Qin Yunie had actually seen it, and her heart had started racing, but she forced herself to remain calm and looked away, pretending she hadn't seen anything.
Sure enough, as soon as she turned around, she found the ghost, whose eyeballs had almost fallen out, cautiously watching her.
Qin Yune immediately smiled at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The ghost stammered, "No, it's nothing."
Then he joined the line again.
She vaguely heard the other ghosts saying to him, "I told you to do it right! You almost scared Boss Qin! If you scared Boss Qin away, who will we ask to deliver messages in the future? Where in the underworld can we find such delicious boxed lunches!"
The ghost looked dejected. "It's not entirely my fault. I asked the boss to fix it properly, but my problem is quite serious and it will take several sessions to get it right."
"Alright, just be careful later, don't lose your eyes again, and tell the other ghosts to be careful not to scare Boss Qin."
"knew."
Through their fragmented conversation, Qin Yunie guessed that they probably did the repairs because they didn't want to scare her, and those with some financial means did so.
No wonder she didn't find the ghosts she saw these past few days as scary anymore.
At least it's not as scary as it was at the beginning.
She thought she had gotten used to it, but it turns out that they were carefully protecting and caring for her.
A warm feeling washed over Qin Yune; they were all such adorable ghosts!
Indeed, what is truly terrifying is not the form, but the mind.
Those with kind hearts, whether human or ghost, are not scary.
Even if they become ghosts, they will be careful not to scare others.
Those whose hearts are inherently evil are equally terrifying, whether they are human or ghosts.
Qin Yunie sat down and began receiving and registering the mail.
Not long after, an older, thin ghost timidly asked, "Boss Qin, I heard that you can share an order with several ghosts, is that right?"
Qin Yunie nodded, her voice soft, "Okay, but since they need to be placed together, it would be best if they were familiar with each other and lived nearby, that would be more convenient."
Upon hearing this, he hesitated immediately, "I don't know any other ghosts..."
Qin Yunie stopped what she was doing and looked at the ghost in front of her. It was wearing a very ordinary old man's shirt and loose pants that obviously did not fit well. There was a noticeable scab on its forehead, indicating that it must have fallen and hit its head to die.
Most people who choose to share orders don't have much money.
Therefore, Qin Yunie suggested, "If that's the case, and you team up with other ghosts, if the distance is far and their families are unwilling to help, the letters might get lost. Wouldn't that mean you've wasted your money? My suggestion is that there are many ghosts here. You can see if there are any familiar ghosts. If so, it would be more cost-effective and safer for you to team up."
Her words made the other person hesitate even more. "Then I'll go and look for it."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The ghost behind the first ghost watched him leave and muttered, "If you don't have money, don't send it."
Qin Yune watched the ghost's departing figure, "Perhaps something happened?"
“What could it be? We write to our families mostly to express our longing and to ask them to burn more money. What else could it be? Those who can afford to send several thousand ghost money on behalf of others must have some money on hand. They are not particularly poor. Otherwise, they would not write to their families. Just the 20 ghost money a day for lodging would be a struggle.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunie didn't think much of it, since it was indeed true.
A typical delivery service usually involves four or five people per order, and each order costs 2,000 ghost coins, enough to stay in the underworld for several months.
There are also some jobs in the underworld that can earn you some spare change. As long as you're not lazy, you can live quite comfortably in the underworld.
In addition, most family members burn some paper money during festivals, so even though the tax rate in the underworld is high, they can generally still save a lot at the end of the year.
However, some people may have long queues, and the younger generation usually only remembers those within three generations. They don't know the names of the older generation, so no one burns offerings for them. But it's still easy for them to work in the underworld to earn some money for lodging or something.
Most of the people who frequently come to Qin Yunie's place for boxed lunches have a lot of spare money. Her boxed lunches only cost 12 underworld coins, and if they eat there every day for a month, they would only spend three or four hundred underworld coins. Adding the accommodation fee of about 600 and the incense money, they would only spend a thousand underworld coins a month.
Qin Yunie had asked Bi Luo before, and he learned that some jobs in the underworld, if done diligently, could earn two or three thousand a month. Even those who didn't want to die and still worked odd jobs, working sporadically, could still earn several hundred underworld coins a month.
As long as you don't do absolutely nothing and don't have family members burning money for you, you can have a place in the underworld.
If you work hard and save up enough to combine with other orders for delivery, it won't take long.
Thinking this through, Qin Yunie stopped paying attention to the ghost and continued collecting money and mail.
The ghost messenger had already left sometime earlier.
The line in front of her was getting longer and longer, filled with ghosts.
Her delivery service has spread even further these past two days; almost all the ghosts have heard about it.
Although many ghosts still have doubts, the number of ghosts queuing up is increasing.
When Qin Yune casually looked up to relax her neck, she noticed a familiar face inside. It was one of the bosses who had given her 20,000 ghost money before. Qin Yune remembered that they seemed to be two brothers, surnamed Qian.
Qian Da noticed that Qin Yune had seen him and even greeted her, but because they were quite far apart, she didn't shout.
Qin Yunie also smiled at them.
When it was their turn, Qian Da paid 100,000 ghost money directly, but said, "Boss Qin, this is a deposit. After you're done, would it be convenient to find a place to chat privately for a bit?"
Qin Yunie nodded. "Of course, are you placing a special order?"
Qian Damian looked troubled. "Yes, it's just not convenient to say it here, so it might take up some of your time when you're done."
"Okay, give me an address, I'll come find you as soon as I'm done here."
After giving Qin Yunie his address, Qian Da left.
It was an hour or two before Qin Yune finished his work.
She carefully put the ghost money and notebook into her bag and said to Lin Sui, "Lin Sui, I'm going to talk to Boss Qian about something. I'll be back soon."
Lin Sui hadn't finished selling her goods yet, and upon hearing her words, she quickly replied, "Okay, you go ahead, I'll clean up here in a bit."
Qin Yunie went to the address Qian Da gave her. It was in the villa area, not in the same area as Grape Monster.
As soon as she rang the doorbell, Qian Da, as if he had been waiting for her, quickly opened the door upon hearing it.
"Boss Qin, you're here!" Qian Da greeted him warmly. "Come in and have a seat."
Qin Yune called out with a smile, "Boss Qian."
As we walked in, I asked, "Mr. Qian, do you have a special order that you need me to deliver to your family?"
When Qian Dayi mentioned this, his expression darkened slightly. "I received word that things might not be going well in my family recently..."
