Chapter 196: Chapter 165: Are you crazy? Opening a haunted house in the Ghost Market?
Translator: 549690339
Xu Yang was unaware of Chiyan Ghost King’s plot.
At the moment, he was too busy counting money, his hands cramping up, to care about anything else.
Technically, he wasn’t just counting money.
He was counting gold, jewelry, and silver dollars and ingots!
Ma Long’s eyes turned red with envy, he whispered: “Xu Yang… where did you get all these clothes from?”
Xu Yang replied truthfully: “I went on a shopping spree at the street stalls.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
“Damn!”
Seeing the boxes stuffed with gold, jewelry, and silver dollars and ingots, Ma Long’s face twisted with envy and burst out swearing, “Damn, dead men’s fortunes are really profitable! You buy a bunch of cheap items at the stall for a few dollars each, then sell them at the Ghost Market for a profit of tens or even hundreds of times? ”
Xu Yang laughed: “Let me correct you, I didn’t buy a single item. Instead, I bought a lot of stuff from different stalls, so my prices were cheaper. Each pair of shoes or clothing cost me around 20 dollars.”
Ma Long: ”???? ”
Xu Yang continued: “Plus, you calculated the profit wrong. According to the prices I set, even after factoring in the discounts and promotions, I intentionally reduced the prices so that the average profit for each item was over 1000 times. Moreover, this isn’t making money from the dead, it’s making money from ghosts!”
Goods worth 20 dollars.
A thousand times the profit?
That’s 20,000 dollars?
“Damn!”
“Xu Yang, you’re making more money than a robbery… You must have made tens of millions in one night?”
“More or less.”
Xu Yang said: “The main reason is that I saw many ghosts struggling in poverty, so I deliberately lowered the prices… I’m going for a low-profit, high- sales strategy, so the profit could be even higher!”
You’re selling clothes and shoes for 20,000 dollars a piece, and you fucking call that a low-profit, high-sales strategy?
Ma Long, with bloodshot eyes, said: “Old Xu, Brother Xu… No, I should call you dad. You need any more employees in your store? I’ll work for you. Just throw me some leftovers from your earnings.”
“Really?”
Xu Yang’s face lit up with joy.
He was worried that Ma Long wouldn’t dare to go to the Ghost Market anymore.
With Ma Long willing to work, they can go to the Ghost Market on the first and fifteenth of each month. Bringing just a few “dirty things” back would be enough.
“You can work in the store if you want, and we’ll have a one-work-and- fourteen-rest system.”
Xu Yang laughed: “On the first and fifteenth of each month, you’ll enter the Ghost Market at midnight. You’ll close the shop and lock the door before daybreak. By my calculations, you’ll work only two days a month, about five hours a day. As for the salary… How about a monthly payment of 500,000 dollars?”
“Only ten hours of work per month? A salary of 500,000 dollars a month?”
Ma Long was itching to call Xu Yang his father and wanted to hug and kiss him, but Xu Yang pushed him away in disgust.
He asked again: “What will be my main responsibility? Selling clothes or shoes? Or should I sell those paper dolls on the second floor? With my skills, I’m sure they’ll sell like hotcakes!”
“These are all popular items, no need to promote them.”
Xu Yang thought for a moment and said: “We’ll talk about your tasks next time we’re in the Ghost Market… I have an idea to set up something like a haunted house in the Ghost Market, but I don’t know if it’s feasible.”
Ma Long chuckled: “Old Xu, are you kidding me? Opening a haunted house in the Ghost Market to make money from ghosts?”
“The key is… would ghosts even visit a haunted house?”
Xu Yang ignored Ma Long.
For him, money was just a number, sometimes not even as useful as toilet paper. As long as he was willing, he could sell a “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman” or a “divine strength talisman” for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And drawing a Daoist talisman only took a few minutes.
What he needed was “merit points”.
By opening a haunted house in the Ghost Market and acting like an NPC, he could create an atmosphere!
After pondering for a few seconds, he said: “I think this is a good idea. After returning, I’ll plan it thoroughly. If it’s feasible, next time the Ghost Market opens, I’ll find a place and start decorating.”
Soon.
The lively Ghost Market began to disperse.
Daylight was approaching.
Xu Yang took the half-box of gold and silver treasures he had collected tonight, locked the door, and left the Ghost Market with Ma Long.
The two of them snuck out of the crossroads like ghosts.
As for Liu Shishi and the others, their method of entering and leaving the Ghost Market was different from that of the living.
“Old Xu, I’m going home to sleep.”
As soon as they left the Ghost Market, Ma Long yawned: “I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow.”
“Wait!”

Xu Yang stopped Ma Long and said: “Don’t rush home just yet. When living people enter the Ghost Market, it’s inevitable that they’ll attract unclean things. Let’s go to my shop first, deal with it, and then you can go home.” “What unclean things?”
Ma Long laughed: “Don’t worry, Old Xu, I’m very clean.”
Although he said so, he followed Xu Yang to the funeral shop.
After all, his car was parked there, and he needed to drive home.
However…
On the way to the funeral shop, Ma Long noticed something strange. He felt a growing heaviness on his back, as if he was carrying a person…
Wait!
It wasn’t just one person!
The heavy sensation on his back bent Ma Long’s waist. He immediately turned his head to look at Xu Yang.
Upon looking, Ma Long nearly jumped in fright.
Because he saw…
There was also someone on Xu Yang’s back!
