Chapter 110 The Singer, Oh, Singer 43

[A Worn, Rusty Copper Coin]: Keep it in your wallet; it might have a miraculous effect on certain ghosts at certain times. You're asking when and on whom? Sorry, go explore for yourself.

The item, an item from a lawyer's five-star instance, had absolutely nothing to do with Lord Wangxiang Platform.

But the scammer herself—Lin Xiangjun—was extremely confident and bold.

"This thing? If I say it's from the Shang or Zhou dynasties, then it's from the Shang or Zhou! Look at this pattern, look at these cracks, look at this design! This is definitely an antique! What? You're saying there's a 'Microwave Safe' label on the bottom? Don't look at that, it's not important. Look at the shape of this bottle! It's definitely an antique, no doubt about it!"

"Ignorant! This is something given by Lord Wangxiang Platform! You two have no eye for quality. Look closely, feel the aura of a four-star instance on it?"

"Can you feel it? No? If you can't feel it, that's exactly right! The Instance Master of that four-star instance was digested completely by Lord Wangxiang Platform long ago. How could you possibly sense it?"

She tucked the copper coin back into her pocket like a precious treasure.

"This copper coin is what remained of the Instance Master after Lord Wangxiang Platform annexed that four-star instance. Even if you can't sense Lord Wangxiang Platform's aura, you should at least be able to tell this item isn't low-level, right?"

That was indeed something they could sense.

After all, this thing was an a-grade prop.

Whether human or ghost, all could perceive the grade of a prop.

Although the One-Eyed Ghost didn't feel anything special about the item at all, nor any aura of a four-star Instance Master, seeing Lin Xiangjun so certain made it feel a bit unsure.

Was it really just its own ignorance preventing it from sensing it?

The One-Eyed Ghost began to doubt itself.

Lin Xiangjun saw this flicker of doubt.

It was good that it was doubting itself; once a person starts to doubt themselves, even the right things can turn into wrongs.

It was like when you've memorized a text perfectly, but as soon as the teacher asks, "Are you sure?", the memorization might as well have never happened.

This logic applied to both humans and ghosts.

"Enough. Have you ever even seen Lord Wangxiang Platform? Do you know what the Lord's things look like? The Lord has countless items; could you possibly recognize every single one and know its origin?"

"I've shown you the item now. If there are no more questions, hurry up and take me inside to see the houses. If you don't have anything suitable here, I'm in a hurry to get to the next place. I don't have time to waste with you."

Although the One-Eyed Ghoul was still somewhat uncertain, seeing Lin Xiangjun's unwavering conviction, it hesitated for a moment before finally leading her inside.

Even though this ghost smelled like it was of a very low level, and the token she produced couldn't be confirmed as Lord Wangxiang Platform's property, it was just as she said—the item's grade was not low. If it hadn't been bestowed by the Lord, it was unlikely she could have obtained it with her strength...

If she really was a subordinate of Lord Wangxiang Platform...

It shouldn't risk its life over a bit of underworld currency.

underworld currency can be earned again as long as one is alive, but once a life is gone, it's gone for good.

It would just treat her as Lord Wangxiang Platform's subordinate then. Anyway, this low-level ghost was generous; serving her for a day wouldn't be a loss.

"The occupancy rate of our Senhe Mansion isn't very high. After all, the environment and location here are excellent, and these are new houses, so the prices are higher than most neighborhoods. Most residents here are ghosts, though there are a few humans."

"Our neighborhood has a total of seven floor plans..."

The One-Eyed Ghost explained as it led Lin Xiangjun to view the units.

Although Lin Xiangjun used the excuse of renting a house, she wasn't actually there to rent. She was there to find Xia Suhe and gather information.

"How many human residents are there in total in this neighborhood? And how many ghost residents? Is there a list I can see?"

Logically, a resident list was considered internal work information and couldn't be shown to outsiders at will.

But...

Seeing Lin Xiangjun's impatient look, the One-Eyed Ghoul only hesitated for a split second before leading her to the Property Management office.

The Instance Master of a five-star instance wanted to see something; it wasn't the instance core anyway, so what if she saw it.

This lady was so generous; if she was pleased with the service, she might even drop some more underworld currency.

The Property Management office looked quite clean and tidy, but the ceilings were much higher than in other houses—nearly five meters tall, which was about two stories high. The items were also much larger; the computer monitor was as big as the LCD TV in Lin Xiangjun's home.

It was likely designed to accommodate the size of the ghosts.

After all, the One-Eyed Ghost was three meters tall and two meters wide at its thickest point. If the office were a standard size, it wouldn't even be able to squeeze inside.

The One-Eyed Ghoul took two ledgers from a nearby cabinet and handed them to Lin Xiangjun.

These two ledgers were also shockingly large. They looked normal-sized in its hands, but when they reached Lin Xiangjun, she realized they were the size of a four-page broadsheet.

Broadsheet size.

Since leaving school and no longer having to draw hand-copied newspapers, how long had it been since she'd seen paper this big?

"The red one records the ghost residents, and the black one records the human residents."

Lin Xiangjun flipped through the two ledgers.

It was indeed as the ghost said; the ratio of ghost residents to human residents was roughly four to one.

Seeing Lin Xiangjun inspecting the ledgers, the One-Eyed Ghoul hesitated before asking cautiously, "Is there a specific reason you are checking these?"

Lin Xiangjun was busy looking for Xia Suhe's name and didn't even look up when she heard this. "This is to verify the management capabilities of your neighborhood."

"With so many human and ghost residents living together, if management is improper, it's easy for chaos to ensue. Based on the living experience of these human residents, I can better judge the grade of your neighborhood..."

Lin Xiangjun randomly pointed at several names on the black list. "This one, this one, this one, and this one. Bring these four people over. I want to consult them for their evaluations of your neighborhood."

She had pointed to Xia Suhe and then randomly picked three others to make up the numbers.

When she handed the ledgers back to the One-Eyed Ghoul, she put on the air of a superior and gave earnest guidance.

"For the canaries of Lord Wangxiang Platform, what they value most isn't anything else, but the order of their residence and the management capability of the property. Everything being in perfect order is what they want. If you want to attract such high-end tenants, you must improve your management in this regard, understood?"

The One-Eyed Ghoul took the ledgers with an air of having 'learned a lesson' and nodded to show it understood.

Lin Xiangjun felt very gratified.

"Keep up the good work. I think you are naturally gifted and will definitely have a bright future. Go on."

The One-Eyed Ghoul walked out with the ledgers, its gaze full of determination.

Lin Xiangjun watched its departing back, feeling that her learning ability was truly top-tier.

You're asking who she learned from?

If you haven't seen high-level leaders, haven't you seen school leaders? Just say whatever the school leaders usually say when they give speeches on stage.

It works every time.

See? Didn't she just successfully fool one?
