Chapter 978 - 356: Everyone Is Working Hard, New Ideas (5k)
Upon hearing Zhou Xiaorong’s words, Wen Yan was enlightened; no wonder the Scorching Sun Department attached so much importance to this matter, there turned out to be no clues at all.
It turns out that guy fled after, going directly to the border, causing havoc for the Lost Souls next door.
In the past two years, things haven’t been very peaceful over there. Ghosts disappearing is one thing, even a living person’s sudden death in current circumstances is no big deal.
That guy is different from other Ghost Wealth Gods; at least so far, there’s no mention of a Ghost Wealth God using the road to escape.
This ability wasn’t gained after transforming into a Ghost Wealth God, but was possessed by that guy himself.
So the question arises, according to the current method for transforming into a Ghost Wealth God, none fit that guy’s behavior pattern, so how did he become a Ghost Wealth God?
Was he originally a human or a ghost? Or something else entirely?
Now it’s impossible to confirm.
According to the information Men Xinsheng provided, the Ghost Wealth God may not necessarily be formed after death.
No one knows how Men Xinsheng did it, despite being a close-handed Ghost Wealth God, he dug out a lot of information from other Ghost Wealth Gods.
Just the methods Men Xinsheng mentioned for becoming a Ghost Wealth God, there are already seven or eight.
Yet each seems to rely on luck, following the steps precisely has no effect.
Once these folks transform into a Ghost Wealth God, someone might want to recruit allies, but the success rate is abysmally low.
Some ghosts disperse directly, some people die and become nothing, not turning into ghosts.
No further attempts by Ghost Wealth Gods were made afterward.
"That guy with the face mark, without communication, how did you find out these things?"
"There’s a Ghost Wealth God in Caiyun County, got the intelligence from local ghosts.
The guy with the face mark acts recklessly yet cautiously, fiercely and domineering.
He doesn’t harm local ghosts or locals, and even if local ghosts discover something, nobody dares to carelessly report to the Scorching Sun Department.
The message finally reached a Ghost Wealth God over there, who was idly chatting gossip at the plaza.
The guy with the face mark is so domineering and fierce, even seeing other Ghost Wealth Gods, he looks at them like street Mole Crickets, disdainfully uninterested in pretending.
Those who’ve seen him, Ghost Wealth Gods or not, find it hard to tolerate him."
Wen Yan laughed out loud, indeed, strength is strength but at least maintaining appearances is essential.
Presenting oneself as superior to everyone else without even pretending - can others not feel displeased?
"There’s a Ghost Wealth God named Men Xinsheng, do you know him?"
"Heard of him..." Zhou Xiaorong answered cautiously.
If he remembered correctly, Men Xinsheng’s temple was smashed by Wen Yan, later heard it was torn down barehanded.
Then the next morning before dawn, a car hit the ruins, shouldered the blame.
Early in the morning, an excavator came to clear away the debris.
Heard the person proactively suggested rebuilding a bigger, better Wenchang Temple, even donated to the village’s education fund, also gave three study abroad slots to outstanding students that year.
The villagers were immediately silent, thinking instead this was the God of Wealth manifesting, guiding their future development.
As for the new temple and the original one, they are entirely different matters - who cares?
The original small temple hadn’t been built for long anyway, with no emotional attachment to it.
In half a day, everything was sorted out; without the Scorching Sun Department’s involvement, who’d believe it?
"Tell me."
"Heard earlier he mixed in Nanyang, unknown exact location, now returning to his roots.
That guy is a bit more cautious than other Ghost Wealth Gods, quite good at chatting, can talk for ages with many Ghost Wealth Gods there.
I’ve chatted with him, he’s particularly good at praising others, doesn’t seem threatening.
Everyone enjoys chatting with him; he knows a lot about Nanyang, shares unseen insights.
A Ghost Wealth God still has living relatives, regarding children studying abroad, he could provide advice.
Even gave a contact method, should someone study abroad in Nanyang, giving that number will surely help.
He said that in earlier years he dabbled in gray areas in Nanyang, later washed hands in legitimate business.
Now as a Ghost Wealth God, he’s one of modest wealth.
Everyone thinks aside from boasting, not much distinguishes him, not extreme, hence worth chatting sometimes."
"Has he ever mentioned what he was called in Nanyang?"
"He definitely didn’t say, only mentioned his current name was his childhood given name, changed name when ventured out; otherwise, his rare surname might be remembered."
Wen Yan nodded, the information he gathered here, indeed no notable businesspeople named Men Xinsheng in Nanyang.
"Can you get hold of that contact method you mentioned?"
"Let me ask around, should be no problem."
Wen Yan confirmed with Men Xinsheng and Zhou Xiaorong, the accounts nearly matched.
In Men Xinsheng’s view, Zhou Xiaorong was like a child cut off in his prime, keenly thinking to have a body, continue unfulfilled endeavors during his life.
It’s mostly the young who care about this; Men Xinsheng had no intention of acquiring another body, definitely not a current goal.
"You can take a look at details of those folks’ small temples when you’re free, note them down, later photos might be brought for your identification."
