After working overtime for seven days straight, Su Zhe died suddenly.
As his soul drifted away, a shabby sign sucked him into the "Three Realms Supermarket."
The System announced in a chilly voice: "Trainee stock clerk Su Zhe, time until your soul scatters: 30 days."
He stared at the shelves stocked with ghost cookies that had expired three hundred years ago, Meng Po's Soup that caused random amnesia, and height-boosting insoles that made your feet stink. He was completely dumbfounded.
Just then, a hungry little ghost came in, gnawing on a shelf. "Big brother, do you have anything to eat?"
Thinking fast, Su Zhe tweaked the ghost cookies' side effect from "unstable soul" to "farts that sparkle."
The little ghost ate them, farted out bursts of light, and happily paid with a ghost coin.
[Ding! Beginner mission complete!]
The supermarket doors boomed open, and Ox-Head and Horse-Face walked in, rubbing their rusty joints. "Boss, do you have any lubricant?"
