Evolving Ghost System: Phantom Universe Expansion Pack - Chapter 45: Slim Down and Golden Seal

Harvard smiled and killed his 1001th Genie Snake.

It took only a few hours, but he felt sort of bad for them. Apparently, if you got on the Genie Snakes good side, there was a small chance it would increase one of your attributes.

‘Ugh, why is this one gold?’ Harvard found a small golden genie snake running in the opposite direction. Harvard had just killed it’s mother, sister, it’s 10 brothers it fought with, and a 100 of its fathers because snakes did weird things to breed. “I guess it’s worth catching.”

[Rare Genie Snake discovered]

[Compatibility with Evolution Cage 100 percent]

[New skill that can be learned, Slim Down]

[Let’s you fit through slightly tight space. You are a ghost afterall, so don’t be too surprised.]

‘Okay, well, now I don’t feel so bad about killing them,’ Harvard activated Ultimate Stealth, Double Stealth, Ultimate Poison Blade, and Smokescreen.

To the bystanders watching Harvard kill snakes because they wanted to watch one of the strongest people in Central Continent fight a snake, it seemed a little bit like overkill.

“Man, shouldn’t he be fighting level 40 monsters? Kind of a waste right. He won’t even get experience!”

“Quiet! It’s about to happen! He’s about to catch a legendary gold genie snake! I heard a single one of those is worth 100,000,000 Lograms!” The girlfriend of the man she was with smacked her boyfriend and pointed him in Harvard’s direction! “Look! It’s about to happen!”

###

Harvard spent 5 hours trying to catch the little gold snake before he finally decided to use a bait trap.

He had so much food from trying to appease Goldy that could also work on the gold snake. After two hours, it finally came over to him and started feasting on some jade fine fish

“Be careful,” Harvard pet it, “You don’t want to choke.”

Mmmm!

The snake looked so satisfied and had tears in its eyes. It seemed to be saying, I love you Harvard! Please don’t kill me.

“And, I’m closing the cage now,” Harvard smiled at the snake before it’s eyes turned completely dark from betrayal! It seemed to be saying! Oh no! Please! Please don’t kill me!”

[System Update: Evolution Cage can only be used once every 3 days. Are you sure you want to learn Slim Down and Golden Seal?]

“And, now I don’t know what to do.” Harvard accidentally pressed yes and the snake got eviscerated and turned into several things before it exploded. “Oh god! I’m so sorry! I-I wanted to let you free!”

[You’ve learned Slim Down and Golden Seal!]

[A minor curse has been placed on you for accidentally killing a Golden Creature!]

[Agility + 5] (lasts for 30 days)

‘How does that make sense!’ Harvard coughed and put away the Evolution Cage in his inventory. “Anyways, time to go visit that damn grave, and get out of here! I’m sure Snowy is missing me right now! Her with all those 15 men that love her! What a shame!”

Snow Lilly had never had such a fun time.

May Tape and Shea had joined her guild and they regularly kept her company. Snow Lilly had one defining feature about her that she kept a secret. She loved women a lot! Like so much that she was afraid to even approach one, and this was even considering woman usually stalked her! She was too afraid to even approach her stalkers!

When she had been a man, she regularly endured getting turned down by countless other women, and only hung out with her older brothers. They got all the girls, and he just got presents from them occasionally and maybe once or twice an accidental kiss because he turned his face.

May Tape and Shea were beautiful, so he definitely enjoyed being a girl around them! They were Harvard’s girlfriends and helped protect her from other girls!

“Thank you for stopping that stalker. Now where is Harvard?” Snow Lilly got a little bit agitated because they had like 10 Guild Quests to complete before qualifying for the Dungeon Competition. “He better be here soon, or I’m going to fudding hit him with these bad girls!”

“You-you are so strange,” May Tape laughed, “Don’t worry! Harvard will be here shortly! In less than five hours!”

###

Harvard was surprised the dearth of Genie Snakes left on the mountain. He’d finally completed his quest.

[Genie Snakes have gone extinct in the area!]

[You have gained 1,000,000 experience!]

[You are still level 42!]

“Took you long enough,” Dasota sighed and knocked on her brother’s grave. “Now, you ready to go wake up my brother?”

“Why would we wake him up?” Harvard thought he came here to stop him from waking up. “I-I don’t want to wake him up now if he’s just going to destroy the world!”

“It’s okay. He’s reasonable,” Dasota held out her hand and blew off the side of the mountain with a large laser she generated from her hands. The grave fell into the water while a coffin fell down onto the water’s bank and broke into wooden pieces. A man’s body rolled out of it that was wrapped like a mummy rolled out of it with chains around his perfectly sealed body breaking on impact.

“You! Do you know what you just did! He-he clearly couldn’t wake up until you did that! Are you secretly trying to destroy the world! Was this a fake quest?”

Fake Quests were just Quests that had alternative purposes because NPCs were embarrassed about what they actually wanted. For example, one time Harvard got a quest to retrieve a stolen purse from a man’s house, and went there and took it. It turned out later that it was just because the NPC she dated was married and she left her purse. She had to buy food for her son, so it was either try and break in herself or get Harvard to do it.

Needless to say, Harvard still had some hope.

[System information: The Monsoon Kraken has been freed]

[It will rain every day until he is returned to the earth, and the water level will slightly rise over the next 20 days and 20 nights.]

[After 20 days, he will have enough water to command to wipe out every single Ghost Adventurer in Central City]

[Stop him at all costs, or you’ll probably not drowned but die by the intense pressure of his waves.]

“Ha! Thanks for giving my mother, loser!” Dasota jumped off the mountain and stuck out her tongue before he body instantly reverted back to its humungous size. “Ha! All that was keeping me from freeing him was the genie snakes! Now go feel guilty! It’s all your fault the world is going to end!”

“Fudge,” Harvard smacked himself in the face. “I Fudding Deserved that.” He smacked himself again, but he still couldn’t believe it.

[New World Quest Received]

[The Monsoon Kraken and the Dragontail Kraken have both been freed because of Hamlord. It was a mistake because of a fake quest, however, it really is all his fault. It is about to rain for 20 days straight,and in 20 days if the Monsoon Kraken isn’t killed, the Central Continent will return to the sea and become the Kraken’s domain.]

[Reward for completing quest: 1,000,000,000 Guild experience (Experience split equally between each guild member, Monsoon’s Kraken Armor (Heirloom), Four Star Noble Title!]

[You have been forced to accept the quest, Hamlord.]

[You have gained 15,000 Notoriety. Everyone besides a few people hate you!]

‘Oh shit. No!” Harvard took a deep breath. “Don’t you dare think I’m letting you leave! It’s 11:59 Am you Monsoon Kraken! I’m about to slaughter you before the Quest even begins!’
