Arrangements for Ghost Village
"Someone, go and fetch Wang Lizheng, over here."
Gu Xi pondered for a moment, then turned and gave the order, while he also began to tour around Su Family Village.
At this moment, Gu Xi also understood why Su Family Village, this ghost village, was out of control.
There are no Core Building like a Council Hall in this ghost village, or perhaps the core of this ghost village is the fallen village tree.
Without Council Hall, and with the community tree mutated and fallen, how can anyone occupy this place?
After taking this round, Gu Xi finally understood the purpose of the buildings in Su Family Village.
The stage can condense ghosts that are about to dissipate, similar to the function of Ghost Electric Tower.
However, the stage here is for all ghosts, while the Ghost Electric Tower is only for Ghost.
The inn is a place for ghosts to rest. As long as they stay in the inn, the number of souls they consume each day will be reduced, and they won't die from the wind and sun.
As for the other shops, they were all for ghosts to use on their final journey to the Yellow Springs Road.
In these shops, ghosts can sell some unnecessary parts of their bodies, such as skin, flesh, and bones.
You can also buy some things you'll need after entering the Yellow Springs Road, such as food and water, and herbs to deal with the demons and monsters on the Yellow Springs Road.
It could be said that ghosts would transit through this place.
Then they entered the Yellow Springs Road and never returned.
This is not a good thing for Gu Xi.
As a necromancer, what he desires is an endless supply of souls.
The Su Family Village before us is essentially providing a way out for the souls of the dead in the vicinity.
This is not a good thing for Gu Xi.
Just then, Gu Xi's Gargoyle arrived carrying Wang Lizheng.
As soon as he was put down, Wang Lizheng ran to Gu Xi.
"Sir, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, look, does this ghost village look familiar to you?"
Wang Lizheng was speechless when he heard Gu Xi's question.
"My lord, I am not familiar with this ghost village at all. I never came here when I was alive."
"Then go and take a walk around the village, and then think about what you can do if you get your hands on it."
Gu Xi was well aware of Wang Lizheng's abilities, but Gu Xi still wanted to see what Wang Lizheng could offer him.
Wang Lizheng around the area for a while before finally approaching Gu Xi and asking, "Sir, how would you like to collect taxes? A large amount or a small amount?"
"What about a large harvest? What about a small harvest?"
"If I collect on a large scale, I'll skin every ghost that passes by. If I collect on a small scale, I can only collect a little bit of stuff, and I can only make a small profit from the difference."
However, if you collect a small amount, the ghosts will be more obedient. The flesh, skin, and bones they sell are the best materials, and the Farmland can also be used by the ghosts for planting.
Although the income will be less, it can be sustained.
Gu Xi was somewhat surprised by what Wang Lizheng said.
"Why would you make me choose to accept a small amount? I thought that, given your personality, you would make me choose to accept a large amount."
"They're already dead, their flesh, skin, and bones have all been sold to me, what else can I do?"
Hearing this, Gu Xi laughed and said, "Alright, from now on you can help me manage this Su Family Village."
Gu Xi casually handed the land deed of Su Family Village to Wang Lizheng.
"I have only one request: keep a close watch on this village. Whether they are entering the Yellow Springs from here or from outside this Mountain Area, you must find out exactly what they are here for."
Listening to Gu Xi's words, Wang Lizheng understood why Gu Xi had called him over.
He was used to this kind of thing when he was the village head.
If you put yourself in another position, he probably wouldn't have done as well.
On the contrary, having him keep watch here is a relatively simple task for Wang Lizheng. Most importantly, Wang Lizheng believes that he can definitely do this job well.
Then he wouldn't have to worry about Gu Xi driving him away, and he would no longer be Wandering Souls.
Gu Xi didn't quite understand Wang Lizheng's reaction.
However, judging from his expression, Gu Xi was certain that Wang Lizheng would arrange everything properly.
After handing over the reins of Su Family Village, Gu Xi was no longer in such a hurry.
He left the Summoning Tower in Su Family Village to suppress the evil spirits for a period of time, and then returned to Aryadovi City.
Having just survived a battle, Gu Xi needed a rest. Having nearly Gu Xi, he needed to find a place to sleep and replenish his mana and energy.
Seeing Gu Xi head towards the Steel City Gate without looking back, Li Liangquan, who had been staying by Gu Xi's side, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He understood that this matter was now in the past.
However, he glanced back at Gu Xi, still wondering where this guy came from. He wasn't strong, but his aura was ridiculously powerful.
Perhaps they were released specifically to participate in the upcoming selection of the Yama.
Thinking of this, Li Liangquan was jolted awake and dared not think any further. He quickly entered the Yellow Springs Passage and returned to the Yellow Springs Road.
And so Su Family Village returned to its original tranquility.
However, after losing the She Tree, Su Family Village no longer has the clean and fresh atmosphere it once had; it has now been tinged with a sense of gloom.
Gu Xi was unaware of these things. After entering the Aryadovi City, he went straight to the tavern.
The tavern had now been upgraded to level 2, and its appearance had changed significantly.
From the outside, the tavern has become a two-story building, and the hall and other areas inside are also significantly larger.
Many undead were busy moving back and forth inside the tavern.
However, Gu Xi noticed that there were more waiters than managers here, and a ghost was wiping the table in front of each table.
The White Bone Wine Maiden, rather bored, propped herself up by the window and looked outside with some displeasure.
The Corpse Succubus, the only guest in the tavern, was chatting with the Blood Flower Queen.
Upon seeing Gu Xi enter, the Corpse Succubus immediately stood up.
"Sir, you've arrived. What are you planning to eat today?"
"Corpse Succubus, that's enough! This is none of your business. All you do is wait for men here all day. When will you ever stop?"
The White Bone Wine Maiden walked over with a displeased look, and finally glared at the Corpse Succubus, saying, "This is a customer of our tavern. You are not one of us, so get out of the way."
Gu Xi was already used to this kind of thing. He found a table, sat down, and placed the Blood Painted Skin on the table.
"Wine Maiden, bring up your best wine. If you don't have good wine, I'm afraid you won't be able to take this away."
