My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 31 First Visit to the Forum
"You have obtained the skill of reviving dead trees."

"This technique can quickly cure all kinds of internal and external injuries. Even though you are far from mastering it, it is not difficult to heal the beggar's broken legs. Do you want to heal his legs?"

Two choices, leave or get treatment.

Looking at the text on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and finally decided to choose treatment. If the beggar hadn't given him the "Miraculous Hands of Rejuvenation", he would not have been able to learn the technique of reviving dead trees. This was his reward for it.

"You decided to follow your heart."

"You cast the spell of reviving dead trees on the beggar, and the beggar's broken leg quickly recovered."

"It is very grateful to you."

"But because you cured the beggar's legs, you angered the nobleman, and he sent people to block you in the alley."

"Although your physical fitness has been strengthened, it is still no match for the power of bullets."

"You've been riddled with bullets."

"You are dead."

"You come to the world of the dead again. You stand at the ferry of the underworld. Death still refuses to take the cursed you."

Well, another eight hours of death penalty.

Jiang Xinghuo put down his phone and looked at the time. Eight hours had passed, and it was already evening. It was raining heavily outside and there were not many customers in the store. It was a rare day off.

But at this moment, Jiang Xinghuo accidentally saw the business card left by Jiang Cheng.

I picked it up and saw his contact information on the front and a website address printed on the back.

He remembered what Jiang Cheng said before he left. He had nothing to do now, so he took out his mobile phone, opened the browser, typed in the web address, and the screen immediately jumped to a forum interface.

"Folklore Forum..."

Looking at the title above, Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

【Please select a language. 】

Then, another option popped up on the interface. When I clicked it, I saw dozens of national languages ​​​​listed on it. Chinese is just one of them, and users can choose according to their needs.

Jiang Xinghuo directly chose Chinese and then officially entered the forum. What appeared before him was a page full of text information.

It looks a bit crude, but it displays everyone's posts very intuitively.

As for the user ID, it was already registered when entering the forum. It seems to be bound to the game and is also 'Anonymous'.

Jiang Xinghuo slid the screen and took a casual look. The content of most posts was about games.

Some players asked for strategies for a certain map, some players invited other players to play the map together, and some players sold the props and skills they obtained.

But what surprised him was that there was no post in the forum mentioning those players being killed.

Is it that no one knows these things, or that they know but cannot speak out for some reason?

Jiang Xinghuo guessed that it was most likely the latter.

He pondered for a while, opened the search bar at the top of the page, and typed in the three words "Long Yin Hui".

Jiang Xinghuo wanted to ask this question earlier when he was at the Public Opinion Research Bureau.

But after thinking about it, I gave up the idea. It is better to be cautious about some things.

soon.

Relevant information has come out.

But most of the posts that were searched were vague, just saying that this force was very strong, and among the domestic players, it was one of the most powerful forces, and could compete head-on with the Public Opinion Bureau without losing. Jiang Xinghuo's eyes were thoughtful, and being able to compete with official agencies without losing was enough to explain everything.

for the rest of the time.

Jiang Xinghuo has been hanging out in the forum and has learned a lot of information about that world, and has also gained a lot of useful things.

Just as he had thought before, there was not only him but also other players exploring the Dragon City map.

Among them, a user with the ID "Exorcist Taoist" gave a clue about "Xikai Hutong".

Jiang Xinghuo opened the game and looked back at the game records.

"Xikai Hutong is the most famous haunted house in Longcheng. Even in the daytime, it is filled with gloomy air. Many strange and bizarre supernatural events have occurred there."

The exorcist said in the post that there are many good things hidden in the abandoned old house at the end of Xikai Hutong.

He went in to explore three times, and although he died in there three times, he was able to obtain a valuable high-quality prop every time. Below are a few photos of the props.

The double pupils appear, and the Tathagatagarbha is triggered.

Information surged in Jiang Xinghuo's pupils, and he quickly saw through the details of the two props.

"The Demon-Subduing Bell (excellent item), the Sanqing Bell used by the Heavenly Master in the Luotian Grand Ceremony, has the ability to suppress all ghosts and demons."

"Blood Dropper (Excellent Equipment), a weapon used by the assassin organization 'Sticky Rod Division' in the inner court of the palace during the old dynasty. It has the ability to drain blood and automatically lock onto anyone within a hundred meters and fly out to take their heads."

Looking at the content and photos of the post, Jiang Xinghuo could only see two words from the inside out - fishing! !

This grandson probably has no good intentions. He is obviously setting a trap to encourage people to fall into it.

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and was about to quit the game when several messages suddenly popped up on the interface.

"You are walking on the road to the underworld."

"You triggered the Yellow Springs map."

"You found a path in the thick fog, extending to an unknown place. Do you want to go and check it out?"

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes flashed, and he immediately chose yes.

He always believed that the underworld, like the world of the living, hid many unknown secrets, but he had never been able to trigger the plot in the underworld. This time he finally had a chance.

"You choose to go over and check it out."

"You feel your way along the path."

"You see a figure flashing behind the fog. What do you decide to do next? Do you avoid it? Or do you go towards it?"

"Please note that after you die in the underworld, your body will not be harmed, but the physical penalty will be doubled."

Double the physical penalty?
Every time he dies, he has to wait eight hours before he can continue playing the game. If the physical penalty is doubled, he will need to rest for sixteen hours before he can start the game again.

I wonder if scapegoats have any effect in the underworld?
Jiang Xinghuo looked at the time. More than four hours had passed. If he died again, he would have to wait twelve hours before he could continue the game. It was hard to say whether it was cost-effective or not. It depended on what he gained. So, it was better to be careful.

"You chose to avoid that figure."

"You continue walking along the path under your feet, and soon, you come to the end of the path."

"You saw a ruined temple."

"You have discovered the temple left behind by the ancient powerful 'Fengdu'."
