After watching the zombie old man being beaten by Zhang Wei’s fists and kicks for several minutes.
Finally.
Zhang Wei stopped the beating.
[Ding! The zombie is dying, but it still really wants to smoke a Hong Shuang Xi.]
[Host gains System Points +2]
A cold system prompt.
Sounded in his mind.
Zhang Wei squatted down, leaned close to the zombie old man at his feet, and whispered slowly.
“Smoking is bad for your health~”
[Ding! The zombie died with its eyes wide open.]
[Host gains System Points +2]
Unintentionally.
Zhang Wei threw the Hong Shuang Xi in his mouth onto the ground and crushed it.
He picked up his phone and made a note.
[February 28th, sunny turning cloudy. Killed one zombie today, spent one pack of Hong Shuang Xi, 8 yuan.]
...
On the other side.
In the hotel room, Li Junfei and the others stared at the screen, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
After a long while.
Li Junfei sighed.
“As expected, smoking is bad for your health.”
Although the surveillance had no sound, everyone understood the meaning of Zhang Wei’s last sentence.
Yu Xiaoqi also nodded.
But he couldn’t help but add.
“But smoking can deal with zombies. If you don’t smoke, you can buy a pack for self-defense.”
Li Junfei nodded.
“Indeed, if we encounter zombies in the future, we can offer them a cigarette to save our lives.”
Regarding their conversation.
Yu Weihong smiled wryly.
They were young people. If they smoked, they could still quit. But for him, a businessman who had smoked for decades, it was hard to quit.
Suddenly.
Yu Weihong spoke to Yu Weiming beside him.
“Weiming, from now on, we’ll switch to smoking Hong Shuang Xi.”
“Okay, Big Brother.”
...
Construction site.
Outside the shed.
“Brother Wei.”
Li Junfei waved to Zhang Wei, who was standing at the entrance of the shed.
After the zombie was killed, they left the hotel immediately and rushed to the construction site.
Yu Weihong thanked Zhang Wei profusely.
As he spoke.
He took out a bank card from his pocket.
“Just a small token of my appreciation. It’s not much, just 200,000 yuan. I hope you don’t mind accepting it. The password is your phone number.”
“Uncle Yu is too kind.”
Zhang Wei was surprised.
Before ‘starting work’ tonight, he had asked the team leader Lu Lianxue about the going rate.
Generally speaking.
The price for exorcising ghosts was determined by the type of ghost and its strength.
For ordinary ghosts or malevolent ghosts, the price ranged from 10,000 to 100,000 yuan, depending on the ghost’s difficulty and strength.
As for zombies.
They were definitely in the difficult category.
No other reason.
Zombies were as strong as bulls, their bodies were incredibly tough, and bullets couldn’t easily penetrate them. They also had super healing abilities. Even black dog blood and glutinous rice could only repel them, making them very difficult to kill.
Therefore, the price for a zombie was above 80,000 yuan.
Afterward.
Based on Zhang Wei’s description, Lu Lianxue estimated that the zombie in the iron coffin was a malevolent ghost, and the price was 100,000 yuan.
So he had quoted 100,000 yuan.
Now Yu Weihong gave him 200,000 yuan, doubling the price.
“It’s not too much. For you, Zhang Wei, you just helped me kill a zombie casually.”
“But it’s different for me.”
Yu Weihong saw that Zhang Wei was about to refuse and spoke first.
“If I build houses on this piece of land and sell them, the profit will be at least tens of millions.”
“And if the zombie is still here, I can’t build houses. Every day delayed is a significant loss.”
“In my opinion, Zhang Wei, your help this time is definitely worth 200,000 yuan to me.”
“In fact, besides these 200,000 yuan, I was also thinking of giving you a penthouse once this residential area is built.”
Zhang Wei took the bank card.
Then he waved his hand and said.
“Uncle Yu, I’ll accept this money, but the apartment is not necessary.”
“I just killed a zombie. If I also accept an apartment, the fee will spread among my peers, and they’ll say I’m inflating prices.”
“And besides.”
“This matter isn’t over yet.”
“Ah?!”
Yu Weihong and the others were stunned and instinctively moved away from the shed.
“Brother Wei, what do you mean by that? Are there more zombies?” Li Junfei’s eyelids twitched.
He was ready.
As soon as Zhang Wei said there were more zombies, he would turn and run.
Yu Weihong and the others also nervously looked around, leaning towards Zhang Wei.
