As long as you have the courage, fierce ghosts go on maternity leave.

Chapter 28: Neighbourhood visits

Alexander felt a sudden chill in his heart. He tried to dodge, but this drowned ghost was more terrifying than Su Rong, reaching the level of a malicious ghost. It wasn't something he could avoid!

Well, being able to live twice, it's worth it. He just wondered what would happen to Su Rong.

With a sigh, Alexander closed his eyes and gave up resisting.

However, the dreadful attack he imagined didn't occur. Instead, his entire body was tightly hugged by two sturdy arms, and the excited voice of the drowned ghost rang in his ears:

"Brother, my good brother, I've been waiting for your return!"

Alexander was dumbfounded!

Blinking in confusion, he opened his eyes and looked around. He realized that the room was not only occupied by the drowned ghost and Su Rong, but filled with all sorts of... people? No, it was filled with all sorts of ghosts.

There was a man with a full face of beard. His skin looked like a garment, with many places torn open, exposing raw flesh and blood. He was awkwardly covering a wound on his head with his hand.

Beside him was the ghost Alexander had seen upon entering the apartment, who now had its head reattached and was showing an apologetic and pleasing smile to Alexander.

Next to him, a skinny little boy, looking like a skeleton, showed a kind smile to Alexander, which was somehow chilling.

Moreover, there was a ghost doctor in a white coat holding a bloody scalpel, a mummy wrapped in bandages, a ghost burned to death with twisted scars and flames occasionally emerging, a cute red-dressed ghost in red shoes and socks, a blackened ghost entwined with high-voltage wires, causing sparks, occupying half of the room that no ghost dared to approach, and so on.

"What's going on? What are they here for? To cause trouble?"

Alexander pushed the drowned ghost away and looked at Su Rong with a puzzled face.

"I have no idea!" Su Rong was almost crying, grimacing and saying, "They said they came to pay a visit and bring gifts!"

A visit? Gifts?

Alexander was bewildered for a moment. Looking at these people, it seemed that some of them indeed had things in their hands.

Things like a bloody kitchen knife, a bloody long leg that was half eaten, a glass bottle full of eyeballs, a big iron hammer smeared with brain matter, and so on.

"Brother!" Just as Alexander was puzzled, the ghost wrapped in high-voltage electricity came over.

"Wait, just stay where you are if you have something to say!" Alexander quickly stopped him.

He didn't want to be electrocuted. Didn't he see that a bunch of malicious ghosts around him were avoiding him?

Although it looked very powerful, he didn't plan on becoming charcoal.

"Alright, alright, I won't go over there! We're neighbors! We should get along well as neighbors, so I brought you a small gift, it's a token of my respect!"

With that, the electrocuted ghost forcefully tore off a high-voltage wire wrapped around his body and threw it at Alexander.

Seeing no sparks on it and the drowned ghost next to him didn't dodge, he reached out to catch it and began to examine it.

High-Voltage Wire Full of Energy

Grade: Malicious Ghost Level

Translation: Introduction: This is a bundle of live high-voltage wire, which was wound around the Inevitable Road under the cover of night. It contains powerful electricity and can be used as a weapon.

"Goodness!

Offering a Malicious Ghost Level item right off the bat, quite generous!

A smile instantly appeared on Alexander's face. He started speaking,

"Well... Electricity Bro! You're already here, no need to bring gifts! We're neighbors after all, no need to be so formal! Think about it, what should the other neighbors do? Are they all supposed to offer Malicious Ghost Level items as gifts? It's not like I'm criticizing you, but this is not appropriate!"

Despite his words, Alexander swiftly stored the power cable in his storage space, which only had twenty slots left and was a feature of his Death Tattoo, meant for storing items from the horror world.

A Malicious Ghost Level item! Wouldn't this be worth a fortune in the outside world?

Of course, Alexander wouldn't sell it. Even if he couldn't use it for now, he could still give it to Su Rong as a weapon.

Su Rong's ruler used to cast spells was also a ghost item, but it was given by the vice-principal of the Blood Moon School, and had to be returned after the duplicate ended. The poor girl, burdened by her mortgage, didn't even own a weapon.

