"With the world undergoing sudden changes, I naturally need to make plans in advance. Since you've already guessed what I'm planning to do, tell me your thoughts. I'm not the kind of person who forces others to do things against their will."
Ling Tian calmly took out a tea set.
The school bullies, with their sharp eyes, began to pour him tea.
Ling Tian nodded in satisfaction.
This scene made He Ling's lips twitch. Is this my territory or yours?
It feels like you're the one who's in charge here, and I'm the one who's come here asking for a favor.
“I…I think Dr. Ling’s actions are inappropriate. This kind of change of ownership has never happened in Chinatown before.”
He Ling said unwillingly.
Who wants their territory to be given away for free?
Ling Tian put down his teacup and said, "There will always be someone who breaks the precedent, so why can't I be the one to do it? Is it because my reputation isn't good enough? Or because my strength isn't enough? Or because my backing isn't strong enough?"
He Ling choked on her words in response to Ling Tian's three questions.
He smiled wryly and said, "Doctor Ling's reputation goes without saying, and his strength is evident to all. As for your backers, as far as I know, you have two fierce men by your side."
She didn't know about the Umbrella, after all, the Umbrella was quite low-key and never showed off.
Ling Tian didn't correct her, and continued, "Then that's settled. Since I meet all the requirements, I want to take over the Chinatown area. Do you have any objections?"
"No...of course not. Since Doctor Ling has already put it this way, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse."
He Ling knew better than to say that.
The main problem is that she doesn't have the right to make a scene. People can be forceful, but it's already quite good that she sits down and talks to you in a peaceful manner like this.
Ling Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just merging Shuguang Kindergarten with Guangming High School, not dismissing you."
As long as you follow my plan, the management of the kindergarten will be as you wish.
"Once I unify Chinatown, won't your status rise accordingly? And as my jurisdiction expands, will what you gain in the future be comparable to what you have now?"
After delivering a blow, it's only natural to offer a treat in return.
The same tactics used to manipulate people's hearts apply to the supernatural.
Sure enough, He Ling visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"From now on, we'll have to rely more on Doctor Ling. However, although Shuguang Kindergarten and Guangming High School are on the same street, they are quite far apart."
A merger can't be completed overnight; how will other aspects between the two be handled?
He Ling asked.
Ling Tian had already thought this through, so he said, "You don't need to worry about these things. I will rebuild a kindergarten within the Guangming High School area."
Once it's built, you can move in. As for this piece of land, we'll hold onto it for now; I have other plans for it later.
"All right..."
He Ling nodded.
Ling Tian looked at the school bully standing to the side.
The latter understood immediately.
"The Ghost Realm unfolds!"
"This is?"
He Ling was taken aback. Weren't they having a good talk? Why did they suddenly start fighting?
"Don't panic. Its ghostly ability is to replicate and construct spatial buildings. What we need to do now is to replicate the kindergarten one-to-one, and then build it within the high school as I just mentioned."
Ling Tian explained.
"I see..."
He Ling understood, but it was truly strange that the Ghost King's Ghost Realm would be used in this way.
After all, this spatial ability of the Ghost Realm could clearly be developed in the opposite direction of combat, but now it's turned into a construction foreman's path...
After replicating the kindergarten, Ling Tian led the school bullies away to their next destination.
Convenience Store No. 44.
What are you doing?
The shopkeeper was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the ten ghost kings surrounding him.
"What are you still doing? You're being ungrateful! The principal has spoken to you politely, but you keep refusing! A mere ghost general dares to be so arrogant!"
The school bullies shouted angrily.
The cause was, naturally, the same routine that had happened at the kindergarten before. However, what was unexpected was that the store manager refused to transfer the store no matter what she said.
"Aren't you making things difficult for me? I'm just an employee!"
The store manager was almost in tears.
"This shop isn't mine, how could I just transfer it like that? Do you think a ghost general deserves to own a large convenience store?"
It kept complaining.
"Oh? Tell me more about it."
Ling Tian began to understand that the manager of this convenience store he had investigated was just a ghost general.
At the time, he was puzzled. How could the owner of a large convenience store be just a ghost general? This was clearly not right.
The store manager wiped his nose and said, "As I just said, I'm just an employee, temporarily sitting here."
This convenience store is just a branch of the main store in Chinatown. Because the higher-ups are currently short of ghosts, they haven't been able to recruit any ghost king-level talents yet.
The head office had no choice but to send me, this devil, to manage this convenience store.
"When the higher-ups send in the Ghost King, the manager of this convenience store will change hands."
Ling Tian frowned upon hearing this. So, this involves a powerful force... This is going to be difficult.
We don't know what the other party's background is. I originally thought that the only tough nuts to crack in Chinatown were the big monster in the White Sands Asylum and the mysterious creature with unknown strength guarding the five-star hotel.
Now another convenience store headquarters has appeared...
Even if it's difficult, he has to do it.
Not to mention that the system tasks include integrating instances like Convenience Store No. 44, the more far-reaching implications are the future struggle for power.
This opportunity cannot be given away, otherwise I won't even have a chance to sit at the poker table again.
"Principal, it seems we've run into a tough opponent this time..."
The school bullies whispered in Ling Tian's ear.
Their attitude isn't as tough as it used to be.
How many branches does your main store have in total?
Ling Tian probed.
"There seem to be quite a lot, at least over a hundred. But I'm not at a level where I can get to know the exact number."
The store manager sighed.
"Hiss~"
The school bullies gasped in shock; there were over a hundred schools involved.
As it said before, if a convenience store is guarded by a Ghost King, then the Ghost King under its command has more than a hundred subordinates, or even more.
The person in power behind that is at least a major evil, and it is unlikely to be a Ghost Emperor, because according to Ling Tian's understanding, no Ghost Emperor has been born in the strange world.
He guessed that to advance to the Ghost Emperor level, one must merge with the authority.
Going back to what we just said, since it's not the Ghost Emperor, it's undoubtedly the controller of the Great Fiend, and it's impossible for there to be only one Great Fiend in control.
Things are getting complicated...
"Principal, how about we just give up this time? It's just a convenience store. If you like, we can build our own..."
The school bullies said.
They had roughly calculated the strength of the forces behind them, so they didn't want to offend such a behemoth.
Ling Tian didn't say anything. Giving up was out of the question; what good would it do him to build it himself?
The task is here, and Chinatown is here too.
It's impossible to start over in a new place; there's not enough time, and he doesn't want to back down so easily.
