Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 468 Recruiting the Wandering Yakshas
Feng Jin remained silent. The reason he went to Sanfeng Mountain instead of Zhouzhuang Ancient Town was because he was afraid that if people saw him, it would lead to unnecessary speculation.

Now, things have gotten out of hand with Feng Yang exposing his secrets.

Feeling helpless, Feng Jin said nothing.

After all, the underworld will cooperate with the Bureau of Investigation later, so it's fine if they're exposed.

Immediately, Feng Jin stopped smiling and nodded to everyone.

Even without her smile, Feng Jin still possessed a unique aura, an aura that wasn't just the imposing presence of a high-ranking official, but also a kind of indifference.

Bai Yongnian frowned, suppressed his discomfort, nodded to Feng Jin, and then led everyone away.

After they had walked a distance, the group began to speak.

"Is that the director of the National Bureau of Polls? He seems a bit different."

Xu said something.

"Indeed, although I don't know how powerful he is, his gaze is definitely a bit creepy!"

Kong Yi said.

"Alright, the director of the General Administration has little to do with us."

Bai Yongnian interrupted everyone.

"I'll go buy two jars of wine. Let's go to my place and have a chat."

Everyone readily agreed.

But no one expected that just as everyone followed Bai Yongnian to the exchange window and exchanged the wine, the cloth dogs on their waists all started ringing.

Some sharp-eyed people immediately noticed the several tasks that had suddenly appeared on the taskbar!

[Underworld Guidance Quest (Zhouzhuang Ancient Town Location)]

[Underworld Site Renovation Task (Zhouzhuang Ancient Town Site, Sanshan Site)]

[Recruiting Night Demon Patrols for Underworld Locations (Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, Sanshan)]

The appearance of three tasks in a row stunned the group who were preparing to drink.

After exchanging glances, apart from Yun Longtian and a few others, Kong Yi, Xu Lai, Su Yongliang, Bai Lingfeng, and the others pulled the stationmaster Ye Chang toward the central square.

As he walked, he said to Bai Yongnian, "Boss Bai, we'll drink next time. I need to go back to the camp first. Station Chief Ye, hurry up, we need the Yin-Yang sedan chair!"

Seeing that most of the people had suddenly disappeared, Bai Yongnian's eyes twitched as he looked at the two jars of wine in his arms.

Fortunately, he only exchanged for the Yin General level Tusu wine this time, so he didn't feel bad about spending two hundred Yin virtues.

Looking at Yun Longtian, Shen Zhihong, and the others who remained, Bai Yongnian gestured, "Old Shen, Brother Yun, shall we go have a few drinks?"

Shen Zhihong looked at Bai Yongnian with some surprise.

"Aren't you in a hurry? There are three tasks."

Bai Yongnian smiled.

"What's the rush? There are only our people in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town. Kong Yi and the others are in a hurry because there are many teams stationed in Sanshan. If they arrive late, they are afraid that they won't get a turn."

Shen Zhihong smiled too.

"It seems your decision back then was quite correct."

Bai Yongnian smiled but didn't say anything.

An hour later, after finishing his drinks, Shen Zhihong went to stroll around the town with Yun Longtian and the others. In his words, he just wanted to see the houses there.

Even if they don't change their household registration in the future, Bai Yongnian can rent a house here for them. When they get tired of staying in the Sanshan garrison, they can come here to relax.

Bai Yongnian had no objection to this matter.

In fact, Bai Yongnian also had the idea of ​​hoarding a batch of houses, so that he could collect rent as more and more people moved to Zhouzhuang Ancient Town.

However, he didn't know when the other underworld messengers would arrive, so he didn't do it.

After all, the houses in the area are not for sale, only for rent.

If you rent in advance, you have to pay the rent in advance. Bai Yongnian has to rent quite a few properties, so even if he only has 100 yin virtues a month, it will still be a huge expense.

Now that the underworld post station is in place, the underworld residents know how to relocate, and a recruitment mission for underworld officials has just been issued.

Bai Yongnian felt that his underworld real estate business was ready to begin!

……

After Kong Yi and the others returned to their base in Sanshan, they each left to gather their own men.

By this time, almost everyone in the Sanshan garrison knew about the new mission.

As the representative of the scattered people stationed at the Three Mountains, Bai Lingfeng, upon returning, directly consumed one hundred Yin Virtue to have Jiu Ri send a message to all unorganized Yin Messengers via the cloth dog.

Half an hour later, fifteen of the sixteen unorganized underworld messengers from the Three Mountains camp gathered in Bai Lingfeng's courtyard.

