Chapter 3: Level Up! Secret Technique: Summoning Spirits!
In the radiance of this golden light, the woman behind Lucas melted away like snow under the blazing sun.
The woman didn't even have time to scream or react.
As the woman's figure vanished, Lucas's field of vision changed.
In the blink of an eye, the previously dim surroundings suddenly became bright, as if the dark clouds of a gloomy day had been torn apart.
The surroundings gradually became colorful, and the light from the shops on the side of the road shone over.
Even the once deserted street now has pedestrians.
The previously silent atmosphere dissipated, giving Lucas the feeling of returning from a virtual world to reality.
[Ding!* Congratulations to the host for completing system binding!]
Hearing the prompt tone, Lucas suddenly remembered the big treasure that had just saved his life.
With a thought, a system interface appeared in front of Lucas.

--------------------
Dismiss the female ghost, gain system.
This time, it was an extreme counterattack!
Lucas had thought that he would say goodbye to tomorrow at that moment.
Who knew that in the next second, not only was the danger resolved, but a big treasure also appeared.
Lucas, who was calm and unflustered, was still unflustered in the midst of such great ups and downs.
A few minutes later, he patted his handsome face and ran home.
Lucas had just graduated and was still in the internship period, so he didn't have much money.
He lived in a shabby community.
After returning to his rented room, Lucas finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wow! Tonight was more thrilling than a roller coaster ride!"
Lucas now looked back on his encounter and was still a little scared.
He almost peed his pants out of fright with his big head.
What about believing in science?
Where did this female ghost come from?
Lucas pondered while taking out the system.
Through the system's self-introduction, Lucas understood the function of his system.
The function of the system is that when he consumes his own vitality, he can obtain the same value of vitality.
Through his own vitality, Lucas can participate in a lottery at the system's lottery center.
Additionally, defeating the female ghost can earn exorcism points.
A certain number of exorcism points can be exchanged for exorcism seals, techniques, experience books, and exorcism treasures.
The corresponding level of the lottery for vitality value is:
---------{System}----------
[100 points of vitality can participate in the primary lottery]!
[1000 points of vitality can participate in the intermediate lottery]!
[9999 points of vitality can participate in the advanced lottery]!
[66666 points of vitality correspond to the special-class lottery]!
The prizes obtained are varied and numerous.
Only you can think of it, and it cannot be drawn.
-------------------
After sweeping his eyes over his pitiful vitality, Lucas's gaze returned to the 'Newcomer Gift Pack'.
[Open the gift pack]!
At the same time as Lucas's thought of the item, the system's prompt sound rang.
---------{System}----------
[Ding!* The host's vitality is booming! Obtained the top-level skill—"Eight Extraordinary Techniques 'True Subdue the Spirit and Command them'"!]
[Congratulations! The host has drawn the spirit tool—True Eye of Reality!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Talisman Gift Box*1!]
-------------------
At the same time, information about these two items appeared in Lucas's mind.
First of all, the 'Subdue the Spirit and Command them' is indeed powerful, even though it is not clear what it is.
After reading the introduction of the technique, Lucas fell silent for a long time.
According to the system's explanation, the 'Subdue the Spirit' can be said to use one's spirit as 'monarch', and subdue the spirit body as 'minister' or 'general'.
It is a super-abnormal ability to forcefully bind the spirit body for one's own use.
In other words, as long as the spirit body you subdue is strong enough, you are invincible!
Suppressing his surging emotions, Lucas clicked to learn the technique.
The next moment, a blue light burst out from the technique text, and poured directly into Lucas's forehead.
A cool feeling suddenly filled Lucas's brain.
At the same time, a lot of unfamiliar knowledge appeared in Lucas's mind.
Red and blue currents were wandering in Lucas's meridians, making him feel numb all over,
A few minutes later, Lucas finally mastered the entire secret of 'Subdue the Spirit and Command them'!
After digesting the information in his brain, Lucas looked at the True Eye of Reality.
[Equipment introduction: Attached to the pupil, it can see through all evil spirits of ancient times]
In other words, with this thing, Lucas can have unobstructed night vision, and can also be immune to illusions.
As for the Talisman Gift Box, it is a consumable item used for exorcism.
According to the system, these talismans can be thrown like grenades.
Ghost creatures below the level of the talisman will be instantly killed.
Like the street ghost that attacked Lucas earlier, it was a level two ghost creature.
Therefore, it was instantly killed by Lucas's level three talisman.
After shaking his head, Lucas fused the True Eye of Reality.
After a moment, a burning sensation came to Lucas's eyes.
It felt like staring directly at the sun under scorching heat.
Upon opening his eyes again, Lucas looked around.
He only found that his slight nearsightedness had improved.
Other than that, there was nothing particularly special.
"It seems that it takes encountering ghosts to truly unleash its effects."
Once again opening his personal interface, Lucas's entire attributes had changed.

--------------------
Looking at his full vitality and the 3/3 that appeared after mastering Subdue the Spirit and Command the General, Lucas fell into contemplation.
Previously, after encountering the female ghost, Lucas's vitality had dropped to only 35 points.
Now, with a level increase, it had returned to full value.
It seems there is a corresponding recovery mechanism in place.
Having learned a new technique, Lucas was itching to try it out.
But without a target for Subdue the Spirit, he couldn't use it out of thin air, so Lucas scratched his head.
"It looks like next time I can find a weaker, harmless female ghost to try out my precious technique." Lucas pondered.
Afterward, he opened his phone.
Just as Lucas unlocked his phone, the first thing he saw was a horror game quietly lying on his phone's desktop.
