Chapter 78: Chapter 77: Deceit Baby’s Two Abilities [Subscription Request (9/10)]
…
An hour and ten minutes later, Mu Rufeng, Qian Xiaoyi, and several employees returned to their department.
It had to be said, the morning rush hour was really congested; what should have taken only forty minutes took them over an hour.
Mu Rufeng returned to the room he had rested in earlier.
Upon returning to the room, he first let the bandages unfurl; naturally, the items wrapped in them were still placed aside.
He entered the bathroom, turned on the shower, and the water poured down in torrents.
Although it wasn’t hot on the train, Mu Rufeng had broken out in a sweat, feeling sticky and tainted with a certain foul odor.
He felt uncomfortable all over if he didn’t take a shower.
As he showered, Mu Rufeng suddenly remembered that he had used a Rule Type Item on the train, called “Loving Singing Mouth.”
“Loving Singing Mouth”: The owner of the mouth was a girl who loved to sing and was very talented. Her singing deeply moved the entire city. Then one day, the girl disappeared. When she reappeared, her mouth had been cut off and had become someone else’s collection.
Effect: Rule Type Item, can specify a target, forcibly making them sing a song loudly.
Note: After specifying a target to sing, within 24 hours, the user must also sing a song that the target had sung. If the time limit is exceeded, it will be enforced.
According to the item’s rule, Mu Rufeng still had to sing “Good Luck.”
Well, that’s perfect; taking a bath and singing a song was perfectly normal.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Mu Rufeng, cleanly dressed, opened the door of his room.
He brought in a meal delivered by an employee and in a few minutes, he had gulped it all down.
Mu Rufeng pulled out a napkin, wiped his greasy mouth, then drank a bottle of water in one go.
“Comfortable,” Mu Rufeng touched his belly contentedly.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng opened his attribute panel.

A major change in attributes, now including two new sections: Title and Ghost Power.
“Right, let’s try Little Ying’s abilities,” Mu Rufeng suddenly remembered that he hadn’t used Little Ying’s abilities since contracting with her.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng communicated with Little Ying.
But Little Ying was still sound asleep, showing no signs of waking up.
Mu Rufeng suddenly discovered that he could use Little Ying’s abilities at will.
He carefully sensed them; Little Ying had two abilities.
The first was what the thin Abnormality mentioned, Spiritual Immunity.
[Spiritual Immunity]: Can immunize against spiritual pollution not exceeding own level.
Originally, the thin Abnormality mentioned it was immune to third-level and below spiritual pollution, but now it wasn’t just that simple.
As long as Little Ying continued to level up, she could be immune to higher levels. If Little Ying reached level 8, she might even be immune to the spiritual pollution of a Level 9 Strange.
An ability that could grow was definitely a miraculous skill.
As for the second ability, it also greatly shocked Mu Rufeng.
[Instantaneous Movement]: Can briefly teleport to any place within sight, initial teleportation distance one meter, and each level increase doubles the teleportation distance. At level 5 and above, no line of sight is needed, nor are obstacles recognized, allowing for teleportation.
“Instantaneous Movement!!!” Mu Rufeng was greatly shocked.
This skill was definitely a God-tier skill.
Though it might seem like such a short distance, this was instantaneous movement after all—whether for fighting or fleeing, it was undoubtedly a God-tier skill.
Mu Rufeng tried to calm his emotions, then his mind stirred.
The next instant, he turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared from the spot.
Two meters away, a ball of black mist appeared out of nowhere and coalesced into Mu Rufeng.
“How magical, such a special feeling,” Mu Rufeng was excited.
Then, Mu Rufeng blinked a few more times before stopping.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to continue playing, but his ghost power was drained.
A Level 1 ghost power only allowed him to teleport five times, although, if he only teleported one meter or less, it used less ghost power, allowing him to use the skill a few more times.
Overall, it was a marvelous skill, just limited by the amount of his own ghost power.
Mu Rufeng could also use Little Ying’s ghost power to perform it. With this, Mu Rufeng could absolutely stride confidently.
After all, with so much ghost power stored inside Little Ying, unlimited teleportation was possible!
Originally, Mu Rufeng had wanted to take another nap, but he found himself not the slightest bit tired.
He had already slept a few hours when he first entered the Bloody Train, and then he had slept almost seven or eight hours on the train.
Besides, he had just received a reward and tried out Little Ying’s ability, making his spirits soar, so how could he possibly sleep?
Immediately, Mu Rufeng lay on the sofa, took out his phone, and opened the Mysterious Forum app.
Upon entering the Mysterious Forum app, a super large, pinned title appeared in front of Mu Rufeng.
[Shock! The Burning Train, the Bao Shi Cruise hit by Level 9 vehicles!!!]
Below, there was a somewhat blurry picture of a burning train.
