Chapter 54: Working Toad

This golden toad should be a lucky toad that has cultivated for a hundred years. With its current cultivation level, it should be able to help people make some extra money worth less than ten thousand yuan.

But this kind of kowtow was passive...Qi Gu had never heard of it before.

I have never heard of such a strange direction of practice.

Qi Gu closed his eyes, then opened them again to look at the thread on the golden toad.

Soon, they discovered that there was a thick red silk thread extending from the top of the golden toad's head, heading towards the dark sky, with no end in sight.

Qi Gu stretched out his hand and fiddled with it gently, isolating the red line from the golden toad's perception.

As a result, Mu Xingchen's knees, which had just softened, immediately straightened up again and stood upright.

This was within Qi Gu's expectations, so he just lowered his eyes and asked calmly: "You have practiced for a hundred years, and you have never done any evil in these hundred years. You should be worshipped by someone at home. Why didn't you work there later?"

The golden toad kowtowed with its triangular head shaking: "Great Lord, it is true. I have never done anything evil. Since I started practicing, I have been exerting my subjective initiative and talent to give those people whose fortunes are temporarily down but whose character is not bad a little extra money to help them get through the trough as soon as possible... But you know, it is really troublesome to do odd jobs. I have to start from the beginning every time to test the boss's character, so I simply found a family with good deeds and signed a long-term labor contract with them. They are responsible for the offerings, and I will bless their family to be stable and wealthy, and get better and better."

"But I don't know since when, I suddenly had a debuff that made people want to kowtow to me uncontrollably. The son of that family kowtowed to me non-stop and his head was broken. Oh, what a thing! I watched that child grow up, and I even held him in my arms when he was a child... Anyway, they couldn't stay with that family anymore. They thought I was invaded by evil spirits and had a bad character, so they found a master to take me away. I heard the master say that he wanted to kill me and make me into a lucky charm, so I was so scared that I quickly ran away. I didn't dare to go to the city, for fear that others would kowtow to me too, so I came to the sparsely populated Qingji Mountain and usually lived in a long-abandoned shrine. I was afraid that passers-by would think that I was a rare golden toad, so I turned myself into the appearance of a statue." The Golden Toad told his past in one breath without reservation.

Then he looked at Qi Gu with a pair of bulging eyes expectantly: "Master, everything I said is true! My own ability is really only able to help humans get a little extra money within 10,000 yuan. I am also the victim in the matter of kowtowing!"

[Extraordinary wealth within 10,000 yuan... Such a niche text]

[You are not a big frog, you can really make people rich]

[Gugu, it’s just a frog, what can it do wrong! 】

[Oh my god, please bless me, thank you, 108 good frogs! 】

[Damn it, I recognized this as my frog at first sight, give my frog back to me! 】

[I'm sorry, Brother Frog. I was rude just now. I really didn't mean to mock you. I'm kowtow to you now. Can you arrange that extra income for me? 】

[No, you guys... your ability to accept things is getting better and better. You're not even shocked when you see a monster. You just slide down to your knees, right?]

[Brother Frog is born with golden glow, tall and mighty. In my eyes, there is no difference between him and the real god living in the shrine. As long as you can make me a little fortune, you will be my God! 】

The golden toad was still complaining in grief and anger: "Really? I was a toad that was worshipped and lived a good life, but how come I was suddenly given this kind of debuff? Now I, a respectable toad, can only live in this desolate wilderness, hungry and cold, and I have to listen to those ghosts screaming in my ears every day!"

At this moment, the staff present were eager to try, looking forward to seeing Qi Gu: "Master Qi, can we ask it for wealth? Will it lead to any bad consequences?"

"That won't happen. The Golden Toad Clan has this kind of talent. However, its ability to make money only falls on good people... For those who have done evil or are ordinary people, it will be useless even if they pray a hundred times." Qi Gu knew that the audience must have gone crazy by now, so he reminded them in a light tone.

When the staff heard this, they immediately put their hands together and prayed to the golden toad, taking a chance.

Since there would be no side effects, Qi Gu went with them.

Compared to the golden toad, he cared more about the source of the red line. Qi Gu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but he couldn't see clearly where it came from.

On the other side, Lin Hanzhi stood with his arms folded, while the others were already making wishes and praying to the golden toad out of curiosity/love of money.

"Why don't you go?" Qi Gu asked.

Lin Hanzhi: "We have a small fortune at home, so let's leave this extra money to those who need it more."

For example...Pubugesang who rushed out like an arrow.

"What about you, why don't you go?"

Qi Gu: "It's a physical problem. Don't keep money. If you have too much money, it's easy to get into trouble."

An absurd guess came to Lin Hanzhi's mind: "When you say this much, how much do you mean?"

"Five thousand."

Lin Hanzhi:? ? ?

An expression of disbelief flashed on his handsome pale face. It was the first time in his life that he had met Qiong Cheng Qi Gu like this.

Immediately, when he looked at Qi Gu, a variety of complex emotions flashed across his eyes, including heartache, pity, and surprise.

On the other side, the golden toad, which had not been surrounded by people for a long time, also became excited. It jumped to the top of the shrine with great elasticity, then raised its paw, straightened its chest and began to point out the situation.

"You can make a windfall of 5,000 yuan, so I'll arrange it as a lottery ticket for you."

"You have a hundred, just pick up the money."

"You don't have any luck with making money, next one!"

…

The golden toad was full of vigor and vitality. After instructing the other staff members, he looked at Qi Gu, wanting to curry favor with the master who had restored his debuff: "Master Qi, you have great spiritual power and a good fate... well, a bad fate, without any luck in making money, you will be poor in this life."

