Chapter 530: Gadgets (1/2)

It took quite some effort to get rid of these unwanted ghosts, but eventually, the branch leader managed to shoo them away.

After seeing this, Xue Wei decided to wander the city in search of other small gadgets that could be of use to him.

He understood that he should not take out too many treasures from the world of the living, but fortunately, he had gotten quite a bit of spirit liquid, which he could exchange for these small things that he took an interest in.

The things that Xue Wei found interesting were the most basic gadgets in the Ghost Realm. There were small orbs that could lit up the darkness. There were small boxes that could summon wind and rain. It was weapons that could slice through iron as if it was a hot knife through tofu.

The things he was interested in were tools that everyone considered commonplace, and thus their price was very low.

The main reason that Xue Wei was curious about these small things was that they were driven either by spirit liquid or by the heaven and earth essence in the air.

He found it extremely interesting that someone could convert the heaven and earth essence into fuel, while not using any other resources to convert it.

This was the main reason that he was purchasing gadget after gadget. He wished to take them back to the world of the living with him, and understand the secret behind them in an attempt to somehow benefit himself and his friends.

Just as Xue Wei walked out of a store, he noticed that the street, which previously had been bustling with life, was suddenly deserted. Even the stall owners at the side of the road were gone; the common ghosts had long since fled.

The shops were closed, and as soon as Xue Wei stepped out of the store he had been visiting, he found that the shopkeeper's face turned solemn as he hurried inside, barricaded the door, and shut the blinds.

Seeing this extreme behavior, Xue Wei raised an eyebrow in surprise. Something was going on.

”Careful,” Lan's voice sounded in his mind, warning him, and Xue Wei nodded alertly. He, too, understood that something dangerous was about to happen.

He was not entirely sure who was behind these actions, but he guessed that this was aimed at him, as he was the only being present on the road.

If they were directed at him, then the only ones who could be behind them would be the unwanted guests who had shown up at the mansion earlier that day.