It seemed that due to the distance, the photo wasn’t very clear, but one could barely make out that it was a train.
Mu Rufeng was slightly startled; this was the very Burning Bloody Train he had driven.
“It was actually captured?” Mu Rufeng hastily clicked on the post.
The owner of the post was a user named Crazy Zero Girl.
The poster claimed to be inside Bao Shi Cruise’s instance at the time, working as a cleaner.
She was cleaning stains on the deck when she stumbled upon the shocking scene.
Then, she took out her phone to take a picture and was about to keep taking photos when, for some reason, her phone was suddenly blocked and powered off.
Thus, only that one photo leaked.
At the same time, she also described the thrilling vehicular battle through her words.
Eventually, at the end of the article, the poster mentioned that it seemed because Bao Shi Cruise lost, the remaining contractors successfully cleared the instance and returned to the real world.
After reading the post, Mu Rufeng looked through some comments.
Gee, even though the post had only been published for a few hours, it had already received tens of thousands of comments.
Most of them mentioned how lucky the poster was.
There were also comments speculating whether the burning train was the Bloody Train.
The more he read, the more intriguing it became; Mu Rufeng kept scrolling through the comments for a whole half hour.
He finally reluctantly closed the post.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
At that moment, a series of loud knocks came from outside the door.
“Mu Rufeng, Mu Rufeng, are you in there? I’m Tian Lin, a minister from the Changsha government offices, and I’d like to speak with you.”
Tian Lin’s loud voice came through the door.
“I’m here, hang on, let me get dressed.” Mu Rufeng hastily stood up and quickly put on the clothes and pants Zhao Dayong had prepared for him.
Soon, Mu Rufeng opened the door.
“So, you are Mu Rufeng, lad. Quite capable, I must say. Prospective, indeed—to have safely traveled ten stations.”
Tian Lin patted Mu Rufeng on the shoulder and praised.
“That’s quite some strength,” Mu Rufeng secretly thought, though he smilingly said, “Minister Tian, it was just luck on my part.”
“No matter what, you made it through ten stations. Can I come in and sit?”
“Of course, Minister Tian, please come in.”
Soon, the two sat down at the table.
“Come, tell me about your journey on the train. If you discovered some rules that have gone unnoticed, you can mention those too,” Tian Lin said.
Mu Rufeng nodded, not surprised, and immediately began to recite the prepared script he had thought through.
After a while, Tian Lin stood up and patted Mu Rufeng’s shoulder again.
“Your experience is very helpful. I’ll write a written report based on what you’ve told me and send it to the Capital.”
“Don’t worry, there’s a reward for this—also for your first instance’s strategy. Both rewards will be sent to you together,” Tian Lin said.
“Minister Tian, what kind of rewards are they?” Mu Rufeng asked.
“You have three choices: one, two hundred soul coins, two, two hundred thousand in cash, three, twenty contribution points,” Tian Lin explained.
“Two… two hundred thousand?” Mu Rufeng was slightly startled.
Soul coins, contribution points—he ignored them all, his attention immediately captured by the two hundred thousand.
He had worked for two years, room and board included, and had only saved about a hundred thousand.
Now, could he earn two hundred thousand in just two short days? Was there even a choice to ponder?
“I choose the two hundred thousand,” Mu Rufeng promptly said.
“Are you sure?” Tian Lin seemed surprised by Mu Rufeng’s choice.
“Soul coins are extremely useful in instances, and contribution points, accumulated, can be exchanged for powerful items in our department.”
Tian Lin feared Mu Rufeng might not understand, so he explained further.
Mu Rufeng thought to himself, “Joking, two hundred soul coins, they’re really treating me like a beggar. In the Mysterious World, I am a billionaire.”
As for contribution points, he didn’t care much, as he already had plenty of items on him.
“Minister Tian, I understand, but I still choose the two hundred thousand in cash,” Mu Rufeng said seriously.
“Well, it’s up to you then. By no later than 5:30 today, the two hundred thousand will be transferred to your bank account.”
“By the way, I still want to remind you, in the future, prioritize keeping yourself alive. Don’t risk your life for a so-called higher level of clearance.”
“Being alive is the foundation of everything. I penalized you half a month’s bonus earlier in front of everyone because I was angry at the time.”
“However, I regret saying that. Tell you what, I’ll personally give you an extra ten thousand, and it’ll be transferred to your bank along with the two hundred thousand,” Tian Lin said.
“Ah? There’s no need, Minister Tian. How could I take your ten thousand? I’m alright,” Mu Rufeng said, somewhat surprised.
“Alright, you should rest a bit more. I’ll give you another day off tomorrow, and then I’ll have someone take you to the house assigned to you, let you move in and settle down. The day after tomorrow, you start work,” Minister Tian waved his hand and walked straight toward the door.
What do you think?
