Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 212: Chapter 119: Pulled a Major Stunt in Front of the Entire Underworld

Now great, he’s become an undocumented ghost!

Forget about obtaining merit – he’s still stuck between the Underworld and the Human World, unable to move, and is well-known among new Ghost Messengers as a famous educational sight.

If Lu Wenwu manages to land a job, he’ll likely have to visit this place in the Land of Nothingness too.

Lu Wenwu was very familiar with the remaining single-choice and multiple-choice questions, and he finished them with a few swift moves.

Next up were the true or false questions.

[In recent years, there have been occasional cases of electric fraud in the Mortal World, which needs attention. As a member of the Underworld, please determine the likelihood of the following events occurring. Mark √ if possible, and × if impossible or wrong conduct.]

1. After drinking Meng Po Soup, on the road to reincarnation, an immortal-looking, handsome old Taoist priest offers to perform a ritual to make you a person of high status in your next life, saying you won’t need to contribute anything and can first experience the effect. ()

Lu Wenwu thought for a moment and checked the box.

There are cultivators in the Mortal World, and true cultivation to immortality has been confirmed.

Generally speaking, those Great Celestial Masters from renowned sects were already positioned in the Celestial Court while in the Mortal World.

However, in traditional ascension conditions, merit is a significant criterion.

Therefore, it’s not excluded that a Land Immortal-level old monster would use the Underworld’s unknown methods to hack into the reincarnation road to quickly gain merit for themselves.

2. While on a tour of Hell, you encounter a headless knight claiming to be an excellent locksmith and mechanician and also an emperor of a super-empire. He says that if you help him escape this ghostly place, he’ll tell you where the imperial treasure is buried so your descendants can enjoy wealth and glory through a dream. ()

This one’s too famous.

No-brainer, mark ×.

He has no royal treasure at all.

3. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival ends, you pass through the Ghost Sect, returning to the Underworld, but on the way, you encounter a drenched, oddly styled ghost who looks mentally unstable and keeps shouting strange things like “Brother Fu, v me 50,” “I am Emperor Qin Shi Huang, I’ll appoint you Grand General when the time comes,” and “Grandpa Niu, help Tutu, Tutu wants to play computer.” So you kindly take him back to your grave, intending to speak when he sobers up. ()

Well then!

Playing word games!

This must be marked with an ×.

During the Mortal Mid-Autumn Festival, some places maintain the custom of floating river lanterns to pray for blessings.

For mortals, it’s a beautiful ritual.

Whereas for ghosts, it’s the last carriage back to the Underworld after the Ghost Sect closes completely – missing it leaves them as wandering spirits.

Just let your ghost “lie” on the river lantern and float with the flow; when the lantern naturally extinguishes, the soul body will be taken to the Underworld automatically.

The tricky part is if a mortal with heavy Yin Qi incidentally falls into the river while unconscious and happens to press down on a river lantern that’s about to extinguish, their soul will also be brought to the Underworld.

In earlier years, some Yin World Travelers, lacking skill, used this method to hack their way down, then brought back items to sell.

So, this drunken ghost looks like a confused spirit high on offerings and alcohol.

Actually, it’s an unlucky living soul drunk or dazed!

The correct approach should be to immediately contact the nearest Ox Head and Ma Mian to take them to the City God Temple for special procedures and return them to the Human World through Soul Revival Cliff, lest they stay in Wangsi City.

Saving a life is more meritorious than building a Level 7 pagoda.

If you really run into this situation and help this unfortunate soul return to the Human World, it grants a huge amount of merit, enough to meet the minimum requirement for reincarnation as a human.

4. If your grave in the Human World is built on a notoriously unlucky site, entering the Underworld can significantly enhance your combat ability, allowing easy killing of creatures in Golden Rooster Mountain and Evil Dog Ridge. ()

…

In the examination hall, everything was silent.

Only the slight sound of clicking mice and tapping keyboards continuously echoed.

Countless examinee ghosts scratched their heads, and some even held their own heads in their hands and scratched their hair, but they couldn’t change what they didn’t know.

For them, the Underworld civil servant exam was extremely difficult.

Many questions not only played with words but also hid numerous traps, often combining violations of both human and ghost logic, which further increased the difficulty of the exam.

It was clear that the ghosts who made the paper either before they died came from the Celestial Department or were superiors in the Underworld Central Department.

The old Underworld ghosts simply couldn’t come up with such Underworld work.

Lu Wenwu did the questions quickly.

Besides being well-learned and having a strong memory, his unconventional thought patterns and somewhat unstable mental state immensely helped with this exam.

It allowed him better to understand the ideas of the Underworld ghosts, avoiding much of the living beings’ thoughts.

Soon, both the true or false and essay questions were completed, leaving only the last short-answer question, which gave countless examinees splitting headaches.

[Please read the following materials and briefly answer the relevant questions]

1. Zhang San and Li Si had a bad relationship since childhood, and even after death, they still despised each other. So, Li Si sent a dream to people in the Human World, planting a bunch of sunflowers on Zhang San’s grave to give it good fortune, affecting the grave’s feng shui and merit.
