Demon-Suppression Tower Prison.

The night sky was filled with stars.

Piles of wood fueled a bonfire, sparks flying, with skewers grilling above, their aroma incredibly rich.

"Hmm, finally sent away that summoned god."

Ning Zheng glanced at the bonfire on the mountain, continuing to eat dinner by the bonfire at the foot.

The time window for Elder Zhang's divine summoning must have been exhausted.

After all, possessions tend to be like that, usually one-time affairs.

A Divine Summoning Plaque is still too expensive.

5000 Magic Coins, equivalent to the purchase price of a weapon at the Four Viscera Realm level!

Other people's weapons can be used continuously.

But this Divine Summoning Plaque is one-time use; once used, it's gone—imagine how extravagant that is!

Ning Zheng spent a fortune but almost had an accident; had it not been for their timely remedy to increase compatibility with the summoning remnants, this money would have been a real loss.

Ning Zheng sighed.

This thing truly isn't for regular people.

"Is this dance nice?" Ning Jiaojiao asked at that moment.

"It's alright." Ning Zheng withdrew his consciousness, smiled, and said, "Our days are improving more and more. We can even manage the prison now."

Su Yuniang also leaned in,

"It's not just our home that's improving—every household in our village is better now!"

"Every house, beautiful and harmonious, reunited and joyous!"

She stood up and shouted in front of the entire bonfire:

"We're just a small household of the manor, building this wealthy village family together."

"For the sisters newly arrived here, now that you're living here, you'll be neighbors, be kin, resisting danger together, creating the future together."

Her voice full of sincerity, fervor, filled with beautiful hopes and aspirations for the future:

"Today is our female dance troupe's first performance; guests just came from the mountain, urgently inviting us to debut for the first time."

"And they even gave a considerable appearance fee."

"Here, our three hundred sisters danced, and now each can earn a Magic Coin!"

"Of course, sisters whose dance skills aren't up to standard, don't get discouraged; keep training, and next time you'll be allowed to join the dance!"

The female prisoners below cheered, thrilled.

Evidently, they never had such good days in life, experiencing it for the first time after death.

Magic Coins are currency used by those high-flying cultivators, and it's almost impossible for them as ordinary citizens to earn them.

Today, just one simple dance earns a Magic Coin?

In their worldview, this is astounding.

It must be said, Su Yuniang has a leadership aura, belonging to the kind who can chat standing amidst a crowd and unknowingly attract a group, very charismatic.

"However, it's this kind of talent that makes managing the manor exceptionally simple."

Ning Zheng watched Su Yuniang beam, shaking his head.

This group of blacksmith ghosts is very different from the native ghosts.

These ghosts believe they're not dead, just playing a game in the Otherworld... it's quite amusing.

Of course.

Only Dizzy is special.

Because when he died, he hadn't been in the game long, so when Dizzy died, his cognitive level was very low; he didn't even know the concept of Embers.

He believed he had crossed over.

While the blacksmith ghosts born later believed they were still playing a game.

It's only their different personalities, ways of dying, and hence ghost recognition varies.

Ning Zheng saw them so happy, thinking to himself:

"Our village at the foot really will keep expanding."

"Because the blacksmiths on the mountain will keep drawing cards, adding a large population, further enriching the facilities below, continually expanding, maybe even becoming a Ghost Country."

"And Sword Casting Manor will become the core, the true palace."

"Hopefully, that day will come."

He smiled watching the bonfire burning in the winter night.

Everyone has to have a dream, right?

After dinner, Ning Zheng returned home, sitting cross-legged, leisurely opened the forum.

Now the online forum was bustling, boiling with activity.

Everyone was condemning that group of beasts, saying they were too despicable for scamming elder like Elder Zhang.

"Crying crying crying, Elder Zhang, passed away with resentment."

"Can't you have some morals? The guy was so good to you."

"I can't bear the guilt, I'm crashing my head into a big wall."

"Shao Chaikun, he actually succeeded in scamming this time, am I dreaming?"

"I think there's no issue; after the ancestors died, we only got exposed, already given them a good send-off."

Too many are complaining; this time, the players' performance was utterly shocking.

