"Really? You've worked hard! Your bonus will double the month the company goes public."

"Long live the boss!" the monster employees cheered.

Qin Jing commissioned them to develop a betting software. Although the conditions and technology for mobile payment and mobile messaging are not yet mature, since the internet is already available, a tool like betting for posting short articles and pictures is more than sufficient.

"Boss, is the plan to make this a huge success once it's completed?" Sisi asked.

"No, you can't make much money with Weibo. I didn't plan to make money from it at first. I just wanted to make it popular by attaching it to my laptop," Qin Jing said.

P.S.: [I don't know if it will make it onto the update charts. This book's chance to make a comeback depends on this.]

Thank you everyone for your support, and thank you Yueyibai for the generous donation!

Section 103, Chapter 37: Of course, Qin Jing is the most expensive.

"Huh? It's not making money?" Sisi asked in surprise.

"Boss! If we're not going to make money, what's the point of making these?" the parrot asked, puzzled.

"Money can never be earned enough; let's think more about how to change the world," Qin Jing declared, opening her arms wide.

"Xiao Jing (the boss) is so handsome! Huh?" Whale and Nan Nan were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other. Was there another competitor?

"Boss, are you telling the truth?" The parrot looked deeply moved.

"We live in this world to change it, what other reason is there?" Qin Bus said matter-of-factly.

"Boss, I will follow you until you die!" the parrot swore with tears streaming down its face.

"Oh, let's work hard together." Qin Busi indicated that talented monsters were welcome, no matter how many there were.

"Wow, that's too exaggerated. Are all bosses this good at bluffing?" Sisi, standing to the side, didn't seem to be buying it.

"Talking is not enough. I have already come up with a general plan. First, we will create a laptop that monsters can use freely, that is easy to carry, and that can be used for entertainment in addition to work and study! Then we will make the computer tablet and miniaturize it. We will not only make computers, but we will make the best computers."

"We want to make 'Banana' the number one product on the Penglai Continent, so that monsters will think of bananas whenever they hear the word 'laptop'! They'll think of bananas whenever they see a cell phone! They'll even have bananas in their hands while eating and sleeping!" Qin Bus raised his fist to the sky and said.

"Oh my god!!! Boss! We will always follow you!" This time, Xixi and Nannan held hands, full of anticipation for such a beautiful future.

"What are they doing in there?" Ji Haitang asked, peering through the glass from the air.

Because of the glass barrier, the two tengu girls flying in the air couldn't hear the conversation inside.

"They're definitely plotting something sinister. Look at this human with their arms outstretched, they're probably saying something like, 'You're all my wings!' I saw right through this human's cute appearance and kind aura, and I knew the ugly face hidden beneath it all," Wenwen said with a serious expression.

"Is that so?" Ji Haitang Yuli looked at Qin Jing, who was seriously discussing something with the monsters inside, and it didn't seem like she was making a declaration about the Crystal Palace.

"I'll expose him!" Wenwen exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly.

"Whoa, don't push me!" Yu Li stumbled from the push and accidentally bumped into something.

The sensors above the research institute lit up, and then an alarm went off.

"Oh no!" Yu Li and Wen Wen exclaimed, trying to run away.

"Who's eavesdropping there!" Sisi shouted. Since they had plenty of money to spend on upgrades, they decided to build a defense system as well.

Several drones suddenly appeared at the research institute, blocking their escape route from above, while dozens of defensive devices on the roof were aimed at Wenwen and Yuli in the sky with their infrared guns.

"Hahaha..." The two tengu girls helplessly raised their hands and fell to the ground, surrendering.

"Ah, you must be Wenwen, right?" Qin Jing had previously investigated the information about the Tengu Girl.

"Humans! You wicked capitalists, I will not give up exposing you! Yu Li! Don't let this kid's appearance fool you," Wenwen said.

"Xiao Jing isn't a bad person!" Seba stood in front of Qin Jing, holding a curry stick in his hand in a ready-to-fight stance.

Upon hearing the girl's name, Qin Jing's eyes lit up. She stepped forward, grasped the girl's hand, and said, "You must be Senior Ji Haitang. I've heard so much about you."

