Chapter 110 The goal is to become a master of ghosts.
Chen Feng strolled around the gravesite and discovered that the ghost money in Cihang City was all printed in the same way, with each note having a face value of one million.
"Damn, would it kill you to add a few more zeros?"
Two hundred billion divided by one million equals two hundred thousand sheets of ghost money. With so much ghost money, how long would it take to steal it all just by stealing offerings?
This is incredibly inefficient.
Chen Feng decided to pull off a big heist: "Let's go, Brother Dao, let's find a joss paper shop that sells funeral supplies, expand it, and create a new era of glory."
Tiandi Bank is also a bank.
Brother Dao waved his hand: "No, buddy, remember this: only money burned by the living to express their grief is called ghost money. The money that's just printed in the shops is dead money, it's useless to us."
It turned out to be the case.
Chen Feng thought about it and realized it made sense. If simply printing a piece of paper could increase one's strength, then the Ghost King, who had ruled Cihang City for so many years, would have become a god by printing papers every day.
If one plan fails, another will be devised.
Chen Feng suggested that Cihang City was located in a desolate area on the outskirts of the city, and it was uncertain when anyone would come to pay their respects. He suggested finding a public cemetery instead, where they could easily make several hundred million in a day.
Brother Dao gave a thumbs up: "Yeah, bro, your idea is excellent. You have to be strong yourself to become a Ghost King. The first thing we need to do is improve our own strength."
"If a ghost wants to become stronger, there are only three paths it can take. The first is to harm people, but this goes against the natural order, so we won't do it."
"The second risk is that ghosts devour each other, which is too high."
"Then the third way is to collect tribute money. As long as we occupy a cemetery, we can eat and drink well every day, and collect money while lying down. Isn't that comfortable?"
"But now there's bad news."
Dao Ge told Chen Feng that all the cemeteries and graves in Cihang City, big and small, had long been occupied by ghosts and monsters from various factions.
"To survive in this world, you need power and connections."
"The two of us definitely can't take over the cemetery on our own, so we need to recruit more people."
At this point, Brother Dao pointed to the highway.
Do you know why I came to the suburbs?
"have no idea."
"Come on, let me tell you. A while ago, there was a car accident here. A group of young people were speeding at night when a Dayun truck came from the opposite direction."
"And then those will-o'-the-wisps went to another world?"
"Dude, are you kidding me? Those young men with will-o'-the-wisps couldn't dodge in time and crashed into each other, causing a fire. There were over a hundred casualties at the scene."
"Holy crap, hundreds of people?"
"Yes, such a big accident must have caused a lot of resentment, so those young men who died on motorcycles have become ghosts and are wandering the mountain roads. Because they died while riding motorcycles, they still have motorcycles after they die."
"So those are cavalry?"
Chen Feng glanced at the watermelon knife on Dao Ge's head and thought that if that were the case, Dao Ge must have been hacked to death.
Brother Dao slapped his thigh: "That's right, speed is of the essence in war. I don't even look at ordinary wandering ghosts. Only cavalry like this are worthy of our next Ghost King."
As the two ghosts chatted, it gradually grew late.
At that moment, the roar of a buzzing engine began.
Accompanied by screams, a cluster of colorful lights approached from a distance.
Chen Feng scanned the crowd with his divine sense: "So many people, and not a single one of them is wearing a helmet. No wonder something happened."
"They're here, they're making a racket, they're really something." Brother Dao looked at the motorcycle throngs of motorcyclists, sparks flying everywhere, and said somewhat uneasily, "They seem a bit unfriendly, they've been wearing dark expressions the whole time."
That's burnt to a crisp.
Chen Feng rolled up his sleeves: "I'll take care of them."
Although after becoming a demon, all physical skills are no longer usable, whether it's a building-destroying physical body or Sianwistan's prosthetic body.
But Chen Feng also possesses the Wind Howl Technique and the Magic Great Bow.
Besides, even without magic, a wandering immortal like him wouldn't lose to a lonely ghost.
Brother Dao stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute. In warfare, attacking cities is the least effective strategy; attacking hearts and minds is the best. If you want people to submit to you, you can't rely on fists alone; you need to rely on military strategy."
"Just you wait and see."
As he spoke, Brother Dao stretched out his arms and stood in front of the ghosts.
The leader of the motorcycle gang, a man with sunglasses and a pompadour, stopped his motorcycle with one hand on the handlebars and laughed, "Uncle, if you dare to block the road, are you asking for trouble—like an old man hanging himself?"
Dao Ge began by introducing himself: "I am the one destined to become the next Ghost King."
The man with the pompadour scoffed, "The next Ghost King? A little cow doing a split in the wind—what a load of bull!"
Brother Dao waved his hand: "If I were lying to you, I wouldn't be human."
You weren't even human to begin with.
Chen Feng was complaining when he suddenly heard a system notification:
The ultimate ghost-catching system has been repaired.
