Chapter 202: Chapter 117: One Hundred Thousand Banners Slay Yama!
However, thanks to these old ghosts’ unique aesthetic and worldview, the level of eeriness in the room hasn’t diminished; in fact, the various furnishings have suddenly elevated the creepy atmosphere to another level.
Now Lu Wenwu is sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring at the decorative wreaths and human skeletons displayed inside, lost in thought.
The so-called haunted houses in the human world that claim to scare people to death are purely like little brothers compared to this Black and White Impermanence’s dorm.
Bai Er Yi Yi poured Lu Wenwu a cup of Yin Spirit Tea, exclusive to the Netherworld, a rare specialty that living people can drink, even a luxury item by Impermanence standards.
Back in the day, Yin World Travelers often bought it at high prices and resold it in the human world, claiming it nourishes the soul and enhances virility with prolonged consumption.
Hmm…
The former indeed has miraculous effects, while the latter is just for fun, mainly to sell at a higher price.
Lu Wenwu, not knowing much about tea, took a hearty gulp.
The boiling tea entered his mouth without the slightest burn, instead, it brought an extreme chill as if plunged into an icy cave, rapidly spreading throughout his body.
Even with his physical quality and soul strength, he couldn’t help but shiver.
After the shiver, there came a sudden clarity and refreshment.
It was as if the dusty Spirit Platform had been thoroughly cleaned, giving him a feeling of complete rejuvenation.
“Good tea!” Lu Wenwu immediately said, “Although I don’t know what’s good, it feels great when drinking.”
“Hahaha, as long as it feels great!”
Hearing his compliment, Black 985 smiled happily, lying on the sofa, and poured him another cup before asking about what was mentioned earlier at the Soul Hooking Department.
“By the way, Xiaowu, you mentioned you want to take the Yin Messenger exam earlier, do you really want to go?”
“Yes, I already have a unit in mind.” Lu Wenwu nodded, “The Wangchuan Ghost Food Bureau managed by the Meng Po God, I feel it’s very suitable for me. I also want to try to obtain as many special Netherworld products that are beneficial to cultivators as possible.”
“Food Bureau? That place does seem quite suitable for you, your extraordinary egg pancake skills, anyone who eats it can’t help but daze!” Black 985 said with a face full of reminiscence, “I reckon if you make one for Lady Meng Po, you can get directly recruited.”
Bai Er Yi Yi pondered for a moment, then said: “It is indeed a match, but the Food Bureau…the welfare and benefits are rather average, you only receive a dead salary, and the salary is in the second last tier of the new Yin Messenger system, slightly better than ordinary Yin Soldiers.
“For Xiaowu, it might not be a good place. I remember earlier you said you’re here for training, right? And want to obtain more resources unique to the Underworld?”
Lu Wenwu nodded: “That’s right, if it weren’t for this Yin Messenger exam, I was originally planning to see if I could set up a stall selling pancakes by the Three Lives Stone. Pancakes paired with Meng Po Soup, it sounds wonderful.”
“That won’t work.” Black 985 laughed, “The Six Bridges are strictly managed, banning stalls, only Meng Po God’s incarnations and Food Bureau ghosts can serve soup nearby.”
“Let me think, a position with rich benefits…within a year…”
Bai Er Yi Yi took out his phone and started searching online.
He is an old ghost employed for years in the Soul Hooking Department and quite familiar with many positions in the Underworld, which can be seen from his code.
“Leopard, Bird, Fish, Bee, the four Yin General assistants? They’re recruiting assistants this year too? This position has great promotion potential, unfortunately, the short-term welfare isn’t that impressive.”
“Ox Head and Ma Mian are good, often receiving offerings and toll money from the human world, but this must be selected from Yin Soldiers, Xiaowu definitely can’t do it.”
“Hmm? This year, Zhong Kui’s Demon Suppression Bureau is also expanding recruitment? Bo’er Elephant keeper…this might work, it’s a lucrative position and easy to pass, seems like another keeper got eaten.”
“Bo’er Elephant? What’s that?” Lu Wenwu asked, curious about this creature he hadn’t heard of.
Bai Er Yi Yi explained: “It’s a demon that resembles but isn’t exactly a pig, living on eating ghosts. Over two hundred years ago, someone named Yuan Mei came down and wrote a book called ’New Qixie: Bo’er Elephant’, which records this.”
“It’s named Bo’er Elephant, not a pig. The Underworld keeps this beast, and whenever there’s a case where the guilty person has significant offenses, they let it devour. In essence, for those criminal ghosts not severe enough for hell, Bo’er Elephant eats them.”
“Since Bo’er Elephant eats ghosts, it frequently needs to be fed malignant ghosts, so this is considered a high-risk job, with top-tier welfare benefits, nearly the best career ordinary ghosts can reach.”
“Hey, I know this!” Black 985 excitedly interrupted, “There was a year during the Mid-Autumn Festival gala, a comedian talked about a Bo’er Elephant keeper falling into the elephant’s pit in his sketch. Later, because he repeated the same sketch for three years, the higher-ups got mad and granted his wish.”
Lu Wenwu was surprised, tentatively asked: “He got transferred to raise Bo’er Elephant?”
“No way, that wouldn’t be so easy for that guy!” Black 985 said with excitement on his face, “He got sent to feed Bo’er Elephant! Perfectly recreated the first-half plot of his sketch.”
“Let’s focus on business, stop talking nonsense. Xiaowu has tight time, once decided, he needs to prepare for the exam.” Bai Er Yi Yi glared at him, “Bo’er Elephant keeper can be a backup option, this position is quite easy, with no fixed working hours, just feed whenever bad ghosts are sent.”