"Huh? Do you know me?" Yu Li exclaimed in surprise, bewildered. Could it be that Wenwen wasn't lying this time? Is this human a walking cannon?

"Xiao Jing... openly cheated on me?" Whale said, shocked.

"?" Little Seba put the curry stick back into his ahoge.

"Dear Flower Fruit! It's me, Fox Tail," Qin Jing said with a smile.

"Fox Tail, darling! It was you!" Yu Li exclaimed in surprise.

"Wait! Yu Li! How come you're so familiar with humans? Aren't you always staying in your dorm and rarely going out?" Wenwen asked in surprise, as if she had been cheated on.

"I didn't expect this either, Wenwen. This kid is someone I've known online for over two months. He's definitely not the bad guy you're talking about," Yu Li explained to Qin Jing with a smile.

"Hey... just two months, and we were just online friends! Yu Li, have you really bewitched me like this? Compared to an online friend, you don't trust me, someone you've known for a century?" Wenwen said, heartbroken.

"Anyway, this whole thing must have been messed up by you, Wenwen, and then you shirked responsibility and acted like this out of spite! With my abilities, I can find out the truth in no time," Yu Li said.

"Hmph!" Wenwen was speechless and turned her head away.

"I'm so sorry, dear Fox Tail! My friend has caused you so much trouble," Yu Li apologized to Qin Jing.

"No, compared to those trivial matters, Senior Ji Haitang, you have remarkable talent. Please be sure to seek financing cooperation with us for your newspaper. I believe that as long as there is sufficient funding, and everyone pools their wisdom, your strengths will definitely be recognized and praised by everyone," Qin Jing said.

"Huh? What's going on? This development? Is this the subtext of asking you to become my wings?" Wenwen asked in surprise.

“But my newspaper isn’t very good.” Ji Haitang Yuli hesitated, completely unprepared for Qin Jing’s reaction.

"It's okay if you don't go out; you can work from home. Just leave your contact information. An outstanding journalist like yourself deserves our cooperation. We want to establish partnerships with all the outstanding professionals in the academy," Qin Jing said enthusiastically.

"Once you join, you'll immediately receive a large sum of funding, and you won't have to worry about finding a job after graduation, because you'll already be a shareholder of a thriving company."

"Well... I'll think about it..." Ji Haitang was persuaded.

Although Ji Haitang is a shut-in who doesn't fit in with the Tengu group, she has considerable abilities as a reporter. She can manipulate her own consciousness and generate related images through media such as computers and mobile phones by simply inputting keywords, although these images can only be things that happen afterward.

Although this ability seems no different from using Baidu or Google, it can sometimes reveal the truth hidden behind events. If used well, it is a very powerful weapon, at least for Qin Jing.

When the so-called news is not the truth, her power is revealed. For politicians and unscrupulous businessmen in human society, she is simply the most terrifying natural enemy.

Qin Jing finally persuaded Ji Haitang Yuli through various persuasion efforts, bringing her into the collaborative team and using her reading and writing abilities to start a media business together.

“Yes, Wen, you should join us too. One of the conditions I accepted Xiaojing’s invitation was that you join us,” Ji Haitang said.

“What! I will not yield to money!” Wenwen refused resolutely.

"If you join, your salary and benefits will be the same as Ji Haitang's. There will be no restrictions on what you do outside of work, and we can also help you get back the newspaper's operating rights," Qin Jing said.

"There's really no way around it, but let me make it clear beforehand that I won't be your lackey or say anything good about you," Wenwen said firmly. She was a principled fighter for freedom of speech and fairness of information.

"Yes, I was counting on the authenticity of your news from the beginning." Qin Jing smiled and extended her hand.

"Then, please guide me, Boss Qin Jing," Wenwen said, shaking Qin Jing's hand.

After that, no more news smearing Qin Jing appeared, while information clarifying her situation emerged in various media outlets. The School Daily even started a special column called "There's a Good Human in the School." Like a brainwashing advertisement, it appeared in every corner of the school's monsters' lives.

