Main World
Bang bang…
At the village blacksmith, Yang Tao was supervising the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith as he handcrafted business cards. The Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith took the gold ingot from Yang Tao and placed it on the anvil.
He raised his hammer and struck the gold ingot.
Ding ding…
This time, the craft might be a bit troublesome. The Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith used his 'random smashing hammer technique', striking it seven or eight times in a row. Only then did the original gold ingot transform into stacks of gold sheets of uniform size and thickness.
"Brave One, the business cards you asked for are ready…"
Yang Tao paused, then stepped forward, picked up a business card, and examined it carefully.
Simple, yet grand.
But the problem was…
He truly couldn't figure out how the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith managed to flatten the gold ingot into thin sheets and even imprint text on them with just a few strikes.
Normally, he was the one surprising others, but this time, it was his turn to be surprised.
The business cards were imprinted with the universal script from Minecraft. Regardless of the language spoken by the person, they would understand the meaning of the text on the card the moment they saw it.
Yang Tao nodded with satisfaction, took an emerald from his backpack, and handed it to the eagerly awaiting Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith.
"Study it well. You'll have no shortage of emeralds in the future… Oh, right, go to the village later and call over the village blacksmith. See if he can change his profession to a Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith like you, so he can assist you."
Yang Tao had already discovered that the reason Villagers needed emeralds was not simply for collection but for use. Although he didn't understand the principle, it was indeed the case.
"Understood, Brave One. Um… can I also make some business cards?"
Looking at the expectant Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith, Yang Tao smiled and said, "Of course, but try not to make them in the same style as mine."
Yang Tao would naturally agree to such a harmless request. However, just thinking about the scene of two Villagers meeting and exchanging business cards was so amusing that he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Of course not!"
The Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith replied with determination, looking as if he had everything under control. Yang Tao nodded slightly and put all the remaining business cards from the anvil into his backpack.
"You go ahead and study it yourself. I'm leaving now."
With that, Yang Tao turned and left, playing with the business card in his hand. As he pondered whether to use a flying card trick to hand over the card or to stylishly hold it between two fingers, a wooden door to the spiritual world opened.
Elisa stumbled out, leaning against the doorframe. Her originally pale complexion… well, that hadn't changed.
However, black energy constantly surged around her, like boiling steam.
Seeing this, Yang Tao immediately put aside thoughts of the business cards and ran over to support her, asking with concern, "Elisa, what's wrong? Are there still such powerful ghosts in this world?"
Elisa waved her hand.
"It's not a ghost? Could it be that there are gods in that world? If there are ghosts, then it's not surprising to have gods. Are you seriously injured?"
Elisa squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "Ate too much…"
Yang Tao: "…"
So you're treating the spiritual world like a buffet, huh? Go in leaning on the wall, come out leaning on the wall?
"I'll go back and sort out my power first… Oh, right, I think I found the protagonist you mentioned."
Saying that, she reached out and handed him a slip of paper.
After glancing at the slip of paper, and then at Elisa, who was enveloped in black energy, Yang Tao sighed and said, "I'll send you back first. You can slowly control your surging power once you're back."
Elisa nodded.
After sending her back to Silent Hill, Yang Tao took out the slip of paper, wondering at the same time if there were really so many ghosts in the spiritual world.
[Watanabe High School]
[Yotsuya Miko]
"Yotsuya Miko? Never heard of her…"
The unknown always brings some trouble.
However, since Elisa felt she was the protagonist, he had to go take a look. He couldn't let Elisa's good intentions go to waste.
He threw the slip of paper into the magma trash can and turned to walk towards the wooden door leading to the spiritual world.
He reached out, opened the wooden door, and stepped inside.
He appeared inside a pitch-black building, surrounded by silence, without any sound.
"Looks like an unfinished building… But what's with these caution tapes?"
"Is it a haunted building?"
Considering Elisa's situation of having eaten too much, the probability of this being a haunted building was almost 100%.
However, whether it could still be considered a haunted building now was unknown.
Leaving the building, Yang Tao looked up at the sky. The sky was already showing a hint of dawn, indicating that it was almost morning.
"Watanabe High School…"
Yang Tao didn't know the exact location of this high school.
"Never mind, I'll ask someone when I see them…"
Just then, a swaying figure approached from the side. Yang Tao's heart immediately filled with joy: "Isn't this exactly what I needed? But this guy is pretty impressive; he can drink until dawn…"
Yang Tao walked forward and said in a very polite tone, "Excuse me, could you please tell me how to get to Watanabe High School?"
The figure in front of him stopped swaying upon hearing Yang Tao's words, its gaze fixed on him.
"You… can see me?"
Black mist emerged from its body, its originally normal form began to twist, its skin gradually rotted, and the eyeballs in its eye sockets fell out, connected only by bloody nerve lines.
It kept muttering, "You can see me… you can see me…"
"You actually! Can! See me!!"
The fully transformed vengeful spirit suddenly let out a loud roar and lunged at Yang Tao with its mutated hands.
However…
A strong, powerful palm directly clutched its slender neck.
Bang… Its body was slammed heavily onto the ground.
"I just asked for directions, and you want to eat people? Are all ghosts in Japan so impolite?"
Yang Tao, looking displeased, reached out and grabbed the ghost's ankle.
"Today, I'll make you fly!"
With both hands, he forcefully threw it high into the air. Accompanied by a gunshot, this rookie-level vengeful spirit with 21 health points instantly dissipated into the air, leaving only some experience orbs falling from the sky.
Yang Tao blew on the gun barrel, then absorbed the experience orbs from the ground into his body.
"It's almost dawn, and this ghost still dares to wander the streets. That's just too rampant."
However, what happened next in this city completely exceeded his imagination.
A hundred ghosts ran rampant!
It wasn't just a night parade of a hundred ghosts anymore; after the sun came out, the number of people on the streets increased, but so did the number of ghosts.
Among them were quite a few powerful ghosts with over a hundred health points.
But he also discovered a problem: these ghosts wouldn't harm people as long as you couldn't see them. At most, they would just absorb energy from people's bodies.
'No wonder… no wonder Elisa could eat until she was full… It would be too easy to cultivate a ghost king if one had the ability and time.'
