Even Ghosts Don't Believe It! Stealing My Job?

Seeing that Brother Li and the others could only think of the Demon Suppression Division, Lin Chen's face darkened. "Tell me, is there a possibility that I was the one who destroyed Stupid Biao?"

"You?"

Brother Li was stunned, then burst into laughter. "You destroyed Stupid Biao? You pretty boy, you'd be better off helping Stupid Biao put out fires, let alone destroy him!"

"Ha~ha~"

As soon as he said that, the ghosts in the tavern burst into laughter. Clearly, their opinion was the same as Brother Li's. With Lin Chen's appearance, he might be good at putting out fires, but destroying ghosts?

Even ghosts wouldn't believe it!

"Why is it that when I tell the truth, no one... no ghost believes me?" Lin Chen sighed slightly upon seeing this.

Seeing this, Brother Chun immediately stepped forward with a fawning smile. "Master, they are short-sighted and do not recognize a true god."

"Forget it, we're all going to die anyway, it doesn't matter!"

Lin Chen waved his hand and, with a thought, directly activated his Blood Qi True Flame. In an instant, the entire tavern seemed to be enveloped by the sun, and all the ghosts present felt extremely uncomfortable.

"You..."

"This is..."

Brother Li's face sank, and he coldly shouted, "Little Chun, you dare betray me and bring a cultivator here!"

"Who betrayed you? I've always been Master's ghost!" Brother Chun pouted, then continued, "Who told you to be stupid and believe ghost stories!"

"I..."

Brother Li was furious, his ghostly energy surging. He roared, "Attack, kill them for me!"

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

Following Brother Li's roar, numerous ghosts immediately charged towards Lin Chen, seemingly intending to tear him apart with their numbers.

"Die!"

Lin Chen fully activated his Blood Qi True Flame and charged directly into the ghost horde. Any ghost he touched instantly turned into dust and dissipated, not even having time to scream.

"Scarface, you go!"

Seeing this, Brother Li's expression changed slightly. He immediately ordered Scarface beside him. As for himself, he grabbed two female ghosts and fled rapidly towards the outside of the tavern.

The strength Lin Chen displayed was at least Tier 4, possibly even Tier 5. They were no match for him. The most important thing now was to survive.

"Trying to run? Can you escape?"

Seeing Brother Li attempting to flee, Lin Chen accelerated his reaping speed. In just a moment, he had already reached Brother Li.

"Here you go!"

Seeing this, Brother Li's expression changed. He directly threw the two female ghosts in his arms, tossing them towards Lin Chen.

"Master, spare us!"

"We are willing to serve Master!"

The two female ghosts hadn't expected Brother Li to abandon them, even using them to block Lin Chen. Seeing Lin Chen approaching, they hurriedly begged for mercy.

Bang~ Bang~

With two dull thuds, the two female ghosts turned into dust. Lin Chen's figure reappeared in front of Brother Li.

Lin Chen looked at Brother Li, a half-smile on his face. "Run, why aren't you running anymore?"

"Master, spare me, I am willing to surrender to you." Brother Li hurriedly begged for mercy. "What Little Chun can do, I can do too, and my strength is greater than Little Chun's, making me more useful!"

"Holy crap..."

Brother Chun, not far away, heard this and his face changed drastically. Was Brother Li trying to steal his position? The key was that he couldn't refute it because Brother Li was telling the truth.

Brother Li was a Tier 3 ghost, while Brother Chun was only a Tier 2 ghost!

"Master..."

Brother Chun looked at Lin Chen pitifully. He knew that his life or death was merely a thought away for Lin Chen.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly, say it again!" Lin Chen looked at Brother Li.

"Master..." Brother Li hurriedly spoke.

"Your voice was too loud, it startled me!"

Lin Chen threw a punch. Under Brother Li's bewildered and suspicious gaze, his body exploded, turning into dust and dissipating.

Lin Chen looked at Brother Chun beside him, sighing with emotion. "You know, this guy, when he speaks, why does he have to be so loud? It made my hand tremble, and in the end, he suffered for it."

"Master is right, this guy brought it upon himself." Brother Chun nodded repeatedly, secretly relieved. Lin Chen killing Brother Li meant he was safe for now.

Lin Chen looked at Brother Chun and said calmly, "Don't flatter me, don't forget about the other bosses in the other areas!"

"Master, don't worry, I'll immediately find a way to lure them out." Brother Chun quickly assured him.

"Let's stop here for today. If you find anything, contact me!" Lin Chen glanced at Brother Chun and slowly said, "I believe you won't run away, right?"

"Of course not!" Brother Chun shook his head quickly. He had witnessed Lin Chen's strength. If he dared to run, his end would definitely be miserable.

Rather than thinking about escaping, it was better to sincerely work for Lin Chen. Lin Chen as a backer was much better than any boss.

"That's good!"

Lin Chen smiled faintly and looked at Brother Chun. "So far, no ghost has ever escaped my grasp. If you run, I guarantee your ghostly existence will be quite exciting."

Gulp~

Brother Chun swallowed hard at Lin Chen's words. He had no doubt about what Lin Chen said, because Lin Chen absolutely had the strength and means to back it up!

As the other ghosts were annihilated by Lin Chen, the tavern, no longer sustained by ghostly energy, began to revert to its original state: a dilapidated tiled house.

After leaving Brother Chun his contact information, Lin Chen drove towards the city center, checking his System panel along the way.

"Origin: ."

In addition to the seven thousand Origin points he had left, Brother Li's group provided a total of thirty-eight thousand Origin points. This amount was even less than what Brother Biao's group had provided previously.

However, Brother Biao dared to come to the city for negotiations by relying on his sheer numbers. In terms of manpower and influence alone, the various bosses in the city were relatively weaker. It was just that these city bosses understood cooperation better, whereas Brother Biao acted entirely on his own.

Lin Chen didn't hesitate and chose to reinforce. The Phoenix Undying Body's first level and the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt's first level were directly reinforced to their limits. The Blood Qi True Flame and Blood Qi True Dragon within his body felt almost corporeal, and his physical fitness improved again. With his current strength, he could easily kill Rank 5 or 6 alien beasts with his bare body alone!

"Continue reinforcing the Phoenix Undying Body!"

With the remaining fifteen thousand Origin points, Lin Chen chose to reinforce the Phoenix Undying Body. After all, it was his primary means of killing enemies. Whether against ghosts or 异兽, the Blood Qi True Flame had a miraculous effect.

In comparison, the Blood Qi True Dragon was inferior in this regard. The Dragon Roar Iron Shirt leaned more towards defense and strength.

"What's going on?" Suddenly, Lin Chen's expression changed. After choosing to continue reinforcing, he discovered that the Phoenix Undying Body remained at the first level, and his Origin points had not changed.

"Reinforce Phoenix Undying Body!"

Lin Chen reinforced it again, but the System panel remained unchanged. Unwilling to give up, Lin Chen tried to reinforce the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt, but the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt also showed no change.

"Not enough Origin!"

In an instant, Lin Chen understood what was happening. He didn't have enough Origin. When he first obtained the Phoenix Undying Body, he had tried to reinforce it and failed, precisely because he didn't have enough Origin.

The current failure to reinforce clearly indicated a lack of Origin!

"The Origin required for the second level is more than ten thousand? Twenty thousand, or even more?" Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, a thought flashing through his mind.
