Zhao Dulai.
A third-year physical education student at the S City campus of Federal University.
That night, he had arranged to go out for barbecue with his childhood friend Li Wufeng. But just as the barbecue was brought to the table, they were forcibly transported to Karim Continent.
To be honest, he had been a little unaccustomed to it at first.
But he was a sports student, after all. After a brief period of mental adjustment, he pulled himself together again.
What else could he do? He couldn't just lose heart and wait to die, could he?
Fortunately, although he was a sports student, he wasn't stupid.
After learning the wonders of the Magic Desk, he immediately contacted his childhood friend.
To his surprise, they had both been assigned to District 666. Even more surprisingly, their Shelters were directly opposite each other, only about a dozen meters apart.
So early the next morning, the two of them headed out together to gather supplies.
They barely gathered anything all morning before being frightened by a black shadow swooping overhead. At his friend's suggestion, they had no choice but to move elsewhere to collect supplies.
After all that back and forth, the two of them had only managed to obtain a little over two hundred units of wood and a little over a hundred units of stone combined.
Fortunately, after relocating, they each found a Material Treasure Chest. At least they wouldn't have to worry about going hungry today.
But after a hard day's work, when they had each returned to their own Shelter to get some proper rest, Zhao Dulai had been standing by the window admiring the night scenery of this other world when he suddenly saw an object glowing with a deep blue light moving through the sky.
The Mineral Water bottle in his hand nearly fell to the floor from fright.
"Holy crap! This is huge!"
Shouting that, Zhao Dulai immediately rushed to the Magic Desk and opened the Regional Channel.
"Who has food? Five units of stone for one loaf of bread."
"Water, I need water. It's been a whole day. If I don't get water soon, I'll have no choice but to drink Creek Water."
"Half a bottle of Mineral Water for food. Bread, Self-heating Hot Pot, Steamed Buns, buns, anything works."
"Ailuaier, you bitch. Don't think this is over just because you killed one of my people."
"Lin Feng, stop barking in here. If you dare steal my stuff, you have to pay the price. If you've got the guts, come kill me. If you don't, then shut the hell up."
"James, you hook-selling bastard. I'll make you pay for my Pickaxe."
Wasn't Channel 666 supposed to be the Valley of Villains?
Zhao Dulai had only just opened the Regional Channel when he found the guys passionately going at each other.
"Everyone, guess what I just saw?"
"Say it if you've got something to say. No one's in the mood for riddles right now."
"Are you sick or something? We've been busy all day. Go sleep if you have nothing better to do. Why are you acting crazy in the channel?"
"Fine, fine, I won't beat around the bush. I just saw an object glowing with a deep blue light flying through the sky."
The previously heated channel instantly fell silent at Zhao Dulai's words. Even the people spamming item listings stopped.
"Huh?!"
"No way?"
"What exactly happened?"
"You're joking, right?"
"This concerns everyone's life and livelihood. No one would joke about something like this."
Seeing that people didn't believe him, Zhao Dulai immediately added.
"Brother Zhao Dulai, explain it more clearly. What exactly did it look like, and what kind of light was it giving off?"
"Sorry, Brother Xintianle, I can't really describe it. It was too dark, so I didn't see it clearly. But the deep blue light was real. It was like the light from a blue laser lamp, just not as bright. It flew smoothly past the night sky outside my window. It wasn't fast, but it was steady."
A deep blue light weaker than a laser lamp...
It had flown smoothly past the window...
Not fast, but steady...
Zhao Dulai's words made everyone think it over, and then they all thought of the same thing.
"Do you think... it could be... a Ghost?"
"Don't mess around! How could Ghosts exist in this world?"
"Blue Star not having them doesn't mean the magical world of Karim Continent doesn't."
"Uh..."
"We're screwed. This is the thing I'm most afraid of. Physical attacks are completely useless against it."
"Could he have seen wrong?"
"Probably not. I saw it too just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. I thought I had imagined it."
"I saw it too. It even descended from the sky once. When it flew back up, there was a hint of green in its blue glow. I figure someone got taken out, and it replenished its energy or something."
"Wait! There were still 9,979 people just now. Why has it become 9,978?"
"Fuck! Looks like there really are Ghosts!"
"Mom, where are you? I want to go home!"
"My closet moved. I'm done playing."
"Anyway, it's best if everyone stays indoors at night."
After learning that there were Ghosts in their district, some fiercely objected, some loudly questioned it, some added further explanations, and some trembled in fear.
But all of that seemed to have little to do with Lan Qingyou.
Or rather, she had no idea what was being discussed in the Regional Channel right now.
She was currently sorting through today's gains.
Besides the things she had found in the ruined house earlier, she now had two additional Material Treasure Chests in her arms.
She had discovered both of them by chance on her way back.
Sure enough, Material Treasure Chests seemed easier to spot at night than during the day.
After all, the green ambient glow they gave off in the darkness was incredibly conspicuous.
But she wasn't in a hurry to open them. Instead, after taking everything out, she identified each item one by one.
After all, these were things acquired from this world. It was better to identify them first when she didn't know what they were for.
[Worn Herb Gathering Bag (C)] [Effect: Contains a space of 1 cubic meter. Magic Power can be infused into it to store items. Herbs stored within will not lose their medicinal potency over time.] [Description: It originally seemed to possess a larger space capable of holding more, but due to prolonged loss of Magic Power, only this tiny amount remains. You can try nurturing it with Magic Power. Perhaps it may return to its former state.]
After placing the burlap sack on the Small Screen, she received this string of identification results.
Well, damn. A spatial item—something everyone dreamed of having.
One cubic meter was small?
She didn't mind at all. It could hold a full ton of water, okay? And it even seemed possible to restore it.
More importantly, herbs stored in it wouldn't lose their medicinal potency. For an alchemist, there could hardly be better news than that.
Of course.
This had originally been found in an alchemist's Workshop. It was only natural that it suited an alchemist.
Thinking this, Lan Qingyou nervously picked up the Medicine Bag in her excitement, then opened its mouth to see how she was supposed to use this spatial item.
It said to infuse it with Magic Power, but she had no idea exactly how to do that.
