The Yellow Springs Road fell silent for a moment.
Then, Meng Shen burst into laughter, "I've been waiting for you to say that!"
It would be a shame for such a promising talent to leave!
It wasn't in vain that he had just explained so much about the Southern Hall's operational model in front of Zhuang Yao.
"Come with me!"
Some wandering souls nearby noticed them and cast expectant glances.
Meng Shen glanced over, "If you can last half an hour with me, you can come too."
For wandering souls without goals or abilities, staying in the underworld and living day after day might not be a good thing.
The wandering soul dejectedly withdrew its gaze, its legs already weak just standing next to the ghost official.
Let alone fighting.
The wandering soul secretly glanced at Zhuang Yao, wondering what his status was to be able to fight the ghost official for half an hour…
Looking again, Zhuang Yao's body was also more solid than his own…
As expected, there are differences between wandering souls, even after death.
It was one thing to be different when alive, but why were they so different even after death…
…
"So, Brother Zhuang will stay and continue to guard this land?!"
"Aow aow aow! So excited for no reason!"
"Go for it!"
"Respect!"
The viewers in the live stream also couldn't help but feel happy for Zhuang Yao.
But looking at the reaction of the wandering soul next to him, they found it amusing.
"Suddenly, I feel like my mom telling me to study hard wasn't without reason."
"Excellent people are sought after everywhere, no matter where they are (ง•_•)ง."
"Learned something, learned something, I'm going to improve myself now!"
"They say life brings nothing and death takes nothing away, but excellence is carried forward! What you learn not only works in the human world but also in the underworld!"
Thinking of this, some viewers suddenly became excited.
Their thoughts also became bolder.
"If I study physics and chemistry well, can I provide electricity to the underworld?"
"I'm from a game company. Once there's electricity, I'll create a game."
"I'll arrange for a computer?"
"Holy cow, don't even think about it, you're making me excited too!"
Many viewers began ordering various books and courses online.
Even some lazy ones couldn't help but turn over.
To build up the underworld…
Just thinking about it felt amazing!
But upon closer thought, the underworld must have had experts in various fields, so why hadn't it developed?
Was it the different magnetic fields between the human world and the underworld?
Or were there some limitations?
However, one thing they could be sure of was…
After becoming a top talent, it was possible to be useful even after death!
That was enough!
That night, a trending topic reappeared.
#What is something you cannot bring with you when you die, but can take away?#
The comments below numbered over ten thousand.
【As long as you are excellent enough, we'll take your soul too!】
【Want to build the underworld? Come on, study!】
【I can't change the world, but I want to try to change the underworld (dog head)】
【Holy cow, studying physics and chemistry can also connect to the underworld?!】
…
A long time later.
Some parents used this as motivational advice for their children.
"Do you think you're studying for the present? Do you think you're studying for me?"
"No, you are studying for yourself!"
"When you die, you can't take anything with you, but what's in your brain can be taken away!"
"If you want to have a good afterlife, you need to be strong yourself!"
The child nodded blankly and asked innocently:
"Then if I put a lot of manga in my brain, can I keep reading it when I go down?"
Parent: "..."
Were they talking about the same thing?
The child, however, became excited, "Then if I watch more Ultraman, can I find a way to summon them to fight when I go down?"
"..." Parents.
You never know what's going on in a child's mind…
…
Underworld.
Because Meng Shen was about to arrange things for Zhuang Yao, he parted ways with Jiang Lin and the others.
However, before parting, Meng Shen gave Jiang Lin and Liu Buwei each a map of the underworld and a diagram of the distribution of underworld passages.
He then called over the pair of sturdy twin boys, "These two little guys caused trouble yesterday, you can command them however you like for now."
Meng Shen said, "If you need to go anywhere or buy anything, you can ask them."
The twin brothers stood there indignantly but did not object.
They still had to figure out how to repay the money for the houses from yesterday.
After Meng Shen left, one of the twins followed Liu Buwei to the mission center, while the other stayed with Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin, however, did not go far, choosing to wander around the Yellow Springs Road.
One reason was to witness what Meng Shen had mentioned earlier.
Another was his side quest for this trip to the Southern Hall: to popularize the unique characteristics of the Southern Hall's underworld.
As he strolled towards the Bridge of Forgetfulness, Jiang Lin finally understood why Meng Shen had warned Zhuang Yao to be careful of Meng Po's hands.
In front of the Bridge of Forgetfulness, by a large stone pot, Meng Po stirred the soup with one hand while adding ingredients with the other.
Several other hands emerged from her sides, each holding a bowl of soup and offering it to the queuing wandering souls.
It appeared very orderly.
That's right, the Meng Po of the Southern Hall had many hands.
However, Jiang Lin could sense that those hands were not illusions conjured by ghost energy, but rather grew from Meng Po's own body.
This surprised Jiang Lin.
The style of the Southern Hall was indeed quite different from the Eastern Hall.
"Our Meng Po here can be anyone as long as you are strong enough."
The sturdy child next to him said, "The competition for this position is fierce. If it weren't for the fact that only women can do it, I think even Uncle Meng would want to try."
Why?
Think about it, Meng Shen went to snatch missions and guide Zhuang Yao, wasn't it just to have a fight with Zhuang Yao?
And the position of Meng Po allowed one to guard here directly, waiting for powerful wandering souls to appear, and then fight them one by one.
Just for this reason, it could make many ghost officials eager.
The Southern Hall was a place where strength determined your position!
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the daily quest: Popularizing Underworld Culture – Guiding Wandering Souls."
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the daily quest: Popularizing Underworld Culture – Mission Center Competition Mode."
Jiang Lin: "…?"
Jiang Lin had already done the guiding of wandering souls as part of underworld culture when he was in the Eastern Hall.
Now this was…
Could he still farm it?
Was it because of the cultural differences between the Southern Hall and the Eastern Hall that some quests he had completed in the Eastern Hall could be done again in the Southern Hall?
Jiang Lin was shocked, this…
Wasn't this free points?
Then, if he went to the Western Hall and Northern Hall later, could he farm them again?
Coupled with the side quests previously issued by the system…
Wouldn't that mean he could farm system quests one more time?
At this moment, Jiang Lin suddenly understood the joy of humans 'grinding monsters' in games.
