Realm of the Night God

Chapter 66: Here Comes the Job

After the collision with Xu Meijing this time, Yang Haoran knew he had lost, and lost thoroughly, being crazily slapped in the face by the other party.

To say there was no anger in his heart would be impossible, but what could he do with the anger? He could only endure it.

Leaving the hall, still not yet noon, Master Jiang invited Yang Haoran to have lunch, but Yang Haoran refused.

Even the boss had warned this newcomer, so there was still a sense of urgency in his heart. He didn't want to be fired so soon.

On the way home, Yang Haoran looked troubled. Obviously, his mood wasn't very good, but this state didn't last long. He soon walked out of it and returned to his usual self.

In life, there are many things that don't go as planned. If one were to dwell on every unpleasant thing for a long time, then life would be spent in constant turmoil. Yang Haoran naturally understood this principle, so he quickly adjusted his attitude.

After returning to the grocery store, he first called his parents back home to check on their recent condition. After chatting for over half an hour and learning that his parents were doing okay recently, he hung up the phone with relief.

After that, he unusually closed the grocery store and didn't go out to do anything. Instead, he went back to bed and took a long nap. Seeing him like this, it seemed like he wasn't even planning to have lunch.

Such a thing happening to Yang Haoran was indeed very unusual.

He had just been warned by the boss in the morning. At this time, according to reason, he should have quickly looked for undead to boost his performance. However, what he didn't expect was that he actually ran home to sleep.

Leaving aside the matter of finding undead for now, even before becoming a Night Watch, Yang Haoran would never do such a thing. Because in his opinion, it was a waste of time. If he could use this time well, he could do more things.

If only it were just "if." The fact was, not only did he close the store and go to sleep, he slept deeply. He slept until it was dark before waking up.

After it got dark, Yang Haoran still didn't open the store. After casually preparing some food, he worshipped the statue of Death God in advance, then grabbed his yellow messenger bag and hurried out.

This walk lasted the entire night. It wasn't until the next day dawned that he returned to the grocery store.

Inside the grocery store, Yang Haoran looked a bit tired, but when his eyes fell on the soul gathering bead in his hand, a hint of smile appeared on his tired face.

Inside the soul gathering bead, apart from Gao Liang and Wang Qing's souls, there were two more soul threads. These two soul threads were the harvest he had obtained from his efforts last night.

The reason he went to bed early yesterday was so that he could work hard through the night. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to waste time like this.

Since he didn't have a car, he could only rely on walking to trace the traces of undead. Because of this, he walked the entire night last night. Even though he was no longer an ordinary person now, being tossed around like this all night still exhausted him.

Fortunately, he had the ability to perceive yin. Although he didn't have a means of transportation, the existence of this ability still gave him some gains.

Both of these souls had just formed and had no attack power. After learning that Yang Haoran was an Underworld Envoy, one chose to leave voluntarily while the other chose to resist.

Although these two undead made different choices, the final result was the same. There were no unexpected incidents, and both of them ended up in the soul gathering bead.

Collecting two undead in one night, Yang Haoran was quite satisfied with this result. If he could ensure two every day, by the end of this month, his performance might not surpass Xu Meijing's, but at least he wouldn't be fired by Boss Deng Feng.

Yang Haoran originally thought that ghosts were everywhere in the world, but their numbers were definitely not small. However, what he didn't expect was that he guessed wrong. He didn't know about other cities, but in Lecheng, the number of ghosts was much fewer than he had imagined.

Actually, it wasn't that there were few ghosts in Lecheng, but rather, the Night Watch in Lecheng was too diligent, especially Xu Meijing. She was the most diligent among the sixteen Night Watch in Lecheng. It was precisely because of her presence that the number of undead in Lecheng was so pitifully low.

The first time Xu Meijing met Yang Haoran was outside the morgue of the hospital. At that time, Xu Meijing told Yang Haoran that she was guarding the morgue, but that wasn't the truth. Like Yang Haoran, she was also planning to deal with undead.

The second time they met was at the Nine Dragon Hill cemetery. That time, Yang Haoran gained nothing in the cemetery except for Wang Qing. At that time, he thought that perhaps all the undead in the cemetery had been taken away by temple priests like Master Jiang, but he didn't know that the one who took away all the undead in the cemetery was Xu Meijing.

Not only in these two places, but also in many hospitals and cemeteries in Lecheng, Xu Meijing's figure could often be seen. She almost covered all the places in Lecheng where undead were abundant, so the entire Lecheng had significantly fewer undead.

It was precisely for this reason that Yang Haoran searched all night last night and only harvested two undead, and they were discovered outside the city.

