Just write it down and then stick on a stamp. I guess the stamp is the key to sending the letter.

Just thought of this.

Chen Lin was taken aback, unable to pick up the quill pen, but a notification sound appeared in his mind.

"All items require payment in Life Coins: three quills per use, three inks per use, and one sheet of stationery per use."

"in addition."

"Making a wish also requires spending Life Coins. Different wishes have different values. Please place enough Life Coins on your desk, and they will be deducted directly when you make a wish."

Chen Lin's face twitched.

Shake his head.

He withdrew his hand, then took out twenty coins and placed them on the desk.

Then I picked up the ink stick.

Three of the coins melted instantly, like snowballs thrown into a stove, and as the ink stick was gently ground, the inkstone quickly filled with ink.

Chen Lin was not surprised.

He had already prepared a draft in mind. After laying out the letter paper, he dipped his quill pen in ink and began to write the content.

"Dear participant in the life experience, I am glad that you received this letter."

"I am a tiny creature struggling to survive, constantly facing oppression from the powerful. This time I have encountered an insurmountable crisis, and I hope you can help me resolve it."

"First."

"Help me kill Fu Tianduo in the Peach Blossom Sea of ​​the Seven Star Realm, but you must do so secretly and not reveal my identity."

Chen Lin wrote down his first wish.

He didn't know how many wishes could be made from a letter, nor had he inquired about it beforehand. The authority to issue tasks seemed difficult to obtain and not uniform. Neither Yanli nor Adaya were very clear about it and could only figure it out on their own.

"Insufficient Life Coins. This wish requires thirty Life Coins."

The prompt sounded in my mind.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

This prompt contains a lot of information.

First of all, life's tasks are not always in high-dimensional scenarios; low-dimensional scenarios are also possible.

However, he speculated that there should be certain restrictions on who would accept the mission, and it was unlikely that they would enter a space lower than their own level, as that would be too easy.

Secondly, the Ferry of Life can monitor the entire cultivation world, or at least most of the regions. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to know the difficulty of the mission just because he wrote down the Seven Star Realm Peach Sea.

This is really scary.

Chen Lin even suspected that this cultivation world might be orchestrated by some powerful figure, with everything operating under their observation, and the Ferry of Life being a game set up by them.

of course.

There is another possibility. That is, the ferry of life can peer into the memories of those who enter. In that case, the wishes made based on one's own memories would naturally be clearly understood.

Chen Lin felt the latter was more likely.

Even so, it's terrifying enough.

But that doesn't matter.

No matter how high the ferry's level or how wondrous its abilities, it cannot affect him at this stage.

What truly sent chills down Chen Lin's spine was that the ferry could issue killing missions at will, as long as one had enough Life Coins.

This doesn't matter to the person issuing the task; they benefit from success and only lose some life coins if they fail.

But for the people being hunted, it's a huge pitfall!

Because they have no idea when danger will strike or who the enemy will be, they are completely unable to defend themselves.

"What a rip-off!"

Chen Lin muttered to himself.

He has offended many people, and someone might issue a mission to hunt him down. He can't be on guard all the time, or he'll eventually have a mental breakdown.

He had even been given tasks before, but he just didn't know it.

Chen Lin's mind raced, trying to recall if he had ever been targeted for no reason, but there were too many suspicious points to be sure.

Because one's life mission is not necessarily to kill; it could be other strange and unusual situations, such as him making Nana wash his feet, which he might not even know happened.

Chen Lin composed himself and began making revisions.

Overthinking is useless.

He can't change the rules of life's journey; worrying unnecessarily will only affect his state of mind. There are countless strange and wonderful things in the cultivation world, so there's no need to dwell on things that haven't happened yet.

After checking off what he had written before, Chen Lin decided to write a slightly simpler task. He didn't have enough Life Coins to spare, so he had no choice but to change it.

but.

Just as Chen Lin crossed out the message, the notification sound rang again.

"Please do not scribble large areas on your personal letter. Please use a different letter paper."

Chen Lin grinned.

As expected, it's the same old "Life Ferry" game, full of ways to trick you into accepting tasks and ripping off your "Life Coins."

Helpless, he could only pick up the letter on the table, and one of his life coins disappeared.

Fortunately, the ink wasn't recalculated, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss.

Chen Lin did not write about the execution of Fu Tianduo again.

