Chapter 601: Chapter 599: The Arrangements of the Ghost Village

”Someone, go call Wang Li Zheng for me.”

Gu Xi pondered for a moment, then turned to issue the order, while also starting to wander around Su Family Village.

At this moment, Gu Xi also understood why Su Family Village, this ghost village, was uncontrollable.

This ghost village had no core buildings like an Assembly Hall, or perhaps the core of this ghost village was the fallen community tree.

Without an Assembly Hall, and the community tree mutated and fallen, how could anyone occupy this place?

However, after wandering around, Gu Xi understood the function of the buildings in Su Family Village.

The theater could solidify ghosts that were about to dissipate, serving much like the function of a Ghost Tower.

However, the theater targeted all ghosts, whereas the Ghost Tower only targeted Ghosts.

The inn was a place for ghosts to rest; as long as they stayed in the inn, the number of souls consumed daily would decrease, preventing them from disappearing due to exposure to the elements.

As for some of the other shops, they were used to prepare ghosts for their final journey down the Yellow Springs Road.

In these shops, ghosts could sell unnecessary items from their bodies, such as skin, flesh, and bones.

They could also buy items needed after entering the Yellow Springs Road, like food and water, or herbs that could deal with the demons and monsters on Yellow Springs Road.

One might say that ghosts would undertake a transfer here.

Afterwards, they would enter the Yellow Springs Road, never to return.

For Gu Xi, this was not a good thing.

As an Undead Mage, he wanted a continuous source of souls.

The current Su Family Village was essentially providing a way out for the souls of the nearby deceased.

For Gu Xi, this was not beneficial.

Just then, Gu Xi’s Stone Golem underling brought Wang Li Zheng over here.

Once released, Wang Li Zheng ran before Gu Xi.

”Sir, you asked for me?”

”Yes, have a look; do you recognize this ghost village?”

Upon hearing Gu Xi’s question, Wang Li Zheng was somewhat at a loss for words.

”Sir, how would I be familiar with a ghost village? I never came here when I was alive.”

”Then take a tour of the village and think about what you could do if you took over here.”

Gu Xi was well aware of Wang Li Zheng’s capabilities, but he still wanted to see what Wang Li Zheng could bring to him.

After making a round, Wang Li Zheng finally ran back to Gu Xi, ”Sir, how do you plan to collect taxes, a major collection, or a minor collection?”

”How do you describe a major collection? And a minor collection?”

”For a major collection, all the ghosts passing through here would give me a layer of their skin. For a minor collection, at most we can only receive a bit of goods, gaining some profit margin.

However, with a minor collection, the ghosts would be more compliant, and the flesh, skin, and bones they sell would be the finest materials. Moreover, the fields could also be cultivated by the ghosts.

Though the income would be less, it would be sustainable.”

Listening to Wang Li Zheng’s words, Gu Xi felt a bit surprised.

”Why would you let me choose a minor collection? I thought, with your personality, you’d make me choose a major collection.”

”We’re all dead, having sold skin, flesh, and bones to me, what else can I do?”

Hearing these words, Gu Xi burst into laughter, ”Alright, from now on, you’ll assist me in managing this Su Family Village.”

Gu Xi casually handed over the land title of Su Family Village to Wang Li Zheng.

”My only requirement is this: keep an eye on this village. Whether they are entering Yellow Springs from here or entering this mountainous region from outside, you need to find out what they’re here for.”

Listening to Gu Xi’s words, Wang Li Zheng also understood why Gu Xi called him over.

When he was a Li Zheng, he was used to such tasks.

Putting himself in any other position, he feared he wouldn’t do as well.

Instead, keeping watch here seemed relatively simple for Wang Li Zheng, and most importantly, Wang Li Zheng believed he could handle it well.

Thus, he wouldn’t have to worry about Gu Xi dismissing him, and he would no longer be a wandering spirit.

Gu Xi couldn’t quite understand Wang Li Zheng’s reaction.

But from his expression, Gu Xi was sure Wang Li Zheng would handle everything well.

After entrusting Su Family Village to Wang Li Zheng, Gu Xi wasn’t so anxious anymore.

He left the Soul Summoning Tower in Su Family Village for a while to suppress it, and returned to Yalidu City himself.

After a battle, Gu Xi needed to rest, and having almost been finished off, Gu Xi needed a place to sleep and replenish his mana and stamina.

Seeing Gu Xi walking towards the Steel City Gate without looking back, Li Liangquan, who had been by Gu Xi’s side, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He understood that this incident was over.

However, he looked back at Gu Xi momentarily, still contemplating internally, wondering where this person came from. His strength doesn’t seem significant, but his presence was overpowering.

He feared this person might have been specially released to participate in the soon-to-start selection for King Yan.

Thinking of this gave Li Liangquan a shiver, daring not to think further, he hurried into the Yellow Springs Passage, returning to Yellow Springs Road.

Thus, Su Family Village regained its original tranquility.

But without the community tree, Su Family Village no longer had the clean and brand-new atmosphere; instead, it was now imbued with an aura of decay.

Gu Xi wasn’t aware of this; after entering Yalidu City, he went to the Tavern immediately.

At this moment, the Tavern had been upgraded to level 2, and its appearance had changed noticeably.

From the outside, the Tavern had turned into a two-story building, with a significantly enlarged interior hall.

Many of the Undead busily moved back and forth inside the Tavern.

However, Gu Xi noted that there were more servers than patrons, with an undead at every table polishing it.

The White Bone Wine Lady, looking quite bored, leaned by the window, somewhat displeased as she gazed outside.

In the Tavern, the only customer, the Corpse Charm Demon, was chatting with the Blood Courtesan.

Seeing Gu Xi enter, the Corpse Charm Demon immediately stood up.

”Sir, you’re here. What do you plan on eating today?”

”Corpse Charm Demon, enough, this isn’t your place, always waiting on men here. Are you ever finished?”

The White Bone Wine Lady sulked as she walked over, shooting the Corpse Charm Demon a glance, ”This is our customer, not part of the Tavern, so step aside.”

Gu Xi was accustomed to these situations; he found a table, sat down, and placed the Blood-Painted Skin on it.

”Barmaid, bring your finest wine. Without good wine, I fear you won’t be able to take this thing away.”
