"The streamer finally has time to rest!"
"Quick, the friend from the north, come out!"
As Jiang Lin looked up, his viewers all pushed the message from the previous viewer about the 'demons and monsters to the north' to the top.
All viewers in the world are one family.
The viewers thought, perhaps the streamer would have a way, after all, the streamer understood underworld matters better.
As for offering support, they hadn't thought much about it; the streamer was already very busy.
There was also the point that perhaps this information could give the streamer some ideas.
After all, they all knew that the streamer had been busy lately trying to uncover the Ghost Shopkeeper and the mastermind behind everything.
"Demons to the north?"
Looking at the same message constantly scrolling by, Jiang Lin pondered for a moment and said,
"The north has its own ghost messengers, and the south has its own ghost messengers."
"I am from the East Hall. If I were to arbitrarily go to other underworld territories to capture wandering souls or demons, it would cause trouble."
Jiang Lin estimated that the north, like the east, was facing some issues.
Recently, there had been many incidents involving the Ghost Shopkeeper, and the human world had also been significantly affected.
He put down the documents in his hand, taking a moment to relax.
"How about this, it's inconvenient for me to go north. Let's take this opportunity for a fan welfare event."
The bullet comments in the livestream room flew by:
"Fan welfare?!"
"The streamer is mighty!"
As soon as Jiang Lin said this, the viewers who were urging the friend from the north to take care of themselves immediately became energetic.
This fan welfare was unique across the entire internet!
"Now that the streamer says this, I'm not panicking anymore!"
"Now that you all say this, my six-kin-disowning steps are coming out (#^.^#)"
...
This time, Jiang Lin distributed more fan welfare than ever before.
Firstly, his wallet was fuller, and secondly, there were many more fans in the livestream room than before.
His thinking was simple: giving out more fan welfare now should also reduce the impact of the Ghost Shopkeeper.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished distributing the fan welfare, he heard the long-awaited system notification sound.
"Ding~ Distributing fan welfare at regular intervals has enhanced the loyalty of fans in the livestream room. Reward: Streamer Welfare Gift Box *1."
Welfare Gift Box?
Fans get fan welfare, and the streamer gets streamer welfare too??
Jiang Lin glanced at the livestream room. The viewers were still enthusiastically discussing the fan welfare they had just received.
To the ghost messengers, these might just be small trinkets.
But to the viewers, these were life-saving treasures.
No talisman was as effective as these items.
Seeing this, Jiang Lin had the livestream camera pan to another area.
Then, he checked the welfare gift box the system had just given him.
In the system's item inventory, a colorful, exquisitely packaged gift box lay quietly there.
This was the first time Jiang Lin had opened a gift box, whether as Beggar Jiang Lin or Ghost Messenger Jiang Lin.
The child from the Xu Shu family had given Jiang Lin things before, but they were given directly.
No one had ever given something with such packaging.
What would the system's streamer welfare be?
As Jiang Lin pondered, he opened the gift box.
"Ding~ Opened Streamer Welfare Gift Box. Obtained Rainbow Pet Egg *1. Please check carefully, host~"
The next moment, a colorful egg appeared on the desk in front of Jiang Lin.
It was about the size of his palm.
Jiang Lin tried poking it: "..."
He had seen pet eggs in the system store before, but his points were mostly used to buy Yin Qi Pills.
He hadn't really paid attention to pets.
However, the Ox-Head Ghost Messenger next door seemed to have quite a few pets.
Once, when Jiang Lin passed by, he saw a group of animals clinging to the other ghost messenger.
Jiang Lin looked at the rainbow egg, this...
Was he supposed to hatch it?
Pet egg... it should be edible, right?
At this moment, Jiang Lin recalled the bird eggs he and other children used to gather in the village when he was alive.
They tasted quite good, actually.
However, in the end, Jiang Lin just looked at it and then set the pet egg aside.
Whether to boil it or hatch it, it wasn't the right time yet.
He picked up the documents by his hand and continued processing them, and the hall returned to silence.
Just then, the pet egg placed aside moved, as if trying to hide in a corner.
But with Jiang Lin's movement of handling documents, the pet egg immediately stopped.
It quietly played its role as an egg, fearing that it might be eaten before it was even hatched.
...
Not long after, a spirit carriage stopped outside the Eighteenth Hall.
Besides the ghost driver and the original passengers, all other humans or ghosts who had hitched a ride had disembarked.
The ghost driver returned this time with his report for a day of driving.
Because he couldn't leave the carriage too far, he had asked the ghosts guarding the entrance of the Eighteenth Hall to take it inside.
After driving around the Eighteenth District for a few days, it had indeed discovered the traces of the Ghost Shopkeeper a few times.
However, the master had said not to engage in direct confrontation, so the ghost driver noted the locations and then drove away with a carriage full of ghosts.
But, looking at the master and the Eighteenth Team busy, the ghost driver sometimes wished he could help more.
Their carriage full of ghosts, plus another carriage, should be able to make up for a Zhuge Liang, right?
"Decided! Our goal today is to pick up ten hitchhikers!"
The ghost driver stepped on the accelerator and set off from the Eighteenth Hall, full of passion.
"Everyone keep your eyes peeled!"
The latter sentence was spoken by the ghost driver to the ghost passengers in the carriage.
To pick up ten people in a day?
The passengers looked at each other; this was quite a challenge for them.
After all, it wasn't often that they encountered living souls or humans who had strayed.
However, they could feel the ghost driver's enthusiasm.
The master had given them the pass to travel between the yin and yang realms, and allowed them to continue staying in the human world.
They also wanted to help more.
"......!"
Thinking of this, the passengers clenched their fists.
They all took out their eyeballs and wiped them clean with a clean silk cloth.
Their demeanor and actions were serious and meticulous.
Only after wiping them until there wasn't a speck of dust left did they put them back into their eye sockets.
Now their eyes were definitely bright enough!
The passengers lay in various parts of the carriage to ensure they didn't miss any living souls or stray humans.
Ten targets, come on, they could do it!
...
Inside a certain palace.
A figure in magnificent robes stood at the entrance of the hall, looking forward.
His features were extremely delicate, and his aura was noble.
With every gesture, people were unconsciously drawn to submit at his feet.
It seemed only then would it be worthy of his noble status.
Behind him, the King of the North Hall stood quietly, his gaze filled with deep affection.
"Everything has been arranged," said the King of the North Hall.
The figure in front turned around, a confident smile on his lips, as if everything was within his control.
"Then let the feast begin!"
...
