Song Shiqiao rushed out of the room and out of the entire building in a panic, only stopping when she saw the bustling scene of people and cars on the street.
If a normal person encounters such a bizarre situation, they would definitely call the police first.
Instead, she called her family.
There was a great-grandfather in the family who was over 100 years old. He talked about ghosts and gods in the world all day long. The family members thought it was just feudal thinking from the older generation and didn't take it seriously.
For some reason, the first person Song Shiqiao thought of at that moment was her great-grandfather.
She recounted what had happened, and her great-grandfather wasn't too surprised.
Instead, he calmly and rationally advised her not to anger that strange man, to make sure to pay the promised money, and even to pay more, in order to maintain a good relationship, as it might be of great use in the future.
I had just hung up the phone after chatting with my great-grandfather for a while when the phone rang again.
"Ms. Song, where is my one billion?"
The person on the phone was that perpetually nonchalant young man.
Song Shiqiao asked, "You're out of trouble?"
Xia Tianqiong did not answer, but continued in his unhurried tone, "Ms. Song, you are now safe and sound. It's time to fulfill your promise!"
"You saved my life, so I, Song Shiqiao, will naturally fulfill my promise. However, asking for 1 billion today is a bit difficult. Mobilizing such a large sum of money requires some working capital."
I can transfer 200 million from my personal account first. The rest, please allow me a few days; I'll definitely give it to you.
"Can."
The other party agreed very readily without any haggling, which surprised Song Shiqiao.
Then the other party said, "You can pay the remaining 800 million in another way."
Song Shiqiao had a bad feeling. Could this person have ulterior motives?
"In what way?"
“Didn’t you want to acquire the budget hotels here? Buy all eight buildings in this area, plus the shopping mall next door, and give them to me.”
Song Shiqiao paused for two seconds, thinking to herself that this was simply asking for the moon.
Even if my great-grandfather said we could give more money to win them over, we can't give this much!
"Eight buildings plus a bustling shopping mall, worth at least two billion yuan, aren't you asking for too much?"
"It will drop to rock bottom in a few days, and it might not cost much."
"What's the meaning?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Xia Tianqiong didn't explain, but instead asked her, "Do you want to restore your lifespan?"
"Do you have a solution?"
Song Shiqiao immediately became anxious, as this was also the question she had been wanting to ask.
"I have subdued the eeriness in the mirror, so it can naturally help you restore your lifespan. When you buy the property and shopping mall for me, I will restore it for you."
This area is near the exit of a strange realm, where a constant stream of bizarre creatures appear, most of which are wild-level monsters, making it a perfect hunting ground.
Xia Tianqiong wanted to claim this place before the authorities and other ghost hunters discovered it, using it as a private hunting ground or to train his own team.
He also acted on a whim after meeting Song Shiqiao.
The acquisition process is complicated, time-consuming, and laborious, so it's better to let Song Tian Group handle the acquisition so he can focus on hunting the supernatural.
Upon hearing that lifespan could be restored, Song Shiqiao was overjoyed. "Can you restore my lifespan right now? Don't worry, my Song family will never owe you anything. I can write an IOU and pay you back in a few days."
“I don’t accept IOUs. Just do as I say. I’ll send you the card number later and transfer the two hundred million as soon as possible.”
At this point, the call ended.
Song Shiqiao looked anxious and quickly called again, but no one answered.
I stood there on the street for a moment, stunned, then hurriedly returned to my hotel room, but the person was no longer there.
...
Xia Tianqiong teleported back to her room, and brought all the gold back as well, casually throwing it on the bed.
He stood in the bathroom, touched his cheek, and then rubbed his biceps, feeling his youthful physique. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "An 18-year-old body, how wonderful!"
The increased lifespan not only made him younger, but also made him full of energy, as if he had inexhaustible strength.
On the second day after being reborn, he made a life-or-death contract with a strange monster; this was an unexpected surprise.
That alone is enough to be considered a cheat code.
The Life-Gambling Trick can not only extend Xia Tianqiong's own lifespan, but also extend the lifespan of others.
Even if they do nothing in the future, they can still be sought after by everyone just by buying and selling lifespans, and even attract many ghost hunters to follow them.
Of course, if you don't have the strength to protect yourself, you could easily be controlled by others.
Xia Tianqiong took out a small mirror from his pocket; the gambling ghost was inside.
A sliver of light drifted out from the small mirror and into the large bathroom mirror, where "Xia Tianqiong" came to life.
"Master, should I go find my own kind now?"
The gambler seemed even more anxious than Xia Tianqiong, eager to recruit a member of its kind and have its master form a contract with it.
"Go, and find a mirror image ghost if possible. I need that kind of eeriness right now."
"Okay, I'll do my best."
After saying this, the gambler floated out of the mirror and disappeared.
The Mirror Spirits are invisible and can roam freely. However, they have a drawback: they cannot stay outside for long periods of time. Every so often, they must find a mirror to stand on before they can continue their wandering.
Just after the gambling ghost left, Xia Tianqiong received a text message on her phone.
Song Shiqiao's two hundred million yuan has arrived in her account.
After tomorrow night, the strange event will occur on a large scale, and everyone will frantically scramble for supplies, at which point the purchasing power of currency will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, it's best to spend the money in the next day or two and convert it into daily necessities.
Let's talk about both sides.
Jiang Yu left the budget hotel with a heavy expression, finally understanding what it meant to be a slave.
