Chapter 188: Chapter 113: Even the Chickens of Golden Chicken Ridge Are Still Chickens, So Why Don’t They Lay Eggs?
The seller believed the price was too high and desperately tried to lower it…
The two parties haggled for more than half an hour. Lu Wenwu, through reason and emotion, finally managed to set the price at five thousand Spirit Coins per piece, only accepting Spirit Coins.
According to the Ghost Soldiers, Spirit Coins, Netherworld Currency, Incense, and Merit are all common currencies in the Underworld.
The Spirit Coins issued by the Celestial Court have the strongest purchasing power and are hard currency; they can even be used in other Netherworld and Divine Realms.
However, these are not commonly seen in the Underworld, akin to the status of Dao Le and Euro in some European and African countries.
Incense and Merit are wages for the Ghost Soldiers, not available to ordinary ghosts, with virtually no means to obtain them.
Netherworld Currency is the most common in the Underworld, mostly consisting of paper money, yellow paper charms, and paper ingots burned by descendants.
Why is Netherworld Currency by the pound?
Because apart from the official Netherworld Currency issued by the Underworld employing renowned Celestial Masters with Great Magical Power, the Netherworld Currency printed in large quantities in the Mortal World carries no meaning in its printed numbers; they can be as large as desired.
The true value lies in the emotions and thoughts of people in the Mortal World toward the deceased.
These emotions and thoughts are anchored to these paper monies and paper ingots, giving them “weight.”
If the emotions are sincere, even a single paper note can weigh a thousand pounds.
If made carelessly, no matter the vast quantity of paper money, it is no more than worthless waste paper.
When haggling over the price, Lu Wenwu tried it out. The Merit and Incense held by the Ghost Soldiers were useless to him, not to mention the Netherworld Currency.
Even when using Devouring Heaven and Earth for refinement, there was no enhancement.
Thus, Lu Wenwu decided to accept only Spirit Coins.
After the price was finalized, the group of Ghost Soldiers immediately brightened up with joy, marveling at how Lu Wenwu was truly like a clean and honest lord, and started lining up to buy pancakes, simultaneously trading Spirit Coins.
Soon, the dough in Lu Wenwu’s personal backpack was entirely consumed, all transformed into egg pancakes, filling the Ghost Soldiers’ stomachs…or rather, bodies.
There were too many Ghost Soldiers, and those with an abundance of Spirit Coin savings were also numerous.
Even with the rule of one pancake per Ghost Soldier, many couldn’t get one.
If he continued making and selling on the spot, Lu Wenwu might not leave Golden Rooster Mountain for a year.
He decisively closed up shop, stating that if fate allowed, they would meet at Ghost Realm Castle later, where he would continue selling.
The Ghost Soldiers who didn’t get a pancake sighed, and those players’ souls, moving sluggishly, became irksome to them, prompting them to speed up the progress.
In a matter of a few hours, Lu Wenwu raked in 580,000 Spirit Coins.
And this wasn’t even in the core areas of the Underworld yet!
It was a windfall!
Like picking money with a sack!
While packing up his cooking utensils, Lu Wenwu lamented how this business was indeed hugely profitable.
A 300% profit margin as an amusement, but the real profits were in selling egg pancakes in the Underworld.
If he were unscrupulous and collected some Merit and Incense to make a profit, the earnings on each pancake would be even higher.
Black and White Impermanence wanted to supplement Lu Wenwu with Spirit Coins.
Being in the position of Impermanence for many years, they had considerable savings.
But Lu Wenwu declined.
Though this skill could fetch sky-high prices outside,
it had nothing to do with cooking a meal for friends.
Besides…
The arrangement was to treat them to a meal, but in the end, he only offered one ghost two pancakes, not quite filling.
Lu Wenwu felt guilty and promised that when they met at Ghost Realm Castle later, he would treat Black and White Impermanence to a proper meal.
Not midway though.
Bringing it out again would cause delays with flocks of ghosts.
As for the few hours already delayed…
With Black and White Impermanence looking on knowingly, Lu Wenwu unfurled his Demon Dragon Wings, soaring into the sky and effortlessly crossing the precipices of Golden Rooster Mountain.
Up ahead, the sixth stop in the Underworld: Wild Ghost Village!
