Chapter 261: You

Su Ming's voice was full of deceit.

However.

The imagined scene of ghosts fighting over business and clinging to big legs never appeared.

Whoosh—!

Su Ming took a step forward.

The circle of Ghost Merchants that had been gathered at a distance, terrified, all retreated three steps in unison!

Sell?!

Sell what the hell!

Who dares to sell to you?!

The Gold-toothed General's corpse is still warm, his head still rolling on the ground!

You say you're a Big Wronged Seed? Not short of money?

Scamming ghosts?!

If the price is a bit high and this lord deems it overpriced or commercial fraud…

What if he turns and chops you with a knife?!

Are you here to buy something?

You're clearly engaging in Fishing Law Enforcement!

"Hmm?"

Su Ming frowned slightly, a bit displeased.

He stopped in front of a small stall selling soup.

The stall owner was a chinless female ghost, trembling as she stirred the green, bubbling liquid in the pot.

"How do you sell this soup?"

Su Ming pointed at the large pot.

Clang—!

The female ghost shivered, and the spoon in her hand dropped into the pot, splashing a few drops of green water.

She lifted her head, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from her hollow eye sockets.

That was truly terrifying!

"No… no money!"

"Sir! Please drink! Help yourself!"

"This soup has no meat! It's… it's just my morning foot‑washing water mixed with a bit of incense ash! It's worthless! Truly worthless!"

"Please don't inspect it! Please don't call it fake!"

The female ghost was about to cry out.

Her soup really is a trap; normally sold for 50 points a bowl, targeting new ghosts.

But now, if she dares to charge this lord points and it's found to be foot‑washing water…

Then her head will probably become the base ingredient for the next pot of soup!

"Foot‑washing water?"

Beside her, Magu disdainfully covered her mouth and nose with a fan and stepped back.

Su Ming also twitched the corner of his mouth.

He had just planned to use the Eye of Truth to glance at the ingredients…

Now, he suddenly feels there's no need for that?!

It hasn't even begun to apply force, yet it's already used everything?

Is this the effect of overbearing deterrence?

The ghosts of this generation have such poor mental resilience!

"No spirit."

Su Ming shook his head, feeling somewhat disheartened.

The outer perimeter of the Huangquan Night Market has already been cut through by his killing, and also frightened through.

"Since you all are so passive, I'll take the initiative now, roar!"

Su Ming shook his shoulders, forced himself to get excited, his pupils flashing with golden light.

Soon, he arrived at a stall piled with a mess of water plants and silt.

The owner was a drowned ghost, drenched all over, constantly seeping water outward.

【Name】: Yin Spirit Grass

【Quality】: Excellent

【Karma Overview】: A companion grass that grows by the Huangquan Road, looks disgusting, but is actually the main ingredient for the Soul-Returning Pill! If chewed and swallowed directly, it can greatly soothe restless souls and restore damaged spiritual power.

Good stuff!

Let's not even talk about whether it's a Soul-Returning Pill or not.

This thing does a decent job of replenishing spiritual power!

"Owner!"

Su Ming waved the bundle of rotten vegetable leaves dripping black water in his hand, his tone flat, revealing no emotion.

"What price for this thing?"

The drowned ghost's whole body tensed, and his two bulging eyeballs nearly popped out.

The asking price?

It wouldn't dare ask for a price?

But it… also can't bear to sell at a low price!

This is something it gathered at the risk of being dragged away by water ghosts!

"Big… big master!"

The Drowned Ghost stammered.

"Master… this grass isn't useful, it's… it's for feeding pigs!"

"Really! This is feed for shadow pigs! Your status is noble; perhaps look at someone else's!"

It really fears a loss!

But Su Ming, upon hearing that, had his eyes brighten and gave his thigh a slap.

"Hm?!"

"How do you know I have a pig at home?!"

Drowned Ghost: "???"

Global Audience: "???"

Su Ming wore a look of "finally meeting you" and pointed at the grass in his hand.

"What a coincidence, my pig has been picky lately; maybe it likes this underworld flavor."

"How about this: I see you've had a hard time, and I can't let you work in vain."

Su Ming extended a finger.

"100 points, this bunch, I'll take them all!"

The whole venue fell dead silent.

Many seasoned ghosts hiding in the shadows, who could tell quality, had their eyes bulging out.

This is Yin Spirit Grass, damn it, for feeding pigs!

Even placed in this night market, it counts as hard currency!

Just 100 points?

The same price as that broken candied hawthorn?!

If this really sells, my underwear will be lost!

But in the live room, the bullet‑screen style shifted abruptly, and the Audience was shocked.

"Snatching a little?! 100 points? Hanging with Pure God really brings meat! Even trash gets such a high price!"

"Wuwu, may I ask what posture is needed to meet a big shot like this?"

"Look at the Drowned Ghost's awkward look; you can tell it doesn't want to be cheap, this ghost is actually quite good!"

On the street.

The Drowned Ghost looked at Su Ming's sincere smile.

Then glanced at the Golden-Tooth General lying on the ground, his teeth stripped.

"Fine… 100 points is 100 points!"

"Thanks!"

The Drowned Ghost's body trembled, yet it gritted its teeth and agreed.

Still has to say thank you!

What else could it do?

This mute loss can only swallow it itself!

It just called this trash, it can't instantly switch to saying it's a treasure of heaven and earth!

Wouldn't that be slapping the words "lie" and "fraud" onto its forehead?!

"Magu, take it!"

Su Ming casually tossed the bundle of grass to the Magu behind him, a slight smile curling his lips.

He tasted the sweet side...

This feeling of having absolute pricing power...

Indeed far more interesting than just snatching it outright!

A civilized person should shop in a civilized way.

Play a bit more!

For the next hour and a bit.

A ghoul world in utter misery.

The man cloaked in a black trench coat, smiling.

He was like a tireless harvester, sweeping each stall as if with a bulldozer.

"How do you sell this broken jar?"

"This piece of wood makes a good table pad, want to play with it?!"

The shopping list was quite chaotic and absurd.

As long as the Eye of Truth deems something valuable.

No matter how disgusting the appearance, no matter how deep the vendor hides it, all are taken cheaply!

"Wang, why do you love shopping more than those girls!"

…

In the global live room, hundreds of millions of Audience watched this scene, their mindset already changed.

They've begun to savor the flavor.

The same thing!

Here it's sold as trash for 300 points, and they even have to throw in a smile!

Elsewhere those folks buy it for 3000 points—take it or leave it!

Who could still not understand this?!

Strength is the Unique right to set the price!

……

On the spot, Su Ming's Eye of Truth continues scanning.

【Name】: Thousand Illusion Fox Mask

【Quality】: Excellent

【Karma Overview】: Put it on, your aura becomes no different from a fox's, and you can blend in perfectly!

"Somewhat interesting."

Su Ming is thinking of his pitch, ready to pull out money to get it.

Suddenly.

Buzz—!

Deep in the crust, a roar rises, echoing throughout the Huangquan Night Market.

The sound is neither as crisp as the earlier bell nor as grimly piercing as a bronze gong.

It resembles more…

A colossal being that has slumbered for a thousand years is awakening!

The bluestone slab road beneath the feet begins to tremble slightly.

The Ghost Merchants, who were previously shivering, now each have their faces turn pale.

"It's… coming!"

"Shh! Don't speak yet!"

"That place… has opened!!"
