Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Who is the grandkid causing trouble?
"Bro, take more, take more!"
Feng Xue placed a large box filled with high-denomination bills on the bar counter, looking as if the bartender could take as much as he wanted. However, the bartender calmly held his glass, lightly wiping the shiny surface, showing no intention of taking the money. Instead, he righteously said,
"Sir, we’re running a legitimate business here."
"Damn! You took a tip just now. Could there be some hidden mechanism?" Feng Xue grimaced, scratching his head vigorously. After getting special information from the bartender through a tip, Feng Xue immediately took out more money, but this time the bartender acted like a different person, not taking a cent!
However, Feng Xue quickly came up with new ideas. Maybe this information had a cooldown, or perhaps it required a transaction before tipping, or even had a limit on the tip amount.
After several unsuccessful attempts, he had no choice temporarily but to go to the department store and enter the passenger elevator.
However, instead of pressing the floor buttons as usual, he swiped the keypad, displaying floors 1-18, upward like operating a pad.
The keypad easily rose a level, revealing a hidden button—
-1.
"Who would expect this purely mechanical-looking keypad to slide up like a touchscreen?" As Feng Xue pressed the -1 button, he threw salt into the corner of the elevator, wondering if this -1 could be activated upon discovery or if special information from the bartender was necessary before descending.
But the -1 level quickly arrived, and with a "ding," Feng Xue stopped pondering these trivial matters and exited the elevator, looking at the mall’s underground first floor.
"As expected of an underground floor, it truly has an Underworld vibe."
Feng Xue surveyed the area, feeling a bit speechless. The underground floor wasn’t large, just about the size of a regular convenience store. However, the shelves didn’t display food, toys, or household goods but various Underworld items—
Not a metaphor, but real Underworld goods.
Such as incense sticks, skulls, pumpkin heads, ghost masks, and other oddities.
Like high-end food and drinks in the department store, these items were all phantom items.
Of course, just like how Cola simply refreshes the mind and body, these things, apart from descriptions like "This is a skull," had no additional effects.
However, if one had something like Undead Witchcraft, these phantom items might yield special effects when used.
Feng Xue wasn’t here to practice Undead Witchcraft. He approached the dead-faced salesperson who looked like they had just been dug out of a coffin and said, based on the bartender’s information,
"I’m here to buy ritual items."
Hearing Feng Xue’s words, the dead-faced salesperson stiffly turned their head and spoke in a rough, emotionless voice,
"Cultural system? Ritual target?"
Feng Xue glanced over Halloween pumpkin heads, Undead Festival skeletons, Easter eggs...
Finally, he said,
"The ritual target is Kaidan; for culture, the Eastern system, specifically, it’d be best to have items from the Yan Country culture system."
"..." Hearing the requirements, the clerk pushed forward with both hands, and on the counter, akin to a display screen, appeared a list of items, including incense, joss paper, paper ingots, paper lanterns, Divine Master Card... and other funeral supplies.
"Ritual items for Kaidan don’t seem much different from those for ordinary people..." Feng Xue glanced at the list, took out the suitcase of money he couldn’t tip earlier, and slapped it on the counter, saying to the clerk,
"Give me the best set."
The clerk opened the suitcase, took a few stacks of paper money from it, placed them on the counter, took the remaining box under the counter, then packed a bag with incense, white candles, two white paper lanterns, ten stacks of joss paper of different denominations, large and small gold ingots, netherworld paper printed with copper coin shapes, and miscellaneous other items.
"Your change."
The clerk returned a bag of goods along with several stacks of paper money to Feng Xue, still speaking coldly. Feng Xue reached for the goods but left the paper money, saying, as before,
"Consider it a tip."
As soon as these words fell, the clerk’s face changed, hurriedly grabbing an incense stick as thick as an index finger from the shelf, leaping over the counter at a speed Feng Xue couldn’t react to, and stuffed it into Feng Xue’s shopping bag, saying solemnly,
"Sir, you can’t speak carelessly in the Netherworld Goods Store."
"Uh..." Feng Xue grimaced, feeling there must be some hidden mechanism here, even pondering what the consequences would be if he had run out before the clerk could stuff the incense in.
However, considering the various hidden mechanisms in this Babylon Tower, he thought it wise not to tempt fate—
Unless one day he obtained powers like Yin Tianzi.
Thinking of this, Feng Xue threw a power of the Wild Martial God into the Kaidan Fire, feeling much more at ease as Chai Xin turned into power.
The reason he bought a bunch of grave offerings was naturally due to the information given by the clerk—
It was said that if you set up a memorial tablet for the deceased at home, you could enter a world where Kaidan was dead upon opening a door.
Regarding this so-called world where Kaidan was dead, Feng Xue didn’t quite understand as Kaidan’s death categorized; a normal death resulted in a resurrection loading, a permanent death meant even legends ceased. Due to the bartender’s simple reminder, it was hard to determine what kind of situation it referred to.
But regardless, this world was undoubtedly where phantom items existed and could potentially spawn new Kaidan, yet lacked any Kaidan presence.
After all, if only one or two Kaidan died while others existed, it wouldn’t differ much from an ordinary world with Kaidan.
Upon returning home, Feng Xue didn’t rush to create any Lucky Milk but followed the "tutorial," setting up an incense burner, lighting incense sticks, candles, hanging lanterns, and burning a handful of joss paper in the fire pit. However, on the Divine Master Card, he didn’t write a worship object; instead, he placed a "Holy Relic" used to anchor the door towards the world—
A bronze Ding the size of a basketball.
The Ding was a traditional three-leg, square-eared shape with taotie patterns but no inscriptions, likely not a sacrificial or burial object, lacking any extraordinary power. Feng Xue speculated it was probably just a historical relic.
However, once the Ding was placed correctly, everything changed. The ritual, essentially symbolizing some Babylon Tower power, unfolded, and Feng Xue felt that all the doors in his room were imbued with a special power, except for a few that were open and unaffected.
"Done!"
