"No. 648, Huanhe Residential Area? This was the place!"
"Whoa, what a huge demolition character!"
Su Chen arrived at No. 648, Huanhe Residential Area and found that it was actually a small courtyard. A huge demolition character had been painted on the crumbling courtyard wall!
It looked like the home of someone awaiting relocation. Could this be a big deal?
He had heard that the relocation compensation for this batch of homes in Huanhe Residential Area had already reached millions. Su Chen's eyes immediately brightened. Since this was a wealthy client, he had to seize the opportunity!
Carrying three parts anticipation, three parts nervousness, three parts confidence, and one part reverence, Su Chen knocked on the courtyard gate!
The gate slowly opened, revealing an elderly man wearing an old-fashioned military cap. His face was covered in wrinkles, his complexion was poor, and he was slightly hunched over, but none of that could conceal the bearing of an old soldier.
Honestly, the moment Su Chen saw that military cap, his heart trembled!
He could not help feeling even more reverence.
He quickly introduced himself.
"Hello, I'm from Su's Funeral Company!"
"Mm, come in!"
Chu Guozhong sized Su Chen up. He had a capable build, thick brows and large eyes, and looked like a decent, sunny young man.
He immediately let him into the courtyard.
Furniture waiting to be moved out was scattered around the yard, along with an indescribable smell. Su Chen could tell that the scent came from the old man: a faint medicinal odor that seemed bitter even from a distance.
Coupled with the old man's poor complexion, even Su Chen, however slow he might be, knew that the old man was ordering funeral services for himself.
This was his first order. As soon as Su Chen entered the courtyard, he eagerly took out the handwritten package price list he had prepared long ago, which listed funeral services at various prices.
He handed it to the old man with an enthusiastic smile.
"Please take a look. This is our funeral service price list. It offers services at all kinds of price points, professionally creating a mysterious and terrifying farewell for you! Fair to the young and old alike, with no haggling!"
"Alright!"
Chu Guozhong glanced at Su Chen again. The young man looked kind enough, not like some shady kid.
However, when he saw the prices on the list, his eyes widened in shock, and the corner of his mouth twitched!
!!
Good grief, was this robbery?
One hundred thousand, one million, even hundred million yuan!?
Good grief, this kid really dared to write those prices!
How was that any different from robbery?
The exorbitant price list immediately made Chu Guozhong doubt Su Chen's identity and services. Funeral services could really be priced this outrageously?
It was far too expensive!
Seeing the hesitation on the old man's face, Su Chen hurried forward two steps and enthusiastically recommended, "Sir, how about I recommend a service? This one for one hundred thousand is quite good. If you can pay me one hundred thousand, three thousand black-clad people holding umbrellas will appear at your funeral. An unlicensed Hongqi Car will lead the way, while three elderly men in black Zhongshan suits and two tearful women will pay their respects before your gravestone, then leave solemnly!"
Hearing Su Chen's recommendation, Chu Guozhong coughed twice.
It did sound pretty good.
It was just too expensive!
Chu Guozhong immediately handed the price list back to Su Chen and shook his head. "Sorry, I can't afford that much!"
"Don't worry, sir. I also have a more cost-effective service!"
Su Chen was somewhat surprised and quickly continued.
The moment the price list was returned, he lost his confidence!
That shouldn't be right. Relocation compensation should have brought in a huge sum of money!
Had he failed to explain it clearly? Did the old man not trust him?
At that moment, Chu Guozhong's information suddenly appeared in Su Chen's mind through the system!
Name: Chu Guozhong
Identity: Retired veteran
Remaining Lifespan: 19 hours
Personal assets: Three million yuan (all donated to charity)
Recommended service: ninety-nine yuan
Only then did Su Chen suddenly understand.
It seemed he could only recommend the ninety-nine-yuan service. The price was a little low, but even a mosquito was still meat!
"I really don't have any money!"
Chu Guozhong repeatedly shook his head and turned to leave. He truly could not afford such an expensive price.
Looking at the old man's trembling figure, Su Chen seemed able to see his life slipping away. If they failed to reach an agreement today, this order would be completely lost.
He hardened his heart and gritted his teeth.
"Sir, if you are willing to pay me ninety-nine yuan, I will wear a black suit, black sunglasses, and an earpiece at your funeral. No matter the weather, I will hold up a black umbrella and silently watch the crowd!"
Su Chen stopped Chu Guozhong and spoke sincerely.
He had no choice. He was desperate enough that any order was better than none!
Otherwise, he did not even know where tomorrow's meal money would come from!
Seeing Su Chen's sincere expression, Chu Guozhong's heart trembled violently, as though something had moved him. He narrowed his aged eyes and imagined what it would be like if that scene truly appeared at his funeral.
"Sir, it only costs ninety-nine yuan to give you a mysterious and terrifying farewell!"
Su Chen spoke from the bottom of his heart.
A moment later,
Chu Guozhong looked at Su Chen and let out a deep sigh.
"Really?"
"Absolutely!"
Delighted, Su Chen quickly nodded.
Then, he happily took out the payment QR code he had prepared long ago, ready for the old man to scan it and pay.
Chu Guozhong pulled a slightly crumpled one-hundred-yuan bill from his breast pocket, stuffed it into Su Chen's hand, and smiled. "Kid, you look like a kind person. I believe you! Keep the one hundred yuan; no need for change!"
"Sir, please fill in your information and the location where the funeral will be held here."
Su Chen said it directly, without any reservations.
Anyone ordering funeral services knew that their time was running out, so there was no need for so many taboos.
Chu Guozhong filled in his information and the location where the funeral would be held.
At last, he gave Su Chen a long look.
Weathered and sorrowful~
As the company's first customer, Su Chen gave the old man a slight nod.
"Sir, I hope you enjoy the service!"
Then, he left the small courtyard.
He felt both excited and wistful.
After riding his motorcycle back to the shop,
At that moment,
The system's voice rang out in his mind!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, on activating your first funeral task! Service item: ninety-nine yuan! Automatically converted into ninety-nine points! Points can be exchanged in the points shop for supplies needed for the task. After completing the task, the system will issue additional rewards of different grades based on task completion! Ding!

Without hesitating, Su Chen directly exchanged for the set.
Next, he only had to wait until Chu Guozhong passed away, then make a grand appearance at the funeral~
Su Chen briefly organized Chu Guozhong's information.
In less than a day, he would be holding a funeral for Chu Guozhong!
