After practicing walking with the paper figure for a while, Jiang Lin glanced outside the Eighteenth Hall.
"It's already this time."
The work of the patrol team members had taken up a lot of time.
Later, he went to the campus for a while.
By now, some team members had already completed their work.
Jiang Lin put away the paper figure and said, "From now on, you can walk by yourself. There's no rush."
As he saw and felt more things, the paper figure would gradually grow.
When that time came, it would naturally be able to walk.
The paper figure nodded and lay down obediently.
Jiang Lin was a little curious, wondering what his natal paper would eventually grow into.
Almost the moment Jiang Lin put away his natal paper and dissolved the surrounding barrier.
Two team members arrived at the entrance of the Eighteenth Hall.
It turned out to be Nie Jiu and Qin Mu.
Since teaming up with Qin Mu and having the ghost artifact · Thousand Silk Threads as support, Nie Jiu's work efficiency had been increasing.
Today, he had even broken the record by becoming the first ghost in the Eighteenth Team to complete his mission.
"Captain, I'm here!"
Nie Jiu walked in boldly, followed by Qin Mu, who was equally enthusiastic.
As a ghost with a background, Qin Mu had possessed more resources since becoming a ghost than ordinary ghosts.
For ghost artifacts, it was considered good for an ordinary ghost to have one or two.
But Qin Mu always had several ghost artifacts in his pocket when he worked.
Ghost artifacts like the Thousand Silk Threads could be used whenever he wanted.
In addition to ghost artifacts, he had also received more cultivation methods than ordinary ghosts.
Among them were training methods similar to the Southern Hall Arena.
Therefore, when he first became a regular, his strength was much stronger than most ghosts of the same period.
However... training methods like julienning potatoes.
This was also the first time he had heard of it.
Seeing them, Jiang Lin nodded, "Come in."
Inside the Eighteenth Hall, he had already unfolded another space.
It was equipped with many kitchen counters.
On each kitchen counter, there were knives that could be infused with ghost energy, and baskets of vegetables and fruits.
Small ones included potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, and apples.
Slightly larger ones included: cabbage, winter melon, pumpkin, and oranges.
The kitchen counters were separated by a certain distance to ensure that each team member had enough space to operate.
Therefore, when Nie Jiu and Qin Mu entered, they saw only identical kitchen counters at a glance.
It was as if they stretched as far as the eye could see.
Now, such a space was relatively simple and easy for Jiang Lin to construct.
"Captain, can we use all of these?"
Nie Jiu looked at the kitchen counters and asked directly.
Jiang Lin: "Yes, choose a kitchen counter and you can start practicing."
"Then I won't be polite!"
Nie Jiu chuckled.
At a glance, he chose a convenient spot and prepared to start practicing.
With his strength as a Great General, he could release ghost energy without using ghost artifacts.
He then imagined Jiang Lin's previous movements and condensed a ghost energy knife in front of him.
A potato flew out from the vegetable basket beside him.
Swish, swish, swish!
Nie Jiu controlled the ghost energy knife and slashed at it a few times.
He had originally intended to peel it first, just like the captain.
But he lost control and cut it into several large pieces.
Seeing this, Nie Jiu picked it up, looked at it, and analyzed the reason.
"This potato is too weak."
And his ghost energy was too aggressive.
Even if he didn't exert any force, the edge of the ghost energy knife could chop the potato into eight pieces.
"It seems I need to not only control the force but also the amount of ghost energy released..."
Nie Jiu muttered, and took another potato from the vegetable basket.
He continued to practice.
On the other side, Qin Mu did not immediately start training after entering.
Instead, he surveyed the entire space.
Blue sky, white clouds, lush green grass.
And kitchen counters that stretched as far as the eye could see.
This...
"Is this a ghost artifact?" Qin Mu asked uncertainly.
A ghost artifact? A ghost domain? Or something else?
If it were a ghost domain...
But Qin Mu was sure that when they gathered in the Eighteenth Hall this morning, he hadn't felt any spatial fluctuations.
To construct such a place in such a short time... had the captain's strength reached this level?
Or perhaps... this was actually a ghost artifact space?
But Qin Mu looked at the vast space in front of him.
To obtain such a large-capacity ghost artifact with its own interior scenery, what a great undertaking it would be!
Even his family probably rarely saw such a thing.
But looking at the captain's demeanor just now, it seemed insignificant.
It was as if he had casually taken out a small toy.
...
After being shocked for a moment, Qin Mu withdrew his thoughts.
In fact, there was still a way to distinguish whether it was a ghost artifact or a ghost domain.
It would take some time.
But it was unnecessary.
His gaze fell on the kitchen counter in front of him.
"Today, I'm just here to train."
The captain was very powerful, that was beyond doubt.
He had also visited the other three halls not long ago, so it was normal for him to have even more powerful ghost artifacts on him.
Now, he also had to start working hard!
...
"You're here so early?"
"There was a wandering soul at dawn, so I came over to practice first."
As time passed, more and more ghost envoys completed their work and arrived at the Eighteenth Hall.
They greeted each other while choosing kitchen counters.
"Okay, you guys are already here. Didn't you say you'd come later?"
"It's just that you're slow today."
"Hahaha, thinking about the ghost artifacts prepared by the captain, I wanted to come and see them early."
If this were in the past, actively coming to train or something.
Let alone others not believing it, they themselves wouldn't believe it.
Soon, ghosts and envoys stood in front of each kitchen counter.
They looked at the ghost artifact · kitchen knife in front of them, and then at the baskets of vegetables and fruits beside them.
They took a deep breath.
They replayed the captain's demonstration process in their minds.
Peeling, slicing, shredding, and finally plating.
Very good, very simple!
Just making a dish could improve their cultivation, which sounded great!
One by one, the ghost envoys, dressed in their Wuchang robes, confidently took out potatoes/apples/carrots.
Some placed them on the cutting board, while others, like the captain, threw them directly into the air.
With their other hand, they picked up the kitchen knife and infused it with ghost energy.
They began today's training.
Swish, swish, swish—
Swish, swish, swish—
The kitchen knives danced in the air, and various vegetable peels flew everywhere.
Thump!
A piece of apple fell on the head of the ghost envoy next to him.
Thump, thump!
Two large pieces of potato flew onto another ghost envoy's kitchen counter.
Vegetable and fruit peels rained down, and several ghost envoys had their heads covered.
"Hey, why are you throwing things at me?"
"Why did your things fall over here?"
The ghost envoys whose space was invaded by various vegetables and fruits couldn't help but ask.
The ghost envoys who were asked looked confused for a moment.
Then, with awkward smiles or apologies, they said:
"Uh... it flew over by itself."
"Sorry, I'll be careful next time, I'll be careful next time."
The entire scene looked a bit chaotic for a moment.
Jiang Lin stood at the entrance of the space, quietly observing the scene, not intending to intervene or say anything.
Among these more than a hundred team members, many ghosts had never cooked before.
Let alone cooking with ghost energy, even cooking with ordinary kitchen knives, they were clueless.
The current situation was within his expectations.
...
