The Wujian Restaurant has wooden floors and a classical style on its ground floors, making it almost indistinguishable from ancient restaurants.
However, the basement level is completely different from the upper levels.
Standing here, Xia Tianqiong had the illusion of having entered a ghostly realm.
The ground was cracked, dust was flying everywhere, and it was like a desert with no end in sight.
Above them wasn't the ground floor, but a hazy sky with wispy green clouds floating about, like will-o'-the-wisps burning in the air.
This scene is remarkably similar to the eerie realm described by the mysterious.
As soon as Xia Tianqiong teleported here, he discovered that many strange creatures were wandering around.
Several others who were closer also spotted him and charged at him, roaring like wild beasts.
They looked somewhat different from the usual eerie creatures, their eyes filled with violent emotions, like madmen who had lost their minds.
Xia Tianqiong couldn't recognize these strange creatures, so he couldn't determine their level.
In this situation, the only option is to leave; otherwise, if you encounter a high-level monster, you might die here.
Just as he was about to activate the teleportation token, the shopkeeper suddenly appeared beside him.
As soon as it appeared, the surrounding eerie creatures seemed to be frightened and scattered in all directions, none daring to approach.
Xia Tianqiong was somewhat alarmed; it seemed that this shopkeeper was also a highly mysterious figure.
"So? Are you sure you want to rent this place?"
The shopkeeper looked at Xia Tianqiong as if she were a victim who had been deceived.
Xia Tianqiong also felt deceived by the ghost bride, but he was actually quite interested in this place.
"This isn't the basement of a restaurant, is it? Why does it feel like your haunted world?"
"Being occupied by something strange and eerie for too long, the rules are in chaos, and illusions have been created. What you see is not the original appearance of this level."
"What's so special about them? Why not clean them up?"
The shopkeeper gazed at the strange creature hiding in the distance, his expression complex, a mixture of sadness and helplessness.
"The creatures here have no intelligence, only a frenzied killing intent. They fight each other and abuse the rules, resulting in this state. Due to certain rule restrictions, we cannot kill them."
Xia Tianqiong sensed that it was leaving something unsaid, so she asked again, "How many special and bizarre things are there? Since you can't kill them, isn't renting this place to me a rip-off?"
“This floor originally had over a thousand people, but now there are less than a hundred. Just because we can’t kill them doesn’t mean you can’t. You don’t belong to the Wujian Restaurant.”
Judging from the manager's words, the strangeness of the restaurant cannot be eliminated by the special strangeness here.
What level are they?
Xia Tianqiong was tempted. There were nearly a hundred strange creatures. If he killed them all, he could get a lot of gold.
"This floor is mainly inhabited by fierce monsters, with a few wild monsters, and there's also a malevolent monster. You're not really planning to rent it, are you?"
The shopkeeper's attitude was a bit strange.
Its owner rented the place to Xia Tianqiong, but it seemed reluctant to accept it.
"I've already paid the deposit. If I don't rent it, can you help me get it back?"
"That's impossible!" the shopkeeper refused outright.
"In that case, I'll rent it for at least a month."
"If you decide to rent it, you need to remove all the strange things on this floor. After that, the restaurant will automatically be restored to its original appearance. Then you can decide what you want to do."
Seeing that he could not dissuade Xia Tianqiong, the shopkeeper had no choice but to tell him the truth.
Little did it know, Xia Tianqiong was overjoyed at that moment.
For others, hunting monsters is a difficult and dangerous task, but for him, it's a chance to make a fortune.
After clearing away the strangeness, you can also use this floor to run some businesses.
As the eerie events unfold, the Wujian Restaurant will undoubtedly become increasingly popular, attracting both ghost hunters and the supernatural beings themselves.
In such a bustling place, you can make money doing anything.
For example, opening a general store to sell all sorts of strange and bizarre items.
The Mirror Ghost can create clone mirrors, the Takeout Ghost can produce Netherworld Takeout, and the Life-Gambling Ghost can convert human lifespans; all of these can be sold.
In the future, we can specifically contract with the supernatural beings that can produce strange artifacts or special items for sale.
In addition, a service for exchanging ghost money can be launched.
Some supernatural entities need gold to enhance their power, and they can exchange it with Xia Tianqiong using the supernatural artifacts they produce.
In short, he quickly came up with several business projects. As long as the strangeness of this floor was cleared away, they could officially start operations.
The shopkeeper gave a few instructions and then left.
Xia Tianqiong stayed behind and began trying to hunt down special and bizarre creatures.
He currently has contracts with eleven strange creatures: a delivery ghost, a gambling ghost, a mirror ghost, and eight waiters. These are all wild ghosts. In addition, there is a fierce ghost infant.
With our current strength, we should be able to deal with the fierce monster.
As long as you don't encounter too many at the same time, there won't be a problem.
As for the evil spirits, we might not be able to defeat them now. If we encounter them, we can only teleport away to escape.
Xia Tianqiong looked around and found a strange, lone creature, then slowly approached it.
This strange creature was disheveled, naked, and had dry skin like old tree bark, resembling a dead tree trunk.
Let's just call it the Dead Tree Ghost for now!
When they were still forty or fifty meters away, the withered tree ghost also spotted Xia Tianqiong and roared as it charged over.
Xia Tianqiong held the teleportation token in his left hand, ready to teleport away immediately if there was any danger.
In his right hand, he held a mirror and used it to cast the "Mirror Devours All Things" spell on the withered tree.
After the immense suction appeared, the withered tree spirit neither dodged nor struggled, as if it had willingly crawled into the mirror.
"Is it that simple?"
Xia Tianqiong was slightly surprised. If they were all such mindless and bizarre things, cleaning them up shouldn't be too difficult.