Even releasing a few expression packs of Shao Chaikun in women's clothing, with various provocative actions, condemning this little blacksmith who's taken to dramatics.

Ning Zheng merely glanced at their madness on the screen, then disregarded it; they always liked being startled.

In their worldview, they still advocated for etiquette and morality, thinking one shouldn't deceive people, but Ning Zheng thought, without some benign lies, the other party wouldn't rest in peace, die dissatisfied with the Divine Summoning, losing 5000 Magic Coins.

In Ning Zheng's eyes.

This operation was very apt.

Ning Zheng could understand their thoughts.

It's just he, like the players, didn't anticipate.

The other party had a bit of awareness after death, realized the truth... it's just a lack of experience the first time, died unsatisfied, merely a good intention worsened.

His focus shifted to some useful information.

Nightly Frenzied Cultivation Sixth Body remained stable, frantically screen-peeping from an Observer Perspective, acting as the Analysis Emperor online.

[New Strategy: Guide to Using the Experience Book.]

"Recently the game launched a new feature: the Experience Book, I'm sure everyone has noticed."

"It's essentially a very early setup! When we first invoked the Three Flowers, and ancestors took over, memories were confused; we should've guessed such muddied qi confusion could also have positive effects."

"Now, this positive effect is ancestors possessing and providing experience!"

"Just have to say, the strategy setup is too deep, too genius, too defying the odds; if we analyzed sooner, surely we wouldn't have missed it as hints of the Experience Book."

"I, the strategy maker, would like to self-reflect; henceforth, I shall delve deeper into the strategist's setups, hidden profundities, uncovering the concealed worldviews."

Ning Zheng nodded upon reading this.

This individual particularly satisfied him.

More people like this are needed.

Analyze for the planners, revealing this world's hidden backgrounds, latent worldviews.

Because they help explore and analyze the civilization framework of this world, even someone like him, hidden away in the knowledge-poor deep mountains, can learn more about this world.

After all, the depths here are profound.

Nightly Frenzied Cultivation Sixth Body:

"However, this time the view of the world definitely revealed a new facet, Embers and Muddy Qi, their respective uses."

"Today, Daojiu used a Middle Grade Experience Book, where Elder Zhang's story emerged as a minor highlight, here I'll do a brief analysis."

Screenshots, screenshots, screenshots,

A flurry of screenshots were releases.

All depicted Elder Zhang forging iron, his process of instructing others, and the bonfire party process.

"It's widely known, divine summoning has compatibility, akin to our Earth's traditional customs, Out-of-the-World Immortal, Divine Summoning Technique, Witch, crazed deity hopping, quite similar."

"Only compatible spirit medium carriers make it convenient for divine summoning possession."

"Here it's quite similar, observe the 'god's' friendliness towards you as the carrier; previously those silly blacksmiths nearly messed it up, Elder Zhang seeing them so perverted likely had friendliness down to 0."

"But Elder Zhang's AI was quite smart still, hiding until the end to prepare a last act upon leaving; had Shao Chaikun not performed well, the compatibility might have crumbled, 5000 Magic Coins down the drain."

"If it all fell apart then, Daojiu might have cried unto death, having earned nothing from that loan."

"Thus, hoping some blacksmiths heed this, don't be so impulsive, you're getting too prosperous lately, too conceited, forgetting the spirit of caution!"

"The game's challenge actually lies in AI design, production team's backing with NPCs pitting against us, calculating us, increasing difficulty, referencing prior Shi Youyou aggressively stealing learnings, truly shameless."

"And post-Daojiu incident, everyone should note that each Experience Book in this game essentially serves as a temporary mini-episode, inviting guests to the manor, undergoing teaching."

"Certainly, the Experience Book's design is quite defying the norms, alternative random guest masters, likely adding many new gameplay features to the manor."

"The specific gains should be seen by tomorrow based on Daojiu's inheritance results."

"Alright, this review ends here, lastly pinpointing Shao Chaikun, really too provocative; daring to swap mastered Second Body with Sixth Body? Supplanting my Nightly Frenzied Cultivation Sixth Body's status?"

"I advise you, Shao Chaikun, with two and a half years of firewood experience, to behave, self-reflect, (•́へ•́╬)"

...

The review wraps here.
