In response to the elderly Undead's words, Ling Chen nodded as he memorized the location of the Underworld Blood Lake. He then took a look at what the shop was selling … this was one of the most desolate and dilapidated places in the Underworld, so Ling Chen didn't have any expectations for what they were selling. However, after taking a look, he was given a slight shock.
[Underworld Coffee Bean]: Coffee beans harvested from coffee trees that grow in environments with dense deathly aura.

This shabby Underworld shop only sold 4 things, but the effects of each of them caused Ling Chen to stare in shock. A coffee bean that could increase SP by 50! In the Forgotten Continent, this was a heaven-defying item, and yet it was sold by weight here! Stones that could permanently add attributes were sold by the ton here! A level five pet … Its grade was only one level lower than a Celestial. In the whole of Hua Xia, there weren't many high-level pets that could be found, but here, they were being sold in bunches! Moreover, there was an offensive item that could deal 5,000 damage with a swing of the hand. The scariest thing was that there was no limit to its usage! With this item, even a Level 1 newbie could insta-kill a player below Level 50. It was a complete imbalance. In theory, it shouldn't exist!
The things sold in the Underworld were on a completely different level to the things sold in the Forgotten Continent.
However, this unit of currency … Hell's money?
"What's this ghost money?" Ling Chen raised his head and asked.
"The currency of the Netherworld. You can obtain it through labor. If you don't want to, you can snatch it from those low-level undead … For example, those low-level zombies in the wild. As long as you had enough strength, it was legal to rob or even kill someone in the Netherworld. The weak are prey to the strong; this is the most basic law of existence in any realm, "the elderly Undead said with a stiff expression.
Ling Tian City had risen, and the income from gold was astronomical. As such, Ling Chen's pockets were naturally bulging to the max. However, it was evident that no matter how much gold he had, he wouldn't be able to spend it in the Underworld. This was because the currency used here was Hell's money!
There wasn't a single Hell's money. After thinking about it for a while, Ling Chen walked out of the shop and walked around the Underworld Village. The only feeling he got was that it was in ruins, and the atmosphere was even colder and gloomier than the human world's graveyards. Occasionally, he would meet a few Undead, but just like the first Undead he met, they didn't even look at him. They were like corpses that had no consciousness and could only move.
This was most likely how the Underworld Village lived. In the end, Undead were still Undead. Low-level Undead didn't have the intelligence of humans, and they couldn't live like humans.
After taking out the rough map and looking at it again, Ling Chen summoned Little Gray to confirm the direction. He then summoned Snow Cherry and flew towards the Underworld Blood Lake and Underworld Royal City.
After flying for less than three kilometres, a grey fog suddenly appeared in front of them, greatly reducing their visibility. Ling Chen slowed down and looked down. Within the grey fog, he could see a slow-moving shadow.
[Zombie]: Type: Undead, Level: 50 HP: 7000 The lowest-level human-type Undead in the Underworld. They have powerful attacks derived from the power of death, but their intelligence is low. They only have the most basic ability to make decisions and an excessive desire to destroy.
Passive Abilities: Very high Attack and Defence, 70% resistance to darkness-type attacks.
Attack Skills: Swings its stiff arms to heavily hit a target. Once hit, it will deal a lot of damage and has a chance of inflicting a [Poisoned] status.
Weaknesses: Weak to fire-type and light-type attacks, and its movement speed is extremely slow.
Within the grey fog, a slow-moving shadow walked about aimlessly. Their bodies were a shocking greenish-black colour, and their clothes were incredibly tattered. Most of their bodies had rotted away, and some even had their eyes hanging out of their sockets. They walked incredibly slowly, only taking a step every two seconds. These were obviously the [Zombies] that the old undead had mentioned. They were very similar to the ordinary zombies outside the Netherworld Gate, but even though they were the lowest-level undead in the Netherworld, their levels and abilities were incomparable to ordinary zombies in the outside world.
Ling Chen thought for a moment before turning around and rushing down with Snow Cherry. He used [Chilling Star] with his right hand and [Twilight Spear] with his left, sending out two [Boundless Desolation] attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang …
As the evolved skill of [Ling Tian Burst], [Boundless Desolation] was not only much more powerful, but its attack range was also ten meters in front of him. The additional vibrational force was also greatly increased. One on the left and one on the right, two ten meter long arcs mercilessly swept across. A dozen or so walking corpses that hadn't even seen their target clearly let out an extremely unpleasant howl and fell to the ground crookedly.
