For me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His well-maintained appearance made him look like a little old man in his forties, and he couldn’t help but shiver inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The business world is like a battlefield; in his youth, he was fearless, with money to dedicate to masters, hearing many stories of strange supernatural phenomena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had never seen a real big shot who could open Yin Yang Eye for people; tales of bull tears or grave willow leaves enabling ghost-sight were just fabrications. After living for more than half his life, he had only heard the masters recount such things, never witnessing them firsthand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, can you really let us see ghosts?!\" Chuci got excited, ready to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan was secretly pleased, thinking his little money was in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I can.\" He nodded solemnly, \"Earlier, when you said there were many frauds in this business, sometimes spending a fortune on things without knowing if they were genuine or not, and so-called haunted troubles, who knows if they’re real or not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps someone deliberately released a small ghost to stir up unrest at home, and then extorted money by recalling the ghost. Without Yin Yang Eye, you wouldn’t see anything and would only hear fabrications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I specially created a potion that, when applied to the eyelids, allows you to see things that ordinary people can’t for six hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the introduction, Cai Changming’s eyes brightened, but being experienced, he asked softly, \"Will using the potion affect the body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And are there many things that you can see? At my age, I’m really worried about seeing scary things; my heart might not take it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about population ratios, even in this low-density upscale community, there could easily be spirits floating around, he was worried about seeing one and getting a mental scar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily, even now I haven’t seen many real ghosts.\" Jiang Yuan pondered how much to sell the ghost-seeking potion bottled in small containers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, using it frequently might lead to a weakening of Yang energy, a mild side effect, so it can’t be sold too expensively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Changming hesitated and was not too keen on using it, so the three of them first took a walk around his house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same large flat floor, upon entering the house, a three-meter Buddhist shrine style greeted them opposite the foyer, housing an imposing Guan Gong statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Jiang Yuan’s first time to see Lord Guan worshipped at home; he heard Guan Gong was the Martial God of Wealth and could fend off evil spirits, but upon closer inspection, he confirmed the bronze statue lacked any energy, being just a finely crafted art piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you feel something was off before or after hearing about Jia Zongliang’s death? Specifically, how was it off?\" After walking a circle without finding anomalies, he suspected the other was overly nervous and casually asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Changming lowered his voice, \"First felt something was off! At dawn, I suddenly awoke with all hairs standing up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t figure it out but felt someone was in the room. My wife and kids were down south, and since the office building incident, I haven’t let them come back; it was impossible for anyone else to be in the house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he led Jiang Yuan and Chuci inside, \"I got anxious, turned on the bedroom light, and checked surveillance on my phone, ensuring no one had snuck in. Then I thought maybe it was just in my head, getting ready to sleep, suddenly hearing the sound of glass beads bouncing across the floor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upstairs?\" Chuci instinctively looked up, as ghost stories typically narrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not upstairs, right in my home.\" Cai Changming pointed to the open study door, \"There, I heard the sound but saw nothing on the surveillance, then opened the door and saw a glass bead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan took a turn inside the study, finding it clean without a bit of Yin energy; of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that a day’s sun exposure had erased all traces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both my kids are grown, who plays with these at home? The key is when I saw it, the glass bead was slowly rolling forward, and it felt eerie, so I dared not step outside but returned to bed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering it still made him feel uncomfortable, and he lowered his voice further like afraid of disturbing something, \"I was muddle-headed and not clear-minded, lay in bed soon asleep again, and at 7:30 am, upon waking, it felt more like a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I checked, but not just the study, the entire house showed no sign of the glass bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought surely it was a nightmare, paid it no mind, ate, and went to work. But just now upon returning from work, wanting to wash up, while washing my face, suddenly felt a child’s hand on my shoulder! Small, cold, and grabbed me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Changming’s suspicious expression and tone scared Chuci, even daring not enter the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I quickly straightened up, yet saw nothing in the mirror, dared not continue washing, hurriedly dried and planned to call you, then saw the news—Jia Zongliang suicided out of guilt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan had just returned from Wilderness World, hadn’t even checked his phone when hearing, so he searched and indeed found an official notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He attempted suicide by jumping into the river but was rescued when caught.\" Chuci also crowded to see the notice, \"He’s quite decisive about suicide, succeeding even in the detention center.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Changming slapped his thigh, frowned deeply, \"Seeing the news I called friends, they said on surveillance he was like possessed, grabbing his hair, repeatedly banging against the wall; the guards hadn’t time to open the door to stop him, he had already crashed his brains out! Can that be considered suicide?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jiang Yuan, who had extensive knowledge from Wilderness World, felt a chill hearing his vivid description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But generally speaking, places like detention centers and police stations are endowed with yang energy, so little ghosts shouldn’t dare mess around, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you get the surveillance footage? Even a reproduction would do, I mainly want to see what exactly is causing the trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard to say, internal surveillance is strictly controlled, especially with a death. I’ll ask if it’s obtainable; right now, cleaning up my house is most important, perhaps... I should get more Incense Sticks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Cai Changming hoped for a once-and-for-all solution but seeing nothing yet felt unsure inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now the exact troubling entity is unclear, and Incense Stick’s effect is quite singular; if it doesn’t target the cause, it might not be effective.\" Jiang Yuan preferred long-term business, not just selling for the sake of selling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, resolving this business well would guarantee a long period of carefree spending in Wilderness World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are we to do then?\" Cai Changming now desperately wished to bind himself to Jiang Yuan, \"Should ... I perhaps trouble Master Jiang to handle it here overnight? I dare not stay anywhere else, this place is closest to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a lifetime in commerce, steering smoothly, now guarding his little legacy hoping for peaceful later years, how unlucky to encounter murder and haunting stirred into it for no reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan was devising tactics when he glanced outside and immediately froze, \"No need to bother, the main cause has just arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1236,"2026-06-06T10:14:27.309Z",1,"novelbin.me","86fd8faf0775a10251450fabf93159579342fb082ea9d265f9a68131a11ef779","huh-isn-t-this-an-adventure-kingdom-building-gam-chapter-178","huh-isn-t-this-an-adventure-kingdom-building-gam-chapter-176",1154,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhuh-isn-t-this-an-adventure-kingdom-building-gam-cover.jpg"]
