Chapter 248

The messenger on the second floor named Wang Chuan was indeed very enthusiastic and generous; he did not hesitate to share all the intelligence and information he had. For an outsider like Li Yi, these things were extremely important. His team had suffered greatly due to a lack of information, leading to heavy losses; by now, they were almost completely wiped out, with only Qin Bing still alive.

If they had known this earlier, at least Tao Yuan would not have died, and Zhang Jing would not have despairingly refused to deliver the letter, choosing instead to break through to the Spirit Perception Realm, leaving her fate unknown to this day.

If all of them were still here, they could have formed a team and perhaps become a relatively powerful messenger squad.

It is just a pity that all of this can never happen again.

"Many thanks for your information. Some of it is very useful to me. If there is a chance, I will repay you." Li Yi accepted the help and immediately thought of reciprocating, but unfortunately, he currently had no ability to repay him, so he could only express it verbally.

Wang Chuan, however, waved his hand indifferently and said, "This information also needs to be passed on. One day, someone will obtain this intelligence and be able to find a way to deal with the Ghost Post Office, completely ending this cursed land."

"I reckon no one can do that. The Ghost Post Office is not so easy to deal with; it involves too many terrifying things." Liu Liu Qingqing shook her head, not believing that anyone could dispose of the Ghost Post Office.

"I was just saying it; after all, it's good to keep a glimmer of hope. But speaking of repayment, I do have a small request. If you ever go to the third or fourth floor, or if you manage to leave the Ghost Post Office, if there is a chance, please help me wire some money to my family. I have to deliver letters every month like this and can't hold a job; my family is almost unable to make ends meet now." Wang Chuan laughed at himself.

Li Yi was stunned; he did not expect his request to be so simple, requiring only some financial help.

But he immediately understood; after all, this Wang Chuan was also an ordinary person with a family and children, and needing money for living expenses was very normal.

"That's no problem. Give me a card number, and when I have the chance, I'll get some money and wire it to you. I won't boast about large amounts, but satisfying your family's normal expenses for a lifetime should be no problem." Li Yi agreed immediately.

Wang Chuan was taken aback and looked at him with some surprise. He did not expect this newcomer to be so indifferent to money, and looking at his demeanor, he seemed very confident, as if making money was not a difficult task for him at all.

Could he be a rich second-generation heir?

"Since you've said so, I won't be polite then." Wang Chuan laughed and actually sent the card number to Li Yi.

Although Li Yi's promise might not necessarily be fulfilled, he would not lose anything either; he would just treat it as giving his family a chance.

Guo You, however, understood that for Li Yi, getting a large sum of money was really not difficult. He was a fierce person who could leap up several floors in one go, and his actions were completely uninhibited and lawless. If he were short of money one day, robbing a bank would be possible.

"Money is not important to me; how to survive is what matters." Li Yi said with a calm expression, "It's a pity my current situation is a bit special, and I'm penniless. If I could go home, giving you tens of millions would be no problem."

He was currently an evolver in the Spirit Perception Realm. If he could return to Tianchang City, as long as he went to a danger zone and hunted a few extraordinary creatures, he would definitely earn several hundred million.

It is a pity that here, Li Yi was still very poor, and he had not yet found a way to make money.

"If others said this, I might think they were bragging, but you are different. You are very special." Wang Chuan's smile faded, and he said with some seriousness, because he had long observed that Li Yi's pair of eyes glowed in the dim room, and his whole body revealed an aura different from ordinary people.

This aura was not the aura of a Ghost Controller, but a kind of extraordinary quality different from ordinary people; just standing there, he was as eye-catching as a crane in a flock of chickens.

This was not only observed by him, but also by Liu Liu Qingqing.

It seems a talent has come up to the first floor.

"But Li Yi, now that you know so much, do you have any plans? Will you deliver letters one by one slowly, or will you challenge yourself, intercept my third letter in a few days, and go to the third floor to take a look?" Wang Chuan asked.

"I am still thinking about this question." Li Yi said.

Both sides have pros and cons. Delivering letters slowly means more tasks; if luck is bad, he might have to deliver three letters himself. If he intercepts Wang Chuan's third letter to go to the third floor, although it is a bit risky, as long as he survives this time, he can safely wait for the cross-dimensional gate to open.

"I don't care what your thoughts are; I am going to the third floor. I don't want to waste time slowly. I am a Ghost Controller, and I cannot afford to waste this time." Liu Liu Qingqing said, "If you are willing to deliver the third letter, we can form a team; perhaps it will be good for everyone. Guo You, what about you?"

Afterward, she looked to the side.

"Me?" Guo You gave a bitter smile. He was neither a Ghost Controller nor a freakish expert like Li Yi, so what right to speak did he have? He immediately said, "When I was on the first floor before, thanks to Li Yi, I completed a letter delivery task. This time, I will still listen to him. If he wants to deliver it, I will go; if he doesn't go, I won't go."

At this time, listening to the expert is never wrong.

After all, Li Yi is not a Ghost Controller, and most of the time he considers the situation as an ordinary person, which is more in line with his interests.

Liu Liu Qingqing is a Ghost Controller and can be aggressive because she has the means to counter fierce ghosts.