Ding …
Ling Chen seemed to hear the sound of something metallic falling to the ground. He immediately went to the Zombies that could not move, and after searching for a long time, he finally found two items that were cold to the touch. They were dark grey in color, and they looked like gold coins.
[Underworld Coin]: A currency used in the Underworld. It is impossible to tell what it is made of.
After killing 13 Zombies in a single move, he had obtained two Underworld Coins. With Ling Chen's 28 points of Luck, the drop rate was shockingly low. However, Ling Chen did not feel that it was low at all. In the village, the prices of the things that had amazing effects were shockingly low. One Underworld Coin could buy 8 Underworld Coffee Beans, and if he ate all of them, it would be equivalent to 400 SP! The two Underworld Coins in Ling Chen's hands could be exchanged for 800 SP! This was a number that could make almost all players go crazy.
However, from the description of the Netherworld Coffee Bean, it seemed to taste very, very bitter. In order to obtain those 50 Skill Points, it was not a big deal to suffer the bitterness of the coffee bean for a while.
This was what Ling Chen was thinking before he ate the Underworld Coffee Bean.
One day, after he tasted the Underworld Coffee Bean, he would understand … that this seemingly cheap SP was actually very, very, very, very, very, very hard to earn!
With Ling Chen's Profession Advancement and the two new pieces of Level 60 Heaven's End grade equipment, his overall strength had greatly increased. He could easily kill normal monsters that were 10 levels higher than him, let alone these Zombies that were lower level than him. After casually clearing out a few of them and picking up 10 or so Underworld Coins, Ling Chen, feeling quite bored, returned to the sky and flew towards the Underworld Royal City. Reaching the Underworld Blood Lake as soon as possible and finding the Orb was his only goal in entering the Underworld.
Leng 'Er silently floated in front of Ling Chen, her small feet lightly on Snow Cherry's body as she silently looked ahead. After entering the Underworld, Leng 'Er had been very quiet, not making a single sound. Her eyes had been listlessly staring ahead, as if she was looking at something or thinking about something. Her current state was undoubtedly related to the Underworld. After all, Leng 'Er was a special Undead, and perhaps this place gave her a sense of belonging.
After flying for 10 or so kilometres, everything that Ling Chen saw could be described as eerie, desolate, and gloomy. The entire Underworld seemed to be immersed in a suffocating darkness, which seemed to be the favorite environment of the undead. At this time, Leng'Er, who had been quiet all this time, turned around and looked at Ling Chen with her dark eyes. Using her soft voice, she said slowly, "Master, tell me a story."
Ling Chen's head started to hurt … Stories, more stories … After being with Leng 'Er for so long, it was only in the game that he had to tell her a few stories every day. Clearly, Leng' Er had become accustomed to listening to his stories, and Leng 'Er's affection towards him was slowly increasing. However, Linge's Fairy Tales, Andersen's Fairy Tales, Martian Fairy Tales, Martian Fairy Tales, Martian Fairy Tales, Martian Fairy Tales, Martian Fairy Tales, Martian Fairy Tales, Martian Fairy Tales … and so on. How could there be so many stories to tell?
Hmm … wait a minute! I don't think I've ever told a fable … That's it!
"En, sure!" Ling Chen immediately revealed a gentle and doting smile. "Then I'll tell Leng'Er a fable today."
"Fable … story?" Leng 'Er, who had never heard of this term, repeated blankly.
Ling Chen said in a serious tone, "Fables are stories that have some sort of logic behind them. Not only is it pleasant to listen to, but it can also teach Leng 'Er all kinds of logic … Hmm, the fable that I'm going to tell now is called — Waiting for Rabbits! "
Leng 'Er blinked her eyes expectantly and made a listening gesture.
Ling Chen gathered his emotions and began to tell the story. "A long, long time ago, there was a farmer uncle. One day, when he was farming in the field, he suddenly saw a rabbit running over. It suddenly hit a tree stump next to it and killed itself. The farmer picked up the dead rabbit and happily returned home. From then on, the farmer put down his heavy farming work and sat on the tree stump every day, hoping to get another rabbit to kill. Finally, the heavens did not disappoint those who waited. On the 88th day, he successfully got hemorrhoids. "
