Chapter 67

"Is it a thousand yuan?"

"Are you so easily satisfied?" Everyone looked at Wang Xiaoer, who was excited, with speechless expressions. Although most of them claimed to be poor, they were not actually poor. A thousand yuan was just the cost of drawing a few talismans. Could you make back your capital by eliminating a curse?

Absolutely not, you would end up losing a lot of money.

"Little brother, is this your first time catching ghosts? Wait for me to take the mission, and I'll help you gain experience. Stand here and don't speak." The beautiful woman looked at the simple Wang Xiaoer. She had intended to mock him, but the words died in her throat.

This kid is so pitiful. Has he just come out of the mountains? He doesn't know that prices have skyrocketed. She spends thousands on a short skirt.

"What's wrong? A thousand yuan is a lot. I only spend fifty cents on a meal." Wang Xiaoer was at a loss. A thousand yuan was not a small amount. His monthly food expenses were only about 100 yuan, which was enough for half a year.

"Little brother, where do you live? I'll take care of your meals from now on." The beautiful woman, hearing Wang Xiaoer's words, was on the verge of tears. This rural child must be malnourished.

"Thirteen, aren't we being too extravagant? We always eat ten-yuan boxed meals." Shi Fatzi said.

Yin Shisan looked at Wang Xiaoer's simple appearance and felt a bit ashamed. Were they really being too extravagant?

"What? You're all so rich. Fifty cents is a lot. My master, Qiu Sheng, and I only spend three cents for a meal." Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, who had been silent, exclaimed in surprise.

"Is a thousand yuan a small amount?" Qiu Sheng asked Yin Shisan. A thousand yuan was a large sum for them. The richest person in the county only had a few thousand yuan.

"I usually charge a thousand yuan as a deposit. If it's a powerful ghost, we charge at least ten thousand yuan." Shi Fatzi replied.

Being a Taoist is not easy. Talismans, cinnabar, and other materials must be of the highest quality, which are very expensive.

Moreover, Yin Shisan's practice of Maoshan Taoist techniques also requires some precious herbs, and ten thousand yuan is just enough to keep them well-fed and well-clothed.

"Master, should we raise our prices for catching zombies in the future?" Wen Cai suggested. Others charge at least ten thousand yuan, while they only charge ten.

Hearing this, Uncle Jiu's expression softened. Had the prices in big cities risen so quickly?

"Three cents? Where do you eat? Can you introduce us?" Shi Fatzi was astonished. One person only spends one cent on average.

"It's at a restaurant in our county." Qiu Sheng replied.

"Which county are you from?" Shi Fatzi asked, puzzled. How could a restaurant be so cheap? Looking at their clothes, they seemed very old-fashioned, like they were from the Republic of China era. Is there such a poor county in China?

"Qinghe Province, Tianfeng County." Qiu Sheng replied. These two people in front of him looked like tycoons, spending ten yuan on a meal. He should try to get closer to them.

"Thirteen, I'm not good at geography. Where is Qinghe Province in China?" Shi Fatzi scratched his head. Had his memory declined so much that he couldn't even remember if it was a province in China?

"Qinghe Province, you don't know? Are you a pig?" Yin Shisan scolded, thinking about where Qinghe Province was. He had no impression of it. "Quickly check your phone to see if there's a signal and if you can connect to the internet."

"Thirteen, it can connect, but only to wireless. On the map, there doesn't seem to be a Qinghe Province." Shi Fatzi was surprised. "Could it be a newly added province?"

Yin Shisan took the phone and checked. There was indeed no Qinghe Province. He comforted Qiu Sheng, "Young man, don't be inferior. Poverty is not your fault. Be honest. Fatzi, sponsor their meals for a month."

Shi Fatzi smiled, "Being a Taoist is not easy. If you can't make ends meet, come to Tianhai Province. I'll help you find a job. It's not much, but you can earn two to three thousand yuan a month."

Saying this, he took out ten red bills and gave them to Qiu Sheng. Yin Shisan looked at them but said nothing.

"Master, is this new currency? I don't recognize it." Qiu Sheng laughed and took the money, but he had never seen this kind of currency before.

Moreover, he was more interested in the job that paid two to three thousand yuan a month. After working for two or three months, he could return home in glory.

Uncle Jiu took the ten red bills and found he didn't recognize them either. "Yes, it's new."

"Is it new? It seems to be printed in 1923." Shi Fatzi was puzzled.

"Master, they said it was printed in the twelfth year of the Republic of China. It's now the fifteenth year." Wen Cai laughed.

"I might have remembered wrong. Yes, it's printed in the fifteenth year of the Republic of China." Uncle Jiu was a bit embarrassed. Had he been out of touch with the world for so long?

"Thirteen, did you hear that? They said it's the fifteenth year of the Republic of China." Shi Fatzi was shocked and pulled Yin Shisan aside to whisper.

Could they be from Taiwan? But Taiwan now uses the international calendar.

Yin Shisan and Shi Fatzi looked at the three masters with strange expressions.

"We can do it for five hundred yuan." Qiu Sheng shouted again. It was fifty times higher than their usual ten yuan, a huge income.

"Do you really know Taoist techniques? My price is a minimum of ten thousand yuan. If you can't, let's have a competition. Whoever has the higher Taoist skills will take the job." The beautiful woman looked fierce. How could they survive on five hundred yuan?

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing. I've already chosen someone." Zhou Yang said helplessly. They were on different wavelengths, and further discussion would only lead to more jokes.

"Name: Ma Xiaoling.

Identity: 40th generation descendant of the Ma family in the 'My Date with a Zombie' world."

"Miss Ma, I'll pay you fifty value points to take the job." Zhou Yang said. Since the system announcement had been issued, he had to pay 100 value points. To maintain the reputation of the Multiverse Tower, he didn't choose to pay only ten thousand yuan.

"Sure." Ma Xiaoling smiled.

"Wang Xiaoer, a thousand yuan, right? I'll give you fifty value points. Can you go with Miss Ma?" Zhou Yang asked.

"Sure, of course." Wang Xiaoer was excited. The owner of the Multiverse Tower was really a tycoon.

"The Multiverse Tower will only recruit these two. I'm sorry to the rest of you." Zhou Yang said apologetically. He decided to only let the two with the highest Taoist skills go, as ghosts were too unpredictable.

If some weaker Taoists were possessed by ghosts, he might not be able to save them in time and send them back to the Multiverse Tower.

"Wait, owner, we'll go for free." Shi Fatzi and Yin Shisan ran to Zhou Yang. After inquiring, they found that these people were from different worlds. The owner of the Multiverse Tower must be incredibly powerful, and they needed to get close to him.

"We'll go for free too." Wen Cai looked at the beautiful woman with shining eyes. Catching ghosts with such a beautiful woman would be a great experience.

Uncle Jiu looked at Wen Cai helplessly and agreed to go.

Zhou Yang was even more helpless. Since they had offered to go for free, he couldn't say they weren't skilled enough and refuse them.

Seeing that some others were also interested, Zhou Yang said, "The Multiverse Tower buys second-hand zombies and ghosts at high prices. The more you bring, the better the price."

"You've seen the precious herbs upstairs. As long as you catch enough ghosts, you can exchange them. Hurry up, or they might be sold out."

Whoosh!

In an instant, black shadows flashed, and only a few people remained in the Multiverse Tower.
