I Get Stronger by Slaying Ghosts, and Uncle Jiu Can't Keep Up

Struck dead by a runaway truck, I woke up as Wencai, Uncle Jiu's good-for-nothing apprentice. I was bound to the Ghost-Slaying System, and killing ghosts made me stronger. Day One: I took down three wandering spirits. Day Three: I crafted twenty high-grade talismans by hand, leaving Uncle Jiu wide-eyed with shock. Day Seven: One punch nearly twisted Old Master Ren's head clean off. Uncle Jiu's hands shook like a leaf as he held his teacup. “You call this Wencai? This is the Star of Literary Glory incarnate!” The zombies in the neighboring town are running amok, a curse master has set up a formation of a hundred ghosts, and a thousand-year-old Corpse King is about to awaken... I rubbed my knuckles. “Don't rush. Get in line. I'll kill you one at a time.” A ghost-slaying power-up story, a grand crossover of Uncle Jiu's movie universe, and an overworked employee turning the rat race on its head.
