"What are they doing?" Liu Buwei asked curiously.
Don't these ghost officers have work to do?
Publicly watching the fun?
Meng Shen looked over there, then revealed a look of understanding. "Oh, that. They're competing."
"Competing?"
The ghost officers in the East Hall were somewhat surprised.
If this were in the East Hall, although the work atmosphere wasn't that strict, it wasn't this relaxed.
Usually, only in the Ghost Market could such a lively scene be seen.
Meng Shen tilted his chin. "See the sign above them?"
The East Hall team all looked up and indeed saw a floating sign above the circular platform.
The sign was black, made of some unknown material, and looked very textured.
"That's the mission board."
Meng Shen explained, "There should be a mission center in the East Hall too, right?"
"Although I don't know what the East Hall is like, in the South Hall, to get good missions, you have to rely on your own abilities."
"The stronger the mission, the more ghost officers will compete for it."
Competing for missions solely based on strength?
Liu Buwei became interested. "Then what about the missions that aren't good? Does no one want to do them?"
Meng Shen glanced at him and said slowly, "Normally, everyone's work is completed as usual. If someone doesn't have time to complete it, they can put it on the mission center for a reward."
"Generally, what everyone competes for are the good missions specifically selected from various industries."
"For example, a mission to guide wandering souls that I grabbed yesterday. This was originally supposed to be done by Bai Wuchang, but because it was a good mission, it was directly assigned to the mission center."
Directly assigned to the mission center?
Jiang Lin was a little surprised. "Guiding wandering souls also requires competition? What's the standard for a good mission?"
Meng Shen smiled. "I can't explain it clearly in a short time, but if you're interested, you can come and see when I carry it out tomorrow."
From this, it could be seen that some of the operating modes of the East Hall and the South Hall differed significantly in nature.
Rather than an explanation, it would be more direct to follow him out on a mission tomorrow.
"Okay," Jiang Lin replied.
"I'll join too," Liu Buwei's eyes lit up with excitement.
Not only could he take on various missions, but he could also spar with all sorts of ghost officers!
This rule in the South Hall suited him perfectly.
Meng Shen smiled. "Okay, I'll notify you then."
As they were talking, there was an uproar among the ghost officers watching in front.
On the circular platform, the ghost officer who had been fighting with his eyes closed was flying in the air, holding the mission board.
Clearly, the winner had been decided!
After the two ghost officers on the stage left, there were still ghost officers discussing the previous match, analyzing the combat.
"To be honest, the big guy was more composed. Although he didn't attack proactively, he seized the timing of every attack very accurately."
"The other one wasn't bad either. With his speed and attack power, another ghost officer might have won."
As they spoke, some ghost officers rolled up their sleeves, eager to try, and jumped directly onto the circular platform.
"Hey, are there any missions left? Who wants to fight me?"
Clearly, even if it wasn't to compete for missions, these ghost officers enjoyed the state of combat.
...
"Uncle Meng, Uncle Meng!"
While a group of ghost officers were watching the competition, the two twin ghost children who had run off earlier returned.
One of the little ghosts whispered into Meng Shen's ear, "Uncle Meng, Lord Zhong Kui said for you to think of a solution first."
The other little ghost floated to Meng Shen's left ear, sat on his shoulder to rest for a moment, and then said:
"Uncle Meng, the number 2 dorm supervisor said it's okay to go, and it's already arranged."
Meng Shen picked up the two little ghosts. "I know. I'll come find you two after I'm done."
Saying that, he looked at the East Hall team and said, "Let's go to the next place."
...
"My guess is they've found a place to live, hahaha..."
"Ghost officers of the East Hall: This time, they won't stop halfway through the introduction, right?"
"Those two little kids are so cute! It's just that they're too destructive (facepalm.jpg)"
The viewers in the live stream saw the interaction between Meng Shen and the twin ghost children.
They could all tell, and the streamers probably realized it too.
It's just that no one said anything.
Hahaha, so awkward.
In the live stream –
Meng Shen led the East Hall team to a building.
Seeing this building, the viewers almost thought the streamers had teleported to the human world.
Or that buildings from the human world had been teleported to the underworld.
The building that appeared in front of the camera was very tall, at least thirty to forty stories high. At a glance, it looked like the high-rise buildings in the human world.
However, this underworld version of the building was slightly... simpler.
There was no decoration, no color, and no awnings. It seemed to be just for housing people and sleeping.
No, that description isn't quite accurate either.
After all, for ghosts, sleeping isn't a necessity.
Thinking of what Meng Shen had said earlier, that they were not allowed to go out between 12 AM and 4 AM.
The viewers guessed...
So, this was built to provide a place for ghosts to stay?
How to describe this feeling? It's like when viewers go to a different place and have no money.
Whether it's an internet cafe or a subway station, as long as there's a place to sleep, it's fine.
With this thought, the viewers fell silent for a moment.
"..."
"I can't find any way to praise this building."
"Please be kind, everyone. There were a few nice houses, but now they're gone."
"Alas, I suddenly feel a familiar scent, the scent of 'poverty'."
"Do you think it's feasible for us to crowdfund a house for the streamer?"
Although houses weren't important to the ghost officers, the viewers looked around.
Suddenly, they felt that their own houses were too good.
Decoration, aesthetics...
"[There's something good to see] gifted the streamer 10 gold bars!"
"[Loves to eat mung bean cakes] gifted the streamer a skyscraper *1"
"Fresh fish presents a gift to the streamer..."
...
The live stream was filled with gifts.
Jiang Lin glanced up. "???"
Why did they start gifting?
A house?
These viewers actually wanted to crowdfund a house for him?
Jiang Lin pursed his lips, finding it a bit amusing.
These guys have some interesting ideas.
However, his home was in the East Hall, and his big house was also in the East Hall.
So, he wasn't that concerned about these accommodations in front of him.
"This is a feature of our South Hall. We've adopted the housing model from the human world."
Looking at the building in front of them, Meng Shen continued to laugh heartily. "Neighbors front, back, left, and right make it lively to live."
Xu Youzhi surveyed the building in front of him and nodded. "It is indeed quite distinctive."
Their East Hall had never built such tall housing.
Meng Shen: "Right? Hahaha..."
