[ Cold Crystal Spring Water: Upon using this item, the target’s [ Anxious ] , [ Fearful ] , [ Nervous ] , and various other negative states will be purified into the [ Calm ] state. ]

…

The description of the Cold Crystal Spring Water appeared before Chen Yilang’s eyes once again.

The spring water was an item that Chen Yilang had created by accident while trying out the [ Synthesis ] ability previously, and it had remained unused since then.

He had almost forgotten about the item’s existence!

Reasonably speaking, although the item seemed to be rather useless in normal situations, Chen Yilang could think of no better item to use in his current predicament.

It was like a miracle cure for his current situation!

Chen Yilang glanced at his status bar.

[ character: Chen Yilang ]

[ Status: Fearful ]

…

“Damn, it really is.”

Chen Yilang was a little annoyed.

He had always thought of haunted houses as mere gimmicks, and that he would not be afraid even if he were to take part in an actual one. However, his body was honest, and it had shown his true thoughts on the matter. His heart was racing, and his legs had gone limp.

His thoughts on the matter were similar to a drunkard claiming that they were not drunk.

“In that case.”

“Let’s try out the power of this [ Cold Crystal Spring Water ] .”

Chen Yilang did not think any further. He clicked on the icon of the [ Cold Crystal Spring Water ] and used the item.

The next instant.

A faint white mist began to gather in Chen Yilang’s hand, and once it dispersed, it revealed a small test tube.

The tube was half-filled with a transparent bright blue liquid.

“Is this the Cold Crystal Spring Water?”

The corner of Chen Yilang’s mouth twitched slightly.

This solution reminds me of the copper sulfate solutions that we created in the chemistry lab!

However, after experiencing all of the system’s previous surprises, Chen Yilang was no longer fazed.

He gulped the liquid down without any hesitation.

The next moment.

Chen Yilang felt as if he had entered a brand new world.

The moment the [ Cold Crystal Spring Water ] entered his stomach.

Chen Yilang felt as if his world had suddenly become peaceful.

It was as if his six roots of affliction had been purified, and he had lost all worldly desires.

He was in a complete state of Zen.

He felt as if he had already shed of his mortal coil, and that his soul had already transcended into the nine heavens. The mortal world was no longer of any concern to him.

“Damn.”

“This doesn’t feel right.”

“This feels strangely familiar…”

[ Ding! ]

[ You have used [ Cold Crystal Spring Water ], and your [ Fearful ] status has been cleansed! ]

[ You have attained the [ Sage ] status ! ]

[ Sage: While under this state, the target’s Mind attribute will be greatly increased! At the same time, the target will not receive any negative or positive emotional buffs! ]

“…”

Everything had happened all too suddenly.

Those who had experienced the Zen-like state after a certain activity would be well aware of the Cold Crystal Spring Water’s effects.

After all, the amount of calmness that had washed over Chen Yilang was tenfold of his usual “Sage” mode!

…

“It’s time to set off.”

Chen Yilang took a step forward.

“Boo!”

As Chen Yilang continued to move forward, countless ghosts and monsters appeared one after another.

They all rushed in front of Chen Yilang and used all kinds of methods to try and intimidate and harass him.

However.

Throughout the entire process, Chen Yilang’s face was numb and completely expressionless.

…

[ [ Level 3 Evil Spirit ] has used [ Roar of Terror ] to attack you! ]

Chen Yilang was expressionless.

[ You are immune to [ Level 3 Evil Spirit ]’s [ Roar of Terror ] ]

[ [ Level 3 Evil Spirit ] is using [ Cryptic Dance ] to attack you! ]

Chen Yilang was expressionless.

[ You are immune to [ Level 3 Evil Spirit ]’s [ Cryptic Dance ]! ]

[ [ Level 3 Evil Spirit ] is using [ Demonic Voice ] … ]

Chen Yilang was still expressionless.

[ You are immune to [ Demonic Voice ] … ]

…

“???”

What the f*ck?

The staff members acting as the ghosts had a mental breakdown.

No matter how hard they tried, the young man before them was treating them as if they did not exist. They could not squeeze out any reaction whatsoever from the young man!

They were even beginning to think that they were clowning themselves.

“Brothers, take a rest. You’ve have been working for half a day now. I’m sure you’re tired?”

Chen Yilang calmly pushed aside the two ghosts in front of him and continued to walk forward expressionlessly.

“…”

The group of ghosts looked at each other, speechless.

They could only watch as Chen Yilang gradually disappeared into the distance..

Meanwhile…

Chen Yilang, who had finally gotten rid of the harassment of the group of ghosts, quickly passed through the entire Netherworld Corridor and reached the end of the hallway.

It was exactly the same as what the previous participants had mentioned.

Indeed.

There was a bronze door that sealed off the corridor in the distance.

Chen Yilang subconsciously reached out and pushed on it.

However, it was very thick and heavy.

From the looks of it, brute force is not the answer to the obstacle at hand. No wonder those guys were forced to walk back dejectedly earlier.

However, Chen Yilang did not panic at all.

After all, upon reaching the bronze door, he received a prompt from the system.

[ A heavy bronze door ]

[ Remark: There seems to be traces of it being forced open, but it seems that those efforts have failed. They should have brought a key instead. ]

Chen Yilang took out the key from his pocket and inserted it into the lock.

He twisted it gently.

Snap —

Along with a crisp and melodious sound of gears turning.

The heavy bronze door in front of him slowly opened.

[ Ding! ]

[ You have used [ Old Bronze Key ] to open [ Bronze Door ] ! ]

[ Ding! ]

[ Congratulations! ]

[ You have cleared the dungeon [ City of Terror ] ! ]

[ Calculating reward… ]

[ You have obtained 1. Gold Coin + 2,888  2. Experience + 666! ]

[ Ding! ]

[ Congratulations! ]

[ You have completed the Quest: [ City of Terror ] ! ]

[ You have obtained a reward of 1. Gold Coin + 1,111  2. Experience + 345! ]

[ Ding! ]

[ Congratulations! ]

[ Your level has increased! ]

[ Level: Level 5→ Level 6 ]

[ You have received a level up reward: 1. Gold Coin + 3,000  2. Experience + 999! ]

…

Crash —

At the same time.

The sound of a large number of gold coins raining down was heard.

Looking at the long list of information that appeared in the system, Chen Yilang was a little dazzled.

However, seeing the number of gold coins in his inventory stacking up rapidly had filled Chen Yilang with great joy.

The reward this time was especially bountiful!

He felt that he could soon purchase a brand new toy from the mystery shop.

Very soon.

The bronze door was completely opened.

Just as Chen Yilang was about to step out of the door and walk past the finish line.

He heard a voice from behind.

“Awesome job, Brother Lang!”

He turned around and spotted Lin Jie.

Lin Jie had run all the way here with unconcealable excitement on his face. “You actually managed to open the bronze door!”

Following behind Lin Jie was Chen Jiahui, as well as a large group of tourists who had run back the same way.

“Awesome Bro, you’re goddamn awesome!”

“You’re the MVP brother!”

“As expected of a big boss, I thought we wouldn’t be able to walk out today!”

…

Chen Yilang could only smile awkwardly as he thought to himself, “Screw y’all, that’s not how you were reacting earlier, ain’t it?”

1. A Buddhist term, whereby each root represents negative mental states, which include, Doubt, Pride, and Anger.
