Chapter 162 Hotel Copy (Twenty)
"Save me..." Sun Peng, who had no idea how he got into this room, was covered in blood. He struggled to crawl out, but the shadow behind him was stronger than him. He could only place his last hope on Ning Hanqi.
Even though he knew he might be exposed, Sun Peng couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope when he saw that he was facing Ning Hanqi, who looked the youngest and softest among the players in this round.
He has met several players of this type, and they all have one common problem, which is that they are easily soft-hearted.
As long as I catch her, I can use her as a scapegoat the moment I crawl out!
"Please save me! I can take props as a reward! I just took the props from the ghost and god copy!" Sun Peng's hands were bleeding from scratching the door frame. He looked particularly pitiful with a panicked look on his face. Who would have thought that such a person was a murderer?
"Ahem..." To hide her embarrassment, Xia Yingnuan imitated Ning Hanqi's behavior in the company meeting, and tried hard to restrain her naturally smiling expression. Her brows sank, and she said to the cowardly starving ghost, "Do you know how dangerous it was just now? Do you know that if I hadn't controlled myself well, you would have died a second time!"
The timid starving ghost was frightened at once, and looked so pitiful with tears in his eyes.
The "little girl" who had just emerged from the bar said with a smile, "This girl is timid. Don't tease her. She hasn't had any incense for several days. If she's not careful, she might be scared to death..."
Her voice stopped abruptly, and the hand that was hammering Xia Yingnuan's shoulder stopped.
Although the painting in the little girl's hand was not opened, the zombie's expression immediately became gloomy after feeling the power sealed inside.
Her intuition told her that this thing was specially designed to restrain evil spirits like them, and the other party might not be joking.
Unlike Xia Yingnuan, she could faintly hear the struggling and wailing sound of the ghost in the painting. This ghost was most likely a shadow-level one, and the aura in the other one was even stronger.
I originally thought it was a newly born rich kid who was easy to fool, but now it seems that he is probably a tough guy. Where on earth did that damn woman Liu Qiyu go? She has to deal with the guy she provoked herself!
"I originally wanted to find out some things from you and see if we could make a deal, but now it seems that you... are very poor?" Xia Yingnuan opened her innocent big eyes and unconsciously poked at the other person's sore spot.
"We are poor... a little, but there is a reason for that! It's because our boss spends money lavishly! But the strength of our club is definitely among the best in the country, and it will definitely be worth it if you choose us!" The ghost that popped out from the ceiling was afraid that Xia Yingnuan would be disgusted and leave, so he immediately explained in a panic.
Oh! So there's another option. Xia Yingnuan keenly grasped a point of information.
"Our club's prices are very affordable, unlike those humans who sold an eternal lamp a few days ago for tens of millions, almost 100 million! How dare they ask for it! Isn't it just a Living Buddha's treasure that can suppress the Ghost King? What's so great about it..."
The sour and unconfident words made people want to laugh out loud, but Changmingdeng... why did she have a sense of déjà vu?
In order to retain a big customer who finally appeared, several non-humans used all their tricks to blow up their club to the point that it was almost as tall as the sky and shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
The thousand-year-old zombie, who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, quietly retreated and frantically called the real owner of the club. After calling several times, she finally got through. She hurriedly informed the other party that the rich young woman she had mentioned had arrived. Before she could even explain the other party's situation, a very aggressive voice came from the other end.
"You guys are on duty!" The next second, the call was hung up, and when I tried to call again, the phone was turned off.
The thousand-year-old zombie's face turned black and blue. Her eyesight wasn't very good but her hearing was very sharp, and she couldn't hide the ambiguous sounds on the other end of the phone.
The zombie pretending to be young looked up at the rising sun outside and let out a sigh.
What the hell is Bai Rixuan? He just hooked up with a rich woman and doesn't care about their lives anymore!
Let's wait and see! When that human discovers your true identity, will your relationship still be able to continue?
Ever since a few cunning humans set up an office, their business has been almost snatched away. Before, they spent money recklessly and didn't save any money at all. Now they are in an awkward situation. Those poor little ghosts can only have a meal of incense every three days, and they look a little weak.
As for Liu Qiyu, that woman had been hooking up with a rich woman before. At first, he knew to give her some money to support her family. But later, the woman fell in love with him and refused to take a penny. She even returned all the money she had earned. It was really like adding insult to injury!
She was once a thousand-year-old zombie, once a powerful figure, but now she's bowing down to a small fortune. It's heartbreaking to think about it! Woohoo... I really want to go back to that war-torn era.
After wiping away a handful of non-existent tears, the zombies still had to coax the little ancestor who might decide their living conditions for the next month.
"The value of these two magic weapons? You've asked the right person. We have an expert in identifying treasures here. Since this is your first time here, how about we identify it for you for free?" The fox demon's heart was bleeding when he said the word "free".
