The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 100

Eating someone’s food makes one feel obligated. Remembering her mission, Qing Li, to thank Jin Chen for his warm hospitality, decided to let Jin Chen make the first request.

 

“Do you have anything you need my help with, Manager?” Qing Li asked with a sincere smile.

 

Jin Chen rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, “I need you to disappear from my sight immediately.”

 

Qing Li: “Refused, pick another one.”

 

Jin Chen: (#`?´)

 

Then why did you even ask!

 

After a moment of silence, Jin Chen said, “I need you to compensate me for the cost of repairing the wall.”

 

Qing Li: “Manager, do you need me to disappear at the speed of light or the speed of sound?”

 

Jin Chen: ?(`?´)

 

[Wanting the little village girl to pay money is like asking for her life.]

 

[No life to give, no money either.]

 

[The former restaurant manager suffered a huge loss this time, with the wall destroyed and the meal gone.]

 

[The last encounter with the little village girl was even worse, the restaurant was completely lost.]

 

The live broadcast audience was silent…

 

Is this ghost named Jin Chen essentially an unlucky spirit?

 

“I need you to fix the wall for me, clean the pot from just now, and then disappear from my sight at the speed of light,” Jin Chen said all in one breath.

 

Qing Li was about to refuse all of it…

 

The system’s prompt sounded: “Ding, please, player number 92, accept the first resident’s commission. Failure to accept or complete the commission will be deemed a failure and result in immediate elimination.”

 

Qing Li, biting her cheek with her little tiger teeth: “System, you’re really a dog!”

 

System: “Woof woof woof.”

 

Qing Li: “…”

 

Forced to accept the commission, Qing Li could only reveal a smile uglier than crying: “Okay, I agree.”

 

A flash of surprise crossed Jin Chen’s eyes.

 

She actually agreed!

 

“Is it your brain that’s malfunctioning, or my ears?” Jin Chen was somewhat uncertain.

 

The other party agreed too quickly, making him suspect there was a trick.

 

But seeing Qing Li earnestly carrying the big iron pot to the kitchen, Jin Chen’s anxiety eased slightly.

 

Maybe he was overthinking.

 

This little lunatic isn’t crazy, her brain has actually returned to normal!

 

However, soon after, the grating sound of metal scraping came from the kitchen, nearly piercing Jin Chen’s ears.

 

Rushing into the kitchen, he saw Qing Li seriously scrubbing the pot with a large wire brush, sparks flying everywhere.

 

“You’re using this thing to scrub the pot?” Jin Chen looked at the large wire brush in Qing Li’s hand, dumbstruck.

 

Qing Li tilted her head, puzzled. “Aren’t brushes for scrubbing pots?”

 

That’s how she and her master had always done it in the Taoist temple.

 

It’s just that the pots were replaced quite frequently.

 

“Stop it, don’t scrub the pot anymore, go fix the wall instead!”

 

Jin Chen pressed his forehead, urging Qing Li out of the kitchen.

 

Qing Li looked at the broken bricks in the living room and the large hole in the wall, scratching her head.

 

Unable to find a single intact brick on the ground, she wondered how to repair the wall.

 

Then, Qing Li walked to the corridor, glanced at the intact wall outside, and then back at the large hole in the wall, an idea forming in her mind.

 

“First use a small hammer to chisel the joints, then a big hammer to create holes, this way the bricks shouldn’t crack.”

 

With her mind made up, a small hammer appeared in Qing Li’s hand.

 

She started hammering the intact wall at high speed: “404040404040…”

 

She chiseled a large circle into the cement wall. When it seemed about right, Qing Li switched to a larger hammer and smashed down on the circle.

 

“Bang—”

 

With the first strike, spider-web cracks appeared in the wall.

 

“Bang—”

 

With the second strike, chunks of cement flew, creating another large hole in the wall.

 

As the dust settled, Jin Chen’s despondent face emerged from the hole in the wall, his voice emotionless: “This is the bedroom.”

 

Qing Li blinked innocently, saying, “Manager, your bedroom wall isn’t very sturdy, huh!”

 

The audience in the live stream: ?…?

 

?Little village girl scrubs pot, pot breaks, family ruined.?

 

?Little village girl repairs wall, family shattered, person dead.?

 

?The bigger the hole in the wall, the larger the shadow in the manager’s heart.?

 

?Jin Chen: This home is ultimately shattered, no place for me anymore.?

 

The living room wall is destroyed, and so is the bedroom wall.

 

Jin Chen’s handsome face, covered in red lines, suddenly looked worn and defeated.

 

“I must have owed a huge debt in my past life, that’s why I met you in this life to collect it.”

 

The cold winter wind poured in, his hair in disarray, looking forlorn.

 

“Manager, rest assured, I will definitely repair the wall.”

 

To make up for her mistake and to fulfill Jin Chen’s request, Qing Li’s tone was full of determination.

 

After saying this, she carried a large hammer from house to house, leaving none of the corridor walls untouched.

 

Finally, Qing Li gathered enough bricks, raised her small face, and smiled happily, “Manager, I can help you fix the wall now!”

 

Jin Chen, under Qing Li’s wild antics, had a complex look in his eyes. He moved his lips and said faintly, “You even smashed the load-bearing wall…”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud “crack” resounded, and the unfinished building shook violently, with large cracks appearing on the walls.

 

The ceiling’s cement dust fell rustlingly. Jin Chen suddenly grabbed Qing Li’s wrist and jumped out of the window from the third-floor room.

 

Qing Li had just landed when the building, shaking, developed a huge crack, with large chunks of concrete falling…

 

?Now the unfinished building has become a dangerous one.?

 

?I seriously suspect that the little village girl’s task this time is to demolish houses.?

 

?You were asked to repair the wall, not smash the house. The wall is not fixed, and the entire building has collapsed.?

 

?Our demolition team needs such talent.?

 

?Our renovation company also needs this kind of talent.?

 

Even the audience in the livestream had to admire Qing Li’s destructive power.

 

Jin Chen pursed his lips tightly, looking at the precarious unfinished building. He didn’t know when a familiar small bundle appeared in his hands.

 

He slung the bundle over his shoulder, his movements so skilled they were heart-wrenching.

 

Jin Chen waved goodbye to Qing Li: “Never see you again—”

 

In the night of mixed rain and snow, his figure was lonely and desolate.

 

Once again, the scene was replayed.

 

System: “Ding, resident leaves White Grave Neighborhood, automatically relinquishes resident status, mission cancelled, task invalid.”

 

“See you later, manager~”

 

Qing Li, holding a white handkerchief, tearfully bid farewell to Jin Chen.

 

(???)

 

Jin Chen’s figure disappeared into the darkness…

 

The night was bleak.

 

Homeless, Jin Chen, carrying his belongings, drifted uncertainly in the storm, when he saw a run-down hotel’s neon sign flickering in the dark, catching his eye.

 

Thinking of staying for one night, Jin Chen saw a flyer for a manager position at the hotel’s entrance.

 

His bewildered eyes cleared. Sure enough, his luck changed for the better after parting with the little madwoman.

 

Jin Chen pushed open the hotel’s glass door and strode in.

 

“Hello, I’d like to apply for the position of manager at this hotel…”

 

The ghost at the front desk asked, “What’s your name?”

 

“Jin Chen.”

 

“Congratulations, you’ve passed the interview.”

 

“…”
