"Seal, logistics team..."
Jiang Lin recalled the characteristics of these two job categories and then thought about Xiao Guzizi's personality, saying:
"Both of these teams should be fine for you. It just depends on which one you choose when the time comes."
As he spoke, Jiang Lin took out a gift bag and used his ghost energy to float it in front of Xu Guzizi.
"Congratulations on finishing your internship. From now on, you're also a ghost messenger who can stand on your own."
Inside the bag were the [Soul Condensing Pearl] and [Soul Guarding Armor] he had previously bought from the system.
The end of an internship for ghost messengers was actually similar to graduating and finding a job in the human world.
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."
Xu Guzizi stood up, took it, and chuckled.
His father had told him not to be polite with Uncle Jiang, to treat him like family.
...
Not long after, there was a knock on the private room door, and the dishes were served one by one.
Steamed, boiled, spicy...
There were also many pastries and drinks.
Finally, when all the dishes were served, the table was filled with plates.
Xu Zhao was stunned. She hadn't ordered much, and she hadn't seen the child order much either.
Xu Zhao secretly glared at Xu Shuzi.
When they came, hadn't she told him not to order carelessly?
Although Jiang Lin lived alone, he might get married or set up a household at any time in the future.
This money couldn't be spent carelessly.
As a result, not only did he order expensive items, but he also ordered so many.
After being glared at, Xu Shuzi was pinched on the waist again.
His eyes towards his wife were filled with grievance.
He hadn't ordered carelessly...
...
After the meal.
When Xu Shuzi accompanied Jiang Lin to pay, he couldn't help but mutter:
"If you're treating, why did you order so many dishes? Look how your wife pinched me."
Jiang Lin found it amusing and said, "Alright, I'll order fewer dishes next time."
Xu Shuzi looked back at the private room and whispered:
"You don't have to. Just order another table when the two of us eat, but don't let your wife see it."
Looking at Xu Shuzi's cautious appearance, Jiang Lin turned his head away.
His shoulders shook, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Pfft..."
Xu Shuzi: "Don't laugh, I'm serious. When we get back, your wife will definitely nag me for a while longer."
After paying, the two ghosts walked back, chatting.
They stopped talking when they reached the door of the private room.
"Let's go."
Xu Shuzi called his wife and son at the door.
After the group of ghosts left the restaurant, they didn't linger. After all, they were all ghost messengers with work to do.
Moreover, Jiang Lin and Xu Shuzi were not the type to enjoy shopping, so they only accompanied Xu Zhao and Xu Guzizi for a while.
"Goodbye, Uncle Jiang~" Xu Guzizi waved.
Jiang Lin patted Xu Guzizi's head, "Mm, see you after the new year."
Watching Xu Shuzi's family leave, Jiang Lin also turned and walked towards the exit of the ghost market.
...
On the way home.
Xu Zhao looked at her husband. Ever since a moment ago, his mood had been very good.
She couldn't help but ask, "What's making you so happy?"
Xu Shuzi smiled and shook his head, taking her hand. "Do you feel like Jiang Lin has changed a bit?"
"How has he changed?" Xu Zhao really hadn't noticed.
"I can't quite say."
Xu Shuzi looked at his son, who was walking ahead and browsing, a smile on his lips.
He couldn't quite say, but it should be... a good change.
...
After returning home.
Xu Guzizi remembered the gift from Jiang Lin and quickly took it out, opening the gift bag.
The next moment, a faint light emanated from the bedroom.
Looking at the flowing [Soul Condensing Pearl] and [Soul Guarding Armor], Xu Guzizi subconsciously slowed his breathing.
He looked at them carefully, then carefully put them away.
Then he ran to the door and called out:
"Dad! Come and see this quickly!"
Xu Shuzi was being nagged by his wife when he heard this and immediately floated over as if escaping.
"What is it, what is it?"
"Dad, look at this."
Xu Guzizi carefully took out the two items again.
The Soul Condensing Pearl and the Soul Guarding Armor were radiant and beautiful.
Like precious treasures.
"This is the gift bag Uncle Jiang gave me at the dinner table just now."
"Let me see."
Xu Shuzi picked up the Soul Condensing Pearl and the Soul Guarding Armor and examined them closely.
In the bag beside them, there were also instructions for using these two items.
As he looked, his expression began to become serious.
"[Soul Guarding Armor], stores ghost energy to resist attacks, can withstand a fatal blow from a Great Ghost General at most, and reflects 2% of the power.
[Soul Condensing Pearl], when worn normally, can strengthen the solidity of the soul. In times of life and death, it can reunite scattered souls.
Usage conditions: Below the Great Ghost General realm.
Note: This is a one-time use ghost artifact."
...
Both the Soul Guarding Armor, which could withstand the fatal blow of a Great Ghost General, and the Soul Condensing Pearl, which could reunite souls in times of life and death, were extremely precious ghost artifacts.
Ghost artifacts that could reunite souls... Xu Shuzi had only heard of them.
With this, it was equivalent to having an extra life!
Even if it was limited to realms below Great Ghost General.
But in the entire underworld, only a minority of ghosts could reach the Great Ghost General realm, or even higher.
Most ghosts were still hovering in the Ghost General, or even below the Ghost General realm.
And danger often struck when ghosts were weak.
"Dad, aren't these two items too valuable?"
Seeing his father's expression, Xu Guzizi also couldn't help but lower his voice.
"How about I take them back to Uncle Jiang later?"
Although he didn't know how precious these two items were, he knew they were very important just by their functions.
They were too valuable, and he didn't know if he should accept them.
"..."
Xu Shuzi did not speak.
After a while, he carefully put down the two ghost artifacts and patted his son's head.
"Since your Uncle Jiang gave them to you, keep them well. You don't need to return them."
Xu Guzizi nodded, touching the two ghost artifacts with some affection.
He asked curiously, "Dad, how does Uncle Jiang have such powerful ghost artifacts?"
Xu Shuzi paused, "Do you believe in your Uncle Jiang's character?"
"Yes, I do."
"Then do you think he would harm you?"
Xu Guzizi shook his head, "No, Uncle Jiang wouldn't harm us."
"Then don't try to figure it out, and don't let others know. Just remember your Uncle Jiang's kindness, understand?" Xu Shuzi said.
Whether it was between humans or ghosts, sometimes it was not necessary to know too much, nor to ask too much.
You just need to know that this person will not harm you, and that is enough.
Xu Guzizi nodded, "Yes! I understand, Dad."
...
After returning to his own room, Xu Shuzi mentioned this matter to Xu Zhao.
Xu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "When can we find an opportunity to return the favor?"
Xu Shuzi said, "I actually think Jiang Lin wouldn't care about these things."
"We still need to return the favor. Even if we don't have anything as valuable to give, it's still a gesture of our thoughtfulness."
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Xu Shuzi pondered for a moment and suddenly laughed, "Why do I feel like you won't find an opportunity to return the favor?"
...
On the other side.
As soon as Jiang Lin returned to the Eighteenth Hall, the ghost guarding the door told him that a ghost child had visited.
And brought an invitation.
- Underworld Annual Meeting Invitation.
