Zuo Lin'an didn't hesitate any longer when he thought of this.
He immediately took out his phone and ordered a 【Cultivation Card】.
“Chang Sheng, given the current situation, do you think you can cultivate the Puppet Vitalization Art to the point of truly vitalizing life within three to five years?”
Thinking of his current situation, Chang Sheng nodded very seriously.
“I can!”
“The success rate of my vitalization might be relatively low after three to five years, but I can definitely do it.”
Only then did Zuo Lin'an feel at ease.
“That's good.”
Perhaps by coincidence, right at this moment, the product he had listed earlier sold.
【The product you listed has been sold. You have received 3 Contribution points. Please pay attention to the shipping time.】
Originally, after ten Contribution points were deducted to purchase the Cultivation Card, he had sixteen points left. Now, it had become nineteen points.
“Not bad.”
Not long after, Zuo Lin'an saw the specter bus driving over from the distance.
He received the item he had purchased.
At the same time, he also packaged the product 【Liu Da】 and sent him onto the bus.
This specter bus didn't just deliver goods; it also collected them.
Not far away, Chang Sheng had initially been marveling at the specter bus.
But after seeing the scene of Zuo Lin'an bringing the unconscious Liu Da out of the white mist and packaging him onto the bus, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
In the end, he didn't say anything, nor did he show much expression.
He would probably see scenes like this many times in the future. He had to get used to it as quickly as possible.
Furthermore, he would absolutely never end up falling to the point of becoming a product.
This was enough.
Afterward, he focused his gaze on Zuo Lin'an's hand.
Or rather, on the box in his hand.
Naturally, the others were no exception, crowding around one after another.
Zuo Lin'an didn't hide anything. He opened the box right in front of everyone.
Lying quietly inside was a card only half the size of his palm.
He picked up the card, and it felt ice-cold to the touch.
Though it was very thin, it gave off a heavy, substantial feeling.
There were complex patterns along the edges of the card, and the words "Cultivation Card" were written in the middle. When they flipped it over, they saw a black flower.
Near the center of the petals were some blood-red lines. If one stared for too long, they could even see these lines contracting, as if something were flowing inside them.
Just like blood vessels.
However, looking closer, the card was still just a card, and the pattern was still just a pattern. There was nothing unusual at all, as if what they had just seen was merely an illusion.
After a brief observation, Zuo Lin'an used it directly.
He selected Chang Sheng as the target of use.
Before long, the card in his hand instantly shattered, turning into specks of starlight and vanishing.
“How does it feel?”
Chang Sheng took a deep breath to feel the effects.
“Extremely good.”
“I feel as if some sort of shackles have disappeared. My entire body feels a lot lighter.”
Zuo Lin'an nodded.
“As long as it's useful.”
This thing had cost him 10 Contribution points. If he didn't feel anything at all, he would have found it strange.
“Alright, disperse now. We'll have things like Cultivation Cards in the future.”
Even a landlord didn't have surplus grain to spare.
With that, he quickly returned to his room, leaving Chang Sheng standing there alone.
Looking at the three people staring at him, Chang Sheng felt a bit embarrassed.
“Well...”
“If there's nothing else, I... I'll go practice my secret art first.”
Not daring to linger at all, he quickly slipped away.
Lin Xiaolei looked at Chang Sheng's departing back and snorted softly.
“Grandpa, I want to learn your inheritances. I'll definitely be even more powerful than you in the future!”
The old Daoist was deeply gratified.
“Good, good. Come with me then.”
After returning to his room, Zuo Lin'an breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he sit down in his chair and flip through his phone.
He had originally planned to open the forum to see if there was any new information, and perhaps check out the bounties. If he was lucky, he might find something suitable.
However, he hadn't expected that the moment he took out his phone, he would receive a private message from Bai Yuan.
【Bai Yuan: Are you there? Has the dungeon ended?】
Bai Yuan?
Zuo Lin'an was somewhat puzzled. Why was he contacting him?
And via private message, at that.
Usually, they chatted in their small group.
【Zuo Lin'an: The dungeon ended successfully. Is something on your mind?】
Instead of replying with another message, Bai Yuan called him directly.
Zuo Lin'an found it a bit strange, but he still picked up the phone.
“Brother An!”
Hearing this form of address, Zuo Lin'an's eyebrows twitched.
“Do you need my help with something?”
Bai Yuan chuckled and didn't waste any time.
“There is indeed a small matter I need your help with.”
Zuo Lin'an knew it. For this guy to actively seek him out, using both private messages and phone calls, there was definitely something going on.
“Tell me, what is it?”
Speaking of which, with Bai Yuan having such a powerful older brother, what could he possibly need help with from a newbie dungeon boss like him?
Bai Yuan began to explain.
“I recently met a new friend. He's also a Two-Star dungeon boss. However, because his own rules aren't very strong, he exited early during the previous 【Wuxia World】.”
“This time, he plans to change his approach, so he wants to find a temporary partner to help him out.”
Zuo Lin'an frowned slightly.
“Change his approach? How so?”
Bai Yuan continued.
“He wants to completely discard the storyline and directly set his dungeon to a battle royale style.”
“He'll arrange for two specters to hunt them down, forcing the players to look for opportunities to clear the dungeon while evading the specters' attacks.”
“Like I said, his Death Rules aren't very strong, which is why he needs help.”
At this point, he suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, right!”
“I heard from Youyou before that once he becomes a Two-Star dungeon boss, he wants to piggyback on your dungeon. But from what I can see, although both of your Death Rules are very strong, they have absolutely nothing to do with each other.”
“Therefore, trying to set up a storyline that perfectly integrates both of you will likely be extremely difficult.”
Zuo Lin'an nodded inwardly. He had to admit that Bai Yuan had hit the nail on the head.
He actually was currently worrying about this very issue.
Bai Yuan continued, “That's why I'm introducing you to this battle royale dungeon that doesn't require setting up a complex storyline at all. How about it? Do you want to give it a try and learn the ropes first?”
Zuo Lin'an pondered carefully.
Although he didn't know what kind of Death Rules Xu Youyou was working on for now, they certainly wouldn't have anything to do with his own rules.
Besides, that guy Xu Youyou was afraid of ghosts.
For this 【Paranormal World】, he definitely wouldn't open a dungeon all on his own, which meant they would likely open their dungeons together in the future.
However, once 【Paranormal World】 ended, Xu Youyou would inevitably return to his own dungeon.
If he went through a massive amount of trouble to modify his own storyline, and even went so far as to perfect the buildings and other aspects inside the dungeon to fit the revised plot...
Then once Xu Youyou returned to his own dungeon, wouldn't most of these changes have to be discarded?
That wouldn't do.
Having Xu Youyou integrate into his own dungeon's storyline would most likely not work.
Since that was the case, he might as well take Bai Yuan's advice.
Although he didn't necessarily have to set his dungeon to a battle royale style, this type of dungeon that didn't require setting up a plot was indeed something he needed to consider.
Why not... go take a look?