Having safely stored the power cable, Alexander turned his gaze towards the other people.

The meaning was clear: since you all have come to pay a visit, you can't possibly come empty-handed!

Old Electricity has already offered a ghoul-class ghost item, wouldn't you be embarrassed if you didn't bring anything?

As for the purpose of these ghost neighbors, even if Alexander's reaction was slow, he could guess. They were simply green with envy seeing Su Rong earning five thousand in one instance!

"Brother! You can rest assured, I may not be good at other things, but I am quite reasonable! Look what this is!"

The drowned ghost said, and from somewhere pulled out the chainsaw he had previously made at Alexander's place, saying:

"This thing was confiscated, but then I thought, we are neighbors after all, how can I take away your weapon! So, I spent a little money and redeemed it for you, and the other things, they are all here!"

Alexander received the chainsaw from the drowned ghost, along with a woven bag.

Sure enough, it contained the baseball bat he had used to pay off his debt, as well as incense candles, paper money, etc.

Worth nearly a thousand, and there were even a stack of ghost coins, at least over a thousand!

This can be considered a substantial investment, after all, the drowned ghost is just a collector, not the real creditor.

"Alright, drowned ghost, you're quite considerate, let's call it even, from now on we're good neighbors!"

Alexander said with a laugh, seeing him not pursuing the matter any further, and not being too moved, the drowned ghost was overjoyed.

Next, the decapitated ghost came over with a half-eaten woman's leg.

Why a woman's leg? Because there's still a high-heeled shoe hanging from it!

A chill ran down Alexander's spine, and he was about to refuse, but the next moment, seeing the properties of this item, he immediately shut his mouth.

Leftover beauty's leg

Level: Malicious Ghost Level

Attribute: Instance plug-in, hanging from the ceiling, fear +15

Trait: Bleeding effect, continuously dripping never-ending blood, extra increase in fear by 5 points.

Another Malicious Ghost Level item."

"Instance plug-ins are worth much less than other ghost items, as they can be directly purchased from the instance mall.

But this is only relatively speaking, plug-ins can increase the fear value in the instance, affecting the mental state of those selected, making them more susceptible to fear.

It is said that when the fear value reaches a thousand points, those selected below the evil spirit level entering it will be scared to death on the spot.

This leg is worth as much as two thousand in the mall!

Clearly, like the drowned ghost, it also spent a lot of money to reconcile with Alexander because it had scared him before.

"Sis, neighbors are better than distant relatives, why are you bringing such a valuable gift?"

Although Alexander said this, he quickly took the item and directly added the plug-in to the instance.

Next, the remaining neighbors greeted him and presented their gifts.

Most of them are some plug-ins, others gave other ghost items, or simply gave ghost coins.

Although not as valuable as the first three households, except for two or three that seemed really poor, the vast majority would be worth over a thousand in ghost coins when exchanged.

More than twenty people, at least ten thousand ghost coins worth of items, made both Alexander and Su Rong smile from ear to ear.

Of course, Alexander did not hide his intentions, and given that he understood these people's intentions, he gave them advice in return.

Seeing these neighbors leaving one by one, satisfied, Alexander was also very satisfied.

Don't forget, Alexander also has a skill certificate for socializing, allowing him to get rewards by brushing up good feelings!

This group brush, more than twenty neighbors, all had good feelings over 60 points without exception!

"Congratulations on reaching 60 points in good feelings, the special effect of the skill Unobstructed Charm Syndrome for Social Communication is triggered! You get the Electro Ghost's friendliness reward: Ghost Energy +15, Ghost Coins +200, Blood of Electro Ghost (Ominous), Paper Money +10!"

"Congratulations on reaching 60 points in good feelings, you get the Drowned Ghost's friendliness reward: Ghost Energy +10, Ghost Coins +200, Skull Bracelet (Ghoul), Paper Money +10!"

"Congratulations on reaching 60 points in good feelings, you get the Skin Peeling Ghost's friendliness reward: Ghost Energy +10, Ghost Coins +200, A Pair of Human Skin (Evil Spirit), Paper Money +10!"
