"Is it decided, then?" "Mm." Guo Dong nodded, his fluffy hair swaying slightly with the motion. "Sign the contract." The other party handed over a pre-prepared document and, in a voice barely audible to anyone else, added, "Make sure to fill in the contact information. Cremation subsidies are provided after death..." Guo Dong's sharp ears caught it. His dark, clear eyes lit up instantly. "Cremation subsidies? How much?" The other party looked at him in surprise, their expression turning strange. "...Half a year's salary." Guo Dong beamed with joy on the spot. --- Walking down the snack street, Guo Dong turned left at the two-thirds mark, entered a narrow alley paved with mossy cobblestones, and came to a large, decayed iron door covered in rust. He opened the door and slipped inside to the grating sound that could make anyone's scalp tingle. Behind the door was an overgrown, poorly maintained yard. At the e

They All Say I Ghosted the Infinite Overlord

After retiring as the King of Ghost Kings, Guo Dong found a strange job: guarding a door in a peculiar underground warehouse. The job was odd, sure, but with a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan and even a cremation subsidy after death, Guo Dong took it without hesitation—for the sake of the limited-edition dolls he'd bought on installment plans lasting twenty years. On his first day at work, Guo Dong saw a group of people sneakily shove a legendary human-skin ghost through the door. That human-skin ghost seemed to be his former pet... On the second day, the same group came back, this time with a ghost king (who also happened to be his former subordinate). On the third day, Guo Dong realized that the door he was guarding seemed to be the enemy's prison. On the fourth day, his boss selected him to join a team to enter a dungeon and fight ghosts. Guo Dong: "...I refuse." Chen Ran: "I'll pay overtime." Guo Dong: "(☆_☆) If there’s overtime pay, I’ll

 Gu Zhan turned to flee, which only made the director of the psychiatric hospital even angrier. He patted the enormous creature beneath him and shouted in fury, "Chase!" The monster started moving toward Gu Zhan’s direction. Even though the monster wasn’t fast, its massive size allowed it to cover a large distance with every step, and its movements caused the ground to tremble. Gu Zhan and Qin Yue, however, only had two legs, making their escape clumsy and frantic. The distance between them and the monster was closing, and every time Qin Yue ran, he was jolted into the air by the heavy footsteps of the creature, like a scene from Tom and Jerry. Unable to hold back, he asked, "Boss, what kind of grudge do you have with him? Can't we just talk this out?" Gu Zhan glanced back quickly. The director, still seated on the giant creature’s shoulder, wore a face full of rage. Gu Zhan thought to himself, Talking is not an option. But running like this wasn’t a sol

Until now, Jiang Haichuan still believed that Gu Zhan had been kicked out. Gu Zhan gave a slight smile and said, "Maybe, I left on my own?" Jiang Haichuan’s expression changed, but it was too late. The players and monsters collided, and the battle began! These people were Jiang Haichuan’s elite force, selected for their combat skills. They could fly and jump, and their battle techniques were strong. But the monsters didn’t care. They were tough and enjoyed the fight, relishing the chaos of the battle. Soon, both sides were injured, but Jiang Haichuan’s people couldn’t get any closer to the central crystal ball of the base. Most of them were knocked down, being pummeled by the monsters. As Gu Zhan had said, there were so many people in this game, and no one else came to provoke him, not just because they feared monsters. Another key reason was that Gu Zhan’s team was truly strong. Having seen the monsters’ loyalty to Gu Zhan, it was clear that if a conflict broke out,

“The Red cloud lost a base... strange.” Inside the base occupied by Hai Chao, Jiang Haichuan stared at the map displayed by the system, his brows furrowed. The base that had separated from the Red cloud didn’t disappear into the thick fog again; the bright yellow stood out sharply in his eyes. “Have we attacked this base of Shan Ze’s before?” He showed the map to the person next to him. ( Shan Ze ≠ Yu Yezhou's guild) The person glanced at it and said, “There were some small-scale harassment attempts, but the people from Shan Ze are like mad dogs; we couldn't even break in. They couldn't even touch the crystal.” After hearing this, Jiang Haichuan felt increasingly uneasy. Hai Chao hadn't taken over a Red cloud base, so how did this base separate? Suddenly, the person beside him remembered something and said, “Could it be the monsters?” Recently, there had been a sudden increase in roaming monsters. Some of them looked very familiar, but most were lethargic and di
