"Host, can I really choose myself?"
As soon as the scholar's message was sent, it was immediately marked in gold by the live stream.
Very conspicuous.
Jiang Lin nodded, "Yes, what do you want?"
The scholar's gaze swept across the table, finally landing on the fourth pile.
That is, the items brought back by the North Hall.
His breathing couldn't help but quicken.
He had been coveting this thing for a long time.
After a while, he made a decision and started typing.
"Host, I'll trade two for one, can you customize a paper effigy?"
Customize a paper effigy?
Jiang Lin was curious, but didn't refuse, "What do you want to customize?"
...
As soon as this dialogue came out, the crowd of onlookers in the live stream was shocked.
"There can be this operation?!"
"As expected of the scholar, thinking what mortals dare not think."
"Is this the scholar's brain circuit? Boss, what do you want to customize?"
...
The scholar chuckled in front of the screen, a little shy, but his hands didn't slow down at all.
"Host, can you customize a paper effigy that looks like me, can shout 'Here', and can clock in?"
Having to sign in every day is too troublesome.
The rules and regulations set by humans are good, but he just felt tired.
"..."
Jiang Lin in front of the camera remained silent, slightly confused.
Looks the same, can shout here, can clock in... what's the use?
Can it defend against ghosts?
A substitute doll?
Or did he read some strange novels?
However, his gaze swept over.
Upon seeing the shocked, bewildered, or envious bullet comments from other viewers,
He sighed inwardly.
Logically speaking, he should give the viewers who helped him complete the mission with all their might the rewards they desired.
But...
Jiang Lin shook his head, "No."
The rewards he gave could only be used to protect himself and deal with ghosts.
Not to deal with humans.
"It can call 'Here' and clock in, but the face cannot be made to look like a human."
It can only be like a mask, with a smiling face, or a ghost face.
Jiang Lin said lightly, "But I don't recommend doing this, it's a waste of this opportunity."
In front of the screen,
The scholar scratched his face awkwardly. He just said it to see if it was possible.
After all, who wouldn't want to have a 'robot' that looks like them, can be sent to attend classes, and clock in at work?
"Then Host, I'll just customize a paper effigy that can actively defend against ghosts and remind me, and make it look cooler."
"The kind that looks like it can fight."
Jiang Lin pondered the viewer's request, keywords: cool, looks like it can fight.
He took out a paper effigy and modified it on the spot.
A moment later,
A paper effigy that looked like it could fight and had a cool pose appeared.
"Done."
Jiang Lin held the paper effigy up to the camera, "How is it?"
The bullet comment section fell silent for a moment.
Scholar: "..."
Onlooking viewers: "..."
In the live stream,
A "stick figure" made of paper frowned and stood quietly.
It also wore a cape on its back.
Scholar: "…Cool!"
It's just a little different from what he imagined.
...
"Hahahaha, it's indeed cool and stylish, and it looks like it can fight!"
"The host understands us better and better (smirking.jpg.)"
"Stick figure version of paper effigies, it's going to be popular again."
A group of viewers were amused. No matter how they thought about it, they never expected the host to make a stick figure.
Originally, they thought it might be a paper effigy wearing a ghost messenger's uniform.
Or holding a mace, looking fierce.
Or, with a gaping maw, using its own arms as weapons when fierce.
Never expected... it would be such a mundane style.
"Has the host secretly studied human entertainment trivia recently?"
"Stop trading, there's an inside agent among us!"
"The host is getting better and better at reading bullet comments, hehe..."
...
Jiang Lin sent the 'stick figure' to that viewer.
At this time, the live stream showed.
The other eight viewers had also arrived.
Seeing that Jiang Lin's conversation was over, they spoke one by one.
"Host, our family's luck doesn't seem to be very good, please pick two items for me."
"Ghost Messenger, I want two portable self-defense items."
"Host, I want two small paper effigies, one for patrolling and one for attacking."
With the scholar viewer in front, they no longer made any strange requests.
However, they had thought about it before coming.
Even people from higher up had called them.
Not to mention the other three halls, just the North Hall.
That paper effigy, the more they looked at it, the more they associated it with various computer codes in the human world.
If assembled, wouldn't it be the intelligent robots they had been researching?
If modified, could it even make battle armor?
After all, that kind of paper was very special.
Even paper figures could move independently, and covering them on a person's body should not be a problem.
But,
With the precedent of the scholar viewer, they changed their minds.
Adopted the second plan.
Collect paper effigies or items that can patrol and defend.
Although there are patrol teams in the underworld, the world is so vast, and there are always omissions.
They should also take proactive measures to defend themselves.
They can't always be passively beaten.
Just like in the human world,
Although there are various public security systems, the masses themselves should also have preventive awareness.
Locking doors and windows daily, children not playing by the water, and trying not to walk alone late at night...
...
After they finished stating their requests,
Jiang Lin selected items from the four halls one by one.
Some were given items like guns and slingshots from the West Hall.
Some were given paper effigies from the North Hall.
Others were given small items with the character '封' from the East Hall, and a glove from the South Hall that could physically hit ghosts.
Various items, dazzling.
Hearing his explanation of their functions, the onlookers in the live stream became restless.
"Why are my eyes always filled with tears..."
"Wake up, that's drool from envy and jealousy."
...
Soon, all nine viewers had spoken.
Among them, seven viewers had received their rewards.
As for the remaining two, they made other requests.
One wanted to trade two ghostly items for a chance to speak with their ancestors.
Jiang Lin agreed, but also stated the condition.
"I can help you keep an eye out, but I cannot guarantee that they are still in the underworld."
"Thank you, Ghost Messenger! Thank you!"
The other suspected that someone in their family had encountered a ghost.
They weren't sure if ordinary ghost-exorcising items would work.
So they wanted to ask the host to help them take a look.
Jiang Lin pondered for a moment, "Yes, I'll find someone to check the situation first."
Coincidentally, Seven-Colored Egg hadn't taken on any work since returning.
In the future, school and other things would also require money.
He could let it take a paper effigy to take a look first.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Host."
It doesn't matter who comes, as long as the problem can be solved.
