After Waking Up, I Inherited a Bookstore 120

Chapter 120: Assessment Successful

Liu Chuxia raised her spirits to the fullest. This place was even darker than the path just now, and the temperature was even lower.

The gloomy and cold aura drilled into her bones. Liu Chuxia quickly zipped up her clothes and put on a pair of fingerless gloves.

Suddenly, a white figure flashed before Liu Chuxia’s eyes.

Liu Chuxia quickly raised her sword and rushed forward. She was extremely fast. In an instant, she had run behind the white figure and stabbed at the disappearing white shadow.

Instantly, a shrill scream echoed through the empty space.

The white ghost shadow seemed to have lost its strength and lay prostrate on the ground.

Liu Chuxia cautiously walked over, kicked it, and finding no reaction, said to the ghost, “Give me the thing on you.”

The monster on the ground, with a mournful face, gave a coin to Liu Chuxia and then disappeared.

The coin was entirely silver, round, with no pattern on it. It was slightly thicker and a size larger than a coin. Red runes were drawn on its edge.

This was what Li Hanyan had told her before. Each of these ghosts and monsters had a coin on them, and the Liu family would have a ranking. The more coins one got during the assessment, the higher their rank on the leaderboard would be.

Whoever could stay in first place for a week would get a month’s vacation.

Liu Chuxia really wanted this vacation, so she wasn’t afraid of the ghosts and monsters coming. She was afraid that they wouldn’t.

At the same time, in this trial ground, talismans were limited. Only three offensive talismans could be used, and only five support talismans.

As for Liu Chuxia, she was a bit special. After all, she had brought out the other characteristic of the tracking talisman. She could completely use the tracking talisman as an offensive talisman. This way, she had one more life-saving means.

The thought of it made Liu Chuxia a little excited. Her fighting spirit was now completely ignited.

After the white ghost shadow came out, it was quiet for a while. Liu Chuxia was almost about to use a tracking talisman to find a ghost.

But just as Liu Chuxia was about to take out the tracking talisman, four dismembered ghosts and monsters suddenly appeared in front of her, all attacking her.

Liu Chuxia tapped her toes and flew over their heads, then landed behind them. Before these four ghosts and monsters could react, Liu Chuxia had already knocked them all down with a single sword move.

Having gotten another four coins, Liu Chuxia happily put them in her crossbody bag. Before she could be happy for long, at least ten ghosts and monsters appeared around her at the same time.

Liu Chuxia reacted quickly and bent down, then, with her body bowed, she shuttled through the gaps between the ghosts and monsters. At the same time, she had already raised her sword and swung it at the ghosts and monsters.

The ghost looked at the empty space in the middle, still wondering where the person from just now had gone. But when it turned its head, it found that its companions had all fallen one by one.

Then it found that the human was looking at it with a wicked smile.

In just over a minute, all ten ghosts had been knocked down by Liu Chuxia.

After that, it was not Liu Chuxia being chased by the ghosts, but the ghosts being chased by Liu Chuxia. No matter how they begged for mercy, it was useless. Even if they were willing to give her the coins directly, Liu Chuxia would not accept it and just swung her sword at them.

Outside, Elder Liang was so shocked he was speechless. It was the first time he had seen such a situation. Even the young Xiaochu in the past had not been like this.

“This…” Elder Liang was at a loss for words when he saw the green ball of light on the display screen suddenly explode when it landed on a ghost. He was too shocked.

“Elder Liang, I told you that having A Xia be the family head is the most suitable. Her strength is the strongest, and her learning ability is also strong. In the future, the Liu family will definitely create a new glory in A Xia’s hands.”

Elder Liang only came back to his senses when he heard Li Hanyan’s voice. His eyes were smiling so much they were just a slit.

“Hahahaha, good! Good! Our Liu family has actually produced such a genius. Heaven is not abandoning our Liu family. Hahahaha.”

An hour passed quickly. The ghosts and monsters all breathed a sigh of relief. How was this assessing a disciple? This was assessing them!

When Liu Chuxia came out of the cave, Elder Liang was looking at her with a grin, a far cry from his calm face just now.

“Hehehe, Xiaoxia, you’ve worked hard. Are you tired? Do you want to go to the monitoring room and sit for a while?”

Liu Chuxia was a little unaccustomed to such an enthusiastic Elder Liang, but she still smiled at him politely and said, “I’m not tired. I want to find Hanyan.”

“Come with me. Xiaoyan is in the monitoring room. She’s busy helping you with the aftermath right now,” Elder Liang said. The more he looked, the more he felt that Liu Chuxia was the future family head of the Liu family, and the more he liked her.

“This is something I’m giving you privately. Take it,” Elder Liang said, stuffing an exquisite long box into Liu Chuxia’s arms.

“Elder Liang, what are you doing? I can’t take this. Hanyan said that only a master can give a disciple a gift. I can’t accept it,” Liu Chuxia said, trying to stuff it back. But how could Elder Liang be so easily touched by her? He flashed to Liu Chuxia’s left.

“Take it. I’m indeed not qualified to be your master, but I can still give you a small gift. Just think of it as an elder caring for a junior. Hahaha.”

Liu Chuxia looked at Elder Liang with some helplessness. She had no choice but to go and find Li Hanyan first.

When she arrived at the monitoring room, Liu Chuxia saw Li Hanyan sitting in her seat, talking into a walkie-talkie.

“Hanyan, what are you busy with?”

Li Hanyan made a shushing gesture, then quickly said into the walkie-talkie, “Bring out all the injured. There are already people waiting outside. A little faster.”

A “good” sound came from the static, and then Li Hanyan put down the walkie-talkie.

“How are you? Are you injured anywhere?”

Liu Chuxia shook her head. “Are you arranging for the injured ghosts and monsters to be treated?”

“Mhm. After all, they’re helping our Liu family assess the disciples. If they’re injured, we must be responsible,” Li Hanyan explained.

“This system is quite humane. But I think it would be better to build a medical station directly outside. That way, we won’t have to notify them after the assessment. We can just carry them out directly.”

“Mas… Mom has also thought about this problem before, but she was afraid that those ghosts and monsters would take the opportunity to cause trouble, so this idea has never been implemented.”

“Can’t we just use a formation?”

“A formation also has an effect on the human body. Even a Spirit Master can’t stay there for a long time. And it’s not good for the family to have too many formations, otherwise it will affect the Liu family’s protective formation,” Li Hanyan explained softly to her.

“Then the medical station doesn’t have to be run by humans. We can recruit ghosts and monsters to work,” Liu Chuxia said with a wicked smile.

“But ghosts and monsters can’t use talismans.”

“I’ll research it with Xiao Xu later and see if we can develop a talisman that ghosts and monsters can use.”

“Your idea is quite unique. If it’s really developed and then released, it will probably cause a huge uproar,” Li Hanyan said with a smile, tapping her small nose.

Liu Chuxia acted spoiled in her embrace for a while, and finally left after nuzzling the side of her neck.

“A healing talisman is not harmful to people anyway. It would be better to let the ghosts and monsters do this. Our disciples can also go and do other tasks.”

“Mhm. But everything has its pros and cons. We still have to be careful. It’s best if the talisman can’t be imitated by others, and the principle can’t be seen.”

“Mhm. We’ll talk about these things later. I want to go and take a shower.”