Jin Chan covered his mouth as he blurted out the words subconsciously, "I, I, I, I, I, that's not what I meant!"

"I am... I am..." Jin Chan was so anxious that the mucus on the surface of his skin was about to come out. He was sweating profusely, fearing that if Qi Gu was unhappy, his life as a toad would come to an end.

[No, Brother Frog, I want to talk about you and your emotional intelligence! 】

[Oh my god, this might affect my career.]

[No...are you worried about something when you say that? Or did you make an appointment with the King of Hell to report tonight?]

[But what Brother Frog said seemed to be true. Qi Gu did say that he had been unlucky since he was a child. He was indeed the type with a bad fate.]

Qi Gu was stabbed countless times. He pinched Jin Chan's mouth, which was still opening and closing to try to mend his ways, and shut it manually: "Alright, stop talking. How about this, you come back to Fu'ai Temple with me, and you will be in charge of the front desk reception work at the Taoist temple from now on. Your salary will be paid by the incense offerings from the pilgrims."

In this way, there is a free front desk.

Jin Chan was not at all upset about being treated for free. Instead, his eyes were blazing and his tone was as excited as if he had picked up a million dollars: "Incense!"

That's the incense in the Taoist temple. Compared with the offerings from a human family, there is a world of difference!

How could a golden toad that has only practiced for a hundred years deserve to receive offerings and incense from a Taoist temple?

The golden toad's gaze towards Qi Gu immediately became more flattering and docile, and the flattery of a working frog was immediately revealed in it.

"I understand, Master Qi. I will work hard in the future and strive to become the best employee of the Taoist temple! Thank you for not caring about my reckless offense just now and being willing to promote me..." Jin Chan was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears.

[Brother Frog, I still like your rebellious look just now]

[Everyone at the scene has been arranged. Is it my turn to get extra money now?]

[I guess I have to go there on site. I have already bought the tickets, so a trip to Fuai Temple is a must! 】

[Yes, from now on, even if Brother Frog is hanging there, it would be nice to go over and pay him a visit and get some extra money.]

[Okay, I really have to go to this Fu'ai Temple (open the high-speed rail software jpg)]

[Wait, how come there are no more tickets... Are you animals? Your fingers are so fast.]

[The water of West Lake, my tears~]

「Ahhhhh~」

[No, why is it still being sung? Don’t you know that third-party software also has transfer tickets? 】

[Why are you rushing to buy tickets? Just stand there!] 】

…

Qi Gu threw the golden toad, which was talking eloquently, to Mu Xingchen and asked him to hold it.

Mu Xingchen hurriedly held the golden toad in his arms and said, "Hello, hello. I am Master Qi's eldest disciple. We will both be members of Fu'ai Temple from now on. Let's get to know each other in advance."

Jin Chan originally had no extra feelings towards Mu Xingchen, but when he heard that Mu Xingchen was Qi Gu's personal disciple, he immediately stretched out his little claws and grabbed Mu Xingchen's little finger and shook it: "Hello, hello, you can just call me Little Frog, I'll need your care in the future."

Beside Qi Gu, Lin Hanzhi looked unhappy. She took out a wet wipe from her bag and slapped it on Qi Gu's palm. It felt moist and slightly cool, which made Qi Gu stunned.

But before he could react, Lin Hanzhi's fingertips were pressed against the wet towel and interlocked with his fingers, carefully wiping his fair hands clean. There was an indescribable domineering tone in her movements.

Qi Gu originally felt that this seemed a bit strange, but... it seemed quite comfortable not having to wipe his hands himself, so he just let Lin Hanzhi do it.

Just when Qi Gu felt that it was almost done and wanted to withdraw his hand, Lin Hanzhi grabbed his thin and fair wrist more firmly and said without allowing any objection: "Wipe it again."

When saying this, Lin Hanzhi's eyes were like cold stars, very determined.

Qi Gu looked at the handsome face of the man opposite him, and his slender fingertips intertwined on his wrist, and paused: "Oh, thank you."

On the side, Jin Chan, who was treated as a dirty thing that needed to be wiped after being touched, dared not speak out. He looked into each other's eyes, lowered his voice, put his paws to his mouth and asked Mu Xingchen: "Is this handsome guy the master's wife?"

Mu Xingchen: “…………?”

What a weird question! Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Seeing Mu Xingchen's reaction, Jin Chan smiled kindly and said, "Forget it, it's none of your business. Go play somewhere else, be good."

Mu Xingchen:? ? ?

[Wow, Brother Frog is really capable. You’re really good at fighting. I’ll follow you from now on! 】

[I am dying of laughter, little Mu baby you are so stupid]

【Baby, you are a silly beauty】

[Hahahahahaha, Brother Frog, you are so open-minded. Even the male bronze knows about it.]

[Qi Gu's thank you was really a perfect one, instantly destroying the ambiguity]

[He is a really straight man, his train of thought is really crazy]

[Don’t you think that emotional inertness 0 is pretty good? After being kissed, I thought Brother Lin was thirsty.]

[It’s not you upstairs…]

[You are a cult, you are doing it the wrong way, sister! 】

[Brother Lin is definitely a hidden talent. Haven’t you noticed that he naturally exudes a somewhat s-like aura with his every move? Although he can obviously feel that he has restrained himself, there is still a lot of inner feeling, just like when he grabbed his hand just now, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, which was very lustful.】

[Vocal, the guy above, are you risking your life to be so good at singing? 】

[This description makes people feel uncomfortable, and it is easy to make associations (towards fingers)]