“You don’t need to be nervous, there are no more zombies.”
Zhang Wei explained.
“It’s true that I killed a zombie, but have you forgotten something?”
“That is, the zombie was not formed by natural accident. Someone deliberately buried it in an iron coffin and artificially raised a zombie.”
“Now that the zombie is dead, if the person behind it finds out, what if they come to seek revenge?”
“Movies often do this, right? After dealing with the subordinate, the superior appears. We got rid of their zombie, and they won’t let it go.”
“After all, raising a zombie is a considerable expense, requiring time and energy.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Weihong’s brow furrowed.
He had been all smiles before, but now his face was filled with worry.
He was so focused on the zombie.
How could he forget this point?
Having been in business for decades and traveling far and wide, how could Yu Weihong not know the terrifying nature of people?
As the saying goes, people fear ghosts, but ghosts know human hearts are venomous.
Ghosts are indeed terrifying.
But in reality, people are even more terrifying.
The person who raised the zombie dared to use such a malicious method as burying it in an iron coffin. They were definitely not a good person. There was no need to use the Golden Water to investigate; it was obvious they were a fierce wolf.
Zhang Wei saw what they were thinking.
“You don’t need to worry. I spoke with the team leader tonight.”
“The team leader has already contacted the Wei Dao Division in the Northeast.”
“This matter has been reported.”
“I believe the Wei Dao Division in the Northeast will send people over soon. They specialize in handling such matters and will catch that corpse raiser.”
In his words.
Zhang Wei did not forget to briefly explain the Wei Dao Division to the Yu Weihong brothers.
“Of course, I will also be in the Northeast for the next two days. I took three days off anyway.”
“I promised the academic committee member that I would help.”
“If the corpse raiser comes, Uncle Yu can notify me.”
Although they knew the Wei Dao Division was powerful.
Receiving Zhang Wei’s promise made the Yu Weihong brothers even more at ease.
...
On the way back.
“By the way, Zhang Wei, cough, um, I have something I want to discuss with you.”
Yu Weihong sat in the car, coughed, and wore an embarrassed expression.
“Do you still have any Hong Shuang Xi left in that pack?”
“Yes.”
“Can I buy that pack of Hong Shuang Xi from you? You name your price.”
Compared to buying Hong Shuang Xi for self-defense.
Yu Weihong wanted the Hong Shuang Xi in Zhang Wei’s hand even more.
Although it was his brother Yu Weiming who bought the Hong Shuang Xi, it was possible that Zhang Wei had drawn talismans on it, which was why it had the ability to deal with zombies. After all, weren’t there often folk legends about Daoist priests making a few strokes in someone’s palm, and then that person’s palm could deal with ghosts?
Zhang Wei understood Yu Weihong’s intention.
But he didn’t expose it.
He took out the Hong Shuang Xi and handed it to Yu Weihong.
“Uncle Yu wants to smoke? Here, I rarely smoke anyway. I only smoke to look cool.”
[Add 1 System Point to Hong Shuang Xi]
This wasn’t Zhang Wei being stingy.
He also needed to save System Points for exorcising ghosts. He couldn’t give all his System Points to others without keeping some for himself.
The reason for adding 1 System Point.
Was because the ghost-brushing system could not only recycle System Points.
But it could also continuously add System Points to items that had already been enhanced with System Points.
In other words.
Once Yu Weihong used the Hong Shuang Xi, he would know. At that time, as long as he was willing, he could add System Points to Yu Weihong, even from a distance.
This way.
First, it wouldn’t expose that he had a system.
Second, it could protect Yu Weihong. It was only 1 System Point, which was better than nothing and wouldn’t cause any damage to his strength.
Thinking of this.
Zhang Wei couldn’t help but be stunned, his eyes flickering.
Items that had been enhanced with System Points could have System Points added to them, regardless of the distance.
Then, if someone else used his enhanced items to deal with ghosts, causing the ghosts to have emotions, would that count as him causing emotions in the ghosts, thereby obtaining System Points?
“I need to find an opportunity to test this.”
Zhang Wei muttered.
Ring ring.
Just as Zhang Wei was thinking about how to test it,
His phone rang.
The caller ID showed – Team Leader Lu Lianxue.
“Oh, team leader, what’s the matter that you’re calling me at one in the morning? Did Yoshihiro Togashi update Hunter x Hunter?”
