Chapter 137 A Talented Actor Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 3 & 4) Fate...
Fate is truly a wondrous thing. In this vast sea of people, how did it happen to be his younger brother?!
Looking at the truth that had been exposed, Song Yu was unsure whether to worry about her younger brother's early romance affecting his studies, or whether he might have a level seven ghost as his father-in-law.
Fortunately, Lü Guoqiang was not the kind of unreasonable father-in-law. Song Yu then gave a detailed introduction to his younger brother's merits.
Even something as simple as getting a few red flowers at kindergarten was considered a bonus. It took Song Yu two hours of talking to finally calm down her prospective in-laws.
At a certain school, Song Xia finally finished his test paper for the day, made a sweet phone call to his girlfriend in a rush, and then went to bed on time. He had no idea what his brother had done to help him win over his father-in-law.
Song Yu, no longer caring about being afraid of ghosts, finally managed to persuade Lü Guoqiang to return to the bottle, and then struggled with whether or not to call her brother.
Lin You had also looked at the records. Whether the two were talking on the phone or sending text messages, it was always between 11 p.m. and midnight. This was the time when Song Xia finished studying and was before going to bed, so it didn't affect her studies.
Moreover, Song Xia had discussed university plans with him, specifically with this prestigious university that was very close to Qunxing Entertainment.
He initially thought his younger brother chose this school to be closer to him, but now it seems he was just being presumptuous!
This worried guy stayed up most of the night, researching online about teenage romance and how parents should guide and deal with it correctly. In the end, he decided to continue to observe.
After all, my younger brother is already eighteen years old. If it doesn't affect his grades, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with him dating.
After confirming that Song Xia was not the kind of bad boy, had good grades, and even planned to apply to the same school as his daughter, the elderly father, Lü Guoqiang, finally felt a little relieved.
But he couldn't let go of his daughter, and suddenly he wasn't so enthusiastic about reincarnation anymore.
After hesitating for several days, Lü Guoqiang finally found a time when Lin You was relatively free and cautiously approached her to ask:
"Master Lin, could you elaborate on what you said before about my appointment to a position in the lower ranks?"
Lin You didn't know much about this before, but luckily she had a thoughtful online friend. Before the ghost used its cheat ability, it had learned about this world and explained these things to Lin You.
The following methods for evaluating civil servants are much simpler and more direct than those in the human world. As long as you have enough strength, haven't committed any sins, and your character is up to par, you're basically good to go.
The main thing is what kind of job he can be assigned later. With Lü Guoqiang's abilities, he is still a bit short of being able to apply for a ghost messenger position that allows him to frequently walk among humans.
Lin You thought about the underworld position that the ghost had introduced to her, and added, "In your current state, you might be assigned to the Bridge of Helplessness to help maintain order in the queue, or patrol the River of Oblivion or something like that."
Of course, you can also work in the eighteenth level of hell if you want, although your level is a bit too low, they are short-handed there.
Lu Guoqiang quickly shook his head. He didn't have the peculiar hobby of watching other ghosts being tortured over and over again, howling like ghosts every day.
“Then let’s cultivate. I also need to teach another child. But as payment, you’ll have to help find other evil spirits.” Lin You had just finished speaking when he suddenly heard the ghost’s voice in his mind.
[Youyou, we can have Song Yu take him as an apprentice! If Lü Guoqiang really becomes a ghost messenger in the future, we can take a cut of every ghost he brings into the underworld. Although each one isn't much, the total amount will be huge!]
Lin You sighed helplessly. Putting aside the difference in their levels, just the idea of a ghost becoming the disciple of a celestial master seemed a bit too far-fetched.
[The ghosts he brings into the underworld from now on will all be counted as part of our deliverance efforts. I've already checked, and excluding newly born ghosts, the total number of ghosts and monsters remaining in the mortal realm doesn't even reach ten thousand!]
The ghost finally revealed what had happened. He had just randomly set a number, but he forgot to consider the current world situation, which resulted in him getting into trouble with his new friend.
If it were any other system, he wouldn't dare say it, otherwise he would have been complained about eight hundred times already. But he trusted Youyou and knew she wouldn't treat him like that.
Lin You wouldn't complain about him; she just checked the daily death toll in the city online.
Well, the city she lives in is a first-tier city with a very dense population. If Lü Guoqiang really stays in this area as a ghost messenger, and considering the number of ghosts that Song Yu and the others have exorcised, Lin You probably won't need three years to complete the mission.
As for Song Yu's Best Actor mission, given the resources provided by the Zhang family and his own talent, this mission will definitely be completed ahead of time, even before he gets the "golden finger" (a cheat code).
Lu Guoqiang stared at Lin You for a while, then suddenly changed the subject: "Also, to learn our sect's techniques, you naturally need to become a disciple. I no longer plan to take on any disciples, so you two can only become disciples of Song Yu."
Song Yu, who was standing to the side, suddenly turned his head. He seemed to have heard something strange!
After being able to chat privately with Lin You, he rarely bothered his customer service representative and tactfully assigned tasks.
[Ding! Hidden quest assigned: Accept this Lü Guoqiang as your apprentice to receive an extra reward: Underworld faction map x1]
[Ding! Hidden quest assigned: Accept Zhang Mochen as your disciple to receive an extra reward: Underworld Eight Trigrams Manual x1]
[Ding! This moment is crucial to the final completion of the mission. Please take it seriously and don't let things fall apart at this critical juncture.]
[Ding! As a reward for the host's bravery, the double points event for ghosts and monsters will be extended for one year after the apprenticeship is completed.]
