Zongman, you don't follow the rules at all, right?

"You can't do it, right? So, you have to learn to be self-reliant!"

This sentence made everyone stunned.

Be self-reliant?

Of course they wanted to, but the haunted paradise was no joke. The cost of trial and error was very high. If they made a slightly bigger mistake, they would lose their lives.

"Future missions will only become increasingly dangerous. If your own strength doesn't keep pace with this gradual change, no matter how precarious you are now, you will only become even more precarious in the future. There may even be no such thing as a 'future'."

"Therefore, you must not covet your current security. Instead, you must use this security to become stronger!"

"Think about it. If you get enough rewards, points, Paradise Coins, or even some unique equipment or special abilities in this mission, wouldn't your chances of survival in the next mission be much higher, even without me?"

"Even more! Because of the significant improvement you received in this mission, you'll have a certain level of strength in the next mission. Won't you be able to act more easily and gain more opportunities and rewards? If this cycle continues, it will be like a snowball, making you constantly stronger!"

After a pause, Hui Shi waved his hand and continued passionately, "So everyone, for your own sake, so that you won't be hunted by these monsters in the future, become stronger!"

"Oh~ Huishi, you are right! I want to become stronger! I don't want to be chased by those ghosts and monsters anymore, I want to chase them instead!" Kiana was the first to respond, and she said excitedly.

"That's it, Kiana! Great realization!" Hui Shi immediately gave a thumbs up.

Everyone felt a little itchy after hearing this, but they still had some complicated feelings in their hearts. After all, they had not forgotten the various outrageous operations that Hui Shi had done before.

And when they think about it carefully, they always feel that Hui Shi said and did this not simply to make them stronger and let them learn to be self-reliant.

Hui Shi, maybe she wanted to cause trouble but couldn't just leave them here, so she tricked them into joining her, right?

With another big wave of his hand, Hui Shi pointed to the classroom door and said, "Then the first step is to wait for the ghost parents to return, and then go to the next teaching building to harvest new leeks... Defeat new ghosts and gain more rewards to strengthen yourself!"

"Oh! Go forward!" Kiana was completely excited and did not notice the pause in Huishi's words. She raised her hand and responded.

But the others were not as excited as Kiana. They heard the pauses in Hui Shi's words very clearly.

Therefore, the slightly ignited fire in their hearts quickly subsided, and they looked at Hui Shi expressionlessly.

Huishi, next time you try to trick people, please don't let anything slip. We almost believed it.

Chapter 23 The target number is too small

Regardless of whether Huishi is really thinking about everyone or just wants to stir up trouble and think about everyone at the same time.

Anyway, everyone knew that they couldn't stop Hui Shi.

Once the ghost parents come back, it will be time for Huishi to take action.

——Half an hour later——

The ghost parents came back from their "harvest" and were now standing in front of the desk where Huishi was sitting.

At this moment, they were not as huge as when they first appeared. This seemed to be their ability to control the size of their bodies. When they first appeared, their bodies were so huge that they occupied the entire classroom corridor. The size of their palms alone was larger than that of a normal adult.

But now, they are about the same size as a normal adult, or even thinner.

While removing the dust, everyone gathered at the back of the classroom, watching the scene in front of them with some fear and awkwardness.

The ghost parents returned successfully, bringing back the spoils of their robbery of their own kind.

It was clearly a terrifying existence that was supposed to be hunting them down, but now, it had a dark face and a heavy expression, and the feeling of being angry but not being able to speak out was very obvious.

It's like that... you go to the bully to reason with him, but instead of reasoning with him, he threatens you to join him in bullying others.

The ghost parents will never forget the surprised expressions on the faces of the ghosts in the teaching building when they found them and tried to rob them.

"You...is this all you've gained?"

The ghost parents had heavy expressions, and Hui Shi's expression was also heavy.

Because the harvest now on the table is not ideal, no, it should be said that it is very unsatisfactory!

There’s no need to count carefully, just a glance will reveal that after the ghost parents robbed a teaching building, they only brought back… 67 Paradise Coins.

They are only 9933 Paradise Coins away from the target set for them when they were gray.

