New Times, New Hell

Ch13 - Underworld Energy Detector

On this day, Yu Zhengdu was in the middle of writing code when he received Shang Que's harassing messages.

My broke-ass Boss:【I remembered a way to earn money. It's one religious men used all the time in the past】

Yu Zhengdu:【?】

My broke-ass Boss:【But only living humans can use this skill. It's up to you if you want to sacrifice yourself for money】

Yu Zhengdu immediately became alert after reading Shang Que's message. Ever since he had been forced to stop spending money on his games and once again re-entered the cycle of getting beaten up, Shang Que had become a bit depressed. He now spent a large amount of his energy on planning how to get rich, but it seemed that the ways to earn money differed greatly between the Underworld and mortal realm.

Yu Zhengdu:【What skill is it?】

My broke-ass Boss:【Have you heard of the Five Ghosts Money Transporting spell?】

Of course Yu Zhengdu had never heard of it. But he was 120% careful everytime his boss had a suggestion, so resolutely decided to search it up online.

The supposed Five Ghosts Money Transporting spell was one that used magic to control five ghosts to transport money. The ghosts would move other people's money into the spellcaster's home. It was also known as the Five Ghosts Underworld Debt spell and was originally created as a way to borrow from the Underworld; the spell could easily rebound.

Yu Zhengdu:【......Isn't this an evil spell!】

My broke-ass Boss:【Yeah, but don't you mortals normally say, riches can only be obtained from dangerous situations?】

My broke-ass Boss:【Besides, my abilities are very orthodox. It'll be a lot less dangerous than if it were cast by some random mortal.】

Yu Zhengdu read his boss's response and somehow felt that he was reading the ad from a WeChat business: Our abilities are the best! No side effects or dangers!

Yu Zhengdu thought about it and replied:【Thanks to your idea, I just thought of a way to make money too. It's very suitable for our company and is ethical, so there's no danger】

My broke-ass Boss:【What is it?】

Yu Zhengdu:【The Five Ghosts Money Transporting spell is too off the rails, it's not suited for us, but you can consider changing it up to make a Five Ghosts Brick Transporting spell. We'll try to become the boss of the construction site】

Yu Zhengdu:【If you do well, maybe you can even become the contractor】

My broke-ass Boss:【......】

Soon after, Shang Que left his office and pulled up a chair to sit next to Yu Zhengdu. He crossed his legs and propped his chin on his hand; matched with his handsome features, his entire being radiated an eye-catching aura.

Yu Zhengdu remained focused on his computer screen, fingers incessantly tapping at the keyboard. He didn't even spare a glance.

A pause later, Shang Que heavily sighed. "Will we really have to control ghosts to move bricks?"

Yu Zhengdu could only turn his head to look at him. It was true, Boss's appearance was very elite, his clothes seemed high-end and one couldn't tell he was poor at all. He couldn't help teasing him, "Don't worry, you'll definitely be the most handsome man on the construction site."

Shang Que: "......"

Yu Zhengdu wanted to make fun of him some more, but he got another notification on WeChat. It was from Li Tiantian, who hadn't contacted him for a while since he gifted her a stone.
