Are you in contact with the head office now?
Ling Tian asked.
He decided to give it a try first.
If there's absolutely nothing left to talk about, he'll have to take a long-term approach.
If all else fails, he can just take action directly; after all, he had long been prepared to make enemies of some powerful forces.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been constantly accumulating their own ghostly connections and recruiting some strange beings to their side.
"Yes, they do, but the head office is very busy, and they won't answer the phone unless it's something important."
"That's what the store manager said."
Ling Tian gave the school bullies a wink.
The latter understood immediately.
"Huh? What do you mean it's not a big deal? Isn't this a big deal right now?!"
The school bullies, looking fierce and menacing, surrounded the shop manager.
"..."
The store manager was about to cry. What are you doing?
"Okay, I'll contact the head office and see. If they don't respond, you can't take action against me."
"That's natural, we're not that kind of people."
Ling Tian smiled.
The shop manager looked helpless and could only take out a brazier.
Then he took out a paper model of a telephone, lit it, and put it inside.
The paper burned out completely.
The store manager reached into the brazier and took out the telephone.
The phone started vibrating incessantly.
Seeing such a novel scene, Ling Tian clicked his tongue in amazement.
Are all supernatural beings connected over such long distances?
"Hello? This is the main store. What important matter do you need to report?"
A voice came from the other end of the phone.
The store manager quickly put the phone to his ear and said, "This is the Chinatown branch. A group of ghost kings just came and said they want to transfer this branch to them. I can't make up my mind about this, so I'm asking the head office for their opinion."
"Transfer the branch to them? A bunch of ghost kings? Ha! Mere ghost kings dare to be so arrogant!"
The person on the other end of the phone shouted angrily.
The store manager's face turned green as he looked at Ling Tian's darkening expression and the school bullies who were about to make their move.
No way, are you kidding me? I'm right here, can't you even consider my safety?
Ling Tian stood up, walked to the store manager, and took the phone from him.
So you're saying there's no room for negotiation?
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So you're that overconfident Ghost King? What right do you have to talk to us? Negotiations are for when both sides are evenly matched, and you're not qualified! No way!"
Ling Tian was not annoyed by this, and crushed the phone with a strong grip.
"Brother, you can't blame me for this! I'm just a wage earner. You can't just make things up without even knowing the facts!"
The store manager was cornered by the school bullies.
Ling Tian waved his hand, signaling them to come back.
The group left the convenience store in silence, and it was only after a long time that the store manager breathed a sigh of relief.
"This job is really difficult. If the head office doesn't send Ghost King to oversee things, I'll resign and find another job."
......
Convenience Store No. 44 Main Store.
"Hmph, what cats and dogs?"
The customer service representative looked at the broken temporary phone and curled their lip.
They didn't take it seriously.
In his mind, the other party probably chickened out, which is why they became angry.
"However, this incident also served as a reminder to the head office that they need to send the Ghost King to oversee things, otherwise some overconfident monsters might try to take advantage of the convenience store."
He reported the incident to the authorities.
......
Ling Tian walked along in deep thought, while the school bullies followed behind him in silence, afraid of offending him.
Ling Tian opened the system panel and took a look.

"As expected, the Ghost King's strength is still insufficient in the world of the supernatural..."
Ling Tian muttered to himself.
As for why he took people back with him...
That's because now is not the time to take action.
We can just leave the No. 44 convenience store for now.
Let's finish resolving the issues in the other areas first.
Just before the world undergoes a sudden upheaval, seize that convenience store with swift and decisive action.
After absorbing the power in Chinatown, he became the one who called the shots in this area.
revenge?
Then let's go!
If you're afraid of this and that, how can you contend for supremacy!
He led the school bullies back to Guangming High School.
Then they began preparing for the ensuing struggle.
First and foremost, you should activate your professional skills.
So he ordered the school bullies to start building kindergartens, primary schools, and junior high schools.
As long as there's enough space, build it as fast as you can.
If we don't have enough skilled hands, then let's recruit some from the talent market.
The Chinatown area has entered a period of rapid development.
The remaining 299 people participating in the instance stared blankly at everything.
Looking at the enigmatic Ling Tian, she revealed an envious gaze.
"Is this the world of the big shots... We're still struggling to survive in this bizarre world, while they've already started ruling it."
"Yeah...once this dungeon ends, the big shot will definitely be exposed."
"That was an inevitable result; there are too many people and too much information. Information can't be kept secret, just like fire can't be hidden in paper."
"Actually, the big boss probably wouldn't care about these things, and the words of the world can't hurt him in the slightest."
......
A month and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Ling Tian traveled between Sacred Heart Hospital and Bright High School every day.
In a month and a half, another 50,000 strange creatures were treated.
We've taken a small step closer to unlocking the Rejuvenation skill.
Guangming High School also enrolled many strange students.
The Lingtian Project includes kindergartens, primary schools, and junior high schools.
They also recruited a group of strange students to enroll.
This led to his student population reaching a bizarre 15,000.
Successfully unlocked the skills of insightful discussions and reader feedback.
In an instant, a massive amount of feedback from power surged towards Ling Tian.
However, this feedback was not enough for him to break through the Ghost King realm and enter the realm of the Ferocious.
There's nothing we can do; all the feedback we get comes from strange students.
Most of them are at the level of vengeful ghosts.
Even including the number of bizarre cases he treated over the past month, it still wasn't enough.
The Ghost King and the Fierce One are separated by a huge chasm.
"Although I haven't broken through yet, I've touched the edge. Once the dean comes out of seclusion and reads my book, there will be another big feedback."
The feedback from a fierce beast should help me break through this obstacle.
Ling Tian thought to himself.
Another two weeks have passed.
The dean, who had been in seclusion for a long time, has finally emerged.
He found Ling Tian with a smile on his face.
"You seem so happy, you must have succeeded in breaking through."
Ling Tian congratulated him.
"Haha... Luckily, luckily. Without the vice dean supplementing my foundation, I think it would have taken me many more years to break through."
The dean stroked his beard and said.
