Chapter 267: Ordinary Contract is Enough

Over the past few days, Feng Jiu had grown quite reliant on Si Yan.

Seeing that she might not be able to repay Si Yan, she proactively suggested signing a contract.

However, her words did not trigger a universal contract.

It was likely that the conditions had not yet been met.

But a normal contract was already sufficient.

First, sign a normal contract; as long as she could be summoned, that was enough.

Moreover, since she was the one who initiated it, there would be no cost for this summoning.

Once the conditions were further met, they could then sign a universal contract.

So, Si Yan took out a normal contract, which was a reward from a previous mission, and prepared to sign it with her.

But after taking it out, Si Yan discovered that this contract wouldn’t work; its level was too low.

This contract could only be signed up to the Ghost King Level.

“I have one here, one I prepared earlier, it only became effective yesterday, it should work.”

At this moment, Feng Jiu took out a contract.

It seemed that Gui Creatures’ self-made contracts became effective in the same way as invitation letters or tokens: they made it first, and it became effective once mysterious patterns appeared on it.

Thus, Si Yan successfully signed a contract with Feng Jiu.

Although it was a normal contract, it added another Ghost Emperor Level combatant to Si Yan’s arsenal!

“Si Yan, here, this is the Demon Wolf Bloodline~”

Feng Jiu gave Si Yan two drops of blood sealed in tree wax.

Si Yan took them.

【Ding dong! Congratulations on obtaining the Demon Wolf Bloodline, you have obtained the Demon Fox Bloodline.】

This time, it was the Horror Space that chimed.

“The Demon Fox Bloodline was collected by Xiao Yu before; you can have both Bloodlines.”

Feng Jiu said.

Two Bloodlines!

Demon Bloodlines were also divided into different types.

Demon Wolf and Demon Fox were different Bloodlines, bringing different abilities.

Different demons possessed different abilities.

Si Yan put away the two drops of tree wax.

These Demon Bloodlines were somewhat different from the Vampire Bloodline.

After fusing with the Vampire Bloodline, one would become a Vampire.

But after fusing with a Demon Bloodline, one would not completely transform into a demon, but rather become something akin to a “half-demon.”

Half-human, half-demon.

The body would gradually be transformed, acquiring the corresponding demon’s abilities, and even some characteristics.

But one would not completely become like a demon.

Si Yan put away both of these Demon Bloodlines.

The initial Bloodline concentration of these two Demon Bloodlines would not be too high.

However, judging by the effect of equipping the Vampire Bloodline to the Mystic Warrior profession, after the Mystic Warrior profession completes its advancement, Si Yan can also spend Career Charm Points to upgrade the Demon Bloodline’s concentration or level.

“Si Yan, here are their claws, they might be useful to you.”

Xiao Yu handed Si Yan a few more claws.

These were the claws of two Great Demon-level Demon Wolves.

Naturally, not all their claws, but their longest ones.

The claws of Great Demons were extremely sharp.

Much sharper than many weapons.

The zombie short sword Ying Rui gave Si Yan was far less sharp than a Great Demon’s claws!

In the Player Forum’s trading zone, if such claws were put up for sale, who knows how many players would scramble for them.

The zombie short sword Ying Rui gave Si Yan had almost no threat to a Ghost Emperor.

That is, it couldn’t break through the defense of a Ghost Emperor Level zombie.

But Si Yan could break through it using these two Great Demon-level Demon Wolf claws.

They posed a significant threat even to high-level Ghost Emperors.

Used well, they could also achieve certain effects.

In short, these Demon Wolf claws were extremely valuable.

Each Demon Wolf claw was over ten centimeters long, so they could also be used as weapons.

They were also very good items.

Si Yan put away the Demon Wolf claws.

As his strength continuously increased, and his trump cards grew, the Gui Creatures he encountered also became stronger.

Some of the weapons he had were already not very useful.

These Demon Wolf claws were quite good.

“Here’s also a blood coagulation pill. Their two bodies can be used to make quite a few blood coagulation pills. But making them takes some time, Si Yan, I’ll give you some more next time you come.”

Xiao Yu took out another blood coagulation pill and handed it to Si Yan.

“Okay.”

Si Yan took the blood coagulation pill.

This blood coagulation pill was larger.

It should bring better effects.

But this item couldn’t be eaten continuously, so Si Yan would wait a while before eating it.

And the difficulty of making it seemed considerable.

Si Yan was preparing to leave.

The wedding of the Ying Song Families had already begun, and the Song Family’s wedding procession had already departed from the Ying Family.

According to the information Ying Rui revealed to Si Yan via the contract, the Song Family’s trip was pretty much as Si Yan had guessed.

The Song Family dispatched a Ghost Lord to greet them.

The Ying Family also seemed to have dispatched a Ghost Lord to escort them.

That is to say.

On the surface, there were at least two Ghost Lords in this wedding procession!

There could also be more.

The death of Third Young Master Song had put the Song Family on alert.

The Song Family had some suspects, but none were particularly certain.

The Song Family might also believe that other Zombie Families wanted to disrupt the marriage alliance between the Ying Song Families.

Therefore, the Song Family might have secretly dispatched more powerhouses to escort them.

Even the Ancestor of the Song Family had a certain possibility of watching in secret.

The wedding processions of both families were already nearing the Ying River.

It was time to act.

