Chapter 1154 What to do when you encounter such a neighbor 41
"Didn't they say there would be a turning point? I've already spent a fortune to have a dream come true, but there's still no turning point?" Lin Dongquan was so worried that he scratched his head, completely unaware that Azhen was watching his every word and action.
From the other party's few words, A-Zhou could roughly guess what was going on.
There must exist another, very sophisticated social system in this world.
She doesn't yet know whether everyone who dies ends up in that place.
Judging from Lin Dongquan's attitude, he probably knows something about what will happen next and wants to change things.
Logically speaking, since they are currently in another social system, which we can call a perfected underworld society, they should be able to reunite now that Yi Shulan is gone.
But Lin Dongquan still wants to change the outcome of things, which is obviously related to the rules of the underworld. It's possible that Yi Shulan's ending won't be good for her when she goes to the underworld.
Of course, it's also possible that Lin Dongquan didn't want to see her suffer, which is why he wanted to change things.
A-Zhuang withdrew her gaze, still holding her phone, but was beginning to explore the rules of this world.
Under normal circumstances, she would not easily touch the rules of the mission world unless she discovered any special power.
Now an unexpected situation has arisen, and she has no choice but to do this.
And the turning point Lin Dongquan mentioned, could it be her? If so, that's quite interesting.
"Huanhuan, what do you want to eat tonight?"
After an unknown amount of time, Yi Shulan's voice rang out.
"Just grab something to eat." Azhen had pretty much grasped the rules of this world. Just as she had guessed, there was indeed a well-established underworld in this world.
The ghosts in this world are different from the previous ones. After people die, they have spirits, but no matter how much they evolve, they can't affect the lives of the living, let alone take revenge on them.
There is no such thing as yin energy.
This is why she didn't sense any special power when she first came to this world.
It's less like the underworld and more like another dimension, yet it has some connection to this world. It's on a higher level than the living world, at least the people there can still see the fate of the living here.
As for the other more complex rules, you'll only know them once you've encountered them.
But that's outside her scope of business.
Discovering Lin Dongquan's involvement actually proved quite beneficial for her subsequent actions.
In addition, she figured out a profession that should be quite suitable for the client, but she didn't know if the client would be willing to accept it.
Lin Dongquan's spirit didn't stay in the room for long, eventually leaving while cursing. He was still complaining that dream visits were too expensive, that his current savings couldn't cover them, and that he should have had Yi Shulan burn more money for him during the last dream visit.
He continued to grumble, "We should have been more superstitious in the past. Now all my wife does is burn a little bit for me during festivals, it's just a formality. If we were more superstitious, maybe she would have burned more for me."
"With the old woman's sincerity towards me, the conversion rate of ghost money is exceptionally high. Other ghosts are extremely envious. I never felt that I didn't have enough money before, who knew that dream visits were so expensive."
Listening to Lin Dongquan's complaints, Azhen learned about some more rules.
It turns out that the conversion rate of ghost money is linked to the sincerity of the living. The setting of this world is indeed quite interesting.
She was a little curious: if there was a complete underworld, where would Chen Mei and Zhu Tianlang, who had died before, end up? She calculated that even if the two of them appeared in the underworld, it would definitely not affect Jiang Mingyue's life.
Even if Jiang Mingyue were to die and go to the underworld, neither of them would be a match for her. After all, Jiang Mingyue is a blessed person.
Not long after dinner, Yi Shulan went back to her room to go to sleep. She had been going to bed quite early lately.
As was her usual habit, she would always watch TV for a while.
Ah-Zhen remembered that she had mentioned Lin Dongquan appearing in her dream before, and had some guesses in her mind, so she asked, "Mom, are you going to bed so early because you think Dad will visit you in your dreams?"
Yi Shulan didn't expect Azhen to suddenly bring this up, but she didn't deny it: "It's rare to dream about him like this. I don't know if it's because I didn't listen to him last time, or because he signed the agreement to install the elevator. He's a little angry with me. Since then, he hasn't appeared in my dreams again."
Speaking of this, Yi Shulan still felt a little regretful and disappointed.
The two already had a deep relationship, and now that they are older, reminiscing about the past makes them even more nostalgic.
Ah Zhen thought to herself, "It's not that I'm angry, it's just that dreaming is too expensive."
It's kind of funny when you think about it.
Yi Shulan went back to her room, and Azhen didn't stay in the living room for long either, following her back to her room.
[Tell the client that I've found her a job—stable, flexible, and lucrative. If nothing unexpected happens, she could do it for life, if she dares.] A-Zhen told 997.
[Host, what kind of job is it?] 997 asked curiously.
"I won't reveal it for now; it's related to something I'm going to do in a few days. Let her handle it then," A-Zhen said. "Let's see if she can do this kind of work first."
If the client is really willing to do this job, then the subsequent incident can be used to attract some business.
She said there must be a suitable job for the client, and she believed the client would most likely take the job.
If Azhen didn't explain things clearly, not only would the client be curious, but even 997 was incredibly curious, scratching his head all night. Finally, out of sheer boredom, he went to bother the other mission takers. Of course, in front of the other mission takers, he was a cool and aloof system.
The next day, Azhen got up at a moderate pace, ate breakfast, and went to work. She was currently an employee at a small company. The company was growing steadily, and she felt the future looked promising, but she felt her own abilities were limited, and she was just going through the motions, taking it one day at a time.
Before the incident, she never thought that her job was incapable of withstanding risks; she just felt that it was good enough to have a job and get social security.
She knew what was going to happen today, but she wasn't in a hurry. It wasn't something that Yi Shulan would fall ill from anger overnight.
She will soon retaliate and make those people uncomfortable.
“Son, you said you missed your mother, why don’t you burn more paper money for the dead? You renovated the old house so beautifully, but it’s still empty. Now that I’m dead, I don’t need it. All the things you bought are just sitting there, and I don’t need them either. Isn’t that a waste? You might as well exchange them for paper money and burn some for me properly.”
“When you come to visit your mother’s grave, you only bring some food and drink. Why didn’t you think of burning something for her? If you don’t burn paper money for the dead, you can burn a house or a car or something. At least your mother can sell them for money.”
When A-Zhen entered the company's CEO's office, she heard an old woman in tattered clothes sitting in the corner muttering to herself.
She recognized the old woman; she was the mother of the company's owner, who had passed away a few years ago.
The company owner started from scratch and was raised by his mother, who is a very filial person. He was indeed good to this old lady when she was alive.