With the launch of the Banana brand laptop, it is thinner and lighter, and very sturdy. It is not afraid of being dropped or smashed. It can be used as a brick in a fight and can stop bullets on the battlefield.

Most importantly, it also has entertainment features specifically developed for yokai, allowing them to use laptops to surf the internet and relax, which is very popular among the younger generation of yokai.

Shortly thereafter, something called a scarf became popular at the academy.

Monsters can upload photos, write articles, and share their experiences and observations there, and many people will come to forward and comment on them.

There, several celebrities and influential figures wrote about how the humans in the elementary school district were happy to help the demons and achieved excellent grades. They not only cheered on the dog demon, but also helped the mermaid classmate, took care of the little lion's daily life, and did many, many good deeds.

They also provided energy-boosting food for the track and field team. Tibetan antelope Lingcang, who won first place in the last track and field competition, said, "Since eating Qin Jing's cookies, my back doesn't ache, my legs don't feel tired, and I feel like I'm flying when I run. Humans who can make desserts are never bad people!"

The inventor sisters at the banana company's research institute also praised him highly, saying things like, "He lost fair and square." and "There's no more generous boss in the world."

They also uploaded photos of Nan Nan touching her newly bought CNC machine tool, smiling happily.

A chef at a cooking studio praised him highly, saying he was enthusiastic about researching recipes that various monsters liked. He also frequently uploaded videos of the desserts he made, along with the recipes, which received numerous likes and shares from bear, squirrel, and ant monsters—all of whom love sweets.

Qin Jing himself also began writing a monster observation diary, recording his research on monster habits, preferences, and lifestyles, which helped different monster races to understand each other.

For example, short articles explaining the ingredients and preparation methods of the biscuits that the antelope tribe likes; the differences between how to pet feline and canine monsters on the head; and how to never let a dolphin monster eat pufferfish.

Although she doesn't follow many monsters, the monsters who like her have started to respectfully call Qin Jing 'Professor Monster,' making her a well-known little V among a small group of monsters.

Although there's a guy named "I love Qin Jing" who floods my feed every day, it's a bit scary.

The monsters' opinion of Qin Jing, this human, has greatly changed. However, some factions have started spreading rumors that a human has already taken control of the school's discourse, and some monsters even say that the human's next step may be to conquer the elementary school district.

Section 104, Chapter 38: Ghosts Flying in the Night

The moonlight is hazy, the mist is thick, and the sound of leaves rustling outside can be heard. Sometimes you think the moon is beautiful, but sometimes you feel that the moon has a mysterious and magical quality. Tonight is a full moon, and people can imagine rabbits and toads pounding medicine, palaces and fairies through the shadows in it.

The moon is beautiful and gives a sense of tranquility, but at the same time, it also has a dark side, a shadowy side unseen by humans. Werewolves howl at the moon, and vampires become excited, their eyes glowing red. Are they appreciating the moon's tranquility like humans? Or are they calling out to that dark, unknown side for something?

Qin Jing woke up in the middle of the night, yawning. Using the moonlight shining through the window, he went to the bathroom. Just as he was about to return to his room, he noticed a light coming from the stairs on the second floor.

Qin Jing tiptoed up and secretly peeked out. She discovered a woman in a black sailor uniform floating in the air, radiating light, as if sleepwalking around the room.

Qin Jing silently walked downstairs, returned to her room, and locked the door.

When the sun came out the next day, he went upstairs to check again, but found nothing.

"Xiao Jing, what are you looking for upstairs? Did you hide some book that can't be seen by demons here?" Whale sensed Qin Jing's unusual behavior, followed her up, peeked out, and asked.

“Whale, let me ask you, do ghosts exist in this world?” Qin Jing asked.

"How could that be? Once you die, you're gone. Even if a mermaid is abandoned by her beloved, her final fate is to turn into sea foam," the whale said matter-of-factly. Even monsters have lifespans; they age when they grow old, and their lives end when their time comes.

"Is that so? Then what happened when the lights here suddenly turned on last night? If it's just the lights, it could be a wiring problem, but that thing floating around, it can only be that, right?" Qin Jing said, puzzled.

