All four new players were teleported to the mission world.
Este's vision blurred,
When it cleared again,
She was surrounded by low-rise buildings, houses with grey bricks and four-cornered eaves, wide, flat streets, and merchant banners fluttering overhead.
A gust of wind blew,
The banners flapped wildly, but the streets were empty, and the shops were tightly shut.
She could even see that some houses had thick iron plates securely nailed over their tightly closed doors and windows.
They looked like airtight iron rooms.
A block of black game text appeared before her.
[Entered [qing country ghost story], language module loaded, beginning mission search...]
World Tier: Tier 2
Scenario Description (Music Zombie): In the Jiangnan region, corpse-herding is prevalent. Ren Laotaiye, a deceased zombie, was stolen by a Western pharmacist. After dissection and injection, he mutated into a ferocious evil corpse far exceeding ordinary walking corpses.
Main Mission: Kill Ren Laotaiye (Demon Corpse)
Mission Reward: 40,000 reward points, 2,000 contribution points.
"Zombies?"
Este's stood in the middle of the street, scanning the empty town.
She hadn't heard of them.
Although the Teigu World had supernatural powers, humans themselves couldn't master them; instead, these powers were concentrated in monsters called Danger Beasts.
Ultimately, they were essentially creatures with formidable flesh and blood.
Humans would gather armies to fight Danger Beasts, then strip their flesh, bones, and blood, using the supernatural energy contained within to create various artifacts.
Therefore,
In Este's view, zombies should just be another type of Danger Beast.
For instance, the Empire's assassin group reportedly had assassins capable of controlling the Teigu [March of the Dead: Yatsufusa].
This Teigu could control corpses, turning them into puppet-like combatants.
"Zombies, are they similar to corpses controlled by the March of the Dead?"
"After humans die, they can become active corpses, how interesting... If that's the case, wouldn't I be able to brutalize them again?"
Este's showed no fear whatsoever.
Her mind circuit only contained a fervent battle consciousness; hearing that frail humans could become stronger zombies after death.
For her, it meant an even more exhilarating battle.
Este's, who chose not to team up,
Was teleported separately from the Anya Squad for a solo trial.
Whoosh...
The banners swayed violently as the wind gradually grew stronger.
It was already evening, and a very low-hanging dark cloud slowly drifted over, covering the entire town.
The light dimmed,
Like a premonition of some environmental shift.
Inside the houses along both sides of the street, scratching sounds began to emerge, accompanied by faint growls.
Evidently,
The iron plates blocking the doors and windows had not protected the houses.
"Has the entire town become a gathering place for corpses?"
Este's lips curved into a smile, watching the figures emerge from the houses, hopping and lurching.
Palls of dark corpse qi followed the appearing zombies, covering the entire town.
The air was thick with death.
[Demon Corpse Lv.21]: A corpse infected by the special contaminated entity [Music Zombie King], possessing weak magical resistance.
"The hunt begins!"
Even a corpse herder, accustomed to seeing corpses, would tremble in fear at this sight.
Yet Este's was like a fully armed hunter.
A layer of frost appeared beneath her feet; she stomped down hard, using the recoil to lunge forward.
Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
...
Inside the Game House,
Fang Yi, who was observing the new players, twitched his mouth, looking at the tall, queen-like beauty who charged in like a rookie, feeling quite speechless.
"Although Este's possesses extremely formidable combat abilities in the Teigu World, the supernatural energy contained within Danger Beasts, judging by their tier, isn't even stronger than Chakra."
"These monsters, turned into Demon Corpses after being bitten by Music Zombies, are all genuine Tier 2 creatures."
Qing Country Ghost Story, even within Tier 2 worlds, is considered a very high-tier energy level.
Music Zombie,
Seemingly an ordinary zombie, a product of being injected with a potion, is actually the masterpiece of an entire contaminated world.
Just like Muzan Kibutsuji in the Demon Slayer World, who drank the medicine and nearly evolved into a perfect life form.
He must quickly purify the contaminated dragon pulse and take control of the [qing country ghost story] world.
Otherwise, there will be more and more mutated contaminants like the Music Zombie.
"As expected..."
Fang Yi rubbed his temples.
Fighting an entire town of zombies alone, logically, with Este's strength, as long as she was careful, there was still a chance of winning.
At the very least, she could eliminate hundreds of Demon Corpses.
But now,
Este's was clutching the wound scratched open by a Demon Corpse, her brows tightly furrowed, hiding on the flat roof of a building.
[You have been scratched by a Demon Corpse, new status [Demon Corpse Poison] added. Losing 50 HP per second, lasts for 30 minutes.]
The toxicity spread by the Music Zombie is far stronger than that of ordinary Lord Monsters of the same tier.
Este's Teigu provided her with powerful ice abilities,
But her physique attribute was only [35] points.
It wasn't low,
Roughly on par with Kage-level experts in the Ninja World, but still at the level of ordinary life forms, unable to resist the Demon Corpse Poison from the Music Zombie.
At this rate, her HP would be depleted in a few minutes.
Fortunately,
Fang Yi had already considered that different world power systems could easily lead to accidental casualties.
So he added a beginner's guide.
Following the game's guidance,
Este's opened the [qing country ghost story] Store and found [Glutinous Rice (Taoist Consecration)], which could remove the Demon Corpse Poison.
She used it to remove the Demon Corpse Poison.
"This is truly troublesome, like an infectious disease?"
Este's recalled a certain Teigu.
It was said to have originally been bestowed upon an outstanding assassin in the Imperial assassin organization, but that person defected with the Teigu [One-Cut Killer: Murasame].
Not being able to be scratched by a Demon Corpse, it should feel the same as fighting Murasame?
Like a dance of blades.
Este's was not discouraged; instead, she became even more excited and thrilled.
A thin layer of frost appeared on the rooftop platform.
An ice-crystal-like armor covered Este's alluring figure entirely, leaving only her movable joints exposed.
Paired with her ice-blue long hair and eyelashes, and her cold, charming face,
She looked like an empress born of ice and snow.
Watching Este's once again engage in battle with the Demon Corpses,
Fang Yi nodded with satisfaction, opening the Store's exchange history and seeing that she had actually directly exchanged the essence within [Demon's Extract: Demon's Manifestation] to quickly restore her combat power and remove the Demon Corpse Poison.
"Generally speaking, don't people usually try to exchange for combat skills, or these cheaper skills or items, to test things out?"
The White-haired Loli didn't understand.
For example, the Anya Squad, being stronger overall, was directly teleported to the advanced map of [Borderland Royal Family Zombie].
They encountered Taoist Priest Qianhe, who was escorting the Borderland Royal Family.
Using Anya's mind-reading ability, they quickly understood the information about the zombies and exchanged for items that countered zombies according to the game's guidance.
However,
Erza and Kikyo didn't fully trust the Reincarnation Game, so they only exchanged for one piece of armor and two demon-slaying arrows.
They would only be willing to exchange their core abilities once they confirmed the authenticity of the Reincarnation Game.
"That's a battle maniac."
Fang Yi was very pleased, looking at Este's with an appreciative gaze.
If most players were as simple-minded and eager for battle as her, the entire player team would be much easier to manage.
Should he implement some measures to further motivate the players?
Thinking of this,
Fang Yi asked, "Afu, stop just eating all day. How's the progress on the [Origin Creature] I asked you to create?"
"We're still missing two Tier 2 Lord Monsters. Once we gather the materials, we'll be able to create a [Zombie] pet."
