Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2175: Ghost Child Gang’s Investigation

Before long, the Space scanned the entire hall and discovered a few new faces. All of them just appeared that day.

Although Zhao Hai was suspicious of these people, he didn’t do anything. He stood in front of the mission board, seemingly not paying attention to the situation around him.

Zhao Hai chose his mission and then went to the counter and said, “I’ll take mission 713.”

The person opposite the counter looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, “It’s you. How many missions are you planning to take? There’s no need to do so many. You should allocate time for cultivation.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Although cultivation is important, what I need right now is combat experience. I’m planning to take a couple of missions today.”

The staff member laughed and then handed the mission to Zhao Hai. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, “You can put your name on the token. As long as you’ve done over a hundred missions, you can write your name on the mission token. This way, you might get noticed by the Ghost Child Gang. Do you want to write your name?”

Zhao Hai stared, then he smiled faintly and said, “Good. Write it down. My name is Zhao  Ling.” 

As soon as he heard this, the staff member smiled, “Zhao Ling, that’s a good name. But it sounds like a girl’s name.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I changed to this name later on to remember someone. In any case, I came here to restart my life. Is my name fine?”

As soon as the staff member heard Zhao Hai, he couldn’t help but reveal an understanding look. He nodded and said, “Good, I’ll write it down.” After that, he wrote ‘Zhao Ling’ into the token.

Zhao Hai received his mission token with a smile. Then he turned around to leave the Mission Hall. Although his actions didn’t seem different, he was paying attention to every action made by the people he marked.

Zhao Hai quickly discovered that immediately after he left the Mission Hall, several cultivators left and followed him from a distance. If his instinct wasn’t triggered, he wouldn’t have noticed. It was clear that these people were masters of stalking.

Zhao Hai didn’t mind these people. This was because he discovered that people in the shops were pointing in Zhao Hai’s direction when asked. This could only mean that these people were powerful people in the city. And who were the most powerful people in the city? There was no need to ask, it was naturally the Ghost Child Gang. In other words, the people following him were from the Ghost Child Gang.

If other people tracked him, Zhao Hai might be worried. However, it was the Ghost Child Gang. Zhao Hai’s performance has brought the attention of the gang. Even the staff member asked for his name. Instead of being worried, Zhao Hai was happy.

Before long, Zhao Hai arrived outside the city. He immediately released his undead horse and then rushed towards his mission.

The people from the Ghost Child Gang who were tailing Zhao Hai were dumbfounded when they saw Zhao Hai release his undead horse. Although the underground world was filled with ghosts and undead, the majority of cultivators use ghosts or undead as battle resources. Nobody would use undead horses for travel.

Zhao Hai using an undead horse for travel was completely unnatural. At this time, a thin ghost cultivator said, “I’ll go catch up to him, someone go back and report.”

Although Zhao Hai was hurrying along, he was also paying attention to the people tailing him. He saw one ghost cultivator remaining while the others went back. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile faintly.

Zhao Hai’s mission wasn’t far from Ghost Child City. His mission this time was to hunt down and kill beasts. In recent days, beasts have been ravaging villages around Ghost Child City.

Although the Ghost Cultivators don’t treat the Red Goblins as proper humanoids and could kill them whenever they want to, the Red Goblins were still useful. Ghost Cultivators can kill Red Goblins, but that doesn’t mean that the Ghost Cultivators would allow beasts to kill them. Therefore,  missions were issued to address this issue.

The beast that was causing trouble this time had the strength similar to a Soul Fusion Cultivator. Before long, Zhao Hai arrived at the beast’s region of activity. He jumped down from his undead horse and examined the surroundings. Soon after, Zhao Hai found footprints. The footprints weren’t deep, but they were made on relatively hard ground. From this, one could see the strength of the beast.

Zhao Hai looked at the beast’s footprints and his expression turned serious. He turned his head and then summoned his undead horse before charging towards the southeast.

The person from the Ghost Child Gang also looked at the footprints after Zhao Hai left. Upon failing to see anything, he could only follow Zhao Hai.

Not long after, a roar of a beast was heard. The person from the Ghost Child Gang couldn’t help but be shocked. He immediately sped up. He followed Zhao Hai all the way and didn’t see him stop at all. Zhao Hai only looked at the footprints and immediately knew where the beast was. His tracking was too godly!

Before long, the Ghost Child Gang cultivator was a person and a beast fighting. Naturally, the person was Zhao Hai while his opponent was a tiger-type beast.

The tiger beast’s eyes were blood red. It was a meter and a half tall with a 4 meter long body. There was also a black horn growing on its head.

Seeing the beast, the Ghost Child Gang cultivator couldn’t help but stare. Then his complexion changed. He recognized the beast. In the underground world, it was known as a Single-Horned Tiger. It was a powerful beast that was famous for their sharp horn that could release thunder attacks. A lightning element beast was very rare in the underground world.

Moreover, the beast had a special ability. Its eyes would redden every time it ate a person. The more people it ate, the redder its eyes would become. The Single-Horned Tiger that Zhao Hai was fighting against had eyes that turned completely blood red. This showed how many people it ate.

Man-eating beasts were special in which they gained experience the more people they fought. Such beasts were very difficult to deal with. Most importantly, the beast Zhao Hai was fighting was at the Soul Fusion Stage. A demon beast at the Soul Fusion Stage could contend against a cultivator at the Earth Monarch Stage. It was clear that Zhao Hai was just in the Soul Fusion Stage. It was impossible for him to fight against the Single-Horned Tiger.