【Brother Dao】
[Level of Resentment: ★]
[Ability: None]
[Equipment: Watermelon knife, a ghost weapon capable of damaging energy bodies, consciousness bodies, and spirit bodies]
They're on the same level as fake people.
Moreover, they don't have any special abilities.
Chen Feng thought to himself that this Brother Dao was too useless. If it weren't for one piece of equipment, he would be nothing more than a grunt.
At this moment, Brother Dao felt a disdainful look coming from behind him, but he didn't care. Instead, he continued to explain his purpose: "Young brother, I see you young heroes are full of vigor. Why don't you join me?"
The phrase "fiery temper" is highly problematic.
The man with the pompadour immediately flew into a rage and slapped her across the face: "You want us to be your lackeys? Like a bat with chicken feathers stuck in its body—who do you think you are?"
Dao Ge covered his face and said, "Hey, you little brat, you dare hit me? Go ask around, in the whole Cihang City, who doesn't know the name of Dao Ge?"
"A dung beetle yawning—what a boastful tone." The man with the pompadour waved his hand. "Brothers, beat this old geezer up."
At his command, a group of ghosts swarmed forward and beat Brother Dao senseless.
Looking at Dao Ge's bruised and swollen face, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh: What happened to the art of war? He was beaten into submission right from the start. Is this what Sun Tzu's Art of War is all about?
At this moment, the man with the pompadour turned to Chen Feng and asked, "Is this idiot your older brother?"
No, I didn't.
Chen Fengcai couldn't bear the embarrassment, so he quickly distanced himself, saying, "It's my cousin's."
"Then get lost."
Before he could even finish saying "get lost," Chen Feng punched him to the ground.
The ghosts were stunned when they saw their leader being knocked down with a single punch.
Chen Feng pointed to his mouth: "Brother Dao, this doesn't work."
He clenched his fist again: "This one is still the best."
At this moment, the man with the spiky hair, whose sunglasses had fallen off, stood up and yelled, "The neighbor's drying peppercorns in front of their door—it's making the whole place numb!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and summoned the motorcycle to his side, then rode it towards Chen Feng.
"You're spouting rhymes all the time, are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"
Chen Feng beckoned, wanting to test how much power he had in his spirit form without a physical body.
Then the two collided.
With a bang.
Chen Feng was knocked back seven or eight steps.
The aircraft head was overturned and collapsed on the ground.
The little devils were astonished:
"Big brother, you actually lost?"
"And they were defeated head-on."
Dao Ge was also stunned: "Brother Chen, that's incredible?"
The thought of how he had been so eager to recruit someone as his underling made even Dao Ge, with his thick skin, blush a little.
Chen Feng coughed lightly twice, secretly thinking how close he had come to disaster.
These ghosts were actually quite virtuous; they didn't gang up on him. Otherwise, one car would have knocked him senseless. If all the cars had attacked at once, he would probably be done for.
"So, do you submit or not?"
The man with the airplane haircut was no longer in the mood for saying proverbs, but he still stubbornly said, "I don't accept it."
Chen Feng: "Shall we do it again?"
The man with the pompadour snorted, "I can't beat you, but I won't give up, is that not allowed?"
Chen Feng asked, "So what do you want in return for me to follow me?"
The man with the pompadour thought for a moment: "Unless, you can beat me in a race."
[Ding! Congratulations to the user for successfully triggering the mission to capture the motorcycle ghost]
【hooligan】
[Level of Resentment: ★★]
[Ability: Summon a motorcycle vehicle anytime, anywhere]
Weakness: Fire
[Wish: To win the motorcycle race against Afei and make him admit defeat]
Speeding!
Chen Feng glanced at the ghost motorcycle that the little devil had brought over. He had only ever ridden electric bikes before, and now he didn't have the S.A.W.S. body. To think that he could beat A Fei with this level of skill was probably just wishful thinking.
But he also has advantages.
That is divine consciousness.
It's already dark. Although the ghost's vision is decent, it's still far inferior to Chen Feng's 360-degree, all-encompassing divine sense.
Chen Feng decided to give it a try: "Come on."
Ah Fei hopped on his motorcycle and laid down three rules: "No leaving the road, no passing any person or vehicle, and no running ahead of time. Otherwise, we lose. Is that okay?"
"Of course." Chen Feng's eyes lit up, and he held out his hand to Brother Dao. "Brother Dao, can I borrow something from you?"
After the countdown of three, two, one...
The race has officially begun.
Just as Chen Feng had expected, with the enhancement of his divine sense, he indeed took a commanding lead on the straight road.
"Since I've become a ghost, I'm no longer afraid of the wind, which is actually a good thing."
"The Ghost Motorcycle's performance is also much better than that of ordinary motorcycles; it won't wobble even during sharp turns."
However, once you reach a bend, your lead disappears.
To avoid speeding off the road, Chen Feng had to slow down, while Feijitou drifted and successfully overtook him: "Fast on the curves is real speed; who doesn't accelerate on a straightaway?"
There's nothing we can do.
Chen Feng knew he would inevitably lose if things continued this way, so he pulled out the watermelon knife from Brother Dao's head.
