Chapter 6053: One Hundred Million Ghost Coins?
The transactions in the ghost markets weren’t limited to physical things such as treasures and people. Intangible things such as emotions or virtues could also be sold. Some great ghosts liked to collect just about anything.
“Why do the ghosts buy these things?” Six-style found it puzzling.
“We touched on this briefly, they’re still people.” Li Qiye said.
“Oh?” She replied.
“They were people once, transformed into these beings. The question is, do they want to continue being ghosts or return to being regular people?” He said.
“Reversion is possible?” She didn’t expect this possibility.
“People can turn into ghosts so ghosts can change back as well.” He said.
“What is the process?” She took a deep breath and asked.
“The ghosts here are people who have lost what they once had. When they find and trade for it, they’ll turn back to normal and forget about how they were once ghosts, like a forgotten previous life. You could have been one.” He said.
She shuddered after hearing this.
“Therefore, they’re not scarier than people and have merely lost some things, like their courage or kindness, freedom, part of many transactions.” He smiled.
“Hence the markets.” She gradually understood the reason for the ghost markets.
“Sir, are you interested in selling anything?” Someone approached and quietly asked Li Qiye.
The ghost was shrouded in fog. It felt as if a gust of wind could make it disperse. Nevertheless, a mighty physique brimming with life could be seen within.
“What do you have available?” Li Qiye asked.
“It depends on what you’re looking for.” The ghost seemed keen on doing business with Li Qiye.
“What I’m looking for might be beyond your procuring ability.” Li Qiye said.
“Perhaps.” The ghost stared at Li Qiye briefly before nodding: “But you can hire me. I have information no one else does in this market.”
“I’m interested. I know a war occurred here but no one knows the details. Can you say otherwise?” Li Qiye said.
“I cannot assist before you hire me, Sir. As for the war you’re talking about, I was not a ghost then, the details also elude me.” The ghost said.
“Then that’s the end of it.” Li Qiye waved his hand.
“I do have pertinent and valuable information though.” The ghost said.
“Oh? How much does it cost to hire you then.” Li Qiye asked.
“The price would be higher for summoning, but since I took the initiative today, you can hire me for one hundred million ghost coins. I will stay until you leave, Sir.” The ghost said.
“One hundred million?” Six-style was surprised to hear the fee.
