BXBX NOVEL Chapter 17 - Perfect-Grade Ghost Binding Contract Issued! Invitation from the Innkeeper!
After helping the accountant ghost up from the ground, he checked his task rewards.
【Task Details: Single expenditure amount exceeding 30,000 (30,000/30,000)】
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully completing Task Two, “Spending Freely”! Reward: Ghost Binding Contract (Perfect-Grade) * 5 has been issued!】
【New task unlocked!】
Seeing the ghost contracts in his inventory, Lin Yu felt a wave of satisfaction.
How refreshing!
Taking out a ghost contract, he examined it.
It looked like a thin piece of rice paper, but a gray mist swirled within it.
On it were shifting, ink-colored characters that appeared quite eerie.
【Ghost Binding Contract (Perfect-Grade): Allows you to form a contract with a ghost regardless of rank. Additionally, the ghost bound by the contract cannot retaliate or betray and will have absolute loyalty and obedience, effective for life!】
Satisfied with the contract’s effects, Lin Yu nodded approvingly.
Nice. No need to worry about “ghosts” turning on me in the future!
This ghost contract is truly deserving of its perfect-grade rating!
Lin Yu could easily deduce that ordinary ghost contracts likely wouldn’t have such strong control over ghosts!
However, he only had five contracts for now and couldn’t waste them.
At the very least, the accountant ghost, who was overjoyed and kowtowed in gratitude for just three strings of ghost copper coins… had too low of a status!
It wasn’t worth using a contract on him!
Little did Lin Yu know, if the bearded uncle or other ghost tamers outside knew of his thoughts, they’d be stunned!
A fierce ghost-level spirit like this, if contractable, would drive any ghost tamer to madness!
Yet Lin Yu… wasn’t impressed!
After putting away the ghost contracts for now, Lin Yu didn’t immediately check his newly issued task, because from the back door, the cook ghost returned!
“Brother, I’ve prepared a dish using ghost ingredients!”
The cook ghost carried a new food box, laughing heartily.
“Come, have a taste!” The cook ghost said, opening the food box in front of Lin Yu, and took out a plate with black, thin slices tinged with blood, arranged in a circular pattern.
“This is my first time using ghosts as ingredients, so let’s see how it turns out!” the cook said eagerly.
Lin Yu, looking at this “ghost dish,” was a bit shocked.
Though it didn’t look fancy, it was definitely an improvement over intestines and fingers!
He picked up a slice with his chopsticks and placed it in his mouth.
It melted instantly, refreshing and cooling… surprisingly tasty!
【Ding! Consumed a fierce ghost’s essence! Spirit Power +1!】
【Current Level: First-Rank Ghost Tamer】
【Spiritual Sense: 10】
【Spirit Power: 101】
【Spirit Power reaching 500 and Spiritual Sense reaching 50 will promote you to Second-Rank Ghost Tamer!】
It even increased his spirit power!
Lin Yu beamed and gave the cook a thumbs-up.
“Delicious and nutritious! Clean and hygienic!”
The cook laughed heartily at Lin Yu’s praise, wiping his hands on his leather apron, then sat down, starting to eat and drink with Lin Yu.
“Brother, you inspired me!”
Lin Yu generously brought out another bottle of Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine, drinking with the cook.
Though Lin Yu wouldn’t gain any more spiritual benefits from drinking, the fierce ghost’s essence had no limitations!
【Ding! Consumed a fierce ghost’s essence! Spirit Power +1!】
【Ding! Consumed a fierce ghost’s essence! Spirit Power +1!】
Lin Yu kept picking up his chopsticks, as the notifications continued,【Spirit Power: 197】
After the meal, his spirit power had almost reached 200!
Meanwhile, the three others and the accountant ghost watched Lin Yu and the cook ghost drink and dine together… completely numb with shock!
This kid was a total monster!
The bearded uncle felt more convinced than ever… that those rumors about hidden ghost-taming families and sects must be true!
How else could Lin Yu pull off moves like this?!
Soon, the meal came to an end.
With the heavy sound of a watchman’s drumbeat, the innkeeper’s voice echoed.
“All right… mealtime is over!
“Old Li, take them to their rooms to rest!”
The accountant ghost nodded respectfully. “Understood, innkeeper!”
The cook ghost, a bit reluctant, cast a regretful glance at Lin Yu, then an irritated look upstairs.
“Too bad, brother… that’s all for tonight!” Lin Yu noted the cook’s reaction and calmly nodded.
“All right, see you tomorrow, brother!”
The cook ghost rose first and headed to the back door, followed closely by the accountant ghost and the others.
Just as Lin Yu was about to follow, he suddenly heard a seductive female voice by his ear, “Come to the third floor to see me.”
It was the innkeeper’s voice from before, but her tone was much softer now!
Startled, he realized that no one else had heard it!
“She’s speaking only to me!”
Lin Yu couldn’t help but wonder…
What could she want in private?
Could it be that she saw his youth, wealth, and strength… and wanted to spend a romantic evening with me?