Ghost artifacts are capable of harming ghosts.
Item race, start!
Chen Feng threw a kitchen knife: "I may not be able to overtake your motorcycle, but I can overturn it."
With a thud, Afei fell face-first off the bike, cursing, "You treacherous and vicious chili pepper!"
Chen Feng stated that none of the three rules explicitly prohibited attacking riders: "That's called violent motorcycling, buddy!"
Ah Fei's wish has been fulfilled.
[All conditions for capturing Afei have been met. You can now summon Afei anywhere.]
Chen Feng now has two summoned ghosts.
Speaking of which, Chen Feng hadn't had time to see what functions the Ghost-Catching System had fixed.
[Star-level enhancement and skill learning functions have been added]
[Star Rating Enhancement: By refining ghost coins, you can increase the star rating of ghosts.]
[Skill Learning: By consuming ghosts, you can grant them new abilities (up to four)]
Chen Feng asked about it.
The Star Enhancement System is used to upgrade Afei's skills.
For example, if Afei is currently a two-star ghost, and he is upgraded to a three-star ghost, the motorcycle he summons will be upgraded to a car.
If Samsung is a sports car, then four-star and five-star cars must be driving a luxury car or a tank, right?
As for skill learning, it involves killing other ghosts and stealing their abilities.
"Damn, at this rate, I could raise a Ghost King myself."
"If I could summon the Demon King at any time, wouldn't I just go on a rampage and slaughter everyone?"
Chen Feng originally planned to find out information about the Ghost King, complete the ten points for the prodigal son mission, and then find a way to die and restart.
But for now, let's not rush!
The ghost-catching system is fucking fun.
After subduing A Fei, Chen Feng inquired about the surrounding area: "Who guards the nearest cemetery?"
Ah Fei looked bewildered: "We're short women—we're not very knowledgeable, we've never been to the city."
At this moment, Brother Dao, who had been silent for a while, spoke up: "Guys, let me, the next Ghost King, explain it to you."
"Our entire Cihang City is composed of the Four Heavenly Kings, Devas, Humans, Asuras, Hungry Ghosts, Animals, and Hell."
Chen Feng couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever been to school? That's six of them."
Brother Dao nodded: "Yes, the Four Heavenly Kings, but there are six of them."
"First is the Heavenly King. It is said that his subordinates are all scattered immortals who failed in their cultivation, making him the strongest force."
"The Human King's subordinates are all composed of the deceased extraordinary individuals."
"The Asura King is a new demon who killed the old Asura King and took the throne half a year ago. All her subordinates are female demons."
I'd heard of Chen Feng in the daily intelligence report.
That old Asura King was called Painted Skin, I think.
From this, Chen Feng could also see that although Brother Dao was a bit incompetent, he was really well-informed.
"The Hungry Ghost King has the most ferocious man-eating minions under his command; they are all evil ghosts."
"The Beast King, also known as the King of Beasts, only collects the souls of animals and monsters after they die. He is a veritable army of beasts."
Wait a moment.
Chen Feng suddenly remembered something.
Given Old Wolf's abilities, he should have become a ghost after he died, so why didn't I see him in the same spot?
A few seconds passed.
Chen Fengcai realized it.
Damn, Old Wolf might have been waiting for him, but soon, the entire area was struck by lightning.
If the wolf doesn't run, it'll just stay in the same spot and get hacked to pieces.
"The King of Hell is the Ghost King's most loyal subordinate, and he commands all the ghost messengers."
"These six Heavenly Kings control the entire city. Among them, the Hungry Ghosts and Asuras are the easiest to break through, but my brother Dao doesn't like to bully women, so the Hungry Ghosts are our primary target."
"This hungry ghost has nine cemeteries and nine subordinates: the Fire Ghost, the Big-Mouthed Ghost, the Poison Ghost, the Stink Ghost, the Thorn Ghost, the Phlegm Ghost, the Power Ghost, and the Two Ghosts of Gain and Loss."
"It would be a poor strategy for us to directly wage war against the Hungry Ghost King."
"Why not sweep his grave first, then join them as a newcomer, and then gradually take action?"
After some analysis, the man with the pompadour was immediately impressed: "Brother Dao, I've really seen something new today—it's an eye-opener for me."
That's incredibly damaging to unity.
Brother Dao rubbed his head, which Xiao Dao had pulled, and asked Chen Feng, "Brother, what's next?"
After a moment's thought, Chen Feng decided on his target: "I'll choose the Fire Demon."
Upon hearing that Chen Feng wanted to fight the fire ghosts, all the motorcycle ghosts looked troubled: "Boss, isn't that a bad idea? We're afraid of fire."
Brother Dao also advised, "Fire abilities are not easy to deal with."
Chen Feng knew, of course, that fire abilities were difficult to deal with.
After all, in the Pokémon games, the most popular starter Pokémon is the Fire type.
But the main point of playing Pokémon is type advantage.
Chen Feng confidently replied, "I have a Water Demon General who can slay the Fire Demon!"
