New Home

At this moment, Zuo Lin'an could also clearly feel the effect of the white fog.

The outer ring of white fog was meant to block outsiders from entering, while the inner ring of white fog was specifically targeted at players, preventing them from seeing outside and stopping them from leaving the boundaries of the dungeon.

This was a rule of the supernatural world.

During the dungeon run, if a player walked into the white fog and attempted to leave the dungeon area, the dungeon boss had the authority to obliterate them instantly.

Zuo Lin'an observed this for a long time before reluctantly pulling back his gaze.

He had to admit, this God's-eye view was truly novel and convenient.

He could observe every corner of Zone Two in real-time. Once the dungeon officially opened, he would be able to sit comfortably at home and monitor its progress.

After all, he could easily just send his specter body to do the killing.

Instructor An had mentioned earlier that this martial arts world had martial artists who were extremely observant. If his acting was subpar, he might get exposed the moment they crossed paths.

In other words, his living body was not suited to appear in the dungeon at all.

Whether as an NPC or pretending to be a player.

Since he had only just become a dungeon boss, it was better to play it safe.

By now, his specter body had already opened the suitcase, unpacked all his belongings, and cleaned up the house.

Zuo Lin'an stood up and looked around.

The house was about five hundred square meters.

Upon entering, there was a massive, spacious living room, with the kitchen and dining area off to the side. Further inside was an enormous bedroom complete with a walk-in closet.

The bedding was fully provided. He reached out and felt the mattress; the texture was top-notch, and he could easily lie down and fall asleep right then and there.

On the other side was a study, which had several bookshelves, though they were currently empty.

A computer sat on the desk.

It was a brand he didn't recognize, but he could tell from the subtle details that this computer was definitely not cheap.

However, now was not the time for games.

He went to check the bathroom and found it was several times larger than his previous dormitory room. It was fully stocked with towels, toothbrushes, and toiletries like body wash and shampoo.

Naturally, all other appliances and furniture were also fully provided.

The refrigerator was even stocked with plenty of meat, seafood, vegetables, and fruits. The kitchen also had a highly comprehensive selection of seasonings, pots, pans, bowls, and utensils.

He walked back to the living room and glanced at the sofa. Without a doubt, the living room's sofa and coffee table were high-end items. Moreover, the coffee table and the nearby cabinets were filled with various snacks.

These were snacks he had only ever seen while browsing supermarkets or watching commercials—all of them exorbitantly expensive, luxury snacks and drinks.

There were even many he didn't recognize at all. The most familiar one was a beverage where a single three-hundred-and-fifty-milliliter bottle cost one hundred and eighty-eight yuan.

Yet, here, that bottle of drink was only fit to sit in the corner.

And that was just the snacks. He had never even seen or heard of most of the furniture and appliances, but he noticed the words “Special Supply” printed on some of them.

The computer he saw in the study earlier was probably a special supply model too, right?

Zuo Lin'an couldn't help but marvel.

“The perks of being a dungeon boss are truly incredible. However, this is probably a one-time welcome package. If I want more in the future, I'll have to buy them with my own money from the mall.”

Then again, while looking around earlier, he had also noticed several empty rooms. They were likely left vacant for the occupant to customize and renovate as they pleased.

But for now, the most important thing was...

Zuo Lin'an walked over to an inconspicuous corner, where he found a pitch-black, square battery.

He casually picked up the instruction manual on top of it, which contained only a single line of text:

【Specialized battery. Input specter aura to charge.】

Zuo Lin'an blinked, finding it somewhat bizarre. But considering this was the supernatural world, it seemed to make sense.

He looked at the battery. Upon closer inspection, it didn't seem to look any different from a regular battery.

Then, he looked at the electronic screen attached to the outside of the battery.

The maximum capacity was five hundred kilowatt-hours, and there were currently one hundred and three kilowatt-hours left.

He had already taken a tour of the house earlier.

There weren't actually many appliances here—just the lights, a refrigerator, an air conditioner, a computer, and a few household gadgets. There wasn't much else.

Even one hundred kilowatt-hours would be enough to last for a while.

Furthermore, after becoming a Human-Specter Symbiont, he could survive without eating or sleeping. Although he still maintained a normal human schedule, it was merely because he wasn't familiar with his new state, or rather, he wasn't used to it yet.

As a result, he still needed to eat and sleep like an ordinary person for now.

Once he grew accustomed to it, these things might no longer be necessary.

After all, as long as his specter body existed, his living body would not age or die, forever frozen at its peak state.

Zuo Lin'an casually set down the manual. After a brief thought, he decided to give it a try. He funneled his specter aura into the battery; keeping it up for about ten seconds increased the charge by one kilowatt-hour.

In other words, it would only take a little over six minutes to fully charge it.

“That's actually pretty fast.”

Leaving his specter body to charge the battery, Zuo Lin'an returned to the living room. Leaning back on the sofa, he pulled out his phone again and began checking the information inside.

Now that he had his own dungeon territory, many features in the app had been unlocked.

First was the homepage.

The previously grayed-out application button at the very bottom had lit up, with a line of text next to it:

【Dungeon opens every Monday at midnight. Applications can be submitted in advance.】

Zuo Lin'an looked further down but decided against clicking the application button immediately.

Instead, he opened the mall.

The top two items instantly caught his eye.

“What is this?!”

The first item was an irregularly shaped, blood-red stone.

【Rule Sublimation Stone: Upon use, allows the user to designate any single rule of a specter and perform a minor sublimation on it.】

His heart leaped with excitement, but when he saw the price, he immediately felt it was far too “beautiful” for him to afford.

【Price: 100 Contribution】

Zuo Lin'an massaged his temples. For him right now, that would require wiping out entire player groups a hundred times.

The second item was an application form.

【Sin Hunter City Entry Application: Exclusive item for Human-Specter Symbiont bosses. Upon purchase, grants one opportunity to enter Sin Hunter City to establish new rules! Specter bodies are not permitted to enter the city. Purchase with caution.】

【Price: 100 Contribution】

Zuo Lin'an blinked with longing.

Both of these were excellent items. Whether it was sublimating his own rules or adding new ones, he wanted them so badly...

But for now, he could only look on with envy.

Forget it, he might as well check out the other items first.

He scrolled down the page and discovered that Contribution points could be exchanged for cash.

1 Contribution point for 1,000,000.

That much?!

Zuo Lin'an was astonished, but he quickly realized it made sense.

To him, earning 1 Contribution point required wiping out an entire team of players.

The difficulty was indeed quite high.

Moreover, in his view, a normal dungeon boss would at most exchange one or two points when they were short on cash. The rest of their Contribution points would definitely be saved for when they were absolutely necessary.