"Hey? Xiaojing, did you see that? The legendary one where the lights on upstairs come on in the middle of the night?" Whale asked in surprise.

"Ah!... I see it! A ghost girl in a sailor uniform is floating around here," Qin Jing said.

"A woman! And she's wearing a sailor uniform? Where! She's the enemy! Is she trying to sneak up on Xiaojing while I'm not looking? You sly cat! Come out here!" Whale reacted violently and started rummaging through the clutter in the room, opening the wardrobe, drawers, and even crawling under the bed to look inside.

As Jing pushed open the wardrobe and pulled out the drawers to rummage through something, a long, cylindrical object fell through the gap and rolled to Qin Jing's feet.

"What is this?" Qin Jing walked over and picked up the object. Upon closer inspection, she found it to be a scroll covered in thick dust, indicating that it had been stuck in a crevice for quite some time.

Qin Jing brushed off the dust and discovered that it was a blue scroll with strange patterns. Although she didn't feel any danger, she could see that something seemed to be sealed inside, emanating a deep, dark, demonic aura, and a sense of loneliness, loss, and painful regret.

After searching the entire room without finding the enemy, Whale stood up. When she saw the scroll, she showed a look of disgust and said, "Disgusting feeling! Xiaojing, this thing of yours gives me a terrible feeling."

"Is that so?" Qin Jing took the scroll and asked Seba again.

Seba stared at the scroll for a long time, then said, "It does have a strange feeling, but this level is nothing to me. Compared to this... Xiaojing, I'm hungry."

"That's true. Dinner will be ready soon. We should eat and put the ghosts aside for now," Qin Jing said with a smile.

"A ghost?!" The girl's ahoge (cowlick) stood up.

"No, it's nothing, I'll finish cooking right away." Qin Jing put the scroll back in her room and went into the kitchen to make breakfast.

"Oh……"

There is a saying in China that goes something like this: eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a light dinner. But this will keep you energetic and healthy. Little Seba's eating habits are to eat both meat and vegetables, eat until he is 80% full at each meal, and feel hungry if he misses a meal!

So Qin Jing would put rice in the rice cooker in the morning and cook breakfast and lunch together. She would also cook the dishes for both meals together. The rice in the rice cooker was enough for two meals, and there was plenty of vegetables and meat. Xiao Seba's lunchbox was three times the size of Qin Jing's.

Because I've built a good relationship with Teacher Mimi, I was able to borrow the microwave in the kitchen at lunchtime to heat up my food. It tasted delicious and really whetted my appetite.

After arriving at school, Qin Jing asked the male teacher during her break.

"Does the teacher have anything like ghosts?"

"No, if you're talking about the monsters that appear after people die in movies, then there aren't any." The sheep-man teacher glanced at Qin Jing, making sure she wasn't joking, and then shook his head.

"What if I encounter something similar? Like something transparent floating in the air?" Qin Jing asked, unwilling to give up. Could what he saw last night have been just a hallucination caused by his intense desire?

“There are similar things, it’s not that they don’t exist,” the sheep man replied after a moment’s thought.

"There are similar things!" Qin Jing asked in surprise.

"Yes, the largest group in the academy are ancient creatures who transformed into fairies through magical powers. There are also some naturally powerful beings who represent certain symbols of gods, and spirits who are manifestations of natural phenomena."

Besides the common nature spirits and elemental spirits, there are also other rarer spirits, such as the dark spirits resembling ghosts from ghost stories.

"Dark elves?"

"Yes, elves with the abilities of levitation, etherealness, and penetration generally prefer to live in dark abysses, war-torn burial grounds, or graveyards. Therefore, they are often mistaken by humans who witness them for the spirits of dead creatures."

"Elves, that makes sense. Teacher, before I came to the academy, that human dormitory actually existed a long time ago, right?" Qin Jing asked.

“Yes, that’s an old house. Lord Su Jiu built it a long time ago when he was planning it,” the sheep-man nodded.

"So, there were humans in the academy once, and they lived there, right?" Qin Jing continued to ask.

"Yes, that was twelve years ago." The Sheep Man teacher didn't hide anything and recalled:
