“Sir, your food delivery.”
“I… didn’t order it… Oh, thanks.”
Two minutes later. “Sir, wrong delivery. Please return it back to me.”
“I’ve already ea...
"A trick to make people happy?"
Xia Tianqiong looked at the takeout ghost with curiosity, "Show us the effect."
The delivery guy seemed a little hesitant, as if he was embarrassed.
But since the summer sky allowed it to use its abilities, it couldn't refuse.
He glanced around, then his gaze finally settled on Xiao Ba's face.
With a slight smile and without making any visible movement, Xiao Ba suddenly burst into laughter.
It's the kind of hearty laughter, a very happy laugh, and it's extremely infectious.
Xiao Ba laughed so hard he was doubled over, his body trembling.
The group of ghosts were stunned, then realized that this was a kind of trick that could make people laugh.
"Hahaha...I...can't...stop...hahaha...!"
Xiao Ba was smiling, but his eyes were filled with pain.
It cannot control itself.
"This trick is quite interesting!"
Xia Tianqiong found it interesting; she hadn't expected such a strange trick to exist.
The deliveryman said shamefully, "Unfortunately, this trick has no offensive capabilities and cannot help the master fight."
Xia Tianqiong comforted her, "Who says it's not aggressive? Making someone laugh is also a kind of torture, and sometimes it can have a special effect."
Suddenly, the gambling ghost thought of something and nodded in agreement, "Next time we want to make a certain monster submit, we don't need to use those dirty tricks. We can just let it keep laughing until it submits. I think this trick is particularly suitable for the delivery ghost."
The human-headed dog's face suddenly darkened, as if it were recalling a painful experience.
It glared fiercely at the delivery ghost, "This trick is indeed a perfect match for you."
Huang Yu also praised it, saying, "It's a very good trick. It doesn't require any movement to perform, making it impossible to defend against."
Seeing everyone's reaction, the delivery ghost became happy and said, "Master, let's name this trick!"
Before Xia Tianqiong could speak, the Hanging Ghost spoke first, "I've thought of a very, very good name, how about 'The Unstoppable Laughter Technique'? Isn't it simple and clear?"
After saying this, the hanged ghost still had a look on his face that seemed to be asking for praise.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Huang Yu laughed and said, "It would be better to call it 'Laughing to Death Without Paying the Price'!"
The gambling charlatan also got involved, saying, "I think 'the art of laughing to death' is more suitable."
Everyone chimed in with their own ideas, coming up with many names, but in the end, no one could convince anyone else.
The delivery ghost was very happy. Although it was still the lowest level wild ghost, it had gained another trick and could help its master more in the future.
"Master, you should decide!"
Xia Tianqiong had been eating, but now that she had put down her chopsticks, she looked at the harmonious atmosphere among the ghosts and felt quite at ease.
"It's just a name, let's call it 'A Happy Smile'!"
"A good name is still best suited to its owner."
The first trick of food delivery is flattery.
The "Death by Gambler" trick followed closely behind, and it's now constantly imitating the "Takeout Trick".
"Our master got up well; he's much better than us."
The human-headed dog rolled its eyes, looking displeased, and muttered, "Two sycophantic devils!"
"Flatterer Ghost" is a nickname Xiao Ba gave to the delivery ghost, and it has already spread among all the contract ghosts.
"Hahaha... Can you... haha... let me stop... hahaha!"
Xiao Ba has been laughing for three or four minutes now.
His face was contorted with laughter, and he looked like he was in great pain.
Xia Tianqiong was slightly surprised and asked the delivery guy, "How long can this trick last after one use?"
The delivery guy was about to answer instinctively, but then paused and said, "I'm not really sure either. After all, I just acquired the trickery and don't understand it very well yet."
"I see!"
Xia Tianqiong thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Ba, "Xiao Ba, hang in there and see how long this trick can last. When it's over, go to the delivery guy to collect your reward."
Little Hachi was on the verge of tears. It would rather not receive the reward than keep laughing.
It's just too torturous and bizarre.
The meal lasted a long time, and everyone was very happy. Xia Tianqiong also felt that such group meals could be held more often in the future, as they would help promote everyone's relationship.
For example, Xiao Ba's gaze towards takeout food is now much more intense than before.
After finishing his meal, Xia Tianqiong collected all the ghosts into the mirror space, took the ghost infant into his body, and then teleported to the first basement level.
Upon arriving here, I was struck by the bustling scene.
The vast basement level was filled with eerie long queues, one after another, roughly estimated to be over a hundred eerie creatures.
Most of them came to get loans, while a small number came to buy or sell strange items.
After renovation, the entire basement level is both classic and luxurious, giving people a high-end and classy feeling.
Xia Tianqiong's original idea was to open a general store and a loan service window, but after handing it over to Song Shiqiao, she also opened a small bar.
The drinks are purchased from Wujian Restaurant and sold at a reasonable price. The bar also offers some snacks.
The purpose of opening the bar is not to make money, but to provide a place for strange guests to rest and relax temporarily.
Xia Tianqiong arrived at the room where loan applications were processed and squeezed through a group of strange people.
This immediately drew a wave of dissatisfaction.
"Damn humans, what are you pushing for? Get in line at the back!"
"What are you looking at? Believe me or not, I'll eat you up."
"Is this a place fit for humans? Get out!"
A host of eerie creatures were eyeing them menacingly; if it weren't for the restaurant's rules prohibiting them from making any moves, they would have already used their death rules.
"What's all the noise about? This is my boss! If you don't want a loan, get out!"
Song Shiqiao's clear voice suddenly rang out, and all the strange creatures immediately fell silent, none daring to utter a sound.
