He usually hides in the yard and doesn't communicate with other contracted ghosts.
It will not appear unless summoned by Xia Tianqiong.
It's strange that someone who makes a living by intimidating others is both timid and socially awkward.
The Intimidation Guild possesses two tricks: the ability to walk through walls and the ability to change one's face. Xia Tianqiong rarely uses these tricks when hunting monsters.
I never expected it would come in handy now.
Xia Tianqiong withdrew her gaze and patted the delivery guy's shoulder heavily. "Your idea was excellent, you deserve a reward!"
Previously, Leng Tianpeng had compensated him with a basket of spiritual fruits, one of which was the size of a watermelon. He said it could shorten the time it took for a strange creature to advance in rank, so he took it and gave it to the delivery creature.
"This is the Fruit of Enlightenment, will Master bestow it upon me?"
The delivery guy looked pleasantly surprised, but didn't dare to accept it.
"Young man, that's an Enlightenment Fruit! The higher the level, the better the effect. Giving it to a wild monster would be a waste."
The hanged ghost suddenly spoke, meaning that feeding it to a higher-level ghost would maximize its benefits.
All the contracted demons present stared eagerly at the Enlightenment Fruit.
Xia Tianqiong rolled her eyes at the hanging ghost and stuffed the Enlightenment Fruit into the delivery ghost's hand.
"It's just a fruit; I can give it to whomever I want!"
The delivery ghost held the Enlightenment Fruit, which was bigger than its head, and was overjoyed. "Master, I am just a wild ghost. I don't need a whole one. Half of it will be enough for me to break through to the Fierce Ghost level."
"Here you go, do what you want with it."
Xia Tianqiong said nonchalantly.
The delivery guy hesitated slightly, then placed the Enlightenment Fruit on the table and, using his hand as a knife, cleaved it in two.
The flesh inside is red, just like a watermelon.
An enticing sweet fragrance wafted out, causing all the contracted ghosts present to subconsciously swallow.
The strange creatures assumed it would share half with everyone, and they all craned their necks, their eyes full of anticipation.
As a result, it held up half of the Enlightenment Fruit and handed it to Huang Yu on the other side of Xia Tianqiong.
Huang Yu's pretty face lit up with joy, "You're giving me half of this?"
“Your Sky-Splitting Technique is the trick your master uses most frequently. You should upgrade it as soon as possible. Besides, I can sense that you have reached the limit of Wild Tricks and will definitely be able to break through the level.”
"Thank you!"
Huang Yu didn't stand on ceremony and took half of the Enlightenment Fruit and started eating it.
Xia Tianqiong watched with a smile, saying nothing.
The delivery guy always considered things from his perspective, which is why he liked to reuse him.
"Master, I need to go into seclusion for a few days."
Instead of eating the takeout, the ghost stood up, holding half of the Enlightenment Fruit, and prepared to go into seclusion.
"Take as much ghost money as you need."
"No need, I still have plenty of the Netherworld Gold that Master has bestowed upon me before, enough for me to upgrade."
"Okay, let's go then."
The other contract ghosts all wanted to collect more ghost gold, but the takeout ghost was thinking of saving Xia Tianqiong some.
That's the difference!
Squeak! Squeak!
The sound of Huang Yu munching on the Enlightenment Fruit was extremely crisp, attracting envious glances from all around.
It ate faster and faster, finishing it all in the blink of an eye. Then it suddenly stopped, its eyes glazed over, as if it had fallen into some strange state.
"Do you want to go into seclusion?"
Xia Tianqiong asked it softly, but there was no response.
Suddenly, a faint fluctuation of Netherworld power emanated from Huang Yu's body. It was so subtle that it could not be detected without careful sensing.
A moment later, it regained consciousness.
"I don't need to go into seclusion; I've already advanced."
"So fast?"
Xia Tianqiong was quite surprised. Other strange creatures would need to go into seclusion for several days to upgrade, but it only sat here for a while and completed its advancement in less than two minutes.
This may be what makes humans so strange.
Huang Yu was in a great mood and laughed heartily, "I didn't feel any bottleneck, and I naturally completed the advancement."
"And what about that trickery? Has its power increased?"
This is what Xia Tianqiong cares about most.
"Of course."
Huang Yu opened her fair and slender palm, and a black crack about a foot long appeared above her palm, sometimes large and sometimes small, and it could even change shape.
This was something that couldn't be done before.
Previously, spatial rifts created by the Void Rift Technique could not be maintained for long or controlled, but now they can be manipulated freely.
"Could you transform the spatial rift into the shape of a sword, like the young man in the white robe?"
Xia Tianqiong continued to ask questions.
Huang Yu began to try, and saw the spatial rift above his palm slowly change shape, gradually turning into a long sword.
But it only lasted a few seconds before it vanished with a roar.
"No, you're not skilled enough yet. You need to practice more."
Huang Yu left the table and went to practice in an open space.
Xia Tianqiong was in a very good mood at the moment. One Enlightenment Fruit had upgraded two strange creatures. It seemed that he should find an opportunity to buy a few more.
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Manager Hu took Xia Tianqiong to the auction venue.
The auction was held in a large building that, from the outside, resembled a magnificent palace with red walls and black tiles, exuding solemnity and composure.
At this moment, hundreds of eerie figures were queuing to enter, and it seemed that an entrance fee was being charged.
Manager Hu led Xia Tianqiong through a special passage on the side, allowing them to enter the auction venue directly without queuing or using any tickets, and to a private box with luxurious decorations.
This is clearly a VIP-only spot!
The palace is a circular building with an open-air roof, much like a stadium, surrounded by tiered stands and a spacious central area.
A platform three or four meters high was set up in the venue, with tables and other items placed on it.
That should be where the auction items are displayed.
Half an hour later, all the strange creatures entered the venue, and the auction officially began.
"The first item to be auctioned will definitely satisfy everyone."
The host was a strange woman dressed in a cheongsam, whose mouth protruded like a large megaphone.
Its voice can be heard clearly in every corner, whether near or far.
It works even better than a stereo system.
The host reached out and pulled back the red silk beside him, revealing a large iron cage containing four or five naked humans.
"This is a human just captured from the human world. Bidding is welcome. The starting price is 10,000 ghost money, and each bid must be at least 5,000 higher."