The person from the Ghost Child Gang wasn’t worried about Zhao Hai’s well-being. After all, Zhao Hai has yet to join the Ghost Child Gang. What the Ghost Child Gang cultivator was worried about was what would happen if Zhao Hai couldn’t stop the tiger. If the tiger wasn’t dealt with, it might target him instead.

While the Ghost Child Gang cultivator was thinking about lending Zhao Hai a hand, he suddenly heard Zhao Hai shout, “Heavenly Demon Claw!” As he said that, Zhao Hai’s hand hardened as it clawed towards the Single-Horned Tiger.

The Single-Horned Tiger seemed to be threatened by Zhao Hai’s claws. It roared loudly as it launched a lightning attack towards Zhao Hai. The attack was very fast, leaving Zhao Hai with no chance to dodge.

Boom! Zhao Hai’s claws and the lightning attack connected. The two energies immediately canceled each other out. The Single-Horned Tiger roared in pain. Then it kept spinning on the ground before falling down.

Zhao Hai let out a long sigh, then he cursed, “I didn’t expect to meet a Single-Horned Tiger. I almost died. Fortunately, this tiger will fetch a huge sum.” As he spoke, Zhao Hai took out a thin sword from the eye of the Single-Horned Tiger and put it away. Then he sent the Single-Horned Tiger to the Space. After summoning his undead horse, he immediately rushed back to Ghost Child City.

The Ghost Child Gang cultivator couldn’t help but stare blankly at Zhao Hai’s disappearing figure. He was completely speechless. The man eating Single-Horned Tiger with blood red eyes was dealt with only with a couple of moves. Wasn’t this too quick? Was that kid too strong? 

In the Ghost Child Gang cultivator’s mind, he was panicking. The gang needs to recruit Zhao Hai as soon as possible. If they let a genius like Zhao Hai run off, the ancestors of the Ghost Child Gang would beat them in their sleep.

Thinking of this, the person immediately moved and hurried back to Ghost Child City. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai was also observing this person. Although the person was hidden very well, it was impossible for him to escape Zhao Hai’s Space. Zhao Hai deliberately showed strength when he killed the Single-Horned Tiger. He believed that once the Ghost Child Gang saw his strength, the gang would immediately make a move.

At the same time, Zhao Hai found that he couldn’t underestimate the underground world. Take the ghost cultivator from the Ghost Child Gang for example. Zhao Hai’s undead horse wasn’t slow, yet the ghost cultivator was able to keep up. He was even faster than the horse. While Zhao Hai was still 5 kilometers away from Ghost Child City, the ghost cultivator had already returned.

Zhao Hai wasn’t worried about this. When he was a kilometer away from the city, he jumped down from the horse and walked the rest of the way.

Before long, Zhao Hai arrived at the Mission Hall and handed the mission over. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hai received a piece of armor as a reward. In the True Spirit Realm, armor-type artifacts were rare. The armor awarded to him by the Ghost Child Gang was naturally a good thing. Zhao Hai just didn’t expect the gang to be willing to part with such a good item.

However, after thinking about it, Zhao Hai calmed down. The skin of the Single-Horned Tiger, even without anything else, can make a few armors. To the Ghost Child Gang, giving a piece of armor as a reward wasn’t a loss.

After receiving the armor, Zhao Hai immediately put it on his body. Then he went to the mission board and looked for another mission. This time, when Zhao Hai was out to do his mission, he found out that the number of people following him had increased from one to five. They also came prepared and brought flying beasts so they could monitor Zhao Hai from above. No matter where Zhao Hai goes for his mission, he wouldn’t be able to hide from their eyes.

Zhao Hai didn’t mind it. In any case, he was doing a mission on behalf of the gang. He wasn’t doing anything suspicious.

By the end of the day, Zhao Hai was able to finish four missions. Each mission wasn’t easy at all. After completing the missions, Zhao Hai returned to his courtyard. There were also people from the Ghost Child Gang eyeing the courtyard.

While Zhao Hai returned to his courtyard, Zhong Busan looked at the people inside his office and said, “You all saw this Zhao Hai Ling complete four missions. Moreover, each mission isn’t easy. And you are certain that he did the missions on his own?”

The thin cultivator replied, “Gang Master, I personally followed Zhao Ling. I saw him complete his first mission with my own eyes. Nobody helped him. Although he’s only at the Soul Fusion Stage, he has a special claw technique that could produce a huge burst of strength. When he used his claw technique, he might be able to contend against Earth Monarchs. And with how sharp the claws are, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to stop it at all. This must be the reason why he could complete tasks successfully.”

Zhong Busan’s eyes turned bright, he looked at the thin cultivator and smiled faintly, “ Good. Shadow, you did well. You said his claw technique could enhance his strength, if that is the case, do you think he can give it to the gang?”

Shadow shook his head and said, “Gang Leader, the claw technique might improve one’s combat strength, but it does so by overdrawing the user’s spiritual qi. With Zhao Ling’s current strength, it’s useless to use it three to four times a day. Even before he used it for the fourth time, he took a pill. It can be said that this technique is no different from other techniques that could hurt the soul. Zhao Ling’s true power is his flying sword, it’s a mysterious thin sword.”

Zhong Busan couldn’t help but stare when he heard this. Then he waved his hand in disappointment and said, “So that’s the case. Then do you think it’s worth it for us to take Zhao Ling into the gang?”

Shadow replied, “I think we should take him in. If found that although Zhao Ling is only at the Soul Fusion Stage, he shows a lot of experience when fighting the enemy. I’m sure that he has fought a lot. Zhao Ling is definitely a genius. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached his current ability.”

Zhong Busan nodded, “I see. If that is the case, then let’s recruit him. I believe that he will be a huge help to the Ghost Child Gang. If he displays enough talent, we can recommend him to the Battle Corpse Sect.”
