Chapter 69: Underworld KPL
Gu Yuan once again declined Ji Chen's dinner invitation, which delayed him for a while.
The evening breeze blows on my face, bringing with it the warmth unique to early summer.
Gu Yuan let out a long sigh and slowly walked towards the black Maybach parked on the corner of the street.
This car was so conspicuous that everyone in school was saying whether Gu Yuan was some kind of invisible rich second generation.
Thinking of Ji Yunzhou, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
By this time, he should have gotten off work and was cooking dinner at home, right?
Originally, Ji Yunzhou insisted on picking him up in person after get off work, but Gu Yuan really couldn't bear to see him so tired.
Think about it, a big boss who has to manage both a listed company in the human world and the affairs of the underworld at the same time, and has to take time out every day to cook for himself and pick himself up to and from get off work, even ghosts and gods would be tired, right?
Although Ji Yunzhou himself disagreed: "I wouldn't feel tired even if I didn't sleep for thousands of years. How much energy would it take to pick you up from get off work?"
But Gu Yuan still insisted on going home by himself. In the end, the two of them took a step back and decided that the car would come to pick her up, but the person didn't have to come.
When I opened the door, the aroma of sweet and sour pork ribs hit me in the face.
Gu Yuan took a deep breath and felt the fatigue of the whole day dissipate.
He kicked off his shoes, put on slippers and ran inside: "It smells so good! I'm starving!"
In the living room, Ji Yunzhou was sitting on the sofa flipping through documents. He looked up when he heard the sound.
The warm yellow light fell on his well-defined profile, and a pair of red eyes looked over with a smile.
That handsome face that infuriated both humans and gods was covered with a blatant mockery:
"Why are you so late today? Could it be that some little devil seduced you away on the way?"
Gu Yuan threw his bag onto the sofa and glared at him unhappily:
"That's right, I met a red-eyed vixen who insisted on going home with me."
Ji Yunzhou chuckled, put down the documents, stretched out his long arms and pulled the person into his arms:
"Isn't that vixen very handsome and caring?"
"Narcissist!"
Gu Yuan pushed him away with a smile and scolded him, but he didn't really use any force.
Ji Yunzhou did not insist, so he let go of his hand and rubbed his hair:
"Go wash your hands and eat. The food is getting cold."
Dinner consisted of four dishes and a soup prepared by Ji Yunzhou, which was delicious and fragrant.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed sea bass, broccoli with garlic sauce, mapo tofu, and a bowl of yam and pork ribs soup.
Gu Yuan has always been puzzled. How can an old ghost who has lived for thousands of years cook better than a five-star chef?
He thought so and asked.
"Because you're a picky eater."
Ji Yunzhou picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks and put it in his bowl: "If you don't eat well, you will be as thin as a chicken. You can be blown away by the wind."
Gu Yuan protested softly: "I'm not picky about food! And I've obviously gained three pounds!"
As he said this, he pinched his cheeks, which had indeed become a little chubby recently.
"That's because I raised him well."
Ji Yunzhou raised his eyebrows proudly, his red eyes shining with gentle light under the light.
Of course, life is boring, so I learn while experiencing life.
Ji Yunzhou thought to himself.
Fortunately, he learned this trick. According to the information he found, if you want to capture a person's heart, you must first capture his stomach.
Didn't Gu Yuan just go home and eat obediently?
It really works!
Just as the two were bickering, a layer of white mist suddenly rose in the room without any warning.
The temperature dropped sharply, and Gu Yuan could even see the white air he exhaled.
"What's going on?"
He shuddered violently: "The air conditioner is broken?"
But the next second, he realized that this was no ordinary drop in temperature.
The fog grew thicker and thicker, and it was almost impossible to see Ji Yunzhou opposite. A chilling atmosphere filled the air.
Gu Yuanhan's hair stood on end, and he subconsciously moved closer to Ji Yunzhou:
"Ji Yunzhou! There's a ghost!"
How dare you break into their house in front of Ji Yunzhou?
What level of evil spirit is this?
Ji Yunzhou immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, and instantly moved to Gu Yuan's side, protecting him in his arms: "Don't be afraid."