“Feng Jiu, I’m leaving.”

Si Yan bid farewell to Feng Jiu and Xiao Yu.

Feng Jiu said, “Si Yan, once I reclaim my Demon Cave, I will send you an invitation letter.”

Si Yan said, “Okay, don’t worry too much about the Death Spirits. They are still just sneaking around and dare not act openly, which means their infiltration is not particularly severe yet. Just be careful, and if anything happens, remember to tell me.”

“Okay, Si Yan!”

Feng Jiu said.

Although she was a Ghost Emperor Level now, in front of Si Yan, she was like a little sister.

Si Yan’s words, unknowingly, had a calming effect on her.

After Si Yan spoke a few more words with Xiao Yu.

He chose to return.

Soon, Si Yan returned to the villa again.

Then, Si Yan glanced at the panel; the game’s settlement had already begun.

【Ding! Successfully cleared the Horror instance: Vampire Celebration! Game settlement is in progress!】

【Game duration: 9 days!】

【Items obtained: blood coagulation pill (used), blood coagulation pill, Demon Wolf Bloodline, Demon Fox Bloodline (original), Fox Demon Xiao Yu’s invitation letter, Demon Wolf claws】

【New character relationships: Feng Jiu’s contract (normal contract), Xiao Yu’s adoration!】

【Game evaluation: SSS!】

【Clearance reward: 1 Return Ticket, 10000 ghost coins, 1000 points, 1 Free Summon Ticket】

The harvest this time was not bad.

He also gained over 1000 points.

The points reward was one aspect.

The biggest gain this time was completing the upgrade of the Mystic Warrior profession.

Raising the Mystic Warrior profession’s level to “Veteran” and starting the advancement mission.

For Si Yan, this was also of great significance.

This greatly boosted Si Yan’s own strength.

In addition, there was Feng Jiu’s contract, as well as two Demon Bloodlines, and the blood coagulation pills given by Xiao Yu.

All of these could further enhance Si Yan’s strength.

In short, the harvest from this mission was good.

After reviewing the harvest, Si Yan was not in a hurry to use the points.

He still had many unused points.

These points could increase Si Yan’s attributes by about twenty points.

No wonder, now it took too many points for Si Yan to increase 1 point of physical attribute.

“Let’s break two hundred first.”

Si Yan pondered for a moment, spending over a thousand points to push his physique past two hundred.

After his physique broke two hundred, Si Yan temporarily stopped using points.

Then Si Yan opened the chat function.

“Si-ge, the Song Family sent out invitation letters the day before yesterday.”

“Yes, Si-ge, I also saw it the day before yesterday; it seems quite a few of the Song Family’s invitations were transferred.”

A chat box popped up.

This was a group chat Si Yan had created.

It included several players Si Yan had hired.

Si Yan spent most of his time in the game each month, and might miss some information.

So Si Yan specifically found a few new players and asked them to keep an eye out for information for him.

He paid these new players some ghost coins as compensation each month.

He also provided these new players with one opportunity for a reinforcement ticket each year.

These new players were overjoyed to hear that they could request Si Yan’s help, even if it was only once a year.

There were a total of 6 players in this group, both male and female.

They had discussed times among themselves to ensure that when some entered the Horror Space, others would still be outside monitoring the Player Forum.

To ensure their reliability, Si Yan used his Ghoul Detective skill to investigate; these players were essentially his fans, and none of them had any issues.

Si Yan had asked them to keep an eye out for any invitation letters from the Ying Song Families recently, before he entered the Demon Cave instance.

“The Song Family actually sent out invitation letters?”

Si Yan murmured.

He thought the Song Family wouldn’t send out invitation letters to avoid complications and ensure the wedding proceeded as scheduled.

Yet, he never expected the Song Family to actually send out invitation letters!

“How many invitation letters did the Song Family send?”

Si Yan asked.

“Quite a few, at least 20.”

A new player said.

“So, the Song Family is absolutely confident in their own strength?”

Si Yan thought.

There was a certain possibility.

The Song Family had made some connections, linking the death of Third Young Master Song to the wedding.

They deliberately sent out invitation letters to give Si Yan a chance to cause trouble.

However, the Song Family would never have imagined that Si Yan, from the very beginning, had no intention of going to the Song Family via an invitation letter.

“It should be about time, let’s begin then.”

Si Yan felt the Death Spirit Monarch’s curse on his body and made a decision.

He hadn’t done much to dispel the Death Spirit Monarch’s curse these past few days.

The Death Spirit Monarch’s curse was nearing the point where the Death Spirit Monarch could sense Si Yan’s location across worlds and come for him.

He had already calculated the time.

Since that was the case, it could begin.

Having made his decision, Si Yan went directly to Liu Yiyi through the contract.

“Sir.”

Liu Yiyi saw Si Yan and stood up.

“Sir, the Song Family’s wedding procession has already reached the Ying River, but the Song Family’s guards are also very strict, and Yiyi’s people can’t infiltrate.”

Liu Yiyi said.

“It’s fine, we’ll wait a little longer.”

Si Yan told Liu Yiyi.

“Yes, Sir.”

Liu Yiyi said.

She went to the window and began to observe.

This alluring noblewoman exuded temptation at all times.

However, current matters were more important, and Si Yan suppressed a certain urge in his body.

He was waiting for the curse to further intensify.