But if you want to get something, you have to give it first. If you don’t give the rich woman a taste of the sweetness first, how can she choose you?
Free?! Xia Yingnuan’s eyes lit up, and she tried hard to suppress the hopeless excitement in her eyes. She had to remain calm. She was now a wealthy woman, so how could she be so hopeless?
The fox demon and the zombie brought Xia Yingnuan to the basement of their club and directly pushed open a door with a sign that said "Rest Do Not Disturb". The moment the door opened, the garbage inside almost buried them!
"Ahem..." The fox demon coughed awkwardly twice, "Don't mind me, the guy here is just lazy as hell. Her professional ability is actually very impressive!"
"I understand, I understand. He has high IQ but low intelligence." Xia Yingnuan expressed her understanding.
The fox demon sighed and cleaned up the garbage at the door. The zombie sniffed at the door, then rushed directly into a pile of garbage inside and started rummaging through it. After a while, he took out a small yellow fluffy thing.
Was it a golden... hamster? Xia Yingnuan watched from afar and thought the little creature was quite adorable.
The hamster was sleeping so soundly that all the tossing and turning didn't wake her up. The zombie didn't show any mercy to her and just reached out and slapped her a few times.
About three minutes later, a slovenly woman appeared in front of Xia Yingnuan, covering her swollen face with her hands and greeting her with a smile. During this time, the fox demon took away all the garbage in the room and barely set up a table to receive guests.
"It's not hard to see that you haven't received any guests here for a long time." Xia Yingnuan sighed.
The hamster, who had transformed into a human, smiled awkwardly. "What do you want to ask, sir?"
"Don't be fooled by her appearance. She is actually the oldest and most experienced one among us. She used to work in the treasure identification business, so her professionalism is absolutely impeccable." The fox demon introduced.
The zombie whispered to the rat demon in a special way, "This is Liu Qiyu's lucky charm! You better stay strong! If you let her get away, she'll skin you alive!"
The rat demon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled even more brightly.
"Then take a look at this and help me estimate its value." Xia Yingnuan handed the two paintings to her.
The rat demon took out a pair of ordinary-looking glasses and hung them on his nose, then unfolded the scroll.
As luck would have it, the first thing she got was the painting of the kitten, and the suppression from her blood made her hands tremble.
She must have stolen the offerings to the Kitchen God some time ago, which is why she has been so unlucky recently!
The rat demon's professionalism made her try to calm down, but unfortunately Xia Yingnuan looked at her painting which had been shaken into messy leaves in the wind.
"Is this... a special seal?"
The rat demon was sweating profusely. How could this thing, which she hadn't seen in thousands of years, appear again? If she hadn't dug out the relevant information from her childhood memories, she would probably have smashed her reputation into Xia Yingnuan's hands today!
"This kind of magic hasn't appeared in thousands of years. It can easily seal away any evil spirit that approaches the red-clothed ghost, leaving the ghost completely powerless to struggle... It's terrifying. I wonder what its upper limit is. If it can seal a red-clothed ghost, the market price could reach five million or even higher. If this black shadow is the limit, the market price could be around eight hundred or nine hundred thousand."
"But these two paintings have already been used, so their value is greatly reduced. The painting with the ghost baby can be sold for over 300,000, and the other can be sold for 700,000." The rat demon pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and took out an abacus from somewhere, rapidly counting beads. "But it's possible that someone would like to study this painting. If the research value is added, they can add another 100,000 to 300,000 to the price."
"After all, things are valuable because they are rare. If we hype it up further, maybe someone will be willing to pay a higher price." The rat demon blinked at her frantically.
Even Xia Yingnuan, who was slow to react, understood what she meant despite the crazy hint. However, looking at the pitiful look of the rat demon, she unconsciously wanted to tease him, so she pretended not to understand what he meant.
"So that's how it is!" Xia Yingnuan smiled and prepared to take the painting back, but she couldn't budge it after pulling it once or twice.
"Um...why don't you let go first?"
"If you don't want to consider it, just put it on consignment with us! We'll definitely sell it to you at a good price!" The rat demon grabbed Xia Yingnuan's hand and said tearfully, "Please be kind! I'm going to run out of food next month! Our heartless boss won't even provide us with food!"
She sensed a slight disturbance in the peaceful space around her, like ripples on the surface of a calm pond.
Those little ghosts have some tricks, but unfortunately their strength is too weak to truly support this exquisite ghost wall.
Xia Yingnuan raised her hand and pierced the center of the ripple with a blood-red thread. The surrounding fantasy immediately began to waver. For Xia Yingnuan, this was enough.
When she was holding Ning Hanqi and was about to leave forcibly, a chaotic and faint sound suddenly came from the surrounding space.
