As the year passed, news of the change of president of the Chamber of Commerce in Guishi, the provincial capital, spread like wildfire throughout the entire area.
"Even the mysterious commercial street in the provincial capital can change hands one day?"
"I heard it's the work of the new president of Red City. Tsk tsk, two four-star Ghost City commercial streets. Our district is about to become famous!"
"You know what, I've heard some other things too."
A few mischievous individuals gathered in a small tavern, excitedly discussing something.
"As soon as the new president of the provincial association took office, he arranged some new activities. The competition starts promptly at 10 pm every night, and you can place bets. The odds are particularly high, but..."
"They've just implemented a new type of currency there, what's it called..."
"Los Angeles currency!"
"Yes, it's Los Angeles currency!" the little ghost said decisively. "Los Angeles currency is very valuable. It can be used as ghost money in the Ghost Market, and it can also be exchanged for ghost money in the Ghost Market in the provincial capital and Hongcheng City. The exchange rate is one to ten. One Los Angeles currency is worth ten ghost money. They can be converted between each other. Tsk tsk, look!"
The little ghost proudly raised its chin, took out a one-yuan Luo City coin, and waved it in front of all the ghosts, drawing envy from the surrounding ghosts.
"This is what I won last night in the Guishi Commercial Street of the provincial capital. It was incredibly exciting."
"Last night, even the former chairman personally participated, and guess what happened?"
"What's going on?" The other little ghosts were clearly stirred up, and even the ghosts in the surrounding area came over to listen to the excitement.
"What else could it be? The former president was not only incredibly incompetent, but he was also originally a fathead fish!"
"I got a good beating last night; the gills even came out."
"If I had known that monster was so weak, I would have tried to take over the Ghost Market Street earlier!"
"Hahaha, come on, you've only just stepped into the range of a one-star monster and you're already thinking about a three-star monster dungeon? Wake up, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the other strange creatures in the tavern burst into laughter, mocking the one in question.
"I have to say, that new president is quite shrewd; he's handling the ghost money like it's free..."
"What, still thinking about stealing? Didn't you see that of the strange creatures invited on New Year's Eve, apart from the few in the arena of the strange market in the provincial capital, the others have all disappeared?"
"Haha, how could that be? That lord is incredibly powerful, appearing and disappearing like a dragon. Even if he wanted to steal from someone, he wouldn't know where to go to steal from."
"However, this new president is truly mysterious. He has rarely been seen by ghosts, and we don't even know if he is male or female, or old or young!"
“Actually, speaking of this, I really have some knowledge of it.” One of the little ghosts who was drinking and eating melons came over, holding a wine bowl and said mysteriously, “I heard that the new president has a green face and fangs, three heads and six arms, and he can wipe out all the ghosts in the venue with a single breath!”
"No, no, the information you heard is wrong!" Another little ghost came over, shaking his head repeatedly in objection. "My information, firsthand information, is absolutely accurate!"
"She wasn't some fierce-looking monster, but a young and beautiful woman who loved roses and looked every bit the Rose Queen!"
"Hey, come on, this news sounds fake! You should listen to what I have to say."
The newly promoted one-star monster, who had just pulled out the Los Angeles coin, said confidently, "The new guild leader is a glutton. I heard he eats several tons of food a day. He's a... big fatso!"
"Your information is outdated. According to the latest news I've received, the rumor is that the newly appointed president of the provincial capital's chamber of commerce and the Hongcheng city's chamber of commerce is a human!"
"Humans?"
"How is this possible!"
A human has become the boss of a four-star mysterious market? Who would believe that?!
Which human being could casually pull out 500,000 ghost money? That's absurd!
"Even so, I'd rather believe the new guild leader is a lucky wandering ghost than believe he's human!"
In the small tavern, everyone was talking at once, and once they started, they couldn't stop, especially since it was the biggest gossip recently.
The fact that the two commercial streets changed hands one after the other, seemingly by the same owner, is a rare occurrence in the history of ghost stories!
"Hey, you're all talking about that chairman, but I have some inside information."
"The Ghost Market Street in the provincial capital will auction off the Rejuvenation Elixir on the Lantern Festival!"
Rejuvenating fluid?!
Upon hearing this, the entire tavern seemed to be paused, the frozen scene filled with the astonished expressions of the crowd.
A dozen minutes later.
"Brother Gui, is this really true?"
The creature that had previously flaunted its Los Angeles currency looked at its companion with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, its voice trembling without it even realizing it.
"Cough cough."
Upon hearing the question from the little ghost, the little ghost seemed particularly smug. He glanced at the wine pot, and the other ghosts, understanding the situation, filled it to the brim.
"It's genuine, of course!"
"My second uncle's nephew's son-in-law's sister-in-law is a laborer for a merchant in the Guishi Commercial Street. I heard that from her!"
"And what she meant was that it wasn't just one bottle!"
"It seems like they'll be holding a carnival every month and a half from now on, and each time there'll be an auction for a bottle of resurrection potion!"
This news was like a bomb dropped into the desert, instantly causing a sandstorm to sweep across the land and making the wind blinding.
"Goodness, it happens every month?"
"Not only that, it seems they've also introduced a membership system, but this membership seems to require Los Angeles coins to purchase, and you also need to be a member to qualify for the auction of the Rejuvenation Elixir."
Before he could even catch his breath, the strange creatures in the tavern dispersed and rushed towards the ghost market in the provincial capital at top speed.
A membership system requiring Los Angeles Coins to purchase the Rejuvenation Elixir—only members are eligible to buy it! This is absolutely incredible news!
In a short time, under Su Luo's intentional or unintentional guidance, the concept of Los Angeles currency began to take root and grow in this region.
These past few days, Su Luo has spent almost all his time in the Guishi Commercial Street of the provincial capital.
She knew that the former president had more than just the few Rejuvenating Herbs the pharmacy owner had, but she never expected there to be so many!
A dozen or so Rejuvenating Herbs were quietly preserved in a warehouse inside the Guishi Commercial Street.
Having learned from the previous experience, the former president simply moved the Rejuvenating Grass back from the warehouse at the planting site without even reporting it to his superiors, which conveniently benefited Su Luo.
The Rejuvenation Elixir is indeed a good business. The fact that the former chairman could produce so much Rejuvenation Grass in such a short time after she destroyed the industrial park's warehouse shows he has some skill.
After some questioning, it turned out that they had fed the animal too much fertilizer, and even fed it some helpless, lonely ghosts and monsters.
Lonely spirits and ghosts?
"So, the blood of the strange creature can also nourish it?"
Fathead Fish: No, I've said so much, but you really know how to get to the point!
