A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 106: The Strange Talk Factor from Sister Shui
The hustle and bustle is all here for Brother Ninth.

Dozens of weirdos with long faces on the back of their heads ran towards Zhong Xie. Since the vision of the weirdos at the back was blocked and they could not see the face of the popular star Jiu Ge, they climbed up the walls and the ceiling and rushed over in a frenzy.

These friends in the circle of friends are in a state of congestion, gathered together like a large piston, squeezing from one end of the corridor to the other, each one of them like a fan coming to the airport to pick them up.

"Ninth brother, ninth brother~ beautiful brother~"

There are both male and female weirdos among them. Those who can run into the venue to have fun during the period of martial law in the circle of friends are fun-loving people themselves, so they are extremely excited when there is excitement.

As for the water wall released by Brother Fruit Plate to block the retreat, it collapsed instantly under the head-on impact of the circle of friends.

The battle between ghost stories is actually a competition of ghost story power. Except for the rule-based ghost stories that are qualified to violate this, the ghost story abilities of other attributes need to be supported by ghost story power to take effect.

These guys in the circle of friends all appear in the form of "semi-permanent faces on the back of their heads", not using maggots to appear, so their own strange stories can be used with the help of this body.

Just like the ninth brother.

It is precisely because of this that the combined strange power of these people is like that of an ancient ferocious beast. They don't even need to actively use their power. Just by running over, they have defeated the five young deans in front of them.

At this time, Zhong Xie also noticed that the people in these friends circle all had the same strange talk power, as if they were born from the same mother.

According to what they had learned in the academy, different ghosts needed to maintain correct positions when working together, otherwise they would get half the result with twice the effort, and their ghost powers would cancel each other out.

However, the circle of friends has no such concerns at all. The abilities of the weird stories they control are obviously different, but they combine each other's weird story abilities into a whole.

The level of the ghost story reached by each individual does not exceed level 30, which is within the safe range monitored by a venue, but the ghost story power erupted as a whole far exceeds the limit.

It is far stronger than the previous special forces captain, and only slightly weaker than the female beast once seen in Miss Black Goat's house.

And these are just the friends who maintain the level 30 ghost story power, and these are just dozens of friends.

Sister Shui has more than 4,300 friends like this.

Uh……

It was not until now that Zhong Xie realized how terrifying and huge a monster A Shui's circle of friends was. At least when they worked together, they were no worse than any of the root ghost stories.

The prerequisite is that Sister Shui has her own special powers.

According to what Zhong Xie has learned from his research on ghost story literature during this period, every root ghost story is the embodiment of "power", that is, the combination of "authority" and "force".

"Power" represents one's own unique laws, and "force" is the energy needed to apply these laws.

It now seems that the circle of friends definitely has enough "power", but it is not clear whether it has "authority".

Thinking of this, Zhong Xie couldn't help but straighten his back.

The person standing behind him is at least at the "Half-Step Origin of Ghost Story" level. Although it is a loose version, it is still stronger than the backing of others, right?
However, he does not have too many "favors" in his circle of friends now, and this time he will owe a lot of "favors" again.

Strictly speaking, his circle of friends cannot be considered as his backing, because they all have their own ideas and will not unite and just listen to his orders.

Unless his entire circle of friends owes him a lot of favors.

Wait, if they owe me a favor I can ask them to do something for me; but if I owe everyone a favor...

Isn’t it that my circle of friends is supposed to protect me?

As long as the debt is large enough, the debtor will become the boss, right?

These people must be afraid that I will die, right?
Unfortunately, Zhong Xie’s idea was dismissed as soon as it came to mind, because it is not easy to owe a huge favor to the entire circle of friends.

It is not difficult to borrow tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan from online loans, but it is meaningless. If you want the bank to be reluctant to let you die, your debt will often be tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.

Why should they lend it to you?

You still have to improve your own status first. Only with capital can you attract more favors from others.

Zhong Xie made up his mind silently, and his eyes were filled with passion as he looked at the young deans.

That’s right, his fellow patients from Jinchuan are his capital.

As the saying goes, in a good workplace, your colleagues are your connections and capital.

It turned out to be true.

"I'm so stupid, really. I just thought Zhong Xie was coming for our Young Dean. I didn't know he had made sufficient preparations and brought so many puppets with him."

