Curse Acolyte

In response to Bei Li's suggestion to repair the equipment depot, Lu Wu had initially intended to proceed immediately.

However, upon learning from Bei Li that the repair would require a staggering 500,000 soul coins, Lu Wu temporarily abandoned the idea.

The reason was simple: many items in the equipment depot were infused with Soul Power. Unlike the Library Pavilion, which only contained books, repairing the depot would require additional Soul Power to replenish the Soul Tools, resulting in a massive expenditure.

Nevertheless, Bei Li's mention of building a Ghost Ship piqued Lu Wu's interest.

According to Bei Li's description, the Ghost Ship was a special vessel capable of devouring Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials to self-modify and evolve.

This type of ship was virtually indestructible. Even if completely dismantled, it would regenerate as good as new after consuming a large amount of spiritual materials, making it ideal for players.

Once he obtained the design blueprints, he could produce initial Ghost Ships for sale to players, who could then cultivate and evolve them on their own.

The idea of developing both sea and land simultaneously took root in Lu Wu's mind.

Meanwhile, the video of last night's forum livestream had ignited players' desire for the Underworld Sea. Many pirate enthusiasts were already preparing to build their own ships, intending to conquer Cha Na's Liuli District and embark on a grand sea adventure.

Cha Na of the Liuli District had become the target of all players, who were eager to eliminate her.

However, many players had seen the video by the sea and knew of Cha Na's power. The current player forces were simply no match for her.

Even though they had a numerical advantage, the gap in individual strength was too great. Development remained the priority.

But the forums were never short of talent. Several tactical masters immediately began devising battle plans.

There were even bizarre individuals who wanted to venture into the Underworld Sea to find Poseidon and seek his cooperation.

Of course, this suggestion was immediately rejected.

While many players admired the formidable Sea King, they also understood that he was not someone to be trifled with. Even Cha Na had to submit to him in humiliation. The possibility of players negotiating with him was nonexistent.

Despite this, the players did not give up. They began formulating new tactics while accumulating strength. Once they were powerful enough, they would annihilate Cha Na the Ghost General and seize her territory.

At the same time, to facilitate the players, Lu Wu had Bei Li introduce a new feature in the game: the auction house.

The auction house would allow players to more easily find the items they needed. By simply entering the name of an item in the search bar, they could find items listed by other players with their prices.

Players who had leveled up and wanted to exchange for higher-level equipment could also sell their surplus weapons while upgrading.

Of course, Lu Wu also set a service fee for this feature, extracting 20% of the item's selling price in Soul Coins.

On the first day of the auction house's launch, tens of thousands of items were placed on the trading floor.

The types of items were extremely varied. In addition to weapons and armor, some players even put up strange stones, hoping to get lucky and sell them for a sky-high price.

This caused many players to complain that there were profiteers everywhere, and some veteran players even recalled memories of being scammed while setting up stalls in other games.

The day after the auction house went live, Lu Wu was sleeping when he was suddenly awakened by Bei Li shaking him.

Opening his eyes, Lu Wu saw Bei Li holding a broken dagger, staring at him with glowing eyes, which made Lu Wu feel uneasy.

"Wu, I've found the direction for the assassin class advancement!"

"Talk nicely, put the knife down first." Lu Wu tugged at the blanket.

Upon seeing this, Bei Li took a step back with an excited expression, waving the dagger in the air:

"This is a relic of the Curse Clan. It was actually found by a player. I think the assassin's class advancement is promising."

Scanning the dagger, which was clearly missing a corner and covered in rust, Lu Wu couldn't see anything special about it.

"Is this thing powerful?"

Bei Li nodded vigorously: "It's very powerful. This is a weapon of the Curse Clan. I've always considered the Curse Clan as a possible direction for assassin class advancement or a hidden class, but it was just wishful thinking. But this time, it can really be realized!"

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Lu Wu's face: "Tell me specifically, what's going on!"

Bei Li nodded: "The Curse Apostles were once a powerful race in the Beiqi land. It is said that this race is related to the hells in the Underworld Great Domain. Every member of their clan is a natural killer, possessing the ability to summon Curse Demons. They openly provoked King of Beiqi, and were bloodily suppressed by King of Beiqi leading a large army. It can be said that this race has disappeared from the land of Beiqi, but I didn't expect to find their things here. I thought I could only find them after the equipment depot was repaired."

As she spoke, Bei Li's eyes narrowed into crescent moons:

"I was bored just now, so I was browsing the auction house, and I found this cursed weapon. I don't know which player put it up, but it's only selling for 5 Soul Coins, haha, what a bargain."

"Then what is the effect of this thing?" A smile also appeared on Lu Wu's face.

"I'll just make a template for you to see." Saying that, Bei Li grabbed Lu Wu's hand and directly activated the Battle Artifact's ability, teleporting to the Netherworld.

Lu Wu, still in his pajamas, was dragged by Bei Li into a laboratory within the Netherworld.

After fiddling with a dagger and with the help of the experimental machinery, the dagger was broken down into countless tiny particles. With a wave of Bei Li's hand, these particles were absorbed by the Battle Artifact's sub-ring on her hand and transmitted to the Battle Artifact's space, turning into a series of data.

Then, Bei Li began to carefully arrange the data sets.

After a two-hour reorganization and arrangement, an excited smile finally appeared on Bei Li's face.

Lu Wu quickly stepped forward and immediately saw the content displayed on the data.

[Class Introduction]:

[Curse Acolyte]: Willing to be cursed, abandoning faith, transforming into a Curse Acolyte who wields death, drawing the source of power from pain. In their eyes, death is the beginning, and living is Avici Hell.

Class Trait: Master of the power of curses, possessing the power to summon Curse Demons

Equipped Weapon: Dagger

"You're really something!" Lu Wu said excitedly, then vigorously ruffled Bei Li's little head.

"Don't make noise, it's not completely finished yet, you wait a little longer!" Bei Li, wearing a lab coat, pouted and pushed Lu Wu back several steps.

Immediately afterward, Bei Li started working busily again.

This made Lu Wu feel a burst of emotion and comfort in his heart.

What was that saying? Behind every successful man stands an all-powerful little loli. Who can say it isn't true?

At noon, a game notification sounded in the minds of all players in the game.
