Chapter 99

Although according to the marking on the summoning scroll, this summoning scroll can summon three teammates.

But so far, the only people he can barely trust and consider as backup teammates are Hong Shaoqiang and Ruan Qingdan.

So he would rather waste the last slot and summon only two people.

He had already greeted the two beforehand, so Lin Yifan used the summoning scroll as soon as he took it out.

【Teammate Summoning Scroll (Three People)】 instantly turned into a string of light dots, and then Lin Yifan saw two white pillars of light descending from the sky.

「Swish! 」

「Swish! 」

As the two pillars of light landed, two figures slowly emerged from the light.

On the left was a middle-aged man about 1.7 meters tall, with a sturdy build and an honest face.

However, there was a deep wound on the man's left shoulder; from the scar's appearance, it seemed to have been scratched by some animal's claws.

The blood on the wound had already scabbed, and it looked like he had taken medicine.

However, judging by the man's complexion, his condition was probably not good.

On the other side was a slender girl, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

She was about 1.65 meters tall; although her appearance was somewhat weary, her features were beautiful, her skin fair, making her a pretty lady.

If he were still on Earth Star, such a great beauty would absolutely be out of Lin Yifan's reach.

And while Lin Yifan was observing the two, they were also observing each other.

For a moment, their six eyes met, and no one spoke for a while.

After a while, Lin Yifan, as the host, finally spoke up.

"Hello, I'm Lin Yifan, nice to meet you!"

Hong Shaoqiang and Ruan Qingdan also came to their senses and quickly introduced themselves.

"I am Hong Shaoqiang."

"I am Ruan Qingdan......"

"Enough, enough, I know your names." Lin Yifan waved his hand, cutting off their dry self-introductions, then said:

"I summoned you two today not only to get to know you, but mainly to clear the instance."

"I saw in the chat channel earlier that, up to now, this instance should be the first one to appear in our district."

"That's why no one knows about the instance, including me, so if we clear this instance, everything we face will be unknown, possibly even life-threatening."

"So now I give you two a choice: either stay and team up with me to clear the instance, or leave; if you choose to leave, I'll send you back the way you came."

A gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall.

In the face of danger, choosing to retreat is human nature.

If Hong Shaoqiang and Ruan Qingdan choose to retreat, Lin Yifan would be a bit annoyed in his heart, but he could still understand.

Moreover, he wasn't lying; he originally thought that after summoning teammates, he had to clear the instance or exhaust the instance time before he could leave.

But just now he discovered that a series of prompts had appeared before him.

【Instance Opened: The Sunken Town Underwater】

【Instance Background: Yun Te Di Si was originally an ordinary small town with three hundred residents who lived there in peace and self-sufficiency; suddenly one day, a violent rainstorm fell, floods surged, the entire town was instantly submerged, all residents died in the flood, and although they died, their souls were all trapped in the town, becoming vicious vengeful spirits.】

【Instance Mission: Pacify the Vengeful Spirits (within the limited time, let all vengeful spirits be freed; there are two ways to free them—physical pacification and spiritual pacification; the method is up to you to decide)】

【Mission Rewards: For each spirit pacified, you can obtain one Transformation Chest; pacifying all spirits grants Random Attribute Reward 20 points, 【Blueprint for Water Avoidance Talisman】, 【Water Escape Technique】 (these rewards are only obtainable by the instance opener; the summoned teammates can only receive Random Attribute 15 points, five 【Premium Water Avoidance Talisman】, five 【Premium Water Shield Talisman】).】

【Number of Vengeful Spirits Rescued So Far: 0】

【Instance Time: 5 hours 55 minutes】

【As the Survivor who opened the instance, you must complete the instance task or wait for the instance time to end before leaving; but as for the teammates you summoned, you can choose to let them leave!】

【Special Task Reminder: The flood came without any warning; perhaps it was a natural disaster, perhaps man-made, but one thing is certain—there is another secret behind this flood!】

Lin Yifan gave Hong Shaoqiang and Ruan Qingdan the choice after seeing this series of prompts.

Although it's still unclear how strong the vengeful spirits are, wanting to complete the pacification mission within six hours is definitely not an easy task.

Moreover, since they bear the name of vengeful spirits, they are certainly not easy to deal with!

Of course, Lin Yifan also directly shared with them the reward information they could obtain after completing the task.

Although their rewards are not as good as his as the opener, they are actually quite considerable.

As long as they obtain the rewards, the upcoming 【Heavy Rain Disaster】 will not be able to harm them at all.

So, this is a rather difficult choice.

However, fortunately, neither Hong Shaoqiang nor Ruan Qingdan disappointed Lin Yifan; they exchanged no glances, showed no hesitation, and spoke in unison:

"We'll stay!"

As the words fell, they glanced at each other and both showed delighted smiles!

Lin Yifan also wore a satisfied smile and laughed heartily:

"Good, good, good, as long as you're willing to stay, you're not disappointing me as my first-chosen teammates; you haven't let me down!"

Hong Shaoqiang rubbed his crew-cut head and laughed honestly:

"Actually I had thought about retreating, because I still have a daughter, but in this Ghost World, not striving means you can't survive; constant retreat will eventually lead to a dead end, so after thinking it over, I'm still prepared to give it a fight."

Ruan Qingdan also nodded and said with a bachelor's frankness:

"I think the same way; anyway I can't contact my family, and I'm the only one left in the district. If I can struggle for a future, maybe there's still hope to find my parents; but if I can barely keep myself alive, I probably won't have a chance to look for my parents."

"Now such a good opportunity is before me; if I still don't dare to give it a go, I might as well have found an end, so as not to suffer in this Ghost World."

Indeed, those who can survive the early stage in the Survival Realm are certainly not cowardly turtles that shrink their heads.

The only thing Lin Yifan didn't expect was that Hong Shaoqiang's daughter had also been brought along!

At this moment she stood behind Hong Shaoqiang's buttocks, poking out a little head, blinking her round eyes, curiously looking at him!
