Chapter 715: Chapter 287 Contractor’s Crafty Moves [10,000 Words]_2
Mu Rufeng surveyed his surroundings and discovered that this floor was just a grand hall.
Strange murals were carved on the walls, and all the windows were sealed shut with wooden boards.
Right in front, there was a massive iron door, flanked by two suits of armor. Each held a great sword in its hands.
Indeed, they were just armors. Mu Rufeng’s Ghost Power could sense that there was nothing inside them.
Mu Rufeng’s gaze was fixed on the fireplace on the wall behind the head of the long table.
This fireplace was even larger than the one in his room.
At that moment, the grand hall was dark, but not quiet, as gusts of wind blew in through the nailed-shut window gaps.
This also rendered the hall exceptionally cold.
Mu Rufeng immediately walked over to the fireplace.
He glanced at it, noting there wasn’t much difference from the one in the room, except that it was larger.
Moreover, it required much more fuel.
"[To light the fireplace, please insert soul banknotes. Every ten thousand yuan can burn for half an hour. Alternatively, you can insert a body, each can burn for half a day.]"
Mu Rufeng immediately took out two million yuan and then threw it right into the fireplace.
The soul banknotes burst into flames instantly, spreading warmth which quickly enveloped the entire hall.
The sound of wind squeezing through the gaps disappeared, and the coldness in the air gradually receded.
The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling lit up too.
The darkness of the grand hall instantly brightened.
It was as if a cold and dark cell had become a bright and warm home.
"[Congratulations to the housekeeper Dorgula Sen, you have successfully lit two fireplaces. Keep going; when all fireplaces are lit, the ancient castle will undergo positive unknown changes.]"
"Lighting the fireplaces, huh." Mu Rufeng glanced at the time. He only had a few minutes left.
Mu Rufeng deployed his Ghost Power, trying to reach the third floor, but he found that the third floor was still shrouded in dark fog, unable to expand.
It seemed specific conditions were needed to unlock the third floor.
"[Attention, three minutes remaining, players participating in the death game will arrive. Please go to the courtyard for reception.]"
Information appeared in Mu Rufeng’s mind.
Upon hearing this, Mu Rufeng hesitated no longer and strode towards the door.
But before he could go and open it, the suits of armor moved.
They extended their hands, grabbed the iron door, and slowly pulled it open.
Well, Mu Rufeng had thought they were merely decorative, but they actually acted as door openers.
The moment the door opened, a gust of cold wind swept in, mixed with some snowflakes.
Fortunately, now that Mu Rufeng’s Constitution was strong and with Xiao Long the Frost Giant Dragon’s frost ability, he was completely immune to the cold.
Mu Rufeng looked outside. There was a decent-sized courtyard. Originally, it should have had green plants, but now it was all covered with snow.
The plants must have also died out.
Wind howled, and snow swirled, beyond the courtyard, all was a white expanse. Further out was a white blizzard, blurring any view.
It was cold, very cold. The temperature outside was at least minus twenty degrees Celsius.
"Such heavy snow," Mu Rufeng remarked, feeling a special sensation arising within him.
As someone from the south, he rarely saw snow even once a year. Even when he did, it was usually just a few flurries that melted as soon as they hit the ground.
It was mostly freezing rain instead.
Therefore, seeing heavy snow always evoked a particular sensation.
Heavy snow was a staple of the north.
However, when Mu Rufeng had gone to the headquarters in the Capital previously, it had only been slightly colder, with no snow.
He had been hoping to go north to see the heavy snow when it got colder, but ironically, he encountered heavy snow here in the Mysterious World instance.
Mu Rufeng thought for a moment, released his Ghost Power, and instantly cleared all the snow accumulated in the courtyard.
After clearing the snow, the withered flowers and trees became visible.
Suddenly, Mu Rufeng thought of something and directly crushed all the withered plants and pulled out and shredded the roots beneath the ground.
Subsequently, he scattered plenty of green grass seeds throughout the courtyard.
He then took out several Level 5 Demon Vine seeds and planted them.
In no time, the once withered and silent courtyard transformed into a vibrant green meadow.
The Demon Vines hid beneath the grass.
This change in the environment made the ancient castle feel different.
Mu Rufeng then took out a lot of soul banknotes, crushed them, and let the Ghost Power within them permeate the soil, which was then absorbed by the green grass and Demon Vines.
"It seems I’m still missing a lamp," Mu Rufeng noted as he looked around the dark courtyard, and promptly took out a lantern from the Item Slot.
"[Eternal Oil Lamp]: This is a lamp that will never extinguish."
"Effect: It can project a safe area of ten meters radius in the wilderness. Using soul banknotes as fuel can increase the projection range, every one hundred yuan extends the radius by one meter, lasting ten minutes, with a maximum range of one kilometer."
"Note: Within the range of the light, it can repel low-level Evil Ghosts and emit an aura that high-level Evil Ghosts find distasteful."
Although this lamp might be more useful in wilderness areas, it was quite good for lighting as well.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng stuffed a million soul banknotes into it.
Suddenly, the lamp illuminated an area with a radius of one kilometer, covering the courtyard and beyond. The light enveloped a kilometer range, banishing the darkness.