He looked up at the source of the mist, his red eyes suddenly becoming fierce, and the pressure emanating from his body lowered the temperature in the room a few degrees.
"Dare to come here and act wild? Are you tired of living or do you want to die again?"
Two figures slowly emerged from the mist, one black and one white, wearing tall official hats and holding chains and tokens in their hands.
Gu Yuan poked his head out from Ji Yunzhou's arms, was stunned for a second, and then breathed a sigh of relief:
"So it's you guys!"
The Black and White Impermanence looked at each other, and Bai Wuchang spoke first, his voice filled with a bit of grievance:
"Lord Ji, calm down. We didn't realize we would scare Master Gu."
Hei Wuchang quickly agreed: "That's right, when Master Gu was a wandering spirit, he wasn't afraid to come with us in the middle of the night. Why is he so timid now?"
Gu Yuan embarrassedly broke free from Ji Yunzhou's arms:
"How can it be the same? I was a ghost myself back then! Now I'm a human, okay!"
Thinking back to the days when he was a wandering spirit, Gu Yuan had indeed followed the Black and White Impermanence around a lot.
"So what are you doing here today?" Gu Yuan asked curiously.
Generally speaking, the Black and White Impermanence would not come to the door for no reason, especially after Ji Yunzhou clearly expressed that he did not like others to disturb their lives.
These two are serious civil servants of the underworld. They are usually very busy. How could they have time to visit?
Bai Wuchang pulled out a...
Smartphone?
Gu Yuan's eyes widened: "Is the underworld so advanced now?"
"Just keep pace with the times."
Hei Wuchang explained: "The King of Hell said that we should connect with the living world to improve work efficiency.
Ever since he came back from his last expedition to the human world, he's become obsessed with all sorts of high-tech gadgets. Now the underworld is completely automated with office systems."
Bai Wuchang took over the conversation: "This is the latest mission communication device developed by the underworld. It has the underworld's exclusive mission system installed. From now on, your ghost-catching missions will be issued directly through this phone."
Gu Yuan took the phone and found that its appearance was no different from that of an ordinary smartphone, except that the logo of the underworld was engraved on the back.
He turned on the screen. The interface was similar to that of an ordinary mobile phone, but there was an additional app called "Underworld Mission".
After clicking it, it is divided into three sections: "Pending", "In Progress" and "Completed", which is designed to be quite user-friendly.
"Oh my god? It's so advanced!"
Gu Yuan swiped the screen in amazement: "There's also a rating system? Five-star reviews?"
Bai Wuchang raised his head proudly: "Of course, we also have KPI assessments! At the end of the year, ghost officials with good performance can even go to the King of Hell to receive red envelopes."
Gu Yuan's mouth twitched: "Your underworld is really...modern management."
Ji Yunzhou snorted coldly, "Li Chuan is just good at doing these fancy things."
This suggestion was made by Li Chuan.
I didn’t expect that the King of Hell would grant me such special permission.
He reached out and took the phone, examining it for a few moments, his red eyes narrowed slightly. "Is this thing safe?"
Don't leak the news about Gu Yuan's extremely yin body.
“Absolutely safe!”
Hei Wuchang patted his chest and assured, "This was developed by the Underworld's Technology Department. It uses the most advanced encryption technology for both the Yin and Yang worlds. It's much more secure than the 5G network in the human world! And only Master Gu can use it. Anyone else would be crushed to pieces by a brick."
"snort!"
Ji Yunzhou snorted coldly: "If there is nothing else, please leave."
The order to leave in the tone couldn't be more obvious.
The Black and White Impermanence exchanged a glance, then bowed hastily as if granted amnesty: "Then we won't disturb you two from your meal!"
After saying that, he disappeared with a whoosh, and the white mist in the room also dissipated, and the temperature returned to normal.
Gu Yuan was still studying his new phone. Curiously, he opened the Underworld App Store and discovered that there were Underworld versions of Douyin, WeChat, and even Meituan, which could provide delivery services for incense, candles, and paper money.
“This is amazing…”
Gu Yuan was sighing when his phone suddenly dinged and a notification popped up:
[You have a new ghost catching mission, please check it in time].