"Who else isn't here?"

Bai Lingfeng frowned slightly.

This team of people, though unrestrained, also lacked discipline.

It's impossible to achieve absolute obedience to orders.

However, Bai Lingfeng had already given all the underworld messengers enough time—half an hour—enough for them to do anything, but some still hadn't arrived.

Bai Lingfeng scanned the faces of the people in front of him, and their names appeared in his mind one by one.

Bai Xue, Wang Zhibo, Wang Xiang, Ding Xiuyuan... who else is missing?
"Li Gongyang didn't come."

Ding Xiuyuan, who was leaning against the grape trellis pillar in the yard, suddenly spoke.

Although Ding Xiuyuan is a special agent of the Bureau of Public Opinion Investigation, he has not joined any other team since he entered the Sanshan base.

So after the individual players banded together, he naturally followed suit.

As for Li Gongyang, after bringing Ding Xiuyuan to the Sanshan camp, he returned to the mortal world and started delivering medicine to the families of his classmates to ward off evil spirits.

Aside from being summoned by the Lord of the Underworld, it's unlikely anyone can bring Li Gongyang back.

Bai Lingfeng paused for a moment after hearing Li Gongyang's name.

When Bai Lingfeng and his group were forming the independent group, they happened to meet Li Gongyang, who was stationed at Sanshan. Li Gongyang said "whatever" at the time, and Bai Lingfeng and his group silently included Li Gongyang in the independent group.

After all, having one more person adds to the momentum.

However, Li Gongyang failed to attend several times in a row, which caused some dissatisfaction.

"It seems that Brother Li Gongyang doesn't quite approve of us."

Bai Lingfeng shook his head and said something, but did not say anything else extreme.

"Now, let's talk about this mission."

"You only saw two missions at the Sanshan base, but there are actually three missions: the Zhouzhuang Ancient Town base, which is the base of the Bai and Ji families, and a reception mission."

"You all probably know what a welcoming mission is, but this time it's only available in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town."

Everyone felt a little regretful after hearing this.

Having spent some time in the underworld, these individuals have come to understand how it operates and realize how much protection joining it provides for their lives and the safety of their families.

Unfortunately, after the last mission to guide them, the underworld never opened the passage again, so even if they wanted to bring their relatives and friends in, they were powerless to do so.

Upon hearing that there was a guide mission in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, some people's expressions changed. Bai Lingfeng looked at everyone and continued, "I know some of you want to go to Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, and I won't stop you. After all, going there will fulfill the conditions for the guide mission."

"However, I hope that even if you leave the Sanshan camp, you can still stick together after you arrive at the Zhouzhuang Ancient Town camp."

“We are all from ordinary families. We were just lucky to be brought to the underworld. We can’t compare to those wealthy families, so we can only stick together.”

"Only by having a place in the underworld can we fight for some benefits for our relatives."

At this point, Bai Lingfeng smiled.

"Many people are probably like me. I didn't have a house, a car, or a wife before, so I can't imagine that rich people would give us money, cars, and houses for no reason, just to get to know us."

"And all of this is because we are underworld messengers!"

"But there will be more and more underworld messengers in the future. If we don't move forward, we will only be at the bottom."

"How much benefit do you think a lowly underworld official, someone with no status, can possibly gain?"

“I don’t have much education and my speech is rough, but I still know that this might be the only chance in my life for me to change my social class. For the sake of my descendants, I will continue to be a messenger in the underworld, and I will do it well!”

Everyone felt a mix of emotions upon hearing Bai Lingfeng's sudden words.

Yes, this might be their only chance in their lifetime.

"Brother Feng, tell me, what should we do?"

"Yes, Lao Bai, just tell us what to do, and we'll do it!"

"We believe you!"

Bai Lingfeng looked at everyone and nodded slowly.

"Alright, I won't say any more."

"Regardless of whether you are leaving the Three Mountains camp or not, the more good deeds you accumulate, the better."

"The Sanshan garrison now has two tasks."

"One is the [Underworld Residence Renovation Mission]. Everyone has seen this mission. It requires a group of people to do the work. There is no danger. You can earn 100 Yin Virtue every day, and quite a few people are needed."

"If someone has special talents, such as being a designer or architect, their daily merit points will increase to over 200."

Bai Lingfeng paused for a moment and looked at everyone.

“Previously, we had the Bai family’s station chief inquire with Lord Jiuri, and then we learned something.”

"Only underworld messengers can accept missions, but the people who perform missions are not necessarily underworld messengers."

