I run a Taoist temple in a bizarre world.

Chapter 76 Opening the Teleportation Service

I have read through the Special Affairs Bureau's materials.

Chi Le knew that the location of each person returning home each day, and each time they entered the bizarre world, was pseudo-random.

Each time the day-returning man enters the bizarre world, his location seems to be different from the last time.

In reality, it's just random within a large range.

If we consider this large area as a commercial street...

Therefore, the person returning home during the day will only appear in one of the "shops" on this "commercial street" each time, and will never appear in any "shop" outside this "commercial street".

Even if a certain "shop" is only one meter away from the "commercial street", it will never appear at that "shop".

Unless you actively come to the area outside the "commercial street" before leaving the bizarre world.

In this way, the next time you enter the bizarre world, you will appear in a "new shop" in the "new commercial street" instead of being randomly assigned to the previous "commercial street".

The fact that each daytime returnee randomly appears somewhere in the strange world is causing headaches for the Special Affairs Bureau.

This prevents them from leveraging the organization's greatest strength.

Human wave tactics.

A daytime resident, facing evil spirits and demons of the same level, finds it difficult to cope.

Two, five, or ten together?

The Special Affairs Bureau does possess [mysterious relics] that can allow several people to appear in the same location after entering the mysterious world.

But there are too few people that can be taken along.

Currently, it can only support a maximum of three people appearing in the same location in the Ghost World.

Want to team up to explore this strange and wondrous world? Sorry, the maximum team size is three people.

And now, Chi Le's Qingshan Temple.

[Number of people eligible for shelter: 0/20]

It can accommodate up to 20 people!

This means that a maximum of 20 people can be gathered together at once.

"Unfortunately, the [Mountain Gate] cannot be opened in the real world; it can only be opened in the Ghost World."

"Moreover, the strange world is too vast. Without accurate location information, the [Mountain Gate] cannot be opened at a fixed point."

Before these people entered the strange world, they had already gathered a large group of twenty people.

Alternatively, they could form a team in the real world first, then enter the Ghost World, and finally gather at Qingshan Temple.

Then came the thought of wreaking havoc in the treacherous world.

However, the changes at the mountain gate gave Chi Le a glimpse of a possibility.

The possibility of solo players forming teams in the strange world.

"The ability to quickly gather the scattered Day Returners into one place in this strange world is already abnormal enough."

"Two day-returning people from different places gathered together to attack and kill the demons and evil spirits in the same location."

"Give it a try tonight if you have the chance."

After understanding the two highlighted annotations.

Chi Le's attention turned to another note.

[Note: The new building is under construction.]

Switch to the new panel, and detailed information about the new building will appear.

[Architecture: Shrine]

[Effect: Can be built outside Qingshan Temple, where people can offer incense; the collected incense offerings will be gathered inside Qingshan Temple.]

[Required materials: 50 incense sticks, 30 ghost cores.]

"So, this is an external incense collector?"

After reading the introduction of the new building, the Shrine, Chi Le instantly knew where he wanted to build one.

Cuishui Village.

"The distance between Cuishui Village and Qingshan Temple is neither far nor close."

"But the time spent traveling back and forth means that the people of Cuishui Village will not come to Qingshan Temple to offer incense often."

"Building one in Cuishui Village will result in a considerable amount of incense offerings received daily."

"I have enough [Strange Cores], I'll use this time to accumulate [Incense Offerings]."

"Once the shrine is built, let Chen Cheng and the people of Cuishui Village know that they can burn incense directly at the shrine from now on."

The changes brought about by the advancement of Qingshan Temple.

This far exceeded Chi Le's expectations.

Whether it's the enhanced [Mountain Gate] or the new building [Shrine].

He was very satisfied with all of this.

Looking at the empty main hall, he had only one question.

Why hasn't the temple keeper returned to work yet?

Meanwhile, outside the [mountain gate].

Chen Cheng was on the verge of tears, his face full of grievance.

As requested by the abbot, she returned to Qingshan Temple early this morning.

Unexpectedly, I couldn't even get into the gate of Qingshan Temple!

Does this make sense?

Am I not the temple keeper of Qingshan Temple?

If you can't even get into Qingshan Temple, people will laugh at you!

"Master, open the door, it's me, Chen Cheng..."

Chen Cheng gently patted the door, pleading with Chi Le to open it for the sixth time.

Under the scorching midday sun, Chen Cheng shrank into a dark corner.

The corner with shadows was so small that it couldn't possibly accommodate her whole body.

Only half of Chen Cheng's body was covered by shadow, while the rest of his body was being baked by the sun.

They look even more pitiful.

……

That night.

Chi Le walked towards the dormitory under the cover of night, accompanied by the occasional chatter between Luo Yang, Wu Min, and Chai Siyuan.

Just like Luo Yang said.

The afternoon training session was held in the main building, mainly covering some basic knowledge about the supernatural world.

How to acquire extraordinary abilities?

The monsters you might encounter when you first enter the strange world, and so on.

Chi Le had seen most of these in the materials Huang Wuwen had given him.

A small portion of them were heard from Luo Yang.

During the afternoon's basic theoretical knowledge lectures, Chi Le barely listened to the instructors on stage.

Everyone was listening to Luo Yang's rants and the occasional "I heard...".

The mentor gives large lectures on the stage, while Luo Yang holds small classes below.

During the session, the instructors on stage also explained the categorized ranking system for this training camp.

This meant that everyone in this training camp who stood behind Zhong Shancheng and were grouped with Chai Siyuan was now in the same group.

In addition to curiosity, jealousy, and admiration, the look in their eyes towards Chai Siyuan also contained a few strands of despair.

Damn it, the light from that bronze mirror could be used as a flashbang.

What's the point of playing this game?

Fortunately, unlike the Divine Sense Masters who only receive rewards for ranking first, this time, Martial Body Masters will receive rewards as long as they rank in the top three.

This made those who were assigned to the martial arts team feel a little better.

As for the eight spiritual masters, apart from Chi Le, everyone was eager to compete for the title of number one.

They don't have a rare character like Chai Siyuan on their side.

Why can't I sit in the first place?

Unaware that undercurrents were already brewing within the Divine Sense Master team, Chi Le returned to Qingshan Temple.

"Greetings, Abbot..."

Chen Cheng greeted Chi Le, who was walking out of the main hall, listlessly.

Chi Le opened the mountain gate at noon, intending to let in some fresh air.

Unexpectedly, Chen Cheng popped his head out at that time, and after entering the room, he has been like this ever since.

Could it be that she's unhappy because she wasn't working at Qingshan Temple?

Chi Le highly praised Chen Cheng's determination to work, and then handed over the tasks for tonight to her.

Back in the main hall, Chi Le had a sudden thought.

The [Mountain Gate] begins to operate, randomly appearing in any location within the bizarre world.

Two different images appeared before Chi Le's eyes.

The No. 1 [Mountain Gate] is located on a shallow beach of a certain river.

To its left front, several figures were gradually approaching.

The second [mountain gate] is located in a mountain stream where only bare rocks remain.

Several figures rushed toward the mountain gate.

Behind them was a massive, vaguely serpentine shadow.

"The portal service is now in trial operation."