The leader looked at the huge crowd and felt his scalp tingling for a moment. He quickly reminded the others: "Quickly lift the restrictions on the ghost talk power and make the venue send us out by breaking the rules, otherwise it will be too late!"

But it's too late. These people in the circle of friends are so smart that they had predicted this long ago.

Now that they are here, they can't just do nothing, so they gather their ghost story power on a plain-looking friend in the team, and use his ghost stories to compete with the five people in front of them.

This guy's ghost story ability is to consume the ghost story power together with the target at a ratio of 2:1 until one side can no longer hold on.

You pay 2 points of Weird Talk Power, and the selected target loses 1 point of Weird Talk Power.

It seems like a loss, and in fact it is really a loss, but sometimes it can often have miraculous effects.

For example, now he has the support of his friends, and he will definitely make money by damaging the ghost story power together with the five people in front of him.

In just two seconds, the five people's strange talk power was drained, making it impossible for them to burst out strange talk power beyond level 35 to violate the rules of the venue. They could only watch the crowd surround them like five lambs to be slaughtered.

The circle of friends tied up the five men, gagged them and threw them in front of Zhong Xie. At this time, the pursuers behind Zhong Xie arrived and their faces changed when they saw the scene.

Those who reacted very quickly activated their own strange stories immediately and left quickly in violation of the venue rules.

As for those who were slow to react, they were naturally targeted by Brother Gongsun and thrown into the corridor together with the five young deans.

All together, there are twelve people.

After dealing with the trouble, the circle of friends began to surround Zhong Xie, and were curious about everything about this Ninth Brother.

And the rules within the circle of friends are obviously that there are no rules.

Although Zhong Xie is the ninth brother and is the most respected among the top nine, his friends don't care about the rules. They just ask questions, and a few beautiful aunts also start to take action.

"Is it him who brought that rookie Jiuyao back and forth from Wangcheng?"

"I heard that they also killed a pseudo-origin monster toad?"

"I know. We can also step into the Temple of Time and conquer the rules of the origin of time and space!"

"You got the colorful gold Origin-level Kaidan gun from that super giant Kaidan egg, right? Can you show us something?" "You're so handsome and so powerful. Wow, you really have eight-pack abs? Well, don't be so cold, you're beautiful too~"

Zhong Xie: “…”

Although he is a cute, cheerful and talkative little boy, he really can't handle so many curious babies.

Moreover, the words of this group of people were full of loopholes. Zhong Xie had no idea what strange things Jiu Yaodi had said to them. Why did he kill Wang Cheng back and forth?

And that toad is not even close to the level of the Pseudo-Origin, and the Space-Time Temple is even more ridiculous...

The only point that is relatively correct is that he is indeed a handsome guy with a good figure, while the iceberg Shen Junyi next to him doesn't care at all when others praise his beauty.

Zhong Xie could even sense that this guy was a little proud, so he secretly added something to his own observation record.

If this is a scientific experiment, then the documentary in the female beast's nest is far from over.

The achievement of the ghost story incident has been obtained, but Zhong Xie did this kind of thing without any utilitarian motives, purely for science.

Fun is also science.

"Everyone, take these people and follow me to the box first. It is inconvenient to entertain you in the corridor."

Zhong Xie led the other friends in his circle to the box, and this move also attracted praise from these friends.

"Private room? Brother Jiu, are you the VIP here?"

"I didn't expect Brother Nine to get a VIP gold card. Can you tell me what he did?"

"Just out of curiosity, how much can this gold card sell for?"

From things like this, Zhong Xie could also feel that these guys were extremely supportive, so the atmosphere here was extremely harmonious.

If he originally joined the circle of friends just for fun and wanted to use it to gain some benefits, now he really likes these guys.

At least I like these guys in the venue, because they are basically entertainment-oriented, loyal and resilient.

"How much do you know about this venue?" Zhong Xie listened to these people's chattering and realized that they seemed to know a little about the venue, even the VIP gold card and so on.

At this time, all the friends immediately looked at a handsome guy with orange glasses who was wearing his suit backwards in the crowd. It seemed that this guy was a recognized playboy and should know the venue best.

"The service here is pretty good. As long as you give them a thumbs up, you can basically play whatever you want. As for the VIP gold card you just mentioned, I heard that you need to make a huge contribution to the venue's officials, but I don't know what it is specifically." The handsome guy in a suit said, "As for what exactly this official is..."

He glanced at the surveillance camera above the corridor and continued, "Wait until we get to your box."

