Selling Sun Charms in the Underworld from the Start: Working Hard to Pay My Way Through School

One bowl of plain noodles, and the ghosts of the underworld weep in grief.

Ghosts have form but no substance, and cannot taste sweet, sour, bitter, or spicy.

Su Chen binds himself to the Yin-Yang Trading System.

And so, thousand-year-old ghosts from the underworld bow before spicy strips and cola.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang: Su Chen, hurry up and bring me your full banquet of 108 delicacies!

Emperor Wu of Han: I especially love these spicy grilled skewers, crispy on the outside and tender within. Su Chen, bring me another thousand servings.

Cao Cao, drunk as a lord: People say heroes are judged over wine warmed with green plums. Now I dare say that I, Cao Cao, am invincible beneath the heavens. Su Chen, bring another case of Moutai. Let's get drunk together.

Liu Xuande: I've fought wars for so many years. Can't I finally enjoy myself? Keep the music playing and the dancing going. Su Chen, what do you think of this dancer? I'll grant her to you.

Li Yuan: Erlang, I kindly brought you to Su Chen's place to enjoy yourself, and you dare steal my chicken leg? How dare you rebel against me!

Su Chen: …

Outside, Li Yunlong shouted: Su Chen, burn me some planes and cannons next time. I want to make Yamamoto experience ten thousand different ways to die.
