Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

"If I gave you 100,000 coins for the dead, but the price was that you had to lick a piece of weirdly excreted poop, would you be willing?"

Lu listened to the crackling sound of firecrackers coming from the toilet stall, lost in thought.

After the work was transferred to Lao Da, he had nothing to do at his workstation, so he got bored and went to the toilet to chat with Wang Chao.

After all, among the few Ghostmasters who entered the dungeon, the others were all busy working at their desks and certainly wouldn't have time to pay attention to him.

Although Wang Chao is a cleaner, at least he doesn't need to use his brain. He can chat while he works, and he's also an acquaintance from the school.

"I don't want to." Wang Chao didn't even ask why there was such a strange question. He just picked up the mop and stared at the toilet stall, ready for anything.

With such a loud noise, cleaning up will definitely be a tough battle later. It's time to hone my skills again.

"What if I gave you 300,000? Would you be willing?" Lu was not willing to give up easily.

Three hundred thousand coins of impermanence are equivalent to three hundred billion in the outside world. Even if they are not converted into ordinary currency, they are an amount that even a master of deception would never have seen before.

Wang Chao shook his head again: "I'm not willing."

"What about 500,000?" Lu was still not giving up.

This time, a hint of hesitation finally appeared in Wang Chao's eyes.

However, he was quickly interrupted by another loud noise from the toilet stall and regained his resolve.

"Still unwilling."

"oh."

Seeing that Lu only nodded but didn't say anything more, Wang Chao cast a glance at him: "Why don't you ask me if I would be willing to give you a million coins?"

"I can't ask." Lu Ye leaned against the door frame, grinning. "Because I really do have it."

"........."

If Wang Chao really agrees, wouldn't he be at a huge loss?

Because the two had fought inside the barrier, Lu knew very well that this guy had an extreme desire to become stronger.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought his top ten team from his academy to ambush and kill this S-level freshman.

"How many A-level bizarre dungeons have you challenged?" Lu Ye asked in the interview.

"The 6th A-level, the 32nd bizarre dungeon." The numbers Wang Chao gave surprised Lu Ye a little.

This is unbelievable. He risked his life to reach the fifth level, A-grade. He's a ruthless person.

Why are you so obsessed with becoming stronger?

Every Ghost Master has a reason to become stronger, whether passively or actively, such as not wanting to die at the hands of the supernatural, pursuing fame and fortune, living a better life, proving themselves, and so on.

Along the way, he had met many talented demon hunters, but Wang Chao seemed to be different. His desire to become stronger was purer, more determined, and more ruthless than anyone else's.

"There's no particular reason, I just need to get stronger." Wang Chao said calmly. "Although I may not be able to become an S-class like you, I can become a double A-class, a triple A-class, or even more."

"and then?"

"Then I will go to the military region battlefield, fight my way through the eighteen layers of ghost realms, and make all the eerie dungeons disappear from this world forever."

Wang Chao fell silent after he finished speaking.

Lu Ye also fell silent.

After a long while, he gave a strange thumbs up.

"So your dream is world peace."

Wang Chao nodded awkwardly, "I guess so, although it was pretty awkward."

At this point in the conversation, both men, who seemed as tough as steel, became slightly uncomfortable. This kind of selfless love for saving the world was not something they wanted to say out loud, as it could easily come across as childish.

"Judging from the sound, you've finished. You can go in now." Lu Ye changed the subject and pointed to the toilet stall that was no longer moving.

Wang Chao silently pulled up his mask, ready for anything.

Squeak.

The toilet door opened.

A greasy, pot-bellied man walked out, pulling up his pants as he passed Wang Chao, and coldly remarked something as he did so.

"Hmph! Chatting during work hours, 100 yuan deducted!"

"Is the person squatting in the toilet your boss?" Lu Ye glanced at the greasy name tag, which read "Cleaning Team Leader".

"Hmm." Wang Chao gripped the mop tightly, looking at the team leader with a hostile gaze. "This is the first time I've had my pay docked."

"Hold on, if you kill him now you'll miss your chance to get the reward. Think about your dream."

Lu Yexian offered some words of comfort and prepared to leave when Wang Chao's voice rang out from behind him.

"The company president is the core boss of this instance. One way to get the top reward is to have as many opportunities as possible to gain her favor. The higher your position in the company, the greater the probability. So be sure to perform well."

Lu Ye glanced back and saw a three-meter-tall slimy shadow wriggling out of the toilet stall, while Wang Chao held a two-foot-long, pitch-black, right-angled machete.

Every time money is deducted, a bizarre attack occurs.

"I know you came to this instance to advance to the fourth realm and then clear the S-rank instance. I secured a spot to enter the S-rank instance, and I'll go with you next time, so consider this information as my payment for the ticket."

A toilet, a flickering light stick, eerie slime, churning sewage, and a steel man carrying a machete.

This scene is visually stunning.

"Your information is quite accurate."

Lu touched his nose and returned to his workstation.

Lao Da was completely absorbed in his work, his fingers almost leaving afterimages on the keyboard, and his face was filled with fervent excitement.

"If cattle and horses had ranks, Lao Da, you would definitely be SSS-rank."

It was lunchtime, but the office was still filled with the clatter of keyboards; no one seemed inclined to take a break.

Lu Ye leisurely went downstairs, ate a good meal, and brought a meal for Lao Da. He put on an ice silk eye mask, reclined his chair, and soon began to snore evenly.

When I woke up, there was a small note from HR on my desk.

[Unauthorized lunch break will result in a 200 yuan fine!]

Lu tore the paper and threw it into the trash can, then went to the stairwell to deal with the strange attack caused by the fine.

Salary balance: 2300.

Perhaps because he was assigned a particularly difficult task, the department manager thought he was doomed, so he didn't come to cricket for the entire afternoon.

After spending the afternoon playing games and slacking off, Lu left the company right on time when it was time to leave work.

My phone vibrated as I got into the sports car.

[Manager]: Xiao Lu, how's the proposal coming along? Submit the first draft tomorrow so I can take a look.

[Lu Ye]: Tomorrow is the weekend, I'm going on a trip, I don't have time.

Lu Ye exited the interface. What plan to submit tomorrow, Saturday, wouldn't affect his taking Hongluan out for a walk to relax?

A while later, the phone vibrated again.

[A fine of 100!]

This time, they didn't even bother to write a reason.

Salary balance: 2200.

........

Back at the hotel, I was treated like royalty for another night.

The next morning, Lu took Hongluan and drove around in their sports car.

Hongluan is inherently eerie, and she seems even more comfortable in this eerie dungeon. However, she has been a bit lazy these past two days, and even when climbing mountains, she needs Lu to lead her.

During his two-day vacation, the company's employees were still working themselves to the bone. The department manager sent several messages during that time, but Lu didn't reply to any of them, resulting in another 400 yuan fine.

While taking Hongluan for a stroll, Lu Ye also took the time to deal with the strange attacks that occurred due to the fine.

"My lord, I've been feeling a bit inconvenienced lately, so I should find another woman who can serve you well."

In the open-air hot spring pool, Hongluan, her body flushed from the steam, nestled beside Lu Ye and said this.

........

The third day, Monday.

As soon as Lu arrived at the company, he was hurriedly dragged into the conference room by the HR girl.

"Why are you so late? President Jiang is waiting in the conference room to report on the plan. Hurry up!"

I walked into the conference room and looked at the woman sitting alone at the top.

Lu was stunned for a moment.

"It really was you."
