47: Employee Benefits E-sports Room

Time slipped away quietly, and after three long hours had passed.

Shang Wan Ning covered her cheeks tightly with both hands, her body involuntarily rolling around on the bed in a neurotic manner.

"Hehehe... hehehe..." Strange and slightly excited laughter escaped her lips from time to time.

A string of baffling words drifted from her mouth: "Qi Qi, Qi Qi, Qi Qi..."

"Older Sister Type, roleplay, cat ears..."

Just like that, another full half hour passed~

Xiao Si simply couldn't contain her agitation any longer. She suddenly leaped out of the System Space, unceremoniously shooed Shang Wan Ning onto the living room sofa, and shouted, "Get to work for This Old Lady immediately! Stop being a lovesick fool here!"

The sudden turn of events scared the wits out of Shang Wan Ning. Her eyes widened, and she shouted in a panic, "Xiao Si... Xiao Si, did you just see that?"

Faced with Shang Wan Ning's questioning, Xiao Si was a bit flustered, fidgeting with her fingers incessantly.

She stammered in response, "You were muttering and mumbling on the bed for several hours; it would be hard for the system not to notice!"

Hearing this, Shang Wan Ning couldn't help but bite her lower lip, looking just like a startled fawn. She tiptoed away, rushing back to the bedroom, and slammed the door shut with a loud "bang."

Her whole body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and she collapsed heavily onto the bed with a "thud"!

Shang Wan Ning closed her ink-black eyes and muttered to herself, "Let me have some peace for a while, just half an hour will do!"

After a while, Shang Wan Ning slowly opened her eyes and began to brainwash herself: "It's actually quite normal to show such a lecherous expression when you're smitten! What's there to be embarrassed about!"

"Besides, this young lady is a gorgeous beauty, so how can I be considered a pervert?"

After some self-consolation, Shang Wan Ning's originally tense nerves relaxed, and a faint, cunning look reappeared on her face.

"After all, you need to be thick-skinned to get ahead!"

With a "clatter," the system, unable to stand Miss Shang's narcissism, collapsed to the ground as if electrocuted.

...

Netherworld, Ghost Gate Pass

"You Wu, take a team of ghost messengers along Yellow Springs Road to sow some seeds of the flower of the other shore."

As Shang Wan Ning said this, she handed the storage bag filled with seeds of the flower of the other shore to You Wu.

Her heart ached, and she cursed inwardly, "Damn system, it actually charged a full one hundred million in incense offerings for such a bag of lousy seeds! And it didn't even include a bag of fertilizer!"

"So black-hearted, the system is black-hearted!"

Seeing the ferocious, man-eating look in the boss's eyes, You Wu couldn't help but tremble all over. He tremblingly took the storage bag, then led the group of ghost messengers behind him and fled as if their lives depended on it.

Seeing this, Black Sha pushed Blood Slaughter beside him hard, and Blood Slaughter immediately understood his intention.

So he quickly asked, "Boss, is there anything you need our help with?"

Shang Wan Ning shook her head, picked up a cup of tea from the table, took a small sip, and set it down slowly.

Her gaze fell on Blood Slaughter and Black Sha, and she asked softly, "Have there been any anomalies at the entrance to the Netherworld recently?"

Blood Slaughter hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Boss, everything is currently normal; no anomalies have been discovered."

Hearing this reply, Shang Wan Ning nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction.

Then she asked again, "So, how do you all, a group of Ghost Kings, feel about living in Ghost Gate Pass every day? Are you used to it?"

Black Sha scratched his head and answered truthfully, "The space in Ghost Gate Pass is quite spacious, but we can't leave the perimeter of Ghost Gate Pass even one step. Staying here all day is really quite boring."

Shang Wan Ning raised her eyebrows, "This can't go on! Otherwise, having nothing to do every day will drive ghosts crazy with boredom." Just as she was feeling annoyed, Blood Slaughter suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence.

"Boss, could you consider building an esports room for us nearby?" Blood Slaughter asked tentatively.

Shang Wan Ning's eyes lit up instantly, "Esports room? Hmm... that's a good idea. But just having an esports room seems a bit monotonous."

"As for how to set it up specifically, you two go down and discuss it with You Yu first, and quickly come up with a reliable plan." Shang Wan Ning instructed decisively.

"Alright, Boss!" Blood Slaughter and Black Sha replied in unison, turned around, and ran off quickly.

Shang Wan Ning watched the backs of the two Ghost Kings as they left, and began to calculate in her heart.

"I wonder if two hundred million is enough? I hope it can be done smoothly to improve employee benefits..." Shang Wan Ning muttered while frantically grabbing at her hair, continuing to mumble, "Oh Heavens, please send me a super rich older sister! This Old Lady is almost crying from poverty!"

That appearance was just like a beckoning cat that had been provoked, making one want to hug her.

...

You Xiaoqian reached out and poked the Boss's slender, soft waist. "Wow! So soft!"

From this, one can imagine that Ling Qi must have lived a quite comfortable life before this and eaten very well.

Shang Wan Ning feigned calmness and asked with a serious face, "What are you doing?"

You Xiaoqian blinked her lively big eyes and looked at Shang Wan Ning with full anticipation.

"Boss, are you short on money?"

Then, she quickly pulled a Nether Bank card from her pocket, stuffed it into Shang Wan Ning's arms without hesitation, and proudly stated, "I've saved up my salary for the past few months. Although it's not much, it's a full two hundred and twenty thousand in incense offerings!"

Hearing these words, a warm current surged in Shang Wan Ning's heart.

"Xiaoqian, Boss knows your good intentions."

"The Underworld is lacking funds in the trillions." After saying this, Shang Wan Ning put the Nether Bank card back into You Xiaoqian's pocket.

Seeing this, You Xiaoqian's eyes widened immediately.

"Ah! You need that many incense offerings!"

"Boss, you really have it so hard! No wonder your temper has been a bit explosive lately."

You Xiaoqian even nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, Shang Wan Ning felt that the touch she had just felt vanished without a trace. She muttered inwardly, "You silly girl, as an employee, is it really appropriate to tell your boss to her face that she has an explosive temper?"

"Where are the workplace survival rules for workers!"

But on the surface, Shang Wan Ning still tried to maintain her elegance. After taking a deep breath, she slowly asked, "Has the foundation for the first stop of the Netherworld—the Earth God Temple—been laid?"

Boss Shang helplessly swallowed her frustration. ( ꐦ Ò ‸ Ó )

"It's already been laid; we're just waiting to build the Earth God Temple on top of it." You Xiaoqian answered truthfully.

"Alright, go find You Wu later and get some seeds of the flower of the other shore." Shang Wan Ning said while planning on the blueprint, "Then plant a few circles around the perimeter of the Earth God Temple."
