I started on a rocking horse and relied on watching ads to dominate the highway survival charts.

Huo Yunzhi clasped her hands in a fist salute but did not bow, and her tone was somewhat sarcastic.

"Mysterious-level ghost messenger greets the Mountain God."

After saying this, Huo Yunzhi looked at the mountain god with a smile.

The mountain spirit on the altar suddenly shut its mouth and hurriedly jumped down from the table. In its haste, it tripped over the incense table, scattering offerings and incense ash all over the floor.

The mountain spirit ignored all that and knelt down in front of Huo Yunzhi with a "plop".

"Lord Ghost Messenger! You've finally arrived!"

It wept so bitterly that its voice trembled, and the paint on its face melted like cream from crying.

Huo Yunzhi took a step back in disgust: "Don't get your clothes on me! They're new."

The mountain spirit waved his hands repeatedly, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! Your Excellency, the Ghost Messenger, your esteemed presence is an honor to welcome you. Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

The two vengeful ghosts who brought Huo Yunzhi in were now dumbfounded.

She was just leading a random player into the service area, but she suddenly transformed into a ghost messenger!

What a development!

Oh, they even asked the ghost messenger for survival coins!

Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

The two vengeful ghosts, finally realizing what was happening, quickly knelt down and wept bitterly, mimicking the actions of the mountain god.

"Lord Ghost Messenger! I was blind! I didn't know it was you, Lord Ghost Messenger!"

As the vengeful ghost spoke, it dug out its eyes and placed them aside, indicating that it had truly been blind.

The other one nervously placed the survival coins he had just received on the ground and dislocated his right arm in the process.

"My lord, I was truly blinded by greed! To have you punish me would only sully your hands. Use my arm to strike me; I'm right-handed, and it's stronger!"

Huo Yunzhi looked at the arm and the sign on the ground, then at the two fierce ghosts.

These two... are so innocent it's almost eerie.

She waved her hand: "Put your eyes and arms back on. This temple was already dilapidated, and now it's all bloody and unsightly. Keep the survival coins as a reward. Go down now, I'll call you if I need anything."

The two vengeful ghosts were overjoyed. After picking up the eyeball and the severed arm, they left the temple with profuse thanks.

After they left, Huo Yunzhi turned her gaze to the mountain god and ghost who were still kneeling on the ground.

"You get up too, I have something to ask you."

"My lord, what do you wish to ask? I will answer to the best of my knowledge!"

Huo Yunzhi formed a hand seal, releasing the aura of the Mysterious Ghost Messenger without reservation. The illusory figure behind him grew taller and taller, almost filling the entire hall, and together with Huo Yunzhi, they stared at the earth-colored mountain god and ghost before them.

Just as a boulder was thrown into a stagnant pool, a fierce wind suddenly arose at the silent mountain temple.

The two little devils who had already reached the door to guard it were so frightened that they trembled like leaves.

You must answer my questions truthfully and without concealment!

"yes!"

Why does your service area only have two rules?

"Your Excellency, the Ghost Messenger, you may not know this, but the Mountain God Temple actually has three rules. However, this third rule is an unspoken rule and is naturally not written down."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yunzhi nodded slightly: "Specific details."

"Players' wishes must not contradict the basic rules of the road."

"So, you can't wish to leave the game, nor can you wish to change vehicles, adjust day/night cycles, or adjust the game mode's temperature... What are the consequences of violating this rule?"

"Naturally, it triggers the server's penalty mechanism, which I call retribution."

"I understand." Huo Yunzhi felt that her initial thought before coming was correct: "As long as it doesn't violate highway regulations, other wishes can be fulfilled, right?"

The mountain spirit looked somewhat embarrassed: "Not entirely."

"Hmm?" Huo Yunzhi raised an eyebrow: "So you're using the name of the mountain god to swindle people, aren't you?"

"No, no, no, Lord Ghost Messenger, this is how it is!" The mountain god waved his hands frantically: "Whether the wish is granted or not depends on my personal abilities and the offerings made by the player."

Just like some people try to win the lottery by burning three sticks of incense, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"You mean, an equivalent exchange?"

"That's one way to understand it."

"What would you do if a player's wish exceeded the value of the offering?"

"For example, if someone has a broken arm and I only have 1 survival coin to treat it, that's definitely not enough. But I can't just ignore it, so I can transfer the fracture from the arm to the thigh."

"This is... the Yonghe Temple?"

"But my arm has definitely healed!"

Huo Yunzhi was speechless for a moment after being uttered about the mountain god and ghost.

"For example, if someone were to offer a few compressed biscuits, it would be like adding 10000 kilometers to the mileage, which is naturally not acceptable."

"So what would you do?"

"They threw the people and the vehicle together to a location 10000 kilometers away."

"I'll die..."

"But the mileage has indeed increased."

…………Okay.

What it said made perfect sense, and Huo Yunzhi felt utterly speechless.

"For example..."

"Alright, alright, no more examples. Where is the contaminated area in your service area? Take me there."

Upon hearing this, the mountain god immediately beamed with joy and, with a fawning smile, led Huo Yunzhi to the back hall of the temple: "Alright! This way, sir."

In Huo Yunzhi's view, the mist was already seeping out from the cracks in the door, and it seemed that the entire back hall would fall in a few days.

Huo Yunzhi lifted her foot and exerted a little force, and the entire door was easily kicked open by her.

Unhindered, the fog poured out from behind the door, spreading in all directions, seemingly threatening to engulf the entire service area.

Huo Yunzhi calmly made a hand seal, counting until a thin, thread-like red light shot out from her fingertips, pinning the flowing mist to the ground and walls, rendering it immobile.

After estimating the total amount of pollution behind the door, Huo Yunzhi flicked her sleeves and said, "Disperse!"

The silk threads immediately emitted a dazzling light, sweeping away all the pollution in their path.

A few minutes later, a notification sound rang in her mind.

[The purification process at the Shanshenmiao Service Area is complete; the pollution level is slight, ranking No. 190.]

The fee for this event is 500-700 Survival Coins.

190 is a relatively stable ranking that allows for the collection of parking fees.

As the owner of the service area, the mountain spirit noticed this change immediately.

It excitedly thanked Huo Yunzhi repeatedly, saying, "I will never forget your great kindness, Lord Ghost Messenger! Don't worry, I will raise the money for the purification in just half a month... no, a week!"

"I don't want to generate money."

"what?"

Huo Yunzhi came to this service area not for a few hundred survival coins.

"I want to make a wish."

The mountain spirit was puzzled: "Make a wish?"

"Is that not allowed?"

The mountain gods and ghosts almost forgot that Huo Yunzhi was not only a Xuan-level ghost messenger, but also a player of the road game.

"Of course, Your Excellency, you may make a wish, but... what kind of wish do you wish for?"
