A Ghost Story Unfolds: The Cannon Fodder Went Mad by Burning Ghost Money

Chapter 40 Who Am I 39Lin Xiangjun casually tucked both booklets into her pocket.

While she was looking through the clues, Wang Min had already turned the security guard’s wardrobe and bed upside down and was currently ripping apart the layers of the quilt.

When Lin Xiangjun turned back to look at her, she happened to see her excitedly pulling a small black box out of the quilt’s stuffing.

”Master! A prop!”

Lin Xiangjun looked at the room, which seemed to have been ransacked by Japanese invaders, fell silent for a moment, and gave a thumbs up.

”Well done!”

Wang Min proudly patted the bag she was carrying, which held a few scattered items that rattled when she tapped it: ”This security guard has quite a lot of good stuff; there are five or six props. I just checked, and they all seem pretty useful.”

Lin Xiangjun made room for Wang Min to continue searching the desk area, while she walked into the room to change her clothes.

There were truly many good things in the Security Room, and their ranks were not low either.

Wang Min found six props.

【A small pack of handkerchief tissues: After use, it can briefly mask human aura and simulate a low-rank weird aura for ten minutes. There are five sheets left, enough to let you experience fifty minutes of green tea-flavored weirdness.】

【Soggy sunflower seeds: After eating, there is a one percent chance to return to a past moment you regret. Perhaps you should call it regret medicine? However, there are only fifty seeds in a small pack, so whether you can return to the past depends on your luck.】

【a ballpoint pen: Place the cap at the location you need to target, and the person holding the pen body can teleport back to the cap’s location at any time. This prop can only be used once per instance. Why would a pen have teleportation abilities? Perhaps it’s because people are always losing the cap.】

【Peppermint candy: After use, it can heal injuries to a certain extent. A very ordinary healing prop.】

There were three packs of handkerchief tissues, and only one of each of the other three. The handkerchief tissues and peppermint candy were c-rank props, the soggy sunflower seeds were a b-grade prop, and the ballpoint pen was an a-grade prop.

Lin Xiangjun was very satisfied with these props.

She packed the items away and left the Security Room with Wang Min.

Lin Xiangjun was preparing to head to the Cleaner’s basement to take a look, but as soon as she stepped out, her gaze inadvertently caught a green trash can hidden in the shadows.

A sudden inspiration struck her, and she walked over and reached out to touch the trash can.

【green trash can: Recyclable trash thrown into the trash can can be processed and the resulting product spat out; non-recyclable trash will be directly destroyed after being thrown in. A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier; a trash can that doesn’t want to be a perfect trash recycling station is not a good trash can.】

It was actually an a-grade prop!

Lin Xiangjun sighed: ”This security guard really is something, secretly hiding so many good things in his own home.”

Just the a-grade props alone numbered two!

This novice instance was way too wealthy!

However, the information for this trash can was a bit vague; what would come out if recyclable trash was thrown in? Lin Xiangjun thought for a moment, then took out the sports vest and sports pants she had just taken off, along with the sports jacket with torn sleeves, and threw them all into the trash can.

A small electronic screen lit up on the flipping lid of the trash can.

【Detected recyclable trash: Damaged sportswear, repair cost: 10 underworld currency, repair?】

Seeing that it required an investment of underworld currency, Lin Xiangjun was not too disappointed. After all, money was needed everywhere in the weird world. If one could repair things for free without spending money and fleece the weird world, this trash can’s rating shouldn’t be A, but SS.

Selected 【Yes】.

【Repairing...】

【Repair complete, please retrieve.】

A flap on the side of the trash can opened. Lin Xiangjun reached in and pulled out a plastic bag with a brand-new set of sportswear neatly folded inside, as if it had just been packed.

Lin Xiangjun took out the sportswear and examined it carefully. In the end, she had to admit with some regret that the clothing had no enhancements and no extra special functions; it had simply gone from being damaged to brand new.

This function was a bit useless to her.

If an ordinary person had obtained this prop, it should be very useful.

By paying a relatively small amount of underworld currency, one could update all damaged daily tools, effectively reducing living costs.

If this person had a little savings and could afford to rent a storefront, they could even choose to open a shop in the weird world specializing in repairing daily tools. As long as the pricing was reasonable, many people without much savings would likely choose to repair rather than buy new.

If business was good enough to cover living expenses, then apart from the one mandatory monthly mission, they wouldn’t have to risk their lives in instances.

However, opening such a shop was also a bit dangerous; one had to be careful of those factions. After all, it was a very useful a-grade prop. If it were discovered by others, it would either be forced buying and selling or murder for treasure.

But what could the factions do with this thing? Did they have so many things to repair?

Lin Xiangjun suddenly discovered her own limitations.

She had been thinking about the use of this prop using the mindset of an ordinary person, but what if it were changed to a tycoon?

If it were a wealthy person, how would they use this prop, and how could they maximize the return?

Lin Xiangjun gently tapped the lid of the trash can, fell silent for a moment, and pulled a candy wrapper from her pouch.

This was the wrapper for the prop 【jin baoguis chocolate candy】. At the time, she felt this prop was both delicious and useful, and keeping the wrapper might allow her to find clues later to see if she could buy the same candy.

Who knew it would come in handy for an experiment right now.

She threw the candy wrapper into the green trash can.

【Detected recyclable trash: Candy wrapper leftovers, repair cost: 100, repair?】

It really works!

Lin Xiangjun’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Great, great, this prop is great! With this trash can, doesn’t it mean that all her props can be used infinitely as long as she can afford the underworld currency for repairs?

Of course, Lin Xiangjun was confident that there was no amount of underworld currency she couldn’t pay. The long string of numbers on her bank card was as long as Snake, and if she couldn’t afford the repair cost, then this prop wasn’t meant for people to use at all.

Lin Xiangjun happily pressed 【Yes】.

【Repairing...】

Lin Xiangjun was already prepared to retrieve the item from the side flap, but to her surprise, the machine’s screen changed, and the side flap did not open.

【Remaining repair time: 24 hours】

Lin Xiangjun withdrew her hand with some regret.

She was too naive.

It was a prop, after all. If it could refresh infinitely with no cooldown, that would be truly heaven-defying, and the weird world obviously wouldn’t give players such an opportunity.

However, being able to get one candy a day was not bad either. Lin Xiangjun put the trash can back into her pouch.

She could prepare a glass bottle; once a candy was replicated, she could take it out and throw the wrapper back in to replicate again... It was just unclear if the game would impose any restrictions, such as the candy becoming ineffective after a certain amount of time once taken out of the wrapper.

We’ll see. Lin Xiangjun brushed the dust off her body and walked towards the apartment building with Wang Min.
