The moment that ghost money was taken out, the world seemed to be put on pause.
Ten thousand ghost money!
This is an incredibly rare treasure, practically a fairy tale, especially in a low-level dungeon like the bus game.
Watching Su Luo place the ghost money into the ticket box, he then said calmly, "Ten thousand ghost money, ten thousand passengers. If that's not enough, we can add more."
"I'll rent this car."
'Crunch.'
The driver slammed on the brakes, turned around in surprise, and looked at Su Luo uncertainly, "Madam, is what you're saying true?"
"Really, it's more real than real gold, isn't it, hearse owner?"
These words seemed to be addressed to the driver, but Su Luo's gaze never left the ticket box held in the fat woman's hands.
Who says that the bosses in eerie dungeons can only be humanoid monsters?
silence.
Or rather, a deathly silence.
The ticket box, which was considered the boss, did not immediately respond to Su Luo. The other passengers on the bus, including the driver, did not immediately refute or make a move. They simply listened as Su Luo calmly and even with a strange sense of excitement explained all the rules of the bus.
A one-star bizarre dungeon doesn't have many rules; usually, there are only one or two. From the passengers who got on and off the bus, Su Luo roughly deduced the rules of this bus.
First, you need to pay with coins to board. No money? Goodbye.
Secondly, no matter where you board the bus, you can only get off at the final stop; otherwise, your soul will remain on that bus forever.
The first rule is actually easy to crack; a mere one yuan of ghost money can be obtained in this eerie world with a little effort. The key is the second rule.
Only then did Su Luo realize why the starting and ending stations on the bus's windshield were unclear—because…
It doesn't have a starting station or a destination station at all; someone has to define the starting station or destination station themselves!
This is the only way out for passengers in this instance.
However, the price to fill in the destination yourself is definitely not small. Su Luo might have had to pay a price in his previous life, but Su Luo only needs to pay a little bit of ghost money in this life.
It's just a little bit of ghost money.
"So, the final stop and the starting stop..." After saying that, Su Luo took out ten 10,000 yuan ghost money bills from his pocket again, a total of 100,000 ghost money bills, and placed them in the ticket box's slot. Just as he was about to put them in, he took them away again, repeating this several times, as if he was playing with that eerie box.
One second, two seconds...
The ticket box in the fat woman's hand seemed to be suddenly stimulated, and began to shake violently. Then, two slender hands and feet emerged from the box, leaving the fat woman and landing on the carriage floor. The slender legs gradually straightened and stretched out until the box itself made eye contact with Su Luo.
With a "ding-dong," the bus's loudspeaker came on, and an exasperated middle-aged man's voice came through: "Go wherever you want, just give me the ghost money, give it to me!"
"Is this your attitude? Why should I give it to you?"
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, the box anxiously stamped its feet back and forth. If this person hadn't actually guessed the rules and taken the corresponding measures, it wouldn't have hesitated to eat the person directly and steal the treasure.
Unfortunately, the rules don't allow it.
And what about humans who can casually pull out a hundred thousand dollars? It's unbelievable!
Why not become a ghost storyteller? Maybe you can turn things around in one fell swoop. Even if you can't turn the tide, 100,000 ghost coins are more than enough to make you a local tyrant in the supernatural world, if not allow you to roam freely. Why turn down money?
"Sister, you're my own sister, please! I'll rent it, no, I'll sell it, as long as you give me the ghost money you have, I'll sell you the car!"
The moment the ticket box finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Su Luo's mind.
'Ding! Congratulations, host, for clearing the one-star eerie dungeon: Midnight Hearse. You have received the basic reward: a renovated bus with doubled capacity.'
'Ding! Congratulations, host, for clearing the one-star eerie dungeon "Midnight Hearse" within 24 hours, with more than one passenger on board. You have received a special reward: the key to the bus.'
'Ding! Congratulations, host, on clearing the second bizarre dungeon within three days. You have received additional rewards: a certain amount of building materials for a small house (already stored in the storage warehouse; you can decorate it as you wish), and a perimeter of city walls (already saved by the system; you only need to set the area for it to take effect. Note: this area can be modified at any time.)'
Hearing this reward, Su Luo chuckled. It's like they've stolen the Box Ghost's house and are just giving him the key. What's the point of having him then?
However, even if you have a car, you still need a driver to drive it. Su Luo wouldn't do it herself, so the advantages of being a driver and ticket seller became apparent again.
'Ding, congratulations host, a contractable monster has been detected.'
The object's name: Ticket Box.
'Ability: Unrestricted extension and contraction of the body (especially the limbs).'
'Current affinity between the monster and its host: Visible after forming a contract with this monster.'
Su Luo: ...
Stretching and contracting her body? What kind of weird skill is that? Is she some kind of clay? Recalling an anime she had watched before, in which the protagonist had a similar ability, Su Luo couldn't help but shudder and shake her head.
I wasn't very interested and declined.
The box ghost accepted the ghost money, his joy audible throughout the entire bus. Then, he eagerly spat out a sign from the box, which clearly stated the starting station and the ending station, with blank spaces for Su Luo to fill in.
Just then, the parents sitting in the last row suddenly attacked Su Luo, seemingly trying to snatch the sign that read "Starting Station" and "End Station".
