These five figures looked very familiar to Gu Yu.
Were they not the ghosts from the depths of the Ghost Mountains? Compared to the Wandering Souls, they were almost the same except that they looked more solid now.
In normal days, it would be a piece of cake for Gu Yu and his team to eliminate dozens of such ghosts. It was also because of this that Gu Yu was stupefied, not able to discern what was actually happening.
Qi Ming was a little confused as he glanced at Gu Yu who was dumbfounded. Even so, he did not query but turned to look at the dark vortex again.
After the Five Ghosts appeared, Qi Ming bit his own tongue and spat out some blood.
The blood floated in the air and split into five portions, each of them then entered the bodies of the Five Ghosts respectively.
The bodies of the Five Ghosts became even more solid as a result. At this time, Qi Ming said while pointing at Gu Yu, “Five Ghosts bring wealth!”
As if the five Wandering Souls had received an order, they rapidly approached Gu Yu and hovered around him. Between them and connecting them together was a transparent lacing.
Qi Ming was pleased as he watched the scene. He extended his arm and waved. The Five Ghosts faded away little by little followed by the slowly disappearing dark vortex.
“It’s done. You may go now. The fate between me and the Gu family has come to an end. We shall be strangers from now on. Even if you wanted to meet me, I will not appear,” Qi Ming appeared to be slightly tired.
Gu Yu felt weird after hearing Qi Ming’s words. He stood up and started searching around the room. While Qi Ming looked at him cluelessly, Gu Yu went through everything in the room before coming back to his original position, “Master, where did you hide your virtual reality projection devices?”
“Virtual reality projection devices?” Qi Ming was taken aback.
“Master, don’t fool me! The Five Ghosts that you just summoned are known as ghosts, right? Do you really think I’ve not played Battle Online before? I could kill dozens of those per day!”
According to Gu Yu, Qi Ming must be a player of Battle Online. He had used the virtual reality projection technology to fool other people. If Gu Yu had not played this game himself, he would surely have believed him already.
Qi Ming was stupefied as well, though he could understand from his words that Gu Yu had seen the Five Ghosts before. He even knew the names of the Five Ghosts.
Looking at Qi Ming who was bewildered, Gu Yu grinned, approached Qi Ming and patted his shoulder, “Which character class do you play, master? I have set up a guild, let’s level up together, shall we?”
“I don’t understand what you’ve just said,” although he was puzzled, Qi Ming calmly shook his head.
“Hey, don’t pretend anymore, it’s just five ghosts. I have even killed the netherworld creatures, steel zombies, and the Fire Demon before. These ghosts are nothing to me, Five Fortune Ghosts? What fortune nonsense is that! I could butcher dozens of them in one day yet they never give me any good stuff!”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
As he heard this, Qi Ming frowned, “You know about the netherworld creatures and steel zombies?”
As the successor of the Ghost Fortune Sect, excluding the Fire Demon, he had seen before the other two ghosts in the illustration handbook of the sect. However, Qi Ming was shocked that Gu Yu, who was just a common person, knew so much about the ghosts.
“Why wouldn’t I know? Have you been to the official web forum of Battle Online? Do you know about the loaded user Invincible_Loneliness who has been collecting soul coins daily? That’s me!” Gu Yu boasted proudly.
“This Battle Online that you mentioned, what is it exactly?” Qi Ming was very curious, he could not understand why the secular world had information about the underworld.
“It’s Battle Online! Stop with your pretense, I was already very clear about it!” Gu Yu’s eyes widened.

“I still don’t understand,” Qi Ming replied honestly.
“Alright, alright. The favor is done. I can go back and report to my father now, you may continue with your act!” looking at Qi Ming who was still pretending, Gu Yu waved his hand in the air and walked out of the wooden hut.
While looking at the white scenery outside, Gu Yu hummed a tune as he walked. As what he had in mind, the master was simply a charlatan. He even guessed that underneath the wooden hut of this master, there had to be space for storing living supplies. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to survive without eating and drinking.
But he did not care about all these. Gu Yu was in a very good mood thinking that he could continue with his game when he reaches home.
……
Even after Gu Yu had left, Qi Ming was still frowning.
At first he thought he would have settled everything and finally able to retreat into the mountains without any attachment to the common world, but after his encounter with Gu Yu, his mood was very disturbed instead.
Qi Ming was not able to comprehend even after giving it much thought. He then took out a satellite phone from his bedside, installed the battery and dialed a number.
After a while, the phone call went through.
“Grandfather, how are you free to call me!” a voice resembling a slightly old man was delivered through the satellite phone.
“Do you know about Battle Online?” Qi Ming thought for a while and asked.
“Battle Online? I’m not sure, please hold, I’ll have someone to look into it.”
After he finished speaking, there was a voice of giving orders to his subordinates on the other side of the line.
About five minutes later, the same voice appeared, “Grandfather, here’s what I’ve found. It is actually a virtual reality game and it is said that the game is extremely real.”
This should be it, Qi Ming thought.
“In these few days, I will leave the mountain to meet you, so please prepare a set of equipment for me by then. I need it,” Qi Ming hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
In the meantime, on the lawn of a certain golf club, a man in his fifties who looked rather old was holding a golf ball. He had a weird look on his face.
After his father was born, his grandfather had followed after an old man in a black robe. It was said that he went to seek immortality. Since then, there was no news about him at all. Just when everyone thought that he had disappeared for good, he appeared suddenly one day.
It was during the time when his father was approaching old age. Yet, his grandfather remained his young looks. It really shocked everyone.
It was also because of his grandfather that he was able to succeed in his career. Only then he knew that his grandfather had already become a legendary monk.
He was not able to track his grandfather at all except a few occasions of his appearances.
He was expecting something important when he received his grandfather’s phone call out of the blue. However, it turned out that the reason his grandfather leaving the mountains was merely to play video games. He was dazed when he heard it.