Zhong Xie nodded in understanding.

The handsome guy in the suit held out his hand to him and introduced himself: "I'm ranked 77th in my circle of friends, so just call me Qi Qiliu. Brother Jiu, can you tell me how you got this VIP gold card?"

Zhong Xie looked at him and did not answer his question first. Instead, he was a little surprised: "You are ranked 77th, why are you called Qi Qiliu?"

"It's taboo." Qi Qiliu briefly explained the situation, "Brother Jiu, your ghost story level should not have risen to more than 70, so you don't know about this."

He continued, "Sister Shui said that two cities further north of Wangcheng, there is a root ghost story that particularly likes the number seven, so the repeated use of '7' was banned. When you level up at level 76, the ghost story information displayed in your mind will directly be level 78. This is to avoid taboos."

"Ah?" Zhong Xie would never have thought that the reason would be so outrageous. All he could say was that ghost stories were truly magical.

"Then what will happen if these two numbers are stacked together?" Zhong Xie was still curious.

"It will be secretly modified. The root seems to be easy to talk to, but if she changes it back to '77' again and again, you will be in trouble." Qi Qiliu shrugged, "This kind of thing should be avoided if possible. Brother Jiu, you should also be careful in the future."

Zhong Xie nodded: "Okay, what about the person who was originally ranked 76th?"

"That guy's name is Zhang Qiliu, and he has nothing to do with me." Qi Qiliu waved his hand, indicating that there was still a difference between their names.

At this time, Zhong Xie and his friends passed by the front desk. He became interested in the VIP gold card that Qi Qiliu mentioned, so he patted Qi Qiliu and said, "Look, this is how the gold card is obtained."

He walked up to the three receptionists and said, "Hello, please give me a VIP card."

"Okay, Mr. Zhong Xie, please wait a moment." The receptionist smiled politely and handed a card shining with diamonds to Zhong Xie, "This is your VIP diamond card, please keep it."

"And help me switch my original box to a dark style that combines a laboratory and a dungeon." Zhong Xie took out the card and waved it in front of Qi Qiliu, "Is this card more advanced than the gold card you mentioned?"

"Of course." Qi Qiliu's eyes widened behind his orange glasses. "Brother Jiu, your status is higher than I thought. Sister Shui is also very successful. She can even climb up to your high position."

Zhong Xie: “…”

Anyway, this is the situation within the circle of friends, it’s really hard to understand.

He thought of something and said directly, "The twelve people who were arrested just now should have this kind of diamond card. They won't need it in the future anyway. Take it if you need it."

When they heard the words "you won't need it in the future", the twelve people with their mouths sealed widened their eyes and kept whining, trying to attract the attention of the receptionist. Che Hao, who had returned to his original state, did the same, but the receptionist still maintained a weird smile and ignored the thirteen people who were once Diamond Card VIPs.

When Qi Qiliu got the news, he quickly ran to one of them, reached out and felt around the young dean, and soon found an identical diamond card, which he happily put away.

The other friends rushed to grab the clothes of the remaining eleven young deans who were tied up. They found the diamond cards and looked at Zhong Xie.

"Divide them among yourselves." Zhong Xie himself had a diamond card, so naturally he didn't need these things. He didn't say it explicitly, but the eleven people who got the diamond cards understood it.

This is considered as repaying the favor of eleven people.

As for the rest of the human feelings...

Let’s see if we can use these Young Deans to pay it back.

These young deans have excellent abilities, but the offspring produced by the Ghost Gun in them can only survive for five minutes, so they need to mix in Che Hao's genes.

Since the offspring will need the "breeding" characteristics of Kuster's rats, they may also need the "paradox" genes of Kuster. In short, more experiments are needed.

It seems that Che Hao is really a good guy. Compared with the innocent, unmarried and childless Miss Black Goat, this guy is the real "Supreme Mother Goddess" and "the ancestor of thousands of descendants."

And now, the Supreme Mother Goddess was bound in the dungeon of the box, along with her twelve sisters, preparing to be baptized by Kuster.

"Next, I will demonstrate to you the power of my colorful golden origin-level ghost story gun." Zhong Xie's smile was full of malice. He naturally had other intentions in showing these friends the effect of the ghost story gun.

He needs the weird story factor from Sister Shui.

　Originally I was going to write the name Che Hao as someone I hate, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that I am too kind. I will do it next time.