"No rush. My letter will take some time to appear. You can think about it slowly, and by the way, see if any new messengers will appear in the next few days." Wang Chuan said, "By the way, let me mention that there is no rule on the second floor that a room can only house one person. One room can house two, or even three messengers at the same time."

"However, for the sake of safety, it is still not recommended to have too many people in one room."

"This is good news; at least messengers won't kill each other over grabbing rooms." Li Yi nodded; this was also a very important piece of intelligence.

Wang Chuan said, "It is said that the rooms on the third floor are more special and can accommodate an infinite number of messengers. It seems the higher the floor, the more the Ghost Post Office cherishes the lives of messengers."

"That is natural. It's not easy to cultivate someone to the third or fourth floor; if they died because of grabbing a room, that would be a great loss." Guo You said with a smile, "The goal of the Ghost Post Office should not be to kill messengers, but to cultivate them."

"I think so too, but you still need to be careful at night. There will be ghosts wandering, and you still cannot go out after six o'clock."

Wang Chuan said, "However, if you have the chance, you can risk going to the first floor to pick up some black letter paper. That thing can be used to save your life at critical moments. But black letter paper only appears at night, and after the lights go out at night, it is pitch black and very difficult to pick up. Plus, with fierce ghosts wandering, the risk is very high. In short, weigh it yourself."

"Black letter paper, is it this?" Li Yi took out a small stack of letter paper and said.

At this moment, Wang Chuan, Guo You, and Liu Liu Qingqing were all stunned.

So many?

"An expert is an expert. Picking up letter paper has no difficulty for you at all." Guo You was envious and admiring; after all, he was someone who had seen Li Yi's skills.

"Can you give me some?" At this moment, Liu Liu Qingqing could not help but speak, "Although I can also go to the first floor to pick it up, I don't want to run into the ghosts in the Ghost Post Office."

Li Yi was very generous, because he still had a thick stack in his backpack that he couldn't use up himself, so he immediately gave each of them a few sheets and explained the usage of the letter paper at the same time.

"You actually understand the letter paper very clearly." Wang Chuan said with some surprise. This kind of understanding of the letter paper was completely beyond what a first-floor messenger could achieve.

"Because I picked up a lot of letter paper, I burned quite a bit when I had nothing to do, and figured it out." Li Yi said, "As long as you try and make mistakes enough times, there is nothing you can't do."

"You are really extravagant, burning letter paper for fun when you have nothing to do. Although this thing is not considered precious, it is very useful to messengers, and the consumption is also high. It is considered a hard currency in the Ghost Post Office. If you run into someone rich, they will even pay a high price to buy it. I saw someone buying it for ten thousand yuan a sheet before." Wang Chuan laughed and put down the wine bottle in his hand.

"That thing can be picked up everywhere, and people still buy it?" Li Yi asked.

Wang Chuan said, "Of course, because going from the second floor to the first floor and back involves a certain risk, and this is not a letter delivery task. If you happen to run into a ghost and can't come back, wouldn't that be too much of a loss? And I heard that in the middle of the night, not only can you pick up letter paper in the Ghost Post Office, but if you have the chance, you can also see some supernatural items. It's just that not many people are willing to go out and explore at night; after all, the gain is not worth the loss."

However, the speaker had no intention, but the listener did.

Others are unwilling to go out at night to explore the Ghost Post Office because it is dark at night and they can't see clearly. Besides that, the speed of going back and forth is too slow. Once targeted by a ghost, they can't even outrun it. But he is different. With his speed, even the second floor of the Ghost Post Office can be rushed back to in just a few seconds.

But Li Yi also doesn't want to take risks, because he doesn't really want to complete the letter delivery task, he just has no way to waste time here.

Afterward, the group chatted a lot and exchanged a lot of information and intelligence, and at the same time, let people know a lot about the Ghost Post Office.

Besides that, Li Yi also consulted Liu Liu Qingqing about many things regarding Ghost Controllers. Liu Liu Qingqing was not stingy and took the initiative to explain a lot about the situation of Ghost Controllers, and even briefly mentioned how to become a Ghost Controller.

"Accidentally touched the supernatural during a supernatural event and didn't die, thus becoming a Ghost Controller?" Li Yi found it unbelievable.

This Ghost Controller is too uncontrollable.

Even becoming a Ghost Controller is random, with no experience to draw from, and once you become a Ghost Controller, you are parasitized by a ghost, leaving you with only about half a year of life, and even with the increased frequency of using supernatural powers, your lifespan will be further shortened.

If you want to survive, there is only one way, and that is to continue to control fierce ghosts, use two different supernatural powers to achieve balance in the body, and extend your lifespan.

But that is only a temporary extension of life. Once the time is up, or if you use too much supernatural power, the fierce ghost will still revive, and you will die suddenly.

"A Ghost Controller is really not a good profession. It's too short-lived and too extreme. Although the level of supernatural power in this world is very high, if there is only half a year of life, then forget it." Li Yi thought to himself, and at the same time, firmed up his idea of not becoming a Ghost Controller.

If he were parasitized by a fierce ghost, he could only stay in this world. Otherwise, after returning to his own world, without the same fierce ghost to control, wouldn't he die faster?

"This is a world more desperate than the Tianqing World. I think the people here will all die sooner or later."

Li Yi felt pessimistic about the development of this world at this moment. People living here are like living in a hell full of evil ghosts, with no future at all.
