Earth-Burial Wine

At first, Perverted Ghost had regarded Lin Luo as an ant.

At the slightest disagreement,

he would slaughter him.

But Emotion Stitching in Lin Luo's thumb could alter a ghost's emotions.

When Lin Luo used it, Perverted Ghost's expression went blank before he broke into an ingratiating smile.

"Young man, I'm counting on you for the happiness of my lower half. Succeed, and I'll reward you handsomely."

Perverted Ghost's attitude toward Lin Luo had changed dramatically.

Using Emotion Stitching in his thumb, Lin Luo had replaced Perverted Ghost's disdain with enthusiasm.

"Sir, I'll do everything I can. I won't disappoint you."

"Then sorry for the trouble."

Just then, Director Ghost came in carrying a container.

Inside were four kidneys from male dogs.

Director Ghost had been worried that Perverted Ghost would refuse to cooperate with the treatment. Seeing him chatting and laughing with Lin Luo left him utterly stunned. It was simply unbelievable.

This Perverted Ghost was an overbearing tyrant who considered himself above everyone, even other ghosts.

What exactly had Lin Luo done to make Perverted Ghost treat him like this?

"Sir, please lie on your stomach. I'll begin the operation now."

Lin Luo spoke politely to Perverted Ghost.

Perverted Ghost cooperated readily, without a single complaint.

He was completely different from the impatient lecher who had wanted to jump into bed earlier.

"9527, why is Perverted Ghost listening to you?"

Director Ghost approached Lin Luo and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"I just reasoned with him."

Lin Luo gave him an innocent smile, but his words left Director Ghost speechless.

Perverted Ghost had always behaved outrageously. Trying to reason with him was just asking for trouble.

"I won't ask any more questions. Make sure you do a good job. As long as Perverted Ghost is satisfied, you'll be rewarded generously."

Director Ghost dangled a tempting promise before Lin Luo.

But Lin Luo responded to his promise by saying, "Director, I've always had a particular fondness for wine. I hear you have some Earth-Burial Wine in your private collection. If I pull this off, could I have a flask to try?"

Director Ghost froze at those words.

The human players who entered the Yellow Springs Hospital instance struggled to scrape by, thinking of nothing but survival.

This was the first time he had met someone like Lin Luo, who actually wanted to ask him for wine.

Earth-Burial Wine was indeed part of Director Ghost's prized collection.

But if it could win Perverted Ghost's favor, it would be worth it!

"Fine. Get this done properly, and I'll agree. But I'm warning you: if you fail, you'll be half crippled, if not dead!"

After a moment's hesitation, Director Ghost agreed.

"All right."

Lin Luo nodded firmly.

Then Lin Luo reined in his emotions and focused entirely on operating on Perverted Ghost.

Operating on ghosts was clearly easier than operating on humans.

At the very least, there was no need for anesthesia, and even stuffing in a few extra kidneys wouldn't cause organ necrosis.

Lin Luo had already mastered this sort of knowledge at Binhai Medical College.

The four kidneys Director Ghost had brought had all been cut out of vigorous adult male dogs. They were still warm to the touch.

Suppressing his disgust, Lin Luo removed Perverted Ghost's two necrotic kidneys and replaced them with the four dog kidneys.

After replacing the organs, Lin Luo deftly stitched up Perverted Ghost's wound.

Kidneys from male dogs in heat really were potent.

As soon as the operation was finished, Perverted Ghost felt the difference.

"Excellent. This is far better than I expected."

Perverted Ghost was immensely satisfied, grinning from ear to ear.

His entire mouth stretched into a horrifying curve.

Over the past few days, Lin Luo had encountered plenty of ghosts, and his mental resilience had improved accordingly.

He showed no sign of discomfort.

Instead, he greeted him with a smile and offered his congratulations. "Congratulations on regaining your virility, sir. When it comes to prowess in that department, I doubt any ghost can compare to you."

Lin Luo's words delighted Perverted Ghost, who took out a black card stained with a bloody handprint.

"You're pretty good, kid. Very good. This is my business card. If you ever run into trouble, bring this black card to the Nightfall Hotel and find me!"

Perverted Ghost's words immediately lifted Lin Luo's spirits.

The Nightfall Hotel was a high-level instance that even veteran players dreaded.

It was nothing like a beginner instance such as Yellow Springs Hospital.

This operation had paid off spectacularly!

"You did well. Much better than I expected."

Director Ghost spoke with heartfelt sincerity.

Lin Luo's performance had indeed been outstanding. Even veteran players couldn't compare!

"Director, I was only doing my job. By the way, when can I have the Earth-Burial Wine?"

Lin Luo smiled politely, but his words made Director Ghost freeze.

This human really was bold and shrewd. He wasn't remotely afraid of angering him.

"Since I promised it to you, I won't go back on my word."

As Director Ghost spoke, slime dribbled from his four mouths.

The next second, those four mouths merged into one and spat out a thick glob of phlegm.

The phlegm melted upon hitting the floor, revealing a porcelain bottle filled with wine.

At the sight, the corners of Lin Luo's mouth twitched involuntarily. The way this Earth-Burial Wine had been produced was truly unbearable to watch. He had nearly thrown up last night's dinner.

"This is Earth-Burial Wine. You certainly know your stuff, kid. Among all the Netherworld Wines, Earth-Burial ranks among the finest."

"You're right, Director Ghost. Earth-Burial really is a prestigious Netherworld Wine."

Suppressing his nausea, Lin Luo put away the Earth-Burial Wine and spoke with a beaming smile.

His words filled Director Ghost with delight.

"Of course it is. Earth-Burial is a Netherworld Wine even the Hospital Director loves!"

When discussing Earth-Burial Wine, Director Ghost looked proud.

Seeing Director Ghost mention the Hospital Director, a gleam flashed through Lin Luo's eyes. Smiling, he said, "Director, I hear the Hospital Director has some Yellow Springs Wine in his private collection. If I could drink my fill of it, I'd have no regrets in life."

Those words left Director Ghost stunned.

"Where did you get that information, kid? I've never met such a wine fanatic. You even have your eye on the Hospital Director's Yellow Springs Wine!"

Director Ghost was speechless.

The Hospital Director treasured his Yellow Springs Wine.

Even Director Ghost had only tasted it a handful of times.

"When life goes well, savor every pleasure; don't let your golden cup sit empty beneath the moon. Only by tasting every exquisite nectar and fine wine in the world can we truly make life worthwhile."

Lin Luo feigned an obsession with Netherworld Wine, but his words deeply moved Director Ghost.

He was a ghost who loved wine, yet he had never found a like-minded drinking companion at Yellow Springs Hospital and could only enjoy it alone. Lin Luo's gesture instead won his affection.

"Well said. Tomorrow, I'll recommend you to the Hospital Director. Keep up the good work, and he might actually reward you with Yellow Springs Wine."

Director Ghost patted Lin Luo on the shoulder.

"Director Ghost, thank you so much. I'm truly fortunate to be able to work under you."

Lin Luo acted as though they had found common ground, while discreetly touching Director Ghost with his Crimson Demon Finger.

Director Ghost was at the Vengeful Ghost Tier and was very powerful.

The Crimson Demon Finger was consequently limited as well.

Lin Luo concentrated so intensely that his eyes were beginning to ache and water before he finally managed to access Director Ghost's memories.
