The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 69 Huh, How Did My Reputation Increase Out of Nowhere?

Late at night.

Su Qi stepped into the room of his dreams.

And the room welcomed a new guest.

That's right.

The second Black Shadow.

It lurked in the darkness, its gaze cold and fixed firmly on Su Qi. This was a nightmare... its own territory! This guy was about to experience true terror!

At that moment.

Another black shadow emerged from the staircase.

It was startled at first, then broke into a sinister cold sneer.

This guy was actually haunted by a bizarre abnormality! This was just perfect! It and its companion would devour this guy completely!

But the next instant.

The black shadow did not pounce on Su Qi as it had anticipated; instead, it lowered its head like a servant, cautiously retrieved tea leaves from the attic, and began to brew tea.

"?"

Black Shadow Number Two didn't understand. Was this some new ploy?

Then.

Black Shadow Number One began to clean the room, meekly heeding Su Qi's call to play chess, silently fixing the flickering light bulb in the living room.

Black Shadow Number Two was flabbergasted. It was a segment of power derived from a 'Pollution' totem, representing terror, abnormality, danger!

But why was its companion now acting like a servant?

And at this time.

It suddenly realized Su Qi was gone.

A figure was standing behind it. Its body stiffened slightly as it struggled to turn around, only to find Su Qi grinning at it.

"The Shadow Army of The Hustlers Sect, finally a new recruit has been added."

It was seized by a hand, the terrifying power stupefying it.

Then it was violently dragged away, letting out a difficult and desperate roar, its claws tearing drag marks on the floor, as if crying out: No!

Black Shadow Number One silently came over, began to repair the floor, cleaning up the debris.

It watched its companion being dragged into the room with an eerie scream, feeling a pang of sympathy.

Then it remembered something.

Oh...

It still had to paint the stairs, the master had asked for a light blue color.

-----------------

The next day.

As soon as Su Qi logged on, he received a message.

[Your Reputation +236]

He was slightly startled.

Then he opened his Reputation System.

[Title: Sect Hierarch of The Hustlers (1241/10000)]

[Current Level: Obscure (Achieving the next level grants title ability)]

[Note 1: Methods of acquiring reputation are related to the spread of your name or title]

[Note 2: Reputation acquisition value starts at 1 for an individual object (memorable) and fluctuates based on personal identity and strength. The higher the identity and power, the greater the fluctuation, with a maximum of no more than 500]

Su Qi was somewhat surprised. In fact, after joining the team instance the day before, he had already seen this Reputation System.

Until he returned to his personal login space, the Reputation Value had been consistently at [1005].

500 of that came from the Traveling Merchant, and the rest were reputation points accumulated from past instances, occasionally seeing slight increases.

"It's just that, why did it suddenly increase by 236 now? I don't seem to have done anything special."

Su Qi was puzzled. This wasn't just about remembering a name; after all, merely remembering a name would add only 1 point for anyone, and even if an ordinary person reached the level of faith, at most they would only add 100.

The fluctuation was so large, the other party's identity seemed far from simple.

Thinking over and over, he still couldn't figure it out.

Su Qi quickly turned it off. This thing worked autonomously and didn't need constant attention.

At that moment, he also received a message from Night Guard.

"Brother Su, there's something important to discuss with you! Accept the invitation quickly, I assure you, you absolutely don't want to miss this!"

[You've been invited to enter the Linjiang Club's Main Hall]

Su Qi's eyelids twitched as he said, "Using the name of the city as the club's name seems a bit lazy."

Nonetheless.

Su Qi clicked to confirm.

After confirmation.

His entire personal login space seemed to hang on a chain, echoing with the grinding sound of machinery operating. Following that, the whole room appeared to move swiftly, as the black fog outside the windows dissipated at high speed.

Five seconds later.

"Boom!"

The house finally stopped shaking.

Su Qi looked out the windows, the horrendous black fog was gone, and instead, a pale yellow light shone through the frosted glass.

[The door can now be opened]

He pushed open the door.

What met his eyes was a brightly lit grand hall, with doors to various rooms along the sides and a large conference table in the middle.

Night Guard, seeing Su Qi, brightened up and greeted him, "Brother Su, come over here and sit."

Su Qi paused for a moment, then walked over, "I'm surprised you actually went all out to establish the club."

"Naturally, the club is a challenge for ordinary people, but for Xu Linqiu and the others, it's a walk in the park. But that's not the important part..." Night Guard nudged Su Qi and whispered mysteriously, "Actually, I've got ties to the Investigation Bureau, too."

Su Qi said, "Stop nudging me or I'm going to lie down... And anyway, is this worth whispering about?"

Night Guard: "..."

He had hoped to see a look of surprise on Su Qi's face but found that Su Qi seemed to already know.

Night Guard seriously said, "....Brother Su, do you still remember that a few days ago, Brother Xu and Uncle Liu came to see you, right? Back then they said... if you managed to pass their review, they would unveil the mysteries of 'Abyssal Paradise'."

"Well, seems like there was such an incident." Su Qi thought for a moment, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I'd almost have forgotten."

"Isn't this a very important matter!"

Meanwhile.

A door opened, and the figure of Xu Linqiu slowly emerged. His ID was [Lin Qiu], with nothing else besides the name.

However.

Su Qi still saw a [question mark] on Xu Linqiu, an attribute from his character panel.

[Physical Strength: 61381]

?????

It was incredibly high. By level, it must be at least a few hundred or possibly... through some other means?

The next moment.

The question mark changed.

[Profession: Darkstrider]

Su Qi's gaze flickered slightly, but then no further information was forthcoming. The only thing of value was...

[Just killed an A-level Pollution Abnormality]

Night Guard called out, his voice a tad low, "Brother Xu, I've brought the person."

Su Qi: "..."

The way you're talking makes it sound like you're planning a bullying session.

"It's been a while, Su Qi... Su." Xu Linqiu revealed a faint smile.

Su Qi replied, "It hasn't been that long. Even though it felt quite long in the instance, it's only been a few days in reality."

Xu Linqiu nodded, "That's true. Do you remember what I once told you... That if you perform outstandingly in 'Abyssal Paradise,' I will disclose to you the secret content about the abnormalities and 'Abyssal Paradise.'"

Su Qi nodded slightly; although he had seen and conjectured quite a bit, he had not yet directly come into contact with the core information.

"And now...."

Xu Linqiu looked at Su Qi earnestly:

"I've come as promised to explain to you the other side of 'Abyssal Paradise.'"
