“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...
The matchstick girl sensed Xia Tianqiong and suddenly turned around, her big eyes filled with tears.
Snowflakes were falling heavily on her head, seemingly larger than before, making her shiver with cold.
She suddenly took a few quick steps and ran over, saying, "Big brother, I missed you so much."
"Your brother misses you too."
Xia Tianqiong crouched down and reached out to brush the snowflakes from her hair. "Are you still so cold?"
The matchstick girl suddenly looked around furtively, then leaned close to Xia Tianqiong's ear and whispered, "Big brother, I'm so powerful now! I can control the snowflakes on my head, and I'm not cold anymore."
Xia Tianqiong raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Why do you still look like you're trembling?"
"Hehe, Sister Song told me to pretend to be very cold, saying that more people would buy my matches that way."
"Alright, she really is a competent businesswoman."
Xia Tianqiong shook his head and chuckled. This Song Shiqiao is truly a talent.
Not only did it add many business projects to the floating city, it also put the contract ghosts, which were not usually very useful, to good use.
"Big brother, here are some matches for you to keep."
The match girl stuffed all the matches in her hand into Xia Tianqiong's hand, and then took out many more from her pocket. "The red ones can ignite eerie fire, the black ones can communicate with the dead, and the white ones can make wishes."
Xia Tianqiong did not refuse the girl's offer and accepted it with a smile.
He knew a lot about these matches; he had bought quite a few in his previous life.
Take the wishing match, for example. When lit, it can bring to life the scene you've been dreaming of, and there's a chance that the things in the dream will become real.
For example, if you wish to eat at a restaurant, there is a chance that the food will materialize.
The simpler the wish, the higher the probability of it coming true.
Summer Qiong held the matchstick girl's hand as they strolled around the amusement park, asking her to give him a tour.
At this time, the amusement park not only has barbecue stalls, animal shows, and an aquarium, but also a snow park and a wishing shrine.
The Ice and Snow Paradise uses the power of the Snow Demon to create a world of ice and snow.
Guests build snowmen inside, and the snowmen can transform into sentient creatures that can be kept as pets and possess a slight aggressive nature, making them very popular with women and children.
As for the wishing temple, it was naturally built using Buddha statues.
When Xia Tianqiong returned last time, she left the Buddha statue behind, but unexpectedly, Song Shiqiao put it to good use so quickly.
Guests can exchange lifespan or ghost money for amulets and low-level magic spells in the Buddhist hall.
The entire amusement park was bustling with activity.
After wandering around for a while, Xia Tianqiong parted ways with the matchstick girl, then teleported to the office area and found the takeout ghost.
Tell him to convene a meeting of key members.
A few minutes later, more than thirty figures gathered in an antique courtyard.
All twelve cunning generals were present; they represented the highest combat strength and sat on the left.
On the right are Song Shiqiao, Jiang Yu, Chu Xu, and Qiu Ziren, who represent humanity here.
The middle group has the most members, including the delivery ghost, the mirror ghost, the gambling ghost, the baby tree ghost, the game ghost, Huang Yu, the red-clothed courtesan, Lao Bai, Xiao Yi, Xiao Ba, and so on. They all hold important positions and can be considered representatives of the management team.
Xia Tianqiong sat at the very front, looking at them with eyes full of approval.
"Foreigner, tell me about your achievements over the past few months!"
"Yes, Master."
The delivery guy immediately stood up, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and began to read it aloud in a lighthearted tone.
"It took a total of two and a half months to liberate all towns and cities in the country and capture a total of 416,000 strange creatures, of which more than 125,000 were to be handed over to the Wujian Restaurant."
Of the remaining 290,000 strange creatures, 260,000 have been put into the Strange Creature Transformation Pool, producing 25 million liters of red spiritual liquid.
There are still 30,000 strange creatures waiting to be contracted by their masters. Among these strange creatures, there are more than 200 fierce strange creatures, more than 3,000 malevolent strange creatures, and the rest are strange creatures of various levels.
The reason so many low-level anomalies were left behind is because they each had their own characteristics; some could materialize strange artifacts, while others possessed relatively rare techniques.
The delivery guy paused for a moment, then looked at Xia Tianqiong.
Sure enough, he saw a hint of surprise on the other person's face, and immediately felt joyful as well.
He continued, "The above is the harvest from the capture of the supernatural. This time, we seized a large amount of ghost money in various places, totaling more than 37 billion, of which 70% came from the confiscation of the property of ancient families."
In addition, countless supplies of various kinds were scattered throughout the country and had not been confiscated. Apart from the capital, the vast majority of ghost hunters across the country are now under our control. This concludes the spoils of this mission.
For Xia Tianqiong's contracted ghost, this operation was just a mission.
Xia Tianqiong gradually developed the habits of someone in a superior position, sitting there steadily and speaking like a leader.
"The ghost money and supplies collected from various places are all used in those places; we don't lack those things. If the people in various places become rich, our business in the floating city will also be better."
"Understood, I will carry it out." The delivery guy nodded immediately in response.
Xia Tianqiong looked around, his eyes filled with appreciation. "Everyone has put in effort and taken action, so I will naturally not treat you unfairly. Next, I will reward you according to the rules."
Over time, the food delivery companies have established a corresponding reward system with standardized amounts for each order.
However, since Xia Tianqiong said it herself, it means there is an extra reward.
The crowd of ghosts and ordinary people present were filled with anticipation, their gazes towards Xia Tianqiong burning with excitement.
The next moment, he raised his hand and waved it, and a large number of precious spiritual fruits and top-grade spiritual wines appeared on the scene.
There are over a hundred jade tree hearts, hundreds of Enlightenment Fruits, and hundreds or even thousands of other rare spiritual fruits.
These were all cultivated during the time Xiaotao used time acceleration.
Of course, not all of these wonderful things will be given to everyone present; they will also be distributed to other contracted ghosts or humans who have made contributions.
While Xia Tianqiong was holding a meeting, someone in the floating city was causing trouble.
In a certain alley, a furtive figure, seeing that no one was around, suddenly took out a strange disc from his pocket.
The man's eyes were filled with venom as he muttered to himself, "You wiped out my entire Wang family, I will make you and everything you have pay with your life!"
After saying that, he threw the strange disc into the air with all his might.
The next moment, a deafening roar was heard, and the disc exploded.
Strangely, the explosion did not produce a shockwave, nor did it damage any buildings on the ground.
But it tore space apart.
Countless people in the city looked up at the sky and saw that the sky seemed to be torn apart by a pair of invisible hands, creating a huge spatial rift.
The crack was pitch black and expanded rapidly, even the array on the floating city could not stop it.
The spatial rift grew larger and larger, eventually becoming larger than the entire floating city.
Just then, the crack, like a giant mouth, suddenly swallowed the entire floating city whole.
The people in the city felt the sky suddenly turn black, and then they felt weightless.
The floating city is actually falling!