But no matter what, the hard work last night still paid off, which gave Yang Haoran some hope.

In the next period of time, Yang Haoran slept during the day and went out at night to search for undead, risking his life to improve his performance.

In order to expand his business scope, he also used his old connections and had Guanhai help him attract business.

Although Guanhai was young, he still had some connections in Lecheng. Otherwise, this playboy might have been in trouble long ago.

When Yang Haoran asked Guanhai for help, Guanhai naturally didn't refuse and readily agreed. In fact, even if Yang Haoran hadn't mentioned it, Guanhai would still help him attract business. After all, their relationship was there, and Guanhai had always been helping him with business.

The main reason why Yang Haoran called Guanhai was because his business had changed. He no longer dealt with things like showing houses; the only type of business he took now was related to real undead, or to put it bluntly, he only dealt with supernatural events involving ghosts.

The reason for making this decision was twofold. One was because he was no longer a charlatan, but an Underworld Envoy, so he didn't need to continue pretending to be mysterious.

Secondly, not only did he urgently need souls now, he would also need a large amount in the future. Therefore, he decided to only take supernatural events related to haunted houses. He didn't want to waste time on other things.

It's not that he didn't want to take on more business and make more money, but the key was that he didn't have the energy for it. Moreover, he didn't understand things like feng shui and house viewing at all. It was fine to pretend to be a fraud without being exposed, but if he were exposed, it would only ruin his reputation.

After some time, Guanhai didn't bring Yang Haoran any clients. Yang Haoran didn't think it was Guanhai's ability problem because he already knew what Xu Meijing had been doing in Lecheng. With this woman in Lecheng, not to mention Guanhai, even he, who had the ability to perceive yin, would find it extremely difficult to find an undead.

In fact, there were several famous haunted places in Lecheng. The haunted building Yang Haoran had entered was one of them. There were indeed many undead in such haunted places, but Yang Haoran didn't dare to set his sights on these places because these haunted places all had powerful ghosts. It was not something his current abilities could handle.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost the end of the month, and there were already thirty soul threads in Yang Haoran's soul gathering bead.

Thirty soul threads were not considered few compared to temple priest Night Watch, but temple priest Night Watch was only semi-professional when it came to subduing undead, while non-temple priest Night Watch like him was full-time. Therefore, there was simply no comparison between the two.

If there were to be a comparison, it could only be with Xu Meijing, who was also a non-temple priest Night Watch. However, Yang Haoran knew that he couldn't match Xu Meijing in this regard. Thirty soul threads seemed like a lot, but compared to Xu Meijing, there was still a gap.

Lecheng had a large population but was very poor. It was precisely because of this that many people in Lecheng headed towards the end of their lives for various reasons every day, which led to people like Yang Haoran having work to do.

But what made Yang Haoran speechless was that almost all of this work was taken care of by Xu Meijing alone. The thirty soul threads he harvested this month were almost all fish that escaped the net outside the city. If this continued, he estimated that he would soon be out of a job.

However, with the achievement of thirty soul threads, Yang Haoran believed that he shouldn't be fired by Boss. If he couldn't surpass Xu Meijing, then he couldn't. He temporarily couldn't change this fact, and not being fired was what he cared about most at the moment.

In the last few days, Yang Haoran decided to try harder again, hoping to make a breakthrough on the basis of thirty soul threads.

However, reality slapped him hard in the face. For three consecutive days, he searched outside all night for undead, but gained nothing. This inevitably made him feel disappointed.

On the fourth morning, Yang Haoran returned to the grocery store with a tired and disappointed face. As soon as he returned to the shop, his mobile phone rang.

Taking out the mobile phone to check, it was actually Guanhai.

Guanhai liked to drink, getting drunk every night, so usually, he didn't have mornings. He usually woke up around noon or in the afternoon.

For Guanhai to wake up in the early morning and call him meant that there must be something important!

Looking at the vibrating mobile phone in his hand, the corners of Yang Haoran's mouth couldn't help but curve upwards. He felt that Guanhai calling him so early was very likely related to business.

Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, Guanhai's voice, filled with yawns, came through, saying, "Yang Ge, there's work. Calling me so early in the morning, it's really..."

Guanhai complained on the other end. From his words, it seemed that he had just received news of a job as well.

Different from Guanhai, Yang Haoran felt delighted in his heart. He had gained nothing for three consecutive days, and now that he knew there was work, he naturally felt happy.

"Don't sleep anymore, hurry up and get up. Let's meet and discuss."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Haoran washed up and worshipped the Death God before closing the door and going to find Guanhai.
