Chapter 126 Ghost Market Ping Sha Town Exploration Team

"...Cough cough cough!" This was quite a shock. Meng An choked on his own saliva and exclaimed, "He was transferred from headquarters to recuperate because of his injuries! Holy crap, brother, you're actually from headquarters! No, does our Ghost City really have a headquarters?!"

"What headquarters?!"

"What are you guys saying, Amon? Let us hear it too."

Meng An's noise attracted the attention of the masked men who hadn't paid much attention to the newcomers. Some of them clung to Meng An and peered over, trying to touch the jade pendant.

Newcomers can gradually develop rapport; after one trip together, everyone will be fairly familiar with each other. But does the Ghost Market really have a headquarters?

"Asa!" Meng An, abandoning his usual calm demeanor in front of the newcomer, threw the person off his shoulder with a quick and skillful over-the-shoulder throw. "I'm talking business!"

"Stop causing trouble! Go back and look at your projection stones!"

Then, as if nothing had happened, he put away his jade pendant and was about to hand Su Yu's piece back to him.

The man who had been thrown to the ground seemed used to it. After rolling to dissipate the impact, he dusted himself off and stood up. Then, he put his arm around his colleague and said mischievously, "Look at our Brother Meng! Oh dear~ We only hear the laughter of the new, but never the tears of the old!"

These words drew laughter from the people nearby.

Asa took the opportunity to slip into the area between Su Yu and Meng An. His round, bright eyes, visible behind his mask, were full of curiosity.

"You really are from headquarters? Where is headquarters? What does it look like? Tell me about it. You can just follow me on the exploration afterwards... Hey, Amon! Why didn't you guys stop them? You have no teamwork at all!"

He was only halfway through his sentence when Meng An grabbed his shoulder and pushed him aside again, returning him to his colleague's embrace.

Su Yu hesitated and slowly lowered her hand, which was about to reach out and take the jade pendant.

But Meng An slapped the jade pendant into his hand and put it away. Then, two hearty laughs came from behind his mask: "Ah, hahaha, Brother Feng Jiu, don't be offended. Our exploration team members are all quite lively, hahaha..."

"We're all from the Ghost Market, so it's good that Brother Feng Jiu is here just like before, haha..."

Meng An chuckled twice, then suddenly lowered his voice, leaned closer to Su Yu, and whispered, "Hey, brother, are you really from headquarters? Can you tell us a little something..."

He rubbed his fingers together, his face behind the mask making faces. "We've never known where headquarters is. We can't even get any news about headquarters if we want to work hard."

Su Yu paused for a moment, then raised her index finger and pointed upwards.

He couldn't very well say that the real headquarters of the Ghost Market was in the Demon Realm.

Meng An nodded, understanding. It was in the Upper Spirit Realm, so he couldn't say more.

Although it was a bit of a pity that he couldn't know more, Meng An didn't press further. After completing the rejoining process, he took Su Yu to familiarize herself with the routes within the base, including the canteen, dormitory, and training grounds.

Meng An also took Su Yu to see their cargo storage area.

Su Yu had already put on the cheerful persona he had created for himself, and on the way back, he struck up a conversation: "Amon, how many people are there in our base? I've only seen people in the lobby all the way here."

Meng An replied, "Including you, there are now thirty-two people in total. The others have entered the Stormy Sand Sea, and those who remain are the ones who were injured before."

"The projection stone we saw earlier showed a scene of a team in the stormy sand sea. They were the first to go in, and they were almost finished returning."

"Ajiu, you can rest well at the camp these few days. You can also wander around Pingsha Town. There's no rush to go on a mission."

Su Yu wanted to chat a bit more, but Meng An kept nagging and instructing him, so he barely had a chance to interject.

"By the way, we're not eating at the cafeteria tonight, we're having a barbecue feast. It's getting late, Ajiu, come with me."

“Great!” Su Yu readily agreed. “I’m so lucky to have such a feast right away.”

Meng An laughed twice. He wanted to pat Su Yu on the shoulder, but he suddenly remembered that Su Yu was a big shot from headquarters who had come to them to recuperate after being injured. Unlike the tough newbies he had met before, he silently turned his hand away and scratched his own head.

Sigh, Feng Jiu seems quite easy to talk to; I almost forgot about this.

"Okay, let's go then."

Perhaps due to their proximity to the stormy sands, the members of the Ghost Market Exploration Team in Pingsha Town are mostly bold and cheerful, or rather, they are generally a bit naive when it comes to things outside of missions.

In the time it takes to eat a meal, the remaining wounded soldiers were already able to put their arms around Su Yu without any hesitation.

After dinner, everyone gradually returned to their dormitories, which were simple single rooms with quite spacious interiors.

When Su Yu arrived at her dormitory, the smile that had been on her face slowly faded.

Because the ghost market's official business had come knocking on its door again.

Although he was missing in the Demon Realm, he still acted as the Ghost Lord after coming to the Spirit Realm, so the Ghost Market in the Demon Realm was well aware that their Ghost Lord was perfectly fine.

Therefore, official business that required his attention at higher levels was delivered to him via teleportation talismans as usual.

His damn ambition—if he hadn't made those reforms back then, I wonder how much trouble he could have avoided.

It really delayed his reunion with A Yao.

Su Yu gritted her teeth and stayed up all night reviewing documents. Xiao Qi shrank back silently, feeling that her host's current state was similar to when it was doing homework during its previous training.

It absolutely cannot be disturbed, or it will explode.

Then it went to find 236 to play games online.

As dawn broke, Su Yu received a system message from her colleague You Fujun.

He pulled himself out of the documents and looked at the system's team-up channel.

Then the Time Management Bureau's high-tech map location appeared on the screen.

He remembered that this was just a matter of getting somewhere quickly.

Is this Ah Yao's... accident-prone nature as the protagonist?

Su Yu pinched the bridge of her nose, tidied up the documents she had already processed, and quickly came up with a reason for appearing at the scene later.

As members of the Ghost Market Exploration Team, they transported supplies from the Fansu Ghost Market to the Pingsha Town Exploration Team.

He made up his own excuses and then justified them.

With a blank expression, Su Yu sent a message to Meng An, the only person who knew his fake identity well enough to tell him that he was new to the area and that his former superior had given him some supplies to improve his life in Pingsha Town under the guise of the Fan Su Ghost Market. He, Feng Jiu, was going to bring them to him personally and would arrive in a few days.

As for where these supplies actually came from.

Haha, of course it was taken from his own secret stash of money.

Anyway, the exploration team is still part of the Ghost Market's influence, so it's not a loss for them.
