In the tent, Nathan Lin was fast asleep.
The weather wasn't too cold, and the blanket he used wasn't thick.
His storage space was still one cubic meter. But don't underestimate that one cubic meter, it could store a lot.
The items in the storage space weren't piled together but were each stored separately, with no crowding or pressure between them.
After several hours of sleep, Nathan Lin woke up.
Sleeping in the wild was never as comfortable as in the city.
When he woke up, he opened the tent and saw the first light of dawn.
"Coco?"
Then, Nathan Lin saw Coco sitting outside the tent, hugging her knees, with her little head resting on her knees. From the looks of it... she seemed to have been guarding outside the tent all night.
Before going to sleep, Nathan Lin had asked Coco to enter the bowtie and placed it beside his pillow, in case any ghosts appeared.
He didn't expect that Coco had come out in the middle of the night and had been keeping watch for so long!
Nathan Lin couldn't help but feel a bit touched!
Upon hearing Nathan Lin's voice, Coco turned her head and stared at him.
Even though her Ghost Spirit Intelligence had increased by one point, she still couldn't speak.
Nathan Lin patted her little head. "Thank you, Coco~"
When Nathan Lin patted her head, Coco did something new. Like before, she just stared at Nathan Lin without any reaction.
But now, she lowered her little head, making it easier for Nathan Lin to give her a head-pat.
These small changes made Nathan Lin feel hopeful.
Perhaps, as time went on, Coco would start talking one day!
After breakfast, Nathan Lin washed up by a nearby stream, then took out his communicator and connected to the satellite signal.
It was time to locate the next Dangerous-Grade ghost.
He scanned for a while, and this time, it only took him a little over five minutes to find a suitable task.
After accepting the task, Nathan Lin glanced at his information and noticed there were a lot of new messages.
The new messages in the beginner group were also abundant.
"Huh? A powerful ghost outside the city? A lot of Ghost Tamers are returning to the city? No wonder!"
After reading these messages, Nathan Lin understood why so many Dangerous-Grade ghosts hadn't been dealt with—no one was taking the task.
Moreover, he learned from the new beginner group that his villa had been getting a lot of attention lately.
"Let them watch if they want."
Nathan Lin muttered to himself.
"A powerful ghost? The outer city is so big; if I'm careful, I should be fine."
Nathan Lin thought.
Then he continued to read the messages.
That day, Nathan Lin discovered many of the messages were sent by one person in the beginner group.
He opened one.
"Brother Lin, the other day, three Ghost Tamers in their thirties or forties were asking about you. I felt something was off about their expressions and tone. When they went to observe your villa, their expressions were different from the other Ghost Tamers. They looked like they had something planned. Also, I noticed they left the city yesterday, which is weird. I heard some Ghost Tamers in the outer city like to rob or even kill other Ghost Tamers, so you should be careful."
The message sender wrote a long message like this.
The three Ghost Tamers never expected that the 15-year-old newbie they questioned—the "kid" in their eyes—actually had sharp observation skills.
He noticed their slight changes in expression.
"Someone wants to harm me?"
This message made Nathan Lin become more alert.
"Ghost Tamers in their thirties or forties... They should be level 3 or level 4, but there are three of them..."
Nathan Lin thought.
"They might not really want to harm me. Even if they do, the outer city is so vast, they might not even find me. Also, Coco is about to level up, and Ghost Tamers can't always rely on their Ghost Spirits to determine the outcome. As long as Coco holds them off for a moment, I can escape..."
Nathan Lin started to calculate.
If no one bothers me, I won't bother anyone. But if someone wants to harm me... I'll retaliate fiercely.
"Wait a minute."
Nathan Lin suddenly had a thought. He opened the task interface again on his communicator.
"The outer city is so big... and there's another powerful ghost. If they really want to harm me and have taken the risk to leave the city, they definitely won't be searching aimlessly. They must have a way to locate me... This method... I think it's here!"
Nathan Lin stared at the task interface, deep in thought.
...
Although the message from the newbie in the beginner group might not be true, it was better to be cautious.
The three Ghost Tamers had taken such a big risk leaving the city... If they really wanted to harm Nathan Lin, they must have a way of finding him.
They were in the dark, while Nathan Lin was in the light.
The methods they used seemed simple to Nathan Lin.
They couldn't possibly track him down directly, or they wouldn't need to be so sneaky.
But they had another method—watching the task interface!
After all, these days, all the Ghost Tamers had returned to the city, and no one was taking Dangerous-Grade ghost tasks.
Except... Nathan Lin!
The rules for the task interface were simple: once a task was taken, it would instantly disappear from the task list!
...
If Nathan Lin were those three guys, he would definitely have one person watching the communicator, constantly refreshing it. Once a task disappeared, they could use other communicators to see the general description of the task.
It was like when a web page was deleted by a developer, but your computer had already opened it before it was deleted. The content would still be stored on your computer as long as you didn't refresh it, but once refreshed, everything would disappear.
The three of them could also use multiple communicators to keep track of the disappearing tasks.
From the task descriptions, they could figure out the location of the task Nathan Lin had accepted!
Then they could quickly set up an ambush, wait for Nathan Lin, and catch him by surprise.
"Better move to another place."
No matter if it was true or not, Nathan Lin didn't plan to follow their rhythm until Coco reached Horror-Grade.
So, Nathan Lin quickly found another Dangerous-Grade ghost elimination task and headed toward it.
However, Nathan Lin didn't accept the task right away.
Instead, he went directly!
In the past, this wouldn't have worked because Dangerous-Grade ghost tasks were highly competitive. If Nathan Lin didn't accept it, someone else would.
Once someone else took the task, it would disappear, and Nathan Lin wouldn't be able to see the task description.
Now, though, with tasks everywhere, he could do it this way.
He would solve the Dangerous-Grade ghost first, and then accept the task. The previous task he had accepted would be left as bait.
...
"Boss, at Little Venerable Mountain."
Nathan Lin's caution wasn't misplaced.
Because...
At a grain town, the three Ghost Tamers who had been planning to deal with Nathan Lin had indeed used the method Nathan Lin had guessed to find the task he had accepted.
"Damn, we've been staring at the communicator all day, our eyes are sore, but we still found it."
"Little Venerable Mountain... it's not far from us. If we hurry, we can definitely reach him before he does."
"Hmph, this kid is so bold, coming out at this time. If he doesn't die, who will?"
After finding the location of the next task, the three Ghost Tamers were confident and quickly packed up to head toward the task Nathan Lin had accepted!
