Chapter 85 Ghosts Also Strive

Jiang Lin, after confirming the success of the dream-sending, planned to leave.

The viewers in the live stream were still engaged in heated discussion.

Although the content of the dream-sending was not broadcast due to privacy concerns, the viewers could roughly guess some things from the boy's transformation.

After the boy revealed his face, some familiar viewers recognized him.

"I've seen him before, he's the campus heartthrob from our school. I heard a few days ago that something happened in his family, and his father sacrificed himself to protect his son."

"Alas, that must have been his father who sent the dream just now. It's good that he can move on."

"The deceased are gone, and the living must live well. Life is not easy, and it's even more painful if you can't move forward. I hope they can both be well in the future. Sigh, it suddenly makes me miss my parents. I haven't contacted them in a long time since I started working."

"Me too. I used to be annoyed by their nagging at home, but now that I'm in college, I can't hear it anymore."

After the dream-sending, the middle-aged man finally let go of his obsession.

However, he was now a ghost, and it was clearly unlikely for him to reincarnate.

For every gain, there is a loss.

For those who actively give up the opportunity to reincarnate, the underworld's review will be more stringent.

Currently, he could only temporarily stay and live in the underworld.

Seeing the middle-aged man looking bewildered, Jiang Lin mentioned the Ghost Market, the restaurant where Chen Sanwei was located.

He had heard Chen Sanwei mention recruiting people when he went to eat there before.

Now that he had a stable source of income, Jiang Lin ate at Chen Sanwei's more often.

Sometimes, when the restaurant was not busy, Chen Sanwei would chat a bit while serving dishes.

He would talk about the situation of his descendant in the human world.

The Chen Ji Restaurant had reopened.

Because the soup sold daily was limited, it attracted more people to visit, all for a taste of the Chen family soup.

That kid Chen Jiaming had some talent. Under the guidance of his ancestor Chen Sanwei, he learned quickly.

However, so far, Chen Sanwei had only taught him three dishes, telling him to practice more on his own.

Cooking skills cannot be rushed; one must practice, cook, and experience more.

One should not be impatient for success.

If the young man was too restless, Chen Sanwei wouldn't mind whipping him a few more times in his dreams.

Or assigning him difficult tasks, like making hundreds of dishes.

Jiang Lin heard a tone of satisfaction in Chen Sanwei's voice.

At least, the inheritance of the Chen family soup had not been broken.

Speaking of which, one had to mention the other old folks in the underworld.

Since most of them passed down their skills through dreams, Jiang Lin had heard some of their deeds.

It was said that two of them, both former concubines, had conflicts when they were alive.

They met in the underworld one day, and their conflict escalated again.

Now, after passing down their skills to their descendants, they simply had their descendants compete on a grand stage.

To see who was more outstanding.

There was also an old ancestor of the Song family who studied medicine. It was said that after he began passing down his knowledge, he became a completely different person.

Every time he returned to the underworld, he would cause a stir, developing a strong interest in dissecting ghosts.

Several times, Jiang Lin saw ghosts dragging their intestines and running out of the old ancestor Song's house.

Jiang Lin did not interfere too much with these ghosts in the underworld.

As long as they were not too outrageous or caused major trouble, the ghost officers generally did not intervene in these matters.

The human world had its own life.

The ghosts in the underworld also had their own lives.

After resolving the matter of the middle-aged man, Jiang Lin explained the matter of ghost reincarnation to the live stream audience.

Once one became a ghost, it was difficult to reincarnate again, unless one accumulated immense wish power or merit.

Otherwise, it would depend on one's performance during life and after becoming a ghost to determine their contribution to the underworld, and only after completing these contributions could they reincarnate again.

Some might only need a few decades to reincarnate, while others might need hundreds or thousands of years.

In the words of King Yama, these ghosts were taking up space in the underworld, so it was better to convert them into free labor.

There were many places in the underworld that required labor, such as building streets and houses, standing guard, and patrolling hell.

At least, from what Jiang Lin knew, many ghost officers planned to contribute more to exchange for the opportunity to reincarnate.

Preferably, they would reincarnate into a good family and live a peaceful life.

For them.

There were still many things in the human world worth reminiscing about, worth trying and experiencing again.

Some ghost officers developed this idea after interacting with the human world many times.

They wanted to personally experience the current human world, to feel the joys and sorrows.

Perhaps they had been disappointed with the human world, perhaps they had suffered despair.

But as they watched the human world evolve to its current state, and wondered where it would go in the future.

They still felt a trace of curiosity, a trace of anticipation.

Of course, some ghost officers initially aimed for reincarnation.

But after working for hundreds or thousands of years, they gradually adapted to life in the underworld and gave up on reincarnation.

In short.

Although the opportunity to reincarnate seemed easy to come by, and almost everyone could reincarnate, once lost, it became very difficult to regain.

Jiang Lin said calmly, "Especially for those who actively give up the opportunity to reincarnate, it will be even more difficult to reincarnate again."

"So, cherish the opportunity to reincarnate. What you have might be what many people strive for but cannot obtain."

"!!!" So there were so many rules to this!

"That's true. If ghosts couldn't reincarnate, wouldn't the underworld become crowded? The human population is also quite large now."

"Holy cow! Those who have to contribute for a thousand years, wouldn't they start doubting life? Wouldn't it be better to just be a ghost then? Would anyone really work that long just to reincarnate?"

Listening to Jiang Lin, the viewers stopped munching on their snacks.

They felt they had learned something new, that there was such a concept regarding ghost reincarnation.

It was quite different from what they had seen in novels or online.

This was the first time they had heard this explanation, and they couldn't help but discuss it in the live stream.

"My guess is that contribution means working?"

"Maybe opening a shop in the Ghost Market, haha, after all, it also maintains the normal lives of ghosts, so it should count as a contribution, right?"

"Can earning a lot of money offset some of the contribution? If so, I'll go burn some ghost money now."

"Be a good human, you never know when you might stop being one."

While surprised, the viewers also realized.

It was not an easy task for ghosts to reincarnate again.

Perhaps while they casually went to reincarnate, many ghosts who couldn't were secretly envying them.

After all, for those ghosts,

Reincarnation is not easy, and it's uncertain whether they can reincarnate in this lifetime.

Since the "Daily Healing in the Underworld" live stream became popular, it attracted many people who were good at creating content.

Seeing this, they realized it was time to create some buzz.

While streaming with their phones, they opened their computers and logged into social media.

They began editing and organizing what Jiang Lin had just said, emphasizing:

"It's harder for those who actively give up reincarnation to reincarnate again."

"Therefore, please don't waste the opportunity to reincarnate. What you have might be what many people desire but cannot obtain."

As soon as the post was published, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Now, anything related to the "Daily Healing in the Underworld" live stream automatically gained traffic.

Some people glanced at it and scrolled away.

Others read it and thought, better safe than sorry.

After all, no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.
