Yin City Ghost Tree Pedestrian Street, Gu Xi, who rested overnight at Tang Shuang’s home, was accompanying Tang Shuang to shop on the street.

For Gu Xi, this night’s rest was quite good, and Tang Shuang, who had faced multiple challenges, also felt she had no issues, brimming with energy while shopping.

Only Tang Shuang’s contracted undead, Tang Xiaoxiao, was directly missing this morning, who knows where she’d gone to rest and recover.

"Oh, other people’s contracted undead."

Gu Xi couldn’t help but sigh as he walked down the pedestrian street.

"What are you talking about?"

Tang Shuang glanced at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi looked around the nearby shops and said casually, "I was saying, other people’s contracted undead can open shops and do business to make money. Unlike me, with insufficient contracted undead, I have to personally handle many things."

"That’s true, Yin City gathers a large number of undead mages, so normal undead mage businesses are hard to run here.

Many people can only find ordinary jobs here.

Some players even rely on their contracted undead to earn money to support the family."

Upon hearing Gu Xi’s words, Tang Shuang nodded. If she hadn’t graduated yet, she might be just another undead mage wasting time here.

The main reason for this is the excessive number of undead mages in Yin City and even the Netherworld.

Plus, many jobs can be done by the undead.

Job positions are relatively scarce.

Also because there are too many undead mages, most game entrances require queuing.

Ordinary undead mage players can only enter the game once every six months.

Although these games are quite suitable for the development of undead mages, each time queuing up leaves people frustrated.

Only those top students in schools are guaranteed to enter the game four times a year.

As for leaving the Netherworld and heading to other star realms.

Players would never do that.

After reaching the world most suitable for undead players, who wants to go back and try their luck in ordinary game worlds for any undead opportunities?

No one would be willing to do such a thing.

Finding a way to survive in the Netherworld has become the players’ first choice.

And living in Yin City, even more so.

After all, the consumption level in Yin City is relatively high, and if you want a better life here, you either hustle with the undead or need more money.

In this aspect, Gu Xi is at an advantage compared to others.

After all, he controls Death City, which is equivalent to having his own resource point.

So there’s less need to worry about funds.

But Tang Shuang, on the other hand, is currently in a phase of exhausting resources.

She has planned for the future; once she graduates this time, she intends to see if she can secure a teaching assistant position at Netherworld University.

If not, she will try to get a teacher’s position in schools near Yin City.

This way she can settle in Yin City.

She is already at the final step.

Adding to that, since she knows Gu Xi, she decided to take him to the rarely visited Ghost Tree Pedestrian Street.

This Ghost Tree Pedestrian Street is considered a medium-consumption spot near Yin City.

On both sides of the pedestrian street are various shops mainly selling undead equipment and undead materials.

Many players come to check it out when they have free time, selecting suitable equipment for their undead.

The name of the pedestrian street comes from a huge Ghost Tree at its center.

Tang Shuang hadn’t visited Ghost Tree Pedestrian Street for a long time, and now she was as happy as a little butterfly flitting through a garden, going from one shop to another.

Gu Xi followed behind, getting familiar with the environment of Yin City.

He already planned to either rent or buy an apartment in Yin City as a fixed location for himself.

He even wanted to place a Furnace Stone here.

For fear of having to travel from Qianfang City each time he returns from participating in Creation.

Thus, Gu Xi needed to quickly become familiar with everything in Yin City.

He couldn’t come over every time and not know how to handle things, ending up needing Tang Shuang’s help.

Coming out to shop with Tang Shuang also had this meaning.

By shopping, Gu Xi could gradually understand the lifestyles of players in Yin City.

And Tang Shuang knew Gu Xi was a newcomer to Yin City, so she would explain certain things.

For Gu Xi, many details lay in these small explanations.

Just like now.

"Junior Brother Gu, come, this is the Ghost Tree of the pedestrian street. After buying things for their undead, people would often throw broken equipment and weapons here.

The Ghost Tree grows by absorbing the undead aura from these weapons and equipment."

As Tang Shuang introduced it, Gu Xi also observed the Ghost Tree in front of him.

The Ghost Tree is actually a variant of a banyan tree, about 60 meters tall, but its coverage area is quite a plaza.

Hidden within the leaves are numerous white phantoms.

A breeze would make it seem as if countless ghosts were hiding amongst the leaves.

This is why it’s called the Ghost Tree.

Beneath the Ghost Tree lies piles of worn-out armor, broken longswords, or long spears casually stacked, some even drive stake-less arrows into the ground, or oily iron sticks.

These things look like casually discarded trash, but Gu Xi felt something was off.

At that moment, Tang Shuang casually dropped a piece of recently changed equipment beneath the Ghost Tree.

Gu Xi noticed that although Tang Shuang threw it down casually.

Yet, as the equipment hit the ground, it automatically categorized itself into an area.

Tang Shuang might find this normal, but to Gu Xi, it was significant.

With city control, Gu Xi knew what the situation before him represented.

This Ghost Tree, which is somewhat similar to the Fountain of Victory in front of the Alidov Assembly Hall, belonged to the city’s architecture range.

Moreover, the Ghost Tree before him is at least Level 15 and above, far surpassing the level of the Fountain of Victory in Gu Xi’s possession.

It seems this reflects some arrangements Yin City has regarding the city.

There is definitely one or two powerful figures controlling Death City behind Yin City.

Though Gu Xi’s heart stirred, his steps didn’t stop, and Tang Shuang pulled him to the next shop.

"Junior Brother Gu, come quickly, this place specializes in selling black robes.

You have to have your own black robe for studies here, can’t wear the same outfit every day.

Even though some use illusion-like effects to hide their profession, achieving your level is rare.

Now that you’re in Yin City, and soon heading to Netherworld University, you don’t have to hide yourself anymore.

You need to let everyone know, you’re a genius student, the pride of Netherworld University!"
