"What trap are you talking about?" Qin Nuo scratched his head in confusion.
The Blood-Eyed Ghost wasn't buying Qin Nuo's act of playing dumb, convinced that he had fallen into this human's trap.
Claiming to know nothing, yet able to complete all the steps of the contract with such proficiency!
Who are you trying to fool?
But it was too late to say anything now; the Blood-Eyed Ghost had no choice but to accept his fate.
The eye on the back of his hand closed.
The corpse aura on his right hand dissipated.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the passive task and receiving a Silver Chest ×1!"
Qin Nuo didn't rush to open it, tossing it into the toolbar, then looked at the dumbfounded Chen Yuan: "Wasn't that pretty easy?"
Chen Yuan swallowed hard: "Wow, did you eat that ghost?"
"It's on my right hand, and for now, it's under my control. It has to work for me for a year before it can gain its freedom," Qin Nuo explained simply.
"This game can be played like that?"
"You can give it a try."
Chen Yuan pursed his lips: "I wouldn't dare to court death like that."
Qin Nuo didn't have time to chat with Chen Yuan and walked out of the shelving area.
At the front, the Boss and the Boss Lady had appeared at some point.
The Boss looked at Qin Nuo with a gloomy expression: "Making such a commotion, are you trying to tear down my shop?"
"To catch that thief, a bit of noise was unavoidable."
The Boss Lady was taken aback: "You mean, you caught that thief?"
"Caught him."
"How did you catch him?"
"You don't need to worry about that. From now on, your goods won't go missing anymore."
After saying that, Qin Nuo added, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your stock clerk; he saw it with his own eyes."
Hiding among the shelves, Chen Yuan cursed under his breath for being put on the spot and had to come out: "Boss Lady, he... he really caught the thief."
The Boss ran into the shelving area, took a few deep sniffs, and suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "The annoying smell is really gone, that little thief was really caught!"
The Boss Lady looked very surprised and asked, "How did you deal with it?"
"Killed it."
The couple clearly didn't believe Qin Nuo's answer.
Qin Nuo didn't care whether they believed him or not, and said, "I've solved your problem, so shouldn't you give me that Ingredient No. 8?"
The Boss Lady didn't say anything, turned around, and came back with a stack of Ghost Currency, stuffing it into Qin Nuo's hand: "Ingredient No. 8 is actually sold out, consider this our thank you gift, take it and go."
Qin Nuo held the Ghost Currency and looked up: "Boss Lady, that's not very honest."
Hearing this, the ghost couple's faces turned black.
They didn't know about the cursed contract, believing the Blood-Eyed Ghost's words that it could come out once Qin Nuo was dead.
If they didn't give up Ingredient No. 8, and Qin Nuo died, this Glutton would surely stay with them forever, eating them into bankruptcy!
Thinking it over.
Using one Ingredient No. 8 seemed quite worth it?
As long as they could get rid of this plague, any loss to the supermarket could be made up.
"Kid, you're ruthless." The Boss Lady's face was very unpleasant.
After being tricked by the Nether Springs Restaurant, she had vowed never to sell any ingredients to them again, and now she was being slapped in the face!
"I'll sell it to you, but 2000 Ghost Currency, not a penny less."
"Of course." Qin Nuo smiled slightly, that Pinocchio guy had some conscience, at least he really gave Qin Nuo a black gold card to swipe Ghost Currency.
2000 Ghost Currency, not a penny more or less!
The blood eye on the back of his hand closed.
Qin Nuo secretly gave the Blood-Eyed Ghost a thumbs up: "Buddy, pretty smart, scaring them like that!"
What drove the ghost couple crazy was the Blood-Eyed Ghost.
The phrase "stay with them forever" directly broke their defenses, making them quickly hand over Ingredient No. 8!
The Boss Lady told Qin Nuo to wait, then went into a room.
The Boss glared at Qin Nuo fiercely, his gaze murderous enough that Qin Nuo felt he was already numb from dying.
Hiding among the shelves, Chen Yuan was already stunned.
Wow!
This guy's heart is really big, negotiating with ghosts, even verbally threatening them, not even Liang Jingru would dare to give such courage, right?
While shocked, an indescribable admiration also surged in Chen Yuan's heart!
"If I could be half as carefree in this game, that would be great!"
After a long time, the Boss Lady came out, holding a vintage box made of metallic copper.
The lock was an ancient horizontal lock, full of mystery.
"Here's the ingredient you wanted." The Boss Lady handed it over, along with a key.
Qin Nuo took the box, slightly stunned: "This is Ingredient No. 8?"
No. 8 was just a code name; no one knew what was inside the box.
Holding the box, Qin Nuo felt his emotions being affected, becoming unusually irritable.
Then, the box shook violently.
"Is Ingredient No. 8 a living thing?"
