I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 959 - 349: Ghost Wealth God, Ghost’s Edition (5k) (Part 3)

Wen Yan grasped the Ghost Wealth God with one hand, his smile slowly fading, and looked at it coldly.

"Just a reminder, I’m not from the Scorching Sun Department.

Don’t talk to me like I’ll follow their rules.

Do you believe that I could kill you now, without needing to write a report, and next month the Scorching Sun Department would even give me a bonus for this?

Evil demon, you still want to deceive me here?

How about you start talking about last year’s arson at the jewelry workshop by the national highway?

Then tell me, what happened with the arson at the Luoyue County Paper Money Workshop?

This is just what I’ve tracked down today, I guess there are definitely more cases besides these two.

There’s still about three hours until dawn.

If I don’t get the answers I want before dawn, I’ll take you to the wall to catch some sun.

If you’re lucky, I’ll suppress you under the tiles at the Evernight City Entrance.

It’s bustling there, with foot traffic of hundreds of millions every year, you’ll surely love it."

The Ghost Wealth God trembled, almost unable to maintain its facial form.

How bitter the hatred, to let it endure over a hundred million stomps a year, not just as a Ghost Wealth God, but it’s not even a true god.

Even a small god couldn’t rise again after such a trampling, better dead than suffering endlessly.

Feng Wei timely added a comment.

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Wen Yan, a distinguished guest of Lord Zhu."

After Feng Wei spoke, he signaled to Tong Si.

Tong Si, with grim eyes, looked at the Ghost Wealth God and chuckled before continuing.

"If you’re not in a hurry, tomorrow morning, a construction team from the Scorching Sun Department will begin work at the Evernight City Entrance.

If you’re really in a hurry, I can kindly relay a message.

Tonight, there will be highly professional Ghosts preparing your place there."

The Ghost Wealth God’s expression changed.

"You’re Wen Yan!?"

Who’s mingling with the Ghosts in Guanzhong County and hasn’t heard of Wen Yan?

Even Lord Zhu wouldn’t dare assemble tens of thousands of Ghosts for no reason.

But with just a mention from Wen Yan, he could immediately gather tens of thousands of Ghosts!

And surprisingly, the Scorching Sun Department is cooperating, even keeping records for many Ghosts afterward.

Some Ghosts, due to their outstanding performance, were even recruited by the Scorching Sun Department.

These are tangible benefits, not something fake.

Because it wasn’t just one or two Ghosts who benefited.

Now, in Guanzhong County’s Ghost circles, the consensus is to mess with anyone but Wen Yan.

Curse at Lord Zhu, he might not mind; at most, the people below might just fight it out.

Mess with Wen Yan, and there are plenty of Ghosts ready to use your head.

The Ghost Wealth God’s expression changed, now believing Wen Yan’s words, growing more anxious the more he believed.

"Boss, it’s a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding, I’ve never harmed anyone!

The jewelry workshop thing really has nothing to do with me.

The Luoyue County incident, also unrelated to me.

I dare to swear in front of the God of Wealth! It really has nothing to do with me!"

"Oh, so you know then?"

"..." The Ghost Wealth God wished he could slap himself hard; he should have claimed he hadn’t heard of anything there at all.

Seeing the Ghost Wealth God still unwilling to talk, Wen Yan pulled out his phone.

"Boss, it’s not necessary..."

"It’s not that I don’t want to talk, I have to follow the rules, a snitch dies a horrible death."

"I can only tell a bit, what I can share, truly.

I heard about the jewelry workshop; it was another guy’s doing.

That guy thinks gamblers and evil ghosts have impure soul bodies, low value.

He believes human souls have higher value, so he lures living people to offer their souls.

Luring one living person to offer a soul equals me eliminating four or five harmful gamblers.

Entice a young person, it could equal seven or eight gamblers.

As for Luoyue County, I heard from other guys a few days ago.

Seems it was a newcomer, unruly, too flamboyant, too reckless.

Who exactly that newcomer is, I truly don’t know.

I’ve always kept to the rules, even paid for my own temple.

I’m different from those others."

Wen Yan furrowed his brow slightly, meaning there was more than one Ghost Wealth God?

And judging by the tone, it had already formed into a scale, into a trend.

Never mind him; even the Scorching Sun Department had no records.

Now Wen Yan truly felt why it was called the Ghost version of the present.

He hadn’t felt much before, except that there were more Ghosts, getting a bit stronger in general, nothing more.

Unexpectedly, they had begun developing into an internal lending system among Ghosts, falsely claiming the name of the God of Wealth, venturing into Ghost belief systems.

"Start by telling me how you became a Ghost Wealth God. Don’t tell me you can’t say, when alive, if you didn’t know the method, how did you pre-build a small temple for yourself."

"Ahem, that I can talk about, got the method in Caiyun County.

When alive, I’d seen Ghosts, so I came with a trial mindset, didn’t expect it to be real.

Build a temple first, Little Wealth God Temple, not too difficult, as long as the locals are settled, there generally won’t be problems.

When dirt was installed in the deity’s statue, place a few personal items inside, after death, the soul body serves as a price and turns into a Ghost Wealth God.

After becoming a Ghost Wealth God, the gathered soul bodies can be traded with others for things to enhance oneself."

Wen Yan listened in silence, half-believing the Ghost Wealth God’s words, at least acknowledging the existence of other Ghost Wealth Gods, based on the hints, should be true.

Wen Yan felt that this was a big deal.

If there was only one lending Ghost Wealth God, it would be a simple case of another kind causing trouble, eliminate it, and be done.

But if there’s organization, rules, internal transactions, an advancement route, and a trend towards forming a financial system within the Ghosts, this isn’t something for one person to handle.

Most importantly, from what this guy said, Ghost soul bodies, human souls, could be considered currency within this system.