"Tick, tick, tick~"

Huishi supported his cheek with his left hand and tapped the table lightly with his right index finger.

After a moment, Hui Shi spoke again, "I asked you to bring back at least 67 yuan, but you only brought back yuan?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you look down on me? Or, because you're threatened by a human like me, you're so angry that you're messing with this to disgust me?"

"..." x2

The ghost parents remained silent.

But the figure standing there as punishment looked very much like an office worker being scolded by his superior.

As Yukinoshita and the others watched this scene, the absurd and outrageous feeling in their hearts surged again.

"I have to say, you guys are actually quite courageous."

"You're dissatisfied with me, so you don't dare to resist me openly. You plan to do something secretly to disgust me, but this little trick of yours is no different from resisting me openly."

"The target was 67 yuan, but you only brought back yuan, not even yuan!"

"Oh!"

He seemed to be getting angrier as he spoke, and when he did, he slammed his hand on the table, startling everyone and the ghosts present.

"Do you still want to do this?! If you don't want to, there are plenty of people who will do it... and there are plenty of ghosts who will do it! If you brought back 67 or yuan, I wouldn't bother to argue with you. Even or yuan would be fine. But you only brought back yuan. How dare you? What? Are you trying to challenge my bottom line?"

After the words were spoken, all the people and ghosts fell silent.

At the back of the classroom, Toyokawa Shoko twitched her eyes and whispered, "I remember hearing that sentence the day before yesterday when I was shopping with Huishi and heard a store manager scolding an employee in the same way."

As soon as the words fell, everyone turned to look at Toyokawa Shoko, their expressions as strange as they could be.

"Change the rest of the sentence to 'Even if you complete 70% or 80% of this month's performance targets, or even 50% or 60%, I probably wouldn't be so angry. But if you don't even complete 10%, you…'"

"Mr. Toyokawa, there's no need to continue. I can already guess what's coming next." Yukinoshita rubbed his eyebrows and said speechlessly.

"This is the pain of the workplace. I just didn't expect to see such a scene in this dangerous place, and the one being taught a lesson is a ghost. This feeling... is indescribable." Shizuka Hiratsuka said with a twitch of her mouth.

"Huh~" He exhaled, calmed himself down, sat down again, pointed at the 67 yuan on the table, and asked, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Explain why there's only this much?"

At the same moment the words fell, everyone felt an illusion appear before their eyes. They seemed to see a store manager asking his employees the reason.

Then everyone shook their heads, and the illusion disappeared.

"..."xN

The numb feeling appeared again, and then everyone tacitly decided not to complain anymore because they were tired.

The perspective returns to Huishi's side.

She was like an angry boss who had just finished a tantrum, with her arms folded and a sullen look on her face, waiting for her employees to explain the reason.

On the employees' side... uh, on the ghost parents' side, they are actually also feeling very nervous.

There is no need to talk about being defeated by humans and being threatened by humans to rob their own kind.

Now that they have returned from the robbery, they are being taught a lesson like subordinates. The anger in their hearts has been rising!

When did we become your employees?! What do you mean by "I don't want to do this job, but there are plenty of people who can do it"?!

"Speak up, where is your explanation?" Huishi slammed the table, acting like a classic angry boss.

The anger that wanted to flip the table was instantly extinguished.

After a few more seconds of silence, the ghost parents finally spoke and explained the reason.

"That's... only this much."

These five words sounded very cautious.

Although they did not intend to do so, they were unconsciously forced to take on the identity of employees.

"Is that all?" Hui Shi repeated the ghost parents' words, but with an obvious "Are you kidding me?" meaning.

"That's not the answer I want. What I'm asking is why there's only this much? Did you keep it for yourself? Or is it because we're both ghosts that you didn't take it all? Or are you simply poor?"

"No, no, no, the last one is impossible no matter how you say it."

"Even if the ordinary ghosts in a teaching building are not rich, it's impossible that they can't even come up with a thousand together, right?"

Hui Shi leaned forward slightly, emitting unstable energy fluctuations, and said seriously: "Answer me."

"It's the last one."

"Our consumption standards are different from those of humans."