Actually, removing the prerequisite of not revealing one's identity would definitely reduce the amount of Life Coins, but that would be meaningless. He came here to issue the mission precisely because he didn't want to make enemies with Four Seasons Manor.

I thought about it.

He dipped his brush in ink and began to write slowly.

"Dear participant in this life experience, thank you for accepting my task."

"I am now trapped in a strange place with many dangers. I hope you can take my place and leave Peach Sea without anyone noticing, and go to Red Umbrella Star."

Swish!
There are twelve fewer Life Coins on the desk.

Chen Lin's expression shifted.

This task is quite difficult, but I didn't expect it to only require twelve Life Coins.

But then I thought about it again, and even the best rating only gives you ten Life Coins, and a very good rating only gives you five. Twelve is already quite a lot.

Looking at the remaining coins on the table, Chen Lin continued writing.

"in addition."

Chen Lin continued writing.

"Please investigate as much as possible how to get rid of the old fisherman of Tianhu and how to leave Xingxu secretly."

"It would be better if we could go directly to the Star Ruins."

This was something Chen Lin had already planned out.

He has a theory that when life carrier pigeons select life letters, they also need to match them with the identity and strength of the life experiencer, rather than being completely random.

If the matched life experience participant is a powerful being in a star-shattered realm, then his mission is not a problem at all.

However, the moment the pen touched the paper, a notification sound rang out.

"Life coins are insufficient; this wish requires one hundred life coins."

Chen Lin's expression changed drastically!

It's not about the quantity of Life Coins, but the meaning behind that quantity.

The secret assassination of Fu Tianduo only requires 30 Life Coins, but this wish requires 100, increasing the difficulty by more than three times.

The difficulty certainly didn't come from gathering information, but from his final mention of leaving the Star Seven Star Realm.

Chen Lin felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he learned about the difficulty of leaving the Star Ruins through this method, but the result was not what he wanted to see.

a long time.

He took a deep breath and pondered how to make the changes.

Knowing the difficulty is good, so he won't be blindly arrogant and plunge headlong into danger, losing his life.

Now, all we need to do is figure out Fu Tianduo's true strength so that we can roughly predict how difficult it will be to leave the Seven Star Realm and make corresponding preparations.

Comfort yourself.

Chen Lin continued writing.

"of course."

"Leaving the Seven Star Realm is very difficult, and success is not a given. Just give it a try."

As the writing was completed, all the Life Coins on the table disappeared.

Chen Lin felt a pang of heartache.

More than twenty Life Coins were used up just like that, and it was uncertain whether the task could be completed, or even whether anyone would accept the task.

Perhaps when this letter was randomly selected, he had already been captured by the slave-hunting team, or perhaps he left Peach Blossom Sea on his own and entered Star Ruins.

However, since he had written it that way, Chen Lin wouldn't dwell on it.

This was his hope, and also an experiment.

He wanted to find out what it meant to have someone else complete the task in his place, in order to deduce more information about the journey of life.

With only a few Life Coins left in his pocket, Chen Lin stopped making wishes.

After signing his name at the bottom, he picked up an envelope from the table and put the letter inside.

The envelope even included a Life Coin, leaving Chen Lin speechless.

Fortunately, there was no charge for affixing the stamp, and after it was successfully affixed, a carrier pigeon flew in, picked up the letter, and flew out of the room.

next moment.

Chen Lin and Hua Yi were both expelled and returned to the corridor.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Hua asked a question.

"Of course, we should continue entering the portal to accept missions. Posting missions is unreliable; only by becoming stronger can we solve the problem!"

Tie Zhu was launched into the air, as if afraid that Chen Lin would choose to leave.

However, Chen Lin showed no intention of leaving.

Firstly, Tie Zhu is right. Relying on issuing tasks to solve problems is not necessarily successful; strengthening oneself is the true path.

and also.

Whether writing a letter counts as completing the task of leaving the Nightmare Realm is still undecided. If it doesn't, he would have to wait a thousand years to re-enter the building after leaving it, and he couldn't wait that long.

So I still have to take on life's missions.

"Let's go in and see what kind of letter we'll receive this time."

Once the decision was made, Chen Lin did not hesitate. He put Hua Yi into the Jade Pendant of the Cave Heaven and let Tie Zhu enter the Fruit Core Cave Heaven to help Tao Zi resolve the rules of the ferry and prevent it from being affected by the time interval.

Simultaneously observe the changes in the blue alien race.

Then, straightening his robes, he entered the portal with a blank expression.
