The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 47

At this moment, the system had not yet sent the task to the group, but upon hearing the male ghost’s question, the experienced Cai Wenfeng was the first to nod and say, “Yes, we are the new waiters.”

“Hehehe.”

The male ghost suddenly let out a spine-chilling, strange laugh. Under the dim light, the lumps on his face trembled with each chuckle.

“The young man looks good. Work hard, and if you encounter any troubles, you can come to my room at night. I’ll teach you alone.”

Suddenly, the male ghost slapped Cai Wenfeng on the buttocks.

Cai Wenfeng’s face froze, his handsome face flushing red…

He seemed to have been sexually harassed at work!

In the real world, Cai Wenfeng would have already given this male ghost a pair of silver bracelets and a 15-day all-inclusive stay.

But this was the world of horror, where he was forced to silently endure.

The male ghost was very satisfied with this employee. He pointed to the clothes on the shelf and said, “Put on these uniforms and then come out. You will be the restaurant’s staff for the next few days.”

After saying that, he left, twirling his finger and swaying his hips.

Qing Li’s tightly pursed lips trembled slightly, witnessing the real unspoken rules of the workplace for the first time. She looked at Cai Wenfeng with pity.

“Young man, even boys need to protect themselves when they are out.”

Qing Li patted his shoulder.

Cai Wenfeng gave a wry smile: “Junior, don’t tease me.”

A tall and strong man, teased by an ugly ghost, felt anger but dared not speak out. It was frustrating.

“I’ll help you solve it for 100,000.”

Qing Li rarely showed a warm heart, though still with a fee in mind.

Cai Wenfeng’s tense face relaxed. He had heard of Qing Li’s abilities, so he quickly made the transfer.

“Junior, if you can solve this, I owe you a favor.”

“Taking money to eliminate disasters for others, it’s easy to owe favors but hard to repay debts. So, Mr. Cai, you don’t need to say you owe me a favor,” Qing Li said with a slight smile.

Cai Wenfeng was stunned, then looked at Qing Li with admiration.

This young girl might be greedy for money, but not greedy at heart!

Meanwhile, the system finally released the belated task.

Game Name: Starving Ghost Restaurant.

Danger Level: 5 Stars.

Task: Please work part-time in the restaurant for three days.

Tip 1: This restaurant only serves special guests. If you anger a customer, you might become food on the table.

Tip 2: Encrypted (Unlocks with 100,000 popularity points).

Tip 3: Encrypted (Unlocks with 500,000 popularity points).

The ‘5-star’ difficulty of the mission instantly made the other players’ faces change color.

The mission had just started, and some already felt despair.

Cai Wenfeng was the first to pick up a work uniform from the shelf and put it on. The uniform was covered in bloodstains, looking less like work attire and more like a relic from a victim’s death.

In this cramped break room, there was no distinction between men and women. The other players also picked up clothes and put them on, except for Qing Li, who remained motionless.

“Qing Li, aren’t you going to change your clothes?” Wang Lili, already dressed, commented. The clothes seemed unwashed for a long time, causing her skin to itch uncomfortably.

Qing Li, with a look of disgust, replied, “Too dirty.”

Wang Lili: ‘…’

Everyone found the clothes dirty, but no one dared to defy the ghost’s command…

“You better change, or you might trigger a death condition and be attacked by the ghosts,” she advised, still worried despite knowing Qing Li’s capabilities.

“It’s okay, I will have new clothes soon,” Qing Li said confidently with a smile and was the first to leave the break room.

Chen Fang watched Qing Li’s departing figure and snorted coldly: “Such an act, be careful not to be the first to get yourself killed.”

The waiting male ghost, seeing Qing Li not wearing the uniform, had his ugly face turn sinister. His voice, grating like a crow’s, coldly asked, “Why don’t you wear the uniform?”

“The uniform is so dirty. If I wear it out and customers see me, wouldn’t it question our restaurant’s hygiene? For the sake of the restaurant’s reputation, of course, I cannot wear it,” Qing Li stated matter-of-factly.

The male ghost was taken aback, obviously not expecting such an argument from a human.

?The village girl is right, with such dirty uniforms, one can imagine the kitchen’s hygiene.?

?No need to wonder, I’ve already imagined it – a kitchen filled with severed limbs and maggots crawling everywhere, flies buzzing around.?

?Oh, so the restaurants in the horror world are just like in our real world!?

?The person above, you understand satire.?

“Human, I advise you to obediently change into the uniform and work in the restaurant, or you can choose to be treated as an ingredient and pushed onto the dining table,” the male ghost threatened with a vicious glint in his sunken eyes.

“Perhaps… you could choose to get me a clean uniform instead,” Qing Li suggested, squinting her eyes.

But unlike the male ghost, her demeanor appeared harmless.

“It seems you are courting death.”

The male ghost, unable to contain his anger, his face contorted with rage, raised his withered ghostly claw and lunged at Qing Li. But the next second…

On the floor, ten fingers rolled away.

The ghost’s hand, now missing its fingers, became short and powerless.

“Sorry, I’m a germaphobe. Your dirty hand almost touched me, so I chopped them off. Not too excessive, right?”

Qing Li still wore an innocuous smile, holding the surgical knife Dr. Chu gave her, its blade sharp enough to cut through bone like mud.

The fingerless male ghost, furious, let out a shriek. Black ghostly energy surged from his body, his physique swelling, his withered arms turning into muscular limbs, swinging them violently at Qing Li.

‘Boom—’

In the instant Qing Li evaded, the wall behind her was blasted open.

Qing Li’s mouth curved into a cold smile. She raised her hand, and five yellow talismans floated in the air in front of her.

The moment her fingers formed a seal, the talismans instantly attached themselves to the male ghost.

“Gold.”

Qing Li uttered a word.

Several black chains emerged from the ground, entwining the male ghost.

“Thunder.”

Thick lightning appeared out of nowhere, striking the male ghost fiercely, charring him on the outside and tenderizing him on the inside.

“Fire.”

The fierce fire blazed, and the male ghost let out a wail of despair.

As the male ghost turned to ashes, his screams abruptly stopped. Qing Li spat out another word: “Earth.”

The floor tiles cracked open, and the soil, as if alive, gathered into a mound at the spot where the male ghost had turned to ash.

The final word: “Wood.”

A wooden block fell from above, plunging straight into the mound of earth, resembling a tombstone.

The male ghost thus spectacularly ‘received his lunch box’. [colloquial for meeting his end]

The other players watched, dumbfounded by this display.

“Is this the process Qing Li, the little master, uses to eliminate ghosts?” Cai Wenfeng exclaimed in shock.

Qing Li shook her head and honestly replied, “Normally, one talisman is enough to resolve the situation, but since you spent one hundred thousand popularity points to ask for my help, I would make you feel that your money was wasted if I resolved it too easily. So, I added some unnecessary steps to make you feel it was worth the expense.”

Cai Wenfeng’s mouth twitched: ‘…’

Thank you, you really know how to consider for me.
