The lucky guy had barely uttered a complaint when countless pairs of glowing eyes appeared before him.
Then came the sound of swallowing.
He subconsciously covered the palm-sized fried rice, then remembered that they couldn't take it, and slowly sat down.
"Oh, I finally managed to snag one! I'm going to have a good taste of it."
He had planned it all out, intending to savor it slowly, but the moment his taste buds came into contact with the intense flavor of the fried rice, they immediately had their own ideas.
It smells so good!
In that instant, he was more like a starving ghost than a starving ghost, and like Pigsy eating ginseng fruit, he finished everything on the plate in two or three bites.
He squinted, savoring the moment with lingering enjoyment, while the people behind him were practically red with envy.
"Stop reminiscing and quickly check how much your soul power has increased!"
"It's only a little bit, but it's good if it can increase your soul power for one or two years."
"The streamer is too stingy, asking for 100 merit points for this is outrageous."
After finishing his meal, the lucky guy sensed the soul power within his body. His pupils dilated to twice their normal size, and he couldn't help but blurt out a phrase from the national treasure.
"Holy crap, fifty years?" He immediately turned around and looked around, "Does anyone still have no food? I'll give you a thousand merit points in exchange."
Chaos erupted again. Fifty years of soul power!! That meant they could live for another fifty years. The stronger their soul power, the better their bodies would be in their next life. Soul power could even influence their luck, so maybe they could turn their lives around in the next life?
"I'll offer 1100, who's going to trade?"
"One thousand one hundred and fifty, kind ghost brothers and sisters, please have pity on this little brother."
There are even hundreds of millions of ghosts crying and begging Xinghe to put more on the shelves, saying that a thousand copies are really too few, not even a fraction of what they have.
Xinghe sensed the bloodshed in the underworld. After the book was published, she immediately closed the backend. That's it, her task for today is complete.
In the underworld, the First King of Hell and the Fifth King of Hell flipped through the long scrolls, trying to find any clues as to why the Department of Reincarnation had been shut down.
Unrest broke out again in the territory they ruled, and they felt the yearning of countless souls, and their heads throbbed.
King Qin Guang, the King of Hell, asked, "What's going on now? That human is broadcasting again?"
"The underworld official didn't start broadcasting; they just put some things up for sale."
King Qin Guang threw the dossier on the table. "Still haven't figured out how she got the stuff into the underworld?"
The underworld official lowered his head, not daring to speak.
If they could find out, they would have done it too, right? There are so many delicious and fun things to do in the world.
The Fifth King of Hell chuckled. "That's her skill. This human is quite interesting." He looked at the underworld official. "What is she selling this time?"
"Fried rice that can increase soul power."
"I heard about it last time, we'll try it when we have the chance."
The underworld messenger, Xiao Li, had a bright idea: "Old Zhao got it!"
If the old underworld official next to him could gather yin energy in his eyes, he would definitely kill his partner immediately.
Xiao Li was smug, refusing to let anyone even glance at him.
Old Zhao nearly vomited blood, but he could only grit his teeth and take the item out. "It was just good luck. Of course, such a good thing should be given to the two princes to try first."
King Yama became interested, and King Qin Guang also looked over. King Yama allocated a portion of the merit points to Old Zhao, and the smile on Old Zhao's face instantly became more genuine.
"It really does taste different from the tribute items."
"A trivial skill."
"Hahaha, have a taste and see what kind of magic it has that makes all the ghosts in the underworld tremble."
One of the ghosts took a bite, and both of them were slightly taken aback. It had been too long since they had tasted the flavors of the human world, and they really missed it.
However, what they cared about even more than the taste was the essence of soul power that would materialize after they ate it.
Soul power is something that can be said to be innate. The strength of one's soul power determines the length of time a ghost exists and the physical condition of its next life.
Some people can strengthen their soul power through training throughout their lifetimes.
As the rulers of the underworld, their soul power is naturally stronger than that of ordinary ghosts, and their feelings are more pronounced. Just that small bite increased their soul power by ten years.
Where did this human news anchor come from?

The Star River Talisman Paper is almost gone.
Most importantly, she was running out of money.
After transferring all the money to the welfare home, Xinghe's own savings dwindled from four figures to three figures.
Five hundred and sixty-seven yuan and eighty-two cents, with some change and some cash.
very nice.
Another day when I'm so poor I want to sell myself.
She opened her Taobao shop to see if any kind-hearted person could save her from her predicament.
The store displayed several red dots, and Xinghe couldn't wait to click on them.
It's a review left by the previous buyer, and it's a bad one!
Marrying Sheng Ji: [It's a scam! Don't buy it, everyone. It's obviously fake.]
Marrying Sheng Ji: [They said it would attract romance, but my crush didn't even glance at me. I even got yelled at by him this morning. And they still have the nerve to sell for over 600? Why don't they just rob me?]
Marrying Sheng Ji: [Reported it, they'll be shut down!]
Galaxy: ...
Xinghe replied to Marrying Shengji: [Darling, the Peach Blossom Talisman only improves the magnetic field and increases the chances of finding your true love; it can't make your wishes come true.]
Xinghe replied to Shengji's post: "If things get worse with him during this time, then he's not your true love. Please give up and find someone else."
Xinghe casually typed out a long paragraph.
He muttered to himself, "Could this Sheng Ji be the same Sheng Ji I know?"
The next second, Xinghe was blocked and reported for promoting feudal superstition, and her shop was ordered to rectify the situation.
Galaxy: ...
This is why she can't make money in the human world. The Xuanmen sect has declined, and only one in ten of the Taoist sects survives. Even the once glorious Zhengyi sect is now reduced to just her as its sole survivor.
Nowadays, online, eleven out of ten people are scammers. In the past, at the Taoist temple, it took them several years to let the people around them see her and the old man's methods and thus gain their trust.
Now that I'm in a completely unfamiliar place, I have to start all over again.
Business is tough, even the stars are sighing.
I'll go out tomorrow and see if I can run into a couple of suckers.
"Sister." Jin Tong floated in through the window, looking dejected.
He sat on Xinghe's shoulder and nuzzled her face. "Sister, the little poplar tree is crying. It's not okay. It's worried that you hate it."
The Golden Boy, an incarnation of the spirits of plants and trees, is very sensitive to these emotions.
Xinghe remembered the poplar tree and patted Jintong on the shoulder. "It's not its fault. It's fine. I'll ask Aunt Wang tomorrow if we can move it to a different spot."
"I knew my sister was the best!" the boy said softly.
Her voice is so sweet it could drown you.
"Sister!" With a bang, the Jade Maiden burst through the window. "Sister, I've caught two wandering ghosts! They're acting suspiciously, I don't know what they're doing!"
She looked proud, with a face that seemed to crave praise.
Behind her were two wild ghosts, dozens of times larger than her, with bruised and swollen faces.