Song Yu: ………
Don't you want to look at what you're saying?!
Song Yu really wanted to refuse outright and then scold him for being unreliable, but the customer service representative directly brought up Lin You's task.
Looking at the incredibly detailed map showing the distribution of ghosts and monsters across the country, Song Yu counted them over and over, but could only manage to come up with a mere six thousand.
[Ding! The items in the mystery gift are mostly important items for enhancing the power of your personal system.]
[Ding! Youyou has always achieved perfect scores. Are you going to be the first player to only aim for a passing grade?]
[Ding! Your Gold Finger Points will be permanently saved in your system history.]
Song Yu really wanted to shout, "Provocation won't work on me!"
Unfortunately, he really couldn't just get a passing grade; it would be too embarrassing for Lin You to remember him so well in this way.
Lu Guoqiang didn't care at all about the difference in seniority between him and Song Xia after becoming Song Yu's disciple. Anyway, his daughter was just dating, and whether she could get married was still uncertain. There was no need to worry about it so early.
After Song Yu nodded in agreement, he bowed very quickly, thus successfully becoming an apprentice. On the other hand, little Zhang Mochen knelt down and kowtowed very politely, performing a standard apprenticeship ceremony.
Song Yu didn't care about how he became an apprentice, but he couldn't help but sigh, "Habit is indeed a terrible thing."
Back then, he was someone who wouldn't even dare to open his eyes when he saw a ghost, but now he's actually taken two ghosts as his apprentices.
[Ding! System reward has been issued. Please check it yourself.]
[Ding! Please face your shortcomings, host. You still dare not look at your two apprentices.]
[Ding! If you're going to back down, just admit it. Look, I've already admitted it, so what are you still struggling for?]
"Can I replace the Underworld Gossip Manual with a mute button from customer service?! I think a mute button is more practical than checking which palace's ghost messengers like to steal stinky tofu, or which palace's ghost messengers complain about their ugly uniforms."
Song Yu's voice still carried the sound of grinding his teeth. Would this guy crash if he didn't sabotage him for a while?!
[Ding! This is customer service. I won't crash, but I won't feel comfortable if I don't expose you~]
Despite it being a mechanical, electronic voice, Song Yu managed to detect a sense of schadenfreude in it.
In this life, encountering a cheat code is already an extremely rare thing, but to encounter an odd one among cheat codes is truly unparalleled luck.
Lu Guoqiang and Zhang Mochen did not need Song Yu to teach them. They learned the cultivation methods given to them by Lin You, which were also the soul cultivation methods that Ye Zhen had collected for them when she was in the cultivation world.
This is a rare cultivation method that does not require the aid of spiritual energy. It seems to have been compiled according to the cultivation habits of the demon race, and its main energy source is the essence of the sun and moon.
Although the spiritual energy in this world is thin, the sun and moon are still functioning normally. This kind of cultivation method, which is purely written for research in the cultivation world, is already quite good here.
Lu Guoqiang may look a bit simple and honest, but he has a certain talent for growing to level seven through instinct alone.
Zhang Mochen's soul was weak, but he had excellent comprehension and some understanding of classical Chinese, which made learning easier for him.
By the time Song Yu received the notification to join the group three days later, Lü Guoqiang had already advanced to level eight, and the little kid who had almost lost his soul had also successfully advanced to level two ghost.
As an assistant who was practically just for show, Lin You naturally had to come along with the crew. In case it was inconvenient for the crew to shop while filming, she even stocked up on a lot of food and daily necessities in her personal space.
As for Xue Ziqi, as soon as he learned what the script was, he used his connections to secure a minor role for both him and Wei Chengzhi.
Lu Guoqiang slipped away to visit his daughter at school again before preparing to set off with her. This time, the filming location was a real location, with seven or eight shooting locations.
The director, following instructions from the investors, put in a great deal of effort to create scenes ranging from desolate deserts and towering mountains to vast grasslands and magnificent seas.
As everyone was getting ready to leave, Lü Guoqiang suddenly popped out of the bottle and asked, "Should we kill that fortune teller before we go?"
After all, the place where the fortune teller stayed was only about 40 miles away from his daughter's school, and it was a bustling food street where many students liked to go during holidays.
What if his daughter happens to be there? What if that bastard causes trouble for her? Even if his daughter has already received the talisman personally made by Lin You and given to her by that brat Song Xia, she would still be startled.
When someone is fiercely protective of their own, they will inevitably push their limits; the same applies to ghosts.
Lu Guoqiang looked at Song Yu and said with rare intelligence, "Master, if you go out to film and won't be here anymore, your younger brother will probably go to visit my girl on the weekend. That swindler's territory happens to be a favorite spot for young couples. If the two of them end up there..."
He looked up at Song Yu, perhaps organizing his thoughts. After thinking for a while, he gave up on making things difficult for himself and spoke directly:
“Master, you’re so afraid of ghosts. What if Song Xia takes after you? He has no other relatives besides you and Master Lin. If he gets seriously injured from being scared, he might not even have anyone to accompany him to the hospital.”
Song Yu looked at him with a complicated expression. They were boyfriend and girlfriend, after all. So you never thought that your daughter could accompany you to the doctor?
Lu Guoqiang, on the other hand, acted with a self-righteous air, saying, "My daughter is a girl, so she's bound to be more timid. It's hard to say who will take care of whom in the end. Besides, that fortune teller is a real scoundrel. He's probably harmed countless people. We're just doing a service to the people."
