"Hey, isn't that Lin Feng?"
"Yeah, that's definitely him."
"I haven't seen Lin Feng around lately. He must have gone out to complete some time-sensitive tasks in the outer areas!"
"Of course, he can deal with dangerous-level ghosts. He's definitely not like us, stuck cleaning up those daily and ordinary ghosts."
On Lin Feng's way back to the villa, he noticed a group of students from his batch gathered in a small square of the Ghost Tamer residential area. They were discussing the recent time-limited tasks they had completed.
Three days had passed, and all the students had finished their tasks. As soon as they saw Lin Feng, they immediately recognized him. After all, Lin Feng had quickly become a legend among the students after securing a villa on his first try.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin!"
At that moment, the chubby guy from Lin Feng's old class rushed up to him. Lin Feng stopped and looked at him.
The chubby guy rubbed his hands together and said with a big grin, "Brother Lin, so here's the thing. They created a newbie group for everyone to exchange experiences and share information. You're so amazing, everyone wants you to join the group and guide us."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and replied, "Sure."
Joining a group wasn't a big deal. The communication signals within Willow City's base were stable, but once you left the city, things got tricky. Some areas, like the food production towns, had signal towers, but the majority of the outer zones didn't have any signal at all. For communication outside the base, you had to rely on satellites, which were very expensive, costing 1 contribution point for every 10 minutes of communication—roughly 100 yuan.
Most Ghost Tamers only used satellite signals in emergencies, as there were very few working satellites left. Some larger base cities were attempting to launch new communication satellites, but they still faced significant technological and energy shortages, so it hadn't worked out yet.
"Lin Feng's here~"
"We finally got this big shot in the group!"
"Welcome, Brother Lin~"
As soon as Lin Feng entered the group, the chat exploded with excitement. He posted an emoji and then decided to stop paying attention, letting the group go wild.
After returning to the villa, Lin Feng was greeted by a new visitor—a girl.
She was one of the three hundred students from this batch who had also managed to secure a villa, and she had earned a reputation as a genius girl among the students because her ghost spirit had already reached the ordinary level.
"You want to team up with me?" Lin Feng asked, looking at the girl.
She nodded. "Yes, different ghost spirits have different strengths. Some are good at combat, some at tracking, some at constructing ghost domains. Right now, you might not see the difference, but once you become a level 3 or 4 Ghost Tamer, and are regularly fighting stronger ghosts, you'll realize how important the synergy between ghost spirits is."
Lin Feng looked at her and gestured for her to continue.
The girl continued, "Many powerful Ghost Tamers are in teams, complementing each other's abilities. I know your ghost spirit is very strong, but mine was carefully selected by my father when I was younger, and it has great growth potential. I'm confident I can raise my ghost spirit to dangerous level within a month, so I won't be a burden to you."
"Your ghost spirit wasn't your choice?" Lin Feng asked, surprised.
The girl nodded. "Of course not. My father spent 5,000 contribution points to buy it for me. He bought two ghost spirit objects with good potential. I picked one when I was 100 days old. To make sure I'd pick one, he even made two identical ones for me to play with after my first month."
Lin Feng understood after hearing the girl's explanation.
This girl was essentially like a rich second-generation, and her father wasn't an ordinary person—he was a skilled Ghost Tamer with significant resources.
"Of course, there are always privileges," Lin Feng thought.
Ghost spirits weren't all the same. Some had high growth potential and a low risk of losing control, while others were more prone to losing control and had poor growth potential. But for ordinary people, it was all about luck.
This girl's ghost spirit was essentially pre-selected for her by her father. And he even used her baby instincts to ensure she'd choose it by making two identical ones for her. This gave her a huge head start compared to others. No wonder she managed to secure a villa on her own.
Of course, the real cheat wasn't her—it was Lin Feng, the owner of the system!
...
After the girl finished speaking, she stared at Lin Feng with eager eyes.
Lin Feng thought for a moment, then replied, "I prefer to work alone, and..." He paused for a moment. He was wondering if mentioning that he was already a level 3 Ghost Tamer would be too much. But if he didn't mention it, becoming a level 4 Ghost Tamer in the future would probably be even more shocking.
So, Lin Feng said, "Even if your ghost spirit reaches dangerous level, it wouldn't be enough for us to team up."
"Why? Hasn't your ghost spirit reached dangerous level yet?" The girl asked, confused.
Lin Feng nodded. "Yes, it has."
The girl's face suddenly turned pale with shock. "How did you reach it so quickly?"
