Global Horror: With My Netherworld Trillions, Game On!

Chapter 16: The Accountant Ghost Kowtows! Shocked Onlookers!

“No payment? How would that be right?” Upon hearing the accountant ghost’s words, Lin Yu quickly shook his head.

“I’m a man of principle. How could I take something so precious for free?” Lin Yu said firmly!

What a joke — this item was surely worth more than three thousand ghost coins!

If he didn’t seize this chance to complete the single-purchase task… finding another opportunity could be difficult!

A perfect-grade ghost contract would quickly boost Lin Yu’s strength right now!

Hearing Lin Yu’s words, the accountant ghost was puzzled!

Could it be that Master Lin’s “principles” included not accepting things for free?

Yet he couldn’t tell if this was Lin Yu testing him further, so the accountant ghost looked at the Thousand-Year Shadow Wood in his hand, and, after a quick thought, cautiously asked.

“Then… how about ten ghost copper coins?” The old ghost smiled, his tone ingratiating.

For a Thousand-Year Shadow Wood, this price was basically a giveaway!

Hearing this, Lin Yu raised his voice by eight notches!

“Ten ghost copper coins?”

This made the accountant ghost shiver all over!

Could ten still be too high?

He regretted not asking for one!

But Lin Yu’s next words stunned the accountant ghost completely!

“I’ll name a price…” Lin Yu held up three fingers.

“Three strings! One final offer!”

With that, three brand-new ghost copper coins emitting dark energy appeared in his hand!

They jingled as he shook them!

The accountant ghost stared in disbelief at the three strings of coins, placing the shadow wood respectfully on the table before reaching for the three strings of coins!

“This… this…”

His voice trembled, unable to form words!

This wasn’t just giving Lin Yu a gift… this was like getting an incredible deal!

Though precious, shadow wood would only fetch two strings at most in the ghost market!

He lacked the skill to forge ghost tools and was bound by a contract with the innkeeper, leaving this item useless to him!

Exchanging it for three strings of ghost copper coins was a blessing!

After all, ghost copper coins contain pure ghost energy, even if not used as currency!

Moreover, their contract with the Yellow Springs Inn’s innkeeper was limited by ghost copper coins, not by time!

With enough ghost copper coins, he could leave!

These three strings of coins would allow him to escape ten years early!

Looking at Lin Yu, he realized his previous fears were groundless…

“Why did I think Master Lin would hold a grudge against me?

“What kind of person is he? And what am I? Not worth holding a grudge!”

Suddenly, the accountant ghost’s resistance vanished!

Overcome with gratitude, he knelt on the spot!

“Thank you for your life-changing generosity!”

He said this, bowing repeatedly!

The remaining three onlookers were stunned!

The mature woman had initially felt a pang of jealousy when she saw Madam Zhang fail to harm Lin Yu, especially since she had recently been disfigured and was filled with resentment.

But ever since Lin Yu and the cook ghost drank together, and now the terrifying accountant ghost was kowtowing to him… she dared not feel any dissatisfaction towards Lin Yu anymore!

She even began praying that Lin Yu hadn’t noticed her earlier resentment!

Otherwise, she might meet a fate worse than death!

The bearded uncle was also shocked, mouth agape!

Even as a veteran from the last beta test with experience in five scenarios, he barely had any ways to confront ghosts directly!

All he could do was use rules and experience to negotiate with or avoid ghosts!

Besides, he could easily see…

Although the Yellow Springs Inn was a novice-level instance, none of the ghosts here were weak!

Madam Zhang, the accountant ghost — these ghosts were definitely high-level, at least fierce ghosts!

And the cook was likely a ferocious ghost of even higher rank!

And yet… this “new player” was making a fierce ghost kneel!

How was this possible?

“Could it be… he’s from one of those legendary ghost-taming families?” the bearded uncle murmured.

It seemed like he’d uncovered some hidden truth!

The simplest reaction was from Xiao Li, “Brother Lin is amazing!”

Her eyes sparkled as she watched the accountant ghost kowtowing.

This powerful and mysterious man was incredibly captivating to a shy girl who rarely interacted with others in real life.

And, in such dangerous circumstances, Lin Yu had been protecting her the entire time!

So now, Xiao Li… couldn’t help but feel a little flutter in her heart!
