"Doesn’t this mean there are suddenly more ghosts now? Everyone has a herd mentality, and those Old Ghosts who are almost crazy for merit think there’s some special limited-time merit event in the Underworld that they don’t know about, so they start worshiping too."

"As a result, rumors spread everywhere—Is this true? During the Moon Worship Festival, there’s not only a holiday but also extra merit? The news spread rapidly, and in the end, the entire square was filled with kneeling ghosts!"

"What on earth is this about!"

Ju Li, who was obviously also pulled in for a shift at the time, looked so disgruntled that her anger was almost tangible, and even her movements to start the Paper Boat were significantly more violent as she shot off with a sudden lurch.

Lu Wenwu sat in the passenger seat, experiencing the thrill of the female driver’s wild ride, while also studying some of the High Tier standard equipment from the Transdimensional Armory in front of him.

...

These two are merely the most commonly used weapons, obviously placed on the outer side, easily accessible for use.

In addition, there are other Underworld hot weapons like powerful rocket launchers, hand grenades, and large-caliber sniper rifles.

These things, although they appear identical to Human World equipment on the surface, are actually oversized enchanted throwing stone tools.

But in reality, their underlying principles are entirely different.

Compared to gunpowder kinetic weapons, Underworld hot weapons are actually more aligned with "Light Energy Weapons," "Miniature Magic Scrolls," or "Light-Engraved Talismans," combining elements of Human World technology and the cultivation system.

Taking the essence and discarding the waste, their main feature is the blend of physical and magical dual cultivation.

Looking at the dazzling array of equipment in the Transdimensional Armory, Lu Wenwu suddenly recalled Master Ruhuo whom he encountered before, and felt he had a tangible understanding of the modernization of the Underworld.

If he could encounter a top Gun Master or Mechanician during future dungeon raids, it might be quite interesting.

The speed of the Paper Boat was very fast. In no time, it had passed the Ghost Realm Castle toll station.

Ju Li navigated the Paper Boat to the main river course above the Wangchuan River.

Listening to the never-ending wailing below, one person and one ghost used the Ghost An privilege to directly take the fast lane, rushing upstream against the endless blood-red river at the fastest speed towards Beiyin Mountain.

Sitting on the Paper Boat and looking down, Lu Wenwu could see quite a few fishers with their small stools and complete gear happily fishing on a tributary of the Wangchuan River.

Even though it was broad daylight, they remained unfazed, because fishing was the most important part of their lives!

It’s well-known that as long as there is water, no matter how bizarre the place, wild fishers will randomly appear.

That’s the spirit of the fishing rod of the fishers!

Even if Yang Qi fills the sky, even if trapped, even if their skills are subpar to the core, as long as there’s water, a fishing rod must be raised!

Even if they return empty-handed, they do so with honor!

Even if they’ve reached the Underworld, already crossed the Bridge of Helplessness, fishers must cast a line into the Wangchuan River.

Of course, the Underworld doesn’t really care about fishers fishing in the Wangchuan River.

Not only do they not care, but they even encourage it.

To the fish, those fishing Immortals are well deserving of the title of Immortal.

Every time they fish, it’s like starving deriving disaster relief!

Ample delicious food, filling all the fish souls in the Wangchuan River until they’re fully satisfied.

In fact, there is even a legend among the fish both in the Underworld and Human World:

Whenever a fishing Immortal descends, just offer a sacrificial bite to the hook a few times, and a pleased fishing Immortal would grant endless delicious food to the whole group.

If they truly can’t bear to sacrifice their kin, they can also offer up silicone Tai Sui found in the water, the bodies of other Immortals, imitations of Immortal bodies, or the corpses of deceased kin.

However, this might drive the fishing Immortal to anger, disappearing never to return.

Does fishing in the Underworld and not releasing increase karmic force, or add negative merit?
