Chapter 59 (1/2)

“Damn, it’s a ghost in the game. Sh*t, it really scared me.”

“Damn, it was you just now?”

Manster•Moonwalker’s ghost said, “You b*stard! You killed me! You even wear my skin! You will pay for this! Curse you! May curses fall upon you!” The Archdruid’s ghost floated in the air and ran through Xiao Yu. It did not deal any damage.

Xiao Yu was slightly confused. In the game, ghosts should be considered as a form of Undead monster. How could it not deal any damage at all? Not only that, it did not even have a health bar! It did not make any sense at all.

Merlin (Astral Mytique Mage) said, “Be gone! Here is no place for a lowly creature like you!” Merlin pointed his staff at the ghost and a beam of green light shot from it and vaporized the ghost. It disappeared into thin air.

After taking out the Archdruid’s ghost, Merlin looked at Xiao Yu smilingly and said, “See? I told you, there’s a ghost around you.”

Xiao Yu was caught between laughter and tears. He had thought what Merlin meant in reality. How could he know that he was referring to the game? Indeed, there was no such thing as ghosts in the real world.

However, spending $100 to get rid of a ghost in the game seemed to be a bad idea. He was also curious about the skill Merlin had casted just now. It was a skill that he had never seen before. Merlin was indeed mysterious.

“Erm… Thanks. Here are 100 Scroll Points. What is a fortune teller doing in a game, anyway?”

Merlin (Astral Mytique Mage) answered, “I used to be a fortune teller, but nowadays, I just stay at home every day and my business is really bad out there on the street. I have to feed my family you see, so I came to the game and provided my services. It turns out that there are many such ghosts in the game, and now, chasing them away is part of my service too.”

“Ghost? He means Undead?”

Xiao Yu asked, “So the fortunes you tell apply to reality too?”

Merlin (Astral Mytique Mage) said, “No, no, no. Those two are completely different.”

Xiao Yu did not buy what he was saying. How could a character in a game have any fortune to tell?

He asked a trick question. “So, what do you use for telling fortunes in game? Physiognomy or horoscopes?”

Merlin (Astral Mytique Mage) answered, “Either way works. Actually, you can tell a lot from a character’s look. Although some look really out of norm, there is a pattern to follow. I did not think about it initially, but slowly figured it out.”

“Also, horoscopes work in the game too, just like in reality. As long as you know how to do it, you can do it anywhere.”

This old guy looked like some professional, with some nonsensical words in his month.

Xiao Yu did not believe a single word he had said. He believed that the ghost he had managed to catch just now was due to some skill, like Inspect or Third Eye. The skill he had used to take out the ghost was probably something like Rest in Peace or Anti-Evil. It was just that he had not seen the skill before. He was pretty sure that the fortune telling was a bluff.

Eric (Flame Warlock) asked, “How much does it cost for you to do a fortune telling session?”

Merlin (Astral Mytique Mage) answered, “70 in reality and 60 in game. If you need both, I’ll give you a discount—just 100 will do.”

Eric (Flame Warlock) said, “Then help me take a look. How will my character be in the future?”
