Jiang Lin, following the map provided by Meng Shen, began to wander around the Underworld.
He also decided to check out the place he had seen in the live stream last night.
When Jiang Lin passed by the area where the black shadow from last night had been, he noticed that the pile of ruins was gone.
The place that originally had six houses had become a flat, open space.
Ghost officers were busy nearby, seemingly planning for this cleared area.
While Jiang Lin and his companions were exploring, the live stream camera also flew around the vicinity, showing the scenery to the viewers.
Jiang Lin asked the child next to him, "My name is Jiang Lin, what's yours?"
"Li Suo, my name is Li Suo."
The child ran ahead of Jiang Lin, facing him, and walked backward.
"I know you, Jiang Lin, the propagator of Underworld culture."
"…?"
Jiang Lin: "The propagator of Underworld culture?"
Li Suo looked at Jiang Lin, "Yes! I don't know if this is common in your Eastern Palace, but it's quite common in the Southern Palace."
"It is said that every so often, when the Underworld needs faith, or when humans are about to forget about the Underworld…"
"Anyway, there needs to be a catalyst."
"Whenever this happens, a propagator of the Underworld appears."
Passing by a ladder, Li Suo leaped over it with a backflip without looking back.
He then continued, "For example, in our Southern Palace, there are several. Lord Zhong Kui, and before him, Lords Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu…"
"However, Lord Zhong Kui is busy all day, so you probably won't see him. As for Lords Xie and the others, they recently went to the Northern Palace to retire."
Jiang Lin listened intently.
By the time he came to serve in the Underworld, the four palaces had already been restricted from travel.
It could be said that the communication and understanding between the four regions of the Underworld had also experienced a certain disconnect.
Jiang Lin asked, "How did they spread the word? Was it all like me?"
Li Suo shook his head, "No, the method of propagation is different each time."
The so-called propagation was to make humans aware of the existence of the Underworld and the netherworld again.
In those years, where would there be live streams or mobile phones?
In the early years, mobile phones weren't even common in the human world.
It was only in recent years that they became universally popular.
Hearing Li Suo say this, Jiang Lin became somewhat curious about those predecessors.
If he had the chance, he wanted to discuss the matter of Underworld propagation with them.
How did they do it? And how did it start?
Did they also receive system rewards?
When Jiang Lin first started live streaming, the system had appeared suddenly.
After studying it for a while, he found that simply broadcasting his daily work was harmless to himself and to the Underworld.
Since he couldn't remove the system anyway, he thought, why not try it out first?
He didn't expect this to be the beginning of the propagation.
Recalling Li Suo's words, Jiang Lin wondered if the King of Hell in the Eastern Palace also thought this way.
But he figured he was just live-streaming his daily work, so there shouldn't be any problem.
…
Passing by the Underworld Mission Center, Jiang Lin saw Liu Buwei competing with another Black Wuchang.
Jiang Lin had seen that Black Wuchang before; it was Feng Yi, who had come with Meng Shen to pick them up on the day they arrived at the Southern Palace.
Arriving here, Jiang Lin paused and asked Li Suo:
"Do you know what a special-grade mission is?"
"I really don't know about that."
Li Suo showed a hint of confusion on his face, "Special-grade missions are only known to the ghost officers who have undertaken them."
It seemed that in the Southern Palace, special-grade missions also had their peculiarities.
It was just that the method of accepting missions was a bit more open than in the Eastern Palace.
Jiang Lin understood and changed the subject, "Do you know why you can't come out between 12 AM and 4 AM?"
"That's the cultivation time specially set aside for us by Lord Zhong Kui!"
Li Suo put his hands on his hips, proud and boastful, "If you want to become strong, you can't just focus on accepting missions and working; you must set aside time for cultivation and for pondering new skills."
"When everyone is cultivating and learning, it can form a good cultivation atmosphere."
"Lord Zhong Kui said that in such an atmosphere, everyone will become stronger and more self-disciplined!"
From 12 AM to 4 AM, not only ghost officers had to go indoors, but the ghosts and monsters in the ghost market also had to go indoors.
This arrangement would allow those working ghosts to also have some time for cultivation.
"No matter when, earning money by working is a good thing, but while supporting ourselves, we must not forget to improve ourselves!"
This was also a major advantage of their Southern Palace!
With this arrangement, everyone could have their own time for cultivation or other activities!
Speaking of this, Li Suo remembered the debt he had incurred yesterday and couldn't help but sigh.
e=(´o｀*))) Alas
Their earning speed simply couldn't keep up with their spending speed!
Should he find another part-time job?
Jiang Lin looked at Li Suo and felt that what he said made quite a lot of sense.
At this moment, he heard Li Suo mumble again, "But I feel that Lord Zhong Kui doing this…"
He looked around and whispered:
"I think Lord Zhong Kui is doing this also considering our Southern Palace's financial situation."
"According to rumors, there was a time when the King of Hell went to the Western Palace, and after returning, our Underworld had money to build new houses."
"This time, it was the Northern Palace that lost money, which is why we could afford to invite you."
Li Suo's eyes darted around, and whenever a ghost officer passed by, he would fall silent.
After the ghost officer left, he would start mumbling again.
His demeanor made Jiang Lin want to laugh.
This little guy was quite cute.
But, was it really okay to tell him all this?
Then again, it seemed he was the one who asked first.
Jiang Lin pondered what Li Suo had said, and suddenly, his gaze paused on Li Suo.
Although Meng Shen had said he could boss this little guy around…
He hadn't said whether it was free of charge.
Should he give Li Suo a tip later?
"…"
Jiang Lin thought about it and decided to see later.
After all, Li Suo had been following him around for so long.
…
"Brothers, yesterday I said we needed to provide financial support to the Southern Palace, have you taken action?"
"We have, we have. I just bought a big bag and am waiting to burn it."
"You guys haven't burned it yet, but I have. I just don't know if it can reach the Southern Palace Underworld."
"What this kid said makes so much sense! While struggling to make a living, don't forget to improve your abilities."
The viewers in the live stream were sending barrage messages.
The little live stream ball was very considerate, sometimes hovering around Jiang Lin and his companions, sometimes wandering nearby.
It broadcasted what it should, and didn't miss a single word of what shouldn't be broadcast.
At the same time, it satisfied the viewers' occasional desire to see what the streamer was doing.
"We must all look forward (to money)!"
"Indeed, only by increasing your own value is the hard truth, whether in relationships or work."
"I've decided to pursue postgraduate studies! Brothers, let's go!"
"Let me guess what the streamer is thinking right now? (dog emoji)"
