Unexpected outcomes always arrive so abruptly. Within two days, the dissolute young master's family went bankrupt due to tax evasion.
The Ghost King, lying in the hospital: "......"
Upon hearing this devastating news, the Ghost King, enraged, slammed his fist onto the hospital bed. The consequence of his excessive force was a fractured hand.
The Ghost King: "......"
The System, witnessing this scene via the display screen, shook its head and sighed, "Some people are so unlucky, even the bed bullies them."
Having said that, it relayed the incident to Ming Li.
Ming Li glanced coldly at the System, "You seem to have a lot of free time?"
The System: "......"
Before the System could offer any excuses, Ming Li continued, "Since that's the case, why don't you go deliver a grand gift to the male protagonist for me."
"What grand gift?" Upon asking this question, the System had a bad premonition.
As expected, in the next second, it saw Ming Li producing a yellow talisman adorned with a peculiar, eerie pattern.
"Just stick it onto the male protagonist."
The System stared at the yellow talisman in its hand, dumbfounded.
Host, haven't you made a mistake? I'm just a System, for goodness sake! Why has such a errand fallen upon my shoulders??
Just as it was about to complain, the System met its host's perpetually frigid gaze and instantly relented.
Upon reflection, running errands isn't so bad after all; it's a good way to get some exercise, right...
Watching the System depart, Ming Li's lips curled into a smile.
Meanwhile, the System, carrying the yellow talisman given by Ming Li, arrived at the Ghost King's current residence. Peering through the glass window at the grim-faced man standing inside the room, the System launched a direct assault, charging in without a second thought. After all, he couldn't see it anyway. With that in mind, the System directly slapped the yellow talisman it held onto the Ghost King's backside with a loud *thwack*?
The System: "......" Would anyone believe it if it said it wasn't intentional?
The Ghost King was completely oblivious to all of this.
Seeing this, the System quickly slipped away.
Not long after the System's departure, the Ghost King's complexion changed.
Looking at his hands, which could no longer wield his ghostly power, the Ghost King was utterly shocked.
Why! Why can't his ghostly power be used anymore?!
Furthermore, the Ghost King discovered something even more terrifying: he was unable to leave his current body!
"How could this happen!" Realizing his ghostly power was truly unusable, the Ghost King became somewhat frantic. He stumbled out of the room, but not paying attention to his direction, he carelessly ran onto the main road and was unfortunately sent flying by a speeding electric scooter.
The Ghost King: "......" He strongly suspected he had been cursed...
The rider of the electric scooter, startled by someone suddenly appearing and being knocked flying, quickly took out their phone and dialed 120 for emergency medical services. After some thought, they also reported it to the police.
Before long, an ambulance arrived. After taking the Ghost King to the hospital and conducting an examination, it turned out both of his legs had been fractured...
The doctor treating him, seeing his broken arms and legs, frowned. Unable to help himself, he sternly said to the Ghost King lying on the hospital bed, "Can't young people take better care of their bodies? Do you know that one's body and hair are gifts from one's parents?"
The Ghost King, inexplicably scolded: "......You lowly ants, how dare you speak to this King like this!"
The Doctor: "......" Good heavens! Could his brain have been rattled into idiocy?
