After posting the message, Qi Wu opened the chat software and messaged Zhou Yuanshan privately.

[Qi Wu: I've come to collect the bounties for the water ghost and the pig-headed man.]

That's right. Although Qi Wu didn't claim the bounty in advance, he could still receive the reward after resolving the corresponding extraordinary event.

Actually, to be precise, bounty missions cannot be claimed in advance; the money is collected afterward with supporting documentation.

Qi Wu waited for about ten minutes before Zhou Yuanshan replied, sending a friend request.

[Zhou Yuanshan: This is Su Wan, a logistics staff member from our Countermeasures Bureau. She's in charge of collecting the bounty. You can talk to her about the details.]

Qi Wu added the other person as a friend, and the other person accepted the request instantly, as if they had been waiting for him.

Qi Wu: Claim the bounty.

[Su Wan: The Qingchuan water ghost and the gluttonous restaurant's bounty?]

[Su Wan: Captain Zhou has already told me that you don't need to submit any materials.]

[Su Wan: The former is 1.2 million yuan, the latter is 400,000 yuan. Please send me your bank account number, and I will transfer the money to you shortly.]

Qi Wu glanced at the reward amount.

The water ghost has a bounty of 1.2 million, and the pig-headed man has a bounty of 400,000.

It's three times worse.

Qi Wu was not surprised at all.

He just saw it on the forum.

Generally speaking, the bounty for vengeful spirits is much higher than that for ghost stories.

The reason is simple: vengeful spirits kill anyone they see, and if left unchecked, they will cause large-scale casualties.

Ghost stories are different.

Ghost stories have specific rules; as long as you don't trigger the murder rule, they won't bother you.

Moreover, many ghost stories only allow a maximum of one person to be killed at a time.

The gluttony restaurant, a type of ghost story that targets multiple people, is considered one of the more dangerous ghost stories.

Soon, Su Wan sent over several more forms.

[Su Wan: Please fill out this form to register how to resolve the side effects of the ghost story items obtained from the Gluttony Restaurant.]

[Su Wan: By the way, what's the general situation regarding your superpowers?]

Qi Wu first sent the bank card number to Su Wan.

[Su Wan: Received. Payment will be credited to your account in three to four business days.]

Qi Wu replied with an OK.

Then, he opened the form that Su Wan had sent him.

The form is online; you don't need to download it, just fill it out directly.

Qi Wu filled in the forms one by one, then switched back to the forum and glanced at the post he had made.

Wow, it's only been less than ten minutes since I posted it, and there are already several replies.

[Could you please post a photo of the water ghost corpse?]

[No picture, no proof?]

Where to trade?

Qi Wu went into the bathroom and unzipped the body bag.

The water ghost's corpse lay quietly inside.

Without changing his expression, Qi Wu took out his phone and started snapping photos of the water ghost corpse on the ground.

He uploaded the photo to the Super Forum.

[Message me privately for details regarding the transaction.]

After posting the message, Qi Wu returned to the living room.

Liu Yang, who had been waiting nearby, immediately asked upon his return, "How did it go? Did anyone come to make a deal?"

Qi Wu shook his head: "Let's wait a bit, wait until there are more people to choose a suitable one, don't rush to decide."

"By the way, would you like to come out with me tonight to continue searching for supernatural events?"

Zhao Peng immediately nodded. "Absolutely. Anyway, I'll just be lying in the dorm scrolling through my phone, so I might as well go out and have some fun."

So, Qi Wu sent the website address of the Extraordinary Forum to the two of them.

"You two help me look through the bounty posts in Donghai City on the forum, and we'll split the money after we solve them."

Liu Yang glanced down at the forum and shook his head.

"Let's forget about splitting the money."

Zhao Peng chimed in, "Yeah, to be honest, we're just accessories; we can't really help much on the spot."

Qi Wu glanced at them and said, "That won't do. I can't let you work for nothing."

Liu Yang looked at Qi Wu earnestly: "I don't want the money, I hope Brother Wu can help us become extraordinary as well."

Zhao Peng remained silent, but he also looked at Qi Wu.

Qi Wu readily agreed: "No problem."

Zhao Peng and Liu Yang looked up at the same time, somewhat surprised, not expecting Qi Wu to agree so readily.

Qi Wu simply smiled and said, "Didn't Brother Peng ask me to form a superhuman organization before?"

"I definitely want you all to become extraordinary individuals as well, otherwise how can I build an extraordinary organization?"

"There can't be only one superhuman among the three of us, can there?"

"Is that considered a supernatural organization, or my personal fan club?"

Zhao Peng and Liu Yang were both very happy to hear this.

Zhao Peng, in particular, took a deep breath, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

He knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I have wandered for half my life, and I only regret that I have not met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon me, I would like to be your godfather."

Qi Wu's lips twitched: "I'm afraid you'll stab me one day."

Zhao Peng stood up, looking aggrieved. "Brother Wu, am I that kind of person?"

Qi Wu stopped rambling on with him.

It was getting late, so the three of them went downstairs to grab a bite to eat.

There's a street near the entrance of Jinhua Residential Area with many restaurants along it, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

They found a noodle shop; it wasn't big, but it was fairly clean.

Three bowls of noodles, with an egg and sausage.

Qi Wu treated us to dinner tonight, indulging in a real splurge.

After all, the 1.6 million bounty will be paid out in a few days, so what's wrong with being a little extravagant?

During the meal, Liu Yang and Zhao Peng each held a mobile phone, browsing the bounties for Donghai City on the forum, and taking screenshots of the ones they found suitable.

Qi Wu ate noodles while chatting with each of the people who sent him private messages.

I talked to about seven or eight people. Either their prices were too low, clearly indicating they were looking for a bargain, or their products were unreliable, just some junk to fool people.

Until he saw a private message from someone.

[I want the water ghost's corpse. I'll make a book on corpse-driving techniques, which can turn vengeful spirits into corpse-refining techniques, allowing them to unleash a portion of their power in life. However, it's useless against ghost stories and monsters.]

Qi Wu stared at the message for several seconds.

It was actually a secret technique for refining corpses.

Qi Wu understood that the secret techniques of corpse refining were useless against supernatural tales.

After all, no matter what form ghost stories take, their essence seems to be a rule of murder: after death, no corpse is left behind, only ghost story props.

Without corpses, it's impossible to create a corpse refinement process.

From another perspective, ghost stories are actually immortal.

Because those who overuse supernatural items will slowly become new supernatural phenomena.

If you see ghost stories as a rule for murder, it will never disappear; it will only transform between the two forms of ghost stories and props.

But for some reason, the Corpse Refining Technique was ineffective against demonic beasts.

The monsters clearly have corpses.

Qi Wu pondered that it might be related to the source of the power.

The source of power for demonic beasts is different from that of vengeful spirits, which is why the art of corpse refining cannot be used.

With that in mind, Qi Wu started chatting with the other party. They talked back and forth for more than ten minutes and finally settled on the deal.

However, the other party is in Wuxi City, which is far from Donghai City, and it will take a long time for them to get here.

However, the two have already added each other as friends, and the other party said that they are already buying plane tickets and will be coming soon, and will contact each other then.

However, the other party did not reveal their real name, only claiming to be a corpse driver.

Qi Wu didn't reveal his real name, referring to himself as Superman.
