I'm a male god in Liyue

Just then, the sound of Miss Zhu coming upstairs could be heard from outside the door.

She stopped at the door, then gently knocked and whispered, "Boss, are you asleep?"

Xia Zhi looked at him with some surprise and said, "Not yet. Is there something you need from me?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you want me to wake you up tomorrow morning?"

"No need. Although it's the first day of business, we still open at nine o'clock in the morning. You don't need to be too stressed. Just keep the same routine as yesterday."

"Oh well."

Zhu Zi responded softly, then returned to her room and locked the door.

Xia Zhi lowered his head, looked at the manuscript paper and thought for a moment, then added a sentence on the first page: The story is purely fictional.

This should be safer.

It was quite late, but Xia Zhi had taken a nap that morning, so she didn't feel sleepy.

He frowned, then suddenly remembered something.

If I keep sitting at my desk instead of going to bed, will she still appear?

To avoid scaring me, she probably won't show herself, right?

They might be hiding inside or behind a wall?

Although his detector could indeed see what was happening next door, he didn't dare to use it recklessly because there was a big shot living next door.

Just like when I came back tonight, I bumped into that person by chance, and even a stolen glance from him made me feel terrified.

This is not good.

He was still thinking of observing her tonight to see if she really thought the same way he did.

Then I'll just have to go to bed early.

Xia Zhi tidied up the manuscript and glanced at the incense burner.

Half of the incense inside has already burned off; the rest should last about two hours.

Xia Zhi got up from the table, returned to bed, pretended to fall asleep, and then started browsing the [Shop].

About ten minutes later, a slender white shadow passed through the wall and entered his room.

As soon as she entered, she smelled the familiar scent of incense, her eyes lit up, and she rushed toward the incense burner on the table.

Xia Zhi lay on the bed, silently watching the unrefined female ghost rub her face against the incense burner with a grin, and felt that the [Ghost-Fixing Talisman] he bought for 2 points was a complete waste.

After all, that's 20 million Mora!

Chapter 52 It's a pity you're not a model worker

The answer is obvious.

This seemingly beautiful female ghost is actually just a glutton.

The scene before him reminded Xia Zhi of travelers who had trekked through the desert for a long time before finally finding a bottle of mineral water.

The ecstasy and satisfaction seemed to overflow from her expression and movements.

In comparison, although Qiqi, who is also a demon, also craves the scent of incense, she doesn't express it as intensely as Qiqi.

Could it be that because zombies still have bodies, their dependence on incense is not as pure as that of ghosts?

Although Qiqi can't taste anything when she eats, she can still manage to eat, such as coconut milk and rainbow juice.

The female ghost in front of us is different; she has no body at all and cannot eat any food cooked by mortals using ordinary methods.

Xia Zhi glanced at the female ghost who was still immersed in the scent of incense.

Ghosts and spirits belong to a different kind of life form.

Their foundation is willpower, and what they need is also willpower.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel a little interested when he thought of this, because in the "Basic Alchemy Materials Compendium" that he had, there were indeed some items that were purely made of willpower.

For example, the "Twilight Mushroom".

This is a black mushroom that grows in dreams. It parasitizes almost every world and is not a particularly rare material. However, it is little known because its living environment is so unique.

For this reason, the quality of the Twilight Mushroom in the [Shop] is only rated as Black Iron, and its price is extremely cheap.

【Twilight Mushroom】

Quality: Black Iron.

Type: Alchemy material.

Features: None.

Effect: Contains a trace of dreamlike power.

Hidden effects: None.

Price: 1 points.

Xia Zhi looked at the black mushroom on the panel, wondering if the female ghost would eat it if he bought it and put it on the table, and whether she liked it.

If you eat it directly, this stuff probably won't taste good, right?

Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then searched the [Shop] again and found a strange item.

The Way of the Underworld Chef

Quality: Gold.

Type: Rule fragment.

Feature: Conversion.

Effect: It can alter the life or death of food, allowing those who starve to die to rest in peace.

Hidden effect: Food deliciousness +10%.

Price: 100 points.

This is a household item, and its effect is simple and straightforward.

If Xia Zhi possesses this item, then Qi Qi will be able to taste the rainbow juice he personally concocts, and of course, the female ghost will also be able to taste it.

Unfortunately, it's of gold quality, and the price of 100 points is too expensive; Xia Zhi simply can't afford it at this stage.

Even if he could afford it, he wouldn't buy it. Instead, he would choose to spend 30 points to buy the [Silver Corpse Bead], as its effect of preserving sanity is the most important thing for Qi Qi.

However, the type of this "rule fragment" is quite interesting.

The person who obtains this item will gain control over a small portion of the power of the rules of life and death, and can help the starving to the other side.

In a sense, this can be considered a minor deity.

If placed in the mythology of his original world, he should also be a Bodhisattva.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of his diamond equipment, [Radiant Wings], one of its effects of which was to automatically master all light-type spells of the fifth tier and below.

In fact, the highest level of light-based spells is only the fifth rank.

The first rank is a mage, the second rank is a mentor, the third rank is a saint, the fourth rank is a demigod, and the fifth rank is already a god.

In this light, he can now be considered a god. It's just a pity that his current mana cap is too low, only enough to cast second-tier spells at most. He still needs to slowly develop and accumulate points to buy enough mana-related items to increase his mana cap.

If things really come to that, he should be able to easily revive the beautiful female ghost in front of him with a single fifth-tier spell, [Resurrection].

Xia Zhi shifted his gaze from the [Shop] panel and glanced at the female ghost over there.

She has toned it down a bit now, no longer rubbing against the incense burner like a fool, and is now flipping through the manuscript he left on the table.

You finally remembered to keep up with the updates!

Look now!

I'm waiting to see your reaction.

Xia Zhi looked at her with great interest.

It has to be said that she has a really great figure, and she's wearing a fitted dress that shows off her curves perfectly. She's slim where she should be, curvy where she should be, and perky where she should be.

Her figure is even more refined than Miss Zhu's.

Suddenly I'm starting to want to see her wearing the cheongsam, uniform, and black stockings from the store; that image must be beautiful.

"Ok?"

She suddenly uttered a low, questioning sound.

She must have seen the scene in the book where the female ghost appeared.

Read on.

Her expression turned somewhat strange.

Look down again.

Her expression grew increasingly embarrassed and annoyed.

The entire soul body also began to turn red.
