What do you mean I'm a ghost story?

Chapter 59: Blind at the sight of money
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Chen Nuonuo, looking as if she had been entrusted with a critical mission and had no choice but to do so, sprang up from the bed and gave a bizarre, awkward salute.

"The first thing I'll do is pay you back."

Xia Qing took out her phone.

"what?"

Chen Nuonuo was stunned for a moment: "You really want to pay it back?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm transferring it to you, hurry up and accept it."

Xia Qing didn't hesitate and immediately transferred the 20,000 yuan that the buyer Tian Huaji had promised.

Theoretically, this money was already used on Viper and Mirror Demon.

However, the financial loss is only this much money; it's not a fixed amount that will be lost. Anyway, we haven't lost any of that money yet, and it'll be the same whether we deduct Zhang Hai's 300,000 from it later.

Only after the money and goods are settled can the next business deal be discussed.

"Oh, good."

Chen Nuonuo was stunned for a moment before accepting the money, and her gaze towards Xia Qing changed somewhat.

After all, she had already said she didn't want any money, but this person insisted on giving it to her, and it wasn't just a polite gesture; it was delivered immediately after only one day.

His character and integrity are simply impeccable.

It's really inappropriate for him to call someone Lü Bu.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a pang of shame.

“Very good. The second thing is to make one more thing for me.”

Xia Qing smiled when she saw Chen Nuonuo accept the money.

"No problem, I promise to complete the mission!"

The same words, but this time Chen Nuonuo's voice lacked the usual playful tone; she only couldn't help but chuckle at the end: "How was it? Wasn't my halberd very useful? What are we going to do this time?"

"This time I need armor, full-body heavy armor, at least bulletproof, mainly in terms of hardness, impact resistance isn't a concern..."

Xia Qing didn't waste any words and directly stated her needs.

"What about the weight?"

Chen Nuonuo looked very serious, quickly taking notes of the requirements on her phone, and even taking a moment to look up and ask questions.

But thinking of the halberd that Xia Qing had played with like a wooden stick before, she reluctantly took back her words: "Never mind what I said."

"As long as the defense is high enough and it doesn't affect movement, a higher weight isn't a problem."

Xia Qing still answered.

"How about we get a pheasant feather? Or a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown?"

Chen Nuonuo's eyes darted around, and she chuckled as she asked.

"Do you think I can even wear that thing on my head?"

Xia Qing rolled her eyes and pointed to her short hair, emphasizing, "Heavy armor, heavy armor, heavy armor, and the helmet must be fully covered."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Also, it's best not to interfere with horseback riding."

While the Overlord Halberd Technique is equally formidable in foot combat, it is clearly a method primarily suited for mounted combat.

"No problem, any other requirements?"

Chen Nuonuo once again adopted a solemn expression, wrote down the requirements, and then asked.

"Hmm... He has to be handsome."

Xia Qing paused again before finally adding one last request.

Chen Nuonuo was right about something she said last time.

Whether someone is strong or not is a matter of one version, but whether someone is handsome or not is a matter of a lifetime.

People always have some kind of pursuit in this regard.

Not to mention Tai Chi, that showy guy who loves to impress people.

"Hehe, of course! I guarantee you'll look cool!"

Chen Nuonuo also chuckled, looking like she understood.

"How long will it take at the fastest? How much will it cost?" Xia Qing asked.

"If we use my dad's factory equipment... it will take a week, and we'll see about the price then."

Chen Nuonuo guessed.

"Okay, as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

Although Xia Qing wished she could get it immediately, she also knew that making this thing would definitely take time.

In ancient times, this would have been a matter of months or years.

Being able to produce it in a week is entirely due to the convenience of modern industry.

"And then there's the Nightmare Domain. It could fill up all the relevant departments in Star City, covering nearly half the district. Who knows how much chaos it'll cause..."

Leaving Chen Nuonuo's house and walking through the dark neighborhood, Xia Qing looked up at the distant night sky, her mood, which had initially relaxed somewhat, still felt a little heavy.

When the sky falls, a tall man holds it up.

But who knows if the 'tall guy' can handle it.

The fact that the relevant departments in Xingcheng were able to dedicate the vast majority of their resources to this suggests that the situation is probably not optimistic.

In addition, there are pastoral organizations...

He couldn't help but feel a strong urge to escape the city.

Just like how I once stayed away from bewitching nightmares.

But he understood even more clearly that running away wouldn't solve the problem—only by eliminating all the enemies could it be solved.

Here, at least through Ling Shuang's help, some intelligence can be obtained from the relevant departments, temporarily providing some protection for the parents, or even cooperating, or legally uprooting the pastoral organization.

If she leaves here, Ling Shuang, a low-level person in Xingcheng, will likely be unable to help even if she wants to.

At that time, it will be even more difficult to guard against the people from the pastoral organization coming to find them.

Moreover, ghost stories are a global phenomenon, and the situation in other cities might not necessarily be better than in Xingcheng.

In places where the situation is good, the local authorities are unlikely to pay attention to a folk tale teller like him without any reason.

"In short, let's take down the Shepherds organization first, and then see if we can run away depending on the situation."

Xia Qing was brought back to her senses by the notification sound of her phone. Suppressing her worries, she looked down and opened it.

Zhang Hai: Master, could you please send me your bank card number? I'll transfer the money to your card right away.

It was a WeChat message from Zhang Hai.

Xia Qing didn't stand on ceremony and sent the card number directly.

A short while later, a notification came that 300,000 had been deposited into the account.

It's exactly 300,000 yuan; it seems Zhang Hai didn't include the previously promised cash amount.

However, it doesn't really matter; you just need to have money when you need it, but you don't necessarily need those specific things to suffer financial losses later.

He didn't take the cash, so Zhang Hai won't suffer any additional losses.

"Your [Money Dart Technique], upon seeing the enormous sum in your bank account, was overwhelmed with emotion and entered a state of sudden enlightenment..."

"The money is here, use it as you see fit. Find the Shepherds' stronghold and leader."

This time, Xia Qing didn't even rush to see the results of his enlightenment on the Money Dart Technique, nor did he ask for approval; he simply gave the instructions calmly.

"Golden Dart Technique: No problem, boss, mission accomplished!"

Money Dart Technique responded almost immediately.

To deal with the Pastors organization, the key is to obtain intelligence and find out their hiding and gathering locations, as well as their identities.

We can't count on Ling Shuang for these things. If she could find them, she would have already uprooted them.

However, the Money Dart Technique is also adept at gathering intelligence.

Since we were able to find out about the Nightmare Artifact last time without any prior knowledge, finding someone should be even less of a problem.

"...Your [Money Dart Technique] has successfully achieved a divine enlightenment: greed for money."

"Your supernatural abilities... are all so abstract."

Even Xia Qing, who was burdened with a heavy heart, couldn't help but lose his composure when he saw the name of this new supernatural power.
