"Only 199, only 199, 199! You won't regret it, you won't be ripped off! K Consortium Chocolate Launcher, only 199 Credit Point! Paired with.55 caliber chocolate bullets, it'll drive away ordinary brats in an instant! Any leftovers can be eaten as snacks—economical and affordable..."

Leon from the Blackthorn Ghost Catching Agency is doing his daily live-streaming sales. Unlike Mr. Dunn Simone, the star president of the agency who is responsible for building brand awareness and specializing in various wealthy families and difficult cases, Leon, as a subordinate employee, is more skilled at taking on various commercial cases.

From Preservative Film to deep fryers, from chocolate to toy guns, he took on any product related to ghost hunting, quickly becoming a well-known live-streaming e-commerce host.

Because the price is much lower than Dunn's, although he is required to do live streaming and is allowed to sell products, there are still many people who are not so rich, or who are not so rich, who entrust him to exorcise ghosts.

After reciting an advertising slogan as if it were burning his tongue, Leon twirled his toy gun in a beautiful flourish. The chocolate bullet shot out as the trigger was pulled, directly causing the ghost wandering in mid-air to stumble.

The ghost was like a spoiled child who, taking advantage of his young age, acted recklessly, only to be suddenly attacked by someone who didn't tolerate him. It squealed and flew away from Leon, and then...

It smacked onto the Preservative Film.

"Good Freshness Preservative Film is designed to lock in moisture and nutrients. Its highly polymerized molecules effectively prevent bacterial growth. It's also High Temperature and tear-resistant, so it won't deform even in Air Fryer, and it won't produce any toxic substances. Whether for everyday use or for warding off evil spirits, it's an excellent choice. Buy three now and enjoy a buy-three-get-one-free offer—a real steal!"

Leon uttered the advertisement in a melodious tone, while his hand rapidly rolled up the Preservative Film and spun it all over the ghost, soon producing a ghost roll.

However, instead of throwing it directly into the Air Fryer like Dunn did, he shouted into the Live Broadcast Room:

"A low-level Earthbound Spirit, priced at 20,000 Credit Point. As usual, I'll be holding a lottery. Those interested can enter the lottery; those who don't plan to buy shouldn't bother, lest you end up paying me to catch one!"

As Leon spoke, he skillfully created a live lottery, and as viewers flooded in, the results quickly appeared.

"Okay, this time the winner is 'Let Me...' cough cough, dear viewer, next time you participate in a lottery, please use a name that a human can pronounce. Anyway, please send your contact information and transaction details to the streamer's personal account via in-game mail within three days..."

As the final sales segment concluded, Leon ended the live stream, hoisted the goblin wrapped in Preservative Film wrap onto his shoulder, and waited for an in-system message while simultaneously opening his terminal to notify this client.

As soon as the figure appeared on the terminal screen, he spoke directly without any preamble:

"Mr. Lyles, your commission is complete. When will the final payment be made?"

"Yes, I Think it, I'll transfer the money right away." Mr. Lyles on the screen didn't say anything to Leon's rudeness. Soon after, Leon received a text message confirming the transfer amount. After saying goodbye to this purchasing man from the company who could afford to live in the Rhine River Apartments for some reason, he headed to the nearby office of Loken Water Tank.

Yes, the transaction method sent by the lucky winner was a direct handover from Loken Water Tank's own store.

This situation is not surprising. In fact, in previous auctions, most of the buyers of ghosts were large and medium-sized enterprises.

Although these companies also conduct their own ghost-hunting operations, they don't mind buying the captured samples for further research.

In reality, these large companies have all found that all five identities were purchased by Feng Xue. But regardless of whether the story is true or false, the concept of "ghosts" is objectively real. Whether its essence is the so-called Quantum Ghost, the spirit of the dead, or an electronic virus, it is something that all major companies must study.

Even if you don't plan to develop products or create value based on this thing, you should at least ensure that you are not disturbed by its existence.

Feng Xue was clearly not interested in money; he was simply curious about what kind of things these cyber companies could research based on the Gu Poison Body.

It's worth mentioning that the identities he's currently managing have all acquired at least two Tag. Based on his experience, as long as he can maintain this pace, he should be able to truly create a Weird Tale within a month at most.

However, considering the unique characteristics of the world, we cannot completely apply our experience. The fundamental reason lies in the difference in the speed of information flow.

In ancient worlds like those of martial arts fiction, information spreads slowly. It often takes several months for a legend to spread, and without a reliable information dissemination organization, it may not even take one or two years to achieve any results.

On the other hand, such world information is also very valuable. Due to its limited dissemination, a storyteller can tell the same story over and over again for many years. This means that as long as a legend with relatively high topicality is constructed, one can wait for it to become Weird Tale.

But this is not the case in this world, because the rate of information metabolism is so fast that information itself does not retain its value. An Urban Legend can go from being a hit to Cooldown in just a few days. If there is no continuous stimulation, even a major event that causes a nationwide sensation can be completely forgotten in just over a month.

Therefore, to create Weird Tale in this world, one must be quick and decisive, constantly building influence, increasing attention, and giving the public wave after wave of information. In a very short time, all the hype must be squeezed out at once, so as to quickly and easily create Supernatural Tale Entry.

However, the downside of doing this is that once Weird Tale is formed, it will quickly weaken and become a burden that must be supported.

However, as long as we can gamble out the Trait that Feng Xue wants, it's definitely worthwhile to use the revenue from other Trait to support it.

While pondering these questions, Feng Xue carried the "ghost" without pause and arrived at the office of Loken Water Tank.

Although he attracted a lot of attention along the way, his face is now somewhat well-known. Not only has it not caused too much trouble, but it has even brought him a considerable amount of income from the Tag.

"Ding-dong..."

A simple notification came from the terminal, but the message content did not immediately pop up. Feng Xue immediately realized that this was not something he should be reading under his current identity. He immediately took the elevator to the ground floor, an area without surveillance cameras, smoothly switched identities, and opened the text message signed "Constantine Heavy Industry".

To his surprise, the content of the text message was...

"Live-streaming e-commerce?"