"Is such that……"

As if sensing that Huishi was planning to take action, the ghost parents did not dare to explain slowly. The two of them spoke back and forth and quickly explained the situation clearly.

Why can I only get 67 yuan of paradise coins after cutting down the ghost leeks in an entire teaching building?

And why can the raincoat ghost, the female ghost, and the current ghost parents, who are similar to the boss guarding the level, only take out about one or two hundred paradise coins?

Normally, one or two hundred should be the amount that ordinary ghosts would take out, but for a boss guarding the gate like them, they would spend at least thousands of Paradise Coins, and over ten thousand is not impossible.

But the ghosts that Hui encountered, whether they were ordinary ghosts or ghosts guarding bosses, could not produce many Paradise Coins and seemed very poor.

It’s not that they are really poor. The paradise coins they took out are considered normal in this strange paradise.

The real reason is that the monetary value of the Ghost Paradise, when converted into real money, is almost 100 to 1.

In other words, one hundred yuan in reality is equal to one yuan of park coins in the Strange Park, one thousand yuan in reality is equal to ten yuan of park coins in the Strange Park, and so on.

The 67 yuan paradise coins brought back by the ghost parents are equivalent to 6700.

The raincoat ghost, the female ghost, and the ghost parents all spent hundreds of Paradise Coins, which is equivalent to spending tens of thousands of yuan at one time.

From this perspective, they are not only not poor, but also very rich.

After learning about this, Hui Shi fell silent. She had thought about the difference in values, but she didn't expect the difference to be so big.

"So, it's entirely possible for me to achieve my small goal of 50,000. I even suddenly feel that the target amount is a bit low." Hui Shi said after sorting out the situation.

ps: I’m launching a trial version today. Once again, I’d like to ask for your support from all my readers. Thank you very much!

Chapter 24 Hui Shi: I am very honest

"Yukino, and Mr. Hiratsuka." Huitoki held his chin with both hands and looked at the two seniors seriously.

As for the two senior members, when they were dusted and heard their names called out so seriously, they subconsciously became serious as well, and at the same time felt a little worried.

Although they had not been together for long, they could already see how abstract Hui Shi was.

"As senior members, why are you unaware of the consumption standards of the Ghost Paradise?"

After the words fell, Yukinoshita Yukino and Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at each other.

After a few seconds, they both answered.

"Haotoki-san, I'm just a player who completed a mission. The reward given after completing the mission was not Paradise Coins, but only points. As for Paradise Coins, I learned about them from the instructions within the game system." Yukinoshita Yukino replied.

"I only completed two missions, which isn't much. Moreover, during the two missions I completed, I was dodging and escaping the whole time. I had no time to study and discover other things. As for the Paradise Coins, I was just lucky in the last mission. I found 5 yuan of Paradise Coins in a drawer." Shizuka Hiratsuka spread her hands and said helplessly.

It’s not that they know but don’t tell, but they simply don’t have the time to understand the consumption level in the Ghost Paradise.

"Didn't the other senior people you met tell you?" Hui Shi asked again.

"Mr. Haitoki, I've said this before, but you might not have heard it. The veterans Yukinoshita and I encountered weren't in much better situations than us. When faced with demons, they could only dodge and escape first. They couldn't be like you..."

Looking at the ghost parents and ghost baby quietly beside them, Shizuka Hiratsuka's mouth twitched and continued: "It's impossible for you to... oppress the ghosts in return."

"Hmm~"

Hui Shi rubbed his chin and then said, "I feel like I'm quite honest, but not as good as some of my seniors."

Recalling the various operations of the living devils he had seen in his previous life, Hui Shi felt that his behavior of just grabbing a little money was too insignificant.

However, Yukinoshita and others did not think so.

The victim's ghost parents don't think so either.

Are you still being honest? If you act recklessly, you really intend to demolish the school, right?

Not paying attention to the strange looks on everyone's faces, Hui Shi said to the ghost's parents, "Now that the money situation is clear, and I'm not an unreasonable person, I'll let you off with a little help."

After saying that, Huishi turned to look at everyone and said, "You should all have an idea of what to do next, right?"