"What does this mean? It means that we can take on the task and have someone in our family with the relevant skills complete it."

"We can still do our own thing!"

"Most importantly, even if you only provide physical labor, 100 merits is just the basic reward. The more you do, the more you earn! The more you do, the more rewards you will receive."

"Furthermore, even if you take on positions such as designers, you can still continue to contribute your labor and earn those 100 merits, which will be added to the mission rewards!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"So, I can just continue hunting ghosts to accumulate good karma, and let my brother and father do it. The two of them can do more than one person can, right?"

Someone exclaimed excitedly!
"Oh dear, I just sent those relatives away. If I hadn't, wouldn't I have accumulated a lot more good karma!"

Someone sighed!
"Come on, if we don't send it back, once the post station starts charging fees, the cost of the sedan chair alone will make you cry!"

Someone objected.

Seeing that everyone was very enthusiastic, Bai Lingfeng nodded to himself.

With more accumulated good karma, these independent individuals can gather even more merit when faced with similar auctions for post station chief positions, using it to gain more benefits for themselves and others.

Thinking of the stationmaster, Bai Lingfeng felt a pang of envy.

After all, having the title of stationmaster allows one to obtain a lot of hidden information from Lord Jiuri.

Putting everything else aside, just considering this information alone, how much would we have lost if we hadn't known about it?
After everyone had discussed it for a while, Bai Lingfeng continued, "Everyone, please stop for a moment."

Seeing that the sound had stopped, Bai Lingfeng continued, "We don't know how long this transformation mission will last or how many people it will require, and we shouldn't focus all our attention on this one thing."

"I actually have more faith in the second task, which is the [Recruitment of Patrol Yakshas in the Underworld] task."

"This mission only recruits ten people per base, and it requires an assessment, which is a competition. The competition involves hunting ghosts."

"However, this assessment cannot use any protective items. You can only use the equipment provided for the assessment to complete the task. The ten people who hunt the most ghosts and have the highest total Yin Virtue Points within the specified time can become patrolling Yakshas."

Just as we were getting to this point, someone asked, "Brother Feng, did you ask Lord Jiuri about this mission?"

Bai Lingfeng nodded.

"Of course I asked."

"But we didn't get much information from Lord Jiuri. All we know is that the weapons and equipment used in this assessment are the exclusive equipment we will use after we become a Wandering Yaksha."

"It's said that the equipment is very powerful, even surpassing those thirty-six raven feather raincoats!"

Upon hearing "raven feather raincoat," everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked in one direction from the crowd.

In the entire underworld, there were only thirty-six crow feather raincoats. Five of them were taken to Zhouzhuang Ancient Town by Bai Yongnian and his group, while the remaining thirty-one were stationed at the Three Mountains!
Among the lone warriors, only two possessed raven feather raincoats.

Li Gongyang, and Wang Zhibo.

This is why Li Gongyang often skips meetings, and Bai Hongtao has not explicitly stated that he wants to kick Li Gongyang out of the casual team.

After all, that was a raven feather raincoat!
Wang Zhibo, being watched by everyone, didn't have many thoughts in his mind.

After all, he had experienced many such scenes of being stared at because of the raven feather raincoat.

Especially during the period when the Sanshan garrison was overcrowded, whenever he took flight, dozens or even hundreds of people would watch him intently; he had long been used to it.

Wang Xiang, who was standing behind Wang Zhibo, straightened his chest after feeling the gazes of others.

This is his master!

However, he quickly recalled what Bai Lingfeng had just said, and a longing arose in his eyes.

If he could become a wandering Yaksha, wouldn't he and his master Wang Zhibo be able to roam freely in the Three Mountains' territory?

Wang Xiang couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of the compliments he might receive.

Looking at the excited faces of everyone, Bai Lingfeng sighed inwardly.

If they were like this, one can only imagine how the others in the Three Mountains camp were.

With so many people vying for ten spots, he really didn't know how many would actually end up in the independent team.

Fortunately, I can't use my own protective charm this time.

Otherwise, wouldn't the patrolling Yaksha be directly monopolized?

After all, if Kong Yi's team were determined, it wouldn't be impossible for them to assemble multiple Yin-level protective artifacts.

So this is an opportunity; if it succeeds, anything is possible!

If they can secure as many spots as possible, the Sanren team is destined to become a team no less than Kong Yi's in the future, and will also have a place in the underworld!
At that time, one's social status in the mortal world will also improve, and everything will be there.

And he will become a very important figure in the underworld!

Thinking of this, Bai Lingfeng's eyes shone with a light he had never shown before in his life.
